UNDER a form of Government in which
every Intelligent man is in some degree
politician and statesman, there is an
ever-pcrvading temptation to discuss all
public events with partisan bias. At
this moment there is an approximate
suspension OF that tendency. A few
blatherskite politicians, who thought
the present conflict was merely con-
tinuation OF an old war, had to be sat
upon early. They have been quoted,
and for the time party lines can hardly
be discerned. The campaign of 1898 is
