The active command of the United
States army changed Saturday due to the
retirement of Lieut.. Gen. Young who had
reached the age of GA, and the promotion
of Major Gen. Chaffee to be lieutenant
general and chief of staff. Gen Young
succeeded Gen. Miles at the head of the
army only five months ago, and his
EFFORTS have been devoted mainly to
bringing order out of the confusion re-
sulting from the change of staff system.
Gen. Chalfee entered the regular army
as private in 1861 and has never held a
volunteer commission except in the war
against Spain, and his most conspicuous
service in recent years was rendered as
commander OF the army in the Philippines.

Waldeck,Rousseau, the great French
politician \ ahdN hater of verything
clericals is dead. Like all the other
prosecutors of the church he has gone
to pay, his reckoning. with God, says
the Providence Visitor. What his last
thoughts We're is not recorded in the
papers which laud him as a hero and
defender Of republican form Of govern
ment. But it is safe to say that the
premier did not die with the calm and
sweetness Of saint. There were
many things to trouble the last mo-
ments of the patriot. There was his
remuneration of God. There was, also,
his hatred of those whom God had
marked with special prediction. The
persecution of priests, the repatriation
of religious, the confscation of church
the revival of revolutionary
measures, the spread of socialistic
doctrines, the teaching of disobedience
to lawful authority and the efforts to
precipitate France into another civil
war by fostering enmity and contempt
for superiors in the army and navy, all
these must have passed in rapid sue
cession for Mr.. Rousseau's contem-
plation, while the dew Of death was
settling on his brow. The press
speaks of him as a brilliant lawyer,
honest politician, inspiring orator, and
second only to Gambetta in states
manship. Perhaps he was. But we
wonder if it was all worth the while.

The outside world knows very little
about the so-called political. mission
sent by Great Britain into Thibet, says
the st. Paul Globe. 1t counts for as
little in news dispatches and in our
daily survey of world affairs as did
the intrigues and encroachments in
South Africa preceding the Jameson
raid. Yet it is as full Of significance.
TIL esame greedy hand that was
stretched out to crush South African
republics out Of existence is reaching
over the silent land of interior Asia.
Great Britain is simply taking advan-
tage Of the immersion Of Russia in a
desperate war. For decades these two
powers have been watching each other,
each ready for spring should it's op-
ponent be anywhere crippled. Eng
lands opportunity was found in the
absorption Of Russia in her desperate
fight with Japan, and instantly she ex-
tends the sphere of her influence north
ward. Tibet will presently be no long
er the remote, inaccessible realm of
mystery and philosophic speculation.
The same greed that has annexed so
much of the earth will conquer it also.
Great Britain has taken lesson in
method from her opponent, and seeks
only to establish an understanding at
Lhassa, just as Russia did ut Seoul.
The motive is the same in both cases.
Under the veneer Of civilization and
the thin pretense Of interna tional law,
the lust of power and the greed Of
domain is about as strong us it ever
was among those who claim to be the
master nations of the earth.
