but the race itstncti is probably stronger
than Mr., carnegie's foresight, and even
while he prophesics the German and
Italian citizens of Austria are having'
rnurderous riots in the streets, the Ger
man and Polish citizens OF Germany are
continually at the swords point. the Aus
trian and Hungarian citizens OF Austria
have not been able 10 find a satisfactory
basis for national existence, and the Irish

most as much cstrangcd as they were a
century ago. Such conditions rs these
would lead less optimistic observer to
Judge that Mr.. Carnegie and tho other
prophets of consolidation utterly and en-
tirely underestimate the force Of the ma

can be accomplished by promulga ting an

ton for sound money, tariff for revenue
and an honest and economical administers
ton Of government in the interest Of the
people. There Is just one thing more to
do. and that Is to nominate Grover Cleve-

THAT would drive some men out OF the
