Other People's Business.
AS TIIR Venezuelan foe; ulcus
it becomes plain thai tho
pi oat obstacle to a peaceful
Settlement In the flrit In
stance of the uialtr-ia in dispute wub
the us-scHion by Castro's Roveniment
of il.v ndliorcncf to the Calvo doctrine.
In cifecL this Uoetilne say that a Cler
man, for example, who elects to live
and do business in Venezuela, must,
upon onterintf, bid larcwcll to his na
tionality and expect no consideration
by reason of it, no matter how out
rageously he may Mibsoqucntly be
treated by (ho Venezuelan authorities.
If a revolution breaks nut during the
period of his hojouni and his property
is aoled or destioyed, the Calvo doe
ltine forbids his enlisting the aid of
liis home government in the attempt
to .secure justice and leaves him wholly
at the mercy of the dictator who hap
pen temporal ily to be on top. And it
yeeks to stop the intervention of the
foreigner's government by holding that
what happens to him is none of its
business;.
This piinciple in almost .so many
wowls was illiectly asset tud by Vene
zuela jttsi pilot- to the withdrawal of
the UiitMi and Ciennan lepresenta
thes. It provoked the ultimatums of
thebo two governments and undoubt
edly was the chief motive for the dis
play by Knglind and Ooimany of na
val foi re. fco l.u .us the claims cham
pioned by tho.se countries aio eon
I'Lincd, their amount is not a f taction
fit the cot of the methods by which
their enfotced ptyment lias been at
tempted, but a piinciple of internation-
law wjis involved which made neees-
aty the assertion of English and fler-
authority. For, if the Calvo doc-
ne weic to be admitted by default in
casp of Venezuela, it could not bo
ted in the other countilcs of South
etica and there vould be the curi
anonntly of one kind ot internation
Uw for the American hemisphere
a wholly dlfterent kind lor the Ett-
opean.
The Calvu docttine must go. It Is
fundamentally vicious. "We knocked
the props irom under it when we inter
vened in Cuba, disregarding the argu
ment of Spain tint what went on in
Spanish territory was none ot our
business. AVe established then that it
was some of our business, so much so
that when wo got through Spain wus
out of business und a new ltpublic was
in business, under bonds to behave.
This lesson mutt be impressed on
South Amotion. Xo nation lives for
and to itself alone. None can build an
arbitrary wall about itself and say that
within that wall it will do as it shall
please, regardless of the world at laige.
Just as the householder nest door must

TIIKIIE was recently concluded
in England a dlvotre tilal
between two titled peison
agos who, with their family
connections and tespectlve circles of
friends and champions, leptesenled u
largo percentage of what may Tor con
venience sake be called the Hilttpli no
bility. Almost all of the testimony at
the dial was unlit to print but the
Impression which it left upon the mind,
viewing It in the most c hat Ituble light,
wiih that thole Is in England a Ktigo
number of persons in the upper circles
of llfo who lmo lnllen Into evil ways
less thtougli lnheient vlclousness than
because they have nothing else to do.
Tlio men, 'it was shown, hunted ioes,
gambled and pursued other men'H
wives. The women gambled, hunted
foxes and lllrtod with other women's
liusbuuds. The lcsult was a condition
of .society that made the Ten Com
nitindttients look lonesome.
It -would be untitle to bay that this
State of things Is typical of luitish
bocloty. It is typical only of a certain
fraction of llritlsh society, the idle frac
tion. But by way of contrast it is
pleasing to read in the London Times
that the most significant tact impressed
upon its s-pecial correspondent who ac
companied the Mosely commlslon dur
ing its study or Amoiican Industry was
the incessant personal attention given
by the Aineilcui manufacturer to his
factory and processes and the exaction
of similar attention fiotn subordinates
who occupy places of control. 'The
Times couespondent found few idleis
in Ameiica. Even the sons of million
alios weie wotklng ami the mle among
the majority of them was that they
must set an example of Induslty to
those associated with them in entei
prlses of business. America, remarks
the Times, has not yet learned to le
gaid Idleness or devotion to lrlvolous
amusements as a mailc of (-ncl.il dis
tinction, and we may well hope that
she never will.
Thote wats at one time an appear
ance of danger that our .social Hie
might Icain to put a piciiiium on idle
ness and thereby dtift inlo vice. Hut
we have been saved temporarily by the
wondeilul wave of material ptospeilty
which has made eveiy man eager to
make a harvest while the sun shines.
Our war with Spain, too, and tho conse
quences How lug from It have done much
to re-invigorate tlio cm tents of young
American blood, causing even the anae
mic pulses of our gilded youth to leap
faster and circulate more led cotptts
cles. To what degiee the sttenuous-nc-s
of our Hough Jlidcr picsldent has
contributed to setting a pace among
young men to the put pic boin can only
bo conjectmed, but without question
he has been a tonic force of no small
value. And while our social life is not
fiee from scandal It can ttutlifully bo
said that the small circle which in this
counliy apes the manners and the
woithlessness of the gaming and adul
teious nobility of Europe Is in no sense
repiesentatlvo but ,on. the contrary is
to exceptional and unnatural its to
dtaw upon itself general ridicule and
censure even trom the latgo majority
of these Ameiicans eligible by birth
und wealth to a. place In its "helect"
ranks.

Church Attendance.
THE rALLIN'tt off in attend
ance on divine worship
among Ptolestant Cluistlnns
has been so fiequently us
(.oitcU .is to have gained acceptance by
many without question. Many clergy
men accept and bemoa.i It and the to
llglous press ftom tlmo to tlmo has in
It learned dl3ou?son3 of the pioblem
how to got people to go to chinch.
Tor otnsolves we tuo not piep.tied to
cxpiess any opinion as to whether or
not thcte has been actually a decline In
chinch attendance, meie opinion with
out evidence rallying lltllo weight. Hut
our attentlun has been called to a let
ter lecoiitly pilnitd in the New Voik
Sun, which sheds sonw light upon thn
question, at lenbt so far as New Yotk
city Is concerned. The wtlter, an old
lefldent of that city, made a careful
petsonal study, cliutcit by chinch, cov
eting a period of twelve mouths. Wo
need not icpoat tho detulls which ho
enuinerateb, for his conclusion will suf
fice. ,It Is that tho aveiago chmch at
tendance Is botttr than It used to bo
twenty or thitty yeats ago, ami that
what gives Use to the opposite belief
is the fact that tluuo niu so many moro
ehuiches nowadays that the attendance
Is gieatly divided. Delving back Into
the icllglous lltcruime of three decades
ago, tho Sun couespondent found thnt
the decline of chinch attendance was
Just as solonmly uillrmcd and Just as
higubrlously legaidcd then as It Is to
day, Thin Is his summing up;
"Things mo undoubtedly better tltun
they were thitty years ago; but there s
a manifest danger In tho present day.
So many leaders In thr chinch tiy to
multo religion popular, In bpltq of tho
dellnlte teachings of their divine inns
ter regaidlng tho dllfereuco which must
always exist between the woilrt und the
church. Bishop nurgess, thu gifted
bishop of Long Isltnd, icctntly spoke of
this In a sermon In St. Paul's chnpel,
New York, when ho presented (In u
way which ultnost piovoked tho risibil
ity of his hearers) tho absurd efforts
which are being made to organize the
churches of Christ on tho Hues of a
social club. A gymnasium, a ptoplo'K
concert, a chuich fair, public baths, and
even a theatre In the basement of a
chuich, arc among the many expedi
ents fofvdrawlng (icoplo to Christianity.
The New Ttctnmciil presented the Sa
viour lifted up, the attractions of the
Ores, as tlio only legitimate means of
lining a church. In other winds, there
Is a danger of tho model n church pn
levelling those bntrlora which popnrato
'the world ftom tho church that In the
course of tllne people will sec llltlo or
no dlft'erettco between a sacred concert

Obesrvatlon rertatnly confirms the
conclusion that eccentric pi caching
with vaudeville tilmmlngs docs not per
manently l ecru It the ranks of tho re
deemed. It may lilt the contribution
boxes for a tlmo nnd secure widespread
advertising In tho yellow journals but
fundamentally what mankind wants
and needs Is the old-rashloncd story of

Accoidlng lo one Sidney Klein, as
set forth In the Jewish Chronicle, far
in the interior of "Western Australia
dwells a ttibe of black men who ob
serve tlio Jewish Sabbath, disdain the
flesh of swine and practice religious
obseivatices lttdely similar to those
outlined lit the Old Testament, the ln
feionee being that they are remnants
of one of the lost tribes of Israel.
Klein claims to have made this dlscov
eiy while exploring. The public will
bo glad to receive further pioof.
The New Yoik Times pays high com
pliment to the moderation, sobriety and
circumspection with which the Ameri
can pies as a whole tieated the recent
ctlsls over Venezuela, and the compli
ment is descived. Cut the pi ess has
simply loflected public opinion. The
fact is that expansion has sobered .pur

ABMXEAXi OERVERA.
From tho New York Tribune
Tho Intelligence) that Admlial Ccrvera
boa been appointed chief of staff of the
Spuntsh navy will ciuso a sincere feeling
ot gratlllcatlou thiouglioitt tho United
States, Ordinarily a similar promotion
in the mllltniy servlca of a foreign coun
tiy In tlmo of neaco excites only a lau
guld Interest elsewhere, oxecnt. perhaps.
In professional circles; but the caso of
Admiral Genera is peculiar. Wo feel
suto that ho Is still regarded in this
country with a sympathetic Interest, to
wlilcu lio la well entitled, not merely In
remembranco of tho tiagedy In which ha
piuyea an honorable tliouirh a molan
choly part, but also because ho Inrge'y
contilbuted to a restoration of amicable
relations between Spain and the United
States, or rather, perhaps, of a recipro
cal good reeling which facilitated jrovern
mental negotiations between tho two
countries, and will, wo hopo, make their
olDctal Intercourse permanently ugrce-
auie.
In his desperate exit under orders from
tho harbor of Santiago, aboard tho Infer
ior vessel to which ho had transferred
his ling with full knowledgo that ho was
sacrificing somo chances of personal es
cape, Admiral Cervcra was: so iratlant a
figure, and his demeanor In the hour of
litter defeat was so flni that every
American was immediately conscious of
inctcnscd respect for tlio raco to which
ho belonged. If that had been all It
might havo been enough to produco a
favorable effect upon tho subsequent
course or events. mt tnat was only tho
beginning of tho servlco which ho ren
dered. As a prisoner of war ho was so
free from bitterness of spirit, so appre
ciative of every courtesy which ho re
ceived, and so modest nnd sano when ho
found himself tho object of a suddon ad
mhatlQu which did not Invariably express
Itself hr-judlclous ways, thnt he may bo
said to liuvo been tho means of recreat
ing an atmosphere of international kind
liness in which ancient sentiments of
lrlundshtp were soon revived.
If, thoiefore, aB wo bclievo the fact to
be, few icsentmcuts survlvo among a
high-spirited people after a war of con
quest, and a better understanding exists
between Spain and tho United StatoH
than had prevailed for many years before
tho outbreak of hostilities. Admiral Cor
vera must bo lccognlzed as an influential
factor In tho establishment of those
happy relations, and there is sure to bo
much satisfaction hero, where hn is popu
lnily esteemed, at tho announcement that
ho has been olllelally distinguished in his
own country.
