The encore fiend, In deed. lins many praiseworthy traits, and of his usefulness there can be no doubt in fhe mind* of those w^>o will view bin performance dl?pnssionateIy and wt'h an eye to discover the benefactions which flow from his unselfish effort*. for he Is distinctly altruistic In his ntentions. and in the methods by which he carries them Into effect.

TTe is not intent only npon get in g n ful! retnrn for his monev. but he Is bound that all sha'l receive their money's worth also. Moreover, he In forms others by his liberal and energetic apn'ause what i#> worthv of their nppro bation. and. upon the principle that there cannot be too much of a good thing, he insists that they shall hnve as much as nossible of what his superior taste con ceives they should admire.

Whitney, ex-Bec retary of the Navy,: speaks out like a true American on the subject of the Al llanca affair. "It was," says Mr. Whit ney, "done with deliberation and full knowledge of the character of tho act." He continues: No person In command of any war ves sel In the world would be Ignorant that firing upon a merchant vess l of an other power on the high seas In lime of peace would violate the law of nations. There Isn't a subordinate offloer of any man-of-war In tho world who hasn't been sufficiently Instructed to know lhat. It Is therefore a case of willful Insult to the American flag and people. i do not recall so wanton an outrage as hap pening to any first class power In fifty years." An apology scarcely wipes out such an affront. This utterance reflects the sentiments of every patriotic American citizen. The only way that Spain Can break the force o / the wholesale condemnation vlhlted /Upon her phe hae already adopted, nanvw ly, to set up the claim that the Amerl murchantman when signaled liolst' d the KrltlBh flag. Thl? claim is so ridic ulous as to carry with Its own refuta tion. Capt. Crossman well says that no Spanish gunboat would dare fire on the British flag. The. plain InferAfo* Is fhat the American flag does not command the samo respect from foreigners, and this Is a fact which must be admitted to our shame. This Incident furnishes a splendid op portunity for this Government to recover lost prestige by requiring Spain to make a full and ample reparation, and do It at once.
