THE SEA KINGS

Since the Golden Hind went round the
Horn and circled world unknown,
Wherever the tides of God have beat the
winds of God have blown,
From the sunrise seas to the sundown seas,
by the storm and the splndrift whirled,
The sons of the men who sailed with Drake
have ruled the water world.
And whether they sail from Plymouth Hoe
or out of the Golden Gate,
They are brothers in blood linked heart to
heart and to resistless fate;
For the quenchless ardor to rule the seas
which time can never slake,
Makes the same blood race through Dew
ey's veins that throbbed from the
heart of Drake.
And all the way out of Trafalgar, down
into Manila bay;
The Anglo Saxon has sailed and fought and
struggled and won his way;
And wherever the tides of God may beat
and the winds Of God may blow,
It will be tomorrow as it is today and 1t was
In the long ago
James Lindsay Gordon in New York Sun.

Hostilities Against Britain

The history of the last few years shows a
succession of hostilities against England
from all sides and in all quarters, none the
less aggressive, none the less dangerous,
than if they had been conducted in actual
warfare. Look at the intrigues of France
IN Egypt, in Siam, in Nigeria, in Madagas-
car or the Nile; look at the encroachments
of Russia in Persia, Afghanistan, the Pa
Mrs; look at the characteristically prudent
and cautious but none the less real hosti-
ity of Germany in the Transvaal, in Zanzi-
bar, in Samoa; look today at the unanimous
exutation of the continent at the blows
which are being struck at the prestige and
commercial interests of England in the
east. Everything seems to show that Eng
land must either make ignoble submission
to European aggressiveness which seeks
to bleed her by fair means or foul, or take
the risk of financial ruin, of possible eff
facement as first class power, in a des-
perate contest with the monster armies of
her neighbors, to whom she appears as the
one great obstacle to their igus.--Sydney

Africa Becoming British

The victory of Omdurman, the last link
in a chain of wellplanned and ably execut-
ed operations, bestows on Great Britain the
empire over the whole Nile valley, /,
French post at Fashoda and the garrison
of the Congo state at Lado will hinder only
very temporarily the Uganda protectorate
with the Anglo Egyptian dominion. France
will scarcely feel inclined, for the sake of
an imaginary position on the Upper Nile,
to run the risk of having her fleets sent to
the bottom of the sea when she expects so
much of them in the war of the future for
Alsace and Lorraine. English diplomacy
has always been able to arrive at an under
standing with the king of the Belgians. The
British flag floating over the ruins of Khar
tum is its conclusion, and this means that
Africa, from the source of the White Nile
in the Victoria Nyanza to the entry of the
great river into the Mediterranean, is in
corporated with the British empire.-Ber-

impending Trouble in Pennsylvania

The decreasing use OF anthracite coal, con.
sequent upon its high cost, threatens serious
disaster to Pennsylvania What with the
profits of shipping companies, intermedi-
aries, carriers, etc., the ton of anthracite
coal for which the mine owner gets only -
or $3.50 costs the consumer so large sum
that consumption is cut down wherever pos
sible, and cheaper fuel is substituted. But
is it not possible for the state of Pennsyl,
vania to check this alarming tendency!
With coal selling at - or $3.50 at the mines
and the miners working at starvation rates
why cannot the product of the mines be de-
ivered to consumers at good deal less than
present prices! Why, indeed, should the
men who work in the mines be thus ground
down in wages? And is the state in any
