' ' One of ibe peculiar ' things that strikes tbe mind of the average no- paper reader, who WatAea the foreign new, the letters, and dispatches from Europe in particular, k this that pretty near all tbe American corres pondents in London are rank Tories, and those in Paris are the freind and advocates of the persecuting, amti- religious politic of the French po litical leaders. 'Why k tbkf Why do 'American newspaper men, presum ably democrats in the broad, not the the limited partisan eense after a brief residence in ttbe 'English capital All their dispatches with sneers at the British Liberal leaders, misiitfoTtnav taon concerning Liberal measures, abuse of Irish home rule, and defama tion of all the politics that the normal American, trained in an American atmosphere and educated in American ideas, would naturally sympathize with f Can it be attributed to tbe so. eial influence exerted there, to the back-stairs influence, to color Ameri- an opinion f Ohamheriain, tbe New fork Sun correspondent, k a very able man and an American who haa in a way huilt np a peculiar social position, and whose howe is a center for all manner of celebrities. lions, ind freaks, has become aa sturdy a "ory as the notorious Squire SmaHey, ta the Tribune, used to he. We won- ier often if hk Troyiam u the price tnd the recognition of the nobHity ind gentry T Education and ability -tekfom prevent a snob from showing vis snobbery whe noccasion demands it, or the distaff of half the family needs it. The Persian correspondents are sel dom French; they are sometimes British and occasionally American, but their 'correspondence all bear tbe peculiar coloring of those French po litical ideas and views, which in thk aountry are exploited by Emma Gold aian and those who -dignify the aboii-' tion of the law, order, religion, mar riage, morals, and trifles of that sort as freedom and progress. It would be a rather refreshing nov elty to get in the foreign dispatches chance to read the other aide of these questions, to see an expreesaion of the views of the peopl in England and France who believe in progress, liberty, humanky, reform in social and economic matters, the abolition of medievalism in government, and tbe things Americanism appears to represent, reforms possible aa our ex perience has shown without destroy ing churches, (tanning religion, and persecuting ministers and pricsst. We wonder if some ay the editorial giants of tbe newspapers of our great cities well try and give the news of Europe to their patrons and out out the poison and misinformation they have aueh a predilection for dktribnting. We have an idea it might he made profitable;' there are t times when newspaper read ers like to get the news plus ibe troth, and at any rate, the experiment of clipping wings and regulating the im agination of European correspondents might be worth trying.
