THE AMERICAN JUBILEE DAY.

Those who have read the accounts of
Queen Victoria's jubilee have missed its
most striking feature if they have failed to
note the expression of steadfast, passionate
and universal loyalty of the English people
for England. All the outward displays of
power the pageantry of professions and
decorations, the unsurpassed show of naval
ascendency, other nations can equal in
time; but that display of patriotic pride
was a revelation of the secret of British
power and domination over IN almost
worldwide empire Wherever an English
man was on the Tuesday of that great
display there was a man glorying in the
existence of the British nation. Whether
Tory or Liberal, the Englishman is always
a firm believer in the superiority of his
own country, and, above all, of his blood.
70 this strong, aggressive confidence of the
English people in their country and its in
situations England owes its position among
the nations. The British government has
extended its power over the world because
the English people have absolute faith in
the superiority and the masterfulness of
the Englishman. Since the English people
became united England has been power
because of the intense loyalty of the Eng
lish people. Against outsiders all English
men are as one man. To this fact is due
that confidence, masterfulness and feeling
of superiority which often makes the Eng
lshman so Objectionable to others Pride
of country. pride in English achievements
and unconquerable faith in the superiority
of Englishmen have made the England of
to-day. The Englishman is disliked every
where simply because he is always an as
sertive, self-satisfied person who loses no
occasion to exploit the superiority of him
self and his race. England has no sincere
friend among the nations to-day yet with
its bullying. its frequent exhibitions of bru-
tality and disregard for the rights of all
except Englishmen, it is respected because
of its power to do things
1t is not the purpose of the present arti-
Gle to extol the English nation and its
achievements, bat simply to call attention
to the passionate and vehement loyalty of
all Englishmen which stands for patriotism
is the most appropriate season to consi6tr

pie we need the emotional patriotism which
filed Great Britain during the jubilee days.

For several centuries there has been a
jealous feeling on the part of those who
could not against those who could ride in
carriages. Glass distinctions have been
marked by the carriage in bygone days.
He keeps his carriage" has often been
one of the arrangements of the wealthy by
those who must go afCot. Keeping a car
riage in the city has always been the most
conspicuous outward notification of wealth
and ease In the country, years ago, the
chaise or the covered buggy was the luxury
of the few who had moderate wealth. AS
the country has grown in wealth the road
wagon and the carriage have become more
common, particularly since skill and ma
chinery have made them cheaper. Still, it
is yet a fact that class of poorer people
are more envious of the well-to-do who ride
in carriages for so doing than for any other
cause. This is because they pass them in
the highway, often stirring up the dust
which chokes the pedestrian. The act has
something of defiance in it for the weary
traveller.
In these latter days there has come a
great leveler-the bicycle. AT first only the
quite well-to-do could own one, but now
the person who earns any surt of wages
and most can-rides a wheel if he or she
wishes. Indeed, the whee-rider has much
the best of it, since the employee is easily
able on a wheel, to pass the employer, who
may be going to the same place of business
in the morning or on returning at night.
The man of the carriage may be compelled

or the modern lunch basket. They may be

those which bear the trademark of the
most famous builders. To ALL but to none
so much as those who toll, does the bicycle
bring a sense of freedom and all the de-
light which freedom possesses. Even now
there are those who recognize the leveling
influence of the bicycle. Cannot you make
a distinctive machine which will cost Sl50?"
was the inquiry of a dealer in a large
Southern city. Some of our patrons would
like machine so high-priced that colored
people cannot purchase them This is a
protest against the leveling influence of the
wheel. 1t will not avail. The rich and the
poor must ride the wheel by using the same
sets of muscles and sitting in the same kind
of seat. He that has the better muscle
and skill will be the better rider. The price
of the wheel does not count for much.
