with that irreverence peculiar to them,
as a man who made bluff without the
means of making his bluff good.
When a provincial politician goes off on
his own accord to talk about war with a
nation like the United States, or, indeed,
with any nation, he shows himself to be
in need of guardian. He has no under
standing of his real position, and he as
sumes the task of tickling the ears of
the groundlings at the risk of sacrificing
his own reputation for intelligence. This
is what Mr. Laurier has done; and not
all the waters of Lethe will wipe out the
stain that he has left on his own ca
pacity for state affairs by doing so.
Whatever consideration 1t is which
makes it appear so essential to the well
fare of the Dominion to secure a port
in Alaska they have succeeded in going
about the task in the wrong way. The
bullyism which they resorted to in con-
nection with the sealing fisheries was
comparatively effective; and doubtless it
was thought that it would be equally eff
fective in this case. But conditions off

himself as a politician was in undertake
ing to talk about war with the United
States without getting permission of his
mother, England.
There will probably be neither war nor

will be shown to be of as little worth as

GOOD MAN GONE WRONG


One of the most remarkable instances
OF strong man torn away from his in
tellectual and party mornings is that of
Col. Watterson. of the Courier Journal
For twenty-five years the colonel has
been the beau sabreur of Democracy His
blade has flashed ever in the fore front
of the battle, and his was voice of in
spiration to every true man in the Dem
ocratic ranks.
OF late the colonel has gone wrong.
The star-eyed goddess has forsaken him.
He is now mostly the object Of imperial
list praise, mingled occasionally with
little contempt. His friends of old have
but federation, and not much of that, to
extend toward him. Nowhere is the colo
mel received with the old-time enthusi-
asm. His opinions are not sought; and,
like most of those whose opinions are not
held in especial esteem, the colonel seems
very lavish of his But as they are usually
couched in explanatory terms they are
not as much a subject Of concern to the
world as they once were.
When not explaining why he entertains
certain opinions Col. Watterson is usual
ly busy in unfolding expansion, some
times known as Imperialism; in minimiz-
ing the significance of the trust growth,
in denouncing free silver at any ratio,
in sneering at W. J. Bryan and abusing
the rank and file of the Kentucky Democ-
racy. There are ringers" in Kentucky
and they are mostly Republicans This
appears to be the only reason left why
the colonel does not avow himself a Re-
publican, support the Republican ma
chine in Kentucky and thus increase
somewhat the degree of respect which
attaches to him in his political relations
One of the coloneTs Republican friends
and allies recently turned on him and
told him how inconsistent and unreason-
able he was in giving even nominal sup
port to the Democratic state ticket in
Kentucky. The colonel forthwith pro-
ceeds to indict one of his interminabIe
explanatory essays, which he brings to
close in the following superb burst of
humor:
Go to, dear friend of Chicago, go to.
Take good care of your own fences,
sweetheart, our fencing is all right Be
tween the still-house and the hog-pen
there are a good many things in Ken
lucky politics that are not dreamt of in
thy philosophy, old sport; and, as the
Archbishop of Canterbury observed to the
Pope of Rome, here's how!
The colonel was always disposed to be
tocose even in the most serious situations.
a fact which helps to explain the cir
cumstance that the above is by far tho
best portion of the two columns of type
from which it is taken. But if the colonel
would put his fences in state of per-
nlanent repair by enclosing himself
within the Republican pasture, the occa-
sions at once for explanations and hui
NOR would disappear. Col. Watterson
would be on better terms with all around
him and doubtless on no worse terms
with himself.

PERUVIAN CONGRESS.
Message of President PIerroIa En-
Enthusiastically AppIauded.


Enthusiastically AppIauded.
LIMA, Peru (via Galveston, Tex.), July
2S.-President Pierrola today opened con-
gress. The house was crowded with
members OF the ministry, with officers
of the law, delegates and the general
public. President Pierrola read his mes
sage. He said that the relations of Peru
with other nations were peaceful; that
the government had accepted the invita-
lions extended to Peru to take part in
international congresses during the past
year; that a special mission had been
sent to Bolivia to strengthen the union
between the two countries. Consider
able disappointment was felt at the fail
ure to reincorporate the Acena and africa,
but the character of the protocol, which
awaits only the sanction of the ChtEan
deputies, Is such that support will be
given 1t by the Gillian government. and
the commercial interests involved rem
der it undoubted that a permanent and
satisfactory conclusion of the matter
will be arrived at.
The message also says that the revo-
lutionary movement which has been 60
ing on is gradually succumbing, more be-
fore the resistance Of the people than
through the efforts of the soldiery. Peru,
President Pierrola added, had made great
progress economically, the commercial
business of the year exceeding that of
the previous year by more than 100000
soils. The public treasury condition was
much improved. The budget for 1900, he
said, presents no deficit.
At the conclusion of his message Presi-
dent Pierrola was enthusiastically APP
plauded President Pierrola also an
nounced the acceptance by Peru Of the
Washington postal convention.
