The Source of Jingoism.

Prof. John Fiske's differentiation be-
tween jingoism and Americanism is
timely and to the point. He tells the
simple truth when he says that much
of the lingo talk of the last two years
has come from the advocates of war
tariff and an unsound currency, and it
has served as political trap into
which 1t is melancholy to see certain
persons blindly walking, from whom
better things had bene expected.

however, 1t is not the will Of the people

speech. Mr.. Borah did not reach to
the height of eloquence which usually
characterizes his efforts. There was
evidently some lack Of accord between
the words that fell from his lips in
smooth and regular cadence and the
sentiments which glOWed in his heart.
But Mr.. Borah is brilliant, instructive
and entertaining upon all occasions
and this was no exception. The con-
Vention was in labor long time for a
period the result seemed to be en-
shrouded in doubt and uncertainty.

"THE spirit that exhibited itself in

strangely enthused that Bryan himself
likened it TO the zeal that possessed the
crusaders when they responded to the
impassioned appeals of Peter the Her

Lord from the hands of the inlidels.
His historical illustration was more
potent and more forcible than he
knew; for che zeal of the crusaders
was blind and ignorant zeal; they
sought to rescue the transient and in
effectual sepulchre that had held the
body of the Son of God, while they
