A DREAM OF EMPIRE.

Whether it is to be M. Lebaudy,
philanthropist, or NJ Lebaudy, ruler.
only those who know intimately the
young French millionaire who is cast
ing his eyes longingly on the North
west African coast may safely assert,
but that the Frenchman is INDUCING in
dream that has disturbed all man
kind ever since the known world began
to seem a trfffe crowded, nobody will
doubt. Sometimes this dream takes
the form of a Utopia where not the
theory of the greatest good to the
greatest number but the theory of the
greatest good to all is to be praeticed
for the edification of the world. If
the dreamer is not transcendentalist,
then a vision of absolute power far
more gratifying than the dream of
paradise which entrances the Moham-
medan is his
But unfortunately for NJ. Lebaudy
and his plans, those dreams seem never
to materialize. Should M. Lebaudy be
successful in starting his negro en-
pire in Northwestern Africa, it would
| not mean that his vision had been
realized. 1t would mean that one more
person had, by actual experience, been
| that dreams are made of is not the stuff
| out of which Utopias and empires are
| built. Unless all who dwell in Utopia
| are Utopians, it is not Utopia. 1t is
| something entirely different; some
! thing very much more unsatisfactory
| than an primary country, for ideals are
| the gods of Utopia and all who are not
| Utopians are iconoclasts.
| AS for the dream of absolute power,
| emperors born to the purple are find
| ing it no easy task to rule their peo-
pie. So uneasy lies the head of the
| man who wears a crown today that
! the acceptance of the scepter is be-
! ginning to be regarded as an act of
| heroism. Perhaps NJ. Lebaudy intends
| looks upon himself as a latter day
Moses who would lead these black
children of Egypt into promised land.
But only those who are not enjoying
| the fieshpots today will go, and those
| are the ones who would not make a
| Utopia, who would not even constitute
an empire over which it should be safe
| to rule.
| 1t is said that M. Lebaudy relies on
| the powers. He should look to Turkey.
The powers are practical rather than
Utopian. They protect lord of mis-
| rule, and they are quite as apt to
crush a Utopia. 1t all depends in what
direction their interests lie. M. Lee
baudy might be monarch of all he sur
veyed for day or even for a month,
but at the end of the month he would
| probably be ready to say with Alex
ander Selkirk, whose experience, how
| ever. cannot be said to be Identical
with that which M. Lebaudy intends
to court, Better dwell in the midst of
| alarms than live in this horrible place"

Hard Travelling for Mr.. Cleveland.

PRINCETO n. j., Oct. LEX
President Grover Cleveland arrived
here on his private car this morning
after a tedious journey of thirty six
hours from Buffalo. He left Buffalo
Friday night after the funeral Of ex-
Postmaster General w. S. BisseII and
was expected here Saturday morning,
but the congested traffic caused by the
floods delayed the train twenty four
hours. This evening Mr.. Cleveland
said:
THE trip was exceedingly tiresome
but felt resigned to my fate and knew
that the delay was inevitable. All L
suffered was inconvenience"
Mr.. Cleveland will rest here only a
short time, as he leaves Tuesday to
deliver a speech at Chicago before the
Commercial club.

BURLINGTON, N. J., Oct. 11.-This
town Is suffering from the worst flood
of its history, approximately four
fifths Of the place being under water,
caused by the tremendous flood in the
river. The highest point of the town Is
only three feet above the flood in some
Of the streets and the river is still
rising. The southern section of the
town is flooded to a depth Of two to
six feet and much Of the surrounding
country is also under water. In East
Burlington so per cent of the houses
are inundated. Many families are In
want of food, and this afternoon the
mayor and chief of police made tour
OF some Of the streets in a batteau and
furnished food to those in need. The
town is entirely cut off from COM
munication, except by telegraph and
telephone, and unless the water recedes
soon there will be a general scarcity of
food. No trains are running on the
Camden & Amboy division Of the Penn
Sylvania railroad. The water is rushing
down the main street so rapidly that
people are having a difficult time of it,
Some buildings have become under
