live withcut living. The Indian must take his chance with the rest of us. His rights must be protected by law; his welfare looked after by philanthropy; but protected by law and befriended by philanthropy, he must plunge into the current of modern life and learn to live by living. The tepee will never fit him for the house, nor the canoe for the steamboat, nor the trail for highways and railroads, nor trapping and hunting for manufactures and husbandry. Imagine—the illustration is Edward Everett Hale's, not mine— imagine that we had pursued towards our immigrants the policy we have pursued towards the Indians; had shut the Poles, the Hungarians, the Italians, the Germans, the Scandinavians, each in a reservation allotted to them, and forbidden them to go out into the free life of America until they had Americanized themselves—how long would the process have taken? But the capital objection to the reservation system is that it is one impossible to maintain; and it is impossibl<

Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Newport, Christopher 1565- (search)
Newport, Christopher 1565- Navigator; born in England about 1565; commanded the first successful expedition for the settlement of Virginia, landing, April 30, 1607, at a place which he named Point Comfort because of his escape from a severe storm. On May 13 he arrived at Jamestown. He had been engaged in an expedition against the Spaniards in the West Indies not long before. He made several voyages to Virginia with emigrants and supplies. Before he returned to England for the last time he joined with Ratcliffe in an attempt to depose Captain Smith from the presidency of the colony. He was defeated, and acknowledged his error. Newport's manuscript work, called Discoveries in America, was published in 1860, by Edward Everett Hale, in Archaeologia Americana.

is free from every suspicion of ulterior motive and inspired purely by the love of humanity. The one great plan of earlier date is the Great design of Henry IV. of France, to which Penn himself refers in his essay. The original account of this is in Sully's memoirs. It is a matter of controversy how much this design was really Henry's; and those interested in the matter may find a careful discussion of it in Kitchin's History of France, vol. II., p. 472. Almost interesting and stimulating article based upon the Great design is Edward Everett Hale's The United States of Europe, first published in Old and New, 1871, and republished in Lend a hand, July, 1896. The most famous and important modern essay on international arbitration and the federation of the world is Kant's Eternal peace, of which there are two good English translations, one by Morell, the other by Hastie, included in a little volume of translations of Kant's political essays, entitled Kant's principles of politics.

r true religious feeling. In his poem at the grand Harvard celebration in 1886 he made a special point of this principle: For nothing burns with such amazing speed As the dry sticks of a religious creed. Creeds are necessary, however, and an enlightened education teaches us not to value them above their true worth. In 1867 Doctor Holmes published a volume of poetry which was generally well received, but was criticised in the Nation with needless and unmerciful severity. Rev. Edward Everett Hale and other friends of his had already been attacked in the same periodical, and the Doctor thought he knew the man who did it; but whether he was right in his conjecture cannot be affirmed. There can be no doubt that these diatribes were written by a Harvard professor who owned a large interest in the Nation, and who was obliged to go to Europe the following year in order to escape the odium of an imprudent speech at a public dinner. In this critique Holmes's poetry was summed up

en bestowed on Wells. Doctor Morton must have thought now that the clouds were lifting for him at last; but they soon settled down darker than ever. The committee's report was only printed towards the close of the session, and Congress, gone rabid over the Presidential election, neglected to consider it. Neither did it take further action the following winter. A year later a bill was introduced in the Senate for Doctor Morton's relief, and was ably supported by Douglas, of Illinois, and Hale, of New Hampshire. It passed the Senate by a small majority, but was defeated by the mud-gods of the House-defeated by men who were pilfering the national treasury in sinecures for their relatives and supporters. In the history of our government I know of nothing more disgraceful than this,--except the exculpation of Brooks for his assault on Sumner. Doctor Morton was a ruined man. His slender means had long since been exhausted, and he had been running in debt for the past two or three

vice, those receiving his ministrations including young men seeking employment, young doctors and lawyers, country merchants, would-be editors, and inquiring farmers. Greeley's lectures also gave him and his paper a good deal of advertising. It is somewhat difficult to realize to-day the importance of the lecture platform when it was considered a sort of duty for educated men to have on hand a lecture or two which they were willing to read to any audience which was willing to ask them. Hale's Lowell and his friends. Emerson wrote to a friend in 1843, There is now a lyceum, so called, in almost every town in New England, and if I would accept an invitation I might read a lecture every night. But all lecturers were not expected to contribute their wisdom or entertainment without compensation. It was said in the early fifties that Zzz Ik Marvel, from the delivery of one not very good lecture, could secure money enough to support himself while he was writing a really good book, a
