What does the man mean by 'thatt What cereal does this country not grow in ' quantities that would simply daze the European hus bandman, and as for vines, he certainly never heard of California. - Passing to the population, he is even more amasing. "Whence," he asks, "comes the undeniable energy so '' characteristics of the people of the United States?" The foreigner, he answers. The native American stock would not surpass the world in energy, if the immigrant from the world surpassed didn't come here and energize us. This theory is not only original but coruscates with genius. Our women are running us by leaps and bounds, i They rule by force, not tenderness. "There is probably little exaggeration in saying that the burthen of latent contempt heaped by the gentry in England upon the middle class, is in Amer ica heaped by women upon man. In both cases we meet with the same passive acceptance, the same absence of all spirit of revolt." Our men are sensation-ridden and unstable; with out a well-balanced emotional life; lacking in com pleteness and, with the exception of high-strung New Englanders, of poorly developed individuality. But in spite of all we may be saved. The Monroe doctrine may embroil us in a war with all Europe from which we may emerge sobered, chastened, en lightened by contact even at 2000 years with genuine civilization, and become a real nation. Hoch der herr Doctor Reich 1 Seattle P.-I. the voice of the protest of the workingmen, and pro ceeded next morning to edit it with all the vigor at their command. It is quite likely, therefore, that the effect of the meeting will be to materially weaken the prestige of the government among the workingmen of London and indeed throughout the kingdom. It is a formidable issue for the ministry to meet, inasmuch as it enables the opposition to appeal to such varied and potent sentiments as race prejudice against Chi nese, the antagonism felt by large numbers of peoph to the schemes of the big mineowners of the Rand, and the high sentiment of indignation that exixts among all classes against anything that even looks like a revival of slavery. S. F. Call. ' A recent cartoon in the OregoniaA depicting the southern voter as a gross individual, roughly clad in long coat and huge sombrero, his face disfigured by a barbarous mustach and a whisky bottle conspicu ously protruding from a pocket, is about as true to life as a howling redskin would be typical of Oregon ians. In point of fact the southern states are peopled by the most genteel and virtuous class of citizens that the United States can produce, and the tendency of the northern press to exaggerate their defects and to ignore their characteristically fin bearing will cer tainly not tend to produce that harmony so essential to good government. THE HYDE PARK PROTEST. London newspapers giving detailed reports of the recent mass meeting held in Hyde Park to protest against opening South Africa to Chinese labor show that the occasion was one of much more importance than appeared from the brief accounts given in the cable dispatches. The day was by no means pleasant for such a gathering, being cold and misty, but nouv. the less, according to estimates of the Westminster Gazette, upward of 50,000 workingmen marched in procession to the park from various quarters, while thousands of others join them there, so that when the bugle calls for order sounded fully 80.000 peeph were gathered around the 14 platforms from which, addresses were to be made and resolations moved. Among the notable features of the demonstration : were the sentiments emblazoned upon the numerous Fire came in such awful shape at St. Vincent's hos pital, Indianapolis, that even a description of its work is almost unbearable. Among many third and fourth story patients an unusual number had re cently undergone surgical operations. One unfor tunate, just operated on for appendicitis, ran down four flights of stairs to the street. For the perfection of modern hospitals it might be suggested that the more helpless be housed on the ground floor. King Edward has given something more than a hint to the English court set that he wants them to pay their debts. If this keeps up it will not be worth while to belong to the nobility. Ambassador Porter is far from enthusiastic over the proposition to name him as the republican candi date for governor of New York. He is not ambitious to star in the role of a sacrifice. An earthquake has just been experienced at Pa pcete, Tahiti, which shook all the books out of the shelves. It is well that false teeth are not fashionable with the natives of that place. Mormons in the state of Washington declare that the cost of living is an effectual bar to polygamy. We have been confident all along that the beef trust would finally discover a defense. .
