INCONSISTENCY.

1t is interesting to follow the lead
ing newspapers OF the world and
notice their inconsistence in dealing
with affairs of nations and of con-
quest and expansion.
Sympathy was extended to the
Americans who exterminated the
Indians and to the Hawaiians who
were deprived OF their country by
the Americans. Approval is express
ed in many papers in regard to the
expulsion of British missionaries
from the Thibet-what business had
they there, and praise services are
held for the victories over the
Spaniards driven out of their own
colonies and provinces.
Then all become jubilant because
the Filipinos after thanking the
Americans for driving the Spaniards
out submit that they will look after
their own country aud interests and
the same enthusiasts express sincre
wishes that the Beers may be driven
out of their country.
Let each country look after its
own affairs and be satisfied with
what they have got and prosperity
will reign and there will be no use
for peace conferences. But when
the day comes, when nations and
people will mind their own business
the millennium will have arrived.
