Even from historical standpoint
there is nothing illogical in the sugges-
tion from England Of an Anglo-Saxon
alliance. This is mot the first time
that the United States have shown an
aggressive policy in dealing with at
fairs in the West Indies or that Eng
lish sympathy has manifested Itself.
The idea that the most advanced mn
tions are governed entirely by selfish
motives and have NO regard for the
claims of humanity. should be gotten
rid OF. The Monroe doctrine ITSELF
grew out Of the irtoierable conditions
existing in Cuba. John Quincy Adams
carried on the negotiations which led
to President Monroe's famous mcskage
and the doctrine promulgated was as
much m expression of England's wish
as of our own determined policy. Cam
ming suggested it and we adopted 1t. the
British cabinet approving.
The Cuban question was reduced to
a definite problem in 1883, when Presi-

of avoiding constant difficulties. say.

men since the commencement Of the
current trouble.
Mr.. Trollope did not like the as-ertive
tone of the message any more than
many Europeans now like the de
termined stand of the government in
the present crisis, but he rose above the
mere inspiration Of selfishness and
wrote: Looking at the question in .
broader point Of view, one which re.
CARDS future ages rather than the pres
cnt time, one can hardly refrain from
rejoicing at any event which will tend
to bring about that which in itself Is sc
desirable. There must be some stage In
misgovernment which will justify the
interference of Outstanding nations, in
the name Of humanity. That rule OF
life which forbids man to come be
tween husband and wife is n good rule
But, nevertheless, who can stand BY

THE OLD CIRCUS MAN.
ClowA's That Used to Please

"Some of the feats and tricks of oEt

that look so wonderful" said the old
circus man, ..are really as simple n
rolling OF log. IL you only know how
they are done. We used to have clown
at one time who was also very good
acrobat, and he was humorous in his
antics as well rs in his speech, and
everybody liked him. He always wore
a black mustachc. with the ends neatly
waxed and corkscrewed, and one of the
funniest things he did depended for its
success ON these waxed ends OF bis
mustache.
AFTER an unusually intricate piece OF
fcolery that called for good deal Of
exertion, he would pause. painting, in
the ring, and turn to the ringmaster.
".Well, I'D give a dollar and = quar-

get worth 10000 was unearthed. The
result of this sudden influx nf wealth
almost without labor, and with risks
which are infinitesimal as compared to
the Klondike, was the temporary demor-
alization of the population. Melbourne,
in the height of the gold fever, has been
described by one who knew it wei! as "a
fevered, drunken, delirious pandemo-
num-" The lucky ones-and there were
thousands of them-squandered their
riches in the most reckless fashion.
Some of their fantastic tricks would
scarcely be credited were they not at
tested by witnesses still living. The
game of ninepins, we are told, was
played with bottles Of champagne, for
which he who broke least had to pay;
dozens of the same costly wine were
emptied into tubs, and drunk from tin
pannikins, spirits and beer being added
to give body" to the beverage; one
man, in imitation of Caligula, shoed his
horse with gold; sandwiches made of
bank notes were devoured; silver
wrapped up in bank notes was thrown
