HoarEuinaIdo Influence.
(From the Boston Journal.)

The American people have borne quietly a
great deal OF hysteria and some downright black
guardism from the violent foes OF their Govern
ment in this controversy the Philippines,
but the Springfield Republicans assertion that
the Georgia iynehings are "of the white civiIza-
tion We would carry to the Orient passes the
bounds OF patience. II is a shameful insult OF
which the yellowcst OF yellow journalism should
be incapable
So with this Springfield newspapers further
sneer that "a braggaft civilization is revealed
which needs TO look TO itself and its home prob
lens before venturing further on this world cru
sade." The civilization" OF Georgia county
is not the civilization Of the United States.
Lynching is q foul crmc, black blot. but it is
contemplate malignty which would use it to
blacken a whole ration Of sevcnty-fiye millions.
This Republic as whole does not condone the
Georgia barbarity. Il regards it with horror and
detestation 1t is TO he expected that it will be
flung in the face of all OF us by every journal in
Europe which hates republican institutions and
the American name, hut this Use of US by news

Diplomatic Discretion.

AS long as America was provincial and

world. our Elijah Programs. our Hoars.
and other similar local products could rail
at the Gar, twist the tail Of the British
lion. and do anything else necessary to
their own convenience, interests, or igno-
rance. without exciting more than laugh
| or contemptuous cartoon in Europe.
| Since the United States became a world
power. circumstances and the necessities
of the situation have changed. We are
now sitting in a game with other powers
and we must not only observe the rules
of the same, but must neither accuse our
neighbors of cheating. steal their chips,
nor make unpleasant observations as to
| their method of play.
In any case are not in the best po-
sition to adopt a truculent role in connec-
ton with the indiscreet remarks of our Of
1cials regarding our friends in Europe.
We must remember that we have not been
/ slow in establishing precedents which We
ought to consider with philosophy when
/ they happen TO retroact We sent Lionel
Sackville-West kiting out of the country
I for writing a private letter in which he
merely said that British interests would
be subserved by the reelection of the

a case of THE greater the truth, the great
er the libel" but it was right enough to
give him his walking papers, neverthe-
less, for not keeping his head. Last year
there was diplomatist here who wrote
another private letter in which he indulg-
ed in some reflections upon our President.
We refer TO Senator Hale's friend, Dupuy
de LONE. There was a great row in con-
sequence.
| 1t comes to this. that If the American
people will not tolerate official foreign
criticisms of themselves or their Execu-
tive, they should not grumble If the gov

impertinently at the rulers of European

EngIand,s Main Defence.
(From tie Minneapolis Tribune }

Nio"' te '4''ie"P"iiS iii"""e.'
England's safety lies in her navy and in the
strip of stormy water that separates her from
the continent of Europe. Were it not for her
prcdominancc in sea power, combination of
France and Germany OF any two or three
frst-class powers, could concentrate and land
armies OF invasion large enough TO march from
one end of the island to the other and overwhelm
all opposition The British people know this,
and this is the reason why they continuing
their naval expenditures on such tremendous
scale from year 10 year, and why the wsest British
Statesmen seek alliance and friendship with the
United States. which bids fair to become even
greater than Great Britain naval power.
Any successful attack upon England must be di-
rccted first against her supremacy on the ocean.
That destroyed, the rest would be comparatively
easy

THE NEXT spEAKERsH17.
Mr.. Sherman's Prospects Bright aad
Mr.. Cannon working Hard.

Representative J. s. Sherman OF New
York was in Washington for a few hours
yesterday. In regard 10 bis contest for the
Spcakership and his prospects for success
he would say nothing except that every
thing was looking bright. The Impression
Is gaining ground that Representative
Payne Will withdraw in favor OF his coll
league. Mr.. Sherman will thus have the
solid delegation OF his State. and as he Is
unopposed by any candidate in the East at
present. with the exception OF Mr.. Payne.
he viii have the backing OF almost all the
Eastern members
Representative Cannon. of Illinois. has
been particularly active and has announced
to his friends that he Is a bona fide candi-
date and is in the race to the end Mr.
Cannon promises to make a game struggle.
and owing to his long experience and his
marked abilities may prove formidable
candidate. While he has no desire to draw
any strength from his colleague Repre-
sentative Hopkins. Mr. Cannon does no,
think the prospects of either himself or
Mr. Hopkins will be injured b. their pre-
senting to the House divided delegation
from Illinois. On the contrary, this may
prove source of strength, as it would de-
prive the contest of the appearance Of be-
ing too much matter CT locality and may
prevent its resolving itself into a contest
between State delegations or localities
General Grosvenor and Representative
Burton appear to think that Ohio has been
sufficiently loaded with honors during the
last few years, and they express some dill
cence about entering the race for the
Speakership. They realize. however, that
Ohio holds the balance of power as between
the East and West and the support of the
Ohio delegation is worth having. For this
reason they are carefully refraining from
expressing opinions. and each Is reserving
his strength in case there should be drift
OF sentiment for dark horse. In that
event either Representative Grosvenor or
Burton would expect to win. So far Hon
kins has not visited the city. and while il
is expected he will come here during the
summer, no time has been fixed for his

(From the st. Paul Dispatch.)
Nothing can palliate excuse the unreasonng
rage of those Georgia citizens who yesterday
turned out to the number of 1900 and burned
at the stake with awful torture the black beast
who had murdered husband and outraged wife
whose garments were dripping with the blood Of
the first victim. while the infant child was hurled
like stone against the wall OF the room where
the fendish crime was perpetrated. The South
will say Served him right while the North,
which never witnessed such atrocities, either in
crime its punishment, will be shocked at both.
But before we pass judgment on the avengers let
us charitably imagine that outraged and degraded
woman, ravished in the blood OF her husband. a
sister What would we do?

with a sojourn at resorts or in camp a t
favOrab bic points, is understood to be
the best outing that fellow-citizen
Of moderate means can find within his
reach. A trip up and down the great
lakes serves the same purpose as a trip
across the continent by rail to create
vivid conception of the greatness of this
country. The length of the lakes is
some 1,500 miles, and to produce an APP
probation of their remarkable diversi-
ty they should be seen from both direc-
tons, making voyage as long as that
across the Atlantic. An American who

he has no images of his own country to
compare with the images of other coun-
tries which may be formed in the mind.
