and importing and trying to stop The
vile and Vicious habit Of opium smok-
ing has instead helped and fostered
the growth Of opium in the howery
kingdom, and 80 successful has he

that the imports Of opium was con-
siderably lessened in the last two
years, and we suppose Iii Hung
Chang thinks (he wants TO be pro-
gressive) that prohibition is growing
by saving 80 many taels on imports.
For centuries opium has been the
blight Of china, but the great emperor
thinks according to his practical wis
dom, that effective measures would
be possible only when the growth Of
the opium flower was within the au-
thority Of those wishing to suppress
its use. And when the authorities
wish to suppress, then imports will
again come in Verify the saving of
a few tails is made in q long way
around.

There has been so much said on
arbitration that an extract from an
address of Lord Russell the chief
justice Of England on international
Law" reflects a most conservative
opinion;
MEN do not arbitrate when charc-
ter is at stake, nor will any self-re-
speeding nation readily arbitrate on
questions touching its national indie
pendenoe, or affecting its honor.
Again, a nation may agree to srbi-
trate, and then repudiate it's agree
ment. Who is to coerce liz Or, hav-
ing gone to arbitration and been
worsted, it may decline to be bound
by the award. Who is to compel itY
These considerations seem to me to
justify two conference.-the first is
that arbitration will not cover the
whole field of international contro-
versy; and the second that unless and
until the great powers Of the world,
in league, bind themselves to coerCe
q recalcitrant member of the family
of nations we have still to face the
more than possible disregard by
powerful states Of the obligations Of
good faith and Justice"

The past month has marked the
high water point in politics, and the
campaign may be called a Campaign
of education" and to just what extent
this phrase represents the truth it is
impossible to determine. Facts seem
to be and are stubborn things, but it
Is possible to present them in such
light that the same facts may be used
on the opposite sides of an argument.
The development Of wealth in this
country has had an inevitable result
in a growing distrust between the
classes and the masses. The average
American has none Of that old wov n
reverence and respect for the man
whom wealth or Office seems to give a
station above his own. We ara to
near the earlier condition q of strrIpel-
ing equality to feel that subm ission
before success VIII .ch precedent makes
In the old word civilization, and to
many thinF .ers of these United States
our lore Ign born population is largely
conn ,Osed of those who do not accept
tp'9 conditions of life in The old world
and who bring the same spirit of pro
test to this country, and these thinkers
think that he growing discomfort of
this class of our people has found
voice and outlet in the discussion of
finance. Our existing laws are held
responsible for the fact that the rich
are growing richer and the poor
poorer, and the obliteration Of party
lines shows how deeply this subject
was felt and the final success of either
party was problem that could only
be solved by the mass of individual
opinions.

themselves, Jointly and severally to
repay the advances by certain INSTALL

double the amount received, not only
for his own share, but for that of the

that there was a right Of veto, SO
