TIE STdTE OF BTRNfH

Should there appear to be any truth in the re-
port Of revolution in Burmah and the killing
of King Thebaw, British interference will be
more necessary than ever Nothing can be
hoped from the succession of any prince of
Thebaws house, and since the plan of placing
a British Resident at the Court of Mandalay has
already proved impracticablc after several
trials, the alternative, which is annexation. is
the more likely to be adopted. The only really
strong objection to this course which has been
stated consists in the danger of being too near to
China. This danger is less one of unfrendi-
ness than of amity with the Middle Kingdom.
1t is apprehended by many Indian officers that
if Upper Burmah were annexed and India and
China remained OH good terms, the new terri
tory would soon be flooded with Chinese, who
are the most Objectionable inhabitants, because,
as The Spectator puts it, they are the only
Asiatic race Englshmen can neither modify nor
govern. The Burmese themselves would prob
ably make good subjects. being peaoeable, in
dustrious, and amenable to English law.
What has won over many former dissentients
to the annexation policy is the growth of p con-

TIE POPE md THE MIX mo

II il stated that the Pope has written to the
MIkado to thank him for protecting Christian mis-
sonaries in Japan. and that the Mkado has re-
piled, giving assurance of continued protection
There has never been in Japan any objection to
Christianity the ground of the spiritual doc
trinc. The state prosecutions which have occurred
grew out of the fact that in the Shinto system of
religion the Mkalo is accorded divine attributes
and therefore the teaching of the divine lor,lshp
of Jesus was regarded az an attack upon the SOW
ercignty of Japan The spirit of persecution is
aiep to the character of the Japanese people, and
though their liberation may be due in part to the
feeble hold any igOus system has upon them
there can be no doubt that their naturally gentle
disposition has much to do with it. Shintoism
which was essentially State religion, intoxicating
it did, abject obedience to authority us a cardi
nal virtue has long ceased to have any real vital
ity, while the Buddhism which supplantcd il is
OF a very corrupt kind, having taken over the poly
theIshc worship of the old system with a view to
compromise.
Since the remarkable new departure Of Japan in
the line Of Western civilization modern science has
been instrumental in still further undermining the
popular faith. In educated circles. indeed Buddh-
ism. reduced to the dimensions of abstract phi
losOphy, had already been substituted for the pre-
vailIng creeds. but the latest effort of tho Govern
ment to restore Shntosm for the patent purpose of
buttressng the power of the Mikado resulted in so
conspicuous failure demonstrated that the
ancient religion was beyond rcsusctation. In
respects young Japan is in the same condition
young India. The tendency Of the time is to-
ward scepticiGm or agnosticism, and probably the
Christian missionaries feel the numbing effects of
this current Of unbcef quito as much as do the
native priests. Christianity. however has In
Japan fair field for prosey tism in all other Ie-
spects. The protection of the Government may be
relied upon. and the chief difficulty lies IN the
popular Indifference. There is no such fanaticsm
is found IN China, and the destruction of the
feudal system has made it all tho more easy to APP
proSch the masses, who. if ignorant and super
stitious, are amenable TO reason, and quite sim
Cnlarly free from tho obstinate prejudices which
hinder the development of most backward races.

TIE LABRADOR DISASTER.

The hurricane which from the 18th to the
18th instant swept the coast of Labrador
appears to have destroyed nearly every vessel
exposed to it. The fishing fleet which had
gone out, tempted by the unreasonable
appearance of schools of mackerel, and in fact
driven by famine to seize the opportunity, has
persisted utterly so far as can be ascertaned
No harder seamen exist than the Labrador
fishermen, and their boats are for the most part
of solldity and strength to be found nowhere
else, for they are built to contend with seas and
winds which are never to be trusted. But this
storm proved fatal through its persistcncy.
The boats appear to have gained temporary
shelter, and would have Outriddcn an ordinary
gale but this one blew so long that the harbors
of the cOast-ncvcr good-became as dangerous
as the open sea, and the boats were torn from
their moorings one after another, and cast upon
the rocky shore, where no doubt surf ran
precluding the possibility of rescue.
The general result is melancholy in the
extreme, for this crushing blow comes at the
end of long series of mlsfOrtunes, and seems
to make further contention impossible to the
wretched survivors. For two seasons the fish
cries have failed in Labrador and upon the sea
harvest the population is dependent. Last
winter aid had to be given many families by
the Government. This fall still greater
demands were evidently unavoidable. a hard
ard dreary winter was in store for the poor
people, and when the mackerel schools came in
it was natural that every able-bodicd male
should rush Oft to sea. As a consequences, the
bread-winners have been cleaned from hun.

Several thousand children have been denied
admission to the public schools for lack OF
room. This is shameful condition OF affairs
and ii is all the worse because it has existed
now for some years. There is great need for
economy III almost every department OF the
city governments but it is not true economy to
refuse to appropriate the necessary money for
new school houses and then to be compelled
to appropriate larger sums for jails and asylum'.
1t is not surprising that the police OF Balu-
more should discredit the story OF the attempt
to procure the murder of young wife by one
of her parents law. In the present state OF
its DEVELOPMENT it is impossible to say how
much if any, truth there may be i'll the state
ment; but az it stands, it is unquestlonably
naturalization from the nebulous region OF
the dime novel. The appearance III modern
society of dramatic female villain, who goes
in quest of professional murderer with fat
purse in her hand, is undoubtedly startling,
and if the police and public manifest sceph-
clsm in the premises the fragrant improbabiity
of the narrative sufficiently justifes their in
credulity. At the same time. it would be rash
to conclude that the thing is impossible, for the
possible combinations of human folly and
hausted even by the swift fertility of sensa-
tiOnal romance writers.
The reasons why an intelligent voter should
support the Republican party are as potentnow
as at any previous time. They were admirably
stated by Congressman William Walter Phelps
in speech last night at Paterson. His scathlng
review of the plumbers of the pew Adminstra-
ton ought to be read by every voter who may
be in doubt how to cast his ballot on Tuesday
next The course of the Postmaster General
in multiplying an act of Congress i'll order to in
lure American steamship lines was held up to
scorn along with the course of the Secretary OF
the Navy i'll trying to break down American
shipbuilding. The Attorney Generals telc-
phone speculation, Secretary Bayard's marvel
lous diplomatic appointments and other acts OF
the Administration were justly pointed out as
so many powerful reasons for voting the RepuD-
lcan ticket Mr.. Phelps was entirely fair in his
argument, and his conclusions are irresistible.

6 o0d advice for a EumOrISt.

To young men Bob Burdette says
You take a basin of water, place
your finger in it for twenty-five or
thirty seconds, take it out and look at
the hole that is left. The size of that
hole represents about the impression
that advice makes on a young mans
mind.
Don't depend too much on Your
family-the dead part l mean. The
world wants live men; 1t has no use for
dead ones. Queen Victoria can trace
her ancestors back in direct line to
William the Conqueror. Ii you cannot
get further than your father you are
better off. Your father was better
man in his time than oldWilliam. He
had better clothes to wear. better food
to eat and was better housed.
you are diamond, be sure that
you will be found. Cheek. brass, or
gall. never gets ahead of merit.
Il love a young man who is Straight
forward. Ask for what you want. If
you want TO marry a rich mans daugh-
ter or borrow $500 from him ask for
it; it amounts to the same thing in the
end. tits always better to astonish a
man than 70 bore him.
Remember that in the morning of
life comes the hard working days.
Hark work never killed a man. It's
fun, recreation, relaxation, holidays,
that kill. The fun that results in
head the next morning so big that
tub could hardly cover it. is what kills
Hard work never does
Those who come after us have to
work just as hard as we do. When l
shovel the snow off my sidewalk, if,
perchance, l take a threequarter
piece off my neighbours walk, l put it
back, because If / didn't l should be
doing him an injustice.
You can't afford to do ANYTHING
but what is good. You are on dress
parade all the time.
Don't be afraid of pounding per-
sistently at one thing. Don't be afraid
of being called a one-idea man or a
crank. If you have one idea, you
have one more than most men have.
1t taxes smart man to be a crank
