NO GREAT STATESMEN.
"Some Able Men in the United
States, but No One of Con-
spicuous Merit"

London, Dec. 15.-''The United States
has many able men, but no one of con-
spicuous merit" This statement ap-
pears in the Daily Mail Year Book. Just
issued to compete with ''Whitaker's Al
manac," under the section devoted TO the
worlds chief statesmen. While it is not
an inspired or a particularly erudite pub
Iication, it unfortunately represents the
bulk of press and public opinion in Eng
land. Nothing so well explains the at
titude of the English press towards
American action in Nicaragua, China and
other quarters of the globe than this
crude revelation of its estimate of Ameri-
can public men.
1t is the underlying, though seldom eX-
pressed, belief, whici, permeates the edi-
tOrials now so frequently devoted to the
policy of the Washington government.
How utterly this is at variance with
the opinion of the foreign office and the
highest government officials here is APP
parent from the fact that in almost every
recent case where the English papers
have attempted to gauge or forecast the
attitude of their government towards
propositions submitted by the United
States, they have taken the exactly Oppo-
site line from the course pursued by Lord
Salisbury and the Marquis of Lans-
downe. This lack of sympathy between

The mass of English comments on the

Washington complains that the London
dispatches dealing with the Nicaragua
canal do not give any indication of the
views of Lord Lansdowne, the Marquis
of Salisbury or any authoritative person
1t may be said that Lord LanSdowne has

has definitely refused, remarking that he

BEAUTIES OF THE DANUBE.
Retrospect of a Voyage Down the
Great River from Vienna.

Winter in theHungarianc capital opens in
good dry weather. and previous to de-
Scribing some of the overlooked features
of voyage hither from Vienna, | should
add that, though great many only
passed through on their way to other
parts of Europe and Asia. the number of
occasional visitors who stay for health'S
sake is larger than formerly, relates a
correspondent in the New York Sun.
1t must have been one of the last boats
of the season in which | came down the
river recently from Vienna. A twilight
on the Danube is beautiful, the recedine
hllS wrapt in purple haze and kaledo-
sCoped against sky of dearest blue.
Already the deep golden russell of the
hungarian autumn is SO advanced that
it strewS the ground. Golden avenues
of pines and chestnutS are on every hand.
There are many places where one can
linger on this journey Indeed, the
traveller who is well informed as to his
surroundings as he SteamS down from
one great capital to the other has many
temptations. From the castles of the

Christmas at Coral Manse,

Fairy Tale for Boys and Girls by l.. II.
Upper.
Three little mermaids, playing on the
yellow beach of little island in the
North Atlantic, looked up wistfully, and
said:
Shall we have Christmas tree this
year, Aunt Margaret?'
Aunt Margaret was middle-aged
mer-lady. who acted as chaperon and
goyerness for young mermaids She
glanced over her spectacles, and replied.
IF your department continues to, be
correct, we will have Christmas tree at
Coral Manse. All who are in the swim
will be invited"
In her youth Aunt Margaret" had
filled a holiday engagement in Barnum's
museum at New York. She saw many
Christmas trees in the metropolis, and on
her return to her ocean home told the
mer-people all about them. They thought
it a pretty custom, and were about to
adopt it.
And now. little mermaids.' said the
mer-governeSS, you may return to

The three little mermaids dived into
the blue waves on their way to the little

Aunt Margaret still sat on the beach
knitting. She was knitting gloves, for
the mermaldS do not wear hose. And
it was precisely because they have no
stockings to hang up. that they were all
50 eager to have a Christmas tree.
