OF national existence by grand exhibition OF her
progress the arts and sciences to which ths naons o

and forever her prejudice against England. Ii is a
strange fact that such feeling stl exists in this cOun
try 10 great extent. Continued national antpathy Is
unworthy great country indeed, most great countries
have outgrown IT, and rgaid its presence sign of
national uinatury and hinlerance to national growth
The example II England and Franc. is notable one Ia
