4 Navel Philanthropy,
the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
/ was talking to a rather visionary philan-
thropist the other day and he had a scheme
1t is not a money-making arrangement and
at first flush looks like money-losing
one, but his efforts on a small scale have
been crowned with success and he Is SO en-
thusiastic about enlarging the field that
l have grown interested in it myself His
plan Is to start young men In trade. bust
ness or profession, loaninS money without
security other than that contained in the
business itself. Upon such q statement
do not believe any capitalist would be fav-
orably inclined toward IT, but the losses are
much lighter than would be supposed. He
started with $4,000 and loaned ii In
amounts Of $1,000 each to ten young men,
This was five years ago, and he has actual
ly netted over 10 per cent a year upon his
investment. while HIS capital remains in
tact and five more young men have been
started In life out of IL. When a young
man applies for a loan he inquiries into the
habits and natural capabilities of the ap-
plicant first, then he investigates the ma
ture and location of the business in which
thu investment is to be made and If salts
fed that the young man can succeed in
that business the money Is invested, the
philanthropist keeping a one-half interest
but under a contract by which his protege
can purchase the whole at any time upon
easy terms. The money thus comes back
in installments. enabling him to use IT
with others. The idea of my friend. the
philanthropEt, is to form an association
with enough capital to handle all deserving
ca SEES and enable poor young men Of good
character and sufficient ability to become
self-supportinE. 1t looked chimarical to me
when | first heard about it, but since then
/ have seen the men he started, and every
one of them has done wcll, several of them
employing a number Of men. and the work
has certainly in its limited way been an
immense benefit. while it has not caused
him to lose dolla-. non the contrary. it
has paid him good interest

the presence of a scene which you would
expect to find in no camp outside of the

he would hop up four feet from the ground
and turn clear around before he again lit

the left. He poked 1t in front of him and
twisted himself into q half knot in trying
to destroy his enemies in the rear. He con-
torted his face in the most horrible manner
TO inspire fear in his airy combatants, and
he yelled now and then as he thrust Such

Rotten From Skin to Core
The Chinese government Is rotten from
skin to core. The people of China are one
OF the strongest in the world. They can
do anything. and believe in the future they
will revoiutiOnize the world. They are
bound down today with as bad a govern
ment as ever pretended to rule. The Off
Gals of China almost universally cor

their legitimate pay. This is true of the
oficers of the army as well as of those of
civil rank. They systematically cheat the
soldiers under them and present false ac-

and adviser. At the kiagnan arsenal /
learned something of how orders for guns
and ships are made and how these Chinese
officials are making money out of the pres
ent wa. They order the ships through
foreign agents at Shanghai and insist that
rhey shall have from to 10 per cent of
the amount of each order. Many of these
orders run into the millions and you will
see that their profits are large. They are
very particular to the foreigners max
ing any money out of the business and in
sist that their profit shall not be more than
per cent on the list price of the articles.
On this basis the foreigner would not make
anything for his work, as he has TO pay at
least per cent to the official who gives
lin the order. There is usually collision
between the foreigner and the manufac-
tUrer by which the foreigner gets big
percentage and the Chinaman pays an eX-
ira price for the article.
Squeezing Everywhere.
This squeezing goes on everywhere both
in China and Corea. The officers of the
Chinese navy expect TO make money out
of their sailors. The officials in charge of
the railroads squeeze the men under them
ard every Chinese servant squeezes his
master. one of the greatest of the off,
Cial squeezeS is in salt. This is gov
eminent monopoly, and it's sale is farmed
cut TO the highest bidders. The sale of the
salt for district is worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and foreigners are
not permitted to handle it. There are salt
stations at which supplies are stored and
the native customs officers get their per-
centage on the salt as it passes from one
district to the other. In the collection of
taxes for the government the officers take
cut something from every collection for
themselves, ami if a Chinaman has q large
amount of money, blackmail is sure to be
levied upon him in some way or other by
