How They Regard Outsiders Who Criticiss
Their Country.

How They Regard Outsiders VINO Crltlciso
Their Country.
A Partisan who during the few years
Of his residence in New York has OBJ
served American sensitiveness to any
criticism from foreigners says that this
reminds him of a difference between
Frenchmen and Americans
when an Englishman or German
or any other foreigner" he remarked,
who has been in France writes book
finding fault with Frenchmen, or their
manners, or their cookery, or their do
mestio habits, OF their fashions, or their
architecture, or their ways of life, we
do not take offense at the book, but we
ridicule and laugh at the author Of 1t
There are bonmots about the poor au-
thor in the journals, there are carica-
lures We sneer in good fun at his ig-
norance of France and our customs. We
have pleasant times over him, and he
puts all Paris in an agreeable humor.
II he be q person of consequence, we
dramatize him in a comedy which will
make tho habitues of a cafe chantant
happy for an hour.
Let a German get obfuscated over
French cookery; we speak Of the horrible
things that are eaten in Germany. Let
an Englishman do it; we advise him to
devour his raw ros BIZ Of the cannibals
They do not like French esprit. That is
because they are very stupid. They do
not admire Paris. We remind them Of
such gross places as Hamburg or Man
chester. We do not get angry at them,
but mock them in the spirit Of gayety.
Thus they are mortified. We French
men know that everything in France is
the best in the world and do not care
for the ignorant words of incompetent
barbarians. France is sufficient for her
self, and the soul of France is Paris,
which all the world tries to initiate, at
which we are amused.
But the Americans, unlike the
French, are very sensitive as to the
things said about them by the foreigners
who scribble books. This is evidence Of
their immaturity, their lack Of self re-
spect, their consciousness that they can
be successfully assailed, their appre-
tensions that they must have weak
nesses which are visible to strangers or
their knowledge that the Boosting in
which they sometimes indulge is mere
bombast.
1T is two generations since Mrs.
Trollope ridiculed the Americans in her
jolly book, yet when uttered her name
one day to Puritan of Boston he got
enraged at her memory. This is foolish
ness in the Americans, who have fine
country, satisfactory population, man
ners that are not intolerable and some
curious French cookery perpetrated by
Germans. The Americans must attain
to the equilibrium of mind which char
acterizes the Frenchmen. They must
take no more heed than Frenchmen
take of what the foreigners think Of
them. They must laugh at every word
uttered by their foreign critics Above
all, they must refrain from reading the
piquant books of their assailants. The
French would not read foreign book
which deprecated France Yet Ameri-
cans are always ready to buy English
books which slur their country and peo-
pie. New York Sun.

ties was reported to-day from Adams

Lee Mckinney says last night five
men. one of them named Cain, of Min
tonville, engaged in q game OF poker
i'm a little 1ZX12 room at the distillery.
A dispute over the game arose and the
shooting began. Cain alone escaped,
and is accredited with Staying all the
dead. Most of the slain were shot
either through the head or heart. Cain,
it is reported, is evading arrest though
the officers are hot on his trail.
The five dead men lie side by side
in the meal room of the distillery,
awaiting Identification and the order
of friends.
The Commercial Gazette having wired
its Lexington, KY, correspondent for a
verifcation of the poker game murder
at Mckinney, received the following re-
ply, dated Lexington, Ky;
"W. r. GOoch wires me from McKin-
ney that Lee Mckinney came direct

Further than this Mr. Croker refused
to talk upon political subjects, except to
say in answer to question that he did
