GREAT NEWSPAPERS OF EURO

GREAT NEWSPAPERS OF EUROPE.
During the coming year The Bookman
will publish a series of articles on the
great newspapers of Continental Europe,
as TO whose conduct. methods, and per-
sonnet of their staffs very little is gener-
ally known in the United States. Such in
fiuential journals as the Temps, Of Paris,
the Kolnische Zeitung, the Neue Freie
Presse, OF Vienna, the Tribuna Of Rome,
and the Novoe Vremla, of St Petersburg,
will be described from the standpoint Of
their political influence and of their lit
erary character. Notice will be also taken
of the lesser papers, such as the Petit
Journal whose enormous circulation among
the masses makes them powerful for good
or for ill. The articles which compose
this series will be written by contributors
who have an intimate and special know
ledge of the subject.

a consequence, to talk Of Austria or Hun
gary in such a way as to give the i'm
preston that either state can act or think

10 insist with somewhat rasping iterations
and violent patriotismse Observation-Disclosures
to talk nonsense Between so many ma
tionaIities, with their disverse ambitions
and violent patriotisms, there can exist no
common standing ground.
The interests of the Germans are not
those Of the Czechs, nor are the aims of
the Poles those Of the Ruthenians. From
being in agreement. they are often en-
tirely opposed. In the same way there is
no Austrian literature, no Austrian Ian
guage, no Austrian patriotism, no Austrian
standard Of civilization. There is Ger
man language and a German literature
there, and a Polish language and Polish
literature a little further on, and some Slav
dialects elsewhere, with patches OF Italian
and Roumanian. Each Of these races, the
German and Czech in particular, claim
to be the only true and genuine Austrian.
but none of them really is. The true Aus
TRAN would be a medley Of eight or nine
different nationalities, as appalling to con-
template as the monster conjured by
Horace for the edifcation Of young Piso.
Very much the same might be said OF
Hungary, though in tina division Of the
monarchy the easy supremacy Of the Mag
vars has given to the kingdom certain
air OF solidity and oneness. Hungarian
interests" are useually taken TO mean the
interests of the dominant race IN Hungary,
the Magyars, who are however, consider
ably less than half the total population.
The Servians and the Croats, the Slovacks,
Slovenians, and Roumanains, have inter-
ests and racial ambitions of their own
which are not IN harmony with those OF
the Magyars. any more than the interests
of the Armenians are in harmony with
those Of the Turks. The struggles be-
tween the nationalities of Hungary have
ended in more or less sullen acquiesence
in Magyar rule, but in Austria they are
still bitterly active-more so, perhaps, dur

From Pole to Pole.

II has been referred to as remarkable that
the United States Government, in fitting ont
its expedition for the relief of the whalers i'm
prisoned in the Arctic Seas, should have se.
ected and icclnded Royal Baking Powder
among its supplies, and no other.
This is not at ali TO be wondered at. The
Superior quality OF the Royal made its use
upon this occasion indispensable. The Royal
is the only baking powder so carefully snd
perfectly made that it will keep fresh 10 all
climates, under variable degrees Of teupera-
ture and moisture, daring loog sea voyages,
etc. II is the only baking powder that will
do its work unifor mly and perfectly at the
Poles and under the Bquasor as well as in
the United States.
The Royal is regularly aud continuously
selected for use at our srmy posts, in the ns-
yies of this country and Great Britain aud
upon the fleets Of merchant vessels that cover
the oceans, irrespective of the flag they Hy.
All this means that the Royal is the best
baking powder for home use also. 1t means
that it has qualities peculiar to itself which
make it's usefulness beyond that possible for
any other baking powder 10 attain.

SITUATION MORE PACIFIC.

On the face Of things Me situation
growing out OF our relations with Spain
appears decidedly more pacific. Yester-
day the President. In a special message
transmitted to Congress the report of the
board appointed to investigate the Maine
disaster. The full report gives us no more
information as to the cause and the cha
racter of the explosion than was con-
tanned in the bulletin abstract Of its con-
tents printed Saturday morning. The
message accompanying the report is emil
nently conservative, as we read it, and is
courteous TO Spain throughout. Apart
from a short review Of the history of the
disaster and q running syllabus of the
document transmitted there is nothing in
the message calling for special comment,
except these statements OF the President:
II have directed that the finding of the
court OF inquiry and views of this govern
ment thereon be communicated to the
government Of her Majesty, the Queen
Regent and / do not permit myself TO
doubt that the sense of justice of the
Spanish nation will dictate course of ac-
relations OF the two governments,
at will be the duty of the Executive to
advise Congress of the result. and in the
mean time deliberate consideration is in
voked."
And the only comment TO be made upon
these statements is that they were due
no less to Spain than to ourselves. Ger
tainly we have no right to doubt until
the contrary is proved that the Spanish
nation will be guided by a sense of JUS
tice and honor. Certainly justice and
honor demand that our consideration
should be deliberate, lest we do both par
ties to the controversy injustice.
Further. The Presidents invocation to
calm and deliberate consideration is ac-
centuated by the rumor that Spain is WILL
ing to make greater concessions in re-
gard 10 Cuba, and by the fact that the
peace party has triumphed I'm the election
in Spain. Indeed, this last fact alone In
creases the obligation upon us to deliber-
ate calmly, and not take any premature
action. Even IL Spain has not yet signi-
fed that she would go still further in the
matter of concessions. the endorsement Of
the Sagasta ministry and the course Of
that ministry since 1t has been i'm power
action, and the consequent hope of a
final peaceful solution of the problem.
Ssgasta is freer now to treat broadly and
literally with this country touching all
the issues involved In the Cuban question
than he has been at any time since ne
may be optimistic, but we think it is JUS
titled by conditions both here and at
Madrid.
