The senSitive man suffers a good deal on his way through life. He is jarred by discord and opposition. His craving is for peace; criticism stings him like a whip. Sensitive men, as a rule, endeavor to hide their sufferings from the public gaze. In this endeavor they assume an arrogance or a cynicism that is not genuine. Some of the boldest flouters of critics and opponents are really the most sensitive. Behind their outward show of contempt they suffer the keenest agonies of soul torture. , But the sensitive isthe creative temperament. A man that does not feel cannot perform. He is not creative, not original, The sensitive man shuns polemics, the give and take of contest, but once in a fight he stays. All the:great men have been sensitive. The sensitive man takes things seriously. The sensitive temperament is the temperament of the thoroughbred whose pride keeps him from ever giving up. It isthe sensitive men that battle for an ideal, for a principle. Sensitiveness is asymptom of brains. protected by a thick skin. But the thinker is sensitive because he thinks. He is self-analytical. He. meditates on criticism and measures himself by it. To the world he may appear to be as hard as steel and as cold as ice, but he feels deeply as every man of brains does. Intensity of feeling is a necessary element of genius and iutensity of feeling is possible only tothe sensitive temperament. The sensitive man keeps his innermost self private. He rarely opens the depths of his soul to any person; not to friends; not even to his wife unless she happens to be his perfect mate, as sensitive and sympathetic as himself. One fancies that Robert Browning and his wife were such mates to each other. Genuine sensitiveness inust not be mistaken for a spur— ious sensitiveness which is very common and which is nothing but vanity and conceit. One finds people proclaiming themselves “sensitive” because their vanity is easily offended. These people are quick to imagine slights where none were intended. They expect from the world a deference to which they are not entitled and they fret when this deference is denied. The true sensitive does not cry out his hurts. He suffers in silence as every great soul does. His feeling is not a shallow vanity, but a deep movement of the soul. The dull wit is #4444446 46 6 RUSSIA’S POLICY WITH CHINA F the news from Russia is true, in its outlining of the . policy of Russian government in making ready to declare war against China, converting her from an unwilling and restless neutral into an actively resisting, if not an attacking enemy, it is of the greatest importance. The news has all the semblance of truth about it, and the protests of China against the active and unwarranted interference of Russia in her internal affairs will furnish the pretext—for when Russia wants'a pretext, and can not find one to her hand, her peculiar species of diplomacy fits her for the business of making pretexts. The most irritating of her pretexts is in demanding and enforcing the right of Russian officers of high military rank to follow, and to overlook, the movements of Chinese troops even within the boundaries of the empire recognized as such by Russia herself. The declaration of war would, as the Russian Ministry thinks, operate to a valid seizure of the provinces of Peking Mongolia, Tien-Tsin and Tung Chow, and, at the same time, would put Russia in the attitude of a Christian and civilized nation confronting the hordes of the yellow perilers. The scheme is tempting. The addition of China to the ranks of the Japanese would not count for much, in the view of the Russian Ministry, for the contempt with which the Chinese ier is generally viewed is only equaled by the contemipt with which the Russian regarded the Japanese— very much to his present and his coming sorrow, There is also a strong hint to the Czar that unless he occupies China the control of the Pacific will fall tothe United States, on the completion of the Isthmian Canal, and that now is the time for the Czar to seize the field of Chinese trade and control the trade of the East through it. But Europe will not become all Cossack because he may follow the advice of his Ministry. As to the isthmian canal and the trade of the East, the United States will take care of both.
