No Alliance with England.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
What England wants Is the power to
step I'm between contending nations and
compel them to cease fighting. More par
ticu.arly. she desires TO keen all Europe
In subsection to her policy. She cannot do
II alone. but she believes that feat possi-
BILE with Americas help. But the whole
idea In preposterous. Strong as England
and America are. their war-making facil-
ties are not so great. either by land or
sea. as those of combined Europe. and
combined Europe would be the certain
answer to an Anglo-American compact.

THE TRUCE or THE LION.

Truce of the Bear.")
Beware of the hungry lion
Whenever he speaks you well:
His words are fair at the mouth Of his
lair.
And as smooth as the road to hell;
But his deeds are dark and bastard,
And his thoughts are OF his nav,
And his chops drip red with the blood he's
shed.
And greed IL his only law.
He's good to see-at a distance
His hide is a tawny silk.
And his eyes beam brighten the far sun
And his mien Is as mild as milk.
But keep him of at "A distance,
And watch him all the time.
And his eyes win glare. and his tawny
hair
Fall out with the mango of crime.
This Is a tale of the lion
That many long years have told
'Tis CLOSED by his whelps. but history
helps
To show what was in the mould:
A man dwell near to the lion.
And for man. a hundred year
The lions paw made the man a law
OF hate and force and fear.
But one year all the misery
OF all the other years
Drove the man amuck. and he leaped and
struck
The lion between the ears;
Then ouickIy sought the shelter
The uightv hound that would shake the
ground
Go heavy i, was with hate.
The timbers creaked and shuddered
When the tawny. living ball
or weight and hate beat on the gate,
But the hut withstood 1t all.
At length the bafied demon
Called TO the man within:
re Nth us a $ 4, has been,
"No peace has been between us"
The man spoke back: my will
Has warred with thine till his hand Of
mine
Was nerved 10 strike and kill"
But the lion swore and promised
His fields should be forever free
60 the man came forth. In the distance
The mans friends came in sight
In armed array. intent to slay
The sinking thing outright.
Rut the man stepped forth and checked
them
And the kill-willed hands were stayed;
For the mast was mast. and twas peace at
last
For the treaty had been made.

Election Echoes.

In our election report last week we
omitted to state that Z. NJ. Bartlett, the
Republican candidate for senator, ran
considerably ahead of his party vote in
this town.
Bloomfield should have been credited
with 81 republican votes for senator in
stead of 4S. The HERALD is not response
BILE for the mistake.
Lexington sends for the first time a re-
publican to the general ASSEMBLY. We
hope she will continue in the good work.
Chas. M. Fletcher of Canaan. demo-
cratic candidate for town representative,
made gain of Is votes, but not quite
enough to elect him. Popularity is
good thing, but votes elect a man to
Office.
Lunenburg die the right thing in elect
ing Hon. F. d. Hale member Of the gen.
eral assembly, and his election gives
great pleasure and satisfaction not only
to Essex county but throughout the
state generally. He will be a strong man
in the house and will take a leading part
in good and wise legislation. We conf
IDENTIFY expect to see him appointed chair
man OF the Judiciary or to some equally
prominent position.
Eight ballots were necessary ere a
choice was made in Victory, but victory
finally perched on the right man, Geo. A.
Colby.
