claim during the life of his GRANDMOTHER
Perhaps 1T will now be understood what
he meant when he said that the German
army and the German navy will one day
crossst ocean, and again, Great Britain
and Germany are not two nations, but
one. Until recently Froude's discovery
was known but to few persons, but there
is now to be an attempt to make the idea
popular. AT any rate, when Queen Vic
toria l. dies-which may God prevent for
many years-England will experience
great surprises"
So runs this extraordinary statement
The pamphlet tn which allusion has been
made points out that the Queen asce nded
the throne in England as eldest child,
while she was debarred from the Crown
of Hanover because she was female, and
that had any limitation as to heirs male
existed in the Succession Laws OF Eng
land. she must have been debarred the
English Grown also. 1t also points ut
that an English Act of Parliament could,
of course, be passed securing the rights
of the Prince of Wales. but significantly
says that it would be resented and an
nulled by Emperor William H., who in
sists upon, and will maintain, when &C.
oasion arises, mis- rights Of succession to
the English Crown 1t also says thai in

Mckenzie BowelI. the Canadian minis
ter, has succeeded in coaxing back all the
ministers who resigned, except Sir
Charles Topper, and the dissolution of
parliament which seemed close at hand
last week will probably be postponed un-
til next June, when its constitutional
term of seven years is up Then a gem
erai election must be held 1t is never
safe TO predict the result of a Canadian
election, no matter how strong the indi-
cations may be, for the Conservatives
succeeded in the two last elections when
the current seemed to be setting strongly
against them. but the signs certainly
point to Liberal victory. Tho Mani
toba school question has weakened the
Conservatives, not only in that province.
but in Ontario as well, and some recent
bye-elections have seemed to show that
they are not as strong as formerly even
III Quebec.

To enable Miss Clara Barton and the
their errand of mercy an army must
be at their back, for the Sultan has
officially proclaimed that he will not
give his permission for an expedition
for any such purpose The army they
cannot get hence it will be useless for
them to undertake to carry out their
purpose unless in some way the consent
of the Sultan can be obtained. Some
months ago 1t would have been thought
that naval demonstration by the powers
would be sufficient to obtain the
required consent, but as they have been
demonstrating for many weeks without
stopping or even sensibly diminishing
the outrages it is not likely that another
demonstration would have the slightest
effect to change the Sultan's refusal of
relief to the outraged. What the Sultan
fears from such an expedition is that it
would mako a full disclosure of the situa-
tion in Armenia which would SO arouse
the Indignation of the civilized world as
to compel the powers to interfere. He has
managed to hold them at bay up to the
present time by playing off one against
the other AMI if he can prolong the delay
a few months longer there will be no
Armenian question because there will be
no Armenians. Undoubtedly it is highly
desirable from his standpoint to keep the
Red Gross society out of Armenia. and
as there is no way for it to get in except
with his permission he will probably be
successful.

The government loan seems likely to
be success without the aid of the Nor
ganlsyndioate, but the sources from which
the subscriptions are coming are hardly
popular sources Gold bugs like Russell
Sage and bloated monopoists in the shape

subscribing. Probably later on we shall
see a procession OF the plain people from

The flood gates of free silver oratory are
opened In the Senate and there Is no
probability that they will be olosed until
the silver stream has sentirely run out.
That is likely to require a good many
days, perhaps weeks. The difficult thing
to discover about the performance is the
motive OF it. Every one of the senators
knows THAT though he spoke with the
tongues OF angels he would not change a
single vote. They are all as solid with the
silver vote as they can ever hope to be
and they can not expect to educate the
public in this way for they must know
that nobody ever sees their speeches and
would never read them if they did. The
most plausible explanation is that they
do it to strengthen their lungs and keep
their tongues Timber.

Inc sound money Democrats of the
Kentucky legislature have issued pro-
nunoiamento against Blackburn in which
they say that he ought not to be elected
Senator because he did not stand by the
platform adopted by the State Demo
cratic convention The platform was
against free silver. but in defiance
of 1T Blackburn went through the
state proclaiming the gospel of free
and unlimited coinage. Blackburn
might easily retort hat he stood by
the platform quite as we'll as the conven-
tion itself did, since it placed upon it as
candidate for governor one who was
Tociferously for free silver; and he might
add that since the whole Democratic
party turned its back upon the last
National Democratic platform such de-
liverances do not amount to anything
anyway.
