IL the Amalgamated principle of or

There is feeling, II not of actual
hostility, of apprehension and sus-

ty that in the future there must be

There is reserve force that will

That is the political force, at present

produce brownness of mouth that
could outrival the bulletins of his

nebulous and tortuous phrases of the
philosophers, the pretentious conven-
tionalitles of the art critics and the
slip-shod, slap-dash of the newest

expatiations, had pirouetted by the
same platitudinous ponderosity he
claims to have discovered. in others
the ordinary conception would un-
doubtedly be tckled more over his
remarks. There are great many evils
more dangerous to humanity than the
