THE New York Sun In replying to a
letter of an "English Journalist" in
which he expresses his sorrow and as
constituent at finding that the people Of
the United States do not love England,
says "But we assure this English
newspaper man that he is all wrong In
his sentimental diagnosis. There Ia no
jealousy OF England here, for there Ia
nothing to produce 1t, rs there might be

each oontending for supremacy or supe-
rior consideration. We do not fear, and
have no reason to fear, the aggrandlze-
ment of England, which Is separated
from US by wide ocean, and whose
continued prosperity Is an advantage
rather than an injury to us. Yet II can
not be denied that there is very little
warm affection for England In the
United States, and 1t would be snrprls-
ing II II were otherwise. England and
Englishmen are not generally loved by
other peoples, and Americans have es-
pecal reasons for refusing to take John
Bull to their hearts. Passing by the
war OF the Revolution and the war Of
1912, we remember that when we were
in terrible trouble between 1861 and 1865
England turned the cold shoulder on us,
openly expressed exultation because she
expected to see us go to pieces, and hur-
ried to threaten war at a moment when
we were too much occupied at home to
resist such foreign attack. 1t may be
true that the Lancashire workmen were
friendly, but the average English senti-
ment was against us. and Individual En-
glshmen did not hesitate to declare
their hostile feelings even In the hearing
of Americans who were so unfortunate
as to be in England at that time. Since
we have proved our strength, Of course,
England has been more civil, but In the
days when we needed friendship she
seized the opportunity to try to bully us.
Therefore we can hardly be expected to
shed tears when we see England bullled
by Russia, and compelled to make hui
initiating concessions. John Bull has
been very bold against the weak, the
savage and the half-civilized, but now
when an equal is to be met, he draws
back and throws up the sponge even
before the fight has been begun. Nor
can England be rightly called tine
mother country of Americans, for a
great part of them are not Of English
ancestry, and millions OF them have in
their ypina the hot Irish blood which

The question, rs Galveston doing
business at the old stand ?" will be one
of considerable import in the next year.
II events turn out az they now promise.
The contemplated early work on the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass railroad will
enable the management to finish 1t by
the end OF the present year with any
thing like business push and energy.
The terminus at Arkansas Pass would
make that point very prominent claim
ant before the River and Harbor BIZ
committee, and an appropriation ofgood
proportions would not be very difficult
task to secure towards deep water i'm
proyements, in conjunction with the
fact that the government work hereto
fore done at the pass, has proved fair
success. Galveston has, in the last few
years, monopoliZed all honors for deep
water improvements on the Texas gulf
coast by reason Of her schemes and her
lobby, but 1t has been because there was
no concert Of action In the interest OF any
other point, either on the part Of the
Congressman or the outside delegations
This will all be changed at the coming
Congress. Arkansas Pass will not only be o
claimant for an appropriation, but II
will have the merit that the work al,
ready done by the government engineers
has been satisfactory, and that dseI
water can be easily and speedily OBJ
tanned. San Antonio is destined to be
the city of the Great Southwest, and hel
trade and influence In the near futur,
will truly cause Galveston TO ask herself

last year desire a return to three cents,
If not to four. There have been some
conferences on the subject. The World
has advanced lts price to out-of-town

the World for more than two cents. 1t
has also increased the price Of its adver-
Using, which had been taken at merely
nominal rates. The IIerald's evening
edition, the Telegram, has been nd
vanoed from one cent to two. Privately,
publishers and editors agree that the re-
duction of the price of the eight-page
papers to two cents is n failure, and all
are waiting for pretext, like n rise In

price to three or four.
