The Chicago Chronicle remarks:
Here are the Germans at flemish
formally demanding that United
States troops get out Of their present
camp and locate somewhere else. 1t
is true that the American camp is
located on the German concession and
that the Germans want the ground
for their own troops. But what mat
ter? Is it not written: Where the
flag is once hoisted, there it must
stay? Ergo, must we not stay on
that Tien-Tsin camping ground till

storming of Peking, had fought gal

The Cincinnati Enquirer truly says:

The Cincinnati Enquirer truly says:
So far as the people are concerned the
issue is "Shall the republic be pre-
served?" There is no installing
the real issue. The dust and smoke
and fog which the Republican jug
glers are raising are intended to oh.
scure their interests, but the people
are growing in intelligence each day
and by the month of November will
have cyclonic force. They will sweep
the dust and smoke and fog from the
political atmosphere. They will have
clear vision ON election day.

In an article on England and the
United States, Stopford w. Brooke,
the English essayist and critic, sen.
sibly says: Let us clear our minds
of illusion. The vast mass of the
American nation is now not English
by descent or tradition. We must
win their friendship If we would per-
manently possess it. And, great as
the Englishman is, he is still somehow
or other lamentably deficient in the
temper and the manner that calls forth
affection from anybody but his own
people.

sothern,s Recitation.

Sir Edward Russell knew K. \. Soth-

book, THAT Reminds Me- tells many
stories of him.
He was dining at Portsmouth or
somewhere at n regimental mess to
which the officers had asked him with
every show of the highest admiration
and with no appearance of social su-
periority. After dinner. as the party
sat at wine, one of the officers asked
Sothern TO give them a recitation. Now,
Sothern abominated that kind of thing.
He wouldn't tolerate being treated
as an entertainer when he was by way
of being treated as 4 gentleman. He
coldly declined. They pressed him.
He holly declined. Still they pressed
him. He expressed his feelings. Per-
haps the officers We're n little affected
by wine. At all events they persist

At last he said in a manner which
