down; and, consequently, is always
getting its adherents into trouble. The
press recognizes that a great republic of
readers demands its daily smile in its
morning paper, and naturally regards as
gr;st all that comes to that mill. If Mr..
Ghooly Khan had staid long enough to
study this national popularity, and
had witnessed the wholesaleness
with which the greatest grandees
of this country-civil, literary. and po-
htical-go into its hopper and are ground
into "quips, cranks, and wanton wiles"
to minister to the universal humor-
craving, the Interpretation might have
tempered his verdict into one of intel
ligent sympathy, and he would have
tarried longer. AS it is, he is gone,
bearing away rancor in his breast, and
may return with reinforcements, to
claim blood for the appeasement of his
injured amour prOpre. In the mean
time, cannot something be done to check
the ravages of the national smilef
Culture, so efficacious in other channels,

THE ORIENTAL VERDICT.

According to Minister Ghooly Khan's
farewell address, his chief grievance
against the United States is the treat
ment of his master, the Shah, by the
American press. He came hither with
his ears filed with tales of the hospital
ity and courtesy that Western civiliza-
+ssA would extend to him as represent
alive of the Shah; and, on arrival,
found that all his time would be occupied
in collecting newspaper clippings hu-
mOrOusly commemorative of his Oriental
ruler. This was certainly gigantic
contract, and no justifiable surprise can
be entertained that the Persian repre-
sentative should flee the task, and also
the country wherein such things are pos
sible. On leaving be characterized these
press comments on his master as insults,
and departed with the final fling that he
is no barbarian, and came To this country
expecting to learn something. Every
candid critic of the American press must
admit that the Persian minister's CEN
sures are founded in fact. If for
eigner came upon an American lecture
platform, and was greeted with smiles of
amusement or boots of derisi0n at his
manner of garb, ne would be justified in
Indignantly leaving the stage, and public
opinion would support him in denounc-
ing the ill-breeding of the audience.
This should be equally true of similar
situation on larger scale, but unfortu-
nately it is not. The national sense of
humor is lively ghost that will not
