' generations, if not ages. Yet, after all,
 was there not some hope, for tint it one of the traits of the Anglo Saxon
 to make the best of defeat and isn't
 he also in victory a generous foe? Our working class population with the bal lot in it's hands in q country which was not so law abiding as 1t should be, how was that ominous peril to be avoided? 1 Probably it wouldn't be; probably there would be revolution and all sorts of bad things. Yet we might be saved, even though it were by the skin of our | teeth. And, of course, if we were the saving salt in our national makeup would be that we belonged to the same race with the law-abiding people of Great Britain and Ireland. So this same race--same blood' arguments used to serve the turn of these English editors in the years gone, and perhaps, administered and brought to bear by them as it was so unremttlngly in ev- cry time of real or imaginary need-per- hape, under their wise and benehcent application and do us a good turn now and then. But, oh, the whirligig of time, what changes it brings, for behold now
 
 own hopes by the identical arguments when in years ago they so nagnani mously threw out for our salvation. Then, America's chance was in the fact that in descent she was English Now Englands chance is in the fact that, if she only knew it, she is in spirit and capability, American! So they are talking and writing over here at the present time. and everyone will admit that this altered condition of things while it certainly ought not to awake In Americans any feeling that is not generous, Is still not a matter ealing for any apologies on our part either on the glorious or any other day
 But, as I said at the beginning, it Is l so delightful to be here and observe all [ these things for one's self. John Buli | Is very pleasant when he unbends lit- [ tie His sentiments toward America and the Americans are the quaintes- l sence of suitability. If our government wants to strike him for anything big now is the time to do 1t. Pass the col lection box while the feeling Is high. | From this time on English nobles will be more than ever in love with Ameri-
 
 reason why the English like us better than they did is that they are coming into closer contact with us in interna- tional politics. Another is that We showed them a few years ago that We knew how to fight. They like fighters, altho' it doesn't appear just now that they are much of a success in that line themselves. But they'll round up the Boers all right never fear if you only give them time enough. Isn't that safe prophecy?
 This reminds me that John Bulls present suitability may be due in some measure to his humiliation at not being able to vanquish in shorter time an en- smy which in numbers is so inferior to himself. Only that the Boers came so near beating him in battle who knows hat this proud parsonage would have so graciously that Ameri- "a has beaten him in the arena of com nerce But as it is, the situation Is simply delightful for these English are 90 very generous and noble when they ,nce get started that way. Tn proof, ake this sentiment from the Daily We intend to face this American invasion with better weapons han jealousy and disparagement, and ince the commercial supremacy of the mother island had to be challenged from ome quarter sooner or later, we would rather fight out the battle with our kinsmen in America than with an alien antagonist"
