Grand Old Man while explaining the
situation leaves the inquiry why the
situation is allowed to exist and a very
painful question for the Tory ministry
it is.

For the Ladies.

In another part of this issue our lady
readers will find an advertisement set
ting forth at some length new fashion
feature which has recently been added
to our service. AS American ladies well
know the leading costumers of Europe
have made a practice of publishing
their new designs but twice year. On
May Sth their spring designs are given
to the public. and on Sept. Sth their
autumn styles. This allowing the week
or so that must elapse in transmission
across the ocean has been late in both
cases for the ladies of this country.
Many efforts have been made to in
duce the great European costumers to
give out advance designs for use in this
country. but, heretofore. without sue
cess. A year ago Mr.. Baldwin of the
firm of Rand, McNally & Co, went to
Europe for the express purpose of

today as the foremost designer of cos

look. Felix had just refused an offer
of $500 a week for an article and de-
sign from a very wealthy American
newspaper, and was not disposed to
consider any proposition of the kind,
although Mr. Baldwin had come pre-
pared to offer him considerably better
inducements. He finally agreed will

the other great costumers of Europe te

The appointment Of colored youth
to Annapolis recently created consid-
cradle amount of discussion. but 1t
was nowhere intimated that he might
not become a courageous and worthy
defender of his country. The fact that
colored men might become under pro-
per discipline and leadership patriotic
and capable troops was demonstrated
too clearly in the face of bitter oppo-
sition during the latter days of the
war to admit of a doubt at this time.
The monument dedicated on Memorial
day in Boston to the memory of Colonel
Robert G. Shaw and the colored troops
he led in one of the most gallant charges
of the Rebellion served to emphasize
that fact and will help to keep it in
mind, as it should be. especially when
the relations between the races are in
state of settlement and there is need
of both full knowledge and abundant
charity, respecting our colored neigh

The sugar trust didn't get that con-
tract to supply the Indian bureau with
the sugar it dispenses through the diff
ferent agencies. The contract amount
ing to $751; 900 went to foreign refiner
and the sugar will be imported. This
very forcibly calls attention to~the de-
claration respecting the amount of pro-
lection the sugar schedules afford the
American refiners. Indeed some of
those who affect to deny the evidence
that the foreign refiner is able to un-
der sell the American refiner now as
sumo that this contract was not wanted
by the sugar trust, which was able to
regulate the American bids, as losing
it would serve to hasten along the
sugar schedules: in ether words that
the trust preferred two birds in the
bush to one in the hand. But the sugar
trust has rivals even in this country
and it is not quite clear how the trust
could dictate all the bids that might
have been made, although it appears
only members of that combination did
the bidding, so far as American refin-
ers. were concerned.

The Chinese and Equal Rights.

Several days ago an announcement
was sent out from the headquarters Of
the Chinese Equal Rights League of
America, stating that convention
would be called by this league for next
November of all the leading American
lied Chinese in this country, the pur-
rose being to seek at the hands OF
Congress the repeal of the Geary law.
An eloquent appeal is made for assist
ance in this attempt to have the rights
of citizenship conferred upon Chinese.
At about the same time the newspapers
contained accounts of quite extensive
operations in the way of smuggling
attention to the need of some change
in the existing law or in its methods OF
enforcement A day or two later one
of the news dispatches told of steel
rail manufacturing plant that has
recently been established in China and
is running very successfully under the
management of an American.
This undertaking by the Chinese
League is not surprising. indeed it was
to have been expected. But in view of
the very probable disappointment
which awaits it's efforts il will be well
for its promoters to bear in mind that
the people of this country have rights
which they propose to maintain, one of
which is the right to work out their
i. stiny without the incubus that

Chinese accorded all the privileges now
granted to Caucasian immigrants. In
stead of widening the door to immigra-
ton new safeguards must be construct

Monaghan some of those which he now
enjoys. chiefly by fraud. must be taken
away from him.
It will be many generations before

has so demonstrated his ability to cope

pie of protection in our tariff regulations
must eventually be recognized by every
great political party. we believe Tae
japanese and Chinese under the direc-
ton of the Caucasian will be
greater menace to our industries than
are England or Germany or France.
The Monaghan is thrifty is untitlng
and patient as a worker and the Jap
anese especially have shown a wonder
full capacity for imitation. They do
not have the ability to originate as do
the Caucasians but they have the
capacity to perform tasks set for them
to do with less food and less pay than
it would be possible for a Caucasian to
do. Were they given free entree to this
country the survival of the fittest
might not be changed to the survival
of the unfittest but the struggle would
be complicated and intensified.

Gladstone Still Proddins the Lyon.

Russia, Germany and Austria are at
their old trade again as the foes of lib
erty and justice. France is tongue-tied
by her subserviency to the views of
Russia. Italy is paralyzed by internal
embarrassments, and England, which
ought to be acting under her own con-
victions, is content to sit at the table
with the three Emperors and register
their DEGREES. The guns of British
ironclads have been employed to shed
the blood of Cretans who were strug-
CLING against Turkish tyranny, and the
blood of 100000 Christians has drenched
the soil Of Armenia without a penalty
for the great assassin who shed it or Sc
curity against his repeating the crime
when he finds it convenient. All this is
| execrated by the people of Great Brit
ain
These are the words of Mr.. Gladstone

sugar stock did not make its bound up
ward until the day the proposed sched-
ules were publicly announced Is ample
proof that the secrecy imposed on the
committee was not violated. A very
different condition existed in 1894 when
there were not signs lacking to indicate
that secrecy had been violated and for
personal gain. Nevertheless, 1t was
gratifying to have Mr.. Aldrich make
