REUNION is UNDER WAY.

Notwithstanding Roosevelt's re-
peated and vehement assertions that
the Progressive party cannot be al
lied or amalgamated with the Repub-
lican without defilement, reconcilia-
ton goes on, not only by return of in
dividua seceders to the Republican
ranks, but by formal alliance of the
two parties in entire states.
In Michigan, which gave Roosevelt
a plurality of 10000, reconciliation
has been completed on platform so
reactionary in Roosevelt's eyes as
to except judges from the recall. In
almost all other respects the Pro
gressive platform is accepted, but in
most particulars it is only little
more radical than that of the Repub-
licans, and can therefore be adopted
by them without sacrifice of princi-
pie. The Republican name is retain
ed. All that remains of the Progress
sive party is few platform planks.
The bond of union in Michigan
is common opposition to the Demo-
Gratis So it will be in other states.
The divided Republican forces will
find that their division is on the
personality of Roosevelt, while on
all vital political principles they
are of one mind. Being able to
meet on the common ground of OPP
position to Democratic principles,
they are irrestibly drawn together,
and all the protests of Roosevelt vii nj
be powerless to prevent their joining
forces.
The great split of 1912 promises
to go into history as a bolt, not
as the birth of new party.

My good friend points out that the
English people have been prophets OF
nationalism since the treaty of Berlin
in 1878 What does this mean? That
sense of fairness to weaker nations
anteed freedom to develop its own ma
tional life and genius along its chosen
lines, secure from the aggression of
powerful neighbors. So Turkey was
guaranteed against Russia by the Ber-
lin treaty. Nearly a decade before that
time Belgium was guaranteed by Mr..
Gladstone against the supposed desings
of the Bismarckian ambition. 1t might
perhaps be said that British diplomacy
has served the interests of weaker
nationalities when British interests
could be served at the same time, and
with a good deal OF truth in the cyni-
cism. But, on the other hand, the keen

built up on a basis of justice and truth

marry her. The orloff is the largest of
