England Borrowing in America.

And now comes England to make a
war loan of $4,000, 900 in this country.
affording new evidence that the United
States is in a position to play creditor
in the international money market.
The best of it is that nearly all the
money can be paid England without
sending any gold from this country.
This will be done through the ordinary
large surplus of money due the United
States in England, through the favor
able balance of trade. Subscriptions
to the bond issue Were opened in New
York, and the bids came in very rapid
ly from all parts of the country, not
ably the West, showing that there is
lots of money awaiting Investments
and that the opportunity to invest in
this new field is generally appreciated.
This is not surprising, since the bonds
offer an excellent return to the in
vestors. The actual rate of interest on
them is 3A per cent. which is greater
than has been offered by our own gov
eminent since the Civil War But
while the terms are liberal from the
point of the American investor they
are also advantageous to the British
government, for it is held that no other
European power can borrow at so low
a rate. Thus England and the Amer
lean investors are both satisfied, which
| is not always the case in the bond mar
ket. American prosperity is appreciat-
ed abroad as well as at home. and if
| other governments than the British
want money, on good security, this is
the place to apply for it.

Our American Secretary Of Stale.

If John Hay is not thorough
American then 1t Is not possible for our
soil to produce or our institutions to
foster an American, and yet some pa
pers and individuals who do not hest
tate to put partisanship above all hon
esty complain that he is too much of
a Britisher". for the high office which
he holds. 1t is a great pity our coun-
try cannot have more "Britishers" of
-fhe John Hay type in the diplomatic
service and in other avenues of public
activity. Perhaps this unreasonable
prejudice against him is due to the
fact that he was a popular ambassador
in England. but he was popular be-
cause of his strong Americanism and
his cosmopolitan culture and expert
ence, rather than because he was in
any degree a servile Anglomaniac.
Look at the career of John Hay. He
parentage, educated in Illinois and at
Brown University, and admitted to the
Illinois bar. He was private secretary
to President Lincoln, secretary to the
American legations in Paris. Madrid
and Vienna, assistant secretary of
State 1S79-S1, and was called from the
Enthusiastically at the court of st.
James to fill the chair of secretary of
State in 1893. When he has not been
serving his country in some official
capacity he has been busy as an editor
and author, and his biography of Lin
coin is one of the monuments of Amer
lean literature. No man has led
more strenuous American life and no
man is more thoroughly imbued with
the true American spirit. He has won
every step by personal merit, and has
proved himself master of every posi-
ton. AS secretary of State he has won
the respect of all the great diplomats
of the world, and his attitude on the
Chinese question is the admiration of
Europe. Now through the great strain
of his tireless and successful endeavors
to protect American interests he is sick
in the mountains of New Hampshire.
while petty critics. not worthy to be
called Americans, assail and question
his Americanism,

every doubtful state. The duty of

Whereby these human hands Of ours
In Natures garden work with thine
And thanks that from our daily need
The JOY of simple faith Is born:
That he who smites the summer weed
May trust thee for the autumn corn.
Give fools their gold, and knaves their

Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows a field, or trains a Hover
Or plants tree, is more than all.
For he who blesses most is best:
And God and man shall own his worth

And. soon or late to all that sow.
The time of harvest shall be given:
The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall
