pit, and platform, of the conclusions reached here and there by the philosophical observers who look for something deeper than surface indications, we are constrained to admit that while intellectually all is far from well with us as a people, it is still upon the moral side that we are most in need of wise counsels and a quickening discipline. We need both a Renan and an Arnold to spur us to a realization of our faults; but, of the two, we are in the more need of a Renan.

To all serious Americans, whose patriotism is too deep an emotion to find expression in bluster, to whom the sacred name of country -how our language needs such a word as patrie!-means little unless it stands for sobriety, and true dignity, and a passion for justice, in a word, for virtue in the highest significance of that term, the political occurrences of the last two weeks must have been inexpressibly disheartening. That so monstrous a thing as a war with England about the disputed boundary line of a South American state should even have been hinted at by irresponsible politicians and journalists was sufficiently discouraging; that it should have received the sanction implied by the recent message of the President and its reception by the national Legislature, and that the popular response to these official acts should have been what it has been, is saddening in a degree for which it is difficult to find adequate words. Above all, the new attitude so suddenly assumed by the President is cause for profound sorrow. That the man whose public career has so often won the admiration of the judicious should have become the aggressive leader of the reckless and the unthinking, that the man who has stood so steadfastly for the higher morality of political action should have ranged himself among the advocates of the lower morality of opportunism, that the man whom we have loved most for the enemies he has made, whom we thought could be trusted to stand like a rock in the defence of a nobler Americanism than is dreamed of in the blatant philosophy of the demagogue, that this man of all men should place himself shoulder to shoulder with the Lodges and the Chandlers and the Morgans, and join with them in the insensate jingoism which is their chief political stock in trade, is a shock from which the sober-minded will not soon recover. verdict of history will, we trust, deal kindly with President Cleveland on account of the downright manliness with which he has so frequently put the politicians to shame; but it

The

cannot condone this act of concession to the men who have brought our country into such disrepute, and once more pointed the famous Johnsonian definition of the patriot. Were there a new Whittier among us, he would be justified in writing a new "Ichabod "; were a new Lowell to arise, he might fairly employ the quaint phraseology of "Hosea Biglow" to satirize the bellicose spirit that has just received so new and unfortunate an impulse.

The field of THE DIAL is not that of political discussion (except incidentally, in reviewing books upon political subjects), and we leave to authorities upon constitutional history and international law the easy task of showing that the Monroe Doctrine is not a part of the law of nations, and that the Cleveland Doctrine is not the Monroe Doctrine. But we feel it our duty, as an organ of serious thought, to protest against the spirit of recklessness that has taken possession of the public mind in dealing with these grave matters, against the false conception of national dignity that seems generally prevalent, against the popular intolerance accorded by the American Demos to any expression of opinion not in agreement with its prejudices of the moment. We appeal to the intellectual sanity and sober second-thought of our readers to aid in stemming the tide of misapprehension concerning our national rights and duties in relation to other countries. We urge upon every clear-headed observer, upon every student of political science, whether lay or professional, to express himself with no uncertain utterance upon this vastly-important subject. Every university professor, every member of the literary fraternity, every newspaper not abandoned to sensationalism, every preacher who can get away from his theology, every influential citizen of every community, should exert his influence in a way that, even though immediate danger be past, will aid in correcting public sentiment and in preventing the recurrence of a popular furor so opposed to the peace and dignity of our country and to the welfare of the world. It is easier, doubtless, to swim with the current of the emotional politics of the hour, or to stand aloof with a cynical disregard of the vagaries of popular sentiment; but neither attitude is worthy of the high-minded American, and neither is possible to one having a full consciousness of what it means to be a citizen of the Republic whose mission is more deeply significant for the future hopes of mankind than that of any other nation known to history.

THE BRITISH AUTHORS' APPEAL.

[ocr errors]

On the day before Christmas there was printed in the London papers an address from British authors to their American brethren, pleading for a union of effort in behalf of peace between the two countries. The appeal was signed, it is stated, by thirteen hundred names -including those of Sir Walter Besant, Hon. John Morley, Mr. John Ruskin, Sir Edwin Arnold, Mr. George Meredith, Prof. W. E. H. Lecky, Sir Wm. M. Conway, Mr. R. D. Blackmore, Mr. William Black, Mr. Alfred Austin, Mr. Hall Caine, and Mr. Rider Haggard. Only portions of the address have as yet reached this country; these are as follows:

"At this crisis in the history of the Anglo-Saxon race, there are two paths. One leads we know not whither, but in the end through war, with all its accompaniments of carnage, unspeakable suffering, and hideous desolation, to the inevitable sequel of hatred, bitterness, and disruption of our race. It is this path we ask you to join us in an effort to make impossible. Not on the grounds of political equity do we address you, but we are united to you by many ties. We are proud of the United States. There is nothing in our history that has earned us more glory than the conquest of the vast American continent by the Anglo-Saxon race. When our pride is humbled by a report of something that you do better than ourselves, it is also uplifted by the consciousness that you are our kith and kin.

"There is no anti-American feeling among Englishmen. It is impossible there can be any anti-English feeling among Americans. For two such nations to take up arms would be civil war, not differing from your calamitous struggle of thirty years ago, except that the cause would be immeasurably less humane, less tragic, and less inevitable.

"If war should occur between England and America, English literature would be dishonored and disfigured for a century to come. Patriotic songs, histories of victory and defeat, records of humiliation and disgrace, stories of burning wrongs and unavenged insult-these would be branded deep in the hearts of our people. They would so express themselves, in poems, novels, and plays, as to make it impossible for any of us who live through the fratricidal war to take up again the former love and friendship for the united Anglo-Saxon race that owns the great names of Cromwell, Washington, Nelson, Gordon, Grant, Shakespeare, and Milton. There is for this race such a future as no other race has had in the history of the world; a future that will be built on the confederation of sovereign States living in the strength of the same liberty.

"We appeal to all writers in the United States to exercise their far-reaching influence to save our literature from dishonor and our race from lasting injury."

The address in full will be awaited with much interest in this country. The reaction in public sentiment has probably rendered unnecessary any formal response, though there is little doubt as to what the spirit of that response would be. Nor can this manly and brotherly appeal fail of being a great influence for good in any future emergency threatening the peaceful relations of the two countries.

Ever since the close of the World's Congress season, inquiries have been received from different parts of the world for definite information concerning the publicaings of the World's Congresses held at Chicago under tions which have been or will be made of the proceedthe auspices of the World's Congress Auxiliary of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893; and such inquiries still continue. While no general and complete publication of the proceedings of the Congresses has yet been obtained, many special publications relating to particular Congresses have been issued in various quarters, but no full list of such publications has hitherto appeared. I have therefore thought it well to prepare and send to THE DIAL a brief Bibliography of the World's Congress Publications which have thus far come to my knowledge, believing that such an account would be of much interest, not only to the nearly six thousand active participants in the Congresses, but also to the much larger number of those who attended the sessions or were otherwise concerned in the proceedings. These publications have been issued so quietly and separately that very few persons can have obtained any adequate idea of their number and extent. In addition, thousands of articles have appeared in the public press, from which volumes might be compiled, showing that by common consent the World's Congresses of 1893 were the crowning achievement of what Prof. Max Müller calls "the mighty Columbian Exposition."

For convenience of reference and inquiry, the several publications are classified in the departments of the Congresses to which they respectively belong, and the entries are arranged not in chronological order but in the alphabetical order of the various departments, and are consecutively numbered.

Among the Congresses whose proceedings are still unpublished are those on the Public Press, MedicoClimatology, Medical Jurisprudence, Social Purity, Humane Societies, Insurance, Authors, Ceramic Art, Decorative Art, Painting and Sculpture, Civil Service Reform, City Government, Jurisprudence and Law Reform, Patents and Trade Marks, Suffrage, Proportional Representation, Africa, Geology, Zoology, Evolution, Social and Economic Science, Profit Sharing, Weights and Measures, Single Tax, Labor, Farm Culture, Bird Culture, Good Roads, Farm Life and Mental Culture, General Education, College and University Students, Manual and Art Education, Kindergarten Education, Representative Youth, University Extension, Education of the Blind, Chautauqua Education, College Fraternities, Social Settlements, Higher Education, Colored Educators. These Educational Congresses were all of the first series; the proceedings of the second series are fully published in the volume hereinbefore noted. The proceedings of many of the Religious Congresses are also still unpublished.

The preliminary publications of the World's Congress Auxiliary, consisting of Announcements by the President and Preliminary Addresses by the Committees of Organization, make a volume of 1388 octavo pages; and the World's Congress Programmes, prepared and printed for the several Congresses, make a volume of 1002 octavo pages. Most of these Preliminary Publications and Programmes are now out of print.

These special publications relating to the various Congresses have tended rather to increase than to satisfy the demand for a general and complete publication of the proceedings. Those who took part in a Congress in one of the departments naturally have a desire to know what was accomplished in the other Congresses, not only of their own department, but also of the whole great series which opened on May 15 and closed on October 28 of the Columbian year.

For the most part, the publications which have thus far appeared represent the self-sacrificing zeal of interested societies. In many cases, the editions are limited to the needs of the members, leaving none to supply the general public. In some cases, as the list shows, the publications are not in suitable form for international use. Hence, while enough has been done to secure the historic perpetuity of the immense work accomplished in the World's Congresses of 1893, the need still remains for an appropriate Governmental edition of the proceedings of the various Congresses for distribution among the governments, colleges, universities, and leading public libraries of the countries which participated in the World's Columbian Exposition. This is required alike by the general welfare of the American people and the just obligations of international courtesy. CHARLES C. BONNEY.

President of the World's Congresses.
