Matthew Arnold on America.
"REMINISCENCES OF HIS TOUR-COM-
MENTS AND CRITICISMS.
Boston Herald.

Mr.. Matthew ArnOld's observations
upon American life and society are very
interesting Il met many most charm
ing people in Chicago" said he, land
have friends there to whom l am. deep
ly attached. 1t is true | did not care
for Chicago; it is too new and, as we
would say in England, too beastly pros
porous l would not go to see the pig
sticking at the stock yards. Certainly
not. Why should l wish to see pig
sticking? Still, as have said, nowhere
did | meet more charming people than
in Chicago. | liked Milwaukee and st.
Louis better as cities. But | prefer
Philadelphia to any American city.
Chestnut street is like Bond street.
Philadelphia is so respectable. There
are cases, certainly, of Quaker rigidity,
but at the same time great refinement.
l everywhere met with kindness and al
fectionateneSs, and came home feeling
that the Americans are indeed warm
hearted people. Yes, | must say that
they are an affectiOnate people. L met
more social refinement than | had eX-
pected. Still, all l had written of so
ciety in America holds true. The
Americans are a commercial people,
with the intellectual limitations of such.
Business abSOrbs the time and powers OF
the men as it does not in Europe; con-
sequently there is in America no class
of gentlemen, as in England, although
everywhere there are individuals equal
to any gentlemen in the world. And
the ladies are more charming. | have
never met such takingness. The young
ladies are most engaging. While many
of the gentleman have tile tone of feel
ing and the speech of English gentle
men, the ladies are much more engag-
ing than English ladies-are better in
formed and more capable in CONVERSE
ton. 1t is this takingneSS or engaging
ness in American ladies that really
quite fascinated me. The young ladies
are well posted and converse so pleas
ingly."
Like all foreigners visiting America,
Mr.. Arnold was shocked at the preva-
lence of irreYerence and the absence OF
respect for the venerable and worthy.
''In this" he said, Lies the prophecy
of decay. 1t grows out of the Tepubli-
can form of government, which is, how
ever, the only possible form of govern
ment for all peoples. But no civiliza-
ton can endure without reverence.
There should be an acknowledgment
of its lack by Americans. a spirit Of
reverence should be institled into the
minds of the younger generation as
they grow up. The children are not
familiar with the symbols of authority
as in England, and SO are in danger of
losing the reality"
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1884-05-01
A Burning Shame.
New York Sun.


At a dinner of naval veterans in this
CITY on Thursday evening, Gen. Stewart
L. Woodford made a speech. The
General always whOOpS up the boys.
He said that it was a burning shame
that this great nation did not have its
flag fying on every sea, on war ships
and merchant vessels alike. There
must be something wrong about Gov
eminent that suffers its navy to sink
into such insignificance.
Why did not Gen. WOodford tell his
hearers who was responsible for this
burning shame, as he calls it?
Ever since the war ended the navy
has been under the control of the Re
publican party-the grand old party
Every Secretary of the Navy during
that period has been a Republican, and
one of them is Republican
whose name is Infamous through
out the length and breadth of the land.
They have made the American navy
what it is.
The shame and wrong that Gen.
Woodford talks about are the shame
and wrong of the party to which he be-
longs.
