'tdent ClevelandTs statement of what the
administration had done to maintain
the Monroe doctrine and his intimation
of what it was prepared todo in thet
line was no play to the grandstand.
The paragraph in his message which
contained the statement has not a line
or sentence of spreadeagleism ; it mere-
ly notifies the world in dignified and
diplomatic language that the Monroe
Doctrine ia not.a fantasy, but a fixed
fact behind which is all the strength
of the United States. There is a cue
for. President Cleveland in the unan-
imous support of that portion of his
message by Democrats in both House
} and Senate. It shows the possibility
of uniting the Democrats, notwithstand-
ing radical differences of opinion on
the financial question, and of the
party putting up a stiff fight in the
Presidential campaign. Not only are
the Democrats all pleased with the
PresidentTs Monroe doctrine talk, but
some of ~the Republicans have not
hesitated to openly commend _ it-nine-
tenths of them are . committed toT the
support of the Monroe doctrine. For
oHis. treatment. of our foreign affairs
seems to be conservative and. satisfic-
tory,� and Senator Lodge, ot Mass.,

While President ClevelandTs views
on Cuban affairs are not popular with
jt|those who allow their sentiment and
enthusiasm to sway their judgment,
there are many level-headed people, in
in, both House and Senate declaring
in favor of the recognition of the
belligerency of the Cuban revolution-
ists. At least thatTs the way it looks
now. ~Two such resolutions have al
ready been introduced in the Senate

the House. There will b¢ some sky-

It seems to be disturbing some peo-
ple because the President devoted his
| message exclusively to foreign affairs
and national finances leaving the
~routine affairs of the goverment to. the
heads of the various executive depart-

The President evidently did not ex-
pect Congress to accept his recommen-.

backs and Treasury notes and the issue
of long-time, low interest bonds, upon
which National bank ~notes might be

government for a specific answer as to
whether its demands for the tergitory
claimed by Venezuela would be sub-
mitted to arbitration is now on its way
to Washington. Should it bea re-
fusal to arbitrate, as itis said to be,
President Cleveland will at once send
a special message to Congress, and the
Republicans will have a chance to
show what they are willing to do. for
the maintenance of the Monroe doc-
trine.
Is seems that at least: President
Cleveland has succeeded in nominating
u man for a seat on the bench of the U.
S. Supreme Court who is. satisfactory
to everybody and whose nomination
will be unanimously confirmed by the
Senate. The lucky man is Judge
Rufus W. Peckham, now a member
of the Appellate Court of New York, a
lifelong Democrat, and a brother of W.

I stooped and bid it in my hand,
And wonderTd who might be the loser;
She could not ssk me for the band!
How such a question would confuse her!
Returning with it to my place,
I wonder'd if my cheek.»were flushing;
In turn I scanned cach lovely face,
Until I saw how'you were blushing!
My own: pefception IThad wronged,
To think that I would not have kriown her,
To whom this dainty band belonged;
No one but you could be the owner.
So thus I send it back to you,
Around this bunch of blushing roses!
One found it whom you never knew;
Whose name no hint of mine discloses.
I-would not have you guess "twas I,
For that might put constraint upon you.
Perhaps you'll know me by and by;
Perhaps you'll lové me! When ITve won you
I'll whisper that ~twas I who found
This clinging silken band of yellow.
We're strangers, still I will be bound, "

The Muscles. of the Hand.
In the palm of the hand, and be- |
tween the metacarpal bones, there
are small muscles (lumbricales and
interossei) which perform the finer
motions"expanding the fingers and
moving them in every diréction
o
gmall muscles, attached to the near
extremities of the bones of the fin-
gers where they form the first: joint,
motion, moye the ends of the fingers
with. very. great velocity... They are
the organs which give the hand the
motions of the musicianTs fingers,
they are called by the anatomists
fidicinales. The combined strength
of all the muscles, in grasping, must
-be very great; indeed, the power is
| exhibited when we. see a sailor hang-
ing by a rope and raising his whole
body with one arm. What, then,
myst he the pressure upon the hand?
It would be too much for the tex:
ture even of bonés and tendons, and
certainly for the blood vessels and
nerves, were not the palms of the
hands, the inside of the fingers and
their lips guarded by cushions.
add to this purely passive defense
ports the cushion on the inner edge;
it acts powerfully as we grasp, and
it is this muscle which, raising the
edge of the palm, hollows it, and
adapts it to lave water, forming the
cup of Diogenes."Cincinnati En-
quirer.
. Human Nature.
Iam a great friend of human na-
ture, and I like it. all the better be-
cause it has had to suffer so much
unjust reproach. It seems to me
that we are: always mistaking our
conditions for our natures, and say-
and mean and false and cruel, when
only its conditions. are so. . We say
you must, change human nature if
you wish to have human prother-
hood, but we really mean that you
must change human conditions, ~and
this is quite feasible. It has always
ready for new and fitter conditiens,
~| although many sages have | tried to
rivet, the. old ones upon it, out. of
some such mistaken kindnass as
would forbid the crustacean a change
of shell. The state of the crustacean
after this change takesT place is per-
its old shell on forever would be."
