case has been contested bitterly for
many months. The alleged crimes were
all committed in the coast country. and
II was only after much difficulty thar
the men were brought back 10 WASH
mgton fer trial here
After a trial that was lengthy and
fought hard at each step, Benson and
Dimond We're acquitted, and the TWO
others found guilty.
Recently however, Hyde and Schneid-
er asked for a new trial, their grounds
being that the jurors who convicted
them had traded votes in order TO arrive
at a verdict. The twelve jurors who
served in the case were summoned. but
were not allowed 10 testify.
Hyde is considered very we'll to do.

The reports that Servia is dlsarming

of 1911, IL the present plans are car

teen fighting ships Of the Dreadnought

States six. In addition to its plans
for constructing new battleships. Great
Britain is in the market for the

IN NO HURRY.

An agitation started by "the better
class of Haytians' to induce the United
States government to assume a pro-
tectorate over that troubled repub-
lie should be discouraged. Hayti has
been trying without success for more
than a hundred years to establish a
stable government, but brute force is
still the recognized authority and the
few educated people there are asking
that our government take a hand in
the management of the affairs in order
that the vast natural resources of
Hayti may be conserved and developed.
The United States has not been par
tichlarly happy in the performance OF
its duty as international policeman for
Latin-America and the West Indies
and the national sentiment is strongly
in favor of go-slow policy in assum-
ing further duties or obligations in
that line. The nations experiments
in Cuba and Slnto Domingo, while
both have been highly successful in
establishing and maintaining better
governments than either of the coun-
tries ever had, have been sufficient to
satisfy fully any longing the country
may have had to act as foster-parent
of unruly waits. American interests
in Hayti are not sufficiently important
to Justify the establishment of a pro.
tectorate. Even to redress wrongs tc
American citizens the proper remedy
could be applied without involving u:
In permanent responsibility for the
government of the republic.
Eventually, perhaps, this country
may be called upon to exercise super
vision. II not actual government of tht
West India group of islands, but nc
plan to hasten the coming OF that tim,
should be encouraged.

THE HAND OF LINCOLN.
Edmund Clarence stedman.

Edmund Clarence Stedman.
Look on this cast, and know the hand
That bore a nation In its hold:
From this mute witness understand
What Lincoln was-how large of mould.
The man who sped the woodman's team.
And deepest sunk the plowman's share
And pushed the laden raft astream,
OF fate before him unaware.
This was the hand that knew to swing
The axe-since thus would Freedom train
Her son-and made the forest ring,
And drove the wedge, and toiled amain
Firm hand, that loftier office took,
A conscious leaders will obeyed,
w With steadfast might the - gathering; rim;
swayed.
No courtiers, toying with sword,
Nor minstrels, laid across a lutte;
A chiefs, uplifted to the Lord
When all the kings of earth were mute!
The hand of Anak, sinewed strong.
The fingers that on greatness clutch;
Yet, lol the marks their lines along
OF one who strove and suffered much.
For here in knotted cord and vein
L trace the varying chart of years;
The weight OF Atlas-and the tears.
Again 1 see the patient brow
That palm erewhle wont to press,
And now 'tis furrowed deep. and now
Made smooth with hope and tenderness.
For something of formless grace
This moulded outline plays about;
A plying flame, beyond our trace,
Breathes like spirit, in and out
The love that cast an aureole
Round one who, longer to endure,
Called mirth to ease his ceaseless dol.
Yet kept his nobler purpose sure.
Lo! as / gaze, the statured man,
Built up from yon large hand, appears:
A type that Nature wills to plan
But once in all peoples years.
What better than this voiceess cast
To tell of such a one as he
Since through its living semblance passed
That thought that bade race be free!

united republicanism against a divided
democracy, and the result was a triumph
for discipline and regularity,
So It has been ever since. When the
great republican statesmen were set aside
in 1853 for Grant, who had been pro-
slavery democrat, they gave him an un-
broken support. In the long series of con-
tests between Blaine and his opponents in
the party, when in convention after con-
vention the favorites were defeated and
Hayes, Garfield and Harrison were nomi-
mated, the party discipline was never re-
laNed save in one instance, and IN that
the detection was so slight that the change
Of a few hundred votes in New York would

party.

political intelligence and disorganized asl-
