May BE Long Drawn Out.
The present war, then. must be a
long drawn out affair unless media
ton intervenes And here the question
arises as to whether it is worth Italy,
while for expenditure of men and
money must be out of all proportion
to the stake
Tripoli is Il country that has never

Tripoi is essentially an agricultural
pastoral land. and the products of farm
and orchard have never amounted to
much There are no manufactures, eX
cept small trade in carpets and silks
and cordovan leather.
Behind the coasts of the province of
Tripoli proper mountain ranges mark

mostly barren soil. few more than
a million hostile. unruly men of a diff

and exports?
The revenues of the Turkish govern
ment from this province have never
amounted to sum sufficient TO repay
the expenses of administration. The
sum of 100000 year out of the reve-
nue. of considerably less than SS00.000
has been expended Cd the military gar

Perhaps Italy hopes to reclaim the
desert lands and eolonize it with her

plans for enormous irrigation works

John Brenckinridge Speed is present

iHis uncle, Joshua Speed, a prominent
merchant Of Louisville. was an ardent
advocate of the election of Abraham
Lincoln. for in their youth he and Mr.
Lincoln were intimate friends.
John r. Speed is the son of James
Speed, . lawyer and publicist of Ken
lucky, who is credited by some histo-
rians with preventing the Blue Grass
State from entering the Southern Con-
