Confederacy, t

The Queen’4 influence was suffleient with Lord Pal^rston and Lord Bussell to keep them Ibrom proceeding to the extremity of recognition of the Southern Confederacy. Resides Queen Victoria. Dtoraeli was ohr friend; so wae the Duke of Argyll; ee were Cobden, Bright Thomas Hughes, Cmef Justice Cederidge, Charlee Vfllera. Sir Qeorge Comewall Lewis, James Bryca, Ooldwin Smith, and we had thousands of friands among Ute workingmen the great manufacturing towns, but it Is true that with the exceptions we have named, the leading Tories and leading Liberals were against our country. QtMsn Victoria's good-will and the goOd-WUl and good aenae of Lord IdTona. the British minister at Washingtmi, saved us. iLmiI Palmerston and Lotd JtAto RusseU ihd Oiadstone prayed for

that four defeat ^

It wae not tajt this instaniw, a» It was not to the Instaikee of the Hason-BUdetl affair, that we owed our escape to Bussla. Russia wae our friend, the Oregonian concedes, Just as Prance has been eur friend in the war for independence — and for the same reason; ttot because the empire of France or ef Russia had any sympathy with tha WaatMm republic, but because they had a giievanoe against England France was foir crippling Sngland, her

toaWliSa niih*T!g too many ot them belong f^«at rtvaJ in the world, and Russia want-

to the sanw family. Each of his <maraetore must have relationships outside of those of his own family, and this necessarily InvolveB the owation of different sets ef people somewhat widely separated fa blood and station. It Is more Important, for instance, that Becky fflmrp tosuld know the Bedleys, tbe OsbonMa and the Crawleys thM that she should have * a doxen brothers and sistam. But how do we know that she did not have brotnere and slstofs? Tbe author domi not say that she had. but neither does he say that shs

had not.

On the whole, we do not think that PubUo Optaiem has made aa Important discovery. It Is interesting; but to rio wi^ vltaL The leoductlve power of a novelist M 'bettor shown by the charaoter Of his charaetora than by their number. Ferhito* It may not |m amlM to aay that this is otae of the few rules that applies both to the actual world and to the world of fiction. We hardly dare say—lest we should he guilty of heresy—that a large family even in actual life is not a good thing in and for aad by Itself. It le a good thing if it Is a good famlly^-other-wlse It'^ls a very bad thing. Certainly this le true of fiction. And as it Is with thed that dlsonsMoa is Ooneemed. peilMiw it would be safer fer us to leave the other branch of the discussion to President Rooeevelt.

A MISSiD JOEM.

The Charleston News and Courier is an excellent pa^at, but It seems to be defielMtt to Its sense of humor. In tbe New Tork Bun a few days ago there was an aMb argument for the abolition of the Uzdtod States IfUitary Academy as an antiquated tastitution. ^ After dwelling on the coetUnese ef the academy, and tosistIng that "the up-to-date soldier can be, and is, amds with lem tomthle and no expense to the Oovemment.” the Bun asked, "why waste the time of these yoasm mm as wiU as tbs Qovemment'b

moaeyT" Tbwi follows this:

Tbe most successful soldier In the United States — obosen for hla i^ace by the wlseot head to the nation —never wastcHi any time to preparing for a military career. A glance at the records of the 4M men he has passed to the race for the prise they all coveted, reveals how they wasted toito ttow. Some ef them, were honor man «t Wdto Fhlat A num-» ber of them spent their ttxhe during the Indian wars, and many of them were breveted three and four tlnies for the eld-fashlened jwMtostag at hntletain,

Bsirs Bluff, Lookout mountain and Qettysburg. But so dafloient are they in the knowledge of the duties of a soldier that few can distinguish between ooUo aad appendldtla Row many at them eqn diecover the psyohologloal moment fer administering subnitrate of bismuth or oolocynth hyoscyamust It is such soldierly duties as these that,call for the awnflon ot West Point and the estahMshment of a greater eohool. where the future geummls of the army-may lean toe art of nwdtcine and the scteace of smooth

polltioa

In Us answer to this the News and courier soberly pnUests egalnct the preposal to abolish West Point, assumes that (Jenend Mllee is the num referred to as "the most successful soldier to the United States," and closes by saying that "the MlMtary Academy at West Point Is one ot the most deserving iasUtutione ef the Government, and Instead of being abdIshed. it ought to be .greatly enlarged and more liberally sndowed." We wonder tf the Charleston paper Is not also JoktngT If it is serious, and It Is hard to beUeve that It to, we wonder further If ft has ever heard of Gen. Leonard Wood, who Is, by the test of easy promotion, far and away the most "successful" soldier to the country, and the only wan in the army who Ims janped m menT We adadt that the ten's humor Is delicate and elttffve, b«t reaBy It to not hard te detect it when you are oune used to its method. Alxdteh West Ptdnt? We Imafftoe that the Sun to the last pap«r to the United BtstCee that would favor such a thing. Bat seriohsly what la the use W malntaintag it if army doctors, with little or ao experience to the art of war, are to be msbed te the top ef the army list over the heads of hundreds of men worthier of promotion than het The Bun's point Is well ■ndi. Tet we assure our Charleston contomporary that tbe Military Academy Is ta BO danger. As f«r the Ke«n and Couriw, If It Is really Afistreasod. It dhesM take a aoatm In Amarlean humor.

AMBSICAS CirnSNSBIP. There to much said about the necessity of strengthening our hnmigratlon laws so as to prevent the coming to thto country of people who are not fit for American dtisenshlp, and much of what to said to true. But comparatively little attention to given to the question of naturalisation. Tet It is quite possible, even if we admit undesirable Immlgrante, to deny dttoenBhip to them, and thus to cure some of the harm. But thto to Just what our politicians are unwllUng to do. In their eagerness to get vo^ they will extend tho privllegM of American dtisenshlp to any man. And during every campaign thousands Of men are rushed through the process of naturalisation simply tbat they may rote at the election. Therefore, It is encouraging to read what Judge Gregory. of Albany, had to say on the subject yesterday, when he rejected sixty applications for naturalisation iMipers. He expressed himself thus: I will not naituraUxe any person who comss before me and Is unable to speak tbe English language sufficiently to make himself understood. I will compel them to answer questions regarding thdr age, place of nativity, when they arrived in the United States aad any other questions which I deem eseential to good dtisenship; and if they fail to make eatisfaotory answer I will refuse to grant them the necessary papers. When a man has been in thto country five years and to unable to talk our language, in my ojAaion he to not fit to be admittto to dtixenshta* and I will

act accordingly,

Whether one agrees that the ability to speak English Is sufficient to qualify a man for dtiaenship, or that the inability to do so is of itself enough to dlsquslify him, there can be no doubt as to the g«ieral eorreotnees of Judge Gregory's position. It Is the business of the naturalising oflioer to exercise great care, to mak» a thorough inquiry la each case, and to establifh some standard or test to which the appUeant riiould pe competed to copfonn. We fefuM to allow a ngh to antcr tbe Oovehiment service without demonstrating his fitness. No business man will hire a clerk unlesa tpe ^pUcant for the positien Is ahls to ppove bis qualifications for It. Tet In this vastly mOrs impoftant matter of cftlxanshlp we require, in many if not most eases, no proof at all of lltBsan Praoticaliy, ws natnrallEB aay man who has rsstdsd long enough In the country and State and who wants, or thinks he wants, te beeotns 4 citixen. Here to a great chance for reform, aad Judge Gregory points the way. Surely tt to not too much to ask that a man who •seks to be admitted to American dtlsenshlp should at leeat si>eak the language of Americans. <l>ther things should be required, but that should be essential — oertafnly it tbe man has lived in the country five years and so lias had time to leara Bngltah. But the main thing 1# that we Bfaetod bi moeh mors careful In this matlM than we have hitherto been It to not enough that a man wants to vote, or that some party boM wants him to vote. He ought to be compelled to show that he has intelllgenee and clwracter enough toi vote intelllgeBtly. We have oheiqtoiied American eftixenahlp by the laxity of our naturalisation methods. It to time that Ne were doing something to make H more prised. One of the surest ways to accomplish that result to to make admission to dtisenshlp dif-

latlon that U contains. The«e are. ef couree, a few paxxagex in which there

to an apparent overatrenaeue effort to drive home the argument, and to draw paralleto which do not really oxtot. But In the main the effect produced by reading the book is that, after the revelation had been folly delivered, the men who received it and traamnitted it to ox had not the shadow of a dmiht as te itx ahMlute verity. For instance, in the eptotle appfUnted to be read for the Feast off the Transfiguration, which wag latf. Thursday, St. Peter, feeling that he was shortly to die, wrote to Christiana every-

whma:

Moreover, I will endeavor that y«a may be able after my decease to have these things always In remembrance. For 'we have not loilowed cunningly devised faeles, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Cnirtot,' but were eyowltnesses of Hto

majesty.

"We have not followed cunningly devtosd fables." What a cunningly devlxed table It must have been^ indeed, te have held sway for almost two thousand years over the whole clviUxsd •world, aad to te to-day the master inllumaco In (dvlllsatlon! The trouble to that people that beUeve In Ctatotlaalty, or profsss to do so, do not have tho spirit of ths aposttoa. They seem to bs In something Uks terror a good deal of the time lost ths baMs at tbelr faith should te cut from undwr them. Thors are Christians who, If they should road such a book as "Babel and Blbls." would feet that tho whole stmeturs of their faith was about to tumble about thelr’sors. Tot tho apostles telisvsd before a line of the New Testament had been 'written, and they trusted, not in a book, but to a Ufa To te sure. we. in tiuMO days, have to accept the Christian revelation on the tettimony of others who wore "eyewitnesses." And to that extent we are dependent on a book—on the Bible. Tet if we would but look at things aright we should see ba<dc of and above that book a great, divine and taspiring life with which we may yet oome to contact through the ehuroh, the saorameuts. and our own personal experlenca The wise num beUevea the Christian revslatlon. not because it to to the Bltoa but he heUeves the ^ble because it contains that revelation which somehow comes close home to him. If Christianity to true. It to so beoanse It meets a de^ human need and responda to something to the nature of man. It is such facts aa these that it must rest on. So It does not matter what men may learn—and the more they learn the better —by digging to the rulnx of Babylon, for the fundamental fact will xtUl stand. One thing to certain, and that to that nothing can stand to tbs fact ot facts. If we are forced to modify our views of ths Bltfla to change our theorlee of Inspiration, and to admit that Ck>d, in ths old days, as now, vras the Father, not slraply of one peopla but of all mankind, we may rqgret tbe necessity of making a new adjustment, and te r^uctant to abandon old theories—but the facts, if they te facts, must prevsU.^ Therefore, it to more important than ever te place religious faith on the right basis, and to recognise the truth that tt does not center in a book, but to a life. The testimony of Chriattoa--Ity to itself to the strouguet testimony. The testimony of Christ to HtmsMf was sufflclmit tor St. Peter. The world was not oonquerod 'by "eunnlngly devtood tables," but by the Truth, and it te this Truth that regenerated ci'vlltoation and rsnewed tiM taco at the earth. And so td-day, the humble and trusting telfevor, "being dellvarOd from the disquietude of tlfis world, may te permitted te beh<fld the King to Hto bequty." One of the defects of modem Protestknttom Is' that It argues toe much—trusts too much to logic. It to a noble defect, yet It should not blind men to the fact that tbe victory to promised to a patient and submissive faith. "Thto to the victory that overcometh the 'World, even our faith."

The new life of Wtlltom HaslUt, by Mr. Blrren, glvM a most interesting picture of one of the moot interesting figures to English literature A MffW and fl PossIMy^^those whe *'““Utor with UuSC* the Ufa and work of BasUtt wUl get Uttle new Information from thto new story of hto life, but It may te that eren the beotInfCMined wUl te helped by looking at certain matters from a slightly different point of 'View. During the life of Haslitt he was much rldloutod for hto worship el Napoleou, and It was. looked at ta one •way, excessive and absurd. But It should have been understood tbat what the man worshiped was not so much a man as an idea —the idea of liberty and equality. And this Mr. Blrrell makes ctoar. It was no mean thing that Haslitt worshiped, he tells us; and so tt could not have been Napoleon, who 'was. In many respects, mean. The mistake of the Englishman was to identifying tbe Emperor too cloeely with a sacred cause and In assuntiM that every one who attacked tbe man alfb meant to attack the cause. 'SHiat Haslitt saw, and what svery one stoe sees, was the rising of a great mao power without the help of anythtag hto own aldllties and the circomstaxutos which be was great enough to tain to hto own account. He ruled by merit, while all tbe others ruled by so-ealle^ divine rlidit Be made hto own empbr^ while the others inherited their emptrea And hto 'victories were the victoriee ^ brain and merit over privttoge and caste. So Haslitt, who was a fierce repubUcan. rejoiced at the Napoleonio vletortea and was staggered by Waterloo. Napoleon was to him tbe personification and embodiment of a great political^ Idea. And be did, to spite of hto trmmatm to it, serve that idea, often in spito of himself. His ortfiD, the principles at tba revolution. the war waged on him by the l^timtots, and hto aaeoolatlons
