Jft 807. THE DAILY RECORD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1908. 3 DRESDEN An ingenious note on the English character is contributed to the International Journal of Ethies by Mr. George Unwin. It was suggested to him by the lack of eulogy in the German Press on the occasion of Mr. Gladstone’s death. The Zukunft pronounced him a quack and a hypocrite. Mr. Unwin says that the central feature of the English character, as seen by the intelligent foreigner, is hypocrisy. Why? He says it cannot be by mere accident that the works of Thackeray, Dickens, and George Eliot are so full of hypocrites. Mr. Glad stone and Oliver. Cromwell, two of the greatest of Englishmen, two typical Englishmen, were both men of action, both essentially religious, and both have been regarded as hypocrites. This is Mr. Unwin’s solution of the problem which he raises:— It is harder to connect Mr. Gladstone’s theology with his budgets than it is to conceive how the Lord General wrestled in prayer before he dis missed the Rump. Nevertheless, the art of living the great life lies in keeping up this connection; not by logic—that is impossible—but by faith—by the confidence acquired in long practice. So, too, by continuous practice is acquired the power to connect an ever-lengthening chain of subtle moral perceptions. And the peculiarity of the English character is that it is based on a much longer con tinuous practice than that of any other people. It has thus acquired the psychological dexterity by which the power of a distant ideal is brought to bear through hidden, subtle, and devious channels on the affairs of daily life. To the outsider—the unfriendly and unsympathetic critic—the obvious incongruity of our professed aims with our practice presents itself as sheer hypocrisy. Into hypocrisy indeed it may all too easily slide. For the conditions I have described, while they render possible a great elevation of character, bring with them the risk of a dis astrous fall. The great word with the Germans is “Foresight”; you rarely see a German go out without his over coat. With foresight you may go safely but not far; and Germany is the land of moral mediocrity. The basis of English morality is Insight. With in sight you may go far and do great things; but you must walk by faith. England therefore is the land of moral extremes. “For if the light which is within you be darkness, how great is that darkness.” * The guards in the city today are furnished by the Infantry Regiment No. 177.

Abi Melech, satrap of Gaza, derides the captive Israelites, till in fury, led on by Samson, they kill him and rout the Philistines. The rejoicing Israelites are welcomed on their return, even by Dalila, the Philistine maid, who once before had ensnared Samson by her beauity. Angry at his having deserted her she promises the High Priest of Dagon to put Samson into his hands. Samson comes to her, and though at first obdurate, finally reveals the secret of his strength and Dalila cuts off his hair, and the Philistines easily overpower him. He is blinded and imprisoned and finally, led away to a banquet of the Philistines, where Dalila mocks and derides him'. Clasping the pillars of the hall, he invokes the God of Israel, who gives him strength, and he tears down the pillars, burying the Philistines with himself in the ruins of the Hall.

WIDESPREAD DISTRESS IN NEW YORK. (From our own correspondent.) The economic crisis prevailing in America is re flected in New York by the unusually large number of persons who every evening repair to the muni cipal asylum for the homeless, which is nightly filled to overflowing. Many persons pass the night in the open air in the parks, if the weather in any way permits of it. Last week there were several cold and wet nights. A larger number of homeless individuals than ever before thronged at an early hour to the asylum. But as every place in the building was occupied and the management did not wish to turn away any of the homeless women, they quickly determined to prepare beds for 200 per sons in the municipal mortuary, whither all un identified corpses are brought. The homeless ac cordingly passed the night amid the corpses. RECORD COKE OUTPUT. (From our New York correspondent.) According to an official report, in the year 1907 mo less than 40,779,564 tons of coke, to a value of 111,539,126 dollars, were produced in the United States, a total which puts all former records in the shade. It is nearly twice as large as the output in 1900, and twice as great as that in 1897. The increase as against 1906 amounts to 4,378,347 tons. MORE ELECTION PYROTECHNICS. “Let President Roosevelt give us rest,” said an editorial in an influential New York Republican newspaper on Friday last, and tens of thousands of worthy Republicans of the rank and file have been saying the same thing for days past. But no sign of peace is given from the White House, whence the Chief Magistrate of the Republic continues to fulminate against his political adversaries with what one of them has described as “a vehemence and lack of dignity and self-control almost without pre cedent in the history of American party strife.” The newspapers give blazing prominence to a long and strongly worded rejoinder by Mr. Roosevelt to Mr. Bryan’s indictment of the present Administra tion. Presumably Mr. Bryan will in due course publish a reply to this rejoinder, and to all appear ance the fierce shrill controversy will go on until the eve of the Presidential election. What the re spective party advantages will be from the Presi dent’s personal intervention in the fray, says a contemporary’s New York correspondent, it is at present impossible to forecast. Mr. Perry Belmont, a prominent business man, and respected Democratic leader in New York State, declares that there is not the slightest doubt that the President’s action has greatly increased Mr. Bryan's chances of election. Mr. Belmont draws attention to certain novel methods of political con troversy recently introduced here, and suggests that their authors ought to be prosecuted at law. There is indeed a good deal of talk about the law on all sides just now. Governor Haskell has announced that he will bring actions for libel against President Roosevelt, several members of his Cabinet, three Wall-street brokers, and, of course, Mr. Hearst. Mr. Bryan is said to have taken the preliminary steps for a similar action against a leading Chicago news paper, and Mr. Hearst has promised to set the cri minal law in motion against quite a distinguished crowd of so-called “grafters.” It is not likely that anything will be heard of these actions after the Presidential election. They usually form part of the political game. It must be confessed that dur ing this election campaign a good deal more has been heard of the majesty of the law than usual, but that has not prevented the law from being flouted on all sides. _______ The London Times publishes the text of the letters which Mr. Hearst has read to an astounded public. Nothing more damning could be imagined. All are brief and, as indication of their tenor, it is sufficient to quote the first. It was addressed to Senator Foraker by Mr. Archbold, of the Standard Oil Company, in March, 1900, and contains but one sentence, which is as follows, “In accordance with our understanding, now beg to enclose you certifi cate of deposit in your favour for $15,000.” That is all, but it is quite enough to explain the un animity with which the American Press regards Senator Foraker’s career as at an end. Mr. Foraker can only maintain that after he entered the Govern ment he oeased to be a paid servant of the Standard Oil Trust. It is, says the Globe, an interesting (Continued on page 4.)
