 RHi 4 AGAh2

The Washington Post says: IL is difficult to believe that Mir. Mckinley seriously proposes to open negotia. tions with great Britain for another treaty of arbitration Leaving aside all consideration of the fate of the Olnpy- -Pauaeefote convention, and ignoring the outbnrst of inteli- gent public opinion which the dis cussion of that instrument eicited, it would seem incredible that an ad- ministratiou, freshly installed by the popular vote, would propose a measure so mauifestIg disaPproyed by popular sentiment. The state ment has been positively made, however, and we are bound to as. sume that f has at least some slight basis of authority
 We shall not at this time recapit- ulate the arguments against a for maj treaty of arbitration either with England or with any other European power. Time enough for that when we have before us the details of the newsattempt to bind us to some thing we have always accepted and advocated. It is hardly conceiya- ble that the new treaty will at all re- semble the one so recently rejected by the Senate, and, further than that, we arc left to the merest guess work as regards it's character and purport. We feel moved to say, however, in an entirely general way, that Mr. Mckinley will be wasting his time and that of Che Senate should he conclude to revive the question Of treaty Of arbitration between Great Britain and the United States, for, apart from all other considerations, there would still remain the fact that any at tempt to bind two nations to a policy to which they are both al ready pledged must be regarded by sensible people as absurdly mawk- ish and theatrical
 The only common sense view Of the matter is that Great Britain and the United States are solemnly and finally committed to the princi- pie of arbitration. If the promises and professions they have made are not enough to hold them when oc- casion shall arise, why resort to the silly and hypocritieal ostentation of compact which has no foundation in eandm' or sincerity.

 Woman and the Naturalist.
 To study woman from a geological standpoint may seem distasteful. as lacking in sentiment, but it is probably the only rational method. Dr. W. K. Brooks of the Johns Hopkins university discusses the conditions of the woman in the past
 Primitive man WAS no doubt an ugly, feroaious brute, but there is evidence that primitive woman admired his fe. rooity and was quite ready to abandon him and follow more ferooious brute with resignation and even with exulta- tion. If the woman of the heroic age was in constant danger Of lifelong slav- cry under eoVetous and ablebodied neighbors. her menfolk were, according to the "Odyssey," ill no less dBnger of furnishing bloody meal for dogs Any delicate and refined woman of today would find the common life of woman of the dark ages uncomfortable. The women of Che dark ages were not over. refined, nor, for that matter, were those in the time of good Queen Bess, and the life of either of those periods would be misery and wretchedness to the men of the nineteenth century as well as to the women.
 Those who talk of the subjection of woman to mans dominion, and her emancipation from his tyranny, forget that during historical times the whole human race has improved in the virtues of self restraint and humanity, and that, even if there has as yet been no material progress i'll disinteregtedness. selfishness has unquestionably become more enlightened and broad minded. h. stead of being something wrested from hard hearted man, the improvement of the. condition of woman is only one as. pect of that progress which benefits all --the young. the mature, the aged women and men alike. Man has not de- liberately worked out his destiny. He has been shaped and controlled by inf1ur ences of which he has been for the most part totally ignorant-in6uencea which are purely natural, shining like the suu on the evil and the good, and descend. Ing like rain on the just and the unjust and woman. like man. has had her parl in the whole history of our raca.

Domestic Economy In Wong Seeks Taay
 Chinatown Home.
 Tic smallest residence in San Fran cisco is, af course, located in Chinatown. It is not, 2oweyer, at the end of dark alley in a daMp cellar. In many of thesa nre some vely diminutive Ioosting places, but they ara elegant homes and flats compared to Wong Seeks private residence on tho corner of Waverly place and Clay street.
 Wong's home is about as big as hia skin---a trifie larger, of course. to allow for his wooden shoes that go to bed with him, but the difference is not material Wongs home is box nailed to brick wall over the fruit stand where Wong makes living that would not keep g white baby fat,
 Directly epposite--that is to say, on the southeast corner of Waverly place and Clay street-there is another China. man who has residence similar to that of Wong But his is larger than Wong's s whether owing to larger wooden shoes or to just what Is not known. Bnt it measures fully foot more in length and is an inch or so moro in thickness.
 The dimensions of Wong's private residence--he lives in it all by himself ---are feet in length, 3 feet in width, with q ceiling height of feet clear oi the gas fixtures For pillow Wong has e 90 cent oil stove, and in the morn. ing he cooks his breakfast on his pillow. He uses q rope ladder to get into hit home, and when he has tucked himself in for the night he pulls up his ladder and is safe.
 Wong is saving money and will soma day take the steamer for China and oart off 200 or 800 American gold dollars to the slums of Hongkong. where he will live like prince. San Francisco Gall

4 DISGUSTING SHAM.

It was stated in a Washington dispatch the other day that Republi can leaders were rejoicing over the discovery that while pension ex- aminiug boards could not be changed by the head of the bureau, the law permitted the appointment of as many boards as were thought neces- sary. In the light of this discovery it has been decided to appoint Republican boards wherever there were Democratic boards and turn over the work to the former
 There is cause for more rejoicing in the ranks of the faithful Tn the report that Major Mckinley has de -cided EeeFsess iiiaae the Civil Service Commission, With this body re- organized to the taste of the admin istration, the work of circumvent- ing the civil service law and Of over throwing all that has been accom- plished for civil service reform will be done quietly and easily. There will be no one to cry out against the violations of the law.
 In the Republics Washington correspondence attention is called to the beautiful sentiments uttered by Major Mckinley in his inaugura- ton speech on the subject of civil service reform. He boasted of the part he had performed in passing the law and pledged his administra- tion to its faithful enforcement.
 Public attention might also have been directed to the Republican platform and to Republican da- nunciations of the Democratic dec.
 aration against life tenures. Dur ing the campaign the Republicans posed as the champions and defend CTS of civil service reform and po- litical purity against the assaults of ungodly spoilsmen.
 The contrast between the cam paign championship of civil service reform and the administrations underhand assault upon it is in structive. The contrast between inc honest declaration of the Demo erats and the false pretenses of the Republicans should not escape the people. There never was a more conspicuous example of sneaking hypocrisy in politics than is found in the profession and the practice of the Republicans with regard to civil service reform. The whole thing has been debased to the level of a disgusting sham - Republic.

It is believed that Japan will carry her protest to the extent of war, in which case she may find an opportunity of ascertaining the differance between American soldiers and sailors and the poor apologies for humanity over whom she gained Ter late victory.
 That the Senate of the United States will confirm the treaty made with tho Island Of Hawaii there is nc doubt, in fact there is no opposi- ton except from a small eoterie of gentlemen who desire to continue the Western Sugar Trust.
