skillful operators living. He writes
thus: MY first and never forgotten
impression on landing in America
many years ago was that though a
great sea had been crossed | was still
in some inexplicable way at home.
The great English-speaking American
people seemed as much my country
men as those had left behind. This
sentiment has only deepened in subse-
quent years and innumerable acts of
genuine kindness, oyerfowing hospi.
tality and friendship in it's truest and
best sense serve but to enhance it the
more. 1 believe this feeling is gen.
eral one. 1t is entertained, am GER
tain, by all those in England who have
been fortunate enough to meet their
American cousins at home, and with
such feeling as this, which l cannot
but think is mutual, it should be diff
cult, if not we'll nigh impossible, in
deed, to create q serious misunder.
standing between two kindred nations
which might entail consequences dis
astrous to the cause of humanity
throughout the world.

George r. Sims is not only dram
atist, he is a journalist who every Sun.
day addresses lager audience than
any other preacher in England. He
writes: "a peaceful New Year to all
American friends. That it can be
anything but peaceful, all Englishmen
who love and honor the great Ameri-
can people refuse to believe. With
such vast newspaper enterprises on
each side of the Atlantic it will be
standing reproach to journalism if the
present unhappy dispute be not en-
tirely confined to the columns OF the
press and there brought to a speedy,
honorable termination.
GEORGE Il. SIMS"
H. M. Stanley, who is as much
American as English, has this to say
"An old Christian nation is being
slowly exterminated in the East, yet
narrowing and terrible as that fact is,
it e1cites less horror than the fratri-
cidal strife which threatens us as be-
tween England and her foster child
America. All my efforts will be to
promote good feeling, and my prayer
is that the dawning year may restore
confidence and love between the two
great English-speaking nations.

Another popular respected sailor is
Admiral Sir Vesey Hamilton. He
says: my best wishes of the new
year to my friends in the United
States navy, hoping We may all re.
member the words OF Commodore Tat.
nal, on a memorable occasion never
to be forgotten by the British navy,
Blood is thicker than water

In line with this sentiment is the
following acknowledgment by the N.
Y. World OF the message of peace sent
by high dignitaries of England, which
was published in the London papers Of
the 30th, by special authorization of
the Prince OF Wales:
New York, Dec. %, 1S95.-To His
Royal Highness, the Prince OF Wales,
Sandringham, England: Your
Christmas message OF peace and good
will was deeply appreciated, and had
an important effect. The reaction is
almost complete. Conscience has oh.
tanned mastery over impulse. The
World thanks you for the wise and
bold words spoken at so critical
time. 1t is also becoming to acknowl-
edge with profound respect the elo-
quent and impressive message Of con.
cord and amity received by the World
from Cardinal Logue, primate OF Ire
land (who cabled from Romeo; Cardi-
nal Vaughan, archbishop of Westmin-
ster; DR.. Walsh, archbishop of Dublin;
Lord Plunkett, archbishop OF Dublin
and Kildare; the archbishop OF Ar
magh; the archbishops OF Liverpool
and Manchester; Mr.. Gladstone and
Lord Rosebery. 1t is hoped here that
the logic and unprecedented express
sion OF kindliness of the greatest dig
nitaries OF church and State may yet
lead to the arbitration of dispute 80
trivial that it could remain unsettled
for seventy years. Surely among all
the scholars, statesmen and rulers of
the world, there must be one who as
arbitrator will meet the suggestion OF
Lord Salisbury that he should bs
competent and free from bias" The
surest hope OF lasting peace rests upon
The enlightened moral sentiment
which you have voiced. and which We
feel shapes the course of government
in England, not less in America, and
continues the progress of civilization.
