of Madison, Yates md King; also the
following anecdotes:
When the convention trAt opened at
Philadelphia. there were q number Of
propositions brought forward as great
leading principles for the new govern
mcnt to be established for the United
States. A copy of these propositions was
given to each member, with an injune-
tion to keep everything a profound Sc
cret. One morning, by accident, one of
tho members dropped his copy of the
propositions. WHICH, being luckily pick
ed up by General Miffiin, was presented
to General Washington, our president,

bates of the day were over and the ques.

extremely so, for, putting my hand in
my pocket, l missed my copy of the

table, my fears soon dissipated. l found
it to be the handwriting of another per-
son. When went to my lodgings at

that no person ever owned the paper.

Uncle Sam To BE a Great and Actual Pow
err in the World,

er in the World.
Continuing the senator said: ut is
now manifest that the United States
will be at the conclsion of this war a
great and actual naval and military
power Many thousands of her citizens
will be trained to modern warfare on
land and sea. The military spirit has
inspired the people. They have been
raised to higher plane of patriotism.
The additions to our fleet have been
very considerable and that fleet will
never be less. The appropriations for
its increase, already liberal, will con-
tinue to be so. The astounding victories
of Commodore Dewey and Commodore
Schley have convinced our people of the
vital Importance of the sea power. The
organization and operation of a great
army and navy will teach them their
own strength.
THE Monroe doctrine in the sense of
an intention by this government to in
tervene to prevent entertainments by
European nations upon the republics of
the western hemisphere has been con-
firmed and has received a steadying
force. The press of continental Europe
has adopted during the last few years
fashion of resenting even any theo-
retical assertion of this great prin-
ciple of American security which
was recently characterized by
Prince Bismarck as a doctrine of 'un-
common insolence.' 1t is now probable
that any European power will deliber-
ate before acting upon that assumption.
The unpleasant relations which have
existed between the United States and
England for so many years were caused
by traditional aversion, which was
aggravated by certain events of our
civil war and by many minor irritating
controversies. But through all this il
has been felt by the people of both coun-
tries that a tie binds them together,
however much they may irritate each
other by straining it. 1t is
very plain that change of sentiment
or expression and of the general contour
of the relations between the two ma
tons has taken place.
The conviction, heretofore only i'm
perfectly felt and only partially. infre-
quently and fitfully acknowledged, is
now clearly operative and is openly
and spontaneous expressed, that the
125 COO. 600 who srvak the English Ian.
guage, who have established represent
