to engage in raising wheat on a
larger scale than they have ever
done before. The LaFayette,

SITUATION IN
Ffenchmen are not now So
passionately wrought Up with
England over Fashodathat they
cannot listen and profit and gh e
heed to such sober counsel as
that of M. Paul de Cassajnac,
wno writes in L’ Autorite: -
“How could we make a stand
against England in case of war?
She possesses means of gripping
us everywhere —in our colonies
and in our naval cities along
our open coasts —wlnreas we
eannot lay our hands on her
anywhere. She would make
short work of our fleet. War
with England would put us in
the position of Spain towards
America. We should fight hero
ically, but we should be beaten.
“Later on we should have to
pay the bill with Algeria or In
do-China.
“Therefore it is materially
and morally forbidden to think
of war. This would be madness,
blindness. Nobody goes to cer
tain disaster with his eyes open.
“There still remains the oth
er alternative —to beat a retreat,
and we shall not escape. It is
not the evacuation of Fushoda
that constitutes our Joss. The
Republic having already com
mitted the irreparable blunder
of coldly abandoning Egypt to
England, it ill become# her to
day to quibble about this or that
portion of the Nile Valley,which
in reality would be u#eles# to
us.”
Every sober Frenchman
knows that this is common
sense and M. Cassagnac is not
alone, by any means, in thus
spe k frankly and soberly.
Thu L . "iecle, in urging peace,
remarks :
“France would hardly oome
off better in a war with England
than did Spain in the war with
the United States. France would
be better employed in develop
ing her colonies than in thwart
ing England.”
In all thia is the assurance of
peace.
WINNIE DAVIS’ WILL.
The will of Miss Winnie
Davis, which has just been ad
mitted to probate in New Or
leans, is a true index to her
character:
'‘l give and bequeath to my
beloved mother, Varina Howell
Jefferson Davis, everything I
have, both real and psr# nal
property, and any returns that
moy come from my literary
work, any stocks, bond# or
moneys of which I die possessed.
“I beg her to give a remem
brance out of my jewelry to my
dear cousin, Anna Smith, and
to my dear, dear old nur#e, Mary
Ahern.
“My dear mother is to judge
what she would like to give to
my dear sister, Margaret Hayes,
and her children, to remember
me. I know she will do what I
wish done .”
How eloquent are these be
quests in their simplicity, their
simplicity, their pathetic tender
ness and perfect confidence 1
Miss Winnie had devoted the
best years of her life to the care
and support of her aged mother,
and when death called her away
she did what she could, leaving
to her all that she had, and in
making her last will and testa
ment a token of her affection
and childlike trust.
All the noble tributes that
have been paid to her by admir
ing friends, all the manscripte
and books which have been
written by her and left behind
have not revealed the nobility
of her character a# has this sim
ple will.
