because the channel through the rapids

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser makes the statement
without qualification that the President is
in favor of war with Chill, and that unless
Chill makes satisfactory reply to our de-
mands very soon he win send to Congress
early in the new year decidedly warlike
message. This story, it seems to us, is to
be taken with many grains of salt. That
the President is in favor of maintaining
the dignity of the nation we may well be-
lieve,Iand that he will not shrink from using
physical force if worst comes to worst to
do it we may also believe; but that at this
stage of the case he is in favor of war we
do not believe. War at best is terrible
calamity to any nation. and no enlightened
people should rush into it until every othey
means of settlement have been exhausted.
Though war with Chilli might not entail
much loss of life or suffering, it would in
fiicr heavy financial burdens, and If en-
tered upon lightly and without adequate
cause it would lower us in the estimation
of the enlightened nations of the earth and
instead Of increasing our influence on this
continent would in the end diminish 1t, by
tending to rouse In the weaker nations
TO the south of us feeling of hate and dis
trust. President Harrison has signalized
his administration by adopting a policy
tending to promote closer business rela-
tiOns between this country and South
American nations. Delegates from those
nations have been brought here and shown

view of weaving them from Europe and

be able to get some of its literature through
the mails. A powerful lobby is said to be
encamped in Washington already with
plenty of telling arguments in the shape Of
hard cash. There is little chance of sue
cess, however. A two-thirds majority
must be had in both houses, for the Presi-

OF your spotless purity and peace.
Sleep, a d only hear in dreaming
Far off music, beating fieeting-
Never lu laby so sweet and blest,-
Christmas bells the heavenly song repeating,
Softly seeming
Angels singing you to deeper rest.
Sleep, love, while the gracious story
OF another Child the bells are telling
Whose dear hand is holding yours tonight;
The sweet Christ Child bending from the
dwelling
Where His glory
Fills the heavens themselves with tender
light.
Sleep! the Christ Child keeps the heavens
above you,
Still is the song upon your dream intruding,
Folds around you slumberS silent fleece,
Fills the mother he art about you brouaing
SO 9th love you
That he lends his purity and peace!
