The acme of racil feeling has
been reached in the result that at
tended the efforts of Prof. Wright,
paymaster IN the army, when he
attempted ia pay off some of the
southern soldiers. Some of these
actually refused to relieve their pay
from the hands of the colored
paymaster, and the payment had
to be discontinued. This is car
ry1ng things very far indeed, and
an example II discipline ought to
be set. If the government knew
what it was doing in appointing
Major Wright, it should now su-
port him by the whole machinery.

A visitor to the MORO, one of the
Santiago defenses, found that a shell
fred from one of our ships had dis
mounted a six-inch bronze gun made
in 1888. What a vista of history Is
opened by that single shot! A quar-
ter of a century after the cannon be-
gan its career. Wolfe was to die vic
torious at Quebec, and France was to
lose vast possessions on this side, OF
the sea. Soon after came our war Of
independence. and the ejectment Of
the English from our land; and so on.
through list or developments in poll
tics in the new world which have been
a source of wonder to the old world.
The floating triumphant battle ship-a
moving symbol OF national power
from which came the disabling shell.
and the dismounted gun. venerable, but
scarcely menace, may be regarded as
suggesting the condition OF the two
countries-victorious United States
and decadent Spain.

Paris, Oct. 23.--Englsh yellow jour
nalism is beginning to bear fruit here.
There is no question that the relations
between England and France are be-
coming very strained. This Is simply
due to the clustering attitude Of the
London papers over the Fashoda ques-
ton.
So far the French Press has been
very calm. Some little restiveneSs,
however. began to show itself n few
days ago. lie Temps has bitter com.
ments on Punch'S cartoon which shows
France as an organ grinder, with a
monkey on his barrel organ, which is
labeled 'Fashoda." John Bull is say
ing: "GO away" The organ grinder
replies: What you give me-" Where
upon John says: Nothing; but what
will l give you II you don't?' This is
not calculated TO promote a pleasant
understanding.
Last night the Libertc asked if Eng
land really wished to provoke war.

Fashoda under express orders from his
government. If England persists in
maintaining her indefensible demand,
we are as ready TO run the risks Of q re-
fnsal as she is TO support the cOnse-
GGences of the attitude she has taken"
1t would be mistake TO look upon
this as buster. The Liberte only re-
fleets the firm determination of the ma
ton. The people want peace, but not
at any price. The Liberties closing re.
mark is typical Of this sentiment:
I'VE still believe IL says, that war
between France and England would he

have so many reasons for wishing TO
live in harmony. Also for the sake Of
civilization we have have been and are
ready TO make all possible sacrifice TO

Britain. but our mild dispositions and
peaceful sentiments have limits. They
are trying too severely by their ex-
actions, and above all, by their

Does the man who is addicted to vice
in any of its many phases use his
brains? On the contrary he ignores
them, pushes his logical faculty into
4 corner. and foolishly allows his en-
joyment of a temporary pleasure to
interfere with his lasting good. If
ne were to spend half an hour day
in examining himself, and could DO il
as impartially as the naturalist ex-
amines a weed or an insect. would he
voluntarily allow himself to be pois-
oned by an evil habit, or would he ex-
pect TO avoid the consequences of inn
moral courses? His difficulty is that
he does not think half enough, or even
makes an effort not to think at all.
knowing, in vague sort OF way, that
il he thinks he will be sforced to con-
denim himself If / could persuade
men TO think more profoundly about
their souls. about consequences which
are the effects OF causes, I should be
