NJ. Pobedonostseff has been denom-

mistaken belief in and devotion to the

upon the civilization Of the west. De-

Of a draw by inspiring the imperial
master to balance the reform rescript

To intimates who are admitted to
his bedroom NJ. Pobedonostxeff talks
bitterly. He says he has lost hope and
washes his hands Of everything. He
sees only ruin ahead for church and
state. The government, he declares,
has gone mad, and to allow the people
to play with questions Of state az they
would with new toys Is deplorable.
The crisis he attributes to the lack of
strong and commanding statesman,
and he severely blames the Emperor
for his weakness in yielding to the i'm

IT ls sUpERFLUoUs MOSS,
A Warranted British Criticism Of On
Tendency to "Whoop.w

- "Arreuteo 0r1t1om CfttSC1om OF Our
Tendency to "Whoop."
National idiosyncrasies are reflected
not only in serious pursuits, but in ma
tional games. says the Philadelphia
Ledger. Baseball 10 not likely to be-
come an international sport in which
there is any real rivalry, unless the
nations become endowed with Ameri-
can sest in the rapid game. The Lon
don Outlook regrets that Britons and
Americans cannot play baseball on
something like equal terms and comes
to the conclusion that the American
conception Of sport is hopelessly an
tagonistic to the British at every point.
Englishmen take their pleasures rather
tar1y, but the Outlook 10 not alto
gether astray when 1t arraigns the
American ball game a. extensively
noisy. 1t generously admits that base
ball IL "a really fine game" in essence,
but the fielders are allowed Ito yell at
the man with the club in order to rat
tie him." the spectators are permitted
to make "a diabolical din" for the same
reason; the umpire's decisions, instead
Of being submitted to without a MUIR
muir, 40 Englishmen receive a deliver
ance from the lord high chancellor,
are appealed from by a circle of yell
ing, gesticulating forms clad like dcro-
bats"
1t must be confessed that there Is
much force in the arraignment Noise
has become an inseparable incident Of
our national game and 1t may as well
be confessed that public interest in
the sport would lapse at once IL pro-
ceedings were conducted in q perfect
" tranquil, self-composed and ladylike
manner.
Seriously speaking. the outcry Of
our British contemporary against mere
noise as a public grievance deserves
some attention. Noise IL easily mis-
interpreted a. a sign Of vigorous en-
terprise in all lines Of human activity.
There Is a hustle of trade which no
one could suppress. The loudest shout.
er IL not by any means the most &C.
complished and effective orator. The
best work may be done without great
clamor and uproar. Noise is common
" associated with the faker, who COW
ers the pinchbeck quality Of his wares
by stridently proclaiming their virtues.
Much Of the noise Of the city street is
entirely unnecessary and could be- sup
pressed without injury to any material
interest.
A society for the prevention Of din
would hnd q fertile neld for its benefi-
cent ofiices. Some years ago the So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals In Munich issued an order
forbidding the supernuous cracking of
whips. in order to save the nerves Of
horses. Humanity deserves similar
consideration. Happily. the tendency
Of civilization 10 toward the suppress.
sion Of supernuous noise. In the bust
est quarters Of some cities wooden
pavements have been laid to quiet to
some extent the legitimate noise Of
trafac. The "still alarm" IL far more
effective agency for the extinction Of
q dre than the din Of many bells.

man that gave utterance to the pic

Speaking of the diversity of inter
ests represented, the paper went on to
say: 1.-The eastern manufacturing in

in close touch with international COM

sheep breeders from Idaho and the
