The jubilee of Queen VICTORIA has af-
forded Englishmen occasion for the greatest
lingo demonstration in all English history; but
the M~ugwumps and tho other pusillanimous
sorts hereabouts who object to jingoism exclude
the English variety from their animadversion
English jingoism is all right In their eyes, only
the jingoism which expresses American pride
and manliness meets with their disfavor. Ex-
cept for hat American jingoism. the jubilee at
London yesterday would have been moro jubi-
liant still. The national American spirit that
CRATES so harshly on emasculated Mugwumpory
as intolerable jIngoism deprived England Of the
opportunity Of celebrating British dominion ex-
tending over the American continent In the
days when that jingolSm impelled the Ameri.
can colonies to cast of English domination.
Mugwumps were called Tories, and the lingo
ism to which the breed then opposed their cow
ardice and treachery was known as patriotism.

AMemorialt to DIR. Samuel Fisk Green

Recent newspapers bring to US from the
island Of Ceylon accounts Of an interesting
event In that part Of the world, namely,
the opening Of q hospital Just completed on
the island of Caradive to the memory Of
DR.. SAMUEL FISK GREEN, o brother OF tho
Hon. ANDREW Ii. GREEN of New York
We quote from tho JaGna Star:
"This Institution at caradiye was formally opened
on the 18th inst, and tho exercises on the occasion
proved TO DO quite noteworthy. The day selected was
Q public holiday. being the Tamil Tai Pongal. or feast
Of the inst fruits. A noat and spacious pandal had
been erected In front OF the building and well fur
nished with settees, Between three and four hun.
dred gathered. including some nfty from out
side Of Caradive, who were honored with
seats on the veranda- There was also quito Q
company Of Tamil ladies. Soon after $3.50 p. n. Sir
WILLIAM TwrNAM, K. c. N. O., arrived and. taking the
chair. the exercises were opened BY the singing OF .
lyric, and tho reading OF Scripture by the Rev. Q. n.
SANDERS, the Caradive pastor.
AFTER this came 4 historical sketch Of the under
taking by Mr.. L. vIsuvASATHEn- through whose efforts
chiefly the hospital has been erected.
"He was q medical student under Dr.. GREEN as
Manippay, and in his experience In the Island had be-
como impressed with the Importance OF introducing
the practice OF Western medicine on . moro permanent
basis than his own treatment.
"sir WILLIAM. who was always q warm friend and
enthusiastic ndmiror OF DR.. GREEN, and who has ever
taken great interest In providing proper medical fec
ulties for the people Of the northern province, spoke
ut length Of DR.. GREEN "a q physician. q Q man. and -
q friend. told how much no personally owed to him.
and related incidents showing his widespread IN
huence. and especially his genial yet earnest Christian
character. This tribute 10 bis friend was an uncon-
scious revelation OF tho character Of the speaker
which could not but impress all who heard It,"
Addresses followed by the Rev. T. 6.
SMITH. DIR. MILLS, DIR. PAUL of the Friend
in Need Society's Hospital, and T. c. CHEN
GARAPILLAI, Esq, Proctor Of the Supreme
Court.
The building is on the main road, near
the centre of the island, and q little moro
than a quarter Of q mile from the church.
One of the speakers expressed tho hope
that its usefulness may rapidly increase,
and that 1t may be q centre Of healing, both
bodily and spiritual, to the more than 8 200
inhabitants of the island Of Caradive."
During his nearly twenty years residence
in Ceylon DIR. GREEN prepared and pub.
lished a series of deliberately illustrated
works now the standard medical literature
in the Tamil language. In addition to
this great labor he was the superintendent
Of the Friend In Need Society's Hospital,
in which were annually treated some eight
thousand patients, and also Of the training
of a class Of natives in the medical art,
many of whom found employment in the
Government service.

Lion ana Populist.

Some time ago Governor LEEDY Of Kansas
appointed a committee to confer with COM
mittees Of Texas and Oklahoma for the pur-
pose Of seeing what could be done to reduce
freight rates. The Kansas committee has
Just made Its report, after q pleasant free
excursion to Texas.
The report asserts that the rates from Kan
sas to the Gulf of Mexico are too high, and
suggests that the Governor or the Railroad
Commission plead with the railroad to put
down rates before the tall shippingof grain
to the South. II the pleading fails, as 1t
will fail, on account Of the obduracy OF The
railroad corporations, q special session OF
the Legislature may be called for the pur-
pose Of passing the Maximum Freight bill,
which failed at the regular session. These
suggestions, however, are felt to be tame
and bloodless. A the committee says,
"the people are standing with their hand
in the lions mouth, and II he sees at to
crush them, they can only submit"
So long as they depend on softening tho
hearts Of traffic managers or even upon the
good offices Of the Legislature, the hand
will remain In the lions mouth. II they
are to save the hand, they must do 1t them
selves. Here reappears a great Kansas
idea, clear to the whole school Of advanced
Kansas Populists, and to Governor LEEDY
the very apple Of his eye. Build o State
and Interstate railroad from Kansas to
Galveston. The committee says that such o
road can be built from the northern boun-
Diary line Of Kansas to Galveston for
$s, 900, 900. "Some way must be devised
to bring the railroads under control or the
people must take the bull by the horns and
help themselves" 1t is to be wished that
they may not help themselves to railroads
which belong to other folks. The best
thing they can do Is to build q railroad Of
their own and bond 1t with non-interest-
bearing bonds. Then they can abolish
rates, freight and passenger, for all Popu-
list consignors and travellers, smash the
other railroads, and enjoy themselves gen.
orally. A genuine Populist railroad, run
for and by Populists, would be an educa-
tion to everybody and n warning to pluto.
Gratis and monopolists. who would not be
allowed to ride on it at any price; and a
committee Of the Legislature in q buffet
car could accompany every train.
Monopoly will lave cold feet when It
sees the first spike Of the Kansas State
| railroad driven.

plans were approved" Gen. BUTTER
FIELD was quite on all fours with the
Botanical Society. His standing as q
citizen Ii unexceptionable. He was AMI
mated by public spirit when he offered his
statue. He spent his own money for 1t.
He could have pleaded the elevation Of his
motives, and his care In selecting the
sculptor. bringing the latter's certificate
that the statue was goTd In its art. But tho
Park Board referred Gen. B~UTTEREIELD's
proposition to its regular professional adj
wiser, the National Sculpture Society. The
latter reported that the statue was artisti-
cally inferior, unsuited to the site pro-
posed, and that no monument was desirable
for that site anyway. Now, suppose that
Gen. BuTTERFrELD had besought the Park
Board with the Twelfth Regiment, had Wis
tied the Mayor and had persuaded him, In
his ignorance of the merits of the case, to
express his wishes to his appolntees, the
Park Commissioners, and at last had in
duced them to break down for his benefit
the precedents that protect the public In
terest In the parks, and, on their own un.
