The Ancestral Societies.
New York Times)


,rhe writer's and readers OF newspapers
have had their amusement over the pre-
posterous coronation" OF an iI-ady1sed
young woman OF this city. The per-
formance has. no doubt, been ridiculous
enough from one point or view. f'rom
another It is fitted to excite melancholy
rather than mirth. Personal vanity so
egregious and morbid as was displayed
In this operation seems to come proper
ly under the head of that natural Ia-
tuity'' which DR.. johnson declared 10 be
mot the proper prey OF the satirlst."
The incident Is mainly TO be regretted
for the discredit Il tends TO east upon
the historical societies which have sprung
up within the last few years In such
extraordinary profusiOn. The plous
work OF celebrating their ancestors TO
which the members Of these societies de-
vote then selves Is not always easily dis.
tinglishable from the less respectable
object OF celebrating themselves Tor
having had ancestors so meritorious. In
either case the tendency is TO exaggc-
rate the achievements of the ancestors
I'm question. and to give them more than
their due OF historical Importance. The
corrective Of this tendency has been adj
ministered rather cynically by some
candid lecturers and historians, who may
fairly be suspected of desire unduly to
disparage what they found unduly ex-
alted. The obvious fact that people vino
are contented at home do not cmtgrate
constitutes a presumption against the
belief that "early settlers" were impOr-
tant people. OF course this presumption
may be overthrown by evidence. Tho
case OF religious prosecutions, such as
that which had the result OF driving the
Huguenots out of France. removes the
presumption in such cases, and in any
particular case IT may ne rebutted. hut
upon the whole the emigrants who came
10 America during the seventeenth CEN
tury came for the same motive that inn
pels the emigrants Of the nineteenth.
They came to better their condition,
which they would not have done. nor
needed to do, had they been swells ag
home.
But whatever vanity and nonsense
there may have been I'm the formation
or conduct of the societies 10 which MEM
bership is obtained upon ancestral claims,
they have performed, and continue 10
perform important public services. IL
is better that American history should
be studied through a rose-colored medium
than that 1t should not be stucied at all
and without doubt the various ancestrsl
societies have given a great stimulus TO
the study OF American history in general,
as well as of American genealOgy IN par
ticular. More than that, they have done
the State specific services. The erection
of monuments by the Society OF Colonial
Wars, the marking of memorable places
by the Sons of the Revolution, the pubil-
cation Of the calendar OF ancient Wills,
and the maintenance of a Colonial ma-
scum by the Colonial Dames-all these
are useful public works. And the absurd
performance of this week win have had
its uses if IL impresses upon the ancestral
societies the desirableness of making
themselves useful, and OF avoiding to
make themselves ridiculous.

OPINION IN LONDON.
General View Against suspicious of
Foul Play.

LONDON, February 1.-THE Daily
News, commenting on the disaster to the
United States warship Maine, says: The
disaster reaches the very extremity OIL
horror. The public feeling of the world
shocked by this dire calamity, Will DO
well to initiate the restraint imposed on
that of the United States by both the
Washington government and the captain
of the Inflated ship. For suspicious OF
foul play there seem to be absolutely no
warrant. though naturally they haunt the
minds Of many Americans. They should
be entertained only on absolute compui-
sion. A spark of misdirected national feei-
ing might cause terrible mischief.
The attitude of Spain at this agonizlhg
moment will either efface the Hemory
of the De LONE incident forever, or re-
vive IL with added conditions OF bitter
ness and evaporation that cannot be en-
tertained without a shudder
The Morning Post, in an editorial OF
profound sympathy, expresses the nope
that certain American senators, WI"
have allowed themselves to be quoted
rather wildly" will suspend Juuginen..
The paper does not believe in the torpedo
theory, ana tnlllkS tHc ut9o'tNi 49,
of an accident. but it fears the real cause
will never be known.
The Daily Chronicle says: "Brftish sor-
row and sympathy are little less vlVid

"SOME NEW EXPLOSIVE"
