A TrlumphaI Journey

No ruler in all the history of the world
ever had such triumphal progress through
his domlnions as President Harrison has
had across the United States from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The like OF il
was never pictured in fairy tale or Orient
al vision, yet SO unmaginative aud prac-
teal are the American people that they
look upon the nine thousand mile Jour
ney, with the enthusiastic greetings of
tremendous crowds with the unequaled
speeches Of the President, and the com
fort and safety of the travellers as they
were carried over mountain passes and
desolate plains to reach populous centers
they look upon this as an event that
should excite no wonder. In an earlier
day poets were inspired and historians
hlled with zeal by less remarkable occur
rences. The nineteenth century has time
only for facts, and not for considering
them in relation to the worlds progress.
