No Caste in this Country.

A recent writer in the North Ameri-
can Reuiew attempted to establish the
truth of the assertion that caste is
growing in the United States. The
Christian Work pronounces this alb
surd. The Repiew writer says that
Oliver Wendall Holmes was made
much OF in England, but was not re-
ceived in the best Boston society.
That proves nothing, for it is not true.
What the writer meant was that he
was not received in the Boston so.
ciety. Neither would be Gladstone,
the greatest Englishman alive.
Society" is simply grown people
playing with dolls. 1t does not de-
termine things except those of a pure.
ly fashionable nature. In this the
women define the social status of those
who seek the entry into Society"
There are sets and cliques in every
community, and each of these thinks
itself "the best people" 1t is a harm
less amusement, but it does not show
that caste is being established here or
that any mans merit or demerit is es-
tablished by these fashionable decis-
ions.
As the Christian Work observes, an
exclusive coterie may look down upon
the rest in this country, but the rest
need not and do not look up, and this
makes the great difference between
the United States and Europe. There
long centuries of titles and so-called
nobility have made people really think
there is something in society,"" have
established caste. Here the people,
with very few exceptions, regard $50
ciety" with indifference or amusement
or mild regard, and without envy,
heart-burning or uncharitableness.
"In the case of DIR. Holmes" says
Christian Work, eve know he en-
joyed the intimate friendship of such
men as Longfellow, Lowell, Agassiz,
Everett and others; what did he or
his care if someone in the Back Bay
district in Boston did not extend an
invitation to a tear 1t was simply a
case where non-intercourse was mu-
tual."
That is the whole case. Some PEG.
pie find their interest in life centered
in social functions. It is we'll. That
hurts no one. These persons have the
right to select their company SO far as
they can, and it is wise for them to dc
SO. Other persons care nothing for
society of the lighter sort and desire
something graver and more substan'
tial. The two do not conflict. Both
may be respectable. Judgment or
that ground must be delivered in each
individual case. Neither can ostra
else the other. There is no caste.

many who have regular charges
are impatient to make a change

prominently before the admiring
gaze of the world. He speaks OF
the worldly side of the ministry
and the causes that forbid men of

death of Engineer James Brennan of
Bloomington, ILL.,. who was killed in Il
smashup on the Chicago and Alton Tues
day night, and the injuring of Fireman
Brown in the same disaster, as well as
the destruction of ten cars, involving loss
of $4,000. The wreck took place near
Mazonia, on the Coal City division of the

line and within five miles of Gardner sta
ton. The train was south bound and was
running at high speed in n hilly country
when it encountered IL tic and II rail laid
across the track.
The engine was overturned and slid
down an embankment, followed by ten
loaded cars, several of which piled up on
the engine. Engineer Brennan was caught
under the locomotive and frightfully
crushed and scaldcd. Fireman Brown
jumped, but his injuries are not consid-

In the afternoon, after IL conference of
some of the leading shippers to the lakes,
another statement was given out by OPP
orator J. G. Dysart. 1t contained the in
formation that another committee had
been appointed to continue the work of
getting the mines in operation, which had
been started last week in Cleveland. AS
the statement issued in the forenoon said
that all committees had been discharged,
the conflict of statements caused some in
quiry as to what the operators really
meant. Inquiry failed to bring any re-
suit except the impression that they are
trying to find "whcre they are at."
AT the forenoon meeting some of the
anti-lake shippers proposed that the op.
orators pay the 69-cent rate pending ar.
bitration. This was opposed by the repre-.
sentatives Of the big companies, who have
been running the meetings. The meet
ing adjourned without either side coming

was rejected. Then additional PROPOSE
tons were made. One was to stact the
mines without fixing any price for thirty
days and then to pay the rate agreed upon
by the board of arbitration. This was
also refused by the miners. They said
they had been fooled too often to trust the
operators again. They declined to work
for a month, giving the operators the out
put that length Of time, without knowing
what wages would be paid.
A proposition was made to operate the
mines for ten days without fixing the
price, allowing n board Of arbitration to
fix the price for that time. President
Ratchford insisted that nothing but the
@-cent rate could possibly be accepted.
The operators were firm, but the miners
were equally determined. and every argu-
ment of the mine owners was met by the
miners leaders. Neither side would CON
cede another point, and it was decided to
end the conference.

Borda of Uruguay was not altogether IL
surprise to officials in Washington who
have watched the recent outbreaks in
Uruguay. This was the second attempt
on the presidents life, the former being
made April 81 last by u crazy student
named Revecca.
The last issue of the Montcvideo Times,
received in Washington, states that the
president remained away from the state
house in evident fear of his life. AT the
time g junta of those seeking to overthrow
the government had established active
operations ut the capitol. The %assassina-
ton of the president doubtless will bring
the country to a revolutionary crisis,
which has been long impending. The rev
olution thus far had been confined to the
country districts, where several extensive
engagements had been fought, the Gov
eminent forces securing the advantage.
There is no Uruguayan representative in
Washington.
At the time of Senior Borda's election
he belonged to the official party, and was
elected by u narrow majority. The peo-
pie, it was said, were sadly disappointed
ut the result, but order and quiet was
maintained. The leading papers Of Uru-
quay dcplored the election of Senior Borda
and declared that it marked a reaction in
