grown that state of our existence, and
we are capable of graphing with larg-
er problems than how to preserve our
selves.
Daniel Webster once made use of a
figure that has become historic when
in referring to England's greatness, he
said that the drumbeat of her army
followed the rising sun and was heard
in never-ceasing strains around the
world. The speaker said that he should
judge that one of the previous speak
ers of the same name, who, for elo-
Quence, might easily be a lineal deS-
cendant of the great Daniel, would like
so to restrict the army of the United
States that its drumbeat might never
penetrate further out into the world
than his own ear drum. The United
States is prepared to become a great
factor for good in the world.
Mr.. Sibley said that recently Josiah
Quincy had SO far forgotten himself
as to say something sensible. Mr.
Quincy recently said in a speech, that
if he. could not make the government
of the people, for the people and by
the people" all at once he would make
it for the people first and the rest of
it as soon as he could. The speaker
thought that it was no visionary who
was able to see in the future of Cuba
and of some of the other territories
to be annexed, a condition of things
which the United States could look
upon with no degree OF shame, if the
lands in question We're to be made
states of the Union.
He said that he could easily imagine
Cuba as one of the most thriving parts
of the republic under proper rule
and could picture to himself the Mica
faguan canal under the ownership of
the United States with equally desir
able results. The question, now that
the war is over is not shall we take
the territories in question, but simply
how shall we govern them.
Mr. Aldrich was the concluding
speaker and summed up the arguments
for the oposing side in a very clear
and fOrcihle manner

For Much Sport on
the Boulevard.
A FEW FAST HEATS.
Road Has a Visitor in John
W. Howe of Lancaster.

It was a question of sport or COM
fort, yesterday afternoon.
Horsemen, at least the majority Of
them, preferred comfort at home to
sporting on the avenue hence the crowd
upon the boulevard was small.
Few of the really fast ones were on
hand. F'loe Spencer, so prominent on
the preceding day, did not appear to
strengthen her claim to the laurels al
ready Won.
Richard Healey with Arthur Wilkes,
one of the most regular of turtles, was
noticeable by his absence; r. c. Tay-
lor, nor any of the Taylor family had
anything-good, bad or indifferent-up-

be seen with either Major Wonder or
Uncle Tom; A. 3. Brunell did not drive
Sairey Camp; Walter c. Warren was
not out behind Baby Strathnore; John
hervick did not hold the lines over
Marjorie; Webster Thayer had Eddie
Curnan on the course, but he was not

most to do with the choice of plans.
The railroad companies plainly Init
mated that their greatest interests are
in the freight traffic. BY the plan
which the commission has agreed on.
the freight yard will be placed IN the
swampy land south of the present
South Worcester junction. There is land
in abundance there.
In considering the plan of clevating
the tracks, the Boston and Albany
freight yard south Of the Union station
was stumbling block to the commits
sioners. If the tracks are elevated the
entire freight yard must also be ele-
waited.
Manufacturers along me present
lines Of railroads have bucRed against
the commission, fearing a change of
grade would seriously interfere with
their business. There have been kicks
all around, and the commission feared

had reached point where the protests

An English newspaper contains an
interesting parallel. discovered by a
classical scholar. First comes transla-
ton from the original Greek OF Anti
pater Of Thessalonica:
Once upon time. when ship was
shattered at sea. two men fell at strife,
fighting for one plank. Antagoras struck
away Pisistratus. One could not blame
him: 1t was for his life. But justice
took cognizance. The other swami
ashore; but him (Antagoras) dogfish
seized. Surely. the avenger Of the fate:
rests not. even in the watery deep.
Then an incident recorded in the Lon
don Chronicle serves 10 translate the
story into modern event and 10 show
how life repeats itself

Painter. were capsized from boat nj
Weymouth. After struggle 10 get int
