Gently all the eastern connections of the

Northwestern made the claim that % per

a circular canceling all through-rate ar

pass upon it, not being satisfied that they

ST JOSEPH, Oct. 6-J. H Benedict,
president of the ST. Joseph and Grand
Island railroad, and party. arrived in this
city today, on a tour of inspection. He
was received by the board of trade, and in
an address to that body intimated that
the road would soon pass from the con-
troll of the Union Pacific and into the
hands of an Independent management,
with headquarters at St. Joseph, as for
merly. Colonel TuthIll, who was formerly
general manager of the road, has been
here, which lends color to the reported
change. The report is also confirmed by
several persons who were formerly prom
inently identified with the management of
the road.

Today, as yesterday, as tomorrow. and
as for long time to come, the situation
of France and Germany forms the great
subject of anxiety which is imposed
upon the meditation of all European
statesmen. At no other point is it fore
seen that war can break out. Russia has
great ambitions and Italy has strong de-
sires, but Russia is for years doomed
merely to cherish ambitions, for she can
not realize them single handed, and it
does not depend upon her to provoke
general war, which would be one result
of her combined action with France;
while as for Italy, she will never venture
to give the signal of war, for if she did
she would be left to herself and would
be speedily crushed 1t could be solely
as the result of general war that Italy
could obtain her share and in the pres
ent state of her alliances she could take
that share only from France. so that
general war alone could procure it for
her. inasmuch as, if she were left single
handed, she would not be able to over
come France.
Neither Austria nor England dreams
of war. 1t is therefore still, as twenty
years ago. France and Germany who
could occasion war; because, whatever
may be alleged, whatever may be pro-
claimed or whatever may be concealed.
these two nations desire war-war, first
for its own sake, and next for the rest;
and if, in order TO have done with this
everlasting Franco-Gernan nightmare.
Europe could now promise to fold her
arms, and afterward to intervene merely
as arbiter, war would break out to-mor-
row between France and Germany, for
the fatality Of war haunts and overrides
both nations.-De Blowitz ia Harper's

TWO KINGS.

One was king Of ruthless power
Who spurned his peoples trust,
All whiteness from his soul erased
By tyranny and lust.
One was monarch just to all
Within his Kingdoms reach,
His creed of charity and love
Flowered in act and speech.
The tyrant on a sumptuous couch
Outbreathed his final breath,
And his life lapsed all unconsciously
From tranquil sleep to death.
The king beloved by grateful hearts
Throughout his prosperous land,
While issuing some benign decree
Died from a murderer's handl

my own reason for this increase OF in

majority OF cases | honestly believe
that the cause can plainly be traced

the above mentioned reason. Friends,
you have neglected the veteran by
considering that he has already been
well provided for by grateful peo-
pie, and consequently you have al
most entirely forgotten him-you

never send him his local
newspapers; you do not cheer

Day after day our feeble old friend OF

never come. Week after week he
sends messages to loved ones. or
friends OF his scnoolboy days. but
never receives an answer. Slowly.
with feeble steps and bowed head he
walks about the Home grounds; his
comrades that pass by he never
knows. Life Is drudge. and hope is

cannot return youth TO them; they
cannot replace friends. wives, sons

tional Home is not the Home, Sweet

sang OF during and before the war.
Please remember your old friends at
