thing itself than at the present mo-
ment. What do we see around US? The
whole of Europe is little better than a
standing camp, numbering millions of
armed men, while a double row of
frowning and opposing fortresses
bristaes along every frontier. Our har-
bors are stuffed. and the seas swarm
with iron-clad navies. to whose num-
bers, l am forced to admit, England
her modest quota. Even in the re-
hottest east the passion for military
expansion has displayed an unexpected
development.
I'm fact thanks to the telegraph, the
globe itself has become a mere bundle
of nerves, and the slightest disturbance
at any one point of the system sends a
portentious tremor through it's morbid
ly sensitive surface. We are told by the
poets of old that when Zeus nodded the
golden halls of his Olympus shook to
their foundations. Today it would suf-
flee for any one of half a dozen august
personages to speak above his breath
or unwittingly to raise his little finger,
and, like in a. heaven overcharged with
electricity, the existing conditions of
unstable equilibrium which sustains the
European potLtical system would be up
set, and war, waged in circumstances
of greater horror than has been hitherto
known to the experience of mankind,
might eventually envelop not Europe
alone, but two-nay, all the four-con-
tinents at once, since in every one of
them representatives and offshoots of
the contending nations would of neces-
sity be brought into collision.
1T is to prevent catastrophes of this
kind, that we meek, civil-spollen and
mild-mannered persons have been in
vented. Looking at US, you will per-
haps say that we are a poor and feeble
folk and that our calling is a sorry
preservative against such dangers; but,
such as it is, it is the best device that
human ingenuity has been able to dis
cover. After ali, a very thin wire
proves a. perfectly effective lightning
conductor, and for over eighty years,
thanks to this unpretending agency,
an unbroken peace has been main
tanned between your native land and
the country with whose prosperity and
welfare your own interests are so
closely associated"

RLACKRURN .AND BLAIR.

They tell a. good story in Washington
on Joe Blackburn. He had an exciting
argument in a senatorial cloakroom at
Washington several years ago as to the
relative value of brandy and whisky as
mans greatest boon. In the midst of
the argument the stoical prohibition
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, en-
tered the room. Forgetting the we'll
known total abstinence tendencies Of
the New Englander, Senator B. ackburn
appealed to him to settle the dispute.
81 do not know the difference between
whisky and brandy" replied Senator
Blair, with face as passive as a Jap
anese doll. After Blair had departed
Blackburn's eyes actually moistened
with sympathy as he shook his head
sadly and said: Poor old man! His
stomach must be in awful shape. =

LANDMARK IN POLITICAL HISTORY.

That the Democratic national conven-
flor of 1896 will stand forth as one of
the mountain peaks in political history
is certain If its candidates win and the
principles it has set forth prevail, cur
rents which have been flowing and
gaining in volume ever since the civil
war will be damned and turned back.
If they fail in this election, the bait lie

Where Heth the land of Bohemia?
Is it enchanted ground?
Unto the place no guide or trace
Was e'er by searching found.
Yet many wander through it
In blindness or in scorn,
And some there dwell who love it we'll;
They are Bohemians born.
Here lieth the land of Bohemia
Strange light upon it beams,
This border land, whose outer strand
Nets in the sea of dreams.
Behind us roars the real,
The world of strife and din;
Our kindlier fate is here to wait
Until our ships come in.
O'ershadowing Bohemia,
Fame, like a mountain grand,
Piercing the skies, uplifts our eyes
From this the lotos land.
The summit CLEANS in splendor
And beckons spirits bold
Fain would we go, yet, ah! we know
The heights of fame are cold
Here, resting in Bohemia,
Beside the waters still,
In meadows green, where Hippocrene
Winds as little rill,
We deem in pleasant places
Are cast our lines and lives,
Where grace and heart are more than art
And chivalry survives.

retiring British ambassador, said:
But whatever may be the ups and

unpromising the posi- he occupies, may
