Tue distraction of elephants in Africa is said to have reached the enormous total of 45,000 per annum. ‘At this rate the mammoth quadruped will soon be known only to history. ‘Tur sentiment ‘against the heavy military burdens of Germany is taking a strong hold upon the people of that country and growing continu- ally. ‘The severe discipline and many ctuelties practiced by the offl- cers are contributing their full share to this growth. Ir is said Germany is preparing a series of tariffs so arranged as to en- able her to offer inducements in the nature of the reciprocity provisions of the McKinley law to such other nations as have something good to offer. Thus do the nations of the earth learn at the feet of Uncle Sam. A Javanese colony of 5000 peo- ple will shortly locate in Mexico for the cultivation of coffee and other tropical products. —_It is safe to say the tea plant will grow beside the coffee tree on the lands of our South- ern neighbor, and that Mexican cof- fee will be improved in quality. ‘Tue animus of the attack of the ‘News’? through the Sunday morning sewer on the circu- Jation of the Sun is so evident as to demand no reply. The number of subscribers it has lost is legion, and still they continue to transfer their allegiance to the Suv. New York, having abolished on labor, has a difficult problem on her hands in giving employment of any 1 to her wards.

Ir is a strange anomaly that our laboring men are universally opposed to the free admission of foreign labor » | into this country, especially the Chi- nese and Japanese, for the reason that its introduction gives them com- petion tliat results in the reduction of the price of their labor ; and yet at the same time a large per cent. of them are in favor of the admission tree of duty of the products of that labor, when it is employed on the other side of the water. They ap- parently do not see that the competi- tions is none the less effective if not so direct. Yet this is true and the first to suffer from the importation of foreign made goods is the laboring man. Tue British military detatehment that has been sent into the interior of Affica to avenge the death of the recent exploring party at the hands of a canmbal king, is making good England’s claim to another big slice of African territory. Reports come that ‘‘an immense number of deputa- tions from the Nupe towns came to ask for permanent protection, At 8 o’clock in the morning of January 29 the column marched into the town and the British officers took up their residence in the Emir’s palace. A lievtenant climbed up to the highest pinnacle of the palace and planted the British flag upon it.” They will assuredly get ‘permanent protec- tion’? from Her Majesty’s govern- ment. Tne allegation in Sunday Morning Sewer that the circulation of this pa- per is not bona fide and that it is be- ing given away is maliciously false. here is absolute ly no foundation for the statement, and the Sun will un- dertake to show both more bona fide subscribers and fewer ‘‘dead heads’’ on its subscription list than its after- noon contemporary. It is not neces- sary for the Son to indulge in false representations with reference to its contemporaries; nor is it necessary for it to be given away. There is a sound, healthy, and growing demand for it that obviates such necessity. Neither is the character of its circu- lation subject to disparagement. ‘The Sen challenges any paper in the city to a show of circulation, both as to number and character.
