LITERARY NOTE.

General Lord Wolselt y makes most
important contribution to the literature
of the China-Japan war. In an article
in the Feb. Cosmopolitan, he discusses
the sitnation and does not mince mat
ters in saying what China must do in
this emergency. Two other noted for
eign authors contribute interesting al
-icles to this number. Rosita Mauri,
the famous Partisan danseuse, gives
the history of tn. ballet, and Emile
Olivier tells the story of the fall of
Louis Philippe. From every pait Of
the world, drawings and photographs
have been obtained of the instruments
used to tort ure poor humanity, and ar-
pear as Illustrations for "A clever article,
by Julian Hawthorne, entitled, Saliva
tion via the Rack" Mrs. Reginald de
Koven, Anatole France, W. Clark Rus
sell, Albion w. Tourgee, and William
Dean Howells are among the story teller
for the February number of The Cos
mopolitan.

Dallying With Strikers

The Brooklyn strike furnishes an
other impressive illustration OF the
folly of dealing with such outbreaks
in a hesitating and temporizing fash
ian. A strike is nothing more nor less
than an attempt to settle dispute by
arbitrary and illegal means. When
employees enter into a movement OF
that kind they practically give notice
that they are ready to resort to any
means within their reach for the ac-
complishment of their purposes.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Both, 1906
More Water is to be poured into the
sieve, In other words, the admins
tration has decided to scold Congress
and issue more bonds to replenish the
gold in the treasury and to meet the
expenditures of the government.
Knowing the sensitiveness of bus;-
ness, The Republicans in Congress
have purposely refraiEed from saying
much that might have been said
about the position the administra-
tion has taken upon financial mat
ters, preferr;ng to lose opportunities to
make party capital to arousing public
sentiment which might prove detri-
mental to the great business interests
of the country. 1t was the same feel
ing which pToml ted the Republican
leaders when approached by the Demo-
Gratis to say that they would offer TO
fact uoS opposition to any measure that
promised to be of the slightest assist
ance o the Treasury, and to advise the
Democrats that the best thing this
Congress could do for the Treas
Try was t. amend the tariff so as t.
increase the revenue. This advice
might have borne good fruit, but Mr..
Cleveland, with his usual obstinacy,
prevented it by announcing pompously
that legislation to increase the revenue
would not he satisfactory to him.

Senator Teller correctly character
lied the Vest amendment to the Haw-
allan resolution, which was adopted by
vote of "a to 22 in the Senate. as put
ting on the records Uf the Senate an
absolute falsehood. The amendment
declares the sympathy of our people
with all efforts to establish Republi-
can institutions reaffirms the policy
of absolute noE-inleIference with the
affairs of our nations, and closes by
declaring that the ADMINISTRATION de-
serves approval for maintaining that
policy. Mr.. Teller showed conclu-
sively that the administration had not
maintained that policy towards Hawaii
and it would have been easy for him to
have shown that it had acted directly
contrary to that policy in several other
instances, notably at the beginning of
the war between China and Japan.
Republicans were somewhat surprised
to find one Republican, Pettigrew, vot-
ing with 90 Democrats for the Vest
amendment, and the hope expressed
that he only did so to be in a position
to move reconsideration later. Sen
ator Frye's speech refuting the silly
slander about Hawaiian bonds being
sold in New England was scorcher.
