sALISBURY'S SPEECH.

| The address of Lord Salisbury at the al.
| nual meeting of the Primrose League at
Albert Hall, in London, must have
forcibly recalled to the large audience
which asse m bled in that vast building the
loss which England sustained by the
death of Benjamin Disraeli, in honor of
whose memory the Primrose League was
formed. No man can say what manner
OF speech Dsraeli would have made at
such crisis in the affairs of England and
of Europe as the war in the Levant has
raised, but every man can be certain 1t
would have been widely different in tone
and sentiment from that of the noble
| Lord who has succeeded him in office
without filling his place in the service of
| his country.
Disraeli always had definite policy for
England and was always able to express
it in language which, while it excited to
hercer heat the opposition of his foes,
never failed to carry hope and courage to
his friends. A speech from him on such
| an occasion as this would have reused all
England and had a potent influence
throughout Europe. Salisbury's address,
however, was hardly more than such as
by man who was talking of something
of which he knew little and on which he
has not made up his mind one way or
another.
To world waiting to know what is to
be done for the solution of the dangerous
problem in the Levant, Lord Salisbury
could offer nothing but the vaguest ex-
pressions of nope that all would go we'll
There has BEEN" he said, great fear
that any outbreak in the southeast of
Europe might lead to general blaze, but
1t is hoped the danger is past, and that we
may look calmly on the larger interests
involved" He had no reason to furnish
as a basis on which this hope is to rest,
and could only say the proofs of strength
given by the Turkish Government may
1t may be the empire will collapse.
This was all which the Prime Minister
of England had to say to the people wait
ing with eager expectancy to know what
part England is to play in the mighty
drama now going on in the Levant. 1t
was the speech of a temporzer, a time
server, and a waiter on events rather than
of a leader of a great people and of a
statesman having a policy which he re-
garded as best for the interests of the en-
pire, and which he was resolved to carry
out in the face of any and all obstacles
II was not necessary for Lord Salisbury
to tell Us the Ottoman empire may i'm
prove or that it may collapse. That much
was very we'll known before. What was
expected from man in Salisburys posi-
ton was q definite statement of what
England will do to maintain justice in the
Levant, and enforce reforms upon the
Sultan. Truly the Primrose League has
ample reason to commemorate Benjamin
Disraeli and to mourn his death.

GETTING THE FAUTS.

The Examiner of yesterday made an &C.
acknowledgement of the superiority OF our
news service over its own with such frank
ness, candor and com pleteness as to merit
recognition. On the previous day both
The CALL and the Examiner contained
reports OF the Huntington banquet, but
they differed widely in every respect, and
the Examiner of yesterday, feeling called
upon 10 deliver editorial comment upon
the affair. found itself in position where
it had TO decide whether its own account
or that in THE CALL was the true one.
The editorial writer's attested the ex-
ceIlence of their judgment by ignoring
the Examiner news report as a worthless
fake and basing the whole OF their criti-
cism upon the account given by The CALL.
1t is scarcely necessary for US TO say the
editorial department of the Examiner acted
wisely in accepting the report of The CALL
as being correct 1t is not often, however,
that even wisdom leads newspaper to so
openly acknowledge and confess the
worthlessness of its news service and the
utter unrelia billty of everything which 1t
reports as fact. 1t is the rarity of such
open confessions on the part of sensa-
tional jour naIs that gives importance 10
this action of our contem porary and leads
US to accord it more than ordinary recog-
milton.
We trust nobody will regard this notice
of the acknowledgment of the superiority
of our news service as vain boas;ing on
our part or as having in it any suggestion
of sarca7m. 1t is meant only as kindly
Acknowledgements of the candor of the man.
ayers of the Examiner in admitting that
when they desire to know the truth they
read The CALL. Their own clever writers
are not sent out to gather news, but are
allowed to sit at their desks and write out
sin meditation fancy free" dispatches
from the Emperor of China, interviews
with a Chinese dignitary, locating him in
San Francisco when he happens to be in
Havana, and giving accounts OF such
local events as the Huntington banquet
without learning the facts.
To people who read newspapers, not for
Idle amusement, but for the purpose OF
knowing what is going on in the world,
the moral of this confession on the part of
the Examiner is too plain 10 require
stating. Those who wish TO learn the
facts and to acquire an accurate knowl-
edge of current events must read The
CALL. The editors of the Examiner are
aware Of this and never venture 10 COM
ment, criticize or pronounce judgment on
anything going on either at home or
abroad until they have first thrown their
own fake paper in the wastebasket and
read THE CALL, in order 10 acquaint them
selves with the truth.

THE DUCHESS D'ALENCON.

1t is one of the consultations of humanity
that whenever a great disaster falls upon
any considerable number of men and
women, there is always displayed by
some among the number of the victims q
heroism of soul which attests the gran
deur OF mankind even amid the greatest
trials, ana proves the saying of General
Robert E. Lee, Human virtue can al
ways be equal to human calamity"
In the dread disaster which befell the
gay and fashionable throng at the charity
bazaar in Paris. this evidence OF nobility
of soul and true grandeur of sentiment
was shown by the Duchess d. Alencon.
When the flames broke forth and the shouts
of 'fire"were heard, one of the ladies stand
ing near the Duchess turned to her with
the cry: Let US 60. Madame. Come
Immediately The Duchess, however,
did not move, but answered the appeal
with the calmness OF grande dame, "Let
the visitors go first" II was a simple
saying, but under the appalling circum-
stances it was sublime
II is evident the Duchess was one
of those rare women whom We like to i'm.
agine as the type of genuine aristocracy.
A true grande dame who understood to
the fullest extent tho meaning of the
phrase "Noblesse oblige." and who lived
up TO 1t, her courtesy was not a mere
matter of conventional manners. 1t was
an outcome of the instincts of noble a.
ture, finely bred and finely accomp ished
1t was an aspiration of the soul as well as
the practice of habit, and bespoke a
woman who in every respect was we'll
worthy to wear coronet and to rank
among the aristocracy of great nation.
LET the visitors 60 first" These words,
uttered amid a panic-stricken crowd in a
building wrapped in flames and scarcely
heard among the shrieks of despair, de-
serve to be remem bered among those
immortal phrases which bear to men and
women from generation to generation the
evidences of the truth Of the saying of the
Psalmist: For thou hast made him a
little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honor" The
glory is that man has been created with a
soul superior to every possible disaster
that may befall him, and the honor is that
even his mortal body has the courage to
show forth the nature of his soul and act
in accordance with its high requirements.
The horror OF the great calamity at
Paris will sooner or later pass away, but
it is not likely that the world will ever
forget the heroism of this woman who
stood aside 10 let the visitors 20 first from
the flaming building. The world has now
another heroine to rank among those
whom it honors; and wherever and when
ever the tale of this story shall be told
there will not fail TO be words of praise
and honor to the true grande dame, the
noble woman, the Duchess d'Alencon.
