RUSSIA AND ENGLAND,

The death OF Alexander and the &C.
cession to the throne of Nicholas and
his marriage with Princess Alix are
events that must of necessity have a pc.
tent influence in the immediate future
of Europe. In discussing the situation
the st. Paul Dispatch says:
"It will we'll repay all students of
European affairs to watch closely the
operations of craftsmanship across the
Atlantic for some months to come.
"The Dispatch has already expressed
the conviction that great events are i'm
p~ending-events which may radically
change the relationship which several
of the great military powers now bear
toward each other-ana the daily prog
ress of events seem more and more to
confirm this view.
"The two nations more Immediately
concerned are England aud Russia. The
opinion is daily gaining ground, as al.
ready outlined in these columns, that
these two great powers are likely to be
found, if not in open alliance, at least in
close mutual understanding. There are
many circumstances pointed to in this
behalf, among others the openly avowe1
friendship of Gear Nicholas for the prince
of Wales. The great circumstance of all,
however. pointing in this direction is,
as already suggested, the generally &C.
copied fact that England has conceded
to Russian gunboats access to the Oar.
danelles on the same conditions as at
present enjoyed by the navy of England.
"We will not here go into even the
certain consequences of such an under
standing. Already there are indications
of Germany's vexation at the turn of
events, while France, which cordially
hates England and never misses an op-
%portunity to give expression to that hate,
is very evidently taken by surprise at
the new turn of events. An important
German authority on international sub
jects, DR.. Felix Bob, has shown his
agreement, in the last number of the
Nineteenth Century, with another high
German publicist, DR.. Getfcken, in the
view that the loose jointed British EN-
pire is destined to early dissolution. The
peculiar Thickness, or untimeliness of
this later article is its most important
feature, and must be taken as betokening
a good deal OF the existing German feel
ing.
No event of supreme international
Importance could happen, which, in this
generation. would be likely to exercise a
more beneticent influence on the fate Of
humanity than an agreement for the
promotion of European peace between
England and Russia. Nor could any
thing be more promotive of the interests
of the two nations in question. 1t would
far transcend in Importance the triple
alliance, and might not unreasonably be
regarded as ultimately tending to a dis
ruption of that gigantic armed con-
spircy.
I'VE may safely await the immediate
progress of events in Europe. Christian
civilization even in that benighted sec.
ton of the earth's surface is beginning
at last to send forth the sweet blossom
of peace.

AmericaniSnus"

Many are the books on America which
have been written by foreigners, and.
much as we do in visiting the old world,
they remark, not always in a compli-
mentary way, upon the points wherein
our speech and manners differ from
theirs. These pecularities they group
under the head of "Americanisms.' Our
English cousins have much amuse-
ment from our use of guess for think"
or suppose" and mad for "angry,"
forgetting that their early writer's used
the words in exactly the same sense. 1t
is simply the survival of the old Eng
lish in a new land. The terse phrases of
America they look upon as slang, not
realizing that a young nation, in vigor-
GUS development, and graphing with new
problems. needs practically a new Ian
guage. Truly. we have not always i'm
proved on the mother tongue. but If our
visitors would overlook particulars, and
generalize more. they would find some
"Americanisms" to admire. Among
such nothing would be more worthy of
their attention than the extensive rail-
road systems. the difficulties over which
they have triumphed in their building,
and the completeness and righteousness
OF their passenger equipment. A tour
over such SYSTEMS as the Burlington
Route would convince that no such CON-
Portable long.distance journeys by rail
are possible in the Old World, running
thousands of miles without change of
cars, and all the comforts of a home
at instant command. For information
as to the extent and accommodations Of
this railroad, make inquiry when next
you have a trip, of your home agent, or
write to w w. Johnston, Commercial
Agent, Billings, Mont, and you will find
that the Burlington can take the best
care of you to almost any point.

untrue. Secretary Gresham says that no

The people who dwell in this section
Of the country do not expect that Mr..
Cleveland will say anything in his mess
age that will show friendliness for silver.
They do not cherish the hope that the
much talked Of financial schemes which
are said TO be ia the head Of Mr.. Carlisle
will advance any financial system
pleasing to the masses. Both of
these gentlemen are against the people
on the money question. Nevertheless.
whatever they may hrlng forward will
be interesting. When the president
asked congress 10 repeal the Sherman
law the claim WAS not upon the admin
istration side that al eud TO financial
legislation would he reached in that act.
Mr.. Cleveland probably realizes more at
the present moment that something
lst be done than AZ any time in his
life. He knows jest az well AS any body
that these bond issues must stop. The
credit OF tits great government must
rest upon something more substantial
than the promises to pay every few
months. II he is going to talk to adem-
ocratic congress he will have to do so
right away. The friends of silver will
not be silent. The money question must
be met in some way or other. With this
conviction AS well in the minds of those
who favor a single standard and those
who do not, something must break pretty
soon, be it for good or evil.

Some people are anxious to make out
that this newspaper ie opposed to a new
high school building because it has crit
icised various things in connection with
the recent bond issue. The one doesn't
follow the other by any means. Some
people are very touchy when anything is
said upon the bond subject one way or
the other. However badly the people
want a schoolhouse they are not in favor
of any more $1,000 fees for a job that
cannot stand "a legal test, A good many
things in connection with that bond
issue we're an insult 10 the generosity of

money for a public improvement. We
are not aware that there is any harm in
saying as much.

THE COMMITTEE of the Repu blican
senate caucus, appointed some weeks
ago, on the subject of the admission OF
territories which have applied, has de-
cided to recommend to the caucus q
incorporation of Utah's claim and it
is further given out that the appIica-
tions of Arizona, New Mexico and Ok
lahoma will be favored. Thus it ap-
pears that the admission bills will en-
counter no obstacle this side the White
House and it is given out on the au-
thoritv OF Hon. Mark Smith that Mr..
Cleveland will approve the bill. 1t
was feared that there would be eastern
opposition, but the conclusion of the
caucus will without doubt bind every
Repu blican in the senate so that if the
eastern opposition naaterializes at all it
must come wholly from the Democratic
side. But from the beginning so few of
the Democratic senators have shown a
disposition to cross the admission bills,
that their unanimous passage may be
predicted.

THE WAY OF SAYING 1T.

INA LATE sermon the Rev. DR.. Tai
mage preached from the text, "The
Lord shall make bare his arm" which
the learned Brooklyn divine interpreted
to indicate the infinite reserve force of
the Almighty which no exigency of Gre
alton had called into requisition; nor
had it been drawn upon by any circum-
stance that has arisen in the universe
since creation.
Illustrative of the idea Mr.. Talmage
alluded 10 the ease with which the sun
was caused to break through the mist
and heavy vapors which surrounded the
four days old world. In pitiful con-
trast with the ease with which this il
Illumination was effected the eloquent
preacher turned to the six thousand
years laboriously spent by the human
race in the development OF the present
artificial light If the latter part of the
nineteenth century.
Summing up under this head says
Mr.. Talmage, Il say, and say it rever-
emily, the Lord has not half tried the
Mighty Arm has not yet been made
bare"
Like many of the expressions of MIR.
Talmage, "God has not half tried", is
original and presents in a stronger out.
line the old declaration of Divine ON
impotence.
Many pessimistic persons have heard
in general way without comment the
doctrine of omnipotence. But when
they are told in popular language that
"God has not half tried" these
same persons who do not believe thai
creation was without its imperfections
and that the old world is not by long
way what it ought to be, may ask why
God has not tried. why this infinite
reservoir of force has Dot been drawn
upon to soften and wash away the as
perities of the world and make it as in
fnitely fruitful and the human race as
infinitely happy as the power to do it, Is
infinite.
The foregoing remarks are not to be
taken as an expression of the views OF
The REPUBLICAN on the subject of di-
vine omnipotence, but rather those OF
pessimist upon the improperly OF
even SO eminent a preacher as Mr.
Talmage adverting to a matter which
he cannot fully explain, but concerning
which the pessimist has faith, "that
beam in Darkness" which he trusts will
grow into that knowledge which sis Of
things we see."

James Whi5coinb Riley and His Remark
able 2e}spn1!ity.
James Whitcomb Riley, The Hoos-
Ter Poet, is a solnewhat short, singular

TODD business man, in5anded him for a
professional clreer, but while yet at
school he good-naturedly kicked over
the traces and adopted the trade Of a
travelling sign-paintar. In this role he
acquired all the phrases OF the streets,
the woods, and the field, and laid up
store of homely knowledge and philos-
ophy, upon which he draws with
never-failing success. He started in
literature the master Of two Ian
guages-English and Hoosier. It was
about 1876 that his verses began to at
tract attention, and since 1880 he has
been accounted the leading dialect
poet of the country. Many good stor-
les are told at his expense. He
once travelled through Indiana as
