VICTOR AND VANQUIsHED.
From the Bookman.

From the Bookman.
Through the crowded streets returning.
at the ending of the day.
Hastened one. whom all saluted as ne sped
along his way;
In his eye Il CLEAN of triumph, In his heart
"a joy sincere,
And the voice of shouting thousands still
resounding In his ear.
Passed he meath Il stately archway to-
ward the goal of his desire,
Till he saw womans figure lolling Idly
by the fire.
81 have won" he cried eXultant: 81 have
saved IL cause from wreck.
Crushed the rival that | dreaded. set my
foot upon his neck!
Now at last the way is open, now at last
men call me great.
| am leader OF the leaders | am master OF
the State''
l.anguidly she turned to listen with a dec
orous pretence,
And her cold. patrcian features mirrored
forth Indifference:
"Men are always scheming, striving Cor
some petty end" said she.
Then a little yawn suppressing, What
is all of this to me?'
Through the shadows of the evening as
they quenched the sunset glow,
Came the other, furing homeward with
detected step and slow:
Wistful. peering through the darkness.
till he saw, as Oft before,
Where woman stood impatient at the
threshold of the door
81 have lost he faltered family. "All
is over with d groan;
Then he paused and gazed expectant at
the face beside his own.
Two soft eyes were turned upon him with
woman's tenderness,
Two white arms were flung about him
with a pa SSionate caress.
And voice of thrilling music to his mute
ly uttered plea
Said, "If only you are with me. what is all
the rest to me-
All night long the peoples leader sat in
silence and alone.
Dull OF eye, with brain unthnking. for
his heart was turned to stone:
While the hours passed all unheeded till
the hush of night had ceased,
And the haggard light returning tiecked
the melancholy east.
But the other, the defeated, laughed a
laugh of merriment.
And he thrust his cares behind him with
an infinite content.
Recking not of place and power and the
smiles of@those above,
For his darkness was iilumined by the
radiance OF love.
Each had grasped the gift of fortune.
each had counted up the cost.
And the vanQuished was the victor. and
the winner he that lost.

bitration will cease If, upon the report OF

our own instance, we should come 10 the
conclusion that the claim of England 10
the territory to be withheld from arbltfa-
ton, is well founded. So that In its final
essence. the cause of our proposed war
with England is the following doctrine:
In DISPUTES between foreign nations, pro-
vided one of them be or the western
hemisphere, II becomes the duty of the
United States, on its own notion and
without the request of either of the par
ties, to determine whether or not the dis
pute shall be left to arbitration. and, If
the determination be In favor of arhi-
tration this determination must be sup
ported by immediate war against the ma
ton refusing TO arbitrate. 1t is for this
doctrine-be il designated by the name OF
Monroe or Cleveland-and for none 9th

our fortunes and our lives and endang'I
the existence of our nation. The very

We soon find that. after all. it ii is not so

for all applaud the presidents plan TO
discover whether England is right or
wrong. and therefore admit by implica-
ton that England may he right in her
contention. In fact. the president himself
yielded to this often expressed antago-
nism. OTHERWISE he would have appointed
a commission first and threatened war
only after that commission had declared
England TO he wrong. The basis OF those
warlike speeches and editorials. and or
the message itself, can therefore he
