In Europe three million armed
men are sullenly facing each other,
waiting only for the word to spring
at each others throats. War has
long been thought of as imminent,
and this state of things has come to
be regarded as normal. This anon
alous condition, without parallel
in history, is wildly portrayed in
the November Forum by William r.
Thayer, one of our most acute stu
dents Of European politics. He has
striven to put before his readers a
picture of the status Of each Of the
great powers-their strength, their
feelings toward one another and
their probable course in case of war.
He concludes that Russia is to-day
the centre of the warlike storm area,
and that her course endangers all
Western Europe.

IN IMPRESSIVE LESSON.

Commenting on the feeling mani
tested on the tariff question in the
recent election in Massachusetts, the
Boston Herald says that thousands
of voters have left the republican
party because it was chained to the
car of McKinleyisfn; that thousands
of others have remained in under
protest against it's high tariff views,
and that the republican party will
inevitably be defeated in that state
in the presidential election next
wear unless it unloads itself of the
high tariff encumbrance. That it
cannot do, therefore Massachusetts,
may be counted in the democratic
column.

A Girls Reason for Wreckin9 q Trai1

Girls Reason for Wrecking Train.
It is reported from Nancy that a girl
in charge of some poultry at Chambley
lately placed two large stones on local
railway line. The engine driver of a
train which was proceeding in the direc-
ton of Nancy felt severe shock on en-
tering the cutting near st. Julien. and
was afraid that the carriages would go
off the line. The gendarmes afterward
made an investigation, found the stones
and the girl who had placed them on the
rails.
When asked why she thus jeopardized
the lives of hundreds Of people, she re-
piled coolly that she wanted to bring
about a railway accident so that she
might obtain some of the fine hats and
dresses worn by ladies who might be
killed or injured by her wicked action
She has been sent to a reformatory.-

AMERICAN SHIPS.

The absence of the American flag
in foreign ports has long been q
matter Of comment. Any discussion
Of the causes Of and the remedy for
this humiliating state Of things
must attract wide attention. Mr..
Charles 81. Cramp, the president of
the great Philadelphia company that
is building 80 many Of our warships,
treats the matter in the November
Forum, and, after an historical re-
view of the subject, comes to the
conclusion that the different atti-
tudes of the British government
and our own toward shipbuilders is
largely responsible for the state Of
our merchant marine. This coun.
try, he thinks, will never have feet
Of merchant vessels 30 long as the
United States government pursues
it's present policy. Two decades OF
liberal treatment Of shipbuilders,
he thinks, would place US far in adj
vance of England on the seas.
