WHY AMERICA DiSLlkES ENG
LAND.

New York sun IN E"giSh news
paper published in New york city by
a renegade freshman (Godkin) has UNI
dertakcn to discuss the underlying
causes Of that dislike or hatred Of
Great Britain which IL one Of the
marked features Of American sent1-
mcnt. If the Evening Posts Contribu-
ton adds little to the discussion Of an
interesting subject 1t Is because the
point Of view is the American AS a
ule the people Of this country know
cry well why they do not love Eng
l. nd. There are general reasons for
dislike, depending upon personal and
national traits Of character, upon the
habits and practices of the British
government and British individuals in
their relations with the rest Of the
world, and these affect American Opin-
ion neither more nor less than they
affect the opinions Of Frenchmen, Ger
mans, Russians, Italians, BeIgians, and
other civilized peoples. But beyond
these, which we share with the most of
mankind, the memory OF the American
people has charged up against England
particular acts and injuries of which
Il few are here stated. Specifications:
I The oppression and injustice 50
forcibly described in n document signed
by John Hancock and others and COM
monty known as the declaration of in
dependence. Those little matters were
rectliled 1t Is true, but not by the
voluntary act of Great Britain and
historical reasons are not the weakest
reasons for hatred. Tarleton and the
IIessIans have not quite been forgotten.
9. The attempt to destroy American
commerce In 1906, and thereafter, by
the impressment of American seamen
and the lnsolent assertion by England
Of the right Of search.
3. The invasion of the United states
in 1874 and the wanton destruction by
British military inccndiarles of our
capitol the presidents house, and other
public buildings in Washington.
4. The continuing insolcncc and inn
pudcncc of the attitude of Englishmen
toward Americans and all things
American, from the time OF the war OF
1912 down to the epoch of our own
civil war.
j. The eager hope Of the British ma
ton in 1861 and thereafter for the
downfall of this union, as manifested
In ways too numerous to mention.
G. The Alabama, and the destructive
blow aimed, in our time of trouble, by
England at America, her principal
rival for the carrying trade of the
world
T. The mcrconary attempts to grab
parts Of the earih's surface contiguous
to American territory or important to
American interests. The northeastern
boundary question, the northwestern
boundary, the Alaska boundary, the
Nicaragua question, the fishery dispute,
the fur seal poachlng.

his left lung with such force that for
several weeks he fingered between

face and breast, and tor this she was
once again placed in durance vile. No
one was present when the episode oc-

MaXmillion went to prison for life

The Indians kept their vows
On FRIDAY OF the week before last
Joe Poche's body was found in a little
ciump of willows beside the babbling
waters CT Russian river. He had been
stabbed in score of places about the

showed the hatred of his assailaut, for
any one Of them would have produced
death. He had been dead for several
days when found
The mystery surrounding his taking
off was not a deep one. There was
the vow of Martinez hanging over his
head. She had been seen with him
the preceding Tuesday night, and he
had been drinking. When he lay
down in Il drunken stupor, Martinez
had, no doubt, taken her bowie and
put him to sleep forever. She had
fulfilled her threat.
And today this buXom squaw lies in
the little Jail here, charged with the
murder of Joe Poche. Never word
says she, and although the Indians
carry her fruits and berries, and her
relatives hover about the iron doors
which separate them from their idol,
not word passes their lips They
know all about the murder, but they
want their Martinez to be free once
more to chase the fleeing deer and sig

a BOX AT THE DOOR.
Hereafter in Some Places People Need
Not Mail Letters at Lamp Posts.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Postmaster-
General Wilson has issued a general
order providing that in all cities and
towns having free delivery postal SER
vice the postal system be extended to
include house-to-nouse collection. For
the convenience OF the department,
however, the introduction OF boxes in
the houses, until further orders, would
be confined to the following rs places
Portland Me-; ST. Adams, VT; Bos-
ton, Buffalo and Syracuse, n. Y; East
Orange, n. j.; Springfield Mass. Allie

st. Louis; st. Paul; San Francisco;
Springfield, H.; Tacoma, Wash; Tole7
do Nicksuurg, Miss.
This action taken is, the result of
practical tests made in st. Louis and
Washington. These were regarded as
satisfactory, and probably the time
saved to carriers no longer compelled
to wait answers TO bells may be utilized
in further extending the boundaries
of routes in rapidly growing communl-
ties. Housenolders OF these cities Will
be required, for their own convenience
and at their own expense, to supply
suitable box of kind already APP
proved by the department.

1t is curiously significant of the
great weight of the incumbrance of
royalty borne by European countries
that the death of Prince Henry OF Bat
tenberg on board British war vessel
will hardly create a ruiile III the dip
lomatic or political affairs OF England.
High as was his nominal rank, Prince
Henry, according to the DEGREES of no
bility was of Il position inferior to
that Of his wife. Upon his marriage
with her in 1885 he was accorded the
nominal rank of royal highness,' but
his wife, Princess Beatrice Mary Vic
toria Fedora, the ninth daughter Of
the queen, actually stood much higher,
being accounted as fifteenth in the line
OF direct succession to the throne. He
was, of course, below any OF the sixty
one living direct descendants of Queen
Victoria, but his sphere of usefulness,
SO far as activity in public life was
concerned, was probably as large as
that Of most of these. He was 81
years old and leaves widow and four
children. Fever caused his death.
