Eleventh, Monroe and Fifth streets and
Trenton Place Friday, decided that one
Legislature cannot pass a law which will
bind another Legislature, In regard 10

Any Suggestions as to His Conduct.

Washington, July Alt can be stated
positively that no representations have
yet been made to the German govern
ment respecting the actions of the German
naval commanders in the Philippines.
1t is the opinion of officials of the State
Department that Admiral Dewey has so
conducted himself in dealing with the
foreign men-of-war in the Philippines, as
to leave no room for suggestion or repre-
sentation on the part of the State Depart
ment, and SO long as this state of sffairs
continues, it is not likely that there will
be any interference with this able officer.

The Indian war i'm Minnesota has
cost the lives of Major Wilkinson, a
sergeant and five or six troopers, be-
sides a number of wounded. OF course
if force enough were sent these Indi-
ans could be easily crushed, but the
United States, like most civilized ma
tons, dispises savages and usually de-
ponds entirely on the courage of a
few men and a superiority in arms
and discipline. Fortunately there has
been no serious disaster in Minneso-
ia, but how the little fight will be
magnified in the Spanish papers.

UNHAPPY FRANCE.

With Paris in the condition of an
armed camp, with sine fifty or sixty
thousand men on strike, who will very
shortly become hungry and begin to
loot the bakers shops, and also with
the army ready to sympathize with
the strikers, the French government
has somewhat difficult problem to
solve. There will be crash some
where within a very short time. All
the elements of a revolution are get
ting ready. After that the chances
are there will be a military despotism.
Stable government, except in fits and
starts, has been unknown in France
for over a century.
Starting from the empire of the
First Napoleon, that went down with
a crash in 1915. Charles Y went out
with a revolution in the thirties;
Louis Philippe with another revolu-
ton in the late forties, when thrones
were rocking all over Europe; Napo-
leon the Third lasted nearly twenty
years, and went under in the early
seventies, his defeat by the Germans
mune. Since then there has been a
republic, but it has gradually been
resolving itself into a military des-
potism. which may in turn give mon
archy or empire. 1t is a curious his
tory that France has had through the
century and evidently she is prepar-
ing to give us one more lurid picture
before the absolute close.

credit as soldiers and a credit as
American citizens.
We are often charged with taking
life too seriously and with consider
ing things which, in other places are
regarded as venial, as very serious
crimes, that is we often magnify the
offense. This comes of our insularity
no doubt. But we need not visit the
sins of few, however serious we may
think them, upon the whole, and
when Thanksgiving comes round we
should be willing to let the soldier,
who is away from home ties and
from those whom he loves, share in
our thankfulness for a good year and
the many mercies which have been
vouchsafed to us, and we should if
possible give him glimpse of that
home life which is as pure and as
bright here as ever it is in the homes
of the mainland.
