IN THE TIME OF RAIN.

Between the hazel tops we saw
A sevenfold mystic bow,
Spring stainless from the cloudy flaw
Which darken'd earth below.
Above us swayed the dropping branch,
Each dainty leaf and slender shoot
Bow'd by a silvery avalanche
That brimm'd the grasses underfoot.
The yellow gorse on every bush
Bloom'd brightly. sweet with showers;
thorn was kindled with a blush
OF unexpected flowers.
A breath of lilac thrilrd the rain
Till on our lips it fell divine;
And primal springs immortal pain
Shook natures breast with pangs d.
vine.
What did we then desire TO say
a speech could not evoke?
what g.adness in our hearts that day
To poignant being woke?
An. surely. voiceless as We stood.
Dumb with the glory of the morn,
Some impulse Pass'd into our blood,
or truth and desthless beauty born!

GERMANY AND THE WAR.
Some Comments Suggested by Ambassador
Whites Fourth of July Speech.

nv III VI Suly spcSshs
From the Baltimore American.
The speech of Andrew ID. White, our
ambassador to Germany. delivered at
Leipsic p? the Fourth, deserves notice,
IL only from the frank and manly way
in which he reviewed the relations be-
tween the United States and Germany.
The tone of the speech showed that the
ambassador felt keenly the bitter pref
udice exhibited by a portion of the
German press and people against the
United States. but he refused to accept
this as the sentiment of that portion of
the Germans who act upon mature re-
Election. Moreover, Mr.. White relied
implicitly upon the official sur
given to the United States. There can
be no doubt of this bitter feeling in
Germany, and of its being more wide
spread than is pleasant or wholesome.
Why there should be such a sentiment.
or what has caused it, no one has yet
successfully pointed out.
Their are, perhaps. a number Of
causes, each one insufficient in itself,
but combined this may account for the
prejudice. The Agrarians, moreover,
have so persistently waged war against
American products that 1t would be
strange had they not managed to work
up some prejudice against the Amer
lean people. There has been exciting
competition between German and
American traders at various points IF
the globe, and especially in Central
and South America, which has led 20
friction and prejudice, and has reacted
on the people at home. None of these
things is sufficient TO make a people
hate another people, and the Germans
feeling is not one of hatred. 1t is more
like jealousy than ANYTHING else. but
1t is not the sort of jealousy TO last
long or to lead to serious results.
1t is not so extensive as the British
press has led the world to believe. 1t
is more than doubtful If the majority
of Germans harbor unkind feelings to-
ward Americans. There are few but
have relatives in this n and
they do not learn such sentiments from
the latter. There are no truer or more
valuable citizens in the United States
than the Germans, nor are there any
with a higher appreciation of the coun-
try and its institutions. Their infiu-
ence goes back to the fatherland, and
may be relied upon to correct this
temporary outbreak of passion and
prejudice. Meanwhile, as Ambassador
White says, the assurances of the en-
peror and his government stand. They
are, after all. the deciding factors in
GermaTy's policy, and their honor is
pledged. This is said not so much be-
cause of anxiety concerning Germany's
attitude, which is not of very great
moment to the United States. but be-
cause the German people are virile and
enlighteOed-in fact, one of the fore
most races of the earth-and the Amer
ican people prefer to be on friendly
rather than un~friendly terms with
them.

SEA WATER AS MEDICINE.
Unpleasant to Take, but Beneficial In Its
Effect.

Eject.
When a bather at Atlantic City the
other day accidentally swallowed a big
gulp of sea water and then rushed off
to get a drink of whiskey to take the
taste out of his mouth a successful
medical practitioner who had wit
messed the performance turned to a
writer for the Washington Star, and
said:
That man is either a greenhorn or
a fool. Otherwise on such occasion ne
would have taken merely a sip or two
of lemonade and allowed the sea water
to do its work. AS a matter of fac5,
one of the most beneficial features of
a sea bath is the salt water inadvert-
emily swallowed by bathers. IL is a
wonderful tonic for the liver, stomach
and kidneys. In many cases it will
cure biliousness when all drug prepar-
atoms have failed. 1t is peculiarly eff
fective in ordinary cases of Indigestion,
disordered stomach and insomnia, and
has been known to produce excellent
results in many cases of dyspepsia.
"Clean sea water. such as is to be
had at any of our numerous fashion
able seaside resorts, is full of tonic and
sedative properties. 1t won hurt any
body. Indeed two or three big swal-
lows of it would be of positive benefit
to nine bathers u of ten. 1t is not. If
course, a palatable or tempting dose
to take, but neither is quinine or cal
omel. You seldom, if ever, see an old
sailor who is bilious or ~dyspeptic, or
a victim to insomnia-and why? For
the reason hat an ocean of good med
icine spreads all about his sky n he
doses himself copiously with it when
ever his physical mechanism becomes
the least bit deranged."

Weyler Had a Little Interview With the
Queen Regent.
London, July 1S.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard says: Ad-
miral Camara's squadron and his trans
ports have finally reached Spanish
Mediterranean ports on their return
from Port Said. Genera Weyler a an
audience of an hour with the queen re-
gent to-day. He expressed himself as
very grateful for her majesty's gracious
welcome, but he assured her that recent
events had not modified his opinion as
to Cuban affairs.
The Chronicle this morning says 1t be-
lieves that the conference between the
queen regent inc General Weyler means
that her majesty is trying by her per-
sonal influence to dissuade the "hyena'
from violently adopting the Carlist
cause and taking his military adher-
ents with him.
The Chronicle says: SPANS anxiety
as to Gibraltar is quite g~roundless, but

When IL Comes To Terms.

HE Ions end of his war will re
the tail end-it is the time that
will be consumed by SPANS
sponsors at Madrid in getting to terms.
The haggling at Santiago with General
Toral is a foretsste of what is to come.
Respecting the preliminaries to the
war, as also in regard to its actual con-
duct. the aim of our government has
been to push things to a conclusions;
the effort of the Spaniards, at every
turn. has been the opposite; their chief
occupation has been to promote delay.
Their fleets have spent their energies
In the effort to get as far away as pos
armies have been in force at points in

to expedite them will be through the

In dangerous nearness to SPANS At
lantic or Mediterranean ports. Spanish
diplomacy in this business seems al
ways to revolve around the expectation
that through a policy of procrastination
Madrid may manage to get the govern
ment at Washington into some tangle
with formidable powers of Europe. For
the intervention Of one or the other of
these, Spanish ministers have labored
faithfully: not adroitly. to all appear
ance-at any rate, not successfully, as
the event proves.

question of separation from the home
country be submitted TO the vote of the
Cubans. That is to say. call the war

at about washington's birthday. just
as II nothing serious had happened.
1t may even be that Madrid will
manage so to manipulate the PROPOSE
tions for peace as to bring the United
States into active diplomatic decker
with some Of the powers. We shall
be negotiating with a European state;
were other European states to demand
a hearing, hat would be no novelty: a
few days ago the Standard mentioned
one or two modern-day instances in
which several powers, having nothing
whatever to do with a war. have assumed
to take a direct part in the final adjust
ment. and. indeed. to dictate the terms
of peace. And, in instances, irst-class
European powers have felt obliged TO
accept this interference and dictation.
Respecting this contingency. the peo-
pie Of the United States. as with one
accord, take an optimistic view-the
accepted theory in the United States IS
that, in such event, there would
promptly be a lining III with combined
Great Britain and the United States in
coalition against n of them or all of
Them: n the hopeful expectation is
that no combination in Europe could
run up successfully against the Anglo
Saxon formation.
