COMBINATIONS AGAINST AMERICA

We reproduce in another column an ar
ticle from the London Spectator on
America and the Continent which de-
serves the most careful consideration OF
the American people. It IS not the out
giving of an alarmist, but of a thoughtful
man who sees the situation as it is and
in plain word gives his conclusions. The>
article is in review of another article from
the Listonk of Odessa. translated in the
London Times of May 18th. The Lis
took says the Spectator, Actually
speaks of combination of Europe 10 re-
sist the Americans in China alone, and
every newt assertion by Washington of its
right to protect its interests everywhere
deepens the latent hostility But the
Spectator makes the significant comment
that this combination against America
does not include Great Britain, fer her
interest is identical with that of America.
1.-The disturbance Of the European gov
ernments.' continues the Spectator. lis
increased by two causes of which Ameri-
cans are naturally only partially aware.
One is the newness of the American in
trusion into worldwide politics. -
The second is that the professional diplo-
matists of the Continent hate the repre-
sena tives of the Union and would like any
opportunity of giving them a sharp set
down."
No nation Eveth unto itself. Whether
we would or would not, we have become
involved in the great affairs Of the world,
and we will hereafter play an important
part in international politics. We have
great interests abroad which must be
looked after, and these interests are
growing all the time. Whether or not
there be any combination in continental
Europe against America we do not know,
but in the very nature Of the case, as the
Spectator points out, the interests Of the
United States and those of Great Britain
are identical and of necessity these two
great nations must stand together. Yet,
strange to say, there are many people in
this country, some of them leading politi-
clans, who never lose any occasion to say
something unkind about the English. and
if they had had their way long ago, we had
been involved in serious difficulties with
our greatest and only reliable friend
abroad

STOPPED HIM FROM SHOOTING
His mother prevented him from shooting
one Of tile police officers when attempting
entrance, by snatching the gun from his
hand. The negro was conveyed TO the
First Police Station, where he was locked
up awaiting trial.
Woodfork is a very desperate character,
and had the crowd gotten mold of him it is
hard to tell what would have been the
result. The crowd increased rapidly and
by the time the chase was half over it
seemed as though all the East-End had
Hooked to the scene. In the twinkling OF
an eye, after the firing OF the shots pis
tolls were flashed at fully fifty different
places. and number OF muskets We're

too fast for the use of weapons, the crowd
would undoubtedly have fired at the
