THE trouble with slate makers and

get stuck on their own shrewdness
and forget to count on the plain COM

That was the cause of the collapse of

political lights, who think to win
upon their wits rather than from
true merit, are yet to pass through
the same sad experience.

has allowed Russia to get the control
in Persia, for which the two countries
have long been contending, and has
risked almost incalculable losses in
China, all to make the fortunes of a
few gold spectators and satisfy the
national thirst for land. Truly, this
is the price that staggers British
humanity
