Those who had embraced the cause of France in the controversy between that nation and the United States, had been overwhelmed by a flood of testimony which silenced them for a time, but which weakened them more in appearance than in reality. They were visibly recovering both strength and confidence.
And the passengers near by were more amused than before by the attitude and appearance of the two engaged in the controversy. "Are you aware of what you have done?" demanded Major Pater, at last "Humph! Tucker of the Fourth, isn't it?" "Ye ye yes, sir," gasped Tommy. Then: "One of the Tuckers, sir." "Oh! Ah! Can there be two such awkward Tuckers?" demanded Major Paten "Humph!
It has developed into a cult of sportsmanship; so universally accepted among men as of superlative merit as to quite blind them to other standards of judgment. In the Cook-Peary controversy of 1909, this canon was made manifest. Here, one man had spent a lifetime in trying to accomplish something; and at the eleventh hour succeeded.
They were now able to propose a few amendments in it, and in this way they meant to fight out the controversy. It was soon found impossible to avoid a searching revision. Ill-compacted clauses invited rearrangement, and older churches, like Jerusalem or Antioch, might claim to share with Cæsarea the honour of giving a creed to the whole of Christendom.

I have no concern in your controversy I know not its merits, and propose simply to content myself with the position of a spectator. I presume there is nothing offensive in such a station."
But, as has often happened in other fields after years of acrimonious controversy, a new discovery or two may suffice to show that neither contestant was right.
All these varieties tend less to new races than to cluster about type-centres, and can go no further than certain fixed limits of variation, beyond which all oscillations cease. But none of these questions touch the real marrow of the controversy as to origin, or aid us in determining the duration of species.
Bentham was the source of philosophy, and Mill only his prophet. But Mill, who was capable of activity in practical affairs, was more useful to a man of the world. The first business which brought them into close connection was the Lancasterian controversy. The strong interest roused by this agitation was significant of many difficulties to come.
