lican, who Is unable to govern the great island
that blocks the entrance to our Gulf of Mexico,
and equally unable to give it up-the German

ism, separating from the See of Rome on the
dogma of Papal Infalibility and assuming to

determine Asiatic supremacy--China seeming
ready to abandon her advances and reclose her
half opened gates-Japan aholishng feudalism

which the mails over all Continents and the
wires under all Seas are daily bearing to us.

or action on these, The TsIaUNE gives ampleSt
space and most impartial record. Whatever
parties may propose, whatever political leaders
may say, whatever officers may do, is fairly set

But as to lis own political principles, The
