and you never saw a more successful

At eleven Il. m. we started down the

The Republican Situation.

1t was from the republican ranks
that the votes were cast, after the mis-
cradle salary grab and the shameful
Credit MObilier scandal and the thefts
and peculatiOns in the executive de
partments, which turned the claw
making power over to the democrats.
Those votes were by some of the best
men in the party. Similar votes are
in danger of being cast by the same
sort of men from like motives now
Enough of them have already been
thrown in Ohio to deprive the republi-
cans, in all probability, of their major
ity in the House of Representatives and
it is not ut all improbable that the Sen
ate, also, will in the next Congress he
anti-rcpublican. To the men who cast
their votes in this way it is quite idle
to talk about the grand past of the re-
publicans or the unsavOry record of the
democrats. 1t is the present they
consider, and they argue that if the
country is to he bled by mOnstrous
taxation, its substance wasted in river
and harbor and pension steals, its
name disgraccd by the prominence in
its councils of such men as RObesOn,
its civil service debauched and de
graded by the abuses of the spoils sys-
TEN and the hideOus robbery of Hub
bell and his gang-if all this is inevi-
table ''as the world is now constituted, ,"
then they will decline responsibility
for it, they will turn the government
over to the democrats and 90 squarely
into opposition. They don't care fig
for the doctrine of averages extending
over long periods, us applied to poll
tics. What guides their action of to-
day is the present condition. of their
party and its probable course in the
immediate future.
This may not be broad view, but
it Ii IL very practical one, and, on the
whole, it is entirely just. The party
have "done evil things" in its name.
Those leaders will not voluntarily get
out. They will stay just as long as
their followers, drawing general com
parisOns. say that it is better to let
them stay than to run the risk of losing
the elections. But thousands of re
publicans in Ohio, in New York, in
Pennsylvania, and all over the country
are saying that it is not better to let
them stay, no matter what the risk.
If they can be got rid of without ruin
ing the party it would he infinitely
better. If they cannot, then the party
will he ruined, and it is they, and not
the men who revolt against their evil
rule, who will he respOnsible.-New

England and the United states

The relations of England and United
States are naturally of the first interest
to us. Our love and our hatred have
always been that of true relatives. For
three-quarters of II century our amour
prOpre was constantly kept raw by the
most supercilious patronage. During
the past decade, when the quality
of England's regard has become
more and more matter of indifference
to us, we have been the subject of a
more intelligent curiosity, of increased
respect, accompanied with a sincere
desire to understand us. In the diplo-
matte scale Washington still ranks be
low the Sublime Porte, but this anon
ally is due to tradition, and does not
represent England's real estimate of
the status of the republic. There is,
and must be, Il good deal of seltiShness
mingled in our friendship p,-patriotism
itself being form of selfishness, but
our ideas of civilization so nearly coin
eide, and we have so many common
aspirations for humanity that we must
draw nearer together, Notwithstanding
old grudges and present differences in
social structure. Our intercourse is
likely to be closer, our business rela
tiOns will become more inseparable. |
can conceive of nothing so lamentable
for the progress of the world as a quar-
rel between these two English speaking
people.
But, i'll one respect, we are likely to
diverge. | refer to literature ; in that,
assimilation is neither probable nor de-
sirable. We were brought up on the
| literature of England our first efforts
were limitations of it; we were criti-
cised-we criticised ourselves its
standards. We compared every new
aspirant in letters to some English
writer. We were patted on the back
if we resembled the English models :;
we We're stared ut or sneered at if we
did not. When we began to produce
something that was the product of our
soil and our own social conditions, it
was still Judged by the old standards,
or, if it was too original for that, it
was only accepted because it was curl
Gus or bizarre, interesting for its Oddi-
| ty. The criticism that we received for
our best was evidently founded on
such indifference or tOleration that il
was CALLING. At first we were sur
prised; then we were grieved; then
we were indignant. We have long ago
ceased to he either surprised, grieved,
or indignant ut anything the English
critics say of us. We have recovered
our balance. We know that since Gul-
liver there has been no piece of Origi-
nal humor produced in England equal
to "Knickerbocker's New York" that
not in this century has any English
writer equalled the wit and satire of
the "Biglow Papers" We used to be
irritated ut what we called the snOh-
bishness of English critics of IA certain
school we are SO no longer, for we see
that its criticism is only the result of
Ignorance, simply of inability to un-
derstand.
No, we must expect IL continual di-
vcrgence in our literatures. And it is
best that there should he. fThere can
be no development of Il nations litera-
ture worth anything that is not on its
own lines, out of its own native mate
rials.- Charles Dudley Warner i'll the

caught his trusty gun from the rack,
and charged for the poultry-yard. He
ran right over bee stand Just the

stung in thirty places before he jumped
over the fence of the poultry yard,

was broOding thirteen chicks, break

as he jumped, and went off, killing
young turkey, and filling the Durham

tumult and confusion, sailed gracefully
