Mr., GEO ICE PeABQ0f.

The following are the remarks made by Mr.. George
Peabody at White Sulphur Springs, the 2sth ut..
In reply 10 Mr. Segar, of Virginia. who presented to
him the resolutions Of southerners at the Springs
thanking him for his unprecedented and muniacent
donation to the cause OF education in the South.
Mr. Peabody spoke as foIows:-
beg to thank you most kindly for the kindly scu-
timents you have expressed towards me. They
have affected me deeply, anu such, followed
az they are BY the resolutions you have presented,
that Il Is impossible for me to reply to them as I
would. can only answer briefly, and feel that even
then must claim your indulgence can but say.
as regards the kind and fattering remarks Of your
chairman, that trust the remainder Of the time
have to live may not do otherwise than Justify
your good opinion. / should be glad II my
strength would permit me to speak or my own
cordial esteem or regard for the high honor ineg-
rty and herOism OF the Southern people. But that,
too l must leave for the present But must not
omit to say that OF all the kind words you have
spOken those referring to the Southern Educational
Fund nave been the sweetest to my ears. Coming
as they do from such distinguished and Intelligent
body they corrOborate the opinions already ex
pressed by other eminent men Of the South. The
feelings or my heart are interviewer with Its sue
cess as am sure are yours and those OF alLgood
men everywhere. The enterprise Is stl very young.
only three years old; but It Is growing with every
year and the superintendent OF the trusteese
cmnent agent, and under the guidance of the dis
tinguished gentlemen OF the trust ana win the
warm cooperation experienced throughout tho
SOUTH 1t cannot but prove success, ana am con-
fdent Will auxiliary IN restoring the south
TO a state OF higher prosperity and happiness than

man 10 found church according to any pat
tern that his own foolish fancy may devise.
For all the higher purposes Of the religious
life Professionalism. devoid Of unity of charac-
ter and unity Of parpose, has been largely
found wanting This want Of concentration OF
aim goes far to explain Why Professionalism,
although IL has never shown any strong de-
sire to go back to Rome. has not in three hun
dred years made any very effective encroach-
ments on the domains Of its great rival If We
exclude the New World from our calculations
the landmarks Of the Protestant and the Catho-
lie territories remain very much what they were
in the days Of Luther.
II, however, we must admit thai. when
judged from high ecciesiasticAi standpoint
Professionalism has been found wanting. we
cannot on the other hand deny that its his
tory has been singulariy allied with the mate
rial success and prosperity OF the last three
hundred years. Professionalism rather than
all the great agents OF modern civilization.
Protestant rather than Catholic countries
stand in the front rank Of the nations
Wherever all over the world intelligence is
highest, industry most marked, wealth most
abundant, there Protestantism rather than
Catholicism has beon At work. II has been
said by great historian and philosopher,
now no more, that when in Ireland yon pass
from Catholic to Protestant county, In
Switzerland from Catholic TO Protestant
canton, or in Germany from Catholic to q
Protestant State, you feel that you are passing
from a lower to higher civilization. 1t
is possible that there is some little exsggera-
ton in the statement, but 1t il undcniable that
it contains large amount OF truth. Pro-
testantism has unquestionably, whatever its
drawbacks, contributed largely to the emanci-
patton OF the human mind from bondage and
to this emancipation the scientific discoveries
and material advancement Of this age are
mainly due. If Catholicism has done much
to preserve alive the religious principle in
man, Professionalism has done much to hurry
man forward to higher development and q
higher usefulness. The fact is patent to all
the world that Professionalism is now little less
characteristic inside the Catholic Church
than out Of it. So long as Protestant coun-
tries are so far ahead, and so long as
Catholic countries are revealing such a dis
position to follow, it cannot in fairness be
said that in any high and true sense Pro-
testantism has been failure.

The general amnesty for all political
offenders, which 1t is said the Emperor will
issue on the 18th of August may be refused, az
similar proffers have been, by Victor Hugo
and few other linen Of 1913" exiled leaders
of the party of ''rreconcilables. But 1t is
none the less likely to prove'a successful bid
for popularity, and it is perfectly consistent
with the Emperor's long since avowed inten-
ton of Browning the edifce' which he has
reared with the copestone Of liberty. All
intelligent persons can appreciate the wit of
NJ. Theirs latest mot, that eff liberty had at
length been brought to bed it was by q
Casarian operation But Nine. la Comtesse
d'Agoult Daniel Stern) has rightly said that
''the people" are impervious to the ridicule
which may be poured upon their idols, and
despite the satire to which the Emperor Of the
French, after his dictatorship Of nearly
twenty years, may be exposed on account Of
his arbitrary Inauguration Of liberal reforms,
the French people at large will probably
accept these reforms with unquestioning graft
tude. If the promises Of the Emperor shall bs
honestly fulfilled his dynasty will acquire
fresh lease of life.

We are glad TO see that the English Ministry
intends bringing in bill on this subject next
session. It will probably be something similar TO
the treaty so lately approved Of by Congress
between this country and the North German
Parliament. 1t is . pleasure to see England
compelled to keep pace with the spirit Of the
times, for her policy ON this subject has always
been illiberal and tyrannical. In fact, one Of
the acts of tyranny charged upon George iii.
in the Declaration of Independence was that he
had endeavored to prevent the population OF
the States, by obstructing the laws for the
naturalization of foreigners. On the whole
subject of naturalization her laws are one and
all conceived in the spirit Of the Middle
Ages. ''Once citizen always . citizen

principle, il acted upon, would dena'

CHEAP OCEAN POSTAGE. Another step in
the direction of progress is meditated by the
British government in the revision of the
rates of ocean postage between Great Britain
and America. Cheap and reliable means Of
communication are among the first necessities
required by commerce, which is the most i'm
portant element between the two nations; and
in addition to reduction in the rates of postage
il is to be hoped that the success of the new
submarine cable will also tend TO some modif-
cation in the charges now made for the trans
mission of messages. The cheap rates o.
postage charged by the British government
between the mother country and the various
colonies, especially Australia, have sufficiently
oroyed tie beneficial effect Of the reduction.

THO New Vera Herald and tho Associated
Pres.

Press.
Elsewhere we give, from Wakes Spirit Of
the Times, forcible and truthful statement Of
the present attitude of the New York journals
in their relations with that creature Of theirs
that has become half master-the Asso-
ciated Press. How great an embarrassment
that institution is to newspaper enterprise,
how 1t prevents and cuts short much Of the
energy Of journalists by depriving them Of
the legitimate fruits of that energy, declaring
beforehand that they shalt have no pre-emi-
nent success and that whatever news they
gather ia virtue of peculiar skill, experience,
foresight, boidness and iiberaiity, must be
and all the effects of it no article or series Of
articles can ever make sufficiently plain to
the public. The writer before US illustrates
the position by reference to our reports from
Abyssinia. We spent large sums Of money
10 send correspondent to that country, and
our contemporaries could yet have, equally
with ourselves, all the news that he
sent rs by telegraph, and thus before
the world could stand on the same level with
M. And what did il cost themp About one
dollar TO our hundred, they having to pay only
proportionste share Of the charge for send
ing the matter over the wires, nothing for the
reporters salary, expenses, outfit, DC. And
this happens every day; HERALD reporters,
in fact, do the bulk Of the news gathering that
is done for the press hereabouts, the other
papers living chesply on our enterprise. An
instance Ia before the public now. When the
Great Eastern was expected at 81. Pierre we
despatched q reporter thither to await her
arrival aud chronicle that event, with what
ever else of interest might take place in rels-
ton TO the grand enterprise OF the new cable.
No other PAPER did this for when the de-
spatch came all members Of the association had
the legal right to share il with US and did 80,
evidently depending upon us to furnish them
with the account.

European Governments Reducing Their Ex-
l'enses.

penSeS.
The little kingdom of Greece--perplexed as
many larger nations are, with national debts,
increasing expenditures, and having only
small incomes to meet their wants-has wisely
considered the expediency of reducing her
expenses before national bankruptcy begins TO
make itself evident. The days are fast pass
ing away when peoples will submit uncOmplaiu-
ngly to enormous taxation without inquiry.
Standing armies in times of profound peace are
not regarded in modern times with that favor
which characterized their existence in days Of
yore. Useless, expensive embassies at foreign
courts, are also matters which are now being
considered in wise spirit. Greece in this
respect has taken step in advance which
civilized world
Not alone are these ideas of reform confined
to the Hellenic government, but even the
powerful empire Of Austria has also been at
work considering the question of a reduction
of her expenses and although the desire to do
away with embassies at minor courts has not
been carried into effect as yet, the fact of its
being under discussion by the Reichsrath is
sufficient to show that at later day the mea-
sure may be successfully put in force.
Spain might take good lesson from the
action of Austria and Greece, and inaugurate
similar systems of financial reform by the re-
duction of her embassies at the courts OF
kindred Powers. Even if this was only
o5ooto1 au n ta,,norarv ,paoanra n would no
benefit to the country. The Spanish Am-
bassador at Paris receives more than the
President of the United States, not to speak OF
what it costs to keep the embassy in that style
which the pride of Spain desires her repre-
sentatives abroad should assume.
Now that the Initiative has been taken
there is no good reason why all Of the second
and third rate Powers Of Europe should not
do something practical in these respects.
National debts are not national blessings the
opinion Of q profound fnancier to the con-
trary Notwithstanding and the sooner they are
removed the better. America has set an
example which cannot fail to stimulate inquiry
among the civilized peoples or their represen-
tatives throughout the globe. II is hardly
possible to realize the fact, and yet it is so,
that the American republic is diminishing her
national debt at the rate Of about ten mil
lions Of dollars a month, and this by govern
ment founded, conducted and watched oveI
by the people, without the aid even Of stand
ing army. These facts are well worthy the
consideration of European statesmen. We
have now entered upon an age in which thu
old forms and effete customs Of bygone year.
must crumble before the march Of moder'
progress. Governments, as well ~ individuals
must be unemberrassed and ready to push OF
with the great movements Of the age. How
can they doso, encountered as they ares Man,
Of the countries Of Europe will And II Difficult
enough TO make both ends meet, without in
duIging in the expensive luxuries Of foreig
embassies and standing armies. Greece hs
done wisely and well. What country will mex
follow her lead?

in the Seine or at the seaside. Mention
is duly made, however, of the mauve robe
and spider-like drapery of the Empress at the
