Marrow Escape.

While narrowing. Jack Vaughn, of
Bathgate, had very narrow escape.
One of the horses he was driving be-
came frightened at barrel in the
ditch and in trying to hold them one
of the lines broke. Vaughn cndeavored
to stop them by going to their heads.
He succeeded in getting two of them
by the brides, but slipped and was
trampled to the ground, and the har-
rows and two horses passed over him.
Vaughn was taken to the house,
where on examination it was found no
serious injury was received beyond
painful bruises and torn clothes. While
Vaughn's effort to stop the horses
showed plenty Of grit, it is strange
under the circumstances that, the in-
juries were not more serious.

THE STRONG HAND.

Twelve non-union miners were mur- dered in Colorado late last week. A few hours earlier q mob Of people in St. Louis, disappointed of the bloody spectacle of bull-fght. wrecked and burned the ring where it was to have taken place. In the same city a party of West Point cadets met the Sunday closing folly after their own fashion by breaking down the gates of the expos ition.
 The east is scarcely behind the west. Automobilists are pelted by stones from one end Of New York to the oth- CT, and in turn even more dangerously disregard the rights of others by over speeding. Riots, with many shots fired. arise in New York streets upon the slightest pretext. A wealthy father kdnaps his children away from their mother by force and vile and bribery. never thinking of an appeal to the law.
 What connection have these private feuds and outbreaks with the doctrine of the "big stick" in international Gf- fairs? Is the whole world passing through a queer sickness of brutality. when the disregard of the weak peo> pies of the earth by the strong finds it's parallel in the disregard of law by individuals and the growing substitu ton of the process of the strCng handy New York World.

The Isolation of Germany

The writer who signs himself as "Calchas" in the Fortnightly Review, and who is known 60 he high authority says that "Germany is at the present moment the most isolated power, that Berlin has been deposed from it's pre- dominance in Europe, and that the whole Bismarckian system of policy has come to total bankruptcy in the hands of the iron chancellor's success ors." Formerly the magnetic pole of diplomacy oscillated between Berlin and St. Petersburg; at present it oscil- lates between Paris and London. This Is largely the result of the Anglo French understanding, "Calchcs' says:
 We see the master feature Cf the agreement in it's effect upon the posi- tion and prospects of the powers. r. completely destroys the diplomatic prospects of Germany. To say that il was not directed against her is a yer bal formula. The fact is only partly true. So far as it is true it is not inn pOTldHl. II not ulTtCleu dSdlHSl otI- many, the Anglo-FT French settlement works most powerfully against Ger many. It leaves her statesmen non plused; it deprives her diplomacy of the fulcrum by which it had exerted its strongest leverage upon the interna- ticnal situation.
 "The Franco-Russian alliance was already the princ.ral obstacle to all the ambitions of Pan-G -Germanism on land. The Anglo-French agreement places a more formidable obstacle across the path of the kaiser's ambitions by sea" :"
 The kaiser has according to "Cal- chas." built @ great navy, but he has d-ne nothing else. In Europe he is iso- lated.
 But numerous signs point to the probability that William proposes 70 get busy about the time the Russo Japanese war comes to a close. 4 monarch with four million, five hun dred thousand trained soldiers at his back is likely to borrow a phrase from English politics and describe his posi- tion as a splendid isolation

Federal instruction for niIltia Officers

Most officers of the national guard will be surprised, probably. to learn that they may have military instruc- ton from Uncle sam under certain conditions. This privilege is accorded them under the new law relating to the national guard. The war department officials will shortly send to the ad- ju:ant-general in of the national guard in each state and territory a communi- cation advising them of the facilities for the instruction of militia officers at garrison and service schools.
 According to a late Washington dis patch, the militiaIheE must be between the ages of twenty-Cne and thirty five years, to be eligible. and be nominated for the course by the governor. The vide communication of quarters at the rate of $24 q month for lieutenants. and S36 Q month fer captains. and sUbsist- ence at the rate of S1 a day. Other expenses must be borne by the militia man.
 Among the requirements will be | years connection with the guard and the possession of such preliminary ed- ucational qualifications as to enable the student officer to take part profitabiy In the course of instruction. Militia off, ficers may attend the higher schools at Fort Riley, Fort Leay- enworth, Fortress Monroe, Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth, New York, admission to which is only after examination, professional and physical. The latter is deemed of inl- portance to the end that there may not be admitted officers who cannot stand the task of performing the actual du- ties of a campaign. The course for militia officers will be the same as that for officers of the regular establish ment.
 Upon graduation they are 70 be class flied in the same manner, will be en- titled to the distinction of honor grad uates, and will be eligible to selection as students of the staff college. The details of the rlan of instructing the militiamen will be left to the schools, although the general staff of the army has recently outlined a method of ed- ucation for all officers and enlisted men.
