try BY abusing and belittng foreigners indeed, he
has no inclination to do so.-and he knows he has
much to learn before he will be absolutely perfect
Dickens might travel from Maine to Southern Cali
fornia today without having his sensibilities
outraged by an exhibition Of too lamboyant patri-
otism; but he would probably find those whom he
met route about willing to scrape acquaintance
with him as they were of yore.
It will always be possible to gauge the democ-
racy of America by the aability and cordiality of
its people, If the time ever comes when we have a
landed arisocracy in this country and when the class
distinctions which to be growing now are rec
oyrized, the feeling of equality will disappear and
the average American will not differ externally from
his more conventional cousin in England.

The financial depression resulting from Mr..
Morgans 'undigested securities may not be Who'll
~ bad thing for the country. It may give people
time to think and indirectly teach them that there
are other things in the world beside money making
that are worth while. New York booksellers say
that the market depression has helped their bust
ness. The New York Times quoting two dealers,
says: "a of dashed enthusiasm in Wall Street
has been observed by both of these gentlemen to be
followed by increased buying of books. People who
have dropped several thousands in the street buy
their friends books rather than other and more re-
spiendent presents. The same people, in the inter
ests of economy soul discipline, resolve to spend
their evenings at home and buy books to read by
their fresides instead of going to the theatre
or to Florida. So, say these two booksellers, the
present season is aptto be good one for the book
trade"

We question the justice Of committing person to

The public finds It more easy to forgive man for

UNTIL few days ago Gus A. Grigsby was en-
ployed by the importing firm of M. L. Barrett & Co.,
of Chicago, at the salary of nine dollars week. His
position responsible one, he under little
supervision and in the of year handled goods
valued at several hundred thousand dollars When he
was arrested last week he had couple hundred dol
lars worth Of vanilla beans his person and con-
fessel to have stolen between twelve and fifteen
thousand dollars worth of stock during the last few
months.
Grigsby deserves sympathy and pity as we'll as
censure, for the firm that employed him lie almost as
culpable as he is. The man that employs clerk
at $3.50 per day and places him in position Of
trust permitting him to handle large quantities OF
goods or money without frequently checking bis
work, is putting premium on crime and doing all
he can to seduce honesty Every business man ought
to think things going wrong until he knows they
are going right, and when he employs clerk to fill
responsible position heought to bewilling to pay
him living wage. The firm of M. l. Barrett & Co.
are largely responsible for this young man sdownfal

ALL intelligent, observant and unprejudiced
Europeans who visit the United States are sur
prised and pleased by the geniaty and sociability
OF Americans. Englishmen in particular never fail
to comment this phase of our character for they
fad nothing to correspond with it in their own coun-
try. The foreigner may find us crude and some-
what untutored according to his old world notions,
but he invariably bears witness to our desire to be
oompanionable and agreeable to strangers and when
he meets American who is inclined to be surly OF
supercious in his bearing he is SO impressed by it
that he usually mentions the occurrence in his in
evitable book of travels
And indeed the American is the most genial OF
mankind. 1t amuses him to talk and he is willing
to be amused by the talk of Others SO when he is on
ths cars has an hour to while away in the hotel
lobby he is more than willing to begue the time by
exchanging views of men and events with his near
est neighbor he is above all things social animal
and being confident of his own worth and taking Il
fer granted that those with whom he comes in con-
tact neither snobs missnthropes he induigea
his social proclivities whenever he can do 60.
The typical american Of today differs az much
from his pzogenitor of fifty pears ago as he doel
from Frenohman. In the first place, he is more
conservative and is not quite 60 sure he knows ali
there Is to know. He possesses as much or more
genuine patriotism his forefather bat he has ont
grown the belief that be should display love Of

WHILE Professor Langley has been diverting
the public mind by his abortive attempts navigate
the air. two young Ohioans have invented constructed
and made successful fight in arship that keeps
aloft without the aid of balloon. Last week they
made trip from town on the North Carolina coast
and travelled three miles against twenty-one mile
breeze, efecting landing without difficulty. Their
machine is said to be modelled after bird, and it's
inventors have it thoroughly under control that
they handle it as easily as Santos Dumont ham

ATTIC at present the nights are long and the
days mere nothings and all self-respectng insects
have gone into winter quarters still preparations for
next seasons war with the mosquito 90 on unceas-
ingly. The mosquito fighters of America are en-
thusiasts and what Mr.. Dooley calls long distance
crusaders Their latest plan is to interest the whole
country in their work and inaugurate united effort
to put the enemy out of business. Every board of
health IN America will be requested to cooperate in
the work of determination next spring
This is something the general public is inter
ested in. for the mosquito is the friend of no man
and if he can be eliminated malaria fever will go with
him-a dual result which is worth working for. But
apropos of the mosquito crusade, what has become
Of the plan to employ musical tone to inict capital
punishment on the pests? It~seemssto have passed
out of mind. When it was FIRST proposed one writer
suggested that it would be we'll to send the "eetle
Cherman bands" into the marshes and let them fgh,
It out with the mosquitoes and for while it looked
as if the boards of health might adopt the plan sug
gested unquestionably met with public approval
It would be pity to drop the idea without giving
lit fair trial.

The universal peace dream of
the car of Russia has been SO
punctured with holes Of all sizes
that there is now not enough of it
left to wad a gun.
In view Of the millions Of pounds
of powder Russia has ordered, it
is time to begin to speculate on
what country Japan will land in
when Russia blows it off the map.
Why is it that cupid never wears
any clothes? Maybe the little fell
low is poor and wants to remind
people of the danger of poverty
that too often Turks behind the
veil of love.
Why is it that in this country,
which is so vast and wealthy, all
the high officials who administer
the affairs of government are so
poorly paid in comparison to the
Isalaries Of ell those who occupy
corresponding positions in other
countries; and why is it that these
salaries are so out of portion with
the salaries of high officials in the
industrial and commercial world
of our own country, in positions
that only demand an equal amount
of ability? A year or 80 ago |
made few comparisons in these
columns of the seemingly unrea-
sonable inequalities of some Of
these salaries and it is not my de-
sire to obtrude rehash of that
matter on the readers at this time,
but cursory glance or allusion
may not be out Of place today.
The Office of any one of the nine
cabinet officials is as important,
requires as much executive ability
and is far..more talked of than any
one of the hundreds of the pres
1idents of the larger industrial and
commercial corporations; and yet
these cabinet officials are paid &c.
600 year while the latter receive
from twenty-five to seventy-five
thousand and in some cases a hun
dred thousand and even much
more than the latter figure. When
