1t makes our blood boil to read of the
Tic men have waXed eloquent and indig-
nant at the ferocious barbarities inhict-
ed upon insurgents, pacificos and re-
| concentrates by the Spaniards and their
| native guerrillas But somehow, we bear
with surprising equanimity the news of
the murder of colored postmaster and
his child, the all but murder of his other
children and his wife by the white peo-
pie of Lake City, South Carolina. We
say I'VE" bear it, for presumably South
Carolinians are Americans like the rest
of us. Yet the postmaster and his family
were Of the same blood as many of the
Cubans who have been slaughtered, and
whose homes like theirs have been
burned. There is war in Cuba-at least
so southern statesmen tell us-and in
war many things are not only excusable
but deemed praiseworthy which in time
of peace are rank crimes that smell to
heaven" Why does not this atrocious
Lake City outrage smell to heaven as
a sink of corruption and noisome pestil-
ence? Is the fact that colored post
master is persona non grata to white
population, salutary and complete dis
infectant? Has it the same mysterious
charm as war for turning the crimes of
murder and arson into manly Christian
virtues? The dispatches tell us that the
offenders will never be punished; that
even if the money rewards offered for
the arrest of the murderers should prove
effectual in bringing the ringleaders into
court, they could never be convicted, for
unknown members Of the mob might be
drawn as jurors to try them Why this
rage at Spain? Why this fierce wrath at
"the butcher Weyler," when we cannot
protect our own citizens of African des-
cent and when our own kinsmen, the
neighbors of the slain, will not lift
hand to punish the murderers? What
sort Of casuistry is it that palliates muir
der and cruelty committed by Americans
in America because of race prejudice,
but brands it with ignominy and holds
it up to the detestation of the world,
when it is committed by Spaniards in
Cuba under the guise of war?

FRENCH LACK OF COMMON SENSE.

French literature lacks the saving ele-
ment of common sense, says Henry D.
Sedgwick, Jr., in the March Atlantic.
Nothing could be more brilliant than
Victor Hugo in 1880. His verse flashes
like the white plume of Navarro. His
was the most famous charge in litera-
ture. The courage and brilnancy Of
Hermann and Ruy Bias are prodigious.
but they lack common sense. They
conquer, win deafening applause, bewil-
der men with excitement, but, victory
won, they have not the aptitude for set
tling down. The great French litera-
ture of the Romantic period did not dig
foundation, slap on mortar, or Law
arches In the cellars of its house after
the English fashion. Next to Victor
Hugo, not counting Goethe, the greatest
man of letters in Europe of this CEN
tury, is Sir Walter Scott Mark the
difference between him and Hugo.
Scotts poetry and novels have a vigdr-
Gus vitality from his common sense. and
therefore they are ingrained in the
trunk of English literature; the fresh
sap OF their romance quickens every
root and adds greenery to every bough.
victor Hugo is passionate, imaginative,
majestic, powerful eloquent demagogi-
cal but he does not stand the hard test
of squaring with the experience of conn
mon men.

That is marvellous alliance of Europ-
can nations which the specials in
Thursdays papers said was talked of in
Washington, as the possible hacker of
Spain, in case of rupture with the
United States. A more incongruous
combination than France, Germany,
Austria and Italy, could hardly have
been formed. There was only lacking
the addition Of England and Russia as
allies of the United States to complete
the grotesqueness of the conflict. And
yet, as the New York Evening Post sug-
requires explanation. Most of the
Spanish bonds are held in that country,
and most of them are guaranteed by Gu
ban revenues. Now in all SPANS finan-
cial embarrassment, and in all the ru-
mors Of war, the price of these bonds
has scarcely been affected at all. Why
is this? France is one of those nations
which feel bound, as matter of policy,
to protect the financial interests of their
citizens in foreign lands. Has there
been any intimation to the United
States that we must guarantee payment
in case Cuba falls into our hands or is
separated from Spain by reason Of our
interference? 1t may be. as the Sun
has pointed out, that these bonds are
held by "the Jews" and that while the

ONE OF THE KAIsER's jokes.

(From the Toronto Chronicle)
There are many good anecdotes about
the German emperor, and it must be
owned that they all prove the kaiser to
have no small amount of humor. The
following, which comes from Herr Eh-
lers, the traveller, is smarter than most.
The emperor and Ehlers were college
chums from Bonn, and the emperor
never forgot his old college student. At
Bonn, on special occasions, the different
corps used to drink to one another, and
the following set form was always used:
The president Of the Palatio Corps
raises his glass, saying: 81 have the
great honor and pleasure to empty my
glass in drinking to the Corps OF Bo-
russia" The president OF the latter
corps then replies: '"The corps thanks
and drinks" On the birth Of one of the
sons of the emperor, EhIers telegraphed
him: Il have the great honor and pleas
ure to empty my glass in drinking to
>the youngest Hohenzollern." The en-
peror promptly wired back: THE
youngest Hohenzollern thanks and
drinks"

The Harvard alumni voted 1749 to
1859, majority of 800. in favor of ex-
tending the suffrage in the selection of
overseers to graduates of the profess
sional schools of the university. Thus
is President Eliot's policy upheld, in
spite of the predictions of powerful op-
position. The action Of the alumni, it
should be repeated, has no binding force
in this matter, but it tests the fsense of
the meeting" and amounts to vote
of confidence" The overseers' petition
will now be heard in the legislature,
where action had been deferred out OF
Difference to the result of this vote, and
the presumption is that the petition will
be granted. There are many graduates,
as the vote shows, who are opposed TO
this innovation, but we fancy Charles
William Eliot long ago learned to view
opposition and criticism with calmness.

the time is by no means propitious for
the French government to threaten war
for the relief of the money lenders. But
when the time for action arrives, Zola
and Dreyfus may still be in Jail, and
the tickle French will have some other
excitement to engross their attention.
The fact ever confronts us that the
Spanish bonds hold to their price in
France. When it comes 20 an Ameri-
can guarantee, wouldn't the bondhold-
ers demand a gold guarantee2 How
would that proposition strike the silver
jngoes?

A year in prison and a $500 fine will
hardly convince the world that Emile
zola did not speak the truth when he
said that the acquittal of Maj. Ester

The audience at the fine organ recital
given in Piedmont Church Thursday
evening by Mr.. William c. Hammond
Of Holyoke, assisted by Mr.. Wulf Fries
of Boston, the veteran cellist, and Mr..
William A. Gaylord, organist OF the
church, was far too small, the worth of
the entertainment and the prestige of
the performers considered. 1t is seldom
that so brilliant an organist as Mr..
Hammond is heard in Worcester, ex-
cept when Mr.. Hammond plays here.
Last night he played in his usual form,
but, yielding to a. well-meant sugges-
ton, he substituted the Funeral March
of a Marionnette" and the introduction
to Carmen" for tho Boellmann suite
for the organ, with the intention Of bet
ter pleasing the audience, thus some
what dislocating the program. The ef-
feet of so much delicate, rapid music
was little as if one were trying to
make banjo out of the organ.
The fact is, our Worcester public is
being brought up so well and so fast
with respect to organ music by Mr.. Gay
lord and Mr.. Butler, that it actually
cries for Bach, like baby for Castoria,
and will hardly be comforted without a
little fugue or two in an evenings en-
tertainment. There was no Bach on the
program last night, nor so much as the
ghost of fugue, by him or anybody
else, and the audience pined in secret
Tor what 1t had not. But how can Mr..
Hammond. away off in Holyoke be ex-
pected to follow minutely the growth
or fluctuations in Worcesters musical
taste.
Mr.. Hammond is master; Mr.. Fries
Is past master. As the Nestor of
the cello in these parts he will always
be revered, He has attained the
happy eminenoe of a classic. Some
Of his least agreeable qualities were ap-
parent last night, but each of his three
