Another consideration that was doubtless

advantage from It. The Chicago publishers.

700 In pictures for a single issue Of their
Sunday edition, finally awakened TO the
fact that they were paying for free pic

substantial co npensation. Competition in

most attractive and necessarily the most
expensive free chromos to be given 10 pur-

to confess not only the financial failure OF
the scheme but the degradation OF jour-

The only journalism that can stand the
test of time Is that which maintains its
own dignity by aiming TO present the most
attractive, entertaining, instructive and
healthy newspaper TO the reading public.
Those who read a newspaper because IL de-

more intelligent class of newspaper readers
logically assume that the public journals
which descend TO such clap-trap devices to
obtain readers, sacrifice the merits OF jour-

value upon legitimate newspapers and who
will cease TO be purchasers whenever the
chrome feature Is abandoned. Journalism
is the highest known profession in our free

The new year brings to Philadelphia the
elimination OF a gigantic enterprise-the
Bourse There is nothing like It in the
United States. There Is no similar enter
prise so complete in the older cities of the
old world. Philadelphia is unique in provid-
ing under one roof room for the various
business exchanges. and at the time
maintaining a permanent exhibition of the
city's manufacturing products. 1t is posi-
bic for a purchaser 10 go to the Bourse and
transact there his business without being
under the necessity of visiting mills and
widely separated offices. There he can tele-
graph and ship. There he do every
thing that modern business man needs TO
do The splendid building has been erected
after many difficulties. There were numer-
Gus obstacles to contend with and over
come. but they have been successfully met
all of them. and the new enterprise stands
completed, n monument to Philadelphia
business sagacity and enterprise. Now that
we have the grandest temple to business
that this country has ever seen. why should
not capitalists turn their attention TO the
erection of the grandest public hall that
America knows? We need something after

AMERICAN DISLIKE OF ENGLAND.
Some of the Reasons Which Suggest
Themselves tn a BritOn.

LONDON saturday REVIEW.
Time was when Englishmen held an indif-
ferent or even contemptuous attitude tow
ard Americans; but this feeling has long
been displaced by a just appreciation, and
nowadays no one is SO certain OF a cordial
American And because Englishmen are
actuated by these kindly feelings toward
Americans, they imagine that Americans
have the same feeling toward them. This
misconception, as we fear it is, arises from
a want of imagination, from a certain in
sularity characteristic of the Briton. There
can be no doubt that the ordinary American
feels a certain indifference or even con-
tempt for Englishmen in general. and that
masses of Americans are conscious of an
antipathy to Englishmen more pronounced
than they feel in regard to any other peo-
pie.
This dislike seems natural enough. If We
consider things from the American point
of view. The only history that the American
boy learns is the history of the war of in
dependence and of the war of 1s12-14-a long
record. as he reads 1T, of British arrogance
and insult, and, finally, of British defeat
and humiliation. AS an English boy reads
of Trafalgar and Waterloo, and thinks of
the French, SO an American boy reads of
Lexington and Bunker Hill, and Is never
tired of recalling the fact that veterans who
had served under Wellington were beaten
by a third OF their number of raw Amer
can levies at New Orleans If we English
are inclined to underrate or think too little
of New Orleans or Majuba Hill, 1t is easy
to understand how Americans and Beers
are inclined to overrate these triumphs.
which furnish forth the chief pages of
their respective histories.
And more recent events have not only
tended to confirm and extend this American
dislike of Englishmen. The majority OF
Americans cannot but remember that after
abolishing slavery in her own dominions
and taking no little credit TO herself for
having been the first among nations to do
so. England did ell she could. without de-
claring war; to Illustrate the attempt of
Americans to get rid of that blot upon their
civilization.
The lineal descendants Of. the old Puri-
tans the nonconformists and dissenters of
all Sorts are those in England who most
love and respect America. while. curiously
enough, II Is the same extreme Puritans
who. in the United States. cherish the most
hostile feelings toward us. The bitterest
ANTAGONIST of Great Britain in America is
the New Englander, who is so to speak,
brought up on the records of the war of
independence. and who. as a Puritan. justi-
ies his animosity to ENGLAND by dwelling
upon the fact that the English first insti-
tuted slavery in America. and when the
Americans engaged in a civil war TO put
an end to ii. England sided with the slave
owners.
