The American TheOyU.

An English tourist is quoted as be-
ing Mortified at the cond ton Of the
working classes in this country. not
because they are badly OFF. but be-
cause he thought that in many towns
they looked too happy and prosper
Gus. lie said that in one factory in the
State Of Ohio the men and women
employed had a theater attached To
the factory. in which lectures were
given at night, and that they had a
reading room filled with books
which, Of course, no workingman
would understand He thought that
this pamperina OF the lower classes
in America could lead to serious
difficulties"
Such a notion is not entirely new
in our country, though Il is not al
ways expressed with the frankness
used by the traveller in question. One
often hears comments which hint at
the belief that the working classes
are treated too well, and that they
ought never to complain so long as
they have enough to eat and a place
TO sleep But that theory is not re-
sDonsible for the progress OF this
country, and it has been responsible
in other countries for a good deal
more serious difficulties than any thar
are likely to arise here and now.
Without something TO arouse his
ambition man, in the course OF. sew
eral generations, is apt to become a
brute. The quickest way Of arousing
his ambition is to keep him in touch
with what goes on in the world. and
this is best done, in this age, through
books and newspapers.
In past centuries the countries
in which the people had the habit of
listening 10 open-air speeches, or were
organized in guilds or societies. or
engaged in some form Of commerce.
have advanced in civilization most
rapidly. The printing press, in our
day, takes the place Of these differ
ent methods Of uniting various classes
and sorts Of mankind, and the man
shut of from its influence is likely To
retrograde. II is for this reason
primarily that universal education

Judging solely by reviews of the latter
story, one would suppose that it would
have been much better for Sousa to have
stuck to his last and continued to write
and .play-tuneful marches and two-steps
and not have wandered into the tempting
fields of literature This is the day when
all men write books, but, paradoxicaI as
it may appear it is only now and then
that book is written.
''The Leopards Spots,, by the Rev.
Thomas Dixon, is a story that is bound
to receive attention by the public and
has been already called startling and un-
usual by critics. It concerns the color
question which seem to be, for no par
ticular reason, peculiarly apropos just
row, but it is written from the point of
view of the Southern man, and the un-
reconstructed Southerper at that. We
have had a food of books by negroes
and their apologists, in which the South
ern. white man was painted in no
gracious light, but we have had up to
now no clear exposition of the position
and reasons of the Southern people for
their uncompromising stand against the
social equality of the negro either in the
South or anywhere else. This Mr.. Dixon
attempts to do. Whatever may be the
opinions of the readers of this powerful
story, it cannot be denied that the author
has expressed himself in forceful and
clear language.

In addition to the foregoing, the French

gate to represent the ministry of public
/ instruction and the minister M. Lev
gues, has chosen M Alfred Croisset, dean
oe the faculty of Laters, who is regarded
as one of the finest orators and writers

A noteworthy feature of the dispatch

played in the unveiling by President Lou
bet, who, in the consideration of the mat
ter with M. Delcasse, manifested an
earnest desire that the French repre-
sentatien should be fully worthy of the
occasion.
In order TO invest the mission with

conveyed to the United States on the bat
tleship Gaulois, which will sail from
