Re-elected Senator from Connecticut.
Joseph Roswell Hawley, who has just been
re-elected senator from Connecticut, bus been
often mentioned as a presidential possibility,
Ilis friends base his claim for such honor on
his long public service, Which begun back in
1850, and his party points with pride to the '
fact that bo was never a Democrat or Whig.
He began in politics as a Free Boiler, writing
for Tho Republican, a Free Soil paper later
merged into 'iho Press, which he afterward
ovme( j and run as the organ of the Republb

ent Hartford Courant, which he still owns.

Hamilton college, New York. Immediately
after leaving lolegc ho began tho study of

was a delegate to tho national Free Soil con¬

every succeeding national convention of that

FRANCE AND GERMANY.
SI26 OF THEIFi RESPECTIVE ARMIES
ON A PEACE FOOTING.
The Army tof France Greater Than That
of Germany by Nearly 50,000—Warlike
Preparations on the Part of Both Na-
tioin^Bismarck’t Speech.
Those who read the war sky of Europe ftvet
that there ara clouds and storms ahead. Be*
fore „ many months, they say, there will , be
mitsic in the air. The speech of Bismarck to
the reichstag has called attention anew to
the subject. The equilibrium of Europe is so
tense that a slight blow at almost any point
would shatter it to fragments,
Ifc is expected that the fragile fabric will
crack along the line between Franco and Ger-
many. When Bismarck aslcs for additions to
the army Germany means war, the prophets
say. They recall that Bismarck made the
same sort of speech in the spring of 1SGG, and
iu June of that year took place the battle of
Sadowa, in w’hich Germany decisively
whipped Austria. Again, in the spriug of
ISTO, ho called attention to the need for
strengthening the imperial army. Sept. 2 of
that year Napoleon III and an army of CO,000
surrendered to the Prussians at Sedan. It is
France again that Bismarck is driving at now.
Years cannot Wipe out the wrath and
shame of France over her defeat by Ger¬
many. Around the beautiful Place de la
Concorde iu Paris are placed statues repre-
senting the principal cities of the departments
of France as they were before Sedan. Among
them Is Strasbourg, in the lost provinco of
Alsace. Ever since 1871 the statue has been
hung with those ugly black and white bead
funeral wreaths so common in Europe,
Every year, on tho anniversary of the taking
of the Bastilo, French boys are taken to the
funeral statue and vowed to vengeance for
the loss of the city.
‘ P >or Strasbourg I” the Parisians say, “we
lost her, but we will get her back.”

This map pg shows tho provinces that France
lost 8sio in It , 3 no secret tbnt
neither France nor Germany believes that
Sedan was the end of the tussle, Germany
insists that she wants peace, and would prob-
ably keep it if France would let her. But
France has been breathing fire and vengeance
ever since ’70, and Germany has been
strengthening Alsaee-Lorraine her fortifications along the
frontier. Exceeding care is
taken that no French soldier, artist or spy
shall get inside these works and by any
means get a sketch of them for the Paris
government.
As to France. France has been steadily in-
creasing her army ever since Sedan. War
credits are voted year by year, and small
fights in Africa and elsewhere Men* to be en-
couraged rather thdn otherwise, fa order that
the French sol,liers mi Sbt keep their Hand in.
France has made no bond about the ite
creased size and efficiency of her army. A
member of the cabinet recently said in ses-
sion of the senate that, if it came to tbe test.
it would be found that “no time had been
wasted in the last fifteen years” by tho mili-
tar 3'< The past year France has spent more
than $17,000,000 on her army and defenses.
Ballooning, torpedo experimenting and sea
fitting, oYensive and defensive, have occu-
pied closely the attention of the government.
It was France that made the military balloon
effective. “Un ballon captif* was among tho
features of French military operations in the
Chinese war. Its highest efficiency has only
been reached since the Franco-Pnissian war.
A glance at the diagram given herewith
will show the comparative, size of the armies
of France and Germany. Tho figures show
the two armies on a peace footing—-pied de
paix.” Tho peace footing of tho armies of
Ettvope means that they arc like two dogs
held back in leash, waiting to fly at each
other’s throats. America is lucky to bo sep-
arated by an ocean 8,000 miles wide from Eu-
rope wi;h her armies on a peace footing.
The diagram will show that in every
branch of military service except infantry,
the army of France is greater than that of
German v. This Bi march and Von Mol ke
knew w 'eU when they urged the legislative
bodv of the empire to increase the German
army .
“France,” said Bismarck, “is a strong and
weU armed power, her army is brave and
rea lv to fight”

Lt, who is now lying in the Cook county jail

charge of murder. The infatuation of Miss
Nina Van Zandt for him and her determina-

“Good morning” to the visitor, and ere long
the whole gathering was talking about tbe
value of boxing as a means of exercise. The
general took one of the gloves the professor
held out, tried it on; then took tho other, put
it on, and began looking first at one hand,
then at the other. The professor volunteered
to show him some of the rudiments of the art,
just to whilo away a few minutes, and the
offer was accepted.
Few men over had a better opinion of their
own strength and powers of endurance than
did Gen. Logan. When, after he had become
a little too venturesome in his tactics, the
athletic pugilist by a body blow sent him
sprawling, his pride was somewhat disturbed.
He vowed to learn something of tho science
possessed by Lis antagonist, and then with
his own great strength as an auxiliary he
conceived lie would bo a match for most any
^teur. The ruse was successful. Mrs.
Logan was rejoiced to see her hfisbnnd week
a fter week receive visits from the professor,
who in due time made an accomplished l»oxer
of him, and, when an opportunity Offered
ever alter, he sought to gratify his desire for
the pleqsant and invigorating exercise.-*
