Jefferson Davis seems to be drawing near
to the end of his days; but the record of his
life does not attract the curiosity of those
who should be his countrymen. The leading
facts Of his career are that his years of most
vigorous manhood were spent in high station
In the land Of his birth, and that he yet is a
man without country.

captured Boston polltIcaiiy. fne u Brfc1s

Secretary Tracy is authority for the state
ment that the four new cruisers now at Bos-
ton and soon to sail for Europe will be the
first American squadron to 60 abroad for Al
years. OF course the United States maintains
cruisers to look after American interests In
foreign parts; but the Chicago, Atlanta,
Boston and Yorktown 60 together, and will
continue together as squadron of evolu-
tion. They certainly win be credit to the
country and will contribute to restore our
diminished naval prestige abroad. Each
vessel is built by American builders from
American materials, and is manned by off,
GERS educated in our own military academy.
The naval officers are probably the peers of
any naval officers Of any nation. The seamen,
unfortunately, are not all Americans by
birth. 1t has beennecessary for long time
to recruit for our navy from the sailors of
all the earth, as our merchant marine, the
best nursery for nations navy. has in its
debilitated condition beeni unable to supply
the demand. Our fisheries, too, another
source OF the most gallant tars that ever
served a nation, have been going down. So
it has come about that our men-of-war have
to be manned largely by men Of foreign
birth. They are well trained and efficient
no doubt. but in time of war would not COM
mand that confidence that is inspired by
men Of native birth.

Supporters Of monarchy beyond the sea
are not slow to understand the significance
Of the revolution in Brazil. They look upon
1t as the final uprooting of hereditary king

appearance of monarchy from the new

tive party, the London Telegraph, does not
consider the fat of the Queens sovereignty
over Canada any exception to this general
fact, as it considers Canada an ''all but in

The great obstacle that stands in the way
of a nomination against Mr.. Reed, is the
cold fact that many Of the Western delega-

pride, and when this disappears, as it will
when the candidates withdraw, they will go
to MIR. Reed II Mr.. Mckinley withdraws a
large part of the Ohio Congressman will go
to Mr.. Reed; and IL Mr.. Cannon takes him
self out of the way large part of the ILL.,

THE CONTEST FOR SPEAKERsHIP.
Boston Journal

The prevailing hopefulness among the
Western candidates is an excellent sign for
Mt. Reed. This may sound paradoxical, but
iii true, for the only thing that Mr.. Reed
has to dread Is a combination of votes upon
one of the Western candidates. So long as
each of these candidates is hopeful of his own
success and tenacious of his supporters. such
a combination is unlikely. Mr.. Reed is un-
doubleday In the lead at present, and he is
the second choice of good many members
whose first vote will be given to one of the
Western candidates. His prospects of sue
cess are excellent. The contest is entirely
free from outside interference. There is not
even any respectable gossip on which to base
any talk of an Administration" candidate.
The contest is also entirely free from rancor.
1t is good humored and honorable contest
The Republican party is well endowed with
leaders when it has so many candidates for
Speaker, any one of whom would fill the
Office with credit and ability. There is nc
possible combination of circumstances which
will not yield to the next Congress well
equipped and satisfactory Speaker.

Is there a county IN the country

one man absolutely without supersti-

first point to be noted is that the abb

no means proves strength OF fmind or
the reverse. Some Of the wisest men
have admitted their fear Of 'svisita-

philosopher is more skeptical-that's
all. The root Of the matter is in him.

Did Samuel actually appeal to the
witch of Endor? Well, the Bible ex-

Of its being mere delnsion. Did

gospels explicitly say 20. II eingIe
