CONCENTRATING THE MOON

Our Chinese cousins last Tuesday celebrated
an anniversary in which the rest Of the world
ought to have had share. Two or three
thousand years ago, it seems, u great Monaghan
philosopher fell asleep on the night Of Septem-
Der %, when his soul was transported to the
moon, where he saw play. Coming back, he
built the first theatre and collected the first COM
pany of actors ever known in the world. The
Chinese, approaching the blessing thus brought
to them, celebrate the date of its coming every
September, and hold feast which Is called
Congratulatng the Moon" on the joint
possession which she alone of all planets holds
with the earth oRplays and play-actOrs. This
is the only trade or business whose advent into
the world is anywhere made an apology for ma
tonal rejoicing.
"The profession" as players with character
istic unconscious vanity are apt to call it, is
more moderated and overrated than any
other m ode Of money making. There are large
bodies of good folk who even to this day hold
the theatre to be one of the most dangerous
avenues leading to that broad road that goes
down to destruction. There are others just as
cody who rank it as one of the great 1eforma-
tory agents of the world. Both are mistaken
perhaps. The stage, whether 1t offers Tragedy
of Shakespeare played by Booth or ballet in
a Bowery dauce-hOuse, is only mirror 1t re-
fleets accurately the face of the time, simply be-
cause men are driven to their work by neces-
sity, but they are free TO seek in their amuse'
ments that which their taste and character de-
mand The man who denounces the stage as
trivial and indecent in its aims is like the lean
fellow in the fable who quarrelled with his
limp and gaunt shadow. The cure must begin
with himself. John Chinaman has the best of
it when he thanks the gods for the mirror re-
fleet what it will.

THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.

1t is probable that there will be many polit-
icaI changes in Australia within the next few
years Up to the present time this great con-
tinent has been divided into several lEdepend-
emf States. Each of these States has its own
government, and pursues most singular policy
of exclusion toward all the others There is no
federal government to bind them together
politically or give them common interests.
Consequently each province has its own GUS
tom houses, and leyies revenue taxes on its
neiehbors, as though they were foreign powers.
The only bond of unity that exists is the
common allegiance which they owe to the
British Empire.
Many of the most far-sighted of the Austral-
ian statesmen are beginning to see that this
anomalous state of affairs cannot last much
longer, and they are advocating the necessity
of some kind of ~ union between the various
provinces. But Oh what basis union shall be
effected is a question about which there ia a
wide diversity of opinion. Victoria has pro-
tective policy, while the other provinces allow
free trade. Naturally enough, Victoria, which
has been highly prosperous under it's tariff
system, objects to any union which would open
its protected industries to the competition OF

The law reducing the postage on letters
addressed to any part of the United States'
from 8 cents to 2. goes into effect to-
day. It's workings will be watched with
interest, although this reduction is in no sense
such an experiment as the reductions OF 1910
and 1851 were. Before 1S45 the postal rates
varied with the distance, from cents for thirty
miles to 25 cents for more than 400 miles by
the reduction of that year letters were carried
for any distance under 800 miles for cents
and for any greater distance for 10 cents.
The law of 1851 made the cost OF postage
cents for 5000 miles and 6 cents for any
greater distance. All those changes were
much more radical than the one which goes
into effect to-day; yet slight as the present
reduction is, there is good reason to suppose
that the falling off in revenue this time VIII
not be so great as on similar occasions III the
past. Many communications which hitherto
have been sent by postal card or circular Will
probably be mailed now In sealed packages
thus becoming frst-cass matter. The Presl-
dent in his letter to Congress last December
estimated the decrease in revenue incident to
such a reduction as this at about three
millions of dollars for the first year. In that
case, the Department ought to have no trouble
to make both ends meet.

THE apologies of the French newspapers
yesterday indicate that they realize what a
mistake was made by their fellow citizens on
Saturday, when King Alfonso was insulted in
the streets of the gay capital Any one but an
angry Frenchman would have seen how much
worse than useless it must be to vent hatred to-
ward Germany upon the Emperors recent guest.
If the Spanish monarch had already made
an alliance with Germany, Italy and Austria,
as the French feared, their display Of
wrath could do no good, and indeed would only
make the situation between the Republic and
her southern neighbor more strained; and if
the alliance were merely under consideration,
the behavior of the mob would not fail TO

The petitioners for higher education for
women who were discouraged by the small
ness of the concessions which Columbia Col
lece granted to them last spring will be
pleased TO know that four young women have
awaited themselves this fall of all the privi-
leges the trustees allow them. They have
presented themselves for examination, and
will pursue the course of study laid down
somehow and somewhere, but not at Column
bia Considering that the petitioners asked
one thing and that the trustees granted quite
another, it would not have been singular If
no female students had knocked at the doors
of Columbia. As it is, the onslaught is not
heavy enough to occasion the opponents Of
co-education much alarm.

The most interesting point in local politics
at present is whether or not Tammany and
the County Democracy will units on munich.
pal ticket. 1t is not a question of principle
of course but only of spoils. Tammany wants
the lions share of the Offices, and demands 50
much by right of casting the larger vote. The
County Democracy is equally determined to
keep all it has got and to get as much more
as possible and, as an argument, advances as
usual its WORKOUT claim of being the Greg
ular" Democratic organization of the city.
But Tammany casts more votes, and after all
it is votes which count. That is the unpeas-
ant feature of the situation for the County
Democrats. { On the whole, a pooling of the
factional issues does not seem likely, and
therein naturally lies an advantage to the
Republicans. 1t emphasizes, also, the necessity
of selecting an irreprOachable ticket, which
shall commend itself to all respectable and
dissatisfied Democrats.

ImpOrtaBt Land Decision.

Washington, 1s.-Fsbruary 10Th has
been fixed as the day for hearing the
motion for a reargument of the Ell So
brante case.
Secretary Teller has decided the Phelps
case in favor Of the settlers as against the
RAILROAD. The point of the decision is
that preliminary withdrs walls made nv
the railroads could not exclude settlers
from the same land. An official of the
department said, this is one of the most
sweeping decisions ever made. I think
it would be q safe calculation to saw that
it will let in 10000 settlers upon the
Northern Pacific lands. The Texas
Pacific grant is also severely affected. It
has been the practice of these roads to
make such preliminary Withdrawals, and
never complete them, consequently the
settlers could come in at any time, They
can come in even low according to the
decision.
