| Having tested .he qualities Ct or locks,
pIoushs, Keepers, steamships and sailing
vessels, the Europeans are now disposed 10
have look ut oar lighting. AT leas, the
radicals, both rf England and the continent,
argue TINT the absolute go9ernme niu Of Eu-
rope will not be thoroughly repdjIitanized
until rhe Americans send them hGnd.-.-
