Thy lot

Is shameful to the nations, most of all,
Albion, to thee! The Ocean Queen should not
Abandon Oceans children. In the fall
OF Venice, think of thine, despite thy watery
wall.
And this is not the mere sentiment Of a
pOet-it is the utterance of the prophet
who bids US remember that wrong
avenges wrong. The treatment Of Italy
was the most disgraceful and the most
fatal of the cold blooded injustices, the
stupid ~compliances, of 1915.
And Italy must not fight for Venice !
Long ago-aud the very instance has
since been used by the Italians themselves
we asked whether EngIiShmen would
or would not be held back from the de-
llverance of Kent were it severed from
our realm. The impulse is beyond all
reasoning, being by far too true and sure
for debate. If there be any virtue in
the principle that holds peoples together
and creates communities, Italian patriot
ism may assuredly plead it. 1t is not
because @ province is accidentally put
within the power of usurpers that it for
feits its right to the protection of the
national brotherhood.
We, toe, regret deeply that the Italians
have not been content to wear out their
enemies. We believe it would have been
the easiest and surest as we'll as the safest
way. But it is not TO be forgotten that
they were fully entering upon this policy
of patience when Austria poured her
levies into Venetia. She might intend
thereby TO keep q reserve against Prus-
sia on the false pretence Of mating Italy
but who IS 10 say that, with the same
assimilation, she was not using the ex-
cuse Of the Prussian quarrel to prepare
for a quarrel with the kingdom which
she Systematically refused to acknow-
ledge, even when compelled to enter into
commercial relations, and accede TO COM
merclal stlpulations with it? Is there any
doubt that the Withholding of Austrian
recognition cost Italy millions a wear in
armament ? Readiness with the Italians
must be a feverish effort or sswar enthu-
siasm. The studied and constant non
recognition of the fact of the kingdom of
Italy was an unnecessary provocation, a
threat Of future hostiities. The Italians
had not phlegm or patience enough to
submit to this shaking Of the fist in their
faces, this acit assurance of help 10 the
Pope, the Ex-King of Naples and the de-
throned Dukes. We wish they could
have shown themselves miracles Of poli-
tical endurance. But when it comes to
casting the blame upon them as if thew
were aggressors against Europe, the dis
turbers of its peace, the vioiators of its
common faith, we must tell the journal
that puts forth such trash that it can only
rely upon the trustful ignorance of its
readers. Europe is the w~foHgdoer. Eu-
rope is the e%nforcer of a peace which is
slavery. Europe is the treaty-maker
that bargains away what is not it's own
to give. And if Europe is Inconvenience
by the Instruction against its misdceds,
our chief regret would be that the insur-
rection should not be effectual.

out between her and Austria. We have
not spared our warnings as to the pro-
bable consequences. We are perfectly
aware of the complacent selishness of
French Imperial ambition, and, as a
see the brave and enthusiastic people
worsted in their encounter with the stolid
wrongfulness Of the Kaiser, than buying
success Of the smiling tradesmanlike
compIalsance Of Napoleon. Could we
Their, and argue 10 the uttermost not only
the prudence Of winning the complete
ness of her nationality by patience, time,
and an able home policy; but we might
even urge all the imperfect pleas of
moral right which Austria may be sup
posed to set forth, and all the wrong of
breaking the peace Of Europe. This is
the Office of true service, to put to each
party by itself the worse Of it's own case.
The affair is totally different when we
must reason in public, and when to
blame the one side is to hearten and
possibly TO aid the other. 1t is then ne
cessary to hold the balance even; and
those who expect TO stave off war by
laying the blame upon the supposed i'm
questionable party are guilty of a most
grievous wrong if they back up its I'M
just antagonist.
This is just what we believe the Times
is attempting to do in the case of Italy
and Austria. GAS a question Of Justice it
seems impossible to say that Italy has any
claim to Venetia, unless we admit, in the
very broadcast way, the doctrine of ma
,ti0no1it1on 0u6 tho 4boarxy fLot ~ - n .,eS
cause OF war between Independent Pow
,ers, when one has among its subjects
persons speaking the same language and
belonging to the same race as the sub
jects of the other. This doctrine would
compel France to surrender AFsace, Rus
STA to surrender Finland, England TO sur
Russia or Prussia to give.u up their Polish
subjects to anyone of the three who
might be strong enough TO demand
Them An argument more hopelessly
behind the spirit and the facts of the age
it would be difficult to frame. It is en-
tirely constructed upon the idea that
pow0rS-s. C., every
thing and the people nothing. The case
of Italy seeking to reunite Venetia to
the nation from which it is severed, is
not Victor Emmanuel endeavouring to
aggrandise his kingdom by the addition
of so much territory and so many human
beings upon it, but the Venetians, claim
ing to belong to the family of which they
are a part, and the rest of the kindred
piously eager to help them to realise
their right. The examples, supposed to
be similar, are ~singularly unfortunate.
The people of Alsace are as thoroughly
French in feeling as any other part of
the empire. They would fight to remain
in it, not to be restored 10 Germany,
which, when Alsace was transferred to
France, knew or cared little enough about
any German patriotism. The Fins are a
separate race, hostile to the Swedes as
to the Russians. IF they have a prefer
ence, it is a crime which keeps them
from indulging it. The public opinion of
Gibraltar, is, we imagine, about as lively
as the rock itself. The monkeys without
tails which are Indigenous are, we should
suppose, the most decided nationality to
be found there. The people probably

NO MAN STRENGTHENED BY ALco-
HoL.-No man in our time has won n
higher reputation for physical strength
and muscle, than Tom Sayers, the noted
prize-fghter Of England. His chief end
and aim in life, was 10 cultivate bodily
power. A gentleman once said to this he
70 Of the prize-ring, Well, Tom, of course
IN training you must take deal of nour-
ishment, such as beef-steaks, Barclays

Isl, answered the boxer. SIM no teetotal-
er, and ip my time have drank q good
ceal more than is for my good but when
I've any business TO 90, there is NOTHING
like water and the dumb-bells." Now that
single sentence is an answer to a ton Of
assertion about alcoholic drinks as nutrients
and ionics. After Sayers retired from the
prize-ring, he gave himself up to dissipa-
ton, and soon destroyed bis life by the IA
tai cup. Cold water made him Samp-
son, the bottle laid him in his grave. And
whatever temporary stimulation alcoholic
drinks may produce, no man was ever
made permanently healthier or stronger
by their habitual use. Millions have been
deceived by them, weakened and ruined.
