CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31 1856<br />
Abstracts 693 - 698<br />
EUROPE (Cont'd)<br />
would be preferable. This country has nothing to fear from a war with<br />
England.<br />
While the present system exists in England, the aristocracy will monopolize<br />
the commissions, the control of the army, and, therefore, the<br />
liberties of the people.<br />
"Never again will England emulate the deeds of those who conquered the<br />
Armada lill she returns to the policy of giving the rule to those best<br />
fitted to command, till she shakes off the yoke of aristocratic routine,<br />
till she rebukes the doctrine that poverty is a crime." (I6)<br />
693 - L Apr. 8; ed:2/1 - The late war in Europe was declared with the<br />
purpose of staying the aggressions of despotism. That its purpose was<br />
turned aside, every lover of European liberty acknowledges with shame and<br />
disgust. After two years of waste in time, money, and men, it was Napoleon,<br />
not France, who was the gainer. It was he who instigated the war and became<br />
known as the successful adventurer.<br />
"Who knows that before twenty years the same thing may be enacted. In<br />
the former instance, Britain as an ally was disgraced; as an enemy she<br />
was conquerer. It may be so again." (9)<br />
EXCURSIONS & PICNICS<br />
694 - L July 7: 1/5 - The pleasure excursion of the QUEEN OF THE WEST on<br />
July 4 was a brilliant affair. Mr. Prosser informs us that the net<br />
proceeds of the excursion were $300. (2)<br />
695 - L July 7:3/2 - The steamer OCEAN was crowded with passengers, mostly<br />
Germans, on a pleasure excursion yesterday morning. (1)<br />
696 - L Aug. 4:3/2 - The NORTH STAR, a beautiful and swift steamer, will<br />
make a grand excursion trip through Lake Superior, leaving at eight p.m.<br />
tonight. (2)<br />
EXPLORATION<br />
697 - L Jan. 11; ed:2/1 - Dr. Kane's lecture before the geographical<br />
society in New York stirred up excitement that will probably result in<br />
another Arctic expedition. We expect discoveries of value to geographical<br />
science.<br />
Out of 25 polar expeditions in the last 30 years, only onc cost the<br />
lives of the leaders and crew. The peculiarities of the regions are so<br />
well known since Dr. Kane's exploration that a well-officered expedition<br />
could hardly perish.<br />
"We bel ieve there is too much Yankee thirst for know ledge and love of<br />
adventure in the American people to let this opportunity for winning undYIng<br />
fame slip by unattempted." (12)<br />
EXPORTS. See Commerce - Foreign Trade<br />

698 - L Feb. 21: 1/4 - John Beedy was fined $3.36 yesterday for draying<br />
