toward those, who, like himself, were charged
by the party to carry out party pledges.
The ADVOCATE, like all other Democratic
papers has withheld these facts from the
masses, because it was no pleasant duty to
print them We hoped for a better feeling to
prevail between the President and Congress.
but no hope now remains, and it is right that
the Democratic voters should hear the plain
facts. The defeat in this county last fall was
the result of disgust at Congress, instilled by
the Baltimore press. falsely sailing under the
name of Democratic. They are still praising
the President and abusing Congress. TO mis-
lead and confuse the voters while the Tax
Dodgers, whose organs they are. capture the
party organization 50 as TO prevent the enact
ment of an assessment bill that will assess
and force the wealth of the State to pay its
lust proportion of necessary taxation.
The present Congress Is about to expire,
and there will be no Legislation other than the
regular routine work There is, therefore. no
excuse for the Spt and NeirS to be further
attacking the Democratic Congress. What
ever they may do in that line viii he readily
understood to be for the purpose above
noted-to raise dust while the Tax Dodgers
get in their work.

SOME COMMON SENSE.

I
 This country has been notified by a
 good many intelligent observers that If
 1t wants to increase, or even keep it's
 trade with foreign countries 1t must ] improve it's consular service Now
 comes MT. Denby from China and tells
 us that if we do not want to lose our
 market in China for cotton cloth we
 shall have to bestir ourselves. The 1 making of cotton cloth Is rapidly in-
 creasing in that country, and MT. Dem
 by says that the trade Of this country cannot be pushed in China by untrain-
 ed representatives. Other commercial countries having trade interests in Chi
 ma to look after-Great Britain, France,
 Germany, Russiar-send clever young
 men to Pekin to learn the official dia-
 lect," which is quite distinct from the
 dialect learned by the missionaries To
 become fairly proficient in it requires
 two or three years of hard study. Then
 the young men serve an apprenticeship as consular clerks, etc., and work their way up. All the European consuls-gen- eral and consuls in China have been educated for their duties in this way. Thus, says Mr. Denby, is created a body of consular officials able to trans act business directly with Chinese off, cials and merchants. It goes without saying that such representatives exer- else an influence on trade very much to our detriment, our officials being such birds of passage as to be no match for them. "That there is any success what ever in our consular system is due to the natural quickness and intelligence of Americans. If to this quickness were added the advantages afforded the representatives of Great Britain and other European powers our com merce would be greatly benefited. To get the best results our consular ser vice should be made a profession with a certain tenure of office and promotion Tor capable service. Our trade in the East is second to England's, but at a vast distarc. Britannia literally rules the waves by virtue of her devotion to | her commercial interests. She leaves no stone unturned to advance her cause, whereas we are curiously indif- ferent to the development of our for eign commerce. Formerly we had very large merchant houses at Canton and Shanghai. The last, Russell & O., fail- ed several years ago, and no successors nave filled the void. If the bill before congress to place oonsuls under civil service rules becomes a law it will be he greatest good fortune that ever be- ell our foreign trade"
 This is common sense. And it is

words were misunderstood and narrow cd by him, for I particularly endorsed, as far as knew, all that might be said of this choir. It was a simply point in the discussion. The over-advertis- ing of other choirs would have served as well to illustrate my points. The trouble between Music Lover and my self is this: He is looking at the matter of religious worship from the restricted and lower standpoint of an enthusiast in music, and with his mind preocou- pied with the attractions of g. particu- lar choir I am looking at the matter of worship from larger and higher standpoint, in more general way, with no thought of special application,
 He should remember that my criti- cism of some phases of modern divine worship included historical services advertised and sensational sermons as we'll as musical evenings and advertised choirs. But after all, as often happens in good-natured discussions we agree fairly well. In the first part of his let ter Music Lover" lnisleads me by proV- ing at length that music should be of first importance, second to nothing In divine worship; in his last paragraph he puts music in its very proper place, "among other aids to worship"
 As an aid, means to an end not excluding higher things, it is power ful factor in church service; but to | make it the best and most important | part of worship would mean a very | temporary and aesthetic uplifting | which would not result, fear in a very | Christianity.
 I see no reason for changing the opin- on have already expressed that his -oricar' evenings, composers" even ngs, much advertised ehoirs, sensa- .iona1 sermons; in short, the seculariz- ng of divine worship with which we ire so familiar in these days, means a owering of the dignity of worship and | decided loss of spirituality.

STRONG " MIND, STRONG 1N BODY.


 STRONG IN MIND, STRONG IN BODY,
 The new girl is as strong in her body
 as she is in her mind, and that is say-
 ing much. She has already amply
 demonstrated her strength of mind,
 and she is here and there giving ex-
 hibitions of her strength of body. One
 of these exhibitions was given the
 other day in Binghamton, New York.
 There is high school in that place,
 and there are two secret societies in
 the school, one called the Alpha Zeta,
 composed of young men, and the other known as the Theta Sigma, whose men-
 bers are girls. There has been so fierce a rivalry between these societies that they have been forbidden to hold meet ings in the school building, and have been accustomed to meet at the homes of members, One day last week the Alpha zeta boys learned that the Theta Sigma girls were about to initiate some new members at a meeting to be held in private house. The boys quickly matched plot, and on the night appointed for the meeting pro- ceeded in body to the mansion in which the girls were assembled. One of them knocked, and as soon as the door was opened all of them rushed in and surprised the girls in the midst | of their ceremonies, For a moment | and dead silence reigned. | Then the girls rallied and turned on the invaders. The attack was furious | and the battle short. The boys were ,uffed, pounded and kicked, their hair pulled and their clothing torn. They were unable to resist the onslaught, md quickly beat retreat in wild dis order. It Is stated that one of them was fairly hurled down stairs by a ouxom girl. The Theta Sigma society hen went on with it's exercises, while he members of the Alpha Zeta dis ,ersed in various directions, with bruised bodies and wounded feelings.
 If the new girl is thus in Binghamton what is she in other places where she las had more encouragement and more And what will she do when he really lets herself out? Now that Harvard has effeminately turned to he Arts and Sciences will Yale find Ter only worthy foe on the bloody foot all field in team from some female ollege?"

manent enterprises and were wound up with no benefit to any one save the vendors and promoters. Hitherto the unfortunate investors have been without redress against those who had profited at their expense, since, as a rule, the promoters left to the direc- tors whom they had deceived the re- sponsibility of making those false rep resentations upon which investors were induced to embark their money, Ac- cording to the decree which has just been rendered, however, the vendor and promoter, as long as they retain single share of stock in the concern, remain the responsible parties, the directors and management of the com pany being considered merely as their agents.
