Gay preparation.
Your coming now makes no more stir
About the house than IL YOU were
a poor relation.
But then It seems to me
You've turned the tables
S since You brought me the gilded fan

hudson bay sables.
You now no longer bring
That times affection.

Mr.. GREsHAM's impolite dispatch to
the Japanese government, lamenting its
unjust war upon Corea becomes yet
more deplorable in view of the fact that
Japan is antagonized by the British
government, while China is held in
check by Russia. This Asiatic duel
has become a conflict between two
Eurasian powers, one our tried and
trustworthy friend and the other our
lifelong enemy. By Mr.. Gresham s
action the United States is made the
enemy of Russia and the confederate oil
England. 1t is not easy to imagine a
more complete or more unfortunate
miscarriage of diplomacy.

ONE ADVANTAGE OF an Oriental war is
the amount of business it makes for Oc-
cidental nations in the manufacture of
deadly implements. We can do China
a great favor and ourselves one only a
few degrees smaller by returning to her
at figure slightly below cost the homi-
cidal frecrackers and things that an
enlarged national wisdom caused US to
leave unconsumed on and after the
Glorious Fourth.
