Iu olther caso tho Interest obviously springs out of jolflsh ground. Tho viewpoint' from which wo nbsorro things often de cide whnt tho verdict shall bo. It is somewhat of n puzzlo to tho average man by what stnndnrd nn ontlro nation Is adjudged to bo sick. Presumably thoro must bo symptoms Indlcntlvo of health or sickness, and men with a broad scopo of wisdom, a ponetrntlng Insight and highly de volopod powers of discrimination deduce loss known truths from symptoms already known. In this connection It must bo borne in mind that tho conclusion may dif fer materially. Tho optomist will pronounce everything good whoro tho pessimist finds cnuso for bolng alarmed. Thus a nation, like nn Individual, may nt tho sumo time bo pronounced to be both well nnd sick by authorities. Tho resun. Is that a nation as woll ns an Individual can not to a mnthonintlcnl certainty bo Burn whethor ho Is well or sick, or both at tho same time. Take a survoy of our own coun try, for Instance. Prior to the last olectlon circulars were sont broad cast over the entire country contain ing briefs of the brilliant achieve ments to be accredited to tho ad ministrations of tho various politi cal parties. These enumerated ln glowing terms the unprecedented wave of prosperity ushered in by the despair, llosides, all of them want ed to mnko pretty plain that they, and nobody olso, spoko tho eiitlro truth. It is easy to discern tho con clusion that peoplo Inovitably must como to. Now, thoro Is no Immlnont danger In calling oui-bolves sick, ns long ns nobody Joins in tho refrain. Hut tho mliiuto soma ono olso tolls tho sumo story our iro flames up. which of course, makes manifest thnt wo do not always mean everything wo say. Consequently, It will do for political opponents to scatter broad cast tho statement thnt tho nation Is sick enough to go to tho wall, hut no othor nation may parrot that statomeut. Such breaks of tho eti quette current among tho brothor hood of nations have lu times past caused tho offender deeply to ro grot his Indiscretion, and, Indirect ly holpod to incrcaso tho solf-es-teem of our own country. Yet, wo cannot dony that thoro aro some symptoms found that cause reflection. Thoy stand forth ns characteristics of our ago and there fore should not bo entirely Ignored. If souio Intolllglblo mennlng could bo derived from tlio Indistinct lmb blo of complaints echoing through out tho length and breadth of our commonwealth, It would seom to In dlcato that something very esson tlal to tho enjoyment of llfo woro lacking. Tho statesmen, the poli ticians, tho philosophers, tho preach ers, tho educators, tho business men. tho working men, perhaps, would nil of them give information ns to tho many things needed. Hut they would diffor both as to tho causes and tho remedial agents. The difficulty of surveying the en tire field and tho disposition to look at circumstances almost exclusive ly from their respective angles or Interest renders an Impartial diag nosis almost impossible.
