Vet the greatest effects have not been In Europe; 1S08 has seen the United States forced, not by any greed of power, but by its humanitarian ideals, to take its part in European rela tions. A brief but glorious armed conflict with Spain has been begun, prosecuted to Its end and settled by a treaty of peace upon which the ink Is scarcely dry. The inception of great political changes has been witnessed in China; two European rulers have come to their death; several men and women prominent in statecraft military affairs, reform, literature and music, have passed away; the year has been marked by some terrible marine dis asters, causing great loss of life; and fire, flood and storm have numbered their vic time by scores snd caused extensive loss of property.
