that it is assured that the nation

money in circulation, there will
be no raids on the gold reserve,
and it can be maintained at the
800, 100000 limit as long as the
receipts of the government are
kept up to the expenses. The Me-
Kinley administration will doubt
less attempt to reduce the national
debt as fast as the Democratic

Towne "makes statement in
which the first sentence IS to state
that he is mot crushed by defeat. y
Of course, he is not, but his defeat
is the worst personal humiliation
that any candidate IN the campaign
suffered. He turned against the
men who elected him, and repu-
dated the principles he advocated
in his previous campaign. He
boosted that the people would elect
him by 1900 majority, and
strutted about the district as a
great servant of his conscience,
and as working for the welfare of
humanity. He was nothing but a
plain, flat traitor to his party, but
his eloquence carried many Re.
publicans with him. There were
still left enough loyal Republicans
to defeat him, and they never
faltered IN their determination to
punish him for his treachery and
place a reliable Republican in con-
eress from this district. While
Towne is certainly not crushed, he
should realize that the Republicans
of the district are particularly
elated over his defeat. No other
general or local result was receiv ed
with such joy and satisfaction by
Republicans of the Sixth district.

Crisis Last "Casta Diva"

Mme Grisi made sad mistakes in her
declining years. Unlike Jenny Lind,
she never knew when to leave off. She
retired, but found life insupportable.
The fact is. unlike Mario, she was quite
an empty headed person, with no pur.
suits or interests apart from the stage
Of any power of occupying herself.
Grisi came back to the concert room
when far too lame to attempt the stage.
I heard her sing at the Crystal Palace
somewhere in the sixties. Shs was born
in 1Sl2 and died in 1859. She impru-
IDENTIFY tried "Casta Diva her great
song in "Norma, but reached her high
notes with a painful effort. The old

dess of the stage when Rubini, Taglia-
fico, Mario and Lablache had lifted the
Italian school under Rossini, Bellini,

pitch of Intoxicating popularity, but to

Naval Experience.
Unhappily for naval science-happily
for all other Neutrality-suspicious. dur
ing the 40 years of the life of modern
warships has been rare and inconclusive.
The effect is that the opinion of naval
architects and naval officers is left halt
ing between experiment and experience.
And the very infrequency of actual
fighting at sea during period in which
the navies Of the world have been COM
plete]y transformed is liable to lead to
one sided or vastly exaggerated esti-
mate Of the historical data at our dis
posal. There is tendency to exa]t the
weapon which has proved it's efficiency
most lately into the one ponderable
factor beside which all others may be
neglected.
The school of experiment needs correc
tion, but the school of experience often
lacks balance. It is apt to forget that
the experience which it generalizes is
always fragmentary and often irrele-
want Thus, after the American civil
war, with its Merrimac and it's Moni-
tor, armor became the one thing need
full. After LISA, because Tegethoff hap
pened to sink the Re d'Italia, the ram
was to be the deciding factor in all fu-
ture combats. The engagements on the
Danube and Black sea coast in 1877 and
1878 brought about similar apotheosis
of the torpedo. And the China-Japa-
nese war is likely to SOW as confident
conviction that the navy which has
quick firing artillery and high speed
has every necessary element of force to
secure an impregnable. supremacy

The Young England Party.

Largely under Disraeli's inspiration
tho Young England party was formed.
He was on terms of close friendship
with its leading members, who were
young men of the highest rank and dis
tinction. It was at their wish, not less
than in pursuance Of his own impulse,
that Distraeli gave literary expression
to their common views and aspirations
in the trilogy Of political romances, of
which, though 'Tancred'' is said to
have been the most highly esteemed by
the author, the teaching Of "Coningsby"
and 'Sybil" is by far the more direct
and impressive. Its purport has already
been indicated. 1t was to recall the
English aristocracy to realization Of
the true splendor Of their position and
the immensely Of their RESPONSE bilities.
1t W as to Undue them with passion of
pity for the wretchedness and degrada-
ton in which multitudes of their fellow
countrymen were plunged and to con-
vince them that their power, as the
natural leaders of the people, to discover
and apply remedies for the prevailing
evils had not been lost, had not indeed
been essentially impaired, either by
the reform bill or by the circumstances
OF its ultimate passage into law.
1t would be quite inaccurate to say
that these books sketched out policy.
They endeavored to create, or rather to
revive, temper. And they conveyed
the confident belief that if that temper
were revived and took worthy nantes
tations in the lives of the aristocraoy it
would awaken grateful recognition and
secure all needful forms of practical
support on the part of the masses of the
people. Quarterly Review.

And smoothed my scowling browi
PLAYED q churlish part that night

For IN anembrance will endure
