MAYOR ROBERTS WELCOME.
1t is common saying the nations are
governed by interest and not by sentiment
Like many ether current maXims this
Dne is rather false than true. Every man
knows that in him own life, he has made
sacrifices for sentiment and against his
selfish interests; and the history OF ma
tons which are but aggregations of men,
IS written in blood and tears under tho
overpowering sentiment Of race or re-
lsion OF. honor or natriotism
There has recently been demonstrated
between Great Britain and the United
States genuine feeling of friendship. This
IS in every wav desirable and to IN, on
