GREAT BRITAIN AND GERM4NY.

The sensational article on English AnXieties. "
which appeared a fortnight ago IN Die Ham
burger Nachrichten." was attributed directly TO
Prince Bismarck. That 1t was his. or was in
spired by him. Is by no means evident. die
Nachrichten" is commonly called Prince Bis
marck's paper, and he doubtless is able to make
use of its columns whenever he wishes 10 do so.
But he Is neither It's editor nor its censor. nor
does every article 1t prints necessarily reflect his
opinions The general tone of this article is,
moreover such as to discredit the theory of his
authorship Not even his well-known hatred of
England would lead him 10 blurt out so wild
an attack upon her when there was no possible
end to be served thereby But whether the artl-
Gle was his or not. and whatever its purpose, It
seems to have fallen decidedly fat. 1t has been
widely copied and commented upon. but there
is no indication that 1t has caused any disqulet
or added in the least degree to the supposed
anxetes of the British Government and people
If the article Is to be believed, Great Britain
is Mt the mercy Of France and Russia. Their
united fleets could easily destroy hers, opening
the way for their armies 10 invade England and
dictate terms Of peace in London itself This
Great Britain realizes. and hence her anxiety
and the feverish zeal with which she Is bidding
for the friendship and protection of the Triple
Alliance. All of which is very fine. from the
anti-Britsh point Of view; or would he II there
were any tangible or visible foundation for IT,
As matter OF fact. however, not one item of il
bears the stamp Of crcdibllity. The French and
Russian fleets united might he stronger than
the British fleet. but even that Is doubtful. Still
more doubtful Is It that they would be enough
stronger TO he able 10 destroy II. when 1t would
be at home and on the defensive and they abroad
and on the aggressive. Would those two Pow
ers venture TO leave their own coasts undefend
ed while they s'aked their all in nm attack upon
their island enemy: II Is scarcely to be be
leyed. But II they did, there are plenty of ex
nsr, and imnartial naval authorities who are

Whether or not Gleason committed perjury
thirty years ago In swearing that he was only
eighteen years old when he really twenty
is question more important In Long Island
City than the validity of the Bull unigenitus or
the proper boundaries of British Guiana. 1t
concerns his Official status well as the legality
of his administrative acts and. Of course, has

standing. One of his countrymen. Intercepted

the incident was outlawed II IT ever occurred
In the latter case he might find an excuse in
his youth and inexporence. and In the slight
prospect at that time that he would ever be-
come important enough to have 1t raked up
against him. He had not then grown his mus
tache nor put forth the bud Of his political
talents which has since expanded into bloom,
and his battle-axe had not yet been lifted into
the awed and dazzled eye of history. In fact.
Gleason was then only rudment bearing the
same relation TO his fu-blown self that the
tadpole bears to the monarch Of the marsh.
He was anything and any age you please. and

NERVOUS ABOUT THEIR PLATFORM

Here is the financial plank Of the platform
adopted at Chicago, which Mr.. Bryan said met
his absolute approval:
I'VE demo nd the free and unlimited coin
age of both silver and gold Mt the present
legal ratio OF 10 to l. without waiting for
the aid consent Of any other nation. We
d emu nd That the standard silver dollar shall
be IA full legal tender. equally with gold. for
all debts, public and private. and we favor
such leRisIntfon will prevent for tho
future the demOnetizntiOn of any kind of
IegaI-tender money by private contract"
Since getting n notion of the popular opinion
Of this declaration Mr.. Bryan has been trying
to run away from it and amend it by the add
ton of words which at the Convention his
friends declared they would have none Of. This
Is not surprising. The wonder would be if any
body could be found who in calm moments
would not be ashamed Of such platform. The
declaration Of the Republican Convention on this
subject was as follows:
1--WE unaIternbIy opposed to every
measure calculated TO debase our currency
o Impair the credit of our country. We
are. therefore, opposed to the free coinage
OF silver. except by international agrecmcn N
with the leading commercial nations of the
world, which we pledge ourselves to pro-
mote, and, until such agreement cnn he OBJ
tnined, the existing gold standard must he
preserved"
Republicans are proud Of that plank Hon
esty is in every line Of it, They have no need
to sneak new things into their platform.

pressed his satisfaction with the progress Of
the campaign up to this time. The headquarters
here are In good running order, and The chair
man intends to divide his time for the coming
three months nearly equally between Chicago
and Ncw-York. From his observations thus far
he Is convinced that the Republican cause Is
steadily gaining ground While, to use his own
words Mr. Hanna is not worrying about the
result no one Is better aware than he that the
work of the campaign Is yet TO be done, and that
q great deal of the hardest kind of work needs
10 be done between now and November.
