By this system short and direct line OF

WASHINGTON, ID. e., Feb. 4, e..
1t would be curious If the issue In the
next presidential contest should relate to
the umpirage of the United States in the
western hemisphere. Mr.. Everett long
since spoke of the mild umpirage of the
federal union" But Mr.. Blaine has pro.
posed an extensian of this umpirage to the
quarrelsome children Of South America.
The idea will find favor not only with
Sentimentalists, but with all who are not
to sentiment. and the fact that
such an astute politician as Mr.. Blaine Is
giving it prominence, lifts the question
above the plane Of ordinary interest. Ma
tions, no more than individuals, can live
and die to Themselves. Vast powers can.
not be dissuciated from vast responsibility.
