P.aTIENcE AND PERSEVERANCE,.

PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE.
One of our contemporaries, who no doubt prides
himself on his inyincible obstinacy, breaches up
as follows the beauty and virtue Of that quality
PoLiricAL PERSEVERANCE always attends per-
In the year 1926 the Hon Marcus Morton
eeved eight votes in Boston for Governor The next
his vote increased to H. In 1927 1t reached 3d. In
1925 to $751; In 1881 it was precisely the in 1928
In 1882 it reached LII In 1856 Mr. Morton elected
Governor by the people by majority in O68
given in the State His vote in Boston was 37o2 In
1649 he elected by the Legislature having received
4,6l9 votes in Boston.
Our cotemporary pitches his lessons and his
examples very low. Does he wish to teach men
how to succeed without merit' Is not that art
abundantly well understood among us, already I
Would it not be better public service to teach
desert how to succeed We really cannot look
on the ultimate election of stupid old Marcus
Morton as an admonition of anything but that
the sovereign people are often as foolish and
tickle as any king could be, for his life
Courage in q brave cause, constancy in good
one, perseverance in what was rightly designed,
are good things but not stupid persistence
in what ought never to have been set about.
Some men, however, these things become quite
as much as any other action in their ignoble
lives Marcus Morton--a very stolid old Feder-
alist--turned himself into an equally dull Demo-
crat. When he became a whole og-man il
was but natural he should grow pig headed
And his persistence deserves not the honorable
name of perseverance, but that of political pig.

GENER.1L ElfhOPEdsf Pps1sh
II viii be perceived, from the various details |
Of the latest foreign news, that the late Russian
successes are generally considered by the English
press and its echo, that Of New York, as almost
certain to lead to d general war in Europe
The London Times, that great leader Of brltish
opinion, has suddenly changed sides ana as
st1med warlike tone and this fact mas no
doubt, from the enormous influence OF the Times,
had NO little part in bringing about the new I'M
nression which new prevails. The reasoning, |
however, on which this sudden persuasion POUNDS |
itself. does not seem to us by any means weighty
enough to induce an able Ministry and people
AZ enlinently prudent as the British to abandon
that policy Of peace which il now of such vast
concern to the nation. We suspect that these
been but the mornentary stir of the English
sympathy with the Turks, in their recent dis
aster, and that the feeling will soon revert to
that polite view of the whole matter, which is
pretty certain, in due time, to take possession
Of that most sensible Of men, Mr.. John Bull.
There is, also, another very sensible person,
without whom Mr.. Bull is going, in no event, to
engage in this war. That person is one Louis
Napoleon a very discerning and subtle gentle
man; who usually knows excellently well what
he is after, and takes remarkable care that no
body else should.
Now, we have never been able to see how
either Of these skillful and wary powers can be-
ieve that it will not lose greatly more than it
can gain, by bringing about a general war, as
il must BY joining the Turks against the Rus
SLAMS. What has England or France to fight
about? First. the old Balance of power; second,
the wider stretching of Russian power towards
India and Persia. We do not count the trade
of the Levant or of the Black Sea for surely
that trade will be much the same, whether the
Turks or the Russians be at Constantinople.
On the other hand, the industrial and finan-
cial condition of England and France renders a
war an evil of terrible magnitude. This would
be one that would demand operations on great
scale and enormously expensive The contest
with league, headed by power so strong, SO
obstinate and SO difficult seriously to hurt as
Russia, could not we'll fail to be long. Should
it prove so, it would but too probably involve
both England and France in national bank
ruptoy; and that is almost ever certain to be
