A WORLD GLIMPSE REVEALS
STRANGE CONDITIONS
" ml- '
(By J. P. Oilman, D. D.)
jThla has been a queer year In many
Trays. (There has been a constant cry
ing out for universal peace, and at the
same time a continued building of
larger sea-going "dreadnoughts" and
itia ..instruction of stronger fortifica
tions. Mr. Taft and Mr. Carnegie lead
JnZthls country, and yet tne unueu
states tries to eclipse all in the war-
shlp conteBt. It reraindB one of the
etdry told by . a garrulous youngster
who was a member of a minister's
family; there had been a call sent to
- the pater familias to become the pas
tor In an adjoining town. The good
man hesitated, but the wife saw H
ought to be a sure appointment. A
neighbor passing saw the lad and
said, "Say, Bub, are you going to
move?" "I guess we are, pap's up
stairs praying for light, but mother'
. busy packing up."
We are talking about peace, and
Btill consulting our own selves main
ly, it seems. Maybe a good way to
keep peace is with the sword as Gen
eral Grant once said. If we make
' our fighting boats so formidable, it is
possible the other fellow will keep
Ms bulldog at home. V
.j ... ;
Internal affairs of Europe ; have
been grumbling a little. Germany
seems to be carrying a chip on her
j shoulder.. Things were in quite a fer
ment once when the Moroccan ques
tion was mooted. The peace of Eu
rope was almost dissolved; but the
" national tailor came around and
patched thtagg up somewhat. Then
Italy went foraging for black Mussel
mans., It looks .now as if Tripoli li
to yield or else a general religious
war Is to devastnto the vims of the
regions touching the Turkish domain,
or if you scratch a Turk you Anil
a savage whether he live In Constan
tinople or in Africa. One touch ol
nature makes the world of Moham
medans unite in common warfare
against the aggressive Christian. The
Turk could make use of the Janizaries
now-a-dnys had he not destroyed
them ages ago. '
"-..
The Russian Bear courting Uouble
It seems, and Is unafraid of the con
sequences, apparently. He Is said to
be preparing a ukase against the ad
mission of any American Jews what
ever. Spain the ancient Jew-baiter now
yields all her honors in that line to
Russia". The Spanish inquiBltlon used
to burn them wholesale at the stake,
but the people of the white Tsar do
worse: they torture them ; to death
piece-meal and laugh at their wrlth-
lngs In their endeavor to feed and
clothe their dependent ones.
Diplomatically the Bear Is making
no friends In this direction. Now he
js reaching his paws down Into Mon
golia, taking advantage of th In
ternecine turmoil in China, and has
-prepared .'.to assume a . protectorate
tover that ;, barren Una of sands and
':' almost eter ice. This la the region
between the AUal-Tagh mountalna and
the great wall on the south, and the
southern Siberia line ; on the north.
It Is filled with a nomadic sort of
folk who live mainly by their herds
of horses and sheep. In this way he
5a making no friends with Janan,
China, or Persia.
China may he too busy Just at pres
ent to be able to give much attention
to the northern thief. The homeless
Manchu may want to take a hnnd In
the matter, for he has nowhere now to
lay his head.
Yet possibly he thinks he has Per
sia under his foot with X5ngland to
- protect him against other oomers. It
seems that these two powers have
succeeded in ousting the - American,
Shuster, from the treasury ilopartmont
of the land of the ancient Xerxes,
Esther and Cyrus. ?

"Remember the Maine!" was the
. slogan ten' years ago. Forgot the
Maine! must be, the one henceforth.
The board' of inquiry that has been
In existence a third of a generation
has decided by actual examination
that the explosion was caused by out-
side Influences. It may jiever op
known that the Spaniards per se did
Jt or connived at It, but we do know
It was done in waters that never more
' -will be Spanish. It was dono under
tho floating flag of .Moro's Spanish
castle, and most suspiciously, if tho
Spaniards did it, It was about theonly
killing they made; and It had to be
done when the victims were naloep.
So, hereafter-we will forget tho Mnlne
remember Cuba's needs and posalbll-

The new King of Englnnd is . ke

Invincible T. R.', he will by his mar
tial example send silent terror to the
hearts of the nations,' The dispatches
announce that he has Just killed 30
tigers and 13 rhinoceroses. It would
