Zangwill GUYS the French.

Prejudice lends itself readily alike to
the schemer and the humorist. Those
Spanish editors, samples Of whose
marvellous accounts Of this country and
its people we gave the other day, I'M
doubleday know better. but they are
playing upon the prejudices of their
readers, who, inflamed with anger with
the "Gringoes," are in mood to believe
anything to their detriment. We are
not clear that our own people are ex-
empt from this weakness, and that
they have not been quite as ready to
accept exaggerations as are the Span
iards.
Mr.. Zangwill tells how gullible preju-
dice makes its victim. He ran over
to Paris lately, and while there met
an editor ofhone Of those papers that
have been SO full Of upbraidings of
this country. SIS there not some syn
dictate or money! making job at the
back Of the WARP" asked the editor.
Zangwill could not resist the tempta-
ton to guy thus offered him. So he
solemnly assured the editor that such
was the case; that the Century COM
pany had exhausted all the magazine
material Of the Civil war, had exploit
ed Napoleon, and it must suspend pub
llcat1on unless it could have another
war. So it induced congress to over
ride the president and declare war, and
it is organizing g staff of artists TO
go out and utilize the opportunities for
getting fresh impressions Of war on
the spot. And the editor, gravely COM
menting on Mr.. Zangwill's information,
assured his readers that 'undoubted-
ly. NJ. Zangwill is correct"

The Oregon election should set Min
resota Democrats to thinking whether
fusion pays and whether it is wise to
listen to the opportunists Of the party
who counsel union or fusion with any,
thing and anybody merely to beat the
common enemy. There will always be
a contingent Of Democrats who will re-
fuse to make trading stock of their
principles and refuse to be parties to-
any deal. In Oregon, in 1895, while the
major Part Of the Democrats supported
the fusion. there were enough Demo-
Gratis remaining true to their party to
let the Republican congressman in by
scant pluralities. This year they win
by majorities of from 1000 to 5000, and
the legislature is Republican. Fusion
has ended. as it always does, and by it's
very nature must, in confusion. Ore
