WILL JOHN BULL FIGHT?

New York Sun: To conduct hostile operations upon our coast successfully would be a task inn possible on the very face of it. A few seaports might be damaged, but | that would be all The landing of an army would be futile thing. The | United States are so large that there i is no single point where a dangerous wound could be inflicted. It would take a bigger army than the world could find transportation for to main tain itself upon our shores. By the time that it had reached here the Ma tion would have rallied for defense, as as it did upon the calE of Lincoln.
 New York Sun: Leaving out of consideration the ease with which we could seize Canada, the United States is the one nation on the globe that could do immense damage to Eng lands widely scattered commerce. Her carrying trade is so large that with her fleets needed in many di- rections, her merchant marine would be at the mercy of a cloud of privateers that could be speedily fitted out at American ports. Our cleverness in enterprises of this description is well known. Lord Salisbury is not with out information on this point, nor is the duke of Devonshire, the head of the committee on national defense.
 Brooklyn Times: England knows that to accept the wager of battle with the United States in such a quarrel I would shut her merchants Forever out of the South American markets, which it has cost her so much to gain. She knows that while her floating batteries I might inf1ict temporary injury upon a few of our seaboard cities, the loss of l Canada and Ireland would be heavy | indemnity for all the injury she could inf1ict The manly ,resolute and stern1y American utterances of the president in this matter are the best safeguard against war. England knows better than to maintain an untenable quarrel against nation equipped with the re- sources of the United States

Ihe Democrat regrets that the COM
mon council, at its meeting on Tues.
day evening, did not see fit to accept
the Library and Reading Room gener,
ously rendered to the city by the
Woman's Reading club. We believe
that with the Library as permanent
city institution, as contemplated by
state law, all of our people would
feel perfectly free to avail them
selves of its privileges and benefits.
The members of the council who
voted against accepting the library,
without doubt acted conscientiously in
the matter. But The Democrat be-
lieves that the refusal t. accept it was
an error of Judgment. Such an insti-
tuition is surely needed in the COM
munity. 1t will fill a want, long felt,
1t ought not to be published to the
world that Mineral Point is behind in
matters which make for educational
advancement progress in things
which tend to a higher civilization.
1t is but just to the members of the
council who voted against accepting
the library to say that each one of
them, personally, gave it substantial
encouragement, and publicly expressed
themselves as favorable to its estab-
lishment, but not by the city. The
library will be success. AS stated in
this paper, two weeks ago, we believe
that the effort put forth thus far by
the promoters of the enterprise is but
the beginning of the grander work
which is to follow. The union of the
people of Mineral Point, regardless of
political or religious creed, laboring
for the common purpose of furnishing
the young people of the community
with good, wholesome literature and
surrounding them with influences
which will keep them away from
temptations that might otherwise
allure them, is surely consummation
devoutly to be wished. To the mind
of The Democrat it is practical Chris
tiauity. All credit to the women who
are leading in the worthy cause. The
lines of the club have broadened from
the first, and its membership will in
crease, until even common councils
may deem it well to respect its wishes.
A very pleasing entertainment was
given in the High school room last
Friday evening by the Mineral Point
High School Literary society. The
program consisted of essays, recita-
tions, vocal and instrumental music,
the following pupils taking part: Clara
Burghardt, Lulu Cooking, Harry Brown
Flora Bambrough, Edward Buss, Lizzie
Day, Mamie Bishop, Bert Bennett. win
Blewett, Will Bennett, Mabel Allen,
Jessie Hooking, Daisy Lanyon, Villa
Jacka, Anna Uren, Cecilia Horn,
Dollie Gribble.
The Democrat learns with regret of
the death of Mrs. Mary M. Kirk
patrick, wife of James c. kirkpatrick,
Of Rewey. She was great but
patient sufferer from consumption for
over two years. She was loved and
respected by wide circle of friends,
who extend to the bereaved husband
and family heartfelt sympathy.
The convention of county superin-
tendents held at Madison last week,

Mr.. We'll on behalf of the school
board then addressed the council In re-
