not afford either an event or rumor. Her polisi-
clans are looking on at the Prussian movements
with keen interest, but, as usual, with an eve to
their own objects and intrigues. The President

pref that word; they are opposed to Repubcansm,

dangerous one. They are only tying down the
safety valve of the steam engine.
