CHINESE WEAKNESS,

Julian Ralph, in a letter relating to
the situation of affairs in the East,
makes striking comparison to il
lustrate Chinese helplessness. He
says:
"In considering this or any other
war in China, the student must un-
derstand that China is not a nation,
but people. Instead of being a
great body, moving glacierlike upon
its enemy (as an ex-diplomat in
America ignorantly describes it,. it is
a broken bag of shot rolling in all
directions away from the object that
has torn the bag. We have here three
sets of people-Q) the once warlike.
now enervated Tartars or Manchcos,
who rule the country; (2) the great
body of true Chinese in the provinces
north of the Yang-tse river, and 81
south of that river a number of dis
similar provinces, speaking different
languages, having different customs,
and governed for China in a manner
that embraces much Of the relics of
the ancient feudalism which not long
ago was pure there and complete"
China seems to be the most conspic-
uous illustration of a nation divided
against itself. Thus, with it's ad-
herence to barbaric methods of war
fare and it's antipathy to modern CIV
ilization, it is left weak and defense
less before the brave enterprising
progressive and homogeneous Japan
ese, Notwithstanding it's enormous
superiority in numbers.-Harper's
Weekly.

A MEDAL PRESENTATION.
The President of the Commission
Pleasantly Remembered.

A few days ago a beautiful gold
medal was presented to Hon. Geo. T.
Myers, president of the late Oregon
Worlds Fair commission, by his fel-
low commissioners and the officers of
the commission. The medal was for
mally presented to Mr.. Myers by u.
s. Senator Geo. w. Mcbride. who said:
Mr.. Myers-On behalf of the Ore
gon Worlds Fair commission, have
the honor to present to you this medal
as token of the personal esteem of
those whose names are thereon in
scribed, and as a testimonial of our
appreciation of the energy, ability,
and fidelity with which you have per-
formed the onerous duties Of president
of the commission. We recognize that
the success of the Oregon exhibit at
the Worlds Columbian Exposition is
largely due to the able manner in
which you met the trials and difficult
ties of your official position, while we
must especially commend you for
your personal sacrifice Of time and
money, in the interest of our common
work in behalf of our state. Accept,
then. this medal as an evidence of our
recognition Of your valuable service

MY PHILOSOPHY.

! allus argy that a man
Who does about the best he can
Is plenty good enough to suit
This lower mundane institute,
No matter eff his daily walk
Is subject fer his neighbOr's talk,
And critic minds of ev'ry whim
Jest get up and go fer him.
It's nachural enough, / guess,
When some gets more and some gets
less,
Fer them that's on the slimest side
To claim it amt a fair divide,
And I've knowed some to lay in wait
And get up soon and set up late
To ketch some fellow they wuld hate
Fer goin at a faster gait.
The signs is bad when folks COM
mence
A-f1ndin fault with Providence
And balkin cause the world don't
shake
At ev'ry prancin step they take.
No man is great till he can see
How less than little he would be
Eff stripped to self, and stark and
He hung his sign out everywhere.
MY doctrin' is to lay aside
Contentious and be satisfied;
Jest do your best, and praise or blame
That fOllers that count jest the same
I've allus noticed great success
Is mixed with trouble, more or less,
And it's the man who does the best
That gifts more kicks than all the rest
-Whitcomb Riley.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1895-03-28

to the commission and to the state,
and of our personal regard and es
teem.'
Mr.. Myers responded with much
feeling, saying that while, as mat
ter of necessity, the duty of supervis-
ing the general work of the commits
sion had devolved upon him as it's
president, he had relied upon the ad-
vice and assistance of the commission,
whose faithful and efficient perform
ance of duty had brought about the
signal success of .Oregon's exhibit at
the great exposition. He insisted that
he had done only his duty according
to his best judgment, and said that
the credit for the success of the Ore
gon exhibit should rightfully be
shared in common by the members OF
the commission, who had together
shared it's labors and responsibilities.
He returned his thanks to those who
had Joined in presenting the medal,
and said he should prize it highly, but
not so highly as he priced their COM
mendation of his course as their pres
ident and the good will and personal
regard which prompted their kind
gift. Mr.. Myers closed by saying
that he should gratefully remember
his fellow members Of the commits
sion for their steadfast aid and sup
port in the difficult labors of his posi-
ton and for the beautiful memento
of their appreciation and esteem.
The medal presented was of hand
some design representing the globe,
above which is a plain gold bar, on
which is engraved the words, "George
T. Myers, President" On the face of
the medal the globe is surrounded by
the words, ''Oregon Worlds Fair
Commission" and engraved on the
diverse side of the globe are the
names of the donors: Geo. w. Nc
Bride, J. r. Cardwell, w. F. Matlock,
Phil Metschan, e. B. McElroy, J. A.
