But that was a possibility of a few years ago. Today government in South America is on a more stable basis. Instability of government as a chronic condition has been trans- ferred from the western to the eastern hemisphere. It is a striking fact, worthy of more attention than has been given it, that} there Is greater security of life and property and more settled public order in the new world today than in the old. With both Europe and Asia in ferment, governments tottering and human liberty cheaply held, the na- tions of North and South America are at peace among themselves and have internal order. Even in Mexico, so long a reproach to the western world, conditions appear to be improving, and to have all the advantage In a comparison with some of the older na- tions of Europe.

The republican senators are now discussing the question of what meas- ures should be marked “must” for this session, and what bequeathed to the short session. It is clear enough that meastres left over will stand small if any chance of enactment into law by this Con- The short session will have a card crowded with measures of its own, and no time for left-overs. Its pre- scribed length is three months, but only two are avallable for leading work. The first fortnight of a short session is usually devoted to chores, and the second to the Christmas holi- days. The routine measures—the sup- ply bills—require at least two months —January and February—for their dispatch; and the routine measures now are full of debate. Consider, then, the possibility—some think the probability—of the election of a democratic House in November. If that takes place, everything on Capitol Hill will come to a halt. The argument of the democrats will be that as the country has disapproved ‘The recent Fourth of July brought to attention the usual number of peo- ple who did not know any more than the first two lines of the Declaration North and South Unite in Tributes to Lincoln, “why should we find fault if the Popular opinion in the south, as|southern historian arbitrarily dates expressed in southern papers, does|thé war a few minutes later?” Ementier £ 6 of the _A”“."i of the record made by the republicans, | %L I'l’d;p:""""“,, end “The Star|,.: support the United Confederate It the pecplo of the south “want te there is to be found every essential| | 0 pyrther except the routine |SPensied Banper.
