Lord Salisbury does not foreshadow.
force ready at command to meet it in
whatever direction the menace may
come from.
Lord Salisbury's words were "The
supreme condition, is that no reform,
no improvement is of the slightest
value unless security against external
interference is obtained by putting our
defenses in such a position that no ac-
cident may happen beyond our borders
that shall make our security doubt
full"
The argument put in a nutshell is
that the price of peace is perfect pre-
paraton for war and yet Lord Sails
bury's attitude is not warlike. From
the tenor of his remarks he deprecates
war and he certainly deprecates the
lingo war spirit.
The speech of the veteran statesman
is almost pathetic. He has run the
gamut of policies from end to end. He
has conducted his country through Sc
rious difficulties, and his span of life
can not be long. But he sees nothing
but clouds, and struggle in the future,
nothing but bereavement in the present.
The only light upon the darkness
comes in the reference to the election
in the United States. In this Lord Sal
isbury saw that the cause of civiliza-
ton and commercial honor had been
successful, and that any one who be-
lieved in such principles had a right
to rejoice at their success in the United
States. 1t was a pretty compliment
and most gracefully paid.

w. r. Hearst is to the front right af-
ter election with another of his cock
sure, out of hand schemes. This time
it is the reform and reconstruction Of
the Democratic party. 1t can't be said
that Hearst has met with any very en-
thusiastic response. Those former De-
mocrats who have left the party be-
cause of its financial and anti-imperial-
istic policies are with one exception,
very modest in their greetings to the
proposition. They consistently assert
that until the party repudiates the doc
trines which have been repudiated by
the people, 1t cannot hope for victory.
The one exception is the irresponsible
Don M. Dickinson who is as cock sure
and out of hand as Hearst himself. He
has plan all ready. He says a call for
the reconstruction of the party will be
issued, signed by Grover Cleveland,
among others. Coming from Don NJ.
Dickinson this is amusing All the De-
mocrats who supported the ticket this
year including Gold Democrats like
Henry Waterson say the party must re-
present principles even il those princi-
pies are unpopular.

A REMARKABLE SPEECH.

Lord Salisbury certainly made a re-
markable speech at the Guild hall ban
quet. The warning and it is by nc
means the first time that Lord Salisbury
has given this warning, against aggres-
sion from France was certainly most
distinct. France was for centuries a sort
OF hereditary foe of England. For half
a century or more the dislike Of the
two countries has been yelled, and dur
ing the time of the third Napoleon
there was considerable "approchement''
at least between the ruling powers. But
among the mass of the people there has
always been a dislike, and this dislike
crops up continually.
In what form the active dislike of
France for England will show itself

Expressing His DISGUST.

Probably most writers Of serial
stories are familiar with the sensation
of receiving letters of commentator
or disapprOval from interested readers
who are following up the stories as
they appear in their regular weekly or
monthly insta!lments. Occasionally
some curious person asks for private in
formation as to what the outcome is
to be, while others offer suggestions as
to the disposition to be made of the
villain, or express fear that the au-
thor intends to marry the hero to the
wrong woman.
The writer of a serial story in one of
the popular magazines a few years ago
received the following letter from an
indignant reader. The names are
changed for obvious reasons:
Dear Sir: l take the liberty of tell
ing you that | regard your Simeon
Stacy now running through the Blank
Magazine, as little the thinnest novel
| have ever read. Furthermore, the
whom you give the title role, so to
speak, is so thoroughly detestable a
man that have taken the most effect
i've means in my power to show my
contempt for him by changing my
name-which happened to be the same
as his-to something as unlike it az
possible. Yours truly,
