AMERICA AND EUROPE.

America-meaning the United States-is dis
Nked by European powers says THE Specta-
tor" Of London. because of her attitude in
South America. "She will neither take 1t nor
let anybody else" The other two reasons for
the dislike of America are its protective policy
and fits insstence npon the maintenance Of the
''open door IN China. This indictment of
America is made in the course of a discussion
OF Admiral Canevaro's remarkable speech at
Toulon, and il seems more strange and uncalled
for than IT'S text. THE Spectator" has usually
been TOO calm and philosophic and withal too
friendly, in its considerations of American
affairs and of American relations with the rest
of the world for such utterance as that
which we have quoted. Still ''auandoaue bonus
dormitat Homerus." 1t was only few years
ago that 'The Spectator" predicted that some
day the overcrowded millions of Continental
Europe would pour in overwhelming numbers
and with overw helming force into South Amer
ica for conquest and colonization. The bee that
then was in its bonnet must still be buzzing:
whence this latest reflection Of unrea soning
reasons for hatred of this country
The protective policy and the demand for an
''open door" in China need no apology or vim
dication. though such might readily be given on
almost any ground, from the "tu quoque''
upward. The South American grievance is an
old one. dating back to the days OF the Holy
Alliance" but il is founded upon msconcep-
tton which age does not seem TO stale nor
custom wither. The obvious purport OF II at
this time is 10 picture the United States as
playing the part OF the dog in the manger and
10 argue that IL we Will not open the political
doors OF South America TO European CONQUEST
Europe is under no obligation to keep open the
commercial doors OF China TO American indus
try and trade. The fallacy is twofold-frst, in
that the dog in the manger" proverb is quite
incongruous with the attitude of the United
States toward South America. and. second in
that there is no true analogy between South
America and China.
The dog in the mnnger in the fable. could no,

present case, II we may continue the imager
there is already an OK eating the hay from
the manger, and the dog simply stands guard

is true that some of those countries are Ill
governed and are not living half way up to
their possibilities. Nevertheless. it is not for
European powers to declare them weighed in
the balance and found wanting. Nor is there
the least unreasonableness or inequity in this
country's insisting, as it has done with Euro
pean acquiescence for more than three-fourths
Of a century, that they shall all be permitted
to work ont their own salvation free from
aggression or oppression.
We yield place to no one in appreciation of
American and European civilization as in gen.
eral superior TO that of any other part of the
world. But the notion that every other part of
the world is to be taken either by America or
by some European power is untenable We
hear. for example. Of no proposals to take"

Will be sheer spolation, indefensible in law or

has not committed itself to the theory that
Chinese integrity should be respected and main
tanned. If that attitude toward China is now
abandoned. that is because Of China's failure
TO act in manner compatible with its mainten-
ance. But to pretend that South America. with

MINISTER'S IN THE SICkROOM.

The Rev Dr. Harcourt of Baltimore, for
merly well known as a Methodist minister, has
aroused the clergy generally by asserting that
as rule clergymen ought not to be allowed TO
enter q sickroom. Il advise everybody, he
said in a sermon which he preached on Sunday
evening in the Peoples Methodist Church Of
Reading PENN Ito be exceedingly careful
about allowing a minister to visit in the sick
room His very presence is cause for alarm.
His solemn colntenance, his tone Of voice, his
"tiptoeing around the sickbed are grave cause
for alarm; but when he approaches the patient
land with sad countenance looks into his face,
feels his pulse and then heaves n deep sigh
land says Let us have a few words of prayer
such a dose of ministerial ministration is
enough TO make a well man SICK and no
doctor or nurse can overcome even with
powerful and efficacous remedies the effects
''of such visit as have described
'One OF the oldest editors in Pennsylvania,
"wbo knows my views upon this subject, writes
ito me saving: 4 firmly believe that many are
'hastened to the grave by the ministerial habit
of invading the chamber Of the sick with
"'intensified manifestations of solemnity My
own doctor recently kept out five ministers
from my sickroom. and l still live. l believe
many deaths hastened by ministerial Wis
'itatons to the sickroom.

"out of the sickroom; it is not his place. Let
him grapple with men in lfe-this will try his
grit and graee-but keep him from taking ad-
vantage of a man in the hour of his weakness.

This is a highly rhetorical method Of discuss

sickbed, nor do all ministers initiate the oeagi-

Aaron Burr was by nature and train
ing man of extraordinary self con-
troll He allowed no circumstances to
throw him off his balance. An anec-
dote told by Rufus Choate to the late
Richard H. Dana, recorded in Mr..
Dana's DIARY" illustrates the callous-
ness which aided Burr SO greatly in
controlling himself Several years after
the death of Hamilton, killed by Burr
in duel, Burr visited Boston, and Mr..
Devereux of Salem paid him some at
tentions. The visitor was taken to the
Boston atheneum, where, while the
two men were walking through the gal
lery of sculpture, Mr.. Devereux hap
pened TO catch sight of a bust Of Ham,
ilton.
The thought flashed across his mind
that Burr might not care to be con-
fronted with the sight Of the features
Of the man he had slain. But no. Burr
was undisturbed He also espied the
bust, and, although Mr.. Devereux had
instinctively turned away, he walked
up to 1t and said in loud tone: "Ah!
Here is Hamilton!" Then, passing his
fingers along certain lines of the face,
he added, There was the poetry
Hamilton's contemporaries gave him
credit for possessing poetic mind.
