SITY'S NEW
RECTOR.

the United States which has become known
as the conservative in contradistinction
to the liberals led by Archbishop ireland.
Though identified, however, in his line of
thought with the conservatives, DR.. Conaty
i s on friendly terms with Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Keane, and
other leaders OF the liberals, and it is sup
posed for this reason that he is more ac-
ceptable to them than would have been
some others from whom selection might
have been made. The course of the new
rector and the more or less liberal or
conservative tendency of his administration
will be watched with more than ordinary
interest, not only here in Washington, bdt
everywhere in the United States.
Although DR.. Conaty comes to Washing
ton comparatively stranger and to take
the place OF one who by long residence and
amia bic qualities of character had endeared
himself to the people, irrespective Of de-
nominational affihation, he will enjoy
the hospitable welcome for which our
people have been justly famous. Credit
VIII be given him for the best of in
tentions with respect to the great institu-
ton of learning over which he has been
called to preside, and in the success OF
which general interest is felt because of
the fact that it is one of the first Of the
great national universities that will have
their being and their habitation in the Dis
trict of Columbia. When in the course Of
time, and in pursuance of that system Of
rotation which Pope Leo in his letter to
Bishop Keane indicated as the proper pol
icy, DR.. Conaty shall be called upon to sever
his connection with the university, may he
be able to look back upon his connection
with it and his residence among our peo-
pie with the same sense of satisfaction that
indwelt Bishop Keane when he was called
upon to leave.

move among civilians in a semi-tipsy con-
dition. Avoid rows but if you are forced
to use your weapons do it thoroughly" With
words like these ringing in the ears of the
German people, it is not surprising that
the sentiment against militarism is becom-
ing more pronounced.
The unwisdom of the emperor's course is
appreciable when it is considered that every
German is liable TO military duty for nearly
forty years OF his life, and is compelled to
serve for at least two or three years. This
fact goes far toward accounting for the
pride with whichAth German people look
upon their army and the pecuniary sacri-
fices they are ready at all times to make
for it,. But this very circumstance will also
cause the cmperor's words to crate more
harshly upon their ears, for he W ould erect
a barrier between the army and the people
from among whom 1t is recruited.
Germans are patient and ng-suffering,

The reaction in Japan Of the recent war
with China, he states, has been to give
great impetus to the development OF the
island in all directions. Railroads, agH-
culture commerce and education are max
ing wonderful strides toward the Western
standard. in the development Of liberal
government, too, Japan is leading all the
oriental nations. As it is, she has ner Diet,
which, as it holds the purse strings, prac-
tically controls all actions OF the govern
ment. But now tie Japanese have gone
step further, and are demanding cabinet
responsible TO the people, instead OF TO the
emperor, as formerly. OF course. those prin-
cipally concerned are opposing this move
rent, but IL looks. Mr.. Miller says, as IL the
change viii be made within year at most.
Another entirely different direction in
which the Japanese are advancing is in the
matter of business ethics. Heretofore the
foreign merchants have been loud in their
complaints as to the lax business methods
Of the houses in Japan with which they
trade An instance OF this recently occurred
when IA japanese house refused to accept
