BRITAIN AND THE STATES.

White the war is progressing, not 80 quickly as some of them desire, the people of the United States are quietly discussing problems arising out of their recent “ new departure.” What shall be done with the Philippines? What will the effect of the war be upon iuternational relations ? What about « British-American alliance? The hollowness of the friendship of their tra- ditional friends, Russia and France, ba* been exposed. But can the great Republig accept the outstretched hand of Great Britain and goin to promote peace and free trade throughout the world? Hitherto the people of the United States have been taught to regard the people of the British Empire asa tyrannous, perfidious, over- bearing and unscrupulous lot of money lenders and land grabbers whom it was their duty to teach their children to guard against. Bat they are now, themselves, involved in European and Asiatic en- tanglemente, the Monroe Doctrine to the coutrary notwithstanding, and they must of necessity have their friends as well as their foes in the great community of nations. They have incurred the hostility of France and Germany and cooled the friendship of Rassia by their interference with the affairs of Spain; and they are constrained to con. sider the advisability of accepting the friendship of Great Britain. ©The motive of the Government of Great evident. Great Britain has been deliber- ately isolated by the Earopean nations. However confident her people may be in their own powers, her Government is too wise to pit her against the world in arms So they turn to the

if they can help it. United States and frankly suggest that the two nations, representing the Anglo-Saxon race and speaking the English language, shall stand together, with Japan, for peace if peace can be maintained; to fight, if fighting must bedone. There can be no doubt that Lord Salisbury had an eye to the state of Europe and the “splendid isolation” of Great Britain when he declinéd to take up the gauntlet eo foolbardily thrown down by President Cleveland about two years ago. If he had taken the United States ata disad- vantage and replied to the Olney dispatch with a fleet of war vessels, he would un- doubtedly have added a brilliant martial feat of arme to the glorious record of his country’s deeds. But the coolnead- ed statesman eaw that it would not be considered fair to plunge the English- speaking people into a fracticidal war on account of the folly of a few ill-man- nered and unbalanced United States poli- ticians; and he saw, too,that the strength of Anglo-Saxcndom would be much better employed in promoting peace and com~ merce througbout the and in defeating the formidable cabals if the enemies of freedom. He tnerefore held out the hand of friendship aud promoted the arbitration of the States in the Venez- The Spanish-

uela boundary matter, American complications may tend to the speedy accomplishment of his designs. The United States now need a friend as well as Great Britain.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—_—_————

—War’s alarms prevail in the United States.

—The news of to-day is decidedly sen- sational, We seem to be on the eve ofa really great war.

—Mailand Empire: Uncle Sam’s chief diversion this summer seems likely to con~ sist in staking claims, the Philippines, Cuba, and Hawaii being amoung the most valuable.

— The Mail and Empire, of Toronto, is singular in having sent a lady correspond- ent— Kit ”—tc the seat of war, At latest accounts Kit was in Washington interview- ing the heads of Departments and forming an opinion concerning the heartof the Great Republic. She says that “ One of the moet noticeable things about the State Departments at Washington is the facility with which one can appreach the heads of affairs. There is no hint or suspicion of red tape; no waiting about the great man’s door, or “tipping” of attendants; no formalities to gothrough. All is direct and simple. If you have business with any of the menof affairs; you can go in and transact it. No matter how great the excitement, how heavy the press of work, you are received instantly, and with the greatestcourtesy. We were present ted first to Mr. Charles W. Ruseell, assiat- ant attoraey in the Department of Justice. This gentleman was the first to help to wards getting the Government to issue a war permit to a woman, and a correspond- ent of a Canadian newspaper. He isa man of intelledtual appearance, refined and courteous in manner. He had much to tay of the deplorable state of affairs in Cuba, of which he had personal knowledge, having visited the island and reported on what he found there to the Government and press of his country. When asked if the ac- counts of the sufferings of the Cubsns had

not heen exaggerated, he replied that so

’ nlf et tuc Lusicts bed but beeu told. Lauguage falls short when itie called upon to expre- ss the misery of the starving creatures, two hundred thousand of whom have al- ready died because they had nothing to eat. The whole situation was summe up in one short saying: “I saw only the starving womenand children,” said Mr. Russell. “ The men were all dead.” The sad words brought a conviction of heplese~ ness with them that I find difficu.t to convey to you in printed words.

TOLD BY THE CIRCUS MAN.

How They Made Use of the Giraffe as a Walking Flagstatf.

‘*Sometimes,’’ said the old circus man, ‘“‘we used to h’ist a flag on the big giraffe and make a walking flagstaff of him. We never did this unless there was a pretty fair breeze blowing and in the right direc- tion and never except in street parades. Standing, as he did, 18 fect high, he made a pretty altitudinous kind of a flagstaff, and it used to please the people mightily to see the flag flying from him. And you can set it down with entire safety that we always made the most we could of it when we did h’ist the flag.

“If the morning was right, we used to put a headstall on him with a small block attached, and flag halyards rove through that and carried down and made fast around one of his fore legs. It was some- thing like the arrangement we had for h’isting his medicine up to him that time when he had a stiff neck—in fact, I think it was that that suggested the idea of h’ist- ing the flag on him.

‘*We used to get the halyards all ready before we lined up in the street, but we never bent on the flag till just before we were ready to start. The big giraffe used to march at the head of the procession. The band wagon was up pretty near the head, with just a few horsemen ahead of it, be- tween it and the giraffe. A man would walk up tothe giraffe and cast the hal- yards loose and bend on the flag, and you can bet it was always a bright and hand- some one. There used to be about a mil- lion people standing looking on at this, and when everything was all ready the old man would give the signal.

‘The signal to h'ist was also the signal for the band to play. band was always standing up in the band

drummer’s drumstick with it and every horn came in on time. As the flag soared up the giraffe’s neck to the head you could hear the calliope coming in, down the line. The flag would alweys tloat out gayly, and that was inspiriting, and then away we'd go, with the flag a-flying, the band a-playing and the calliope a screeching, and all the people on the sidewalk’ hollering like mad!
