seems to have started many thousands 81
EngIishmen to crying for peace. Even
the prince Of Wales and the duke Of York
have declared for peace. Il looks az i

Whatever else we may saw Of Great
Britain and her people, however high the
rank 1e may assign to her among the
nations of the world IN the matter OF
progress, we cannot deny that she has
been from first to last, and is today, 50
far as the acquisition to territory is con-
cerned, the thief Of the world. st. Paul
Globe.
About month ago it was we'll under
stood, in diplomatic circles, that Great
Britain was preparing to lend hand to
Spain in aid of her Cuban enterprise. Tits
now noted that she has concluded to
keep her hands off. Was it the clear and
decisive reafirmation of the Monroe doc
trine that produced change of heart?

Lord Salisbury says of international
arbitration that sit has proved itself val
liable in many cases, but it is not free
from defects Just go. When your adj
versary is bigger than you are, arbitrate
by all means. But if he is little fellow
without friends, let him have it at once
in the cervical region.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Senator Hill thought he was waxing
quite sarcastic when he alluded to Mr..
Teller as "the gentleman who halls from
the wilds Of Colorado" But we would
rather have Senator Teller's knowledge
of finance in the wilds of Colorado than
Senator Hills ignorance of the same sub
ject in the City of New Ycrk.-Colorado
Springs Telegraph.
1t IS Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, of
Harvard, who calls the people of the
United States ignorant and barbaric, %
and the applause which they gave the
Venezuelan message "brutal." Prof.
Norton should stick to his last. He is
man of parts, but he knows more about
Dante than about anything else, and his
pessimistic utterances on public affairs
are usually calculated 10 exasperate per-
sons of broader and more modern inter-
ests.-Pioneer Press.
History records that once, in an Asiatic
war, Portugal captured the tooth of a
sacred monkey from Siam, and refused
to return 1t until a ransom Of So, 100000
was paid. Some of the Governments OF
Europe have been in so many transac-
tions of this kind under the sacred shad-
ow of what, they call international law
that they think that elastic code justifes
everything from petit larceny to mas
sacre.-St. Louis Globe Democrat,
Now will be a grand chance for Rus
STA to cross over into Armenia and end
the Turkish atrocities. This would be a
harder blow to England than it would
be to Turkey, for England is the hacker
of Turkey, and her cowa1dice and treach-
cry to the case of Christianity and hu-
mainly are responsible for the outrages
in Armenia. The blood of the 100000
murdered Christians in that province is
on England's hands. England's petty
jealousy of other nations and criminal
selfshness have bolstered up twelfth
century Asiat1c despotism in Eastern
Europe, and she sits idly and stolidly
while this despotism perpetrates atroci-
ties which recall the savagery of Genghis
Khan Louis Globe Democrat.
