Americans shrink from tie subject and arc ir-
ritable and thin-slIinned when it is canvassed.
What an amazing people we are We seem
not to have liked being told, even by Mr.. Arnold
in his Olympian way, that we are a nation Of
gnoble braggarts, living as ne now says, in fools
paradise. Worse STILL perhaps, we have, by con-
tnuing our sef-deception, shut against ourselves
the door TO improvement We know something
it appears, about politics and society. In what
concerns the solving of the political and social
problem we see clear and think straight. In
what concerns the highest civilization we are
blind and stupid. Is that credible account
l do not say of America but of any people who
ever existed? l end as / began. This elaborate
lampoon on America comes from too high a
quarter to be neglected or TO be met with rd-
cule only. Sir Lepe Griffin nothing, his book
nothing No American cared for his calumnies
Where they were noticed they were laughed at
Sir Lepel attained to his highest importance when
he became the peg on which mightier indictment
than his was hung.
Mr. Arnold-we cannot too completely con-
cede il to him-is among the first if not actually
the first, of all living English men of letters His
paper appears in the leading Review of the day
1t is by far the most damaging as
it is the most acrimonious Of all recent attacks
on America. If supposed that any great multi
tude of English were going to read and believe
this sldlful scandal, l should think it almost
international calamity 1t will at any rate de
light every Englishman who dislilles America In
vain does Mr.. Arnold appeal TO his lifelong de-
traction of his own countrymen. lie repeats,
suppose by way of sweetening the dose to US that
the English upper class is materalized, the middle
class vugarzed, and the lower class brutalzcd
When he chooses to say such things, he is an
Engshman reviling Englishmen. They may
settle tho matter between them. But he pre-
sents himself as an Engshman traducing Ameri-
cans before the English public an Englishman
doing what he can to ALLEVIATE two kindred nations.
If he wished only to read a lesson, why does he
bring forth his long-warehoused animosities in an
English instead Of an American periodical? For
my part, l never read anything which thought
more deplorable Mr. Arnold well knows how deep
my admiration and friendship for him, often cX-
pressed in America, have ever been. For that
very l am bound to say the more plainly
what think Of this peevish and splenetc criti-
cism. u. w. D.

given by the Governor for the pardons. This shows
how useless it Is for the courts to convict the

The changed condition OF society brought
about by the patched up peace of Zanjou
made possible a club where men of either
and neither party might meet without cease
loss promptings to the rancor of political
feeling or national pride The Union club
thus had its origin. 1t is wealthy, aristo.
cratic, exclusive, and its membership and
privileges are confined wholly to men. So
far as am informed, this is the single in
stance in Cuba where women are thus denied.
Neither politics nor religion are discussed by
its members; only such games of cards az
are permitted by law are allowed; the most
eminent of Cubans in the professions an.
mercantile life, as well as the highest
Spanish officials, here meet daily in mock
friendship; the consul generals of France,
Great Britain, Germany and the United
States are members; and it is absolutely the
only spot among men in all Cuba which NAV
