On the Wrong Tack.

II the editors of certain journals,
that are continually featuring the
people of this country, would them
selves be more careful of the proprie-
ties, their regulations as elect people
inspired by high ideals would suffer
correspondingly less. 1t is hard to
believe they are even swayed by a
mean spirit; but the opinion of one
of them appearing only the other
day, that Cuba under Spanish rule
would fare better than under Ameri.
can comes dangerously near it. The
same paper, New York daily, ad
mitted in another issue, that our
new responsibilities involved no in
surmountable difficulties if we had
great men to manage them. This
sentiment, true only in the first in
stance, carried an envenomed pro
vlso so contrary to all our experienc,
that emphatic protests were hearc
up and down the land.
A dignihed silence was more appro

English Teaching in New Colonies.

General Kitchener takes back with
him tn Khartoum a substantial sum
OF money, the gift OF English people,
with which to found a great college.
This is a credit to the givers, and
reveals once more that spirit of
Anglo-Saxon helpIulness. which prom
ises SO much for the i'm provement of
backward races. Lord Kitchener, it
is said intends that instruction shall
be given at his college in the English
language. The Spectator objects on
the ground that mems characters are
not best formed when their instruc
ton is in a language differing from
the one in which they think. There
may be some truth in the Spectators
argument for people who have al.
ready stores OF text books in their
own language. But tor people like
those at Khartoum and like those
with whom we purpose to have
some dealings in the Philippines it
strikes us that Lord Kltchener's in
tention is the right one. That is to
say, whatever language may be en-
ployed as vehicle OF instruction in
primary departments, the language
OF the university should be that
which will most quickly unlock the
vast storehouses of English knowl.
edge. No one can be educated against
his will, that goes without saying,
and there is always the danger of
race prejudice against a alien lar
guage, but the important thing is to
get modern knowledge Immediately
available to the inquiring native
mind. 1t will then get filtered and
adapted to local needs by native
cleverness. II the example of Mexico
in introducing instruction in English
in her higher schools is any indica-
ton, we may be fairly confident, with
Gen. Woods experience at Santiago
de Cuba likewise before us, that Lord
Kltchener's plan is in the right direc.
ton, and that the Philippines revolt
against everything Spanish, will
pave the way to some sort OF English
teaching among them.

Forward.

1t is a curious thing, all this oppo-
sition now threatening the winning
of new lands and the installation
therein of Anglo Saxon methods OF
control. 1t seems to confirm the
sentiment that human beings dislike
noting as much as innovation. To
evade it people are put to all sorts
of shifts to fortify their position and
undermine that OF their opponents.
When both precedent and common
sense fail them, and as at present the
argument seems set off to the credit
of the innovators, then they fall to
and berate the imbeclity and in
capacity Of the American people to
govern their own fatherland.
They profess to see the end of rep
resentative government itself. Their
babble, however, OF imperial dangers
and political pitfalls has few terrors
for thinking and resolute people.
The work OF improving a few more
square miles Of this earth to the end
that justice and reason may temper
the ills OF some sulf.ring and unfor-
innate people, who will go on and
on, and some day its reflex action will
be Ielt by ourselves. We shall then
share in a larger world in which it
will be both to our interest and
pleasure to add to the stock Of
human comfort and happiness in
some way commensurate with our
resources and genius. 1t is written
large in the book OF destiny and we
cannot escape it if we would. Who
can survive the odum OF thinking to
trail hlg once covering this quality
OF progressive innovation.
