A young English lady, All ardent
adnlirer of Bismarck, wrote 10 him
some time ago, enclosing her album,
and begged him in high flown terms
to write a few words in 1t, adding that
it would be an everlasting happiness
for her to possess his autograph. Al
though the Chancellor had a great re-
pugnance for this kind of thing, he
yielded to the request and wrote as
follows: always beware, my dear
young lady, of building castles in the
air; they are the most easy edifces to
erect, but the most difficult to de-
molish."

The talk about an alliance between
the United States and England is
subsiding in both countries. This is
well. Formal offensive and defensive
alliances are entered into by despot-
ismS, but never by democracies except
in the stress of actual war, and for
short periods. Russia and France find
nothing incongIuous in the idea of an
alliance, nor do Germany, Austria.
and Italy, but all of those five count
ries, France included, are sufficiently
under military influence to have much
of the character of absolutisms, while
one of them, of course Russia, is an
absolutism without qualification or
dilution. On the other hand, England
is essentially democracy, ana a hard
and fast league with any other nation
would be almost as foreign to her
polity and recent traditions as it
would be to those of the United
States. An understanding between
the two countries will be had instead
of an alliance, which will have all the
latter'S advantages and none of its
embarrassments. The understanding
can be maintained, because the inter
ests and aspirations of each coincide
closely with those of the other, and

The Pop party started out in 1890 to
give bankers and lawyers particular
hell-to ostracise them politically.
When the Pops nominate banker or
lawyer for an office, the Pop party
sings low but if the Republicans sup
port banker or Il lawyer for an office,
these same Pops grow red in the face
in their TRADES of denunciation. In
this campaign the assinine Pop papers
are applauding Lawyer Mccormick
and condemning Reeder because he
