Hope and Despair.
Let a whirl of mania forestall the final outlet of the whirl of evolution, and the Insurrectionary explosion m: y flash across the continent, irom senhoard to seaboard, between the rise and set of the sun. Then the re! 0 j the prudent wise of the multitude is lost in the reign of terror. Mania, the Infernal goddess, whose baud brandishes the torch, may show by it t :e road to the guillotine. For the cut j quarter of a century we have idh p the land with the discontented n yriads of the old world; they came expecting freedom, but have found new servitudes; they came, led on by hop;:; !’-■ y sit down brooding*and sullen with pair; the skier- do rot brighten to t i, they darken and darken on. Socle' nationalism and the kindred prepare' ry movements, by instilling hope an ; patience into the oppressed, mas -.0r., hold in suppression the explosive forces; hut these forces are approaching jter.cJy near the surface; the limits of the ; duty line are very nearly overpass !. - The New Republic.
