AN unusually praiseworthy feature of
New York politics is the tendency reported
to keep the judiciary ont of politics. This
is SO satisfactory that we are glad to notice
the assertion of the New York papers that
the Endorsement OF the Democratic Judge
Pratt by the Republicans of Kings county is
a case in point. But the recollection that
Judge Pratt is the member of the Judiciary
whose accommodating action permitted the
Sugar Trust to reorganize in violation of the
ruling of the New York Court of Appeals is
a fly in the ointment of this gladness. Is his
support by the Republicans a testimony to
the judicial non-partisanship or to the power
of the trust combination in BROOKLYN poll
tics?

THE AFTER TIME,

There cometh time for laughter,
And Joy for the days and years;
But ever there cometh after
A time and place for tears.
Weary of revel and riot,
Sick of the worldly strife,
Colneth the peace-the quiet
That quicken the founts of life.
And the spirit is disenchanted
With Joys that are bitter sweet,
And the soul which for rest had painted
Falls down at the Masters feet;
The world and Its ways seem lonely
And love at the best seems loss
What help Is there then but only
To cling to the crimson cross?
To cling to the cross that blossoms
With blood for the erring shed;
On the tenderest of tender bosoms
To pillow the weary head;
To feel the love that is glowing
From the heart that is quick to beat
With even the harsh nails going
In the beautiful SCARED white feet.
O bird, by the storm winds driven,
Where never a sweet bird sings,
From the wild and angry heaven
Fly homeward with weary wings;
And We that are worn and weary,
Who faint by the way and fal,
Fly fast from the darkness dreary
TO the Rock that was cleft for all,

CHINA's EvAsIvE POLICY.
A Firm Policy Needed to Secure the Safety
of Foreigners.

A Firm Policy Needed to Secure the Safety
of Foreigners.
San Francisco Chronicle.l
The news from PeSing shows that the
remonstrances of the foreign ministers have
had some weight, but the reply of Ii Hung
Chang to the British Minister proves that
China clings to her old evasive policy when
any positive demand is made for the punish
ment of those guilty of outrages on mis-
sionaries. All that is needed to secure
ample reparation and some substantial
guarantees for the future safety of for
eigners is a firm policy.
The foreign ministers will be fully justi-
fed in demanding as one of the conditions
of settlement that Human be opened to COM
merce. This province has been for years the
hotbed of anti-foreign sentiment. How Bit
ter the native prejudice is there may be
seen from the fact that two parties sent out
to build telegraph line through Human
were mobbed and driven out of the province
and the telegraph poles burned. The great
weakness of the Chinese Government is its
inability to enforce its laws in the provinces
and these anti-missionary riots have re-
vealed this weakness in the most striking

ONE of the dynamite rain compellers,
Prof. Mitchell by name, now asserts that he
can harness the frisky snowstorm and in
duce it to cover the plains as easily as he
can bring down the gentle rain from heaven.
In the form stated the assertion Is slightly
equivocal, but we presume that he means all
right. If it is so, the services of the expert
who can make it snow judiciously, so as to
meet the conflicting views of wheat raisers.
ice companies, railway corporations and
street cleaners, will command an unlimited
revenue. But the snow-maker who putteth
on his armor should not boast himself like
him who putteth it off.

Now we hear from Buenos Ayres that
Balmaceda has arrived at the Argentine
frontier after crossing the Andes. The
ability of Balmaceda to be in the Argentine
provinces on one side of the Andes, and on
the United States flagship on the Pacific
Ocean at the same time marks him as a
worthy rival of Fitzsimmons and Tascott.

THE New York World, which a COMPARE

with which the World has abjured its old

THE ability of the latest locomotives to
move railway train $40 miles in less than
500 minutes has just been demonstrated by
the New York Central. But a carping critic
suggests that before that line sets out to do
this as regular thing it should give its at
tention to getting its 2O-mile-an-hour accom-
mediation trains to the terminus within an
hour of schedule time. Some people never
will be satisfied.

What's in q Name.

There is family uptown by the name
of Katz Mr. Katz has little boy who has
been going to ward schools until quite re-
Gently. He doesn't go now and his pa and
the school teachers and the school trustees
and the school commissioners and every
body connected with the schools, from the
janitor up, are enjoying strained relations.
1t is an old story, but new thing to this
Mr.. Katz. You see, he had a relative to
honor and taking no thought of the possible
future complications, he named this boy
after him-Thomas. Surviving this appella-
ton along with the measles, whooping cough
and croton water, the boy reached the school
age and was sent to school. In the mean
time his companions began to cheer life's
limitations of the feline family. When
Tommy entered the schoolroom a shrilI cry
came from under distant bench.
"Mea-ow!'
"Sspit!'
. "Mea-ow-ow-Owr'
The teacher raped sharply and beheld
Tommy's hang-dog face of self-conscious-
ness.
Thomas Katzi' she calculated.
'Mea-ow! Put 'em Quit spitl Scatr'
came instantly from all parts of the room,
laughed with the rest. She couldn't help it,
though she tried to rap it down. Everybody
laughed but Tommy. There was no sense OF
humor in Tommy. He cried. Then the
little Thomas Katz went home that evening
and told his father that the whole school,
teacher and all, made fun of him. Then old
Katz got mad and raised q row about it.
The teacher tried to prevent recurrence of
the indignity, but the boys made Tommy's
school life miserable. Things got so bad
that the teacher requested the withdrawal
of the younger Katz on the ground that his
attendance was liable to break up the whole
school. Then old Katz scratched around
and got up complaint AGAINST the teacher,
and the teacher is having it out with her
superiors. The little Thomas Katz is on
vacation pending the difficulty-on the back
fence, so to speak
An Insult to the Public.
AS L predicted would be the case when
the scheme was first announced, the Eva
Mann theatrical speculation was over
whelmed by public disapproval. What
queer idea some theatrical managers have
of the public! No wonder so many theatri-
cal ventures result disastrously. Hundreds
of thousands are lost every year through the
stupidity of persons who place entirely too
low an estimate upon the intelligence and
sense of decency of the masses of the people.
No amount of experience will teach suoh
persons anything, because they attribute

The Fourth in kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 5.-The Fourth of July celebrations in Kansas yesterday were for the most part immense political mass meetings. The Alliance captured the day and made 1t a ratification of the birth of their new party at Cincinnati. There wers in all more than zoo distinctive Alli- ance celebrations. One county celebration was hel1 in each of the l06 counties In the State, and many counties held three or four. It was impossible to provide speak CTS for ali of the gatherings, and the Ali. ance Congressional and county lecturers in several instances made two speeches.
 A feature of all the Con gressional meet ings was huge banners telling of the three crises in the nations history. The first was in l776 wheu the Declaration of Inde- pendenco resulted in the freedom of tho colonies from the British yoke; the second was the abolition of chattel slavery; the third would be in 1899, the abolition of industrial slavery through the Peoples s party.
 The Republicans celebrated by them selves, and the Democrats were not In 1t at all There wasn't celebration in the State where the three parties met as citi- | zens In all the larger towns where any attempt was made to have a celebration In the odd-time fashion, the Alliance people were eoycotted, because only Republican orators were invited to deliver addresses.
