With the big brass band a-braving and the

And bugles that blare through the mugsy air.
the 5Oth AIiddlesex comes;
The street boys crowd by the Curbst0De the
servant girls TO the doors,
And the men are smoking. and talking. and
chatting at ease in the lOOsened fOurs;
The lights from the costers' barrows flare full

And the cOSters stop bawIing their green stuff 10

Over the greasy macadam, through the Satur-

On gutter drill" down the Harrow Road tie
Regiment swings along.
AS far as the Harrow Road is from South Africa

The Regiment is-and we know it-from what
the Regiment ought to be;
Each man should be hard as nails, and as fresh
and smart as a rose,
Knowing his rifle from muzZle to butt-pIate-

handy to move, and steady to stand, and quick
and cool to rush.
Ready to march empty bellied all day, and lie

Or be chucked away. alone in the dark. by mis-

That our game isn't all putting uniforms on and

There's deal more solid stuff in our ranks

We march and drill and handle our arms.

for a number of years chief of the Asiatic De
partment of the Russian Foreign ONCE ana as
such distinguished himself by the extreme ou-
terness with which he combatted Ensiands IN
huence throughout Central and Southern ASA
so much so that to-day the mere mehIioh
of his name is sufficient to create shudder at
Calcutta while afterward he was statioheu at
Stockholm for the express purpose OF keeping
alive the il-wiH of the Norwegans toward the
Swedes. the idea being in that way to prevent
King Oscar froIp fulfilling the obligations i'm
posed upon him By the secret convention. when
binds him TO give naval and military assistance
to the Triple Alliance in the event Of war be-
tween the latter and Russia. Struve, like Emo
vieff was formerly too closely identhed IN
Central Asia with the anti i-English intrigues to
made his appointment likely, while Count cas-
sini is regarded in Europe as so largely respon-
sibIe for the causes which have led to the pres
ent terrible crisis in China that there IS not d
single Great Power which would not look upon
his appointment as Foreign Minister at St
Petersburg with extreme ill favor.
AVAILABLE MEN.
The choice will probably lie between Count
LamsdOrff the principal assistant of Count
Muravieff; Count Peter Kapnist Ambassador at
Vienna whose brother Damitri. is chief
of the Asiatic Department of the Foreign Office.
and NJ. Shishkne, who filled the place tempo
rarily of Foreign Minister during the time that
elapsed between the death of Prince LObanOn
and the appointment Of Count Muravief- The
very fact, however, that NJ. Shishkine on
that occasion superseded by Count Muravie1
would seem to indicate that he did not give sat
sfaction to the Gar an impression strength
ened by his appointment to the Senate of the
Empire. which in Russia constitutes a species
of honorable retirement for statesmen and dis
tinguished dgntaries whose services are no
longer required.
Count Peter Kapnist's appointment. which is
the most likely, would give particular satisfac-
ton both in Berlin and at Vienna. In the latter
capital he is especially popular. and is among
the most intimate friends of the Austrian For
egn Minister, Count Golouchowski their inti-
macy dating from the time when they were
| both secretaries of Embassy at Paris. Count
Kapnist is about sixty years old is passionately
fond of music, being accustomed to play duets
with Count Golouchowski, and has spent his
entire diplomatic career in Western capitals. his
total lack of personal experience of diplomacy
in the Orient even in the Balkans being the
only thing calculated to initiate against his
appointment Muravieff's successor. He is
| married to a Countess SteinbocL and his nOmi-
nation would constitute an assurance that Rus
| STA would embark upon a course of friendu II
relations with the Triple Alliance. the intimacy
of her union with France being diminished in a
corresponding degree, and the chances of a
European conflict therefore decreased. In fact
/ Count Kapnist's appointment will mean that
the Car abandOns the aggressive methods pur-
sued by Count Muravieff, and like NJ De Witte.

PRIVATIONS OF THE POOR.

From The Detroit Journal

No" said the man, with the utmost bitter
ness. only the rich can swing cats these days.
We little understand. you and l who have
money TO burn. how very deep and real is the
discomfort of the poor.

vacant post of Minister OF Foreign Affairs, ana
a nomination of this kind would contribute
more to restore the sadly damaged financial
credit of the Muscovte Government than any
number of official returns and statistics. no
matter how delightfully."- and artstcally cooked.
For NJ. De Witte, who for number of years
has been at the head of the Russian Treasury,
is the one enlightened and broad minded busi-
ness man in the encourage Of the Emperor The
objects which he has in view are economic vic
tories rather than those of a political or of a
military character His one idea is to establish
Russian credit on a solid basis. and to develop
his country financially, industrially and com
merciaIly.
The Trans Siberian Railroad is enterprise
which is indebted mainly to him for it's eXecu-
ton and virtual completion, while he is already
engaged in organizing all the preliminaries for
the construction of that other great scheme
with which the reign of Nicholas II is to be
identified. namely, a canal from the Baltic to the
Black Sea, a thousand miles in length and of
sufficient breadth and depth 10 allow the passage
of the largest vessels of the imperial navy The
strategic importance Of this canal does not need
demonstration since it will enable the Black
Sea fleet to be used in the Baltic, and render the
Baltic squadron available for service in the
Black Sea. But it will likewise prove of inesti-
mable value to the agricultural and industrial
interests of the country, placing vast grain pro-
ducing regions in cheap communication with the
port of Odessa while the immense coal fields OF
Southern Russia will be brought into more faclle
communication with the industrial districts of
the Western and Northern portions Of the
empire.
Count Witte is ready to subordinate every
thing else to the execution of this enterprise,
and realizes that foreign would not only
render Impossible the fulfilment of his dream.
but likewise throw back the economic develop
ment of Russia for a hundred years, besides
| bringing her to the verge, if not actually over
| the brink, of bankruptcy, taxes being to-day
collected only with the utmost difficulty from
the poverty stricken peasantry. He is therefore
not merely aveTse to war. but likewise regards
with extreme disfavOr any policy sufficiently ag-
gressve to create the risk of involving the
empire in armed conflict. That is why his
| appointment Minister of Foreign Affairs
would constitute in the eyes of the world a
guarantee of the peaceful intentions of the Car
and would convey an assurance to sceptics that
Nicholas was really in earnest when he organized
the Peace Conference two years ago.

1t is among them. that is to say, among the
MuscoVite Enjoys al foreign courts and among
the assistants of Count Muravieff. that the
latter's successor must be sought The list of
men available for the purpose is not large
Baron de Staal, the Russian Ambassador in
London, whose wife favorite niece of the
celebrated Prince Gortchakof. would doubtless
be chosen by the Gar were it not for the fact
that advanced age and infrmity unfit him for
the extremely Onerous duties of Foreign Minis
ter, burdens beneath which the health of not
only Count Muravieff but also of his prede-
cessor Prince Lobancff, gave way. NJ Nelidoff
was a failure as Ambassador at Constantine
pie, and neither his domestic relations nor his
financial reputation such as TO make him
available for the post. The Russian Ambassa-
dor at ConstantinOpe, Zinovieff and the Envoy
at The Hague, Nj. de StTuve are. like Count
Cassini. the Ambassador at Washington, too
strongly identified with aggressive and anti
English. as we'll anti-German policy, to admit
of their being appointed without giving offence
both at London and at Berlin Zinovie1 was

NOT LIKELY TO BE CHOSEN.

Devoutly this nomination of NJ De Witte
is to be wished for by all those who have at
heart the best interests of Russia and the
maintenance of peace, at any rate between the
Great Powers of the civilized world there is
little likelihood of it's taking place. There are
three obstacles. The first of these is of a do
mestic character the Countess de Witte being
a divorced lady of Jewish origin, ard of some
what romantic antecedents, which preclude her
presentation at court her admission to the
society to which she should belong by virtue
Of the high office of her husband. Secondly
the Count could i'll be spared at the present
juncture from the Treasury Department. The
third obstacle is the most important of all The
Count is not a diplomat. and has formed
part of the diplomatic service of his country
Now, if the ways of Muscovite diplomacy are
tOrtuOus, and its methods as such do not always
commend themselves to English speaking people
they have at least merit. namely that
every trained servant of the Russian Foreign
Office is thoroughly acquainted with them. and
likewise with the bourne which they lead.
There is continuity about the foreign policy
of Russia, at any rate far as its main prin-
ciples are concerned, to which no other Govern
ment can pretend. In order to secure this con-
tinuity, which gives to Russia an inestimable
advantage over those other Powers whose for
eign policy is likely to be altered with every
change of administration, it is necessary that
those intrusted with its execution should he
thoroughly identified with all the traditions.
the prejudices, the hopes and the fears of the
Foreign Department at ST. Petersburg and
there is no doubt that of all the diplomatic ser
vices of civilized Powers that of the Gar is
the most carefully and elaborately trained
