represent only a small fraction of the
American people. and while good
many who attend them are in earnest.
good many others go and denounce
England because for a number of
years past that has been customary
among them. Persons of conservative
temperament do not see in the South
African war any necessity calling for
public meetings or impassioned ora
tory on the part of citizens Of the
United States. They recognize that
speeches which may be delivered
largely for partisan effect in, let us
say, Scranton. Pennsylvania, cannot
possibly impede the forward march Of
Lord Roberts victorious army in Or
arge Free s.ate: and that unless the
American people are ready to shoulder
muskets and wade into the fray bell
ligerently and assertively they had
much better keep cool and pay APP
propriate attention to their own af-
fairs.
AS to mediation, it is only possible
on a friendly basis when known to be
acceptable to both belligerents, and
the administration Is in a better posi-
ton to ascertain the wishes of the
belligerentC than are it's irresponsible
critics. We say on a friendly basis.
for we take it for granted that no
American out of u lunatic asylum seri-
ously imagines that the United States
should endeavor to intermeddle by
force in a remote row as to which it
has not a penny's worth of direct in

the embellishments. The cake was so
large that the negro could scarcely carry

The cake told the whole story Of the
wedding, the bridesmaids, the orange

afterward. Every feminine heart in that
street car was a-hutter as its owner
gazed speechessly upon the evidence of
a wedding to be.
Finally, when the car stopped to let on
another passenger and everything was
very still, one lady took courage to ask
the negro where the wedding was going
to be.

eyes protruding.
