A HU INITIATING DESCENT.

The employment of ex-senator John
Examiner is perhaps the most nota-
BILE instance in the history of American
institutions of a disgraceful descent
from high official position to a mental
service. An ex-senator retains the
honor associated with his past position
as long as he maintains the dignity
Of the position with which his name is
associated. 1t would be perceived at
once that reporting a prize fight for a
sensational newspaper or a sporting
journal would be inconsistent with the
dignity of a United States Senator. An
ex-senator owes something at least to
the association of his name with high
and honorable office. In America we
are bound to give a high Interpretation
20 official station. To do otherwise
would be to declare that dignities cam
not be conferred by a free suffrage.
This would give hereditary honor the
entire field. II the title of United
and honor to any patent of nobility
that can be conferred, then the choice
Of free people can confer no honor.
When one has been thus elevated above
his fellows, he owes it even to the past
elevation to maintain at least the SEM
blance Of intellectual and moral respec-
liability. The whole country will feel
that ex-senator ingalls, has cast at
least the shadow of a disgrace upon
the position of United States Senator.
The lover Of free institutions will feel
that the ex-senator is quite insensible
20 the respect he owes TO the honor
and dignity of free institutions by ac-
cepting the lowest office within the
gift Of sensational journalism.
The Examiner" among journals is
not more respectable than the New
York Police Gazette" Vicious jour
nalism does not become virtuous by the
frequency of its publication or the ex-
tent Of its circulation. Nor viii the
prize ring lose any Of its rev citing feat
ures Of brutality. nor acquire any addi-
tional responsibility. because an ex-
United States Senator countenances it
to the extent of reproducing the exhi-
bition in the columns of the press.
We have heretofore entertained some
respect for the kind of ability possessed
by ex-senator ingalls,. He perhaps will
retain that ability. but he will GER
tainly deserve TO lose the respect OF
the people of the United States.

Her Luggage.

woman who spends her summers
abroad says that this last year she
took with her only two satchels by way
of luggage, says the Detroit Free

She carried in these another gown. an

extra waist, and found that she almost
always stayed long enough in any one

buy anything required nearly as cheap

BLACKIE ON MODERN GREECE AND
TIE GREEKS-ERRORS DISPOSED

An essay on Modern Greece by the
published in the Forum" is intensely
interesting at this time when so much
OF public thought IS directed toward
that only existing bridge between the
past and the present of European his
tory that Professor BIackie described
when he wrote in 1894
Greece has not received the attention
that it deserves in our busy thoughts
for several reasons. first we have, gem
orally speaking, imperfect knowledge
of it, for it is not so easy of access. as
most other nations of Europe Then.
too. the world has come to look upon
Greece from the Turkish standpoint.
and not even the splendid revolution
that freed the kingdom from Moslem
error
PROFESSIONALLY Professor Blackie was
right, the world had come to say mo
matter about Greece, but what of Tur-
key" But we have come to better ap-
preciate the noble struggle. of the
brave Greeks against the Turks, and
better to know the selfishness and mer-
CHESS grasping of the latter. Said
Blaekie. Though Christianity was born
inJudea it grew up to manhood with the
sway of the Greek tongue. and as for
intellect there is not a science of the
most recent birth in modern Europe

ant classes are becoming the owners
OF much of the land once held almost
exclusively by the mobiles. Thus in
1893 it is shown that in forty-fve prov
inces of European Russia there was
passage of lands of the order indicated
in large quantities. more than
in any preceding year, though the
change has been steady for some years.
In that year the nobility parted with
over five and a half million of acres for
the sum of S47 100000 About one
half OF this acreage was acquired by
the merchant class. True the nobility
made some land purchases also, but
the loss of their aggregate holdings
was very great. The rich peasant
class that has acquired land Is
largely a shrewd class. 1t comes
mainly from those who have saved ru-
bic by ruble and left it to their chill
dren with the injunction TO become
landed proprietors, and of those who
have managed to acquire some edu-
cation and to turn it to such thrifty
uses as to bring them in money. The
two classes are very friendly as rule.
They have no hatred of the nobility,
but neither are they it's lovers. AS
they become landed proprietors they
educate their children more literally,
travel when they can, add many OF the
refinements of culture to their homes,
and become a more outspoken and in
dependent people. That the result
must be broadening in its social out
come is easy to understand Such a
process continuing for a considerable
time must operate to emancipate the
Russians from a good deal that is
now slavishly conventional and tend
to make the Government itself more
tolerant. Who shall say that it may
not lead up to a modification of i'm
perialism that may land IN consti-
tutional monarchy?

General Sickles was born in New

Barton Key, the tragedy growing out
Of the latter's intimacy with Sickles'
wife. He was tried and acquitted. His
brilliant war record is we'll known. In

that does not bear the stamp Of Greek
thought and Greek expression upon it's
forehead"
1t was, therefore, he says, not COM
mon but a wholly exceptional case
which induced the Powers and especial
Iy England to intervene in favor of the
revolted subjects of the Porte in Morea
and the adjacent districts of ancient
Hellas. That was a case where the
cry of humanity prevailed over the ne
cations of d heartless policy. What
would Professor Blackie say it he were
alive to-day, at the attitude of the Eng
lish Cabinet concerning the revolted
subjects of the Porte in Crete?
He declared in 1894 that there was
not a human-hearted person in Great
Britain who would wish the indepen-
dence of Greece undone. That is true
to-day of public sympathy in favor OF
Crete; the English people wish the
Cretans to be free of Turkish DONNA
ton, but the Government, which is
moved by nothing sentimental, occupies
a position opposed to the thought of the
great mass of the English people.
Professor BIackie then proceeds to
speak of Greece as a picturesque coun-
try as compared with Switzerland ana
other sections, and to point out that
one reason for lack of knowledge con-
corning Greece is the fact that there
has been, comparatively speaking, so
little of tourist travel into it and such
lack OF fast transportation through it,
which obstacles, however, are now be-
ing rapidly removed. Still another
reason why we know in a popular sense
so little of internal Greece and the
modern Grecians, is inability to speak
with that people, for the way to the
heart of a people lies through their ma
tive tongue. Professor Blackie on this
basis made a fervent plea for the
greater study of the Greek language
in the schools, notably Of the higher
order.

Th,T,I, ora Footbnll Player.

Chicago Record: Evidently there was
going to be a football game, for several
young men wearing knee breeches'
which looked lumpF and waddy and
three inches thick, were standing on the
platform OF the little station, talking
animatediy OF punts and blocks and IN
reference. II was double track road
and one OF the players stepped out be-
tween the rails and looked intently on
to westward to sac II the excursion traih
bringing the opposing team was yet IN
sight. Neither he nor any OF the others
standing near noticed the onward COM
ing OF big, heavy browed freight en-
CINE with long string OF loaded cars
bearing upon him from the opposite d.
rectlon. And so when the engineer who
had expected the youth to set of the
track decided that ne wasn't going to
do 80. and began blowing his whistle
II was too late. With q horrible rear
and thunder the train came on ana
struck the man OF wadded clothes whlle
his back was still turned upon his as

der the pilot. The forward wheels crush
ed over him and the iirebox pressed him
10 the earth. The great bulk OF the To-
connective quiVered as the engineer

platform, stared, speeches., at the roll

great lurch the engine quit the rails
and crash followed crash as the cars
rolled down the embankment after 1t
into the ditch. The last OF the forty ears
had toppled over and the crowd gather
ed in horror to pick up the fragments OF
the dead player. He could not be found
at frst-only the great holes when

As his friends, sick at heart, looked
at one another, a voice rose from the
wreck and In q moment a form np-

A great shout went up; Are you hurt
old man? Are you hurt?"
"Hurt2" he inquired, looking at his
questloners with dazed countenance
which indicated that he was yet ua-
aware OF what had struck him. Hurt?
No: but no thanks to you. Why In
thunder didn't you say you were going

The Catholics are accustomed to speak OF

voluntary one. The Rome correspondent
