Is England Seeking European War?

The Post declares that back Of every
diplomatic move by Great Britain IS
the desire to hold its commercial su-
pr"nacy, aud being jealous of the
growing power of Germany, England
is now trying to stir up trouble be-
tween France and Germany. This is
the way the Post sees it:

DO YOU quicken to no sigh
Does no smallest piercing cry.
Break the silence where you lie,

Once we left our books and play,
once we came with running feet
When we heard The stirring drum,
Heard the soldiers in the street.
When we pushed between the knees along
the line.
When we saw the Jackets blue,
Heard the fifer filing true,
Then we wished that we were you.
Brave and fine.
Now we think how still you lie.
And low low your grassy tents
Think how chill the graveyard air,
And how cold the monlnontS:
50 we know you must be glad to have
come,
Glad of blossoms that we spill.
Glad of banners bright and still,

And the drum.

Where the upland povcr pipes.

Yet our thinking comes to this,
only You of all the earth
Lu,w wonder that is hid from such

Why We draw the qpickcncd breath,
WHY we pant for soldier death

Now the crowds and music pass

What we pant for you have found,
Lying Straightly underground.
Without motion, without sound
All arrow

For the trumpet frotS and crics.
And we cannot see il clear
For the banners blind our eyes,
And the warm air stirs the bright houShS

And we think perhaps We. too.

There are something like 1000 ballot

there has been very general suspicion
that Hearst was actually elected mayor
and that the office was stolen from
him l'y Tammany for George J.. Ne
tlcllan. It mas taken the Mex Nnri.
courts three years to authorize the re-
count ana . change Of 100 votes in ia
vor Of Hearst will elect him to an Of
iict who's" term is now nearly two
thirds over. 1t would hardly be to the
CrcGit of New York to have such q
man as Hearst for its mayor but if
more people voted for him than Tor Nc
ClcIlan he is certainly entitled to the
office, and if the present proceedings
let the light of day into the corners of
Talnmany election methods they will
prove Il public benefit. 1t is this fca-
turc which attracts much more general
interest Than any personal struggle be
