In telling of the children of Ch:na, the
Rev. S. G. Miner, a missionary in Foo
chow, speaks first Of the boys. One
fourth of the children of the world are
born to Chinese parents, and the god
dess Mother is the most diligently wor-
SHIPPED, so that they all may be boys.
But this is a hard thing for even so
great goddess to control, and many
girls are born. When the news of a
birth is announced everybody asks,
just as they do in America, 'Is it a
boy or a girl?" If it is a boy all the
friends Of the parents call at once to
offer congratulations and presents; but
if the baby is girl they extend SYM
pathy. The kindest remark that the
disappointed mother ever hears under
such circumstances is, "Well, a girl is
worth something" Every city has
baby tower built on its outskirts, which
is the burying place of infants. Not in
frequently a newly-born girl is drown
ed, left on a missionary's doorstep,
thrown into the street, or, before she
stops breathing, is tossed into this
death-house.

1t seems to be the general opinion
that Bismarcks secret understanding
with Russia was known to the Emperor
Of Austria and Count Kalnoky before
1890, and that the information in the
first place came from Russia. 1t is
pointed out that when Prince Bismarck
was dismissed, no secret was made in
Vienna Of the general relief, and even
the acknowledged organs of the foreign
office openly said that with Count Ca
privi an era of frankness, sincerity,
and plain dealing had begun in the re-
lations Of the two allied powers. Less
than a year ago, according to the New
York Evening Post, the Austrian EN-
peror is said to have declined to re-
'ceive a member of the Bismarck fam
lily in the followings words: 81 am not
only an Emperor, but man Of honor,

The usefulness of the Senate of Colo

The usefulness of the Senate of Color
ado as legislative body has been Sc
riously menaced, it appears, by the
presence of young and beautiful wom-
en-, and the Senators have been forced
to take drastic measures of Self-protec-
ton. This action has been precipitated
by the hopeless imbecility of some of
the more susceptible members and has
taken the form Of absolute banishment
Of all women from the Senate chamber.
When the inexorable purpose of the
Solons became apparent an effort was
made to effect compromise on prom
ise by the women that they would never
enter the Senate unless heavily yelled.
But the Senators who were banded to-
gether to defend their impressionable
associates would not yield. to these
tempting Establishments. The decree
was made to include even the women
stenographers who have been wont to
preserve for posterity and others the
oratorical graces of the Senator's 1t
looks as if there were some sinister
purpose back of all this that is not yet
revealed. What is the Senate going to
do Of which it is ashamed?

About the Next Congress.

There appears 70 be a tOlerable GER
tainty after the choosing of United
States Senators last week that the Re
publicans will be able to pass a new
tariff bill in both branches of the next
Congress without making concessions
to the advocates of the free coinage Of
silver. This probably also means an
extra session Immediately after the in
auguration of Mckinley and some ex-
citing political debates a Washington
during the spring and early summer
The Republicans viii be able to mus
ter One-half the membership of the
Senate on the side of fresh tariff tinker
ing. but it is doubtful whether they can
do likewise on any purely financial
measure. The chances are that they
will not try to meddle with the cur
rency for some time to come. What the
country has to contemplate, therefore.
just now, is the McKinleyizing of the
customs duties once more and a do
nothing policy as to the money ques-
ton, with all sorts of possibilities in the
way of talk about foreign affairs-arbi-
tration with Great Britain and other
powers, the recognition of the Cubans,
etc.
The prospect is not a very cheerfu1
one, but it would undoubtedly be
worse if the Republican majority in the
Senate were working one on financial
issues. Then we would undoubtedly
have to witness a serious effort to re-
tire the greenbacks and turn over the
entire paper currency Of the country to
the national bankers without considera-
ton for the masses and their interests.
The trusts and mOnOpolies in the
manufacturing field will promptly get
their reward for aiding in the securing
of the Presidency for Mckinley. The
bankers will not be 50 fortunate They
will have to wait until the party bosses
satisfy themselves as to how much the
people will stand in the way of class
legislation.

Wyoming's game warden is credited
with the statement that the number
Of elk wintering in the Jackson's Hole
country is greater than for many pre-
vious years. A conservative estimate
fixes the number at 10000. They are
on every hill and in every valley, and

their mothers. Every morning thou
sands are seen travelling from the great
swamps along the Snake River to the

says: 81 recently gazed upon sight
which far surpassed anything that
had ever seen, and it utterly astonished
and amazed me. For distance of six
miles herd Of elk was stretched out

as flinted ice 1 know there were $4,000

A Bad Selection

The selection of John Sherman ror'
Secretary of State means that a halt is
to be called in diplomatic aggressive-i
ness. Sherman is nOtoriously cOnser-:
vative in matters affecting our rela-..
tiOnS with other countries. He may be;
patriot in q way, but the acute sense
of national honor and the proud senti-
ment of national pride is lacking III
him. He is cold-blOOded to clammi-
ness, and there is no reason to believe
that he would show either an aggres-
sive or an unyielding spirit in his deal
ings with other powers. The Dispatch
only yesterday called attention TO his.
physical condition, a good reason why
he should not be called to so important
a trust. To-day we say that he lacks
the mental essentials, and that ne will
prove a failure. In his life he is, or has
been, a great statesman, though one
with an eye single to his own interests,
but he has not been trained to diplO-
macy. His bent is in another direction
altogether
The indications now are that unless
the Cuban war is brought to close be-
fore March nothing will be done for
the insurgents after that date. Mr..
McKinley's attitude toward them is un-
known, and the section of his platform
anent Cuba can be easily evaded. Sher-
man has never been enthusiastic in his.
advocacy of the Monroe doctrine and
he is known to oppose territorial eX-
tension.
Mark Hanna will probably go to the
Senate, where he will become the Gd-
ministration's mouthpiece. Two worse
things for America. short of war or pes
thence, could not happen than the ele-1
vation of the ancient Sherman to be
prime minister and the Cleveland labor
crusher to be Senator. How would
Mark Hanna look rattling around il
old man Thurman's shOes?-Chicago
