The GREAT NORTHWEST,

The steady settlement Of lands in Montana

railway mileage, have rendered these states
center OF interest for explanation Of this growth
is found in study Of the capabilities and re
sources OF the states, which are fully se1 forth
in three folders entitled Western Washington
just issued by the Northern Pacific Railroad.
AS g route to the Northwest the Norvheru
Pacific stands unrlvaIed, From st. Paul aud
Minneapolis its express trains reach PRINCIPAL
points in Minnesota, North Dakota, Manitoba.
Montana, Idaho, Oregon ana Washington. It
is the only line with through sleeping car SER
vice from Chicago to these states and the un1y
line running both Pullman tourist and free
colonist sleeping cars west Of ST. Paul and
Minneapolis Passengers from the east should
ask or through tickets via the Wisconsin Cen,
trail Line and Northern Pacific Railroad thus
securing tae advantage of through sleeping
cars pullman first class or Pullman tourist)
from Chicago. III.
A noteworthy feature OF the Northern Pacific
Route is the fact that holders OF second class
tickets to Western points o.. this line are allow
ed the privilege Of stopping over at Spokane
Wash, and all points west OF there for the par-
pose Of examining lands.
The dining cars on the Northern Pacific are
ali impo, t~nt part Of its service, and in connec~
zion with the grand aceuery make this a favor

FRANCE ON HER FEET.
Tho Bismarclkian Policy No Longer Pos
sible with tho Powerful Republic.

Tho Bismarckian Policy No Longer Pos
sible with tho Powerful Republic.
Some years ago, in the time of the
old emperor, Bismarck is said to have
held that it was the duty of Germany to
herself, completely equipped as she
was, with firm alliances, while the
French were not fully armed and had
no allies, to find pretext for a quarrel
and crush France, taking care to inf1ict
disabilities that would prevent her TAX
ing rank again with the foremost ma
tions, writes Murat Halstead in the Cos
mopolitan. His idea was that the
French were implacable, and each gem
GRAFTON of them had to have war with
Germany. He wanted, therefore, to
hasten the inevitable. It is too late to
adopt this policy now, for France is on
her feet, restored to the front rank,
ready with greater army than she ever
put in the field, and assured of the
friendship of Russia The German en-
peror is called to observe the growth OF
socialism, which springs up as popn-
| lor antidote for the militarism that has
been almost omnipotent in Germany.
This socialism does not seem to be NOR
bid. It is a natural form OF protest
against a governing aristocracy and a
devouring army Now the leaders Of
! the social movement are SO strong they
| can afford moderation, and their
| speeches are net the shrieks Of assas-
sins, but show the calm consideration
of most weighty and urgent affairs.
It seems to the socialists that there
| ought to be some way found Of settling
| the Alsace and Lorraine question with
out war, which however it might re-
suit, would mean the slaughter OF hun
| dreds Of thousands Of poor men; and
| one speaker was so bold as to say, a
! few weeks ago, that in twenty ,'-ears
! the German people would have no need
for royalties and i1nperialists. This
| may be incendiary from the point of
view of the occupants of thrones, but it
! is not irrational. It has been held by
many representatives of imperialism
! that blood letting was the sovereign
remedy for social disorder.
The success of the Russian loan in
France and the failure to place any of
| it in Germany has drawn the French
and Russians closer together. Happily
this may make for peace, for their
! united strength is so great Germany
will hardly care to challenge the hostil-
| ity of so portentous combination. In
i this, indeed, is the only chance for the
! preservation of the armed truce that
