The foresight OF Demosthenes as a
statesman was we'll exhibited i'm the
matter of Megalopolis. That city had
been founded by the Thebans in 371 B.
C. as am outpost and barrier against any
advance on the part OF Sparta, in order
that she might remain within the
limits that Thebes' had prescribed for
her after the battle of Leuctra- The
Spartans had long been FESTIVE under
this restraining curb and sought a re-
adjustment of the Peloponnesus. To
obtain the consent Of Athens, It was
cunningly suggested that a restoration
to each state of all it's former territory
would bring back to Athens, Oropus, a
wrested from her by the Thebans. This
Measure commended itself to many Of
Demosthenes' countrymen aind they
were SO blinded by 1t as to forget the
former treachery Of Sparta, but the
great orator himself was never IN op-
p~ortunist and looked to the absolute
Justice of each as the ground
oil his approval. He saw, too, that 1t
would be greatly detrimental to his
country to assist in building up her old
rival Sparta 1t was extremely unfor-
tunate for Athens that she rejected
that sound advice, for as 1t resulted,
Thebes was able to keep the city out
Of the grasp of the enemy, and when
again she needed help, she turned to
Phillip, who thus gained a foothold in
the Peloponnesus from which he could
not be disturbed.
The frstPhilippic fits into this period
as the keynote Of Demosthenes' idea OF
the proper relation OF Athens to the
rest of Greece. She must be supreme
and yet the defender and protectress Of
all the other states either against in
Justice on the part Of one state towards
it's sister or against incursioas from
people not Of Hellenic blood. The pres
ent embodiment OF the threatening for
eign foe was Philip, who began t. make
clearer his intention OF subduing
Greece. In alternate passages of the
speech. Demosthenes encourages them
by portraying their possible achieve
ments and rallies them on their love of
ease and pleasure, yet is intensely
practical in suggesting methods OF
preparation for defense and attack. 1t
is a proof OF his untamed perseverance,
his logged obstinacy, that no failure
to rouse his countrymen to a sense OF
their danger seems to dampen his ar
dor. Perhaps he knew that such a re-
suit was to have been expected from an
Indifferent populace in an effort to
make them look beyond the simplest
necessities of physical existence.
In his appeal in behalf of the Rhod-
ians he accomplished no more than
with his Philippe. although it is diff
cult to realize how it was that the
Athenians failed to be moved and to

This is going to be big summer sea-

way. The number of inquiries coming

who state that their attention has besn
called to some beauty spot of Maine, by

educational campaign of Vice President
Tucker cannot fail to BIZ of immense ben

Havana, Nov. 23.-Captain- General
Weyler arrived here, this evening,
from the province of Pinar del Rio.
His return has caused much comment,
but as yet it is impossible to learn the
true reason for his leaving his COM
mand and returning to the capital.
The military authorities will vouch-
safe no information on the subject.
Official reports concerning the move
ments of the troops in the field give
only accounts of skirmishes. with
trifling losses on either side. No news
of any moment has been received
from Pinar del Rio.

point where the dynamite was placed,
but little further on a rail had been

struck it the engine was thrown into

Weyler will not only affect his prestige

This he has failed to do. although his
