A SHORT ANSWER.
The Reply That Bismarck Made to
an Admirable Speech.

The Reply That Bismarck Made to
an Admirable Speech.
I like to think of old Bismarck as he
sat by the window that opens on the
windy park Of Friedrichsruh in an old
gray shooting jacket, rug over his
knees, a pipe in his hand, simple as a
north German farmer, this man who
had almost held Europe in fee.
a little while before this February
day he had been deposed from power.
All the world knew that the old lion
was sulking in his den in no amiable
mood toward the young emperor who
had turned him out Of doors. It was
known that his memoirs were written
and that his correspondence was set in
order. a New York publisher thought
he night secure the. papers in which
Bismarck had told the real story Of
the birth OF the German empire-that
strange story Of craft and heroism, lit
tleness and grandeur. 1t waSeon this
mission that I sailed for Hamburg. I
had two letters for Bismarck. One
was. from I negligible ambassador.
The other had been given me by q Ger
man statesman Of some note with
WHOM in other days had been stu
dent in the University Of Jena. My
friend had been q familiar of Bis
marck's household and bespoke me 4
kindly hearing. l sent the letters on
from Hamburg and followed the next
day.

the window noticed my letters. The

to affirm IL az admirable speech. For
ten days a,:,l nights had rehearsed it
as paced no deck Of the stormy liner.
so in tolcrab!c German declaimed it.
1t was digni;ied; it was diplomatic.
When l had finished Bismarck took
the pipe from his lips. said "Nein"
and put the pipe back again.

in my life l waited for moment.

Canals IN England.

Canals in England date back to an
early period. for the Romans built two
in Lincolnshire-the FoSs dixie. forty
miles long and still navigable, and the
Caer dixie. The first British made ca
nal was constructed in 1884 by Henry
I. and joined the Trent to the Witham.
It was toward the end Of the eight
eenth century that the greatest amount
Of energy was expended in the building
of canals. mainly due to the Duke Of
Bridgewater and the skill Of his en-

decade of that century canal mania

In the platform adopted the following

policy OF a certain class OF citizens who
style themselves Democrats, in their
efforts TO disfranchise a certain class OF
citizens Of our state, and we condemn
the same as un'wise and undemocratic,
and hereby instruct our delegates to the
Lewiston convention to vote and work
against any such policy,
I'VE hereby manifest our disapproval
OF the action of the late Democratic
convention at Weiser, IN relation TO the
poygamy question In that said con-
yention refused TO incorporate therein a
declaration against the crimes of fornl-
cation and adultery las well as polyg-
amy. That the failure of Its moral re-
