all these desirable things. taken out
there and put right down before the
eyes of the Chinese, would excite their
admiration and stimulate q desire to
have the same advantages. But we
pass through gate, through the high
stone wall that separates New from Old
Shanghai and find ourselves in the
midst of typical Chinese city-a city
making about the least pretense to de-
cency and cleanliness of any city In the
empire, says a writer in the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. We ask the citizens
of Old Shanghai If they would not like
to have clean water and clean streets
and houses with grass plots around
them, and they say: No. Our ances-
tors for thousands of years have dis
pensed with such things. and shall we
set up ourselves to be wiser and bet
ter than they?' l was told that the
citizens of New Shanghai offered to eX-

canals A committee from Old ShanS-
hal was sent over to examine the
water. Its members went back and re-
ported that they did not like it, that 1t
had no body to it like the water OF
their canals. and that it had neither
taste nor smell" 1t might be thought
that there would be some hone from

tain amount of inQuietude is plainly

1T is said that the Spanish commits

ression of the island of LuZon unless

IRE Philippine debt. AS to the indie
Iendence of the other islands, the CON-
nissioners are, it appears, to refuse
even to consider it.

to have strongly urged upon Mr. Day

holding all the islands. He described
At length the great advantages to the

Shall diploma or academic degree
be given for proficiency in the science
and art of agriculture? This question
is being considered in all seriousness
by the ancient English University OF
Cambridge. AS farmers cannot be
made by the use of libraries and labor
atories alone, it is understood that
degree would be conditioned on GER
tain term of residence and actual prac-
tice on farm. In America agricultur-
al colleges with model farms have
long been in operation, and although
still under challenge in some educa-
uonal circles, they are doubtless con-
tributing to raise the standard and dig
nifty of the farmers life. and to put
the most important OF all branches of
productive industry on basis of intel
ligence and self-respect, with reason

except in the taking off of a superfuous
member of society whose possibilities
have been exhausted by the dramatist
Or the novelist. All the world admires

hysteria which turns the hand of a

but spite and petulance. Even the man

1t comes with exceedingly poor
grace from Republicans to be talk
ing about Populist corruption. That
organization is absolutely reeking
with corruption from one end of
the state to the other. The fact is
the present administration is the
cleaneSt and best the state has ever
had. While many improvements,
suggested by 'hind>sight," could
be called to mind, the undisputed
fact remains that the present admin
istration is standing on heights never
yet attained by any Of its predeces'
sors. The chief substance of the
cry of corruption consists in very
few Populist legislators having beer
induced, either legitimately or lille
Ultimately, to vote on certain meas
ures the same way as the whole
body of Republicans. If these few
were corrupt what must have beer
