the situation, which nov impresses itself
on everybody. The Paris correspondent
of the London Times goes so far as to

sword and declares that If Bonaparte
would now appear he would destroy the
French republic at one stroke. This ut
terance is too extreme, but il is impos 81.
bic to deny that the present calm is omi-

The antl.Jew prejudice. which was the
chief feature of the popular agitation be-

and its place has been taken by cries of
"Ftve PArmee' on one side and give Ia
Republique" on the other. The latter
cry Is now smaller and weaker, but it
Will not long continu. SO if the French
people once gain true understanding of
the situation.

THERE arc two kinds of national
refo, mists nowadays, one wants to
increase the volume of money and
the other desires to abolish money
altogether; the former is retrograd-
inc while the latter has not, as yet,
made much progress in securing a
general acceptance of his ideas.
The knowledge gained by past ex-
perience will prevent us from turn
ing back in our tracks only to
lose time in the onward march to-
wards a higher plane of intelligence
on the subject. The process of
evolution is necessarily slow, but
the enlightenment of humanity has
been steady progress from the
dark days Of primeval man to the
present cry; therefore, who knows
but what the views we now reject
with abhorring skepticism may be
accepted in few succeeding gen
erations as the ideal process, and
10 wonderment at the obtuseness OF
those who lived in the present age
and called themselves enlightened.
The visionary of today is the prac-
hcal man Of tomorrow.

The sinking of the United States
battle ship, Maine, which occurred
in the Havana harbor through an
explosion on the night of the 18th
instant, which also caused a loss of
26O lives, is meeting with prompt
and vigorous investigation by this
government. If it is found that
the explosion occurred outside the
ship, the responsibility of the dis
astcr, with its attending offense to
the United States, will be prompt
d charged to Spain, and immediate
reparation demanded, at the cost OF
war if need be. While the investiea
tion is going on preparation are be

place the country upon war foot

resent any insult to their flag.
