BEsASr AND THE ANGLO SAXON.

In the August number of the North
American Review, Sir Walter BesanC
DIaces himself among the prophets VINO
forecast the possibilities of the Anglo
Saxon race. He is decidedly optimistic
in his observations, and sees no pros
meet of the decadence which often ac-
companies increase of wealth and the
too-often attendant disposition to re
taxation in moral and physical law.
He believes that republicanism will
steadily increase, and accompanying 1t
will come a closer friendship among
the national and colonial divisions or
the EngIish-speaking races. The pc
culiarities of the different sections Will
be such as the difference in climate will
bring about, but in mind and manners
they will be alike.
Another of his happy forecasts is the
prospective abolition of the probabl1-
ties of war by the establishment OF a
permanent board OF arbitration, which
peaceably and join the race in one solid
phalanx against the encroachments OF
any other race or nation. The strength
of the AngIo-Saxon will be such para
mount power that whatever opponents
he may have will not dare TO make an
attack upon him. The natural result,
then. must be a gradual amalgamation
of all races on a peaceful footing.
His picture of peace, which he claims
will be realized among the six English
speaking nations fifty years hence, is
drawn after this style:
Now suppose such board of arbi-
tration to be established. What do we
see in the future? The six nations will
be separate. yet united; each will be
free to work out its own development
in its own way; it will be impossible
for them to quarrel; they will under
stand that free trade between them
selves will be the best for their own in
terests; their press will be courteous
each to each; they will be rivals only
in art. science and literature. Above
all. they will form a firm alliance, of
fensive and defensive, with such nav!
that all the world united in arms woul(
be powerless against them. And as al
example for all the world to see, there
will be the great federation OF our race
an immense federation, free, law-abld
ing, peaceful, yet ready to fight; ten
acious of old customs, dwelling contin
ually with the same ideas, keeping a
their ancestors from Friesland did be
fore them, each family as the unit
every home the center of the earth
every township of a dozen men thu
center of the government.
This is indeed a happy family Il
which he draws attention, and it mus
needs be a progressive family, since
is carrying out the great principI
which united the American federation
and the British colonies as well. Tn
hitch will come in joinin gthe Ameri
can and British forces, the former hav
ing been schooIed in a healthy dislik
OF their British brethren. The ANAL
gamation may come, but it may hardl.
be expected before the day when tn
English-speaking nations are obliged
to join hands to meet the encroachmen
of common enemy.

tho state the Republicans outnumber
tho sound money Democrats seven to

The silveri,es refused the demand OF
the Populists for Congress representa-

gave the National Democrats the candi.
date for Congress in the most noted dis

receive recognition. aside from the fact
that the great issue at stake. the princi-
ple OF sound money. Is the battle-cry OF
both parties. and upon tho success or
that principle the fortunes OF the National
Democrats and Republicans are insepa-
rably linked.
There arc probably 1900 soundmoney
Democrats i'm Kentucky who will not

these patriots rests the responsibility for
the triumph Of population in Kentucky
