F;;iM the gravely threatening dangers of a war with Fngland which sent a wave of patriotic excitement over the United states a few days ago, the country has lapsed into a state of comparative quiet. Iut patriotism lias not diminisheU. lt has merely subsided into inactivity. When not involved by necessity the war patriotism of this nation siinrdy lies dormant but there is, innate in the people of this great American union ot' the United States, an unquenchable spirit of freedom, of independence ami of love atid reverence foj country winch can not be dominated by injustice or oppression. A republicandemocratic spirit has been born on the western hemisphere which abhors the rule of monarchs and the distinctive titles and insignh of monarchial aristocracy. This spirit is voiced in the Monne doctrine almost precisely as in terpreted by President Cleveland in his recent Venezuelan message and is not

confined, either, to the United states but has spread itself over the America", liehtml this spirit and moved hy a deep

rooted and undying principle is a cer tain irresistible dynamic force inimeasurable in its immensity and une niuerab!e.

Uncle Sam is usually so good natured ami frowns so seldom that his just indignation is not looked upon lightly in any quarter of the earth. Tin; girls, (Jod bless them all, evidently think, and most ightly, too, that the highest duty of female life is to esteem highly and cultivate vigorously their personal beauty of face and form. Pretty women are the light and joy of life to us all, and the passion for the paraphernalia of the toilet is a I laudable one, winch the highest good of society demands should be zealously encouraged.

The I 'mted States as a nation comes as near being absolutely independent of all the world outside of its own limits as any nation in the universe. We have now a population of seventy millions, with territory sui-heient to support well, without overcrowding, three hundred millions. We are bounded on either side by oceans, and our territory extends through all the productive degrees of longitude and latitude. We can, and do grow, nearly every product of the dilTerent ones. There is hardly anything that enters into the consumption of a civilized people that is not capable of production in our territory. We can raise wheat, corn, potatoes, rice, and other cereals sullicient to feed the world, and cotton, tlax, wool and silk enough to clothe all mankind. We

have timber enough to build and fence the whole country, and coal fields sufficient to warm us for time illimitable, our coal oil and natural gas lields are inexhaustible, and our old, silver, copper, zinc, iron and other in hies already developed are sufficient for our own needs, no matter what demand may be

made on them, and our fisheries of all ! kinds are sufficient for our present and tutuie wants. Our national development has exceeded that of any nation that ever existed. Oui radroads, steam transportation, electricity, telegraph lines, telephones, and means of communication with a I parts of the land and of the world, are magnificent and wonderful. Moreover, we are able to manufacture for daily use all the immense natural products of the land, and there is no need of sending any of our products abroad, to be made into cloMung, or shoes, or machinery, or artillery. The inventive genius of Americans has produced and is ready to produce everything in the way of machinery, from the finest and most delicate watch, to the most ponderous

Last week a Polish family living near Kolhng Prairie and about twelve j miles from LaPorle drove through the rain to that city with a sick girl about ten years of age. The child was sick unto death and was taken to Doctor Meyer's oll'ice for treatment, when the doctor disclosed the fact that it was a case of malignant diphtheria of the very worst kind and that the child wai djing of the disorder, the child having been so long neglected that it was past all medical aid. The child could not be kept in the doctor's ollice and he went forth and hunted the city over for a place in which to permit it lo die and he found none. The alternative left was for the parents to take the dying child m their wagon and start for home, though the rain was falling in torrents, which they did with all the assurance of having a corpse before arriving home. Hero is

an opportunily for thought. The Herald says: "A city of ten thousand Christians and no place in which to die. Where is your hospital

Aumrl a Warlike Tinye. Friday night saw about the liist ripple of excitement Plymouth has felt since the Fourth ward decision. It was about '. o'clock and Mike SpiesholTer's saloon on Michigan street was the scene of the affair. Three men Charles Cressnei, Charles (lalloway and Charles Parrish were together in the saloon and evidently under the inlluence of liquor. A quarrel started between them, the war spirit rose high and finally Cressner inaugurated a new deal and presented the cold, steely glitter of an ugly revolver. The entrance of this new factor into the game intensified things somewhat and when Cressner shot there was a break for safer ground. Fortunately, no one was injured by the bullet. The man behind the artillery then i assumed the reins of authoritv. made the proprietor close the saloon and then took him safelv home.
