Are We Coming to Imperialism ?
<?The New York Round Table disacusues
the question?u Are we driftiug into
Imperialism V'?in this strain :
' In plain sooth, the age of sensuality,
of unchecked corruption, of dense, gross
ignorance is coining down on u* likA
ni/ww Kliould llUVC *li\*e'
6...- r ? ? _
more notes of warning than it has; out
the press dislikes, in a free country, t.?
print unpalatable tru'h, even when it
discerns such truth, sud the journals
that profess "fearless devotion to principle"
are notoriously the ones whose
articles betray the uiost laborious solicitude
to catch the applause and flatter
the prejudice of the greatest number.
Meanwhile, at what are culled our "great
centres," coarse brutes, who ouglu to
bo digging railways or drawing hand
carts, lay down the liw for the ivh hCommunity,
and by dint of va*t wealth
amassed under circumstances impossible
in any other civilized country, deg'soie
the social tone and spread in every d:
rection an unbridled rage for pleasures
of the senses. Intellectual elevation or
ambition is scoff d at, and those who
strive to dictate a taste for better thing*
are either hated or despised. Nothing
a? thmioht of hut the delights of the t.i
n
b!e, of fino clothes, of showy <1 wcllin^s
and equipages?in a word, of physical i
raptures of every description. If there
is at preseut anything else?whether in
the pulpit, in theatre, or in literature ?
the pill must de gilded so as to appear
""sensational." All this is so widey
admitted, so shamefully notorious, that
its recital is trite enough; we repeat it
mereiy in elucidation of the subject under
discussion. It is impossibc. when
{people think all things of their bodies
and nothing of their minds, that either
a Democratic or any other pure form of
government can long be maintained ?
Unless a great change comes over Anier
ican people, it will not be maintaim d
by themselves." They arc uslting towaril !
the p ecipice at railway speed, and the
universal co:tuptiuti that good men de
plore, is the prelude of a dceoiuposi'ion
"which is certain fate."
Tfic Fall of thk Female HlondIN.?The
London Shipping and Mer
cantile Gazelle sj>ys:
On Tuesday evening an intensely exciting
aceue wis wituessed at Bolton.
Ij? connection with Mr. Pablo Fariquc's
m circus, with the "Female Blondin" hud j
b-icn uiinounoed for an ou'-door per j
fbrmance. She was to walk alom: a
rope fixed from the third story of the
Old Coronation Mills to the top of t'm ;
eircus, the height of the rope being :
about s;xty feet, and the distance s .uic i
eighty feet. About half-pist seven the
"Female Blondin" cnt"red the Corona j
tion Miih, which arc being pulled down,
*nd ascended the rope. She sauntered
niong it for a few feet with a Iiirlit and
m . '
easy step, but at about fifteen f'e- t from
where she starred ihere w .s a large ugly
knot on the rope several inches long.?
.She essayed to cross it and then turned
'back. In a moment, however resumed
her peril'iu* journey, amid the breathless
anxiety of thousands who stood sixty
feet beneath her. She approached the ;
knot cautiously, crossed it, but just as
her last foot was leaving it she stumbled.
At once she threw her pole to the crowd
ibelow, and wiih a desperate effort she;
grasped the rope. She is *.strong muscular
wouian, and exerted herself greatly I
L
*o regain a position on trie rope, out i
hung suspended by tiie hands. Tiie J
wildest excitement prevailed amongst |
the spectators. There were loud cries ,
of ''lower the rope," which was done,
bat only for a very few feet.. With more
*poed than can be told, a g-rcat number
of men massed themselves together at
the place over which she liung by the
Tope, and begged her to let go and fall.
.She Jid so aud was caught by them,
and although the distance she fell was
almost fifty feet, she sustained no inju
ry beyond the fright and a shake.
The Pit ess and tiie Public.?One |
of the most common, but most absutd !
mistakes which people make now-a-duys,
is in imagining that a community con I
fers upon a newspaper which it supports
an obligation, which can only be can
cello 1 by tho most obsequious compliance
with the whims and differcu -c to j
the opinions of any individual among '
the mass of its readers, who may take
the trouble to favor it with his views,
Modern journalism, like its sister insti. ;
. tutions?the postal system and the telegraph?gives
to the public advantages
out of all proportion to the money value
at which they are rated; and the
man who buys a good newspaper, avai Is '
himself of a privilege, the exfrao dina i
ry cheapness of which he can har lly !
.appreciate beeiu^e of its habitual enjoy- j
ment. Tlio advertiser, likewi-e, who |
lr r? c r? Kic Itii^iunca flte.n r 1. rl.?? '
columns of a journal circulating widely
among all classes, tuglit to tiii.l?*r-tu?nJ
tliat he thereby secures the richest p s-'
bible return for the trifling su u lie may j
invested. In b>th cases, the cus ;
touier gets his full money's worth tuniy 1
times multiplied ; ami the assumption
that there is any obligation whatever
iu either is simply preposterous. 'I ho
terras "patron" and "patronage" as applied
to the readers and business of u
newspaper, are still used by some court- j
try editors ; but havo long since been I
repudiated by all journalists who are
mindful of the true position auil dignity
of their calling.? Charleston Ntuu.
