LET us stop all this pickering about
long service and short service about
first-call men and eleventh-hour men. 1t
delights the soul of the soldier-hater, and
him only, to see us disputing. Nothing
pleases him so much. He does all that
he can to foment dissensions. When he
tries to set the three-year man against
the three-months man it is because he
hates both, and the three-year man
more, if possible, than the other. Let us
remember only that we were all COM
rades in great cause, and each did his
share according to his opportunity, and
that a pension of So month was fully
earned by every man who put on the
uniform and honorably performed the
share of the work assigned to him.

THE DIPLOMATIC SITUATION.

|
THE DIPLOMATIC SITUATION.
In the long history Of Europe there
has rarely been smch a middle In
diplomacy as the past week has seen.
First came the report that Russia and
France sided with Germany against Eng
land, and that the Kaiser had asked Por-
tugal to grant permission to march Ger
man troops across the country from Della
goa Bay to the assistance of the Beers.
Then that England was hurrying troops
to the Cape of Good Hope, and that
every shipyard in the Three Kingdoms
was working night and day to get an
un usually large feet ready for an ex-
petition to the Cape. Then that Presi-
dent Kruger had demanded the abro-
CATION Of the suzerairty, and entire in
dependence for his country Then that
Queen Victoria wrote letter to her
grandson, the Kaiser scolding him in
a very maternal way for his naughtiness
to England. Next, that the Kaiser had
assured the English Ministers that his
note to President Kruger was sent i'll a
moment of annoyance and irritation,
and that he really felt the most friendly
sentiments toward England. Next,
that Russia would not enter into the
coalition, but rather sympathized with
England. Next, that France would not
Join the coalition, but that Russia would,
and next, that Germany would play the
hand alone. Then, that President
Kruger had not asked for an abroga-
ton of the suzerainty, but that he would
demand an indemnity of several mil
lion dollars for the assault upon his
country Then a general and specific
denial Of all these reports, and an asser-
ton that the English feet was really
being prepared for decisive demon
stration at Constaptinople in conjunc-
ton with the movement of heavy col
umns of Russian 'tro5rs across the Rus
sian frontiers. 7as(
The truth is that, the diplomats of
Europe are repleNed as they never
have been. They are all distracted by
powerful considerations of interest which
draw them in OPPOSITE ways SO strongly
that a straightforward course is almost
impossible. England has the only def
mite policy, and that is to get all she
can anu hold ON I'd it. Russia, Ger
MANY, and France are each bitterl J
anxious to curb her, or actually break
her down, if it could be done without
risk of building up their other COM
petitors. Germany is especially eager
to break down England's influence in
Europe, but she is fearful of driving
England into an alliance with France,
which would make the situation very
dangerous for Germany. Next to Ger
many, France detests England, and will
do all she can in safety to down her.
But until the dispute with Germany is
settled, France does not want any active
enemies that she can avoid.
All around the situation smells Of
gunpowder, and any hour a spark may
be struck which will set the whole of
Europe in flames.

WHEN all the advantages of the Ser

Election Of the condition of business generally,
and on the strength of this New York claims
that the times are improving. There are from
II 600 TO Ii 900 marriages a year in the city
in ordinary times, but the panic Of 1893 fiat
tened out the matrimonial boom, and it staid
fattened until after the elections of 1894, when
the issues of licenses looked up. In 1895 the
number of marriages was about 10000.

The San francisco ArgOadHt has come to the
sage conclusion that it is really the woman who
marries the man. Conceited fellow, he rarely
imagines it, but the facts indicate that the
woman picks out the man she proposes to
marry, in four times out OF five succeeds in her
design.
The English papers do not say word about
Kaiser Wilhelm playing for q third term and

If there had never been any Monroe Doc

Kaiser wilhelm got out an AIrIcan edition

duck hunting, too?

When President Cleveland spoke Of a "men-
dacious aud sensational newspaper" everyb body
knew at once that he meant the New York
World. If he had said an English toadying

doubt whether he had the New York Times or
EreRiRg Post in mind.
Senator Blackburn says he is going to devote
the rest of his life to restoring the ascendancy
