Rulings Affecting Ministers, NOtaries
and Others.

Col. James D. Brady, collector OF
internal revenue, has made the fol
lowing important rulings:
Notaries public upon qualifying to
practice must affiX 50-cent stamp
to their bonds.
Ministers of the gospel when they
qualify before the courts to perform
marriage ceremonies must af1ix
stamps to the value of fifty cents to
their qualification papers.
When liquor dealers are authorized
to sell liduor, and give bond to con-
duct their business in a proper man
ner, they must place 5O-cent stamps
on said bonds.
Many notaries who have already
qualified will, under these rulings,
have to place stamps on their bond
before they can be regarded as le-
gally qualified.

No Room Here For Anarchists.

No anarchist crime has ever thrilled
Europe and the world with such a senti-
ment of horror as that which was
aroused by the murder of the empress
of Austria. For other outrages of this
description some clearly discerned po-
litical motive could be discovered. The
taking off, for example, Of the Gear
Alexander, the liberator Of the serfs,
was applicable. He had just refused the
demand for a free constitution for Rus
STA and otherwise offended the nihilists.
Carnot's murder was associated with
certain repressive and punitive meas
ures which had recently been adopted
by the French chambers in regard to
anarchist activities. In this last exhibit

Reclus, the logic of whose instruction
is ever assassination or any other vic.
lence which will shake society, lead to
such deeds, it seems clear that the in
tellectual chiefs ofEanarchy are as guilty
as their fatuous tools. 1t is almost un-
fortunate that the freest countries, such
as Switzerland, Great Britain and the.
United States, are compelled to harbor
these people by the very spirit and form
of their laws. When rats leave one
house, they swarm to another. 1t is
greatly to be hoped that if the anarch.
lists are driven from continental Europe
they will not come to enlarge the swarm
already in this country.

Chinese Scholarship.

Chinese Scholarship.
All of us have heard much about the
lofty esteem bestowed on scholarship in
China and that it is the passport to the
highest honors of the empire. 1t is worth
while to examine into just what the
Celestials mean by scholarship. In II
sense no home staying Chinaman is
ever educated. The most erudite man
is absolutely ignoraxt Of the current
problems Of the world, both in practice
and theory, unless knowledge is knocked
into his skull by contact with foreign
ers. Yet the race is unique OF one side
in it's scholarly spirit-that is, in it's
reverence for Chinese classical litera-
ture; in it's devotion to a style stepped
in classical allusion, and in the ardor
with which candidates attempt the ex-
animation, year after year, even to old
age, in the hope Of acquiring an hon
orary degree. 1t was the passionate re-
vulsion of feeling which accompanied
repeated failure and finally curdled into
hate of the whole system which in
spired Hung Tsu Suen, the Hakka
schoolmaster, to teach the new religious
and political cult on which the terrible
TAPPING rebellion was founded.
The Chinese system Of teaching is
based entirely Oh memory and the alb
normal reverence for the dead sages.
All that needs to be said has been said,
according to this theory Of education.
The boy learns by rote and does not un-
derstand what he %recites in a mechanical
singsong. AS he grows older and comes
before the examination boards for pro-
motion memory of the sayings Of the
great dead authors and periphrastio re-
statement of them in a great variety Of
forms, from which original comment is
excluded by the lack of real intellectual
knowledge and acumen, still furnish
the test Of his ability, which opens the
door to political promotion.
1t can be readily seen then that what
is called knowledge is a mountain mass
of rubbish in resonant phrases. This
furnishes the political equipment of the
mandarin official. The scientific spirit,
the wish to investigate, the sense of the
unknown, which have been at the bot
tom of all western progress, are absolute.

petrifaction of intellect is the root of

crown prince, a few years ago, under
circumstances which startled the worlG
with a genuine sensation the death by
the flames of the Duchesse d'Alencon,
her sister, at the Paris bazaar fire
these and other family misfortunes had
left Empress Elizabeth one of the most
melancholy of women. Perhaps she
would have welcomed death, though
not perhaps at the ignoble hand Of the
assassin, could she have known it was
so near. But all those things which had
made Empress Elizabeth peculiarly the
object Of general sympathy made no
difference to his impartial stab. And so
was quenched the life of one Of the
most brilliant and picturesque of mod
ern crowned heads, yet whose career
had been singularly innocent of private
or public cause of blame. The assassin's
stiletto seems to have been guided by
accident or caprice, and any other per-
sonage of exalted place would possibly
have satisfied his lust for blood.
1t has been proposed that as a conse.

Europe should unite in such uniform
repressive measures as would free that
section of the world from their presence
and mischief working hate. Just how
this can be done is difficult to perceive,
