OUT OF POLITICS.

Senator Morgan has introduced bill to
reorganize the foreign branch Of the State
Department. 1t is assumed that the bill
aims to establish the consular service on q
cvil-service reform basis. Until recently
the consular service has been noted for its
inefficiency. Exec pting a few prominent
positions it is poorly paid, and very often
the small salary was not earned. 1t is a
kind of churchyard where Congressman
who have had misunderstanding with
their constituents have found refuge. Po-
stions have been held at the pleasure of
the President, and a change OF administra-
ton turns the old ones out and puts new
ones in. There are over 400 principal
consulships in all, with some 300 consular
agencies. The latter are not salaried at
all, being supported by fees allowed by the
Consul for whom they act. Mr.. Wharton,
late Assistant Secretary Of State, de-
scribed the present condition OF the service
in the last number of the North american
ReUieag and recommended changes In the
direction of those outlined in Senator
Morgan's bill. Mr.. Wharton advises re-
duction in the number of consulships, the
abolition of consular agencies, a good be-
havior tenure of Office, fair salaries for all
Consuls and the payment Of fees into the
treasury,

AN AWFUL PROBLEM.

Mr.. Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor. has ad-
dressed Vice President Stevenson letter
from which we select the following preg-
nant paragraph:
At present an awful problem confronts u.s..
The appalling sight is witnessed OF millions of
our fellow men and women actually idle and
literally without the means OF sustaining life.
II at any other time the floodgates OF lmmigra-
ton should be opened, certainly in The pres
ence of such crisis wisdom. patriotism, states
manship and humanity forbid the step.
The awful problem Mr.. Gompers depicts
robably has 10 terror for Mr.. Cleveland.
he is not of the hungry whom no one fed,
not of the naked whom no one clothed. not
of the sick or in prison whom no one Wis
tied. But in the Senate there are men who
know what is going on In the world around
them, who know that there are thousands
of our fellow men actually idle and with
out the means of sustaining life." Will
these men, without whose assent the new
Chinese treaty will serve only as monu-
ment of the folly of it's trainers, give it the
votes which will make it the supreme la w
of the land? Most of the Democratic
Senators are bound to their idols. Even

they are tersely put. 1t is plain truth
that in our cities things have got to be
desperately bad before they ever get
better. This community is we'll aware
that until things become desperate men
never throw off the party ties which bind
them and unite as citizens to crush ont the
men who are throttling society" To turn
the ex-Dresident's logic against him
self. what remedy does he propose? A
variety of remedies have been tried.
Municipal elections have been held at diff
ferent times from State and national cleo
tions. Non-partisan movements have been
organized from time to time and have car
ried single elections. But it is evident
that the Kernel of the difficulty has not
been reached. Our schemes of reform
have all failed 10 Undue the average citl-
zen with sense of his duty as member
of the civic body. No plan has been yet
devised which compels the mass of citizens
to attend TO their civic duty at the expense
Of their private business. Can 1t be that
the pro blem is insoIuble? That would be
to say that man as a community Is a
failure; that social evolution is an impos-
sibility; that the plan of humanity has
miscarried. No society can accept that
conclusion without committing social sui.

CIVILIZATION.

A New York writer recently asked if
Kansas were civilized State. A Forum
writer replies that Kansas has some pre-
tensions to civilization, and com pares essen
tial conditions to those prevailing in New
York. 1t was shown that there was less
restitution in Kansas than in New York.
less crime, more even distribution of
property and q more general diffusion of
education. These are some of the condi-
tions which 60 to make up civilized CON-
muDty, and in these the Western State
was in advance of the Eastern. But it will
be admitted that the upper ten thousand
is more brilliant In the Empire City than
in the Cyclone State. There is more show
of wealth, finer imitation Of Old World
customs and more Of that calm self-conceit
which constantly assures itself of its own
distinguished consideration. The error of
the New York writer was in not knowing
what elements or conditions constitute
what we call Christian civilization. He
looked for evidence where the great
founder of Christian civilization did not.
He mstook the show of the few for the
virtues and wisdom of the many. 1t must
be admitted that in so doing he had high
examples. The civilization of the Ola
World is not judged by the condition OF
its people but by the glitter Of the court
circles

AN ORIENTAL CIRCLE.
Some Asiatic Kings Daughters at
the Occidental BOARD

The concluding exercises of the twenty
first anniversary of the Woman's Occi-
dental Board Of Foreign Missions took
place yesterday, and the attendance was
as large as the rooms Of the new home
could accommodate.
One of the most interesting events was
the introduction of a new circle of Kings
Daughters, known as the Whatsoever
Circle. This had been organ iZed by Mrs.
l. M. Condit. 1t consists entirely OF
Orlentals, and as the Japanese girls in
their quaint native costumes, the Syrians
in their flowing white robes and the Chi
nese in their native dress we're introduced
to the board and the visitors quite a fut-
ter of excitement was displayed.
II place on this Kings Daughter from
the land of our Savior this pin, bidding
Der go to her own people and preach the
Gospel" said Mrs. Condit. fastening the
Maltese cross of the order on the white
robe of a newly initiated Syrian girl.
Then some account of the whatsoever
was given, explaining how the circle
meets twice month for social reception
followed by religious exercises.
A number of addresses on missionary
work were delivered during the course of
the afternoon. Miss NJ. L. Cort spoke on
Siam. Mrs. CondIt on Home Life in
Chinatown" and Miss Margaret Culbert-
son on RESCUE Work"
The morning session was devoted to
praise services and reports and suggestive
thoughts rendered by Presbyterian dele
gates.

MR.. HARRiSoN'S VIEWS.

A touter for one Of the sideshows at the
fair lately entreated group of passers-by
to enter, saying: "Come in! comet 1t is
we'll worth seeing. Mr.. B. Harrison saw
il and spoke highly Of II. Let me show
you the way. You can't go wrong In fol-
lowing the example of Mr.. B. Harrison"
The drollery of describing the ex-Presi-
dent of nation of $4,000 people as
''Mr. B. Harrison" seemed to the visitors
the most amusing thing they saw at the
fair.
AS matter of fact, Mr.. B. Harrison.
though he is nothing now but lawyer
and college professor. never opens his
mouth without saying something worth
listening to. His address to the Ethical
Society on Thursday was full of bright
thoughts and nuggets of common-sense.
He was happier than perhaps be knew
when be warned his hearers against ''ser-
ting one class Of men and women to re-
forming another class of men and women"
That sort of reform never accomplishes
anything, because the people 10 be re-
formed are not conscious of the reforming
process to which they are being subjected.
The people who ought to hear do not hear.
1t is of no kind of use to preach against
city vices to audiences which are not ad-
dieted to those vices. II is the other kind
of people who must be reached if any good
is to be accomplished; and that other kind
the most respectable among the reformers
do not seem capable of getting at. AS Mr..
Harrison says. pounding is not the right
method; the right method of accom- plish-
ing moral reforms is the employment of
81 i1N e,,hf f0po rrhs
works into the hearts of men.
1t is this misdirection of effort which
renders the controversy between labor and
capital so difficult of adjustment. Neither
side understands the other. Capital
meets in a directors room and discusses
questions of competing corporations and
dividends in utter ignorance of a discon-
tent In labor circles which should be reck-
oned with. Labor meets in a union meet
ing and listens TO infammatory appeals
against capitalist and employer In COM
plete ignorance of the power OF capital
and the necessities of labor. Neither
party lies up alongside the other and gets
TO understand the rights and duties which
must govern. If the two parties are to
cooperate for mutual benefit, if errors are
to be pointed out and compromises eff
fected, they must meet In a common arena
in friendly spirit and try what truth and
persuasion will accomplish. 1t is precisely
in this spirit that Judge Caldwell at
Omaha held on Thursday that the re-
ceivers Of the Union Pacific could not re-
duce the wages of their employees without
giving to the labor organizations the no.
tice they had agreed to give and an oppor-
tunity to show that the proposed reduc-
tions were unreasonable. The headlines
describe the decision as victory for
labor. 1t was, in fact, ruling that con-
tracts must be kept.

UNDER THE WALKER TARIFF,

AT distance from given date the con-
dition Of the country at the time is CON-
pared with Its condition at some other
date, but often without special reference
to the causes which produced the recorded
condition. For example, the three years
from 1916 to 1S49 are often spoken of as
years of more than average prosperity.
The fact is attributed by free-traders to the
Walker tariff. which was enacted in 1916.
a correspondent desires to remind the
readers of THE CALL of especial causes
in operation TO produce prosperity. He
says.
In 1916 and 1S47 there were in this country
about 19.500.000 people, and we were at war
with Mexico on which account all our mills
and manufactures were working at full blast
Then The Government enlisted 100000 or
more men all in the years 1S46-1S47. Peace
was declared in July. 1848. ana in the mean
time the Government had bought I'D all the
surplus corn, oats and hay, thereby causing the
market to be brisk In all kinds OF farming
products.
In the early part of war period bust
ness is generally brisk. The thousands
who enlist in the army leave vacancies in
the industrial ranks which must be sup
piled at whatever increase in the rates of
wages. The millions which the Covert
ment borrows and puts in circulation give
kind Of electric touch to all departments
of business. 1t is with nation as with an
individual; when debts are being created
and the money spent things are lively.
The soberiDg-up period commences when
the payments fall due. II the United
States should within a year or two have
occasion to enlist 100000 men and borrow
$1,000, 00O000 there would be an instan-
taneous revival Of business. But the peo-
pie would have TO pay for it later.
