was because of Wyse's enterprise and ehthu-

TIE LOG OF THE R4NGER.

The finding of the log of the Ranger, as
suming il to be authentic, is an achievement Of
exceptional interest from the personal, the
patriotic and the historical point of view. The
career and even the character of the first great
captain of the American navy are so yelled in
mystery and romance and have been so much
the subject of controversy that anything shed
ding authoritative light upon them would be
welcomed, and of course there few things
which could do so more effectively than the
daily record of the first really notable vessel
which commanded by him. This addi-
tiOnal and great interest is attached to the
Ranger, that it was the first ship to carry the
American fag-the Stars and Stripes-to
European port and to secure for 1t there
lutte as the recognized flag of a maritime power.
Jones's first command was the brig Provi-
dence, with which he did chiefly transport and
convoy work along our middle Atlantic Coast
though he made one highly successful cruise as
far as Cape Canso. taking or destroying fifteen
British vessels. Next he had the Alfred, of
twenty-four guns. and took seven prizes into
port in cruise Lambert Wckes was doubt
less the first to take an American ship into
European waters In the fall of 1776, and in
the spring Of the next year he did great execu-
tion in two cruises around Ireland; and in such
doings he was followed by Gustavus COnnyng
ham and others. These carried the Rattle
snake flag, the Stars and Stripes not yet hav-
Ing been adopted On May 9. 1777 Jones was
commissioned by Congress to command the
Amphitrite a cruise to Europe, but he was
later transferred to the Ranger of eighteen
guns, and sailed with her from Portsmouth,
y. H, on November 1, bearing the Stars and
Stripes. He arrived at Nantes on December 2,
having taken two prizes on the way. Thence
he went TO Quiberon Bay, and on December II
and 10 secured for the flag its first foreign

The next spring Jones went with the Ranger
to British waters, menaced Dublin and other
places, landed at Whiteha7en and burned the

CULTURE WITH And WITHOUT WORK.

CULTURE WITH And WITHOUT WORK.
Chancellor NIacCracken obviously had not read
Dr. EIots lust published list of books part OF
his five-foot shelf. he would not have re
marked:
The college IS wounded in the house of It's
friends when former President Eliot, advertising
over his autograph his "five-foot shelf OF books
allows himself to say: The faithful and con-
siderate reading of these books will give any
man the essentials of a liberal education II
he is right, why maintain college at HaTvarI Ni
merely to give the non-essentlals OF d !oeIai
education?
The Chancellor means to ask why. if it is SO
easy to become literally educated any one should
90 to college. But what hesitant youth read
ing the formidable titles in the Harvard edu-
GATORS list will think the task an easy one:
Here is only the first part Of DR.. EllotS hFe-
foot shelf say. yard of culture, and you are
asked to read, reread and memorize portions or
such works as the Journal of John Woolman'
Fruits of Solitude" by William Penn; The
Golden Sayings of Epictetus.' Governor
Hughes's midnight companion; The Medita-
tions of Marcus Aurelius,' and Adam Smiths
Wealth of Nations" not 10 mention others as
laborous and forbidding.
Far from being wounded In the house of its
friends the college Is magnifed by this list, II
q young man may reside there, giving his time
to athletics and 10 clubs and Yet emerge ltber-
ally educated, the equal of the man who has
read, reread and memorized Milton, Dante
Adam Smith. Darwin. Plato. Marcus Aurel.uS
and the rest on DR.. Eliot's ive-fcot shelf, then
there surely is something in q college atmos-
phere infinitely profitable 70 the youth Who
breathes 1t.
Dr. Eliot has not cheapened the college Hho
would not prefer TO acquire culture by playing
football rather than by reading Adam SmirhE
In college a liberal education is got painltS~L;
no one studies SO the great educators agree
but look al the Iabors that face him who would
be educated outside its comfortable purlieus.
Can il be that Or Lowelrs and Or, Wilson's re-
marks about tho magnificent leisure Of under
graduates and Dr.. Eliot's fiye-foot task for an
intellectual Hercules were timed with view 70

The Pennsylvania Republican State Conven-
ton. which met at Harrisburg on Wednesday
adopted a discreet and diplomatic resolution
commenting the tariff revision now in progress
The resolution said:
The position taken by the Republican Senators
and Representatives from Pennsylvania and their
intelligent energetic and effective work in the task
of revising the tariff meet our most cordial appro-
baton
This covers all with equal praise. the Repre-
sentatives who supported the House draft and
the Senators who have CO-operated with the
Finance Committee in remaking the House draft
more in the image of the DingIey law. The con-
vention wisely recognized that Republican diff
ferences as to tariff rates are over matters of
detail, and not over principles

It is not at all surprising that the socialists
of France are now directing their attacks chiefly
against the army. seeing how often and how
