The French authorities seem to be pro-
ceeding upon the theory that the terrible
explosion at Toulon was not an accident
but the result of the unspeakable deviltrv
of some villain. 1t was at first thought
that the disintegration of smokeless pow-
der in the magazine had caused the ex-
plosion. Had that been shown to be the
case, ii would have been sufficient to ex-

From the Atlantic Monthly.
For what we have received, o God,
We give thee gracei
Our tide of fortune was at flood;
We were content to live for gains;
Our flesh was faced and our blood
But tamely tinetured in our veins.
Thou sawest and didst lift thy rod:
Stern was thy face.
For what we have received, o God.
We give thee grace!
For what we have received, o Lord.
We offer thanks!
Such soul of pity for thine own,
Suffering worse than only death.
AS made The heart in US to groan
AS groaueth one who travaileth.
Not peace thou gavest, but a sword
To us, thy ranks.
For what we have received, o Lord.
We offer thanksi

Gen. Gomez said the other day that the
Cuban army consisted of $4,000 men and
officers. of which about % per cent. were
officers. Now Inspector General Roloff of
the Cuban service has made a supple
mentary report, in which he says the army
consists of $1,000 men and officers. 80 per
cent being officers. Just what an army
in which every second man was an officer
would look like can hardly be conjectured
but 1t is to be borne in mind just at this
juncture that the Cuban army is not now
paying much attention to looks or fight
ing qualities. Its. present purpose is TO
get all of the money it can out of the
United States treasury.

nine within % years, while agitation on

ever may be said of Altgeld by the Re-
publican press he is a man of consider
able ability. He excoriated the political
corruptionists IN vitriolic language and
denounced the Mckinley scheme of i'm
perial sway. "Frhe very affairs of lib
erty." exclaimed the eloquent German,
ARE being betrayed by the men set to
guard them" Another expressive
phrase that fell from his lips was:
Woe unto him who trifes with the
American Democracy" The concluding
sentence In his mastery diatribe was
Fill our people with the spirit Of
Hamiltonism, as we'll as the hypocrisy of
McKinleyism. will no longer threaten or
disgrace our land"
The address to the Chicagcans by Will
liam j. Bryan was in his usual style
and so meritorious that the Pioneer
Press devoted to it quite a lengthy cri-
ticism. which was far from compliment
tary to the brilliant Nebraskan, who is
evidently q veritable bette noir to Joe
Wheelock. The blue-nosed philosoher

on the proposition enunciated in the

which all men are endowed, such as life,
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness,
governments are instituted among men,
