simple republicans. Among them are
the jew Astors and the Dutch Wander
builts, examples of putting beggar OIL
horseback. These monarchists will
leave no stone unturned to make this q
monarchy, but they are too smart not
to know that it must be done slowly
and carefully. Those wealthy New
York monarchIsts are the very set on
which Mr.. Cleveland has all his life
gazed as the peri gazed into heaven
from which it was forbidden entrance.
His course in regard to Cuba proves
him more of a sympathizer with the
crown of Spain than the heroic Cubans.
Among the monarchists of the east
ern states are DotoriOusly certain
college professors who have made Yale,
Harvard and John Hopkins univer-
sites hotbeds of treason and toryism.
In short we are at point IN our history
when Patrick Henry's saying that
sseternal vigilence is the price OF
liberty" comes to us with especial force.
There is II well-paid and ably conducted
monarchist press in the east too, one
of whose organs is the Forum. In n
late number of it-Some months ago
there was an article by Prof. Sidney of
Johns Hopkins, that had for its title the
declaration that the true policy of the
United States is Il treaty of friendship
and alliance with England, and the
principal reason was that it would
enable England TO keep less expen-

brutality and oppressiveness towards
weaker nations by "a ing that they
could not do rs well for themselves rs
England could do for them.
We have read good deal and still
do from the papers that are in the pay
of the monarchists, us | believe two of
the principal papers in this state are,
about "ihe Two English-speaking
nations" the sstwO branches of the
Anglo-Saxon race There is moth
ing that q people loses as easily as its
language; there is nothing that is of
less consequence. If this is good for
anything it makes the Martinique and
Louisiana negroes as near to the Paris
ians as the French Canadians are. 1t
would make the white people of the
south nearer to their old slaves of pure
negro blood than to the white Castil-
ians of Mexico. 1t is one of the most
nonsensical of arguments that weak
cause ever needed to use. As to the
term, Anglo-Saxon, it is very hard to
find what it means.
The absolute fraud in this treaty is
shown IN the choice of the King OF
Sweden as final arblt. ator. There has
been the greatest friction between him
and the Norwegians for several years,
and all that has kept him from carry
ing out his plans for despoilIng the
democratic Norwegian people of their
ancient rights is that the Russians have
supported Norway. In return for this,
Norway has given Russia privileges IN
the harbor of Varanger Flord, where
Russian and Norwegian territory come
together. Thus the King of Sweden Is
sandwiched between the Norweglans
! and Russians both his enemies-and
the sole friend on whom he can rely
