The wonderful progress made in China
has been emphasized of late by the Rev.
Griffith John, long time missionary of the
London missionary society, who has been
visiting in this country. Forty years ago
it was crime for foreigner to learn the
Chinese language, or for Chinaman to
teach it to him; and though the Marking
treaty was made in 1912, when Mr.. John
went to China, twenty five years ago, there
were only five places in the vast empire IN
which foreigner might dwell. The great
interior was still closed, as none might go
further than could be reached in twelve
hours from treaty port. The whole en-
pire is now open. Thirteen out of eight
teen provinces have been actually occupied
by missionaries and their families; the gos
pei has been preached in nearly all the
principal cities and towns, and the Bible
and many forms of Christian literature are
circulated everywhere.

Republicans would have us believe that
civil service reform is now an actual and
accomplished fact. In confirmation of
this statement we were solemnly assured
few days ago that certain vacancies ex-
listing in a superior grade of clerkships in
the post-office department, clerks had been
promoted thereto from the next grade and
subordinate clerks appointed to the places
thus vacated, and so on, adj iaefn5tatm.
This order of things was too beautiful
to pass without mentioning, and the en-
joyment of a sight of something which APP
preached to civil service reform was too
great for US to stand. The very idea of
anyone being appointed to the Office, be-
cause he was qualified, was reason enough
for an ebulition of feeling, and hence the
American citizen can be excused for re-
garding with doubt, distrust and incredul
ty the statement sent to us over the wires
that very young son of Mr.. Justice Har-
Ian has just been pitchforked into "a ST.,
600 clerkship over the heads of dozons of
competent men who have been working
for years upon salaries of 81, 200 and ST.
400" But however strong that doubt,
distrust and incredulity may be, the son
of Justice Harlan is now drawing his sal
airy.

The Peoria Transcript seems to be a
paper like the Rock Island Union. This
is a terribly severe statement to make
about the Transcript but a regard for the
truth compells it. In the same manner
that the Union has strived to the best of
its ability to give the impression that Rock
Island is not fit place to live in by utter
ing exaggerations and lies about the health
and business of the city. So has the Tran
script tried to drive people away from Peo-
ria by telling them that it is the wickedest
place In all this country. The National
Democrat has been showing up its false
statements and commenting thereon So
does THE ARGUS have the treat the Union.

If we are to believe the New York cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger,
there is fresh trouble in the Custom House
The republican state committee, whose
headquarters are at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
the other morning addressed printed cir
cular to clerks and other employees there
asking for contribution from their sal
aries for the purpose of defraying the neces-
sary expenses of the campaign, "checks
being made payable to the order of General
n. M. Curtis" Not few of the clerks, it
would appear, have had the courage to
assert that the proceeding is in direct con-
travention of the civil service policy, and
an appeal accordingly will be made to the
Collector to stand by them in a refusal to
submit to it, But the State Committee are
power that the Collector had better be-
ware how he offends. In any event the
good man will find himself between two
fres-the party machine and all that inn
plies On the one hand and the victims of an
impending political phlebotomy on the
other. As everybody is aware, it was for
running" the Custom House as a political
machine, that Collector Arthur was turned
out of it three years ago, and if Mr.. Rob-
ertson falls into the same groove he can
scarcely avoid placing himself in position
which will afford Mr.. Arthur an opportun-
ity to administer to him little of the same
medicine which the civil service reformers
at that time prescribed for him.

Mr.. James Redpath was guilty of the
following utterance in regard to American
action toward England: Force your
congressional representatives to increase
the tariff on all British goods, and to vote
millions, If necessary, to subsidize Ameri-
can lines of steamers, and thus drive Brit
ish shipping from our porte This is a
war to the knife on their part. Let it be

Der Ralph Gore, conductor of Erie, Pa.
Mr.. Gore was experimenting the building
of sewer in that city last Monday, and
while at the bottom of deep excavation
it was noticed that the earth on the west
bank was giving way. Mr.. Gore was the
nearest to the slope leading to the surface,
but in the rush of the men for safety, he
CALAMITY stepped aside, and let every
workman pass. Then he ran himself, but
the delay was fatal The trembling bank

spoke of beng dug from his grave. While
the men were working zealously, a cry
was raised that the other bank was giving

leaving their companion wedged as in a

while tears StreaYned from the faces of the

stood still in a momentary check. and then
slowly and silently came topping over.
There was a trembling, deep thud that
shook the surrounding buildings, and the
heroic fellow was buried beneath 500 tons
of solid earth. Later in the day they re-
covered his body, crushed into shapeless
mass by the huge weight that had fallen
upon him.

Ireland is assuredly in state of seige.
Last month there were stationed IN Eng
land and the Channel Islands eleven regi-
ments of cavalry, forty-one battalions of
infantry, eleven batteries of Royal Horse
Artillery, sixty-eight batteries of field and
garrison artillery, and twenty-five COM
panies of Royal Engineers. In Scotland
the total establishment is represented by
only one regiment of cavalry, two battal-
ions of infantry, as many batteries OF ar
tillery, and company of Royal Engineers;
while it is still deemed necessary to main
tain in Ireland six regiments of cavalry,
twenty five battalions of infantry, three
batteries of of Royal Horse Artillery. eight
batteries of field and garrison artillery, and
three companies of Royal Engineers, or
about 80, 900 men.

Newspapers have various privileges all
over the Globe, differing in all countries,
but in Turkey they are probably the most
restricted.
Turkish newspapers do not get great
amount of news, and are compelled to
throw away a part of what they do receive
The Lecant Herald lately said, for ex-
ample: I'VE are obliged regretfully to
bury in the tomb of silence some impor-
tant and interesting information received
yesterday, together with a leading article
connecting that information with the fore
casts and comments which have lately ap-
peared in our columns on the same sub
ject." This was in obedience to an order
of the government censor forbidding the
publication of any article relating to
Egyptian affairs; but the editor takes a
risk of punishment by giving broad hint,
as follows: 'tOur kilograms yesterday re-
lating wholly to the affairs of depend
ency of the Ottoman empire, which it
would be superfluous, even if it were al
lowable, to mention by name, we were un
able to publish them, but we may state
that the information they gave was of a
nature to allay apprehension.

A few days ago the ARGUS called att en-
ton to the burning of a millin Philad elphia
when many lives were lost, and comment
ed on the lack of fire escapes. It took
the ground that the greed for gain, greed
so strong that it allowed building con
tanning many hundred workmen to be
entirely destitute, of means of hasty egress
in time of fire, was criminal. This
same view was taken by the authorities at
Philadelphia
The inquest upon the bodies of the nine
victims of the fire at Landenberger's mill

Honest CD John Sherman is q success
very indignant over the talk, now com
mon about his misdeeds while secretary of
the treasury, and in loud tone has been
demanding the report of the Pitney inves-
tigating committee His position was that
some malicious people had claimed that
the report of that committee inculpated
him in the treasury ring frauds, and he de-
sired that the report be made public, so
that his innocence could be assured. This
claim seemed very fair and just, and the
average American citizen was applauding
this loud voiced cry fer investigation, I'M
til the thought happened to strike him
| that there might be a trifle of whitewash
in the scheme. Window was known to be
a friend and pupil of John Sherman and
| it was an acknowledged fact that he had
stopped the investigation into the treasury
frauds, long before they had been com
pleted. The thought at once suggest
ed itself that perhaps that
investigation had been stopped,
because John Sherman was beginning
to be implicated; and while the report of
the committee, so far as that report was
finished might not implicate him, the testi
mony if fully examined would. Yesterday
Mr.. Sohn Sherman, with grand flourish
of trumphets, called for the report of the
the investigating committee. He stood
before the senate in the guise of Il much
injured man, and asked for trial. He
moved that the committee report and then
all the world could see how pure man he
was. But there was another senator there
who did not have the fear Of John Sher
man before his eyes; he could only get
into his mind the fact that the investiga-
tions of that committee had not been full
and entire. He wanted to go a little fur
ther into the matter, and so he rose up in
his seat, and asked that an amendment be
added to Mr. Sherman's resolution, to the
effect that the testimony that was before
the committee be also reported to the SEN
ate.
This put an entirely new phrase ON the
john OUCfludu WIS seemingly
very anxious to have the report submitted;
he knew that the report contained nothing
hostile to himself. But the testimony was
a horse of another color and he imnedi
ately objected. The report had been stop
ped the minute it trenched on facts which |
were calculated to criminate Mr.. John |
Sherman but the testimony before the com |
mittee was the reason for stopping the
report and of course did eliminate him;
therefore he objected. It was strange |
sight to be seen in the senate Yesterday |
A senator got up and stated that charges
had been made against him while holding
a cabinet position; that in order to protect
himself he desired to have certain report.
q report whose contents he must know,
placed before the senate; another Sena-
or asks that the testimony before
hat committee he also presented; the
senator from Ohio at once changes front
de wants the report but not the testimony.
The matter stated in a few words is:
John Sherman knows that there is moth 4

Washington is having another first class
sensation. 1t is again indulging in the
luxury of social scandal. Sensational
divorce proceedings are foreshadowed into
the late announcement of the separation of
Congressman Clark, of the Eleventh Mis-
souri, District, and wife. Mrs. Clark was
Miss Jacoby and afterwards Mrs. Well.
She had position in the Interior Depart
ment before her first marriage and during
her widowhood took boarders. Mr., Clark
lived at her house for several years. Ex-
Senator Bailey, of Tennessee, and several
members of the House, also made their
home there while in the city, The mar
riage with Mr.. Clark occurred less than a
year ago and was chronicled as a social
event The ground alleged by Mr.. Clark
for leaving her is that of irregular conduct.
On the other hand istory is told by her
friends of revolving cruelties to which she
was subjected, dating at least from the
beginning of the summer. From all ac-
counts the court proceedings will be such
as to command attention from the promin
ence of the persons who will be called to
participate as witnesses and otherwise.

the mills, is criminally responsible for the
loss of life in neglecting TO furnish proper
means of escape; that the city of Philadel-
phia is responsible for not enforcing the
laws in compelling Joseph Harvey to erect
proper fire escapes, and they believe that
the bookkeeper, VIM. r. Hassenpot. is
censurable for not making some effort to
save the lives of the operatives instead Of
the effects of the office. An Indignation
meeting was held on a lot adjoining the
mill, some 600 workmen being present. 1t
was announced that Mr.. Thomas Dolan
had offered to subscribe $500 to any fund
for the relief of the distressed. and COM
mite consisting of Nr. Dolan, John Wan
amaker, A. S. Dextrel and Frank McLaugh-
lin was appointed to receive contributions.

and in the above advice he has started an
idea, which the protectionists of America
viii harp upon, not through any regard or
love for Ireland, but to carry out their de-
sires. 1t would not be right to accuse Mr.
Redpath of making the utterance in the
interests of protectionists, but it was GER
tainly an ill-considered statement and can
not be too soon Withdrawn. II, it becomes
popular, protectionists will develope more
sympathy for Ireland than any previous
draft upon their pocket-books would have
warranted US in suspecting.

ing in the report of the Pitney investi-
eating committee to criminate him. He
also knows that the testimony before the
committee would criminate him. Hence
he asks that the report he published so
that his character may be whitewashed, but
rotes to suppress the testimony because
there he fears that the truth may leak out.
If John Sherman is innocent why does he
not demand an Investigation which will
ferret out the truth? Why does he try to
sIlnnress it?

Republican papers are bowling about
the oppositlon to the confirmation of Dud-
ley as commissioner of pensions, and claim
ing that a person who did so much for the
party has right to be rewarded, or else
the spoils system is failure; but the World
was not far astray when it said The DEM
ocrats in the senate might as well sit down
upon the nomination of Commissioner of
Pensions Dudley, and if it is to be con-
firmed let the republicans employ their
majority in carrying it through. bud
ley was Dorsey's tool in the Indiana cleo
ton of year ago, and carried that state
by rank bribery and bulldozing. His origi-
nal nomination was declared to have been
made at the investigation of the pension
ring anxious to facilitate its operations By
the removal of Commissioner Bently. 1t
is perfectly free country and there is
nothing to prevent the democrats in the
senate from confirming the nomi nation of
Mr.. Dudley, but we are compelled to
remak in the interests of symmetry and
consistency that if they give him clear
bill of health it will be quite out of place
for them afterwards to declare that the
democracy was robbed of a president IN
1880 by Dorseys action in Indiana.
