THE PRINCE coNsORT's DREAM.

The effort of the Car to bring perma-
nent peace recalls the fact that Albert,
the prince consort of Victoria believed
in peace. The Chicago News says that
at the opening of the Crystal Palace ex-
hibition, nearly half a century ago. he
told the world that this exhibition her
aided the dawn of peace; that thereafter
the dogs of war would never be let loose
This was in 1851. Yet in 1854 England
waged war against Russia; in 1856 she
waged war against China: in 1856 she
waged war against Persia: in 1857 she
made blood run like water in India,
crushing the mutiny there; in 1859
France, Italy and Austria became en-
gagged in war: in 1861 the United States
entered upon the bloodiest civil war ever
known to the world; in 1866 Prussia van
quished Austria; in 1867 England began
her war against Abyssinia in 1870 France
and Germany engaged in their bloody
struggle; in 1874 England waged war
against the Ashantees; in 1877 Russia and
Turkey went to war: In 1879 England be-
gan her Zulu war; in 1882 England bonn
barded Alexandria and invaded Egypt:
in 1888 Chile and Peru were at war: in
1888 the French were at war In Tonking;
in 1894 China and Japan went to war; In
1896 Greece and Turkey were at war; in
1888 the United States went to war with
Spain.

OUR NAVY.

The Army and Navy Journal notes that
the North Atlantic fleet, with its hun
dred or more vessels, and commanded by
Admiral Sampson, is about TO lose some
of its greatness. A number of its vessels
are to be withdrawn soon and assigned to
the several foreign stations later in the
autumn, while many of the auxiliary
craft and monitors will be laid up or
sold. Even though stripped of its great
power, the North Atlantic station will
continue to remain the most important
of our naval commands. The European
station will be resumed, and a fleet Of
more powerful vessels will take the place
of the ships which vacated that COM
cherished project for the creation of a
new station in the South Pacific, with
a base probably at Valparaiso or Cailao,
may now be possible, since the depart
ment has number of good ships at its
disposal. The Pacific, Asiatic and South
Atlantic stations are also to receive their
quota of vessels. The Eastern squadron
will necessarily be kept up in full
strength, and the North Atlantic fleet
will supply this station with number OF
its best ships Otherwise the North At
lantic fleet is not to be diminished until
peace is finally assured. The reorganiza-
ton of the navy under this plan will
make. openings for several officers of flag
rank, and it is expected there will be
competition for more satisfactory places
than the present distribution.

and unaccountable secrecy
to blame for it,
England and France.

The memory of man does not go back
to time when it did not seem easy to
bring a crisis in the affairs of England
and France. In the early part of the
century the expectation of French in
vasion was an essential part of the edu-
cation of every English child. Even
thirty years ago English people put a
prompt veto on scheme to tunnel the
channel. not because Of the impracti-
cability of the plan, but because il
might serve as road for the invasion
of England by the French Since the
war between Germany and France the
loss of military prestige by the latter
has made the English less sensitive on
the subject. but the prejudice against
the French has continued: while in
France the English. as a nation, are
cordially hated. That Great Britain did
not interfere to prevent the defeat of
France and the assault on Paris by the
Germans has made the hatred more
keen.
There have been frequent indications
of ill-feeling. notably in the repeated
demand of the French for England's re-
tirement from Egypt. Wherever, in
Africa, the small bodies of soldiers of
the two countries have been in touch
only the firmness of the English officers
and the discretion of the French have
prevented a collision that would lead to
war. Many foresighted statesmen have
long predicted trouble as result of the
grabbing for African territory. The
motives of the two have been So entire
ly different that the English have had
but little patience with their neighbors.
AT last crisis seems to have been
reached where one or the other must re-
cede. England can hardly do il after
the firm stand taken by Lord Salisbury.
while the French government must in
cur the danger of loss of popular sup
port il il is seen to abandon its claims.
OF course. in this day, nations do not
rush into war so rashly as they did
century ago. There are many things to
consider that formerly cut little figure
in declarations of war. If the French
government could be assured of making
a fair showing; if il could count on car
rying on a war without great loss of
glory, there would be much to be gain
ed by clash with England. 1t would
bring the whole people into harmony.
dispose of the Dreyfus scandal and re-
store the military staff in the popular
esteem A war with England. however.
would mean naval battles, and the fate
of Spain would be that OF France This
is the one thing that encourages the
hope of peace. Yet the French govern
ment is nearly desperate, and it is
toss-up whether a backdown before the
English or declaration of war is least
serious.

on THE CAMPUS NARTIUs.

In Detroit they have Campus MartiuS.
which is called many different things by
persons who do not live there There is
a soldiers monument there, and il is the
resort of bootblacks and wandering fakirs.
The Free Press gives this account of
patent rat trap fakir who rolled an empty
flour barrel near the north front of the
soldiers monument. and mounting the
upper head of the barrel began haranguing
a crowd of shoe sinners and others that
soon gathered about him "FeIleF citi-
zens'' he shouted. I'm no stranger in

first time that I've come before VOC; and

Stranger in this ere town of yours
At this juncture the head of the barrel
collapsed, and instantly the eloquent fakir
and his bundle OF rat traps were out of
sight in the fog of -four that arose from
the interior of his improvised rostrum.
Subsequently there came very near being
a fight between a half dozen shoe sinners.
each of whom clamorousiy asserted that
he had done more than all others in
brushing the -four from the clothing of
the fakir. The dispute was finally settled
by a showing of shoe brushes. and the
smallest kid of the lot was awarded the
prize, a suspicious-looking nickel after
he had. unperceived. rubbed his brush
across the inside Of the barrel. thereby ac-
cumuIating more -four on it than any other
brush could show The meeting then ad-
journed sine die.

The Quebec conference is ended, but
this does not mean that the work of the
joint. commission is done. There will be
resumption of the sessions in this city,
when some Of the questions still unde-
acided will be considered The action OF
these commissioners is not final, and there
are indications that the much-protected
manufacturers OF both countries will at
tempt to have the agreements modified.
Having been pampered and favored above
all others so long, this class becomes an
obstacle in the way of a thoroughly just
relationship between the States and
Canada. Everybody else must suffer for
their benefit.

The Indian Situation.

1t is still to be determined whether
the Indian uprising will include more
than the PilIagers, who are already on
the warpath, but who. in spite of the
daring of their first attack. have be-
come fearful of the bluecoats. Inevita-
bly, at such a time the alarm of the
whites is exaggerated, and there are ru-
mors Of dissatisfaction and probable
outbreak on the part of other red men.
The fact that any of them should carry
their anger to the point of actual resist
ance to regulars is some warrant for
suspicion that others may join them.
If is evident now that if as large
body of troops a could be gathered had
been sent to the neighborhood of the
hostilities the intimidation of the Indi-
ans would have been immediate and
effective. The idea OF a fight did not
occur to General Bacon when he took
his small force. where it could be am
bushed by the Pillagers. Now that the
hostiles are convinced of the presence
of greater number of regulars they
are not disposed to assume the aggres-
sive, but will merely attempt to pro-
tect the members of the tribe demanded
by the sheriff.
The whites appear to put little con-
fidence in the professions of peace made
by the other Chippewas, who are sup
posed to be in sympathy with the hos
tiles; and while it looks as though the
trouble will be confined to those already
involved it would be rash to relax any
vigilance. The fact that the lumber
men, who have every inducement to
stay in the woods, are coming out
shows that they do not trust the assur-
ances of peace from the rest of the
Chippewas.
