exploration who arrived at Dundee on
the WhalCr Eclipse from Davis strait.
Dr. Robert Stein of the United States

Warmbath of Boston preferred to remain

But the newspapers have been by no

to praise it and it makes better copy,

Lord Salisbury has more than once
dwelt upon it.
Influences for Good.
Against these untoward influences
there are to be set three influences
which have worked for good during the
last half century. One is the aversion
to war of the magnates of commerce
and finance. Sometimes, of course,
they expect to gain by strife or the pros
pect of it; but far more frequently they
stand to lose. Their power, which is
great and growing, is usually thrown
into the scale of peace. The second
wholesome tendency is that of the men
of thought and learning and science,
who in most countries, and conspicu.
ously in France and Italy, feel 80 warm
a sympathy with their fellow students
and fellow workers in other nations
that they do what they can to promote
good feeling and discountenance war.
Lastly, there is the tendency to solidar-
ity among the socialists and so.called

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.

One of the most interesting questions
suggested by the approaching close Of
this century is comparison of the re-
lations towards one another of the great
European nations now with the rela-
tions which existed when the last GEN.
tury came to it's end. Such compari-
son helps one to realize the nature of
the changes which have passed, not only
upon Europe as a whole, but also upon
the character of national life and ma.
tional self consciousness in each Of the
nations. When this century began,
national feeling had in each nation far
less to do with the policy of the state
than it has now. Policy, especially for
eign policy, was practically left to the
ruler; and the ruler, though he might
sometimes be Influenced by popular SEN
timent, or might defer to il, was mostly
guided by his own dynastic interests.
1t was only in England that any govern
ment we should now call free govern.
ment existed. Even in England the
King had a good deal of power and the
borough holding oligarchy good deal
more. Still in England there was
distinct national feeling, and it was hos
tile to the French. France, under the
republic and Napoleon, returned this
hatred. The mutual dislike of French.
men and Germans was much less strong.

Spaniards, though both sentiments did
exist as the natural fruit of former
wars. Elsewhere there were hardly any
national animosities. Italy did not ex.
ist as political community and the
Italians had so little sense of unity as a
people that they could have but little
common aversion to any other people.
In Germany most of the princes grovel-
ed before Napoleon, and were glad to
profit by his favor.
Growing Feeling of Nationality.
During the first half of the century
the feeling of nationality grew apace.
1t was awakened by the examples of
France and by the conquering career of
Napoleon, who trampled upon the other
nations till they turned and overthrow
him. The new passion for German ma.
tional union dates from the great rising
against the French in 1918. France
evoked the spirit which was destined
ultimately to weld Germany together
for the tremendous struggle of 1870. So
it was first the French and then the Aus.
trian occupation of Italy that gave birth
to the movement which in Italy was at
the same time and in the same minds
struggle for political freedom and a
struggle for political unification. The
foreigner was the hindrance to both, so
the Italians drew themselves together
into one for the expulsion of the foreign

and Germany had been telling on the
smaller peoples. 1t has worked in Rou.
mania, in Servia, in Bulgaria, among
the Germans of Schleswig. Holstein, in
the Austrian Empire, even in Iceland,
not to speak of Ireland, where it had, of
course, long existed, though it grew
much faster in the second quarter of
the century under Daniel o Connell and
the repeal agitation.
The principle of nationality, defeated
after a severe struggle, in 1849, trium-
phed in Italy in 1859.70, and in Germany
in 1861, and since then has prevailed
in the smaller countries of southeastern
Europe which have been freed from
Turkish rule. National sentiment is
now powerful all over Europe, and
powerfully affects the policy of all the
great states. 1t used to be believed
that it's victory would usher in period
of peace and of freedom, because, when
each nationality had reached it's natural
territorial limits, a dangerous source of
quarrels between states would be re-
moved stability having been attained,
good feeling would follow. So, too,
Golden and thinkers of his school ex-
pected that free trade, whose general
acceptance they deemed certain, would
also make strongly for peace, because
each nation, perceiving the benefits of
unrestricted commercial intercourse,
would feel that peace would promote it's
material interests. Further, everyone
expected that as people became better
educated, more free, and more enligh.
tened, they would renounce war, "the
old game of monarchs," seeing how
much happier and more prosperous they
would be under system of pacific in
dustrialism. But new forces came into
play. National sentiment, in rendering
each nation prouder of itself, made it
more jealous of it's neighbors, more
eager to strengthen itself at their ex.
pense. That sort of ambition which
had formerly animated monarchs now
spread through the body of the people.
Free trade did not extend it's dominion
from England over Continental Europe.
On the contrary, the producers and
manufacturers of the Continent con-
ceived their interest to lie in imposing
protective tariffs. Commerce between
different countries did increase vastly,
and increases as population grows, and
as scientific discovery stimulates indus
trial production. But, so also does the
competition increase between the man
ufacturers and exporters in different
countries and this competition has led
not only to much ill-feeling among the
competing countries, but also to a race
