to the slums i'll search of inspiration for
his brush. On one of these excursions
he stopped To watch tho efforts of a rag
Scd urchin who was disfiguring the
pavement of squalid street with IL
piece Of soft bluo stone. and, although
tho figures which the lad drew were
grotesquc, the artist was struck with
their originality and began to take an
interest i'll their development.
THAT'S right, my boyl Mako your
lines clear and never mind the details.
Champion! What You don't know how
to sketch that old mans head? Then
give mo tho chalk. I'll show you
The next moment tho enthusiastic
artist was on his knees, and with the
piece of stone had quickly drawn IL
clever picture. Before he could COM

stunning blow on tho head, and a
shrill female voice cried:

The New York Tribune" discusses
immigration bill now before Congress
which proposes as an educational test
the ability of the proposed immigrant
to read twenty-five words of our con-
stitution. The proposition is absurdly
preposterous and the wonder is that
any man capable of being elected to
Congress should be guilty of introduc
ing such a proposition. The Tribune"
in its sound discussion of the bill says:
If. indeed, the bestowal of American
citizenship means anything it means
equality for all, privileges for nome
! But this legislation seeks to draw a
distinction between the citizen of yes
terday and the one of the day before.
Now, as to the remedy. We claim
no patent of priority. We only renew
what we have urged for many years,
in and out of season, earnestly, con-
sistently, prayerfully. Let US raise the
value of the privilege of American cit
izenshlp not by driving a horde of ig-
norant immigrants indiscriminately in
to court for the purpose of putting
ballot into their hands but by doubling
and if need be by trebling the proba-
tionary period. At the end of such
period an educational test might be
both logical and effective; certainly not
before. In short, let up drop all this
tomfoolery about an educational test
with regard 10 immigrants and pass
instead a federal naturalization law
That would give us an intelligent bal

1t is scarcely conceivable to those
who have kept therunof developments
on the other side of the Pacific that any
member of the United States Congress
should stand up in the halls of the
national legislature i'll opposition to
so important a matter as the anneXa
ton of the Hawaiian islands to the
United States, important to the peace
and commerce of the United States as
we'll as important in adding valuable
productive territory to this country;
there can be but one motive for such
a course, the narrow, gasping attitude
of self interest or paid service to some
aggregation of capital that sees their
peculiar interests waning in the annex
alton of those islands and are ''for-
eign' enough to the interests of the
nation to see it destroyed that they
might secure questionable financial
advantage. As strategic measure
the United States will be almost Grim
inal in its dereliction should she fail
to secure the protector and advantage
that thepossession of those islands will
give her. As a matter of commercial
Importance the benefits to the United
States will be immeasurable, not from
be secured but the assistance they
will be to our commerce with Asia;
business that will, ere long. be of equal
or more Importance to this country
than that of Europe. And that time
will not be long in coming. In an able
article in the last North American"
by Chas. DENLY Jr., of the American
legation in China, he shows that there
is a great awakening among the Chin
ese, that a new era has set in and vast
and rapid improvements are already
begun. such as the construction of
mand for instruction in the English
language, the readjustment of com
mercial systei and of trade facilities
the awakenin-, to the fact that little.
deSpised Japan was more powerful in
arms than the great Empire of China
with her millions of subjects This
awakening in the Orient as we have in
dicated is not coming, it has come; it
has already begun wit an astonish-
inging impetus; it is gaining momen-
tum day by day till it offers the finest
field for enterprise now to be found.
All this is certain to create an enOr-
nous trade across the Pacific; within
the next ten or fifteen years, it is fair
TO predict, our trade with Asia will be
as great as it now is with Europe. |

our Pacific ports with Asiatic ports;

ties, would be the Hawaiian islands |

country tending to check distribution
of winter goods. Prices generally re-
main steady or tend upwards, except
for some grades of iron, and orders for
spring trade where received. are en-
couraging. Industrial activity is most
manifest in the west, where the de-
mand for iron is very large. A feat
ure of the week was the placing of an
order by one railroad for 100000 tons
of steel rails, with smaller orders ag-
gregating in the neighborhoOd of %
600 tons more Pig iron production
is now at an unprecedented rate, the
furnace capacity being estimated at
100000 tons a month. Prices and
stocks begin to show the influence of
this immense production. At the south
manufacturing activity is a feature
sales of iron being very heavy. A good
export demand for cotton and grain
at steady prices is a feature. At the
east q number of strikes against wag-
es reductions are reported or expected
in the cotton industry. Some woolen
mills, working on heavy mems wear
goods, are refusing Orders. their ca
