For some time the British press took
on a decidedly hostile tons towards
this country. Many newspapers
thought it might come to pass that a
war with Spain would mean a war
with one or more other European pow
ers. The Messenger never took that
view. England's friendly attitude
would prevent France and Austria
and Italy from taking a hand against
us. They had quite as much on hand
to attend to at home as they could
manage well without involving them
selves with this great republic and
perhaps with the greatest naval power
Great Britain. A great change has
taken place latterly. American sue
cess has had a cooling influence upon
friendship for Spain that was at first

toned down nc little, and now there
are more open expressions in SYM

that German and French newspapers

in their comments upon the progress

HOME FOLKS

Probably the recent hailstorm that
passed over many eastern counties
was the severest known to this genera
ton. The accounts as to Halifax,
Warren and lower down go to estab-
lish this. When sheep, hogs and poul-
try generally are killed, and great
down, it really authorizes the state
ment that the storm was the severest
known to our old friend "the oldest in

There IS much talk Of a treaty Of al
lance being formed between the United
States and Great Britain. 1t is under
discussion, but not yet negotiated.
Among the questions considered is the
recognition Of the Monroe doctrine by
Great Britain, n another one is the
construction Of the Nicaraguan canal by
our country, Great Britain to have the
use of it in time of war. This country
is to stand by Great Britain in its Eas-
tern policy. These are some Of the
important points With the pressure to
go out and capture territory n extend
the ownership OF this country it will
come to pass after the treaty is formed,
if it is formed, that the United States
shall go at once into the building of
a great navy irrespective Of cost. It
will be a positive necessity.
