DECLINE or CIVILIZATION.

II Is a significant fact that on the
very eve OF this division Of time, as the
last hours OF the nineteenth century are
silently floating away with the unceas-
Ing current Of time many a thought
ful mind is seriously apprehensive that
there is a worldwide reaction against
the civilization that Is the crown and
the boast Of our age.
The latest 10 sound the alarm IN
this direction IS a Russian author NJ
Engelhardt, who, IN an article quoted
ln the Literary Digest, summarizes the
political activity Of the world In two
propositions the truth Of which Is but
TOO painfully apparent He finds that
the civilized nations especially the
strongest OF them. are natural ire
c0nouable enemies. because each aims
at world-domnlon; and that the 500
called savage nations are the prey Of
,he civilized powers, and subject TO dis
memberment and grab. This is the
politics OF the over.mani It IS the
philosophy OF Nletzsche In practical OPP
Grafton. and Il is called the carrying Of
civilization TO the lower races, Death,
on submission TO exploitation"
The author In looking around the
stage OF the world finds confirmation
OF these propositions In an directions,
but no stronger evidence than that fur
nlshed by the race hatred exhibited IN
"a country ike the United States where
100000 human beings, because OF the
color OF their skin, are subjected 20
insults punished without trial. as
saulted burned at the stake. and 9th
erwise maltreated, The same spirit IS
