SCOFFS AT UNCLE SAM.

LONDEN PAPER SAYS WE ARE A FOURTH-RATE POWER. '■ f ' 1 England Is Called Upon to Show the Iron Hand Within Her Silk GloveBayonets Protect Working Miners— Churches Lend Aid. Plays Only a Minor Role. The Loudon Globe, in an editorial on the futility of arbitration with a power “which disregards alike the legal prescriptions and ordinary courtesies of civilized nations,” says: “Lord Salisbury has treated the United States with a kindness it does not deserve, always wearing the silk glove, until America has forgotten the existence of the iron hand beneath it.' In conclusion, the Globe reinarks: “The idea of onr being afraid of a fourth-rate power like the United States could only have occurred to sufferers from a severe attack of swelled head. America has lost all sense of proportion and has forgotten she plays only a minor role in the affairs of the world. We hope our relations with America will hereafter be distinguished by a firmer tone, as the only way to avert trouble is to make her plainly understand that we are determined not to be shouted out of our rights.” Athletes of the hinmon 1.
