DOUBTLESS A SURPRISE.

When President Kruger Wis

ago, the English residents, with
national courtesy, tore down the
flag of the country under which
they dwelt by sufference, but the
President of the Transvaal said
nothing. He had the splendid

patience as that of Grover Cleve.

THE New York Evening Post.
edited by the bold Britain, E. l..
Godkin, says that 1.-The Ameri-
can Congress has already acted
on the Armenian question and
it's unanimous vote has been that
the Turkish butcheries may go
on" This remarkable vote has
not been spread on the records
of Congress; buG what Mr.. Cod
kin, in his heated condition,
means is, that by Directing to the
%spoilation of Venezuela, Cor
gress has diverted England from
Furnishing the Sultan Cor his

years OF deliberation-and might
have gone so far as to request

career, when President Cleve-
lands hint on the Venezuelan
matter completely upset the Ori>
entail programme. Nobody but
Godkin would have guessed it,
though.

PROFESSOR Won Hoist, of Chi
cago and of Prussia, Herr Josef
Pulitzer, of New York, and
Hesse Cassell, Professor Mac
Vane, of Harvard, and Prince
Edward Island, Rev. DR.. John
Hall, of New York and County
Armaugh, and Rev. Pickles, of
Boston and Nova Scotia, are
among the eminent american"
scholars and divines who regard
a war between the United States
and England as a ''crime against
civilization" and know more
about the Venezuelan boundary
than anybody else in North or
South America. Two of them
are professors of history in great
colleges. We do not look for
much patriotism in the ranks of
college professors. One of them
a professor of psychology at
Harvard, offers a personal prob
lem in his line of research by
calling this "a buffoon govern
ment." Yet another critic of
the President says he under>
stands, "that Mr.. Cleveland is not
a college man." Let US hope he
is not, if these be fair specimens
of college training in the paths
of patriotism and good sense.

A STORY.

The Herald has news from
Shanghai that the Queen of Ko-
rea was not, as was supposed,
foully murdered last October,
when the palace was attacked by
the adherents of the Kings
father and a band of japanese
Soshi. On the contrary, while
her mother, the minister of hel
household, and several of her
women were being butcher ed,
she hid herself and subsequently
escaping from the palace grounds
is now alive and well, though
zealously guarded.
The Herald further informs US
that the object of the abortive
attack made on the palace some
weeks after the supposed murder
of the Queen, was to free the
King from Japanese influence,
and bring the Queen back from
her old position of power. Also,
that the Russian Secretary OF
Legation was deputed to escort
her Majesty to the palace if the
plot succeeded, but as it failed, il
became necessary still to keep
the fact of her existence a secret.
The Herald's news involves many
high officials in a very romantic
conspiracy, and, if true, is most
remarkable.

A great European war might
temporarily help this country, as
it would draw a vast amout of
men from the ordinary channels
of industry and thus create a
demand Tor our manufactures.
But war can be Of no permanent
benefit. It means an immense
amount Of property destruction
and consequent impoverishment;
and the world is so firmly bound
together by the ties of commerce
that an injury to one part Of it
nust ultimately tend to the inju>
ry Of the whole.

RIGHT AND REASON WILL PREVAIL

AS the Philadelphia Times
says, the decided attitude taken
by the administration with res
gard to the Venezuelan dispute
has had the effect it was plainly
intended to have, of convincing
the English people and Their
government that this country is
in dead earnest in it's determined
opposition to European encroach-
ment on the American continent.
The display of earnestness as
tonished the English at first.
They supposed that the criticism
they had encountered came only
from irresponsible jingoes and
that the nation at large was
quite Indifferent to the question
under dispute: so that the uni>
yersal protest against Lord Sal
isbury's position, which found
expression in the Presidents
message and the prompt action
of Congress, threw them into
panic, and the frantic efforts OF
a few timid people here to make
believe that the nation was not
as united as it seemed, did not
help the situation.
The truth has gradually inn
pressed itself in London, as il
has among these frightened folk
at home, that the nation is very
much united and that its attitude
so far from being truculent, is
SIMPLY that which it's dignity as
the guardian of American inter
ests not only justifes but de-
mande. With this recognition
has come a gradual but very evil
dent change in the English atti
tude. It has been seen that the
Americans are not bent upon
war, but aather are insisting up
on the principles of peace; that
the quarrel is not of our making
but of theirs, and that the way
out of it is still open to their gov
eminent.
No doubt this change in the
English temper has been helped
by the events in Africa, which
have not only emphasized the
Importance of keeping on good
terms with this country but have
strengthened conviction of the
logic Of the American doctrine.
The whole tone Of the London
dispatches indicates a DISPOSE
ton, official as we'll as popular,
to satisfy public opinion in the
United States, and on this side
we ought to abstain from further
deliverances that will make this
any more difficult. The Presi-
dents message, with the appoint
ment of the commission, was a
sound and sufficient declaration
of the position of the United
States, and on that we can safely
rest.

A Retiring Summer Giri

For the Dispatch)
Oh, cruel hour! oh horrid fate!
That made me SO disconsolate;
The crowded hall. the music gay,
Had not the power to drive away
The feeling that beset me.
Now. would you know the reason why
! lonely walk and naught but sigh,
My very soul bereft OF fire?
1t Is because you did retire
Last night soon after tea
Yet with the return OF another day
My sadness soon was chased away:
The Sun himself In splendor bright
Was even eelipsed by my delight.
The seeing you did make.
Your majestic smile and comedy grace
Excelled in sloftiness the place;
But. alas! an arrival did beguile
From me the pleasure OF your smile.
And my leave must take.
oh. cruel hourl oh, horrid fatel
That makes me so disconsolate:
No crowded hall, no music gay,
Nor nothing else can drive away
This feeling that besets me.
Now. would you know the reason why
lonely walk and naught but sigh,
My very soul bereft Of fire?
II is because you did retire
Your humble servant-see?
