RACE HATRED IN EUROPE.
Neighbors Whose Dislike for Each Other II
Constantly Manifested.


Constantly Manifested.
From the London 5pectator.l
We know Of few circumstances in modern
Europe more disheartening than the depth Of
the distaste felt by its different races for one
another. Their growth in civilization, which
certainly goes on, though it is very slow, seems
only to deepen their dislike, which, again, Is
increased by their propinquity. These Ger
mans and Czechs Of Bohemia cannot tolerate
each other. though they are not only inter-
mixed but know that. whatever happens, they
must remain intermix ed to the end Of time
The Spaniards and Portuguese are lodged side
by side IN the same peninsula, under circum-
stances which would make fusion enormously
advantageous to both. Spain gaining her nat
ural capital and trading river, and Portugal
gaining the force to keep and to utilize her
colonies Yet the keenest observers report
that fusion is impossible, because Spsniards
despise Portuguese and Portuguese at once
dread and detest spaniards. The Germans and
sIavs in the east Of Europe can hardly be COM
PEELED to keep the peace, while the German
loathing for q Dane is as intense, and, We may
add, as unintelliglble, rs the loathing Of
Dutchman for the Germans. The Italians and
the French, though their frontiers touch, de-
spise each other heartily, and when, as in Mar
seilles, they are forced into industrial compe-
tition, they can hardly keep from blows.
The SlaTs and the Greeks living in the same
Turkish provinces, though they have the bond
Of common servitude, confess to a repulsion
they cannot conquer; and the Poles and the
Germans Of Prussia, subjects Of the same
crown and invested with the same rights, re-
gard one another age after age, with the same
angry suspicion. II the distaste were dying
away, we might say, as so many say about Ire
land. that it was produced by historic causes
only; but we see no evidence that 1t Is dying
away. On the contrary, 1t appears to deepen
as the superintendent pressure becomes less,
until, In Q free and enlightened city like Ber-
lin, there is positive danger lest, IL authority
were paralyxed for few days, the educated"
German population would spring at the throats
Of all Hebrews, and bid all Poles depart. And
all this while the difference between the races
is often less than the difference between fami-
lies or individuals Of the same race, and is man
Tested in action mainly as difference in tenn
permanent and ideals.

The reported book trust, founded on the
alleged ruinous prices for republicatiOns Of
standard authors, is not worth troubling our
selves about The best evidence that such
books can be turned out in large quantities at
the present prices is that the publishers are all

books at less than cost, and they are not likely
to carry on the business for the sake Of spread

MoKEEsPoRT, February s-The committee
Of McKeesport gentlemen, friends Of Captain
W. E. Thompson, who were in Washington,

delegation was received by the Postmaster
General at o'clock yesterday afternoon. He
listened to the statements of the delegation,
and was much pleased to learn Of the feeling
that had been evidenced in favor of Captain
Thompson since the latter's nomination has
gone before the Senate. He was non-com-
mital, however, and the result Of the conference
Is entirely presumptive
Those who are best acquainted with the facts
predict that the additional Endorsements and
evidence brought by the delegation yesterday
will result in Captain Thompson's confirmation
within the next week.

IT is stated by the Philadelphia Press
that the clause OF the proposed new House
rules permitting legislative riders upon sppro-
priAtion bills, was stricken out by the Repub-
lican caucus. It is to be hoped that this as
sertion is correct, although the press reports
have not made it clear. The Republican party
cannot afford to shoulder the discredit of Civ
ing such lever to jobbery. The motive for re-
porting such clause from the COMMITTEES is, to
use the mildest term, very questionable.

The Coming Common Read.

CLEARER-MNDED men will take hint from
the tracks for wheels seen on every hand
and will come to the logical conclusion that
the coming common road will be q combine
tion road--a sort Of compromise between earth
and iron. the former yielding to the hoof, the
latter unyielding to the load.
It is the continuous cutting action Of the
wheel that makes the channel that invites the
water, that softens the rut, that renders each
successive cutting more and more vicious.
Every hoof-tread is tramp and its nature Is
to pack and solidifY il attention be paid to
securing common-sense conditions. No re-
uuirement of any kind, either mechanical or
from the standpoint of comparative anatomy,
demands that the horse should travel on stone,
his movement are entirely dissimilar to those
involved in the rotary motion of q wheel as 1t
passes over any surface, and 1t requires but
small amount of logical mental effort to see
this. Once the wheels are attended to- once
provided with a smooth and absolutely unyield-
ing surface, the solution OF the entire problem
comes in sight.
Now. without going into any wearisome de-
tail lei us conceive Of two lines of plank laid
down end TO end, where wheels usually track.
Then let us further conceive Of laying q suit
able iron bar on these lines of plank. This bar
IA to be as wide as the plank-say SIX or eight
inehes-fat on the side to the plank and
sIjrhtIy concave on the upper surface. That
is II NAV be one-fourth of an inch at the CEN
ter Increasing to one-halt TO the edges. The
ends of the bars put together, as near as may
be. midway between the ends of the planks,
thus securing lateral stiffness. The problem Of
how to hold these lines to their places is q re-
markablY simple one and meets with no DIM
cultv whatever. Now, when the track is thus
nroyfded even with, or little below, the gen.
eral outside surface drive onto It with your
conveyance and whether loaded or light. with
yonr team on surface that Is necessary
