Between the wings of stormy winds

With fierce blue eyes and eyebrows knit

Upon his lips, like moments Of blue

And golden locks beneath MS hood OF

Sometimes he turns him back to wave

To the Editor of the ST. CrOi1 Avis.

Craving your kind forbsaranoe, we
solicit a little space to call the aktention Of
your renders to a few facts anent our last
correspondence.
Bruised, bleeding, groaning, expiring, your
CORRESPONDENT America" like NeSsus the
diving centaur of old, seeks to be avenged by
%artifce; and in his "patch-up, ort-of-a-reply,"
"barsfacedIy attributes" to truth the defects
which clearly belong to his opponent but
magma est %eeritas, 'et prevGIebtt. Facts are
stubborn things. Let us examine them.
When competent people write for the press
they use quotation maj ks to distinguish words,
clauses, sentences or passages taken word
for word from any source outside of the
writing into which they are inserted.
"America'' in the st. Cr0iS AUis No 50,
referring to the charge of c~orrHpting the
text from Froude. says; II emphatically de-
clare (t) to DO false, as took no extract
therefrom, but only referred to the article
IN e1tenso."
Dear Readers, please turn to Aris No. As
and read for yourselves "Amorioa's" reference
to Froude. and you will see thai the fraudu-
lent, spuliou, and counterfeit quotation APP
pears within inherited commas. So much for
the truthfuluess and honesty of America"
I repeat. Can we be led by him?
Concerning what "Amorlca' calls dis
honest quotations, we beg our readers, who
are interested in the search for truth. to consult
the authorities quoted, and compare the OK
tracts with the originals, and decide for them
selves.
VIVA ever TRUTH quoted, v,rJattm ct htera-
tim, from Salmon or any other author, is pre-
cedsd and followed by two inverted commas,
so TRUTH corrupted 20 text. We do not think
"America'' possessed of such "soft brains" as
not to know the use of single and double in.
verified commas.
What a ludicrous figure would "America'
make were we to portray Il pen-picture of him
in his dual cap loity of accuser and Ii &c and
in his vain attempt to establish the equal
reliability Of two contradictory witnesses
Salmon and Froude?
Is it necessary to remind a "~soalene anglsd''
mathematician of the mathematical truth
'TlIat TWO contrary propositions may both be
false, but Of two contradictory propositions
one Of them must be true, and the other false?"
We are not curious to know who America
is. He may be ans des nOirs. or an albino.
That is his business.
In conclusion, we ask our readers to refer
again to "Americu's" letter in Auis No. 81,
and near the right hand corner at the top

stands self-incriminatsd, Iii -condemnsd.
TRUTH is mighty. and has prevailed.
We close, remembering the following lines
from Shakespeare:
"2ress not a falling man too far tbs virtue;
His faults lie open to the laws; let them,
Not you correct them, My heart wesps toseehim
SO little of his great self.
/ forgive him."
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor, for space kindly
afforded, we remain,
Respectfully Yours.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.

What the Antipodes Think of America,
The Australian Workman, weekly la
Dor paper, says:
As a message of peace and good will to
the nations of the earth, Almighty Ameri-
ca is sending forth challenge to England
to come ON and fight; at least that was the
wording of the first and original message;
but since, as it has been proved that Eng
land is, if not willing, at any rate
game, the bellcose spirit Of the Yankee has
died down trile. In fact, her trumpet
call for war, hot, strong, and at once, was
after all wooden nutmeg. The great Re-
public was all agog for fight provided the
other fellow wasn't; but with the readiness
of Britain, Americas eagerness faded away.
So that the only powder wasted over the
matter will probably be the pounce powder
used for drying the the diplomatic des.
of u little mosquito State
called Venezuela. America will then
come out of the controversy discredited
dog. On the right side Of the fence she
barked fiercely, but as soon as meeting
seemed probable, toned down. Perhaps
the incident will be lesson to the people
of the United States, that is to say the
genuine people who under the forms of
liberalism allow themselves to be enslaved
by a gross plutocracy. If this wretched
Venezuela business does not make them
feel a trife sick of their rulers, their stom-
achs are of the strong and patient kind. An
amusing part of the business has been the

LONDON, ENGLAND.

The PauperiZatiOn of the British
Farmers.
Landlords in Kent letting their land for
period of years for nothing, and giving the
farmers who rent it on those fat terms
bonus for doing so ought to read lesson
to somebody who ought in this case to be
everybody, says London Justice. For Kent
is close to the greatest market for agricul-
tural produce that the world has ever seem
and Kentish land is for the most part by no
means bad land. But the selfishness of Kent
ish landlords, the ignorance of Kentish farm
ers, and above all the greed and misman-
agement of Kentish railroads have ruined
a great industry and have enabled foreign
produce grown and raised on coarse soil to
drive English goods out of the London
market. And what is true of Kent is true
of all England. What hope is there OF
any improvement from the present
Tory Government? Frankly, at present
we see none whatever. Instead
of proposals to nationalize the rail
ways to give the people the opportunity of
learning the great agricultural truths dis
covered and applied for the last twenty
years in the German State farms, this
''strong'' administration is going to subsi-
die the landlord Much good that will do.
But the Liberals are just as incompetent
and treacherous, so our agriculture must
20 from bad to worse. More than 2, 900, 900
of acres have gone out of cultivation in the
last few wears.

The Socialist members of the Legislature
Of Saxony have decided to resign as mem
bers of that body as soon as the new pluto
ratio election law will be adopted.
In the Reichstag the Socialist leader,
August Bebel, in the course OF the dis
cussion of the military estimates attacked
the right of the Emperor to the absolute
enforcement of discipline and authority
in the army. Bebel said that it was
shame that in this age of progress and en-
lightenment the ruler Of country gov
erned by constitution should be entitled
to the autocratic right Of even ordering
men who have gained his displeasure to be
shot without a previous military trial.
He hoped that measures would be intro
duced during the present session to abro-
gate some Of the arbitrary power which the
German Emperot is now permitted to exer-
else over the army and navy. So far do
the Socialists stretch their enmity and so
open are they in its utterance that they
announced their resolve not to attend the
jubilee banquet, which is to be given by
the Reichstag on March 81, in commemo-
ration Of the twenty fifth anniversary of
the creation of that body, simply because
Baron Won Buol- Berenberg, President OF
the Reichstag, is programmed to propose
toast to the Emperor on that day.

death knell of. theKnights ofLabor organiza-

The meeting was held under the auspices

william NJ. Cusick, an ex-member and
former organizer of the Knights Of Labor,

The other speakers were Horace M.
