The Practical Study of History.

One of the many remarkable phenomena
Of the present age of the world is the new
spirit with which men are coming to the
STUDY of history. 1t is especially notable
in this country
The system of universal education which
prevails at the present day, and which was
practically unknown before the middle of
this century, allows and encourages the
study Of the past, and it is coming more
and more to be studied in its relation to
the present. The thoughtful observer can
not but see that such studies, pursued by
the mass Of the population of a Republic,
must in time result ii the making of his
tory at a rate hitherto unimagined
The average student of history, in former
years, read the records of the past because
they were interesting in themselves. or be-
cause they were part of the education of
gentleman. The teaching of history in the
modern college is more and more connected
with the life of the present The expert
enee Of other Re~ublics is tacitly, If not ex-
pIicitly, compared with that of our own;
the forces at work in former ages are COM
pared with those which move mankind now
and the tendency is to look below the sur
contrast the influence of one race with that
of another, and try to forecast the future
from the experience OF the past. This has
always been done. more or less, by indie
pendent thinkers. dreameFs and doetri-
naires; 1t is now done by men who are not
dreamers and who take an active part in
the life of their time. They speak, more
over. 10 an audience which is intelligent
enough to follow their arguments and to
weigh their reasons. With the progress of
popular education this state of things will
not cease to exist. but the tendency will,
on the contrary, become more marked and
decisive.
In the study Of historical events OF the
past one of the things which must inevi-
tahly strike the reader is the unexpected
.ness of the course which human thought
and action takes. The historian or his
readers may be able to trace the course
OF the whirlwind and see how a thousand
little signs portended its coming; but the
people Of the time had no idea it was
anywhere on the road till it lifted the
roofs off their houses. VIII the time ever
come when the people will be able not
only to predict, but to influence, the
course of events? Shall we haze a sure
and certain means of escaping eatastro-
Plies due to wrong government, or to
awakened passion and preiudice2 Proba

vino and the sea, always liable to uncon-
tralled outbreaks or unforeseen storms.

coctions of serpentine length and a pre-
ponderanee of eonsonauts. expressing the
idea which is expressed in English by a
Latin deriVatiye, generally much shorter
word than the German synonym.
1t must be remembered that in scientific
books and essays, accuracy, not ease OF
comprehension, is considered to be of prime
Importance, and the reader is supposed, If
really interested in the subject, to take
pains 20 find out what each unfamiliar
term means. In the example given above.
for instance, higher plants" is not an alb
solutely accurate term while "multicellu-
lar organisms is. There is the same diff
ference between the two phrases that there
is between such words as some or "a
few" and the specific numerals two, three,
or eight. 1t would not be exactly accurate,
in the description of deg, to say that he
had some legs but if he is described as
a quadruped there is no question about the
number
All the same, there is a tendency toward
the use Of long words unnecessarily, and it
is particularly noticeable in some of our
schoolbooks. Children stumble YEARLY
through a description of a plant. eouched
in terms wholly unfamiliar to them, and
do not know as much of the topic as they
did before because their previous knowl-
edge has been confused and contradicted.
1t is possible to teach science so that the
average person viii get fairly good knowl-
edge CT it, without the use of any very
complex terms: and, wherever practicable,
this should be done. Most OF the ideas es-
sential TO human culture can be expressed
in simple language.

our Foreign Relations.

Dispatches from Europe today contain
the Interesting statement that while the
German Government has expected the re-
election Of Mr. Mckinley, it does not re-
gard him as friendly TO Germany
The Teutenic mind should d!sabuse it
self on that score at once. For purposes
Of a domestic political character it las
been advisable fer the President 10 as
sumo a position Of apparent dissent from
the policy of his ally. Great Britain, in
China, and to pretend a feeling of extra
ordinary friendship for Russia and Fran o.
But the election is over now. and there
is not any reason remaining why Mr.. Ne
KinIey should not return openly to an
alliance which has never been departed
from as matter of fact.
As England is in partnership with the
Kaiser at present, the latter has no cause
to fear that England's American friend
viii make himself unpleasant. All Ger
many has to do is to induce Lord Sails
bury to convey the proper hint to Wash
ington and a rapprochement will be made
and fitted Immediately. The Hay Paunce-
fote Treaty is to be ratified. and the Alas
kan boundary deilmited according TO Brit
ish ideas and claims. Great Britain long
ago made deal with the Mckinley Ad-
mInistration for these things. The price,
whatever it was, presumably has been
raid. The goods are yet to be delivered, but
there VIII be no trouble about that, as Con-
gress will be more in control than ever,
and the President from now 'on will be
scornful OF critics. While Great Britain
is in love with Germany we shall be also.
The doubt expressed in Berlin is utterly
baseless The two Williams are naturally
and of right :aght to be brothers.

SHIP DAMAGED BY 4 GALE.
Sugar Steamer From Java
Reaches New York.

NEW YORK. Nov. 7.-StiIl another mes
senger from the sea came in yesterday
with tidings Of the gale in which the st.
Paul Of the American Line. on October 81,
met with such serious mishap. The French
Line steamship Touraine and the Atlantic
Transport Line steamship Manitou, which
arrived Monday, brought in reports OF the
storms fury, and yesterday the sugaria
den steamship Baron Innerdale, from Java,
arrived with tangible evidence of the rough
ness of the seas Boats and rails were
broken, and one beat had been lost,
The Baron Innerdale and the steamship
Baron Eldon sailed from Java, September
l, for New York, the former from Passoer-
Dean on the east coast and the latter from
Pehalongan on the north coast The Baron
Fnnerdale made a stop at Colombo, Island
of Ceylon, whence she sailed September 49,
Both arrived at Delaware Breakwater Mon
day being reported only four hours apart.
and the Baron Innerdale proceeded for this
port with her cargo Of 5000 tons OF sugar
for the American Sugar Refining Company.
The other vessel has a similar cargo
On their arrival here the officers Of the
Baron Innerdale reported running into the
storm OF October 81 The wind blew With
hurricane force from the northwest in
squalls It was barely possible to steer
against the onslaught of the seas that hurl-
ed themselves against the bows and thun-
dered over the forecastle.

FRAUDS IN WINE MAKING
Fakirs Who Supply Alleged Fine Ar
tic1es Mt Low Prices.
tFrom the London Mail.)


Today is the day of the wine fakir.
Never before in the history of the trade
have his devices been so numerous and
his connections SO villainous Never be-
fore. too, have his profits been more salts
factory. So long as there is a demand for
full-bodied "Burgundies' and "clarets"
at. say 6 shillings a dozen. that demand
will be supplied.
There is vast difference between fab
ricated and adulterated wine. The latter
is generally pretty easy to deal with.
Fabricated vine is far more difficult of
detection
Here we have a connection of a more
or less chemical nature, which is designed
with the express idea of closely initiating
the genuine wine, both in color 'fbou-
Quet," and taste. One favorite fabrica-
ton consists of 80 per cent of water, Ia
per cent of alcohol, and 1 LIZ per cent of
tannin- The two latter ingredients are
obtained from the cheapest form Of i'm
ported raisins
Very frequently these straisins" consist
of squeezed grape huks which have al
ready done genuine service In some
French wine press. They cost next to
nothing to import are refermented here
in England and their Juice" is eked out
with the aid of tartaric acid and mo-
lasses. Consequently the maker is en-
abled to sell his concoction at the ridc-
ulously low price of about Is I'd per gal
lon, and at the same time to make an ex-
cellent profit upon the transaction. Much
of this beverage first sees the light in or
near London.
The retailer sells it again at about IS Sd
per gaEion; or If bottled and beau tifully
sealed and eobwebbed, at the considerably
enhanced price of, say, sixpence per pint
bottie-.'Our famous six shilling elaret."
A particularly pungent revelation of
the beauties of certain British light
wines was afforded the Food Preserva-
tiyes Committee by Prof. w II. Morfeid.
This scientist, who is Gems lifting sanitary
adviser to Her Meiesty's ofhce CT Wos ks,
stated that he commonly found salicylie
acid in these ayintages." SaEcyiic acid,
added he for the benefit of his non-sefen-
tif1e hearers, was a slightly acrid. irritat-
ing substance which was much in demand
among afflicted people as a corn solvent.

Lord Lister and Viv:section,
From the Pail Mall Cazatte

Lord Lister can scarcely be claimed as sup
porter by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Delivering
the Huxley lecture, yesterday the eminent
founder OF the system of aHtiseptic surgery gave,
details of certain experiments he had made on
fros3, bats and other animals. We have no
doubt that, Lord Lister himself put it. some
people would consider that by these experi-
me,fts, which. he said caused no pain to the
victims, he had deserved a horsewhipping
Other people will probably agree with him that
any thing which contributes to the alienation
OF human suffering is worth 1.-THE lives of few
frogs or even of rabbit Considering the
inestmable value OF that antiseptic system which
as Lord Lister said. has been the labor of his
life, and his contribution to the profession he
loves," the price certainly does not seem ex-
eessiye.

The Result.

At last it is borne in upon the American
people that Hanna and what he represents
are triumphant, and that they like it.
Hanna is the individual who holds the
mandate Of the trusts to dominate the
country, and he has elected his man. He
has elected the man whose plain duty
1t was to respect and support the Con-
stitution of the United States, but who de-
parted from that plain duty when the
trusts ordered him to do SO. He has elect
ed the man of the British alliance, the
man who surrendered American territory
In Alaska to Great Britain without fight,
the man of imperialism and miIitarisn!
But Hanna has not done this without aid.
He has had the assistance of thirty mil
lion dollars, contributed by the trusts,
and the effect OF that money upon the SUI
frage. Generations yet unborn, when they
study the origin of the empire under
which they are to live. will trace its
origin to the consulate of Hanna
We have nothing of which to complain
The people have spoken. They had the
issue before them 10 decide as they pleas
ed They appear to have decided that
they want to place unbrIdIed power in the
hands Of trusts and monOpolies, and they
will find that they have SO placed it. It
is the unquestionable privilege of a free
people to sell themselves into slavery. It
is their undouSted right to forge the

The beautiful and accomplished Mr..
Hanna is indicated. In the hour of his
triumph we trust that he will be kindly
disposed toward his former friend and
electoral college. Rathbone, and forgive
that Individual for threatening to tell
what he knows. The result of the Presi-
Dental election is proof positive that the
American people approve Of the way Mr..
Hanna got into the Senate. and would
cheerfuliy vote for a constitutional
amendment to make II the only possible
way.
