The Battle of New Orleans, of which this day la the 84th anniversary, was one of the most brilliant and successful lu the annals of the American people, and, apart from Its immense patriotic importance. It deserves consideration 00 several accounts from a military point of view. There was no exhibition of strategy an either aide. Two armies faced each the other.

One wu composed of, per haps, the best-trained troops in the world, and as experienced in jwar as they were skillful in the use of their arms. On the other hand was a force of irregulars, but nearly all inured to the rough and adventurous life of the mountains and forest, and schooled in warfare with the savage aborigines of the American hemisphere. Aa for the men on both sidea, they were much the same English and Scotch stock, with a sprinkling of French on the Ameri can side. There was no great dispar ity in the numerical strength of the two armies. The British troops attacked the Americans, who were protected by light and hastily constructed field works, but poorly supplied with can non.

The chief obstacle in the way of the British charge was a 'ditch too wide to be passed at a single bound and filled with water. In view of the fact that the battle was fought in Janu ary in this climate, the cold water of the ditch made some sort of bridging necessary. To accomplish this pur pose, the British troops advanced, bringing hurdles and ladders. 11 tne battle had ever reached a etage where the British In any consid erable numbers had mounted the Amer ican works, General Jackson's forces would have been at a great disad vantage, because the invaders were ex perienced in the use of the bayonet at close quarters, while many of the Americans did not possess such a weapon. The Western hunters were armed chiefly with the large-bore rifle made for killing the great game ani mals of their plains and forests, and the bayonet formed no part of its paraphernalia.

But the entire fate of the battle turned on the extraordinary marksmanship of the Americans. They had come to realize, in their conflicts with the fierce beasts and the wily and more savage Indians, that everything depended on quick and accurate aim with their firelocks, and they bad acquired a precision In shooting that was deadly. So it was that from the moment the British columns began their charge upon the American works up to the moment the battle was end ed, only 25 minutes of times bad elapsed; but it was long enough for the American marksmen to stretch upon the field, in dead and wounded, quite one-fourth of the British army. No discipline and no courage, how ever excellent the one or heroic the other, could endure such a terribly de structive fire. The wonderful victory, at a trifling cost of life, by the Ameri cans was won by the extraordinary precision of their shooting.

Almost every bullet found its 'human target. The only other battle like it that was ever fought between civilised races siml-A larly armed, on the American contj neni, was mat in wnicn, on tne JJrlst I of April, 1836, the Texaus woninde pendence from Mexico, infiictfn on the Mexican army frigbtfvjf carnage, while suffering themselvei trivial loss. In both cases, resets which were truly astonishing wef. accomolished directly by the wonderful marksmanship of the The elijfc of BQCh nrecision In shoot ing has. no ocejj sufficiently appreci ated by military men, who appear to rely vastly more upon their own strategy than upon the skill in the use of weapons of their men.

However, marksmanship can avail but little where the modern far-reaching guns are used. A sharpshooter cannot see his enemy at the distance to which his piece carries a ball, and since troops are no longer to stand up on the field of battle, but are to keep out of sight and further conceal their whereabouts by firing smokeless powder, there will be no opportunity for accurate shooting in battle, and no opportunity for a repetition of the results of the historic engagement at New Orleans. THE EGYPTIAN PROBLEM. A new and interesting phase of the Egyptian problem has been developed by the appointment of Lord Kitchener as Governor General of the Soudan. Formerly, that is to say prior to the rebellion of the Mahdi, the Soudan was ruled by Governors appointed by the Khedive of Egypt, who exercised all power in the name of that ruler and were advised and controlled from Cairo.

At a recent conference at Omdurman with the head men of the various Soudanese tribes, Lord Cromer, who for years has been the British diplomatic agent at Cairo, told the Sheiks that In future the Soudan would be governed neither from Cairo nor from London, but from Omdurman, and that Lord Kitchener alone would decide all questions affecting the welfare of the country and its Inhabitants. He said that the British and Egyptian flags would float side by side, thu Indicating that the sovereignty would be a joint sovereignty, and that, consequently the Soudan must bo considered no longer as merely an Egyptian province, but an Angles Egyptian possession; in other words, an Integral part of the British Empire. I is incredible that Lord Cromer could have made such statements inadvertently, as he is too old and tried a diplomat for that. Hie announcement was made the foil eoaTic tion of; the Interpretation, that would be placed upon it on the continent of Europe. Europe will-certainly accept It as an announcement that the Soudan is to be permanently retained by England as part of her empire, and consequently, aa unaffected by; any pledges which may have been made with respect to Egypt proper.

Everyone will accept Lord Cromcr'a an- nouncement as an indication thatXiord Salisbury la, preparing the way for a bold, absorption of Egjrpt by making Its possession impossible for anjr other power. No power toot controlling the Nile valley from end to end could sue oessfully hold Egypt, or make posses sion of the country profitable. With the French, out of the way in Bhar-al-Gbazal. and with the last remnants of the Dervishes Great Britain will soon have undisputed possession of a. broad strip through the African continent, extending from the Mediterranean on the north southward to Lake Victoria Nyansa," with every pxtrpect that the strijl will, before very long, be extended further southward to join with the British' possessions of South Africa.

Such an achievement would giro Great Britain permanent control of Africa, snd -its vast trade. That such a result will hasten' the civilization and opening up of the Dark Continent all impartial critics will ad mit, as so country has developed the colonizing and civilizing systems -to a greater degree than England. AMEBICAH LITERATURE ARB AMERICANISM. The Americans should study their own country; cultivated Americans know too little of it, less, indeed, than they do of Europe. This is the substance of an expression by Mr.

Hamilton W. Mabie, in the January Forum. Mabie, whom the Picayune haa more than once had occasion to quote, is a critic not only of great taste and discrimination, but a broad and high thinker. American life and history are full of daring, ex citing adventure; full of romance, de veloping not infrequently heroism of a grand and noble stamp. Says Mr.

Mabie: It has been the fashion, until within a few years, to speak of oar beginnings as If they were devoid of the quality 01 romance. That ther are not racking In strains of heroism was conceded; feat they were supposed to be devoid of the quality of Imagination, which has made the semi-legendary history of early Greece. Germany. Prance and Italy rich In contribution to the potry and romance of toe literatures or those coun tries. Since We bare come to understand cor own history more clearly and to com- irenena its stgninxance, ootn as en ex-enslon and expansion of the spiritual history of Europe and as a new chapter In the unfoldlnx of the human drama.

cur eyes have -been uasesled, and we bare become aware or tne weaitn 01 material at our dwposal for the making or litera ture. Thia. material nas naraiy oeen toachexi ss yet by the poets and novel. lets. One may easily recall the really successful attempts to use it for the purposes of the imagination; but it is sale to predict that the poets and romancers of a later period will be quick to feel the rich charm of this semi-legendarr history and to turn it to artlatic use.

Nowhere Is there more of this ro mance and heroism than in the annals' ox uie douui una tne evi. xi remains for the writers of those sections to utilize it, for they alone have it to their reach. It is not, howevery'because this rich material so great an extent neglected thatft has aroused attention and rema.yk; but it is because the people of the different parts of this country know so little of eachother that dangerous sec tional divisions hare arisen. What is most njeeded a more intimate ac quaintance of the people of each divi- iOftT of the republic with those of the Others. Mr.

Mabie well says that in this I country, for a long time to come, there will be serious danger of cleavage be tween sections which, by reason of the dlstancea which separate them, will be likely to drift apart. Boston and New Orleans are almost as far apart as London and St. Petersburg; New York and San Francisco are separated from one another more widely than Paris and Damascus, The distance from Portland, to Portland, is considerably greater than that from Greece to Norway. Under such influences of wide separation and differing conditions of populating and developing the various parts of the country, tt is not strange that there should have grown up differing and even conflicting interests. It is, therefore, impossible for the people of any one section of this yast republic to judge fairly and intelligently the people of any other section, because they must speak not from their krew ledge, but from their ignorance.

In order, then, that the people should know their country, and be able to urito in great national sentiments and astlst in the formation of what is now well-nigh impossible, great national public opinion, the people must study their own country and write and read its characteristic literature. Until then thre will be no real Americanism, but only sectionalism, which has exerted such damaging and almost destructive influences on the country, and which baa not yet ceased to be dangerous. SITUATION IN THE PHIUPPINES. According to the advices received from Washington aa well as from abroad, the in the Philippine Islands is far from reassuring. There is now every reason to fear that the Filipinos will not quietly submit to American domination, but will resist attempts to -take possession of places' held by the-; insurgents.

At Dotfo the Filipinos openly defy the American forces sent to take possession of the place, and will not permit them to land. President McKinley's instruction to General Otis direct that officer to establish American rule throughout the islands, and, for that purpose, to take possession of all public property and public highways, respecting, of course, all private rights. When the American commander commences to carry out hii Instructions, the Insurgents will either have to submit and lay- down their arms, or they will have to resort to force. -The question is: Are- the Filipinos determined to htin their Independence at air coats, or are" they merely playing for the: best possible terms? i Spain having ceded the Philippinea to the United States, this country is in honor bound to take, possession and govern the islands, or at least hold them unto a stable government has been, established. However disposed to treat the Filipinoe leniently, the United States cannot permit them to Interfere ith its plans or throw ob stacles In the way of the speedy, or ganization of a proper, government in the islands.

That trouble 1st anticipated by the autnonues a Washington proven by the fact that six regiments of regur' lars have. been ordered to? proceed to Menila as soon as possible, -and- all of them will havo sailed by Jan. 15. Orders; have also been "to General Otia to order the American force now in froni of B0O0 to take possession of the at any eostT- Granting that we have mad mistake In absorbing the Philippines, the die has been cast, and we are now mor ally responsible for the maintenance of good order In the archipelago. It wculd be folly to recognise, the in surgents, who are incapable of self-government, and rt would be worse than weakness to temporize with them.

A stable government must be inau gurated at once, and whatever resist ance is encountered must be put down with a strong hand, no matter at. what cost. General Miller should, there fore, be ordered to summon IJoilo "-'to surrender, and, if. surrender Is refused, then to take the place by force of arms. To, temporize at Iloilo would be productive of no other result, but to encourage the Filipinos elsewhere in the islands to resist.

A firm stand at Iloilo would probably nip in the bud ail attempt at resistance elsewhere. GEIflTJS TO THE JTJJTK HEAP. The Streets and Landings Commit tee of the City Council has resolved to remove the statues of Henry Clay and Benjamin Franklin from the pieces where they were set -up by the generous and enlightened citizens who donated them to the city. Just where they are to be carted away to does not yet appear, and does not in the smallest degree matter; but doubtless that will be decided in short order by the Council itself. Statues of great men are badly in the way in New Orleans.

Of course, these statues never cost the city a dollar, and, therefore, they never brought' a cent of profit to a politician. The foot of the Clay statue was once a famous gathering place for political meetings; but since the anti-Mafia mob assem bled there it has been no longer arell able, and the pressure for its removal appears to be irresistible. It is plain that all the monuments erected.with priyate funds in the public places of this city will have to go sooner or later. Many protests have already been made against the column at Liberty Place, in Canal street It is in the way of the railroads. Lee monument, at the circle in St.

Charles avenue, is in the way of the railroads. and only a few years sgo efforts were made to secure the curtailment of its base. No reason Is given why the stcrne of Franklin is to be carried away, but his marble effigy suffers from the same sort of prejudice that is poured out so liberally upon the bronze Image of Henry Clay. The most famous and frequently quoted expres sion of Dr. Franklin was in praise of honesty.

Mr. Clay was immortalized by his declaration that be bad rather be right than President. Such expressions do not attract any attention in this age, and they no longer avail to keep alive any admiration for the great man who uttered them. The enlightened citizen who gave the Franklin statue to the city is dead. Of the generous Southern ladies who contributed the money for the- Clay statue, few probably remain alive.

There are, then, alive none to whom th city came under obligation for the preservation of these monuments to clftim a fulfillment of any contract In the premises. Therefore nothing but a sentimental resistance can be made to any disposition of them, and sentiment does not count If it is the will of the people of New Orleans that these, or any other statues or monuments donated by private persons, shall be removed from the public places of the city, the sooner they can be carted away the better, and whither is a matter of no concern. After a man is dead, he is great only to the extent that he is accorded grateful and admiring recollection by posterity. It is to express such admiration and gratitude that monuments are set up. The people of some cities cannot get too many statues of great men, and they are placed, from motives of pride and emulation, in the most Important public places.

This was once the rule in New Orleans; but there appears to be a complete reversal of it to-day, and the ignoble treatment' accorded to the monuments that have heretofore been presented to this city will deter and all generous persons who may hereafter desire to express their admiration for any great citizen of New Orleans, or of the world, by setting up bis statue, and they will be careful to select some city where such gifts will be appreciated and cared for, otherwise they would only be contributing their money and the handiwork of genius to swell the city's Junk- heap.
