THE BRITISH TORY.
The Kind of Englishman Who Hates
America and the Americans.

The Kind of Englishman Who Hates
America and the Americans.
There is among certain classes q super
cilious and insular spirit of patronizing
criticism. We have the old fashioned high
Tory, who hates America and everything
and every body In 1t. There are 90 few of
him that he may DO regarded as an anus
ing political and social survival. But he
has influenced his class and 1t Is chiefly
in aristooratic conservative quarters that
the spirit have mentioned is found At
tho other end of the social scale is the type
Of bigoted, untraveled Englishman who,
on the top Of many solid virtues, possesses,
and somewhat blatantly expresses, the
views which offend all our neighbors so
much. Furthermore, 1t Is not only the IN
Travelled Englishman who Is frequently a
severe critic OF things transatlantic. Tho
man who goes to the United States to
do 1t in tho shortest possible time
and sees the outside of New York and
Chicago, the inside of few hotels, who
has no American acquaintances except
those casually made on the steamer or the
train, who perceives American independ-
ence of manner without having time to
trace 1t to American self respect who
misses the finger at the hat brim and the
SIR at the end of @ sentence, who never
forgets tho spittoon and knows nothing of
Harvard, Harper's Berry, the farewell
address or the Gettysburg, grafton mostly
returns to this country to DO fresh ex-
ample of Emerson's pregnant saying that
when an Englishman speaks of America
he forgets his philosophy of history and
remembers his disparaging anecdotes.
But, alike throughout the educated
classes and the mass of public opinion,
there Is in Great Britain genuine admi-
ration and affection for the people OF our
own speech under another flag, and GER
tainly If my life were staked on my ability
to arouse enthusiastic applause at public
meetings throughout tho country, would
choose for my theme the desirability OF
tho "glad hand" between John Bull and
Brother .Ionathan.-Henry Norman of the

the plate 1t was raped out for 8 safe
hit. Nine Mountaineers crossed the
plate in the hitting melee which gave

for the visitors, except in the. seventh
inning he let down and was touched

the locals, by making opporiune hits.
scored two runs, which left the ccore 10
