AMERICAN COMMON S5N9E.
Gunton Mueazine.—It is often said
that "blood tells." It Is certainly tfue
in this country that character, sense
and education tell In the politics of
the nation. There are times when the
most patriotic become fearful of the
future. Sometimes political opinion
swings almost senselessly in the di
rection of chaos, but it has several
times been demonstrated that the
American people can be trusted to talise
the safe side of all great national
questions. While sensation and class
feeling seems to have a threateningly
strong hold on public sentiment, there
is a very strong, vein, of real patriot
ism, genuine love of democratic "Insti
tutions. find faith in popular govern
ment In the people of the United Stat
es. Although passion and prejudice
mny seem to'triumph for a time, per
sistent. straightforward.- sensible conr
d'K-! on puMic questions,, and even
criticism of the seemingly popular sen
timent. in the long run gets recogni
tion and rcnlly creates confidence wltb
the masses.'
