While other nations are sending war
ships to China, this country sends one
of her young men to be professor of min
ing engineering and geology at the Uni

In Chinese affairs is not dramatic, like
the interference of Germany and the
rest, but who will say that the hammer
Of the geologist is not better, if not
mightier, than the mailed fist.

Popular government, that is, 'the gov
eminent of the people, for the people,
and by the people, Is not desired by a
large class of persons at the present
day. Although many think that they
are governing themselves, and that this
is the only fright and proper way; and
though they wish the democratic spirit
to pervade all civil and religious insd-
buttons, yet they give themselves into
the hands of natural leaders who en-
trap them by means of these very 1nsti-
tutions. In national affairs the right to
vote is firmly demanded but carelessly
used. In societies, religious, social and
scientific; in meetings Of business men,
of laboring men, or Of farmers, we
clamor for democratic methods and
then do nothing until a competent au-
tocrat has duly entangled us in the
meshes Of diplomacy and parliament
tary law, and then, under the impress
sion that we are protecting the rights
Of the minority, we allow ourselves to
be drawn about at his will, having in
the meanwhile a great admiration for
democratic institutions and the ease
and efficiency of popular government.
We may except, perhaps, times of oc-
casional uneasiness as we are dragged
over rough places that Interfere with
our personal desires, but we soon forget
these and praise the net which serves
| as hammock to cradle our Incidence.
We do not have popular government
because we are too Lazy to use 1T.

ranted. The local market advanced at the opening
in sympathy with London. The bear movement OF
Monday which came far short OF realizing the ex-
pectations OF its engineers, abandoned yester-
day. and there was extensive covering by the
shorts, which aided In keeping up prices during
most OF the day. Uncertainty was the prevailing
sentiment. and VIII be until arrives OF the re-
suit OF the pending naval engagement: but the
belief that when the opposing squadIons do come
into collision the Spaniards will be worsted Is so
strong that the average investor is inclined to
part with his holdings just yet. The trading, there
