dices which marked his past political
course; but 1t is hoped his ideas Of

PEACE PROSPECTS FRIGHTENING.

Politicians in Washington do not all
take kindly to the suggestion that in
case of war between Great Britain snd
the United States, President Cleve-
lands denomination and election
would follow, inasmuch as it would be
. bad sime, to use well-worn phrase,
to swap horses while crossing stream,
They cite the fact that the civil war
had vi rtually begun when Lincoln was
inaugurated, and that the reasons
urged for his reelection In 1864 were
very different from those that would
apply to Mr.. Cleveland in Gaze of q war
with England.
In 1864 there was strong peace
party in the United States. The civil
war had dragged on with varying
success for three years, and there were
serious doubts in the minds of many
failure to re-elecs Lincoln then would
have been regarded by the country and
the world at large as an admission that
the war WAS failure 80 far as the
restoration OF the Union WAS concerned,
hence 1t was vehemently urged by the
war party that Linooln's reelection
was necessary to the perpetuity of the
Union, and as result his opponent,
General Mcclellan, was overwhelm-
ingly defeated.
There may be something in this
course of reasoning; but ns President
Cleveland will hold on to the office
until the 4th OF March, 1897, it is
more than probable, II we arc to have
war at all that it will be we'll under
way before the expiration of his pres
emit term. Happily, however, the war
like rumors Of some days ago have sub
sided and the general opinion. both in
ahis country and in England, 10 that
peace will be maintained through the
sound common sense and sober second
thought of the people OF both coun.
tries.
War is terrible scourge, and while it
is not believed by the people of this
country that they would be materially
worsted in conflict with Great Britain,
1T would be far better for civiliz ,tion
and progress that rupture of friendly
rotations should not occur. AS to the
denomination and recollection of Presi-
dent Cleveland, 1t must be remem bored
that he has not yet expressed desire
for another term.
It is. however, believed by many that
he is not averse to being awarded this
great honor, but even should he desire
reelection, 1t will be for the Ameri-
can people to decide that question, and
they will have ample time to come to
conclusion between now and the meet
Ing of the next Democratic National
Convention.

Treasures of the Polar Seas.

In 1909 Count ROmanZoff sent NJ.
HedenstrOm TO explore the NewSiber-
ian islands, fitting him out at his own
expense. HedenStrOm reached LaikOff' S
first island, and was amazed at the pro-
digiOus stores of fossil ivory it con-
tanned; for, although the ivory hunters
had for forty years regularly carried
away each year large quantities Of
ivory from the island. the supply Of
ivory in it appeared TO be not in the least
diminished.
In about half Il mile HedenstrOm saw
ten tusks of elephants sticking up in
the sand and gravel, and large sand
bank on the west coast of the island
was always covered with elephants
tusks after gale, leading him To hope
that there was an endless amount Of
ivory under the sea. Hedenstrom and
Sannikoff went on TO Kotelnoi and New
Siberia, and they found the hills i'll the
former island absolutely covered with
the bones, tusks andteeth of elephants,

brought away 10000 pounds of fossil
ivory from New Siberia alone.-Cham

NapOleOn'S Symbol of the Bees.

The notion has always very general
~ prevailed that the queen of the bees
is an absolute ruler, and issues her
royal orders TO willing subjects. Hence
Napoleon |. sprinkled the symbolic
bees over the imperial mantle that bore
the arms of his dynasty; and in the
country of the PharaOhs the bee was
used as the emblem of Il people sweet
ly submissive to the orders of the king.
But the fact IS, swarm of bees is
an absolute democracy, and kings and
despots can find no warrant in their
example. The power and auth Ority
are entirely vested in the great mass.
the workers. They furnish all the
brains and foresight of the colony, and
both king and queen must obey. They
regulate the swarming, and give the
signal for the swarm to issue from the
hive; they select and make ready the
tree in the woods and conduct the
queen to it.-John Burroughs.
