Honor to Late Lord Salisbury.

The city Of London is about to honor
the late Lord Salisbury in an altogether
exceptional and unprecedented manner
by placing a large oil portrait OF him
in the Guild Hall. where until now great
figures in English history have only been
commemorated by small busts. The late
marquis, however was regarded with
altogether exceptional good will by the
city Of London. which feels that Il owes
TO him a special debt of gratitude for his
powerful championship of the yenera-
bic corporation when IL was threatened
some time ago with practical extinction
by the Radical scheme for the uniflca-
ton OF the government Of London. /.

The Real Question.

There has been much noisy discus
sion Of what is known as the race

Not the least foolish Of the various
manifestations Of temperament ana
temper which have attended il IS the
absolute ignorance and indifference
displayed by many Of the disputants
as to the real attitude Of the negro.
il might be a good plan for somebody
to make plain what the leaders Of the
negro race IN this country want.
They have been charged with want
ing good many unreasonable things
for which, II must be admitted, they
have never asked. Fantastic demands
conceived by the white man have been
presented as those Of the negro. The
old, worn-out question of ante-bel-

men might have been called on to face
that situation, but as a matter of fact
there Is probably less mixing Of blood
since the war than there was before.
The question Of intemarrage Is not
one which has ever been much agi-
tated by negro leaders. 1t Is social,
and must settle itself.
Negro leaders are asking for equal
rights before the law. They ask not
that q negro criminal shall escape jus
t;ce-and there is the smallest posi-
ole chance that he will-but that he
shall have justice. They ask for edu-
cation, but not for anything beyond
common school privileges. They do
not ask to rule white people, but to
rule their own affairs. Those who
urge that there are no negroes capable
o. doing this may as well remember
that the biggest, most successful anu
most useful negro school in the eoun-
Try was built up by negro, and that
half a dozen other negro schools be
sides Tuskegee have also developed
without white administrators.
We may as well face the fact that
the negro has a right to ask for his
people the same privileges which the
most ignorant and degraded Italian,
Russian, or Bulgarian peasant may
have in this country. We, on our
side. are under no obligation 10 invite
to dinner anyone whom we do not
desire as a guest. Nobody can de
rnand private hospitality on the
ground of equal rights before the law,
and thus far it Is not known that
anybody has. But II Is about time to
contradict the statement that negro
leaders are anarchistic and unreason-
able, and so on, because they ask foI
things which any other born Amer-
can would consider his unquestionabll
rights. 1t may not be possible, owing
t the peculiar complications OF thI
situation, for them to secure those
rights, but at any rate white Ameri-
cans may as well face the situation
fairly, discuss it reasonably, and not
allow themselves TO be scared by bug
aboos. It Is not the honest endeavol
To be fair which has created danger

Clubmen in the Nursery.

Most of the leading London clubs have

against the practice OF permitting the
nomination of candidates while still in

popularity of any club that men should
be so anxious TO preclude the possibility
OF delay in the election of their Of
spring on arriving at the age Of discre-
tion that they place their names on
the can lidates' books in their infancy.
The crowding OF the list Of candidates
with names Of children who can afford
TO wait fifteen and even twenty years
before obtaining membership prevents
many desirable persons Of maturer age
from joining in the competition for cleo
tion. since the names are taken up by
the balloting committee in the order in
which they have been placed on the

MonaTChiCal Customs.
A Foolish Dread of Their Introduction
Here.

A letter appears in the New York
Times" protesting against the escort
Of President Roosevelt by a squad
ron of troopers, and denouneing it as
ala attempt to introduce ''monarchical
customs" in this country. This is
foolish.
There are persons who have a
hysterical fear of what they call the
effete habits of the Old World, and
affect to see in every introduction of
foIm and ceremony into our life q
tendency toward degenerate imitation
OF Europe. This is both illogical and
foolish. 1t Is not necessary to infer
that uniformed attendants at hotels,
in street ears, in public buildings. on
railways, put their uniforms on their
souls, but if they did it might not be
Il, all respects an evil thing. 1t i
good that a man should have pride
IL his work, and if so, he should be
willing TO wear the costume appro-
pirate to the work As for uniforms
on public officials or employees. they
are simply for convenience and suit-
ability. 1t is easier 10 find rail-
way conductor with a gilt band on
his cap than it would be if he dressed
Ike any of the passengers. and If the
baggagemen did not wear badges
every unauthorized person could de-
fraud the inexperienced. In short,
the uniform saves time and trouble,
and from a business point Of view
alone IS worth all it costs.
We need, IN this country, an abso-
lutte devotion TO the principles o.
democracy, and a reasonable discrim-
ination between matters of principle
and matters of mere form. We need
more devotion TO free government of
the sort which respects mans pri-
vate life and a good deal less Of the
freedom which permits offensive IN
reference with that life. We need,
in short, less mob law and more strict
construction of law; more govern
ment by the people and less oppres-
SION by the people; more freedom
for the individual in essential mat
ters and less fuss about individuaHsm

A knowledge of Omar.
This Proves the Danger of a Little
Learning.

This Proves the Danger or Little
Learning.
The Omar Khayyam clubs which
sprang ND like toadstools all over the
country some time ago have had re-
suits far from good IN certain re-
spects. The Persian poet, in truth, Is
not a proper subject for study in
clubs. The delicate. evanescent charm.
Of MS work is destroyed by clubbing.
He should be read in solitude or with
one. or two. or three congenial
frie-C.. One friend is enough.
N2e-tenths of those who thus
studied Omar would have found the
Rubaiyat a dreadful bore If II had
not happened to be a fashionable
study. Hence they failed to appre-
ciate the hidden beauty of the Per
slams melodious reflections. We were
called upon to witness the spectacle
Of a stout, elderly lady, who looked
as il she should have been rolling ont
ginger cookies, declaiming with fer
vor:
Drink. for we know not whence we come, nor
why!
There were caIlow youths also who
put on a world-weary air and ex-
planned:
Myself in youth did eagerly frequent
Doctor and saint. and heard great argument
About II and about-but evermore
Came ont by the same door wherein ! went.
This naturally did not impress
relatives Of the speaker, who knew
that his education had been gained IN
the lower grades Of the high school.
and then IN the lower grades Of the
theater. Also it is absurd for men 10
claim as their motto
Book Of Verses Underneath the Bough
and so forth, when everybody knows
that their idea of a jug Of wine and a
loaf of bread Is pate de foie gras and
champagne.
The life really pictured III these ex-
quisite quatrains by Omar is a kind
OF life which most Of the club folk
would regard as the essence of bore
dom. If any man can say truthfully
that he would like to spend the rest Of
his days in a cabin in the woods, read
ing Shakespeare and living on coffee
and hardtacl, he Is probably Of some
what the same temperament that
Omar was. But if Omar Khayyam
were TO appear in the flesh at one Of
these club discussions in every
great city and most country villages
one may find a relative Of his-the
chances are that his worshipers would
cali the police.
