PAINTING EXHIBITION.

k. J. Bosence, son of Mrs. Bosence, of Monterrow Downs, has painted bit of mountain scenery at Monroe, Washing ton, U. s. A., for H. II. Hutton that IS attracting considerable attention from the people of Globe. The scene depicte l IS the Sheep Gap of the Sultan Basin, Tn the Olympia mountain, on the other side of the Cascades. Towering snow capped mountains, dense forests. foli- age, and a rushing stream are portrayed realistically in rich cheerful colors. The entire work is of high order, and stamps MT. Bosence as an artist of rare ability. So widespread is the interest in this painting that Mir. Hutton has consented to exhibit it in public at Naquin's $ fur niture store. MT. Bosence will remain in Globe for some time, as he has been asked to use his brush for the edifca- ton of some prominent people with tLe love of art. During his spare intervals he will paint small subjects on canvass that may be purchased at very small price. It is seldom that an opportunity of this nature presents itself to the peo. pie of Globe or any other city, to be able to purchase the work of an artis: of the ability of Mir. Bosence. In an. other column of this issue you may read what he has to offer.

If all this stirs the prejudice of other nations against us and leads us to rumors of wars, as our course is sure to do, then our trade suffers. But then we are very brave and very strong, or think we are; and we must not let con alterations like these stop us from "as. serting our rights What an oppor- unity, moreover, for the patriotic or ator!
 But it is apparent that our country cannot have safe and constant foreign policy, worth the dignity and place of a great nation in the world of affairs, so long as the states, in the exercise of their claims of sovereignty, are disposed or permitted to interfere with it. The outcome cannot at present be foretold But it is certain we have not yet de veloped a consistent constitutional sys tenn.

FOREIGN POLICY UNOPENED
Divided Sovereignty the Cause for an
 Uncertain Attitude

From the Portland Oregonian.
 There are several reasons why Ameri- can foreign policy can as yet be scarce ly called definable thing. One of them is the comparative newness of our rela- tions with the world at large. Till re- gently we have had little to do with other nations, and could escape en- tanglenents with them; but through the events of the past ten years we have been carried by the course of events into larger relations with the affairs of the world, and we cannot es- cape the responsibility in which this change has placed us. A further reason why we have no definite foreign policy is the divided nature of our soveregnty at home. The states claim sovereignty over many things that relate to or come in contact with foreign policy, and es- pecially with the treatment of aliens in our midst; and foreign nations can scarcely see why, when they have made treaties with the United States, there should be claims of local sovereignty by various states that ignore or nullify rights guaranteed by treaty with our national government. Truth is, the sit uation is "raw'' one. A government of united or divided sovereignty is Ii able to trouble at home, as our civil war attested; and to trouble with other nations, as we find from the present difficulties with Japan.
 Whether our country, therefore, can ever have definable foreign policy may be for the present matter of opin- ion or dispute. Going on in our crude and clumsy way, we may avoid wars, but we certainly shall suffer in trade. We are constantly in hot water ill our foreign relatiors-at one time with Germany, and at this moment with Ja- pan, over the interpretation of the most favored nation'' clause; with Canada about fisheries and seals; with Cuba about her position under our pro tectorate; with the Japanese over their rights in Hawaii and the Philippines. We make a trace question: as no ether nation does, in tho matter, of in-
