AMERICA IN THE PACIFIC.

Some curious comments upon American poiicy
in the Pacific appear in the European press re-
Winding US in their luminous appreciation OF
the case Of that European statesman VINO III
1861 expressed the opinion that secession would
prove successful and the United States be per-
manentIy divided, because, be said. the lsthmuS
of Panama formed a natural line OF demarca-
ton between the Northern and Southern States
and there was no use in fighting against nat
ure!
Here for example. is the ancient and honora-
BILE .Vossische Zeitung. Of Berlin. graveiy de-
clarng that other powers possess more ancient
rights IN the Pacific than America, which lat

through the annexation Of the Philippines. One
wonders what history. or what geography is

California and Oregon and Alaska never been
heard OF there? Or are they supposed TO front

trade with China, and of our occupation OF
many cuano islands in the Pacific all sealed

The fact is that America is one OF the oldest
of Pacific powers, far antedating France III

cism. How common it is to see men Of in
teIIisence business men. take no part

of good government with the easy remark
that one set of officials is as good as an
other. A smart young man says they are all
in Office for selfish purposes of one sort or an
other He doesn't like people who are better
than their neighbors. Honest politics is all

THE NEW RIFLE.

Exhaustive experiments and thorough nrlns

PROVISIONS OF the new militia reorganization

Tammany: Have we for years bad corrupt
government here merely l.ecause the so-caIled
ignorant. vicious and criminal classes were
able TO outvote persons of respectable position
in the community? We think not. Undoubt-
edly those classes contribute largely TO the
-Tammany vote. but if Tammany had TO place
its dependence on them it would be as help
less as the Malta or the Gamma Gael so far as
ruling this city goes The true strength of
Tammany is IN the hrownstone houses and
comfortable apartments. not in the tenement
houses.
Tammany has allies of power among the
highly respectable gentlemen managing corpo-
rations Ia need of favors, who would not think
