The slpceh delivered by Lord Sails
bury, at the Lord Mayors banquet, in
London, last Friday, was unusual in
many res poets. His note of rejoicing
over the reelection of President Nc
Kinley in this country may be passed
over as comparatively unimportant,
although evidence Of the close con-
tact between the two countries during
the past two or three years. Other
features of his, speech are of more sig
nifcance. For instance, he said, re-
ferring to criticisms of the conduct of
the war in South Africa:
Despite neb alous and fictitious at
tacks we should be glad to improve all
the defects of The War Office and our
utmost efforts will be devoted to that
task; but l should rather deprecate
any unnecessary examination into what
has occurred. You will not add to the
enthusiasm of your troops by SO do
ing"
This was a confession of Importance.
emny warning, evidently relating to
fear of war with France, prefacing it
with he adniss ION that the trend of
recent events has almost put an end to
the hopes of the Russian Emperor and
others WHO took part in the Peace Con-
ference at Tie Hague. His extraordi-
nary speech closed with a fervid ap-
peal to the people of England to main
tain their efenses in such a perfect
condition that I'VE shall not be exposed
to any sudden interruption of the
peace upon which our prosperity de-
pends." And while in this vein he
said:
THE supreme condition, is that no
reform, no improvement is of the
slightest value unless security against
external interference is obtained by
putting our defelses in such a position
that no accident may happen beyond
our border that shall make our secur-
ity doubtful"
This rather startling warning ere
ated a profound impression upon the
immediate hearers of the speaker, and
has been reflected throughout the Eng
lish nation, where the fear prevails
generally that England is on the verge
of becoming embroiled in more serious
complications than any she has cxpe-
rienced since the days of the Crimean
campaign. salisbury evidently took
advantage OF an opportunity to pre-
pare the English mind, In some de-
gree, for what is coming. War be-
tween England and France may break
out at any time. Both countries zeal
ize this, and both have been preparing
for it.

THE COMING OLE KRUGER.

The. people Of Southern France are
making tremendous preparations 10
give a magnificent reception TO Pcesi-
dent Dom Paul Kruger, who is timed
to arrive at Marseilles on the Nth
inst.-next Saturday. Paris kilograms
say that millions Of Frenchmeu will
be present, and that the popular dis
play of sympathy with the great South
African will be something not before
exceeded in any country in cen
fury.
This tribute has two-fold meaning
1t is about one-half due to sincere ad-
miration for the venerable Dutch Pres
ident, and one-half due to French ami
mostly to England. Between the two
high honors will be paid to the grand
old man who is on his way TO Europe
to make last appeal to the powers
pie. The object of his visit will prob
ably fail so far as interference by any
government is concerned. but it will
be a gigantic success from popular
point of view. Taking the civilized
world over, two men out OF every three
sympathize at heart with the Beers
and their cause, and one-half of man
kind would assist them if it were pos
sible, and this from the knowledge that
the war on the part of England was
one undertaken purely for conquest
and selfish ends. France will amply
demonstrate the correctness OF thi.
view within a week. and the people o.
Germany and Holland will be equally
enthusiastic.
The French government has taker
such measures as are possible, to pre-
vent the undue offending of England
Orders have been issued that no ban
ners or devices to which the lSnglisi
government could take proper excep
ton shall be displayed. and Presiden
Loubet and his Cabinet have decide,
to- receive Mr.. Kruger as ruler trav
cling incognito, which means there vii
be no display of troops and no forma
governmental receptions or ceremon
ies. This is simply official regard for
neighboring power, but the people will
do more than the government coul
possibly do to show their friendliness

WILL NOT BE POPULAR.

The determination of the Republican
bosses Of New York State to pass bill
at the coming session of the Legisla-
ture removing the police force Of Great
er New York from local control.
through a State Constabulary Act, will
not be approved of by majority of the
people of city; State or nation. because
it is a step in the direction of centra!i-
cation of power in the hands of few
people as against the wishes of the
many. Greater New York is the sec
ulation and wealth, and its people are
surely entitled to control their own local
affairs. But because a majority of its
citizens happen to be Democrats Sena-
tor Plat and his lieutenants are de-
termined to take away from these peo-
pie the management of their police, and
put the force under State control ac-
cording to the provisions of a bill to
be drafted by partisan leaders, and
passed under the lash by members of
the Assembly from such counties as
Clinton, and Franklin, and Lawrence,
and Jefferson, and Lewis, and Chau-
tauqua, and Oswego; some of whom pos
sibly never saw New York City, and
all of whom know little or nothing
about her local needs or conditions.
1t is as though, having Democratic
city government in Wheeling, Re-
publican Legislature, by the votes of
members from Wyoming, and Mingo,
and Mcdowell, and Mercer, and Clay,
and Grant, and Preston, and Tucker
and Upshur, should pass bill appoint
ing State constabulary for our COM
munity, and have the members of the
police force named by Committee
coming from the four corners of the
State. Our people would resent that,
without regard to political opinion, by
majority of thousands-and yet that
is exactly what is proposed for the
metropolis by the Republican managers
in the State of New York. If they pass
that law, as they say they will, they
will live to regret it.

of them, the consciousness that we
