A Gun. Chow-Cbov and pioh1e.

The Truth is. says the Contemporary
REVIEW, that II the japanese do not sweep
the Chinese from the sea, then study,
skill, devotion and experience 20 for moth
ing, and there is no need for us TO train
our naval officers at all One thing only
could save the Chinese on the seattle en-
hstment by large promises Of money Of
European naval officers in whose hands
complete and unfettered control should
be placed. The Chinese seamen are not
wanting in courage, but. naturally enough.
they have no confidence whatever in their
leaders, and they would probably fight
well enough to give their undoubtedly
nne ships a chance If they were well com
manCed. Even in this case, however.
the fear would be that the ships have been
allowed to deteriorate to such an extent
that nothing like their best could be got
out of them.
I remember once being shown by a
Chinese naval officer over one of their
biggest ironclads, which was on a cruise
at the time, and, therefore, presumably
in hrst-rate condition. l noticed a gun
carefully protected in a canvas cover.
As we passed it 1 asked casually what it
was. The officer explained with pride
that 1t was new quick-fring gun, and
called quartermaster to remove the
covering. The order was obeyed with evil
dent reluctance, and when the gun was
at length exposed it proved to be used
by one of the watches as a receptacle
for their Chow" and was filled with
chopsticks and Uttered with rice and
pickles. Of course, l promptly looked the
other way, but 1t required no knowledge
Of Chinese to interpret the remarks of
the officer to the Quartermaster No
doubt the whole watch went through the
process Of eating bamboo the moment
| was OF the ship but the Chinese are
incorrigible. 1t would be discoura ging TO
a European engineer who should be ap-
pointed to a Chinese ship to find that if
there were any subordinate boiler small
enough for the purpose it had probobIy
been used for stewing dog.

Cardinal Gibbons on woman su1rars

Cardinal Gibbons thinks women should
take no active part in political affairs. He
is opposed to woman's suffrage, and in a
recent sermon in the cathedral at Balti-
more, took occasion to express himself
freely on the subject. He holds that wo-
man s sphere IS the home, and that her
Influence should be to the end OF eIeva-
ting social and domestic life. It would be
fearful to contemplate what would have
been the condition Of society to-day but
for the restraining, sanctifying and puri-
Tying Influences which women have ex-
erted upon It from their position in the
family relation, which relation God him
self founded The woman has mission
to perform, but it is not in the line Of gov
eminent. That is stern affair, for the
sterner sex.
Women have Indirect influence upon
matters of state, as illustrating which
the cardinal said: "A ruler Of Greece
said: command Athens, Athens rules
the world. and my wife rules me; there
fore she rules the world" So far, wo-
mans influence In politics may be all
right, the cardinal thinks; but he would
not have the woman brought direcly into
contact with politics. "She cannot vote, -
he said, "and / am heartily glad Of it,
hope the day viii never come when she
can vote and If the right is granted her l
hope she will regret II, even though there
are some misguided women who think
they want IT.. Rest assured, II woman en-
tered politics she would be sure to carry
away with her some of the mud and Dirt
Of political contact. She. too, would lose
some Of tthe influence which she now ex-
erts."
Such an expression from so eminent an
authority will have great weight in the
Catholic world. Already the woman suf-
fragists in New York are endeavorlng to
counteract the effect of it by making the
sermon the subject of addresses based on
the opposite opinion.

many economies would be possible that

convince the people they were not being

the transportation rates might be. The
sugar trust has lowered the price OF sugar
