The resignation of the Austrian min.
istry and the adjournment of the Rcichs-
rath by imperial order, while not an un.
expected outcome of the disorder and
violence that have prevailed in the lower
house of the Reichsrath, make very
grave situation, threatening the dis
ruption of the dual monarchy of
Austria Hungary, created thirty years
ago. As all are aware who have fol-
lowed the daily account of events
in the Reichsrath, race antagonism Is
at the bottom of the trouble, an antago-
nism as bitter and uncompromlsing as
exists anywhere on earth. The popula-
tions of both Austria and Hungary con-
sist of a diversity of races, the Germans
being the most numerous in the former
country and the Magyars dominating In
the latter. The German language is the
official tongue in Austria.
A Encouragement of treaties between
Austria and Hungary is made every ten
years and this year there has been n
controversy as to the share which each
country should pay toward the expenses
of the imperial government. In order to
obtain the support of the Czechs, or Bo-
hemians, the Austrian prime minister
proposed to give their language equal
official standing with the German. This
aggravated the race hostility of the Ger
mans and set in motion n conflict that
has come pretty close to fomenting rev.
olution and which NAV vet have the
gravest consequence. 1t has been
abundantly demonstrated that the Ger
mans will not tolerate the proposed con-
cesSion to the Bohemian language.
While broken into factions on other
questions they are a unit as to this one.
If new ministry should yield to this
German element it will certainly encoun-
ter the antagoniSm of the Czechs, who
numerically rank next to the Germans
in the empire and exert Il political influ-
ence corresponding with their numbers.
1t is more than probable that in such a
case this element would be able to COM
mand the sympathy and support of
other elements not friendly to the Ger
mans.
The AustrO-Hungarian empire has sur
vived a number of crises and may safely
go through the present one, but it is
evident that wise and prudent states
manShiD is demanded by the eXigenCy.

Before the passage Of the Dingley bill
American importers resorted to their
customary tactics of laying in an I'M
mense stock to evade the higher duties
anticipated under the new law. Natur-
ally while these stocks were being used
up by the trade receipts at the customs
houses ranged low, but already the inn
porters have commenced to buy goods
for immediate delivery aud from this
time on the revenue from duties on i'm
ports may be expected to increase
steadily. But for the fact that the new
tariff law served to increase the gen
eral prosperity of the country the goods
imported in advance would have lasted
much longer.

BiIIy,s Garb of Glory.

The descriptions of the garb donned by
Hon William Jennings Bryan, leading juven-
lie in the melodrama of THE Silver King"

ballship last Tuesday cannot be trusted. In
some respects they are intrlnslcally inn
probable. No good man need refuse to be.

MORE COMBINATIONS.

Reports are current of the projected
organization of two powerful industrial
trusts, each with enormous capital be-
hind it. One of these is the consolidation
of steel billet and steel tube manufac-
lures and the other a combination of
wire and wire rod interests. 1t is said
that the former of these will have a cap
ital of $100,000000, while the capital of
the latter will be very large. The first
mentioned of these projected combina-
tions has not yet taken form, but accord
ing to the Iron Age, which is excellent
authority, the progress made in the ne
gotiatiOnS for creating n wire and wire
rod trust is such as to practically assure
its consummatiOn. That paper says OF
the undertaking that it is by far the
greatest and most far-reaching recorded
in the history of the iron trade.
The existence of these mOnOpolistc
projects emphasizes the demand for
some further legislation by congress
looking to the repression of these gigan-
tic combinations, which appear to be be-
yond the reach of existing law against
trusts The limitations of the antitrust
law of 1880 having been pointed out by
the supreme court the plain duty of con-
gress is to supply additional legislation
that will be effective in breaking up the
monOpoles, If it be within the authority
of that body to do so. The country eX.
poets some clear and definite expression
on this subject in the annual message
of President Mckinley.

The railroads feign surprise at the
order of the state railway commission
for the restoration of carload stock rates.
Why feign surprise? Is it not notorious
that the reform fusion railway commits

NatlonaI university Project.


Tie old scheme for establishing a national
university at Washington seems to be as
sumlng something like a definite form At
least committee has been organized to raise
money. That such an institution would DO
some good Is undeniable. II is a serious
question. however, whether the disadvantages
would not outweigh the advantages. This
multiplication of universities has been great
evil. There are more of them now than we
can properly supUort. Furthermore, the IN
the sort is not apt to have happy results.
Even II the scheme Is carried through with
out government help, the illusions OF the
projectors 10 the American ideas" which
should be taught suggest that false form OF
patriotism cultivated by jingoes OF course.
''American ideas" ought not to be an objec-
tlonable phrase But circumstances have,

EDUCATING THE CHINESE IN AMERICA.

EDUCATING THE CHINESE IN AMERICA.
The project for the establishment of
schools in San Francisco and other
American cities for the education of
Chinese youth in both English and
Chinese languages the schools to be sup
ported by the Chinese government illus
trates progress on the part of n people
generally supposed to be centuries be-
hind the times. 1t will be remembered
that after the war, Ii Hung Chang, the
viceroy, whose influence in China seems
to be almost unlimited, visited Europe
and America gathering information for
use for the benefit of his people. On
his return home 1t was announced that
the English language would be taught
in the colleges of China and that ex-
pertinent stations would be operated
there after the American manner with
American instructors in agriculture.
This idea of Chinese support for schools
in the Chinese colonies in the United
States is undoubtedly an outgrowth of
the new educational policy entered upon
at home.
MUCH OI Tie Oululll W lIlt
Chinese in the United States comes from
the fact that the emigrants to this coun-
try are chiefly drawn from the lower and
illiterate classes. Vice and ignorance
are prevalent among the Chinese in
America and no amount of missionary
work seems to have been able to change
the situation. In the San Francisco
colony of Chinese, for instance, it is ad-
mitted that form of slavery exists and
that hundreds of girls are sold into
slavery in childhood and bought and
exchanged like chattels. 1t is said that
the sale of boys is also indulged in to
limited extent, to be trained up as Grim
nals for the work Of the highbinder
societies.
If the Chinese government establishes
schools for Chinese residents Of Ameri-
can cities and succeeds in educating and
uplifting them, as much may be done
in this way to raise the standing of the
Chinese empire in the estimation of the
world as in any other way.

A Rising Scale in ENpositions.

The indications are that the Omaha EXpos-
tion next year will be larger and finer than
either of the two big shows Of like nature
which have been held in the south since the

vantage OF better times and OF still more
notable development OF the arts and sciences,

territory that none of its European
neighbors would object to its action.
