PRACTICAL POLITICS

Would Like 10 Form a Coalition
Against Great Britain, United
States and Russia.

copyrighted, ie99 BY the Associated Prcga
London, July 29.-The Natioual Re-
view, In an article discussing the proba-
bility Of an alliance between France and
Germany against England has reached
the conclusion that such move is with
in the bounds Of practical politics The
writer points out that Germanys future
expansion must be colonial aud France
has similar interests IN thia respect
Both Frame aud Germany arc some
what barred by England's widespread
holdings The common belief that Eng
land Is the enemy Of every power with
colonial or maritime ambitions, the
writer asserts, supplies both Frenchmen
and Germans with argument IN support
Of union. Emperor William argued
acting upon the superstition that how
ever much France dislikes Germany she
must dislike England more after the
Fashoda incident The emperor dreams
Of forming a coalition of the central and
western powers OF the continent, 70 be
used firstly. against England. secondly,
against the United States, and finally
against Russia, though at the COM
meucement the latter power viii be in
the German fire The National Review
writer finds IN these dreams an explana'
ton Of the hitherto almost inexplicable
policy Of the German emperor toward
the United States
The article continues:
The reason for Emperor William
seeming desire 10 unnecessarily quarrel
with state Of such gigantic strength.
he wished TO assume the position Of
champion Of Europe against the trans
marine powers"
The article says further:
TO tho continent before 1893, tn,
United States appeared as huge, drow
~ monster Of spent energy. with rarl
moments Of wakefulness, nibbling n
the lions tail No one objected mucl
10 this. but when the huge beast shool
itself and planted one paw upon th
Spanish West Indies and another upO
the Philippines it became an object O
real terror 10 the European statemer
who did not known whom il might a
tack next The conditions We're all Oh
more unnerying when England refuse
To walk into the trap aud turn her nav
against the United States. So the even
Of 1898 only served 10 bring these tv

His Opinion of the Wood.

Not far from Southern town n
mean white man had been missing his
hrewood from a pile that had been
sawed into three-foot lengths. In or
der to discover which way his wood
was going this mean man bored an
anger hole six or eight inches deep in
one end OF piece of wood and filled
the hole with powder then plugged il
with tightfittng peg and rubbed
some mud on the place with intent to
deceive.
The night following the day on which
that piece of wood was missed there
was Il dance ut negro cabin hard by.
when the dance was ut it's height the

of the jewellers were blown out of

Altogether the disturbance was unseen.

only person present who seemed to
have maintained his mental and physi-
cal equilibrium was the owner of the
cabin. who remarked after the smoke
and dust had cleared some:
