''Rss! Ringi RING"
There was a tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at corners,
Where they whispered each 10 each,
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With the earnestness Of speech.
AS the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the State House,
So they surged against the door;
And the mingling of their voices
Made harmony profound,
Till the quiet street of chestnuts
Was all turbulent with sound.
Twill they do it," "Dare they do it 9"-
who is spe aking?-"What's the news?'
what of Adams?"- What of Sherman?"-
"Ohl God grant they won't refuse !"

When Nations life's at hazard
We've no time TO think Of menp
So they beat against the portal,
And the July sun in heaven
On the scene looked down and smiled
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain
Now beheld the soul in freedom
All unconquered, rise again.
So they surged against the State House,
While, all solemnly inside,
Sat the Continental Congress"
Truth and reason for their guide,
Ger simple scroll debating
Which, though simple il might be-
Yet should shake the cliffs Of England
With the thunders of the free.
At the portal of the State House,
Like some beacon in storm,
Round which waves are wildly beating,
Stood boyish, slender form;
With his eyes fixed on the steeple
And his ears agape with greed
To catch the first announcement
Of the signing" of the deed.
Aloft, in that high steeple,
Sat the bellmsn, old and gray
He was weary of the tyrant
And his iron-sceptered sway,
So he sat, with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell,
When his eye should catch the signal,
The happy news 10 tell.
See see! The dense crowd quivers
Through all its lengthy line,
AS the boy beside the portal
Looks forth 10 give the sign

flushed the peoples swelling murmur,
List the boys strong, joyous cry
Ring, he shouted, Ring! Grandpa!
Ring! Oh! Ring! for Liberty!"
And straightway, at the signal.
The old bellman lifts his hand,
And sends the good news making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted what rejoicingl
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of freedom ruffied
The calm gliding Delaware
How the bonfires and the torches
Illumined the nights repose,
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Fair Liberty arose.
The old bell now is silent,
And hushed its iron tongue,
But the spirit it awakened
Still lives-forever young,
And while we greet the sunlight
On the Fourth Of each July,
Wen ne'er forget the bellman,
Who, 'twixt the earth and sky,
Rung out OUR INDEPENDENCE;
Which, please God. shall reVer DIE.

ASSURES ECONOMIC STABILITY.

AS the election of Taft assures social peace a S the result of executive
influence exerted to heal differences and soften asperiies 80 the election
of a Republican congress assures economic stability, which is the essen
thl prerequisite to the expansion of business and material prosperity.
There will be some revision of the tariff, because the Republican party is
pledged to that course; but no man need fear to proceed with contem-
plated investments, for no man need fear impairment of the policy of
protection. 1t is safe to predict that the only important changes which
will be made will be the scaling down of the duties on a few products
which We're proper when enacted more than a decade ago, but which
changed conditions have rendered unnecessary. There will be no tariff
ripping. Industrial establishments can proceed with their plans in per-
feet confidence that American industries are safe from unfair compete
tin and that the wages of American labor can continue as they are.
And it is no small matter of congratulation that there will be a
congress with both branches in political accord with the president Poiti-
cal peace is almost al important as industrial and social peace. When one
branch Of congress is politically opposed to the other branch and to the
president the business of the country suffers by the continuous sparring
for political position. Whatever is done is a compromise and satisfies
no one, and, a a rule, ought to satisfy n o one. Efficiency in government
is possible only with all branches of the 1aw-making power in political
accord, and able to carry out the policy to which the party is pledged and
for which it is responsible to the whole people. From all standpoints the
results of the election OF 1908 are such as must make for the prosperity
of all classes of our people and all sections of II country. And they are
as fortunate for the minority IS for those by whose votes the result has
been obtained. And now we can all forget politics and go to work.

FRICTION IN THE ORIENT.

There is no doubt that the socaned "progressiyes" in China are
acquiring a deep national hatred of the Japanese. That class of Chinese
are beginning to fee. the emotion which we call patriotism, With them,
a with rs, 1t takes the form of claiming the country for its natives
They abhor the official presence of Japanese in Manchuria. The mer-
chants have a deep hatred of the competition of Japanese trade. 1t cuts
into their profits. Hatred of an intruder may be as potent a cause of
awakening a patriotic spirit Is any other cause. In times past, and per-
haps now. Chinese merchants would perhaps be perfectly willing to sell
arms and ammunition to Chinese rebels in western China, but it makes
their patriotic blood boil to have the Japanese do it. And the Japanese
have been doing it, and very likely still are. The arms in the japanese
vessel which was seized were unquestonably intended for the Chinese
rebels on the French border. There could have been no other market
for them. And the apology and indemnity which WI extorted from
China for the seizure aroused a national feeling which did not pass with
that incident because it was based on a japanese policy which is perman-
ent-that Of pushing Japanese trade into the interior Of China and by so
much impahtng the profits of Chinese in the port cities which have hith-
eto held It.
That seems TO be the reason for the continued boycott on japanese
goods md japanese ships which Chinese merchants seem determined to
maintain. II Is not confined to Chinese ports, but exists in Hongkong
which Is British territory. Some Chinese merchants located there seemed
disposed to abandon the boycott, and IS a result had their shops and
warehouses looted by a mob which, in China, as everywhere else, is al
ways ready to loot upon any pretext. The British authorities can and
VIII maintain order in Hongkong, but no British or any other authority
can compel Chinese merchants to patronize those whom they do not wish
to patronize. Tho boycott is mercantile and derives its force from the
determination of Chinese wholesale merchants to retain the monopoly Of
the trade with the interior of China which they have hitherto enjoyed
which has not hitherto existed in China.
