THE WEAKNESS OF ENGLAND.
ii r.ronrebT Kr.nde Prrxmrlww. Owariltloa
f Afluir.-l'rlvlleae v.. Right.
An earnest and searching review of the
Cannes of the decay of England has appeared
in late numbers of Frascr'a Mtiizine. It ia
from the pen of Mr. James Anthony Froude,
the historian, who is now the editor of
Prater's, and whose powers of research have
been exerted to very useful purpose in the
task he has undertaken, lie aims to show
why England is decrepit; through what causes
she has lost much of the moral and physical
force which once made her formidable; whom
ehe has to thank for her present condition;
and what is likely to be the final result. Mr.
Froude handles his subject with a vigorous
pen, and reveals some facts which are of pe
culiar interest at ft moment when the scale is
equally balanced between peaae and war.
The concluding part of this able paper ap
peared in the September number of the
magazine, and was written while England re
mained safely outside the lines of conflict on
the continent before the Ilnssian cloud had
become vipible. JJut the temporary escape
of England from entanglement in the quarrel
between France and UruRBia did not convince
Mr. Froude that the English nation would re
main secure in its insular solitude. Ho
therefore gave expression to a solemn warn
ing, which, in view of subsequent events,
bas a striking significance. "At this mo
ment," he says, "if we were taken by
surprise as Prussia has been,
and a hostile power could by any
means obtain twenty-fours' command of the
Channel, London would inevitably be taken.'"
In other words, the British army is inetlloien';
while the suggested possibility of a hostile
naval force obtaining possession of the Chan
nel is virtually an admission that the British
navy is not so well handled as it should be.
These conclusions coincide with actual reve
lations of a damaging character which have
recently come to light through the London
press such as the weakening of the re
sources of the great arsenals, the inhuman
treatment of the Boldiers of the regular army,
and the blunders of the naval management,
all of which are serious and dispiriting
grievances.
Putting aside these questions, however, Mr.
Froude proceeds to a discussion of another
point, namely, whether or not the heart of
England is sound enough to stimulate the
nation to a successful resistance of foreign
aggression; to repel attack, for example, as it
resisted Spain in the day of the Armada, or
the First Napoleon in the time of threatened
invasion. Mr. Froudo'B answer is a molan
choly "No!" He writes: "Thirty thousand
favorites of fortune alone possess that origi
nal hold on English soil which entitles Eng
land in return to depend upon them in the
day of trial: and thus it is that to persons who
think seriously there appears something pre
carious in England's greatness, as if with all
her wealth and all her power a single disaster
might end it."
Pursuing thi3 train of thought, he further
observes:
No nation ever suffered a more tremendou?
humiliation than France in the second occu
pation of Paris, yet France rallied rapidly,
and is now stronger than ever. Her popula
tion remained rooted in the soil to which
they are passionately attached, and their per
manent depression is impossible. If she bo
defeated in the present struggle, it will be
ultimately the same. Forty millions of peo
ple can neither be destroyed nor removed;
and where the people are, and where the land
is their own, their recovery is a
matter of but a few years at most.
They may lose men and money; and pos
sibly a doubtful outljing province, but that
is all the injury which an external power can
inflict on them. "With England it is difficult
to feel the same confidence. If the spell of
our insular security be once broken; if it be
once proved that the Channel is no longer an
impassable barrier, and that we are-now ou a
level with the Continent, the circumstances
would be altered which have given us hitherto
our exceptional advantages; and those of us
who can choose a home elsewhere, who have
been deprived of everything which should
specially. attach us to English soil that is to
say, ninety-nine families out of every hun
dred will have lost all inducement to re
main in so unprofitable a neighborhood.
This is plain language and, unfortunately
for England in the existing condition of af
fairs, it is likewise true. What folio as id
still tLarper, for it hits.
THE PRIVILEGED CLASSES.
The noble lords I speak of some, not yet,
happily, of all are grown" wise in their
generation, and acknowledge the excellence
of what they once despised. The growth of
manufactures has doubled, quintupled, mul
tiplied in some instances a hundredfold the
value of their land. Their rents maintain
them in splendor undreamt of in earlier gen
erations, which has now become a necessity of
existence. They have their half-dozen parka
and palaces; their houses in London, their
moors in Scotland, their yachts at Cowes.
Their sons have their hunters at Melton, their
racing stables, their battues. In the dead
season of sport they fall back to recruit their
manliness with pigeon shooting at Hurling
Lam. These things have become a second
nature to them, in which they live and move
and have their being. Their grandfathers
cared for the English commonwealth. It is
hard to say what some of these high persons
cared for except idle luxury.
Another class of Englishmen, to whom Mr.
Froude attaches part of the responsibility for
the poverty of the workingmen and for the
emigration of skilled artificers and intelligent
laborers, consists of the great employers of
labor. We quote:
THE GREAT MANTTACTUHERS.
To the manufacturers abundance of labor
means cheap labor, and cheap labor is the
secret of their wealth, the condition of their
prosperity, the means by which they undersell
other nations and command a monopoly of
the world's markets. Folitio&l economy, the
employer a gospeJ, preaches a relation be
tween themselves and their workmen which
means to them the largest opportunity of
profit with the smallest recognition of obli
gation to those upon whose labor they grow
rich. Slavery, beyond its moral enormity,
was condemned economically as extravagant.
The slave born on tha plantation w as main
tained while he was too young to wotk at his
master's expense. His mattter had charge of
him when he was sick, and in his old age.
when he could do no more he was fed, cl jhe. I,
and lodged for the remainder of his days.
The daily wages system, besides having th
advantage ol being free contract, leavos
the master at the day's end discharged uf
further responsibilities.
He is bound to his his workman only so
long as it is his interest to retain him. Wnd-j
trade flourishes and profits are large he gives
him full employment. When a dead eeuu
supervenes he draws in bis sails. He lies by
till better timea return, and discharges hi 4
hands to live upon their savings, or ultimately
te be supported by the poor rate till he nee J
their services again. The State, therefore, in
assisting emigration interferes to rob him of
his living. "Keep the people at home," said
a noble Lord, "we shall want them
when trade revives." Toor rates can . be
borne with, for those who are
themselves little more than paupers
share the burden of thom. Even trades
unions and strikes can be borne with so long
as the men confine themselves to higgling
over the wages rate. Hunger will bring
them to terms in time. Anything but a large
emigration, for with emigration wages will
rise in earnest and profit! lessen. The man
by whose toil the master has prospered has
gone where his toil is for hi nsclf, where he
is taking root upon the land, a sturdy mem
ber of the commonwealth, and the home mar
ket is relieved of bis competition. The na
tion is richer for the change so long as he re
mains an English subject, but the ca pitalist
employer loses a percentage of his profits.
By way of enforcing theso arguments, Mr.
Froude cites incontrovertible facts, such as
the following:
INTINITE WRETCnEDNERS.
The infinite wretchodnoss produced by the
present state of things ought not to piss for
nothing. It has beoome not nnoommon in
theRe days to hear of miserable fat tiers and
mothers unable alike to support their families
or see them starve, destroying their children
and themselves, and making an end of their
troubles thus. Again, if we please, we may
call in Providence. The classes which Buffer
most are toughest-hearted. The poor old
Devonshire woman with eight hungry mouths
about her and a week to feed them, looks
with envy on the Lord's mercy to her neigh
bors, whose babies die in arms, and sighs
out, "We never have no luck;" but this cal
lousness itself is frightful, and is in itself one
of the causes of the enormous mortality.
KILLING INFANTS.
Omitting for the present those who
are starved and those who are murdered, and
confining ourselves to the great bulk of infant
mortality, let us ask whether any means exist
by which it can be successfully encountered.
Encountered, I presume it ought to be if
possible; we have not yet. wholly outgrown
the idea that there is something in hunirm
life more sacred than in the lives of animals,
and a murrain among the cattle is considered
a sufficient subject for an act of Parliament.
Men nay impatiently that the parents are to
blame; if the father spent the money which
he wastes at the ginshop in providing better
clothes and food for his family, this alone
would save half those who die; but duty is a
matter of conscience, and you cannot make
people moral by statute.
HOLES FOR HOMES.
Tho artisans in the great cities,
the agricultural laborers driven out of the
old-fashioned hamle ta and nuclulocl into vil
lages, are heaped together in masses where
wholesome life is impossible. Their wages
may be nominally rising, sufiiaienlly, per
haps, to keep pace with the rise of prices,
but wages form only a small part of the mat
ter. The laborer lodges now many miles
from his work. Ho leaves his homo
in the early morning, he returns to
it late at night. The ground in town has
become bo enormously valuable that tho
factory hand and the mechanis ean afford but
a single room, at the best two. When ma
day's toil is over ho has no temptation to re
turn to the squtilid nest which is all that
society can allow him, and he finds the beer
house and the gin palace a grateful exohango.
The wife, obliged herself to work to supply
tho empty platter, must be absent also mauy
hours lrom home; she has no leisure to at
tend to her children, and they grow up as
they can; to fall a prey to disease and aoci
dents which lie in wait for them at every
turn.
LAND MONOPOLY.
A Btrangcr travelling on a railway from end
to end of England would think that there was
no civilized country in the world where thcro
was bo much elbow room. lie sees enormous
extents of pasture land and undulating fal
lows cultivated to the highest point of pro
ductiveness, with only at intervals symptoms
of human habitations. He sees the palaces
of the noble and wealthy set in tho midst of
magnificent parks, studded with forest trees
and Bheets of ornamental water, or main
tained for game preserves and artificial wil
dernoBses. In Scotland he Bees whole conn
tieB kept as deer forests and grouse
moors that the great of the land may
have their six weeks enjoyment there
in the autumn. Room enough and to spare
he would naturally think there must be in a
land where ground could be devoted so lav
ishly to mere amusement. If he is guest at
one of these grand mansions he will be told,
as Mr. Goschen says, that over-population is
aTdream. He gazes across the broad-reaching
lawns or down the stately avenues. Miles
distant he sees the belt of forest which
bounds the domain and holds the outer world
at bay. His host tells him with pride that
from his own coal and iron are made the rails
which shall link together the provinces of
India, that there is no limit to English pro
duction, to English wealth, to English great
ness.
VrjAT MUST COME OF ALL THIS?
If we allow our industrial system to extend
in the same manner and at tho same rate of
increase as hitherto, every feature niont
fraught with danger must increase along with
it. The boundary line between rich and poor
will be more and more sharply defined. The
number of those who can afford to hold land
must diminish as by a law of nature. The
wealthy will become mora wealthy, the luxu
riouB more luxurious, whilo there will be an
ever enlarging multitude deeply tinoturod
with mere heathenism, left to shift for them
selves, and resentful of tho neglect, with tho
cot of living keeping paee with the advance
of wages, and therefore in the presence of ae
enormous accumulation of capital, con
demned, apparently for ever, to the same
hopeless condition, and yet with political
power in their hands if they care to ua it,
Tee reixeay suggested 10 aiuenu in eviis
which are thus forcioly described is organized
emigration a subject which would bear
much diseunsion, but for tho siguincunt cir
enmstauco that this emigration is actually
going on, and that many thousands of strong
laborers and cf skilled artificers have already
found better quarters elsewaere than thj
could Lope to compass at home. They
wanted to remain Englishmen; they are
forced to become Miles. Through their lun
i6hmrnt and the causes whioh led to it, Eug
land has put herself into the oouditioa which
s so vividly described by Mr. Froude.
A lady named Luella Gross, who had at
tained her one hundred and eeventh ye:r, died

made a post-mortem exanaluatiou of the remains
shortly after death, lie eutes tbathe found tue

WAR EriSODKS. !
The nr.erted Ylllnrn of Krnare.
A plqnant sketch of the deserted villages Of
France Ii given by a correspondent of the London
Daily Life In those villain, he savs, when
the soldiers make themselves comfortable In the
absence of the Inhabitants, ts sort of military pic
nic. Everything Is hunted out which ran supply the
wants of the momeut, and no attention is paid to
the conventionalities which hamper common-plaoe
housekeeping. If there be window curtains in one
dwelling, and a lack of blankets In another, tho
curtains change their function for the benefit of all
concerned for the benefit of all save the original
owner, who Is far away and forgotten. Tue writer
adds:
Yonr true deserted vilinge Is deserted because of
siege operations. It Is lu the great holt or ruin
round Paris, and Its inhabitants lisve fled to escape
the dangers of shot and shell. The owner of the
curtains above named would have gladly com
pounded to lose every article of furniture if only
he could save his house. As It is, he may chance
to lose furniture and house together. Yet the
soldiers will keep this last Dt for habitation If they
ean. me mimary picnic requires aoors ana win
dows ob these eold nights to make It simplete.
There may be need to brvak np some of the furniture
II the owner has been careless about firewood, and
bas left little or none In store. Hat even then the
share and share alike principle of the hour helps
out one supply with another, bo that firewood
enough is usually found.
.so is wine in some cases, oy tne wonuerrnt quick
ness of tho men about unearthing It. A Prussian
Jaeger has been polDled out to me who has tha re
putation or smelling good wine through any depth
of earth. Ills Instinct for tracing the slightest sign
of concealment, and for judging the likeliest spots
In the garden to contain a hidden wine-bin, Is or I o
mense Taluc to his comrades. They think the wine
of.deserted houses a fair prey, and are content with
tue moderation wnicn leaves the bottles uninjured
10 ne niiea again at some ruiuro time.
That strong argument, "If we do not the next
detachment will," covers much that Is done In a de
serted village. Why leave anything but 'Mixtures''
to the unknown successors of those who picnic to
day 7 Therere chairs to be shifted from house to
house, according to the actual dtstribnMou of the
guests. Plates must go where plates are needed
even at the risk of confusing different people's din
ner services, and useless lumber must be flung into
the back yard taut it may not erjwd the sitting
rooms. I often thlBk amid all this sad waste of pro
perty, this scourging of the land by war, that the
scene In snch a village oners a wild suggestion of
what would happen If we were to "play at being in
a desert Island, ' as children would say, but to piay

A MIDICAL VIKW.
The correspondent of the London Lam-el. tnslda
Pari, forwards by balloou post the following com
munication, showing that, among other things, the
nii.ltary surgeons are practicing conservative sur
gery on an extensive scale, and apparently with
more successful results than nave been attained in
the flelJ:
The siege of Paris presents very many points of
professional Interest. The almost datly skirmishes,
attacks, and larger actions supply the hospitals
with wounded, presenting Injuries of all degrees of
gravity, aud Illustrating in the measures taken in
their management from all that Is Ingenious, scien
tific, and admirable, down to that which is lucon-
celvably bad, horrible, and disgusting. Conservative
surgery is having, In some lnHtnoces at least, a fair
trial, and ts doing wonders; lu fact, limbs shattered
by bullets are being saved in caes where, some
years ago, anything but lnstaut amputation would
not have been thought of. A considerable amount
of dysentery, rheumatism, fevers, and chest affec
tions have arisen from exposure of the troops in
bivouacs and in the trains d'abri. There ia very
little disease, however, when we consider the great
fatigue our troops hav had to undergo, and the
wet, Inclement weather we have had during the
greater part of October. Meat la now decidedly
scarce; butter and milk are luxuries for the very
wealthy, ana eggs dimeuit to be hud and ajar. Tiie
dally ration of beef or mutton now allowed to each
adult Inhabitant's reduced to 33 grammes, that Is,
about an ounce and a hair, including bone,
and In consequence of imperfect arrange
ments there are many who have been un
able to obtain that little scrap. The sick and
wounded troops, except In the purely military
hospitals, are InsufUcleutlv supplied with meat, e -cept,
perhaps, In the American ambulance and one
or two others, where private energy supplies what
official routine fails to furnish. This state of affairs
Is injurious to the wounded themselves, and calcu
lated to give rise to 111 feeling among their effective
comrades. It is, therefore, to be hoped that it will
soon be rectified. Grtat abuse had crept Into the
system of taking the wounded off the Held. It has
been asserted that some persons, who have esta
blished private hospitals in their houses, for selfish
purposes, have actually paid money to nArm4r
for carrying wounded to their carriages near the
lie hi of battle. This has now, it is hoped, been put
a stop to."
