To De Quinccy.

When we read great names, names
ITO conjure with" 1t Is sometimes hard
to believe that the men to whom they
belonged Ns're ever browbeaten by pub.
fishers or crushed by critics. Even De
Quincy had to be brought to a sense
of the realities Of this earth, hazy phil.
OsOpher as he was, and while he was
yet new contributor to .BlackwOod's
Magazine the publishers addressed to
him this sharp appeal. In the ligl; of
his literary glory, 1t Is interesting read
ing:
"Jan. g. 1921.
II must tell You frankly, at once, that
your mode of furnishing articles will
neither answer your own purpose nor
mine. For instance: This article which
you have not yet finished, you positive
ly promised TO lave with me complete
on Tuesday by . O'Clock.
"No doubt You may have had many
unavoidable causes for the delay; still
this Is nothing to man of business
who, as he adhercs to his own engage.
ments, expects equal punctuality in
those who engage with him.
1T Is quite unnecessary, as I have
dgain and again told you, to make any
inquiry as to whether an article will be
in time. A good article is always in
time"

people know nothing about. 1t would
surprise n good many Europeans to
learn that the shipping that passes
through a canal connecting two of the
great North American lakes is consid-
erably larger thar all the shipping that
passes Through the Suez canal. Ameri-
ca, we say, has tens OF thousands of
first-rate seamen, whereas there are
hundreds of men serving at present on
board German warships who
saw the sea till a year or two ago. And
the sailors trade is the most difficult
trade in the world to master.
For these and other reasons we be-
lieve that America will not be stopped
in her imperial progress by German
bluff nor daunted by Franco-Russian
menace. We should not wen now be
afraid of the issue of a conflict between
the United States navy and that of
France. for the American superiority
as gunners would give them an enor-
nous advantage; but in such a conflict
we should probably take a hand and
probability would change to certainty
II Russia dared to support her ally.
The truth is that a new power of the
very first rank has pushed itself among
the nations. and our hopes that there
was at least one people who preferred
peace to power and security to self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT have been disappoint-
ed.
Now, how will the advent of this new
power affect the European equilibrium?
Even if we do not take at the foot of
the letter. that newborn affection
which the Americans o profess for
us, IL seems to be plain enough that the
circumstances which have brought
about the reconciliation between the
two kindred peoples will go on making
for n closer and even closer union be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. After all. we have the same
blood. the same religion, the same in
situations, the same democratic gov
eminent, the same language and the
same tastes. We both love trade and
commerce, and a working mixture OF
freedom and equity before the law to
which no ether people has attained.
From the selfish British point of view,
then, we hope that the Americans will
take both the Canaries and the Philip
pines. and if they wish (Which is I'M
likely for a port on the coast of China
besides, they should have our help in
getting it.
The weary Titan that Matthew Ar
mold spoke of. with every muscle
strained by the weight of empire, chal-
lenged on this side and on that by new
competitors, menaced now and then by
a combination of envious enemies, sud-
denly finds standing by his side a stall
wart son, who, though he has his own
place in the world and his W am
pitions. yet seems inclined to say that
the old Titan shall always have at least
fair field, and, perhaps, IL the worst
to the worst. some little favor.
And that is the way we Britons feel
about America.
This fact that the two nations which
stood against each other at the begin
ming of the nineteenth century o
stand together as friends, If not as
allies, will probably turn out to be the
most important fact in the history of
the twentieth century.-London Satur-
day Review.

some of Frank w. Mondell's friends are
urging him to make the rae for con-

he could get It II he did want it. but

THE NEW WORLD POWER.

Porto Rico as well. and. II the Span

Those who think America will be re-

or her people. The seamen on b Ger

may well be that William the Witless

mistaken in this assumption. The
Americans are not . people that

The Republican learns that the DEM

paper at the capital. to be run during
the campaign. 1t will be a silver paper
and will doubtless be a duplicate OF the
abortive Silver Herald, published at
Cheyenne during the campaign Of 1896.
