DIFFLUENT CONQUESTS.
Again the uows from far-off western
Asia presages war between two na
tions that never yet met on au open
battle ISelti- England and Russia.
KuHsia'fe conquest bave ever been
followed by repression and tardy de
velopment. England's bave always
been those of progress. Her policy
has been colonial; that of Kussia
one solely of aggrandizement.
By way of contract it is worth
while to note the difference that the
different kinds of conquest pursued
by England and the "United States
have had on their respective policies.
Both countries being inhabited prin
cipally by people of the same racial
instincts, delight in contest and vic
tory, in the acquisitio i of new lands.
But the blood-bought possessions of
Britain are constant incentives to
war, constaut and standing menaces
of the peace of the world. "With us
the converse is prec sely the case.
The war of the rebellion is so dis
tinctly sui generis that it is not re
ferred to here any moro than in speak
ing of the wars of England reference
is had to Oromwellian civil war or the
wars of the roses. In adding to its
possessions, gathering in the ripe and
luscious fruit that used to grow for
the benefit of the Mexica ns, in add
ing Texas and all the wide stretch of
states and territories west to the Pa
cific ocean, America has brought in
no element of danger. On the con
trary, the very homogeneity of
the vast dominion of TJnclo
Sam, with no powerful neighbor near,
either on the east or west, except the
two oceans, and with his hives of in
dustry inlaud, far from the possible
reach of foreign attack, the American
can regard all the wars of all the
world with an equanimity born of
the certain knowledge that they need
not disturb him, that they threaten
none of his peace or property, but
that they may make trade good for
him, enrich him, and only hurt his
possible enemies. Thus, here, there
is a tendency to conservatism, while
at tho same time there are memories
of recent prowess that command re
spectful consideration of other na
tions. But as we have seen, tho British,
a distinctly colonial eaipire, is always
being tempted or driven into broils.
War is a necessity of her existence;
to knov that some other European
nation could successfully contend
with her on the ocean -uould be to be
able to predict her doom. One of her
poets gave voice to this sentiment
when he wrote a grand national lyr
ic. Said be:
For Ea 'hind's sun would bet in bbarce,
Ai.u d rk Lit r fate would be,
Should e'er her vaunting foc-8 proclaim
Tne eiupue of the sen.
Pdlxnerstou knew it, and, by con
vincing the world that he was ready
to filit. m uulaiued a long period of
pea;'. Bt ac iUbficbl knew it. and
ma iw tt"et tie uMrutneui by
wh cb 1m became the practical dicta
tor of t lie peace of 7S, compelling
evan the huuiity Bismnrck to bend
to his wi!!. ViMt thd org juized na
tion might do can only be conjec
tured. Within the last few years the
political power has entirely passed
from the hands of tboso who once mo
nopolized it. Except for matters of
mere form and nomenclature, En
gland to day is as completely demo
cratic as this oountry. It will be a
subject of deep interest to observe
ho v tho now governors of tho ancient
king lorn will guide matters after the
election of the next parliament.
Since the government has been or
ganized there havo been only thirty
four persons named in resolutions of
thanks by congress. With three ex
ceptions this honor has only been
paid to officers for great gallantry in
action during war. Tho three excep
tions were those of Capt. Ingraham,
Capt Ringgold and Capt Dahlgren.
In tho first case Oapt iDgraham
cleared his ship for action and res
cued at the cannon's mouth an Ameri
can citizen named Martin Koazta
from illegal seizure and imprison
ment on board the Austrian war-brig
Hussar. Capt. Binggold was hon
ored for his daring and skill in res
cuing the crow of the steam transport
Governor, wrecked in a galo on the
1st of November, 1861, having on
board a battalion of United States
marines, aud also for the search and
rescuo of the battle-skip Vermont,
which was disabled in a gale on the
26th of February, 1861, The third,
Oapt D.ihlgren, was thanked for his
improvements in gunnery. This hon
or gives the recipient the right tn the
floors of congress at any and all
times.
Infobmation has been received at
Cairo th it the Arabs in possession of
Berber have rebelled against El
JMftbdi.
UNCLE SAM ON DECK.
TiiEtioicondoca panorama now be
ing unrolled across the sea, with
draws attention from other matters
that merit cemment:
"Were there no probabilities of war
between England and Bussia, tho no
tion of our own government in this
eventful month of April, would claim
world-wide attention. For Uncle
Sam is on deck.
One of the usual disturbances in
tropical America resulted in the
threatening by insurgents of Ameri
can interests on the isthmus of
Panama. "United States troops were
promptly landed at As pin wall, the in
surrection was suppressed, and the
general authority of the United
States made felt in that region.
Though Great Britain has the Olay-ton-Bulwer
treaty; thongh France is
busy with he1 canal, yet no protest
has been received from either France
or England; one reason probably be
ing that they have both their hands
full just now; and that in any event
they feel that what our government
has done in the matter is the proper
thing to do.
The American eagl? soars and the
scream of that proud bird has been
heard in the jungles of Panama.
But while the government in tak
ing the action it did, has done noth
ing but what every citizen will en
dorse and approve, the fact must not
be overlooked that what has been
done at Aspinwall by the United
States has been done in direct oppo
sition to the Clayton-Bnlwer treaty,
by which our government rashly
bound itself to not assume any exclu
sive jurisdiction. Tho only plea for
extenuation can be that "necessity
knowB no law,' and that prompt ac
tion was necessary.
And further it is evident that if oc
casion arose to-morrow an 3 necessity
required it, the United States would
take and hold that whole region and
would be backed by universal public
opinion. In this connection it is in
teresting to note that the administra
tion in its prompt and commendable
action in the Panama matter has ex
actly followed the course outlined by
Blaine when secretary of state.
The French minister of the inte
rior disposes annually of $100,000 of
secret service money, and is not re
quired to account for the disburse
ment of a single franc. In theory,
he is indeed responsible to the presi
dent of the republic for the use he
makes of the money, and he sends
him in a report every year, which,
however, is practically limited to the
declaration that it was spent in the
way in which it was meant to bo
spent No details or vouchers accom
pany Ihe report, which is thus the
merest formality. The emperor exer
cised a real control over this fund;
but the existing constitution gives
the president.no such power, and the
minister is free to dispose of, at all
events, one-half of it precisely as he
chooses. A special ai;eut of tho czar of Bus
sia lias been visiting San Francisco,
and is now on his way to Alaska upon
amission connected with tho relations
between the Alaska commercial com
pany and tho Rnssian fjovernment.
It appears that in 1870 th& fur mo
nopoly, not content with the posses
sions held under contract with the
United States, secured a twenty years
lease of tho Behring and other islands
from Bussia. A strong opposition
party has sprung up in St Petersburg
against renewing tho lease which
grants the company tho right to kill
40,000 seals per annum, and the czar
has appointed a commissioner to in
vestigate the matter.
Sentiment is being quietly worked
up in favor of an extra session of tho
legislature and it is hinted that if
Gov. Moody thought it would bo a
popular idea he would call a special
session. It is questionable if a spe
cial session wore called would ''the
intelligent majority" h:ve sense
enough to elect a senator without
getting into a catfight over it as they
did last February.
Cleveland says of his cabinet: "I
hopo to havo the same honor that Pres
ident Pierce enjoyed at tho end of his
term of office, that of retiring to pri
vate life and parting company with
seven gentlemen who through the
entire ur years had helped to make
the yoke of presidential life less of
a burden to bear."
G idb altar is thus mentioned in all
Spanish official decuments: "Our
moat loyal and noble city of Gibral
tar, in the Oampo of Gibraltar, the
city of Gibraltar being in the tempo
rary occupation of the British."
"It is said" that Villard is trying
to fix up a transfer of the Oregon and
California railroad to the Central
Pacific company.
Few towns in England under 20,
000 inhabitants can boast of a daily
nswspaper.
Is Great Britain 10,000 landlord,
for doing nothing, roceive from tho
soil moro than twice as much as the
total wages paid to 800,000 laborers
for working twelvo honra through
the soven days in every week.
Ak Englishman traveling in this
oountry expresses surprise "at Ameri
cans calling a wash hand jug a pitch
er." It isn't near as surprising a3 to
find an intelligent man calling a
pitcher "a wash hand jng."
