AN ENGLIsHMAN ON ENGLISH MAN
NERS.

In late number of the Nineteenth
| Century the Earl of Meath discusses
the question: Are Manners Disap-
pearing from Great Britain?" Discus
sions of such questions by Englishmen
are not common. He has some pretty
severe things to say of English So
ciety. He declares it is only within re-
cent years that it has become reason
| able TO ask whether the English NAV
not be within measurable distance of
the time when all outward forms of
polite demeanor between man and
man shall have completely disappear
ed from British soil. He thinks this
no extravagant superstition, and makes
out very good case. He says, and
truthfully we think, that each gener-
alton as it comes upon the stage of
life is a little less polite in its bearing
towards its fellows than the genera
ton which preceded it.
Speaking OF the unpopu1arity which
Britains enjoy amongst most of the
nations of the earth, he says:
1T fiatters our national pride to
favor with which we are regarded is
due TO jealousy caused by the excep-
tional prosperity, advantages, and
privileges which we enjoy, and in
certain measure this is the real cause
OF our unpopularity; but ask the aver
age intelligent foreigner why England
is dislked in his country and whether
the question be put to the Russian.
the German, or the Frenchman, in a
large number of cases the answer will
show that his dislike of Great Britain
is not based on political reasons, nor
caused by jealousy, but is simply the
result of personal experience of the rude
and over-bearing manner of Individual
Englishmen with whom the foreigner
has been painfully brought in con-
tact"
There is vast amount of truth in
that, and anyone who has ever tray-
eled on the continent, where the cars
bring one into such close contact with
his fellow passengers, and been thrown
much with English travellers. knows
from experience that this is SO. But
as the Earl of Meath says, when one
does meet a true British gentleman

A COMPARISON.


Everybody knows that comparisons
are odious, which fact is no doubt a
chief incentive for making them. But
we purpose to place in comparison the
utterances of two men, eminent in two
great churches, on the question of free
silver. These two men are Bishop John
P Newman, of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, and Ri. Rev William
Reardon, private secretary to Cardinal
Gibbons.
Bishop Newman says:
In the conferences committed to my
charge there are something over 1000
ministers. l shall call their attention
to what L believe is the plain duty of
the clergy, and shall urge upon them
the Importance of using all the influ-
ence they possess. in the pulpit and
out, against the danger which threat
ems our country, against the possible
triumph of Bryan and Sewall and the
election Of a congress that is pledged
to pass a free silver coinage measure
A correspondent addressed a letter
to Cardinal Gibbons asking an express
sion of opinion on the duty of citizens
on the silver question. Cardinal Glib
bons, through his secretary, made re-
ply as follows:
Baltimore, July 80.
My Dear Sir-His eminence directs
me to say in reply to your letter of the
Both inst. that on account Of the diver
sity Of opinion held on the subject of
the currency by eXperts-men who have
made it a life study-he would not ven
ture to express an opinion. Yours very
truly.
(Signed)
WILLIAM A. REARDON.
No one but will say this reply is a
much more fitting treatment of the
subject than the remarks of Bishop
Newman. If one portion of a political
platform Of any party is fitting topic
for treatment in he pulpit then all
portions are. If one minister has the
right to treat the silver question from
one point Of view, another minister has
the right to treat it from another
1t is better for religion, it is better
for politics. that the discussion of the
latter be not carried into the house of
the former. 1t does not elevate politics,
but has a strong tendency to tear down
religion. The people of the country
recognize this. and will not tolerate in
reference by their ministers with DO
litical matters.

on hearsay. He said that the ella SIS of
people who were thus aiding the Re
publican candidate were men of means,
who had made large investments in
America. They were more interested in
our approaching election than if it
We're coming off in Great Britain, and
the pros and cons of the silver question
were debated with as much heat in the
British metropolis as in New York
That is positive, unequivocal state
ment and is entitled to weight. 1t
would not be at all unlikely if English
investors in America were making con-
tributions to secure the election of Nc
kinley. He represents the English gold
standard and is pledged to it's main
tenance. 1t is to England that this
country is most heavily in debt, and
naturally those who hold these debts
want to make certain of their payment
in dollar that is today worth much
more than when the debts were con-
tracted, and which is constantly ap-
preciating. They can we'll afford to
make very handsome contributions to
secure this end.
We cannot say whether this story is
true or not; it remains for the Repub-
lican national committee to disavow it,
1t serves to show how intimate is the
relation between British ideas and Re
publican ideas in the great issue that
IS today agitating the people of the
United States. If the story be true,
then it makes it ten times more neces-
sary that Mckinley be defeated. Can
any American citizen for one single
moment contemplate the idea of pres
ident of the United States being elected
by the aid of British gold without his

ture, than your true British gentle
man.
There is a remedy for all this, which
is pointed out. He says if British
boys and girls were taught to subor-
dinate self, to respect their neighbors,
and in non-essentials not to run coun-
ter to their prejudices, this lack of
manners would soon be remedied. It is
likely that it would.

The class is large, but does not include
the entire British people by any

feeling of self-sufficiency. Our Eng
fish cousins have 1t to a considerable
extent, while as nation we are not
entirely lacking it.
