CHINA AND MACHINES.

Labor-s2ving machines are not wanted in China, it being claimed that men are cheaper
 Our Chinese friends have yet to dis cover that machines make men better and increase their capacity. By making men better and more capable, and therefore more ambitious, conditions improve In the days of slavery in this country men were cheapcr than machinery in the south, but the moral effect was not good. China is a sample of what cheapening does. The people there have besn kept in a condition of ignorance and incapacity, and are merely counted by heads instead of as individuals. When China becomes Americanized and Europeanized, it will begin to make great strides. It will take several centuries to make any showing of improvement in the men, tai and mechanical condition of the people, but it can be done. The Chi naman is an apt pupil and he is a faith full copyist, no matter what his sam pie may be. He is a good workman, and if he is directed by the brains of some abier man he cannot be excelled as a craftsman.
 The Chinamen have bright future awaiting them, when the civilization of their country is well under way They can do and they can do well, but they must have an inventive head to direct them at the start So long as labor in the bulk, and labor for the price of a cigar a day, can be ha6 by the thousand, no wonder labor-saving machines are in bad odor in China

STILL A GREAT SENATE.

There has been some great debating going on in the> United States senate upon the question of how we shall deal
 with the problem of the Philippines.
 Some of these speeches have been
 worthy of the historic days in that
 body when such men as Daniel Webs
 ter and Henry Clay stood as types of
 grand oratory and on high occasions
 not only spoke 'Fthe applause of listen
 ing senates to command' but when
 their efforts were em1balmed in the
 classical forensic literature of the
 world It is a commonly accepted idea
 that the days of grand oratOry" have departed in our congress, never to re-
 turn. It is probably true that, for req sons which we need not pause to recite, no speech delivered now in either
 branch of our national legislature-or out or it, for that matter-even if it fully measured up to the standards of Webster or Clay and the other great parliamentary figures of the early days of our century, would command either the wide contemporaneOus attention that was given to the supreme efforts of those early masters of the art of ora tory, or be preserved as a monumental achievement in that art, as was the case with many of the speeches deliv- cred in congress when we were small CT people Now the individuality of men, and the effect of any personal act, which in earlier times were more con oootrotod oro ot+on,ro+od bu avnanciOu over a vastly increased territory and population As to the matter of psr- sCnal reputation for congressional speeches it is impossible that any per fcrmance Of that kind nowadays should confer such luster upon a speaker as one of no greater merit would have done in the old regime. In those days the efforts of only a few great leaders of parliamentary debate were laid be- fore the country, and this was done in the full text The public attention was not only as a rule enlisted in advance but was kept often for weeks after their delivery anxiously awaiting their publication. In these days of omniv- erous news consumption it is a rare exception indeed when a speech In con- gress, however great, is honOred in the public press by more than brief and unsatisfactory abstract. And it is only those comparatively few persons who have the opportunity and time to per use the full reports of the proceedings of congress as printed in the daily off, cial Record" who know how excellent from an intellectual standard is the general quality of the speeches deliv- cred in roth houses, and how frequent 1y they rise to as high a level as they did in any former day.

THE MERCHANT MARINE.

A notWorthy provision of Senator liar mas shipping bill is that which eX- terdS to other vessels owned by Amer 1can citizens provision similar to the o2e under which the foreign-built steamships New York and Paris were admitted to registry.
 There is no douEt that the law was wise. Under it the St. Louis and the St. Paul were built, and both they and their fOreign-built mates served us most u-efully es auxiliary cruisers during the war with Spain. Last year, too, congress admitted about 10000 tons of foreign shipping, while the war and navy departments bought over twice as much In the latter cases there was special national, emer- gency that required departure from cur ordinary policy; but in the act of 1891 the principle recognized was that we must help at Onct American ship owners and American ship-builders. The significant fact has been pointed cut in official reports that in the six years fir m 1885 to 1891 the Norddeut- s@her Lloyds expended $7,5000,O00 in G. rman yards against S9,000,C00 in British, but in u e next six years it ex pended $16,0O0.0OO in German 10 only $!,500,00O in British yards
 Cur Government authorities, in con- sider 2 the differences of cost for con- struction and operation between American and British cargo steam ships, have put this at about 1 cent per ton in favor of the British for each 100 knots run. On vessels of that class, 1t further { D IS, Ia 1an gives b1untJ of IA cents, Italy one of 11a cents and France one of 2.1 cents, so that all would overcome a difference greater than that which exists in our case as compared with Great Britain MT. bill provides a graduated D an Cf compensation fer American vessels engaged in foreign commerce, the amount depending on the clements of size and speed.-New York Sun

AS A POLITICAL ECONOMIST.

Colonel Bryan's lion grasp of finan- clal and economic subjects was eXhib- ited C3nspicuously at Cincinnati lasi week. He boasted to the chamber of commerce that he had voted in con- gross against the anti-cption law and spoke of that attempt to letter trade as an effort for "equal rights

BULLDOG AND A COLLAR.

The immense fox fur collars which are so very fashionable just now have heads with glaring eyes and ferocious lccking teeth that are so lifelike that they ara positively startling. Yester- day afternoon two young ladies, who were wearing the newest ones of silver fox, were standing looking in a jewel CTS window on Chestnut street, when one of them took off her collar and held it in her hand. Down the street came saurtering along a bull pup with one eye open for trouble. He saw his natural enemy within his grasp. He grasped it, gave it terrific shaking, and before one could count three, un- mindful Of the shouts of policemen CT various missiles shied at him by men and boys, or the tears of the young lady, who saw her cherished collar whisked around the corner Of Eleventh street by a dog that hadn't had so much fun for many q day-Philadel- phia Record.

TWO BOYS.
One Was a Case" and the Other Was
 q Pattern

The Rev. W. V. Morrison, D. D., sends us a communication of much more than ordinary interest He says that in a recent number of the Chris tian Advocate reference is editorially made to MT Pangborn as ''the only man who ever whipped Dewey" Ut seems" says Dr. Morrison, "that Pang- born, fresh from college, had taken a school which had long been in revolt and young Dewey had been lsader of a crowd which had made it very unpleas- ant for several young teachers" MT. PangboTn says: ''The first opportu- nity I whipped the future rear admiral with a rawhide till he begged for mercy" This, it is claimed, made man of Dewey Dr. Morrison pro ceeds: 50 frequently are such eases brought to light and spoken Of appTov- ingly that many a boy is led to think that if he is ever to amount to anything he too must be insubordinate in some way and be thrashed severely, and that from this period he can begin to rise into notoriety and lead an honorable and useful life''
 In our editorial this implication did not exist. We used the incident to show that insubordinate boys should be subdued, and that the subiection of them make men of them
 Now comes the gist of Dr. Morrison s letter, which it gives us exceeding pleasure to publish. We quote his words:
 T wish to speak 9 word Of commen- dation for another class of youth, the well-behaVed, exemplary, and com mendable, who illustrate the fact that they too have before them an open door to eminenca. More than forty years ago, when a student in college and obliged to earn my own support. I se- cured school in Niles, o. This school also had been long in revolt, and the teacher who preceded me had been obliged to leave before the end of his term. l also had much heroic work to perform on young lads not one cf whom ever came to eminence. There was, however, in that school for two years youth of model deportment- obedient to every rule of the school, neat in personal appearance. studious ln his habits, always well prepared in his recitatiyns, and a general favorite. No one eXcelled him in uprightness and manliness. No rawhid,a was need ed on him. Yet the hightest honors awaited him. His name was William McHinley, now president of the United States"

,l Nothing would 50 unite the American people ill a determination to take and hold the Philippines as a confirmation of the suspicion now said to exist that some foreign nation is conniving with the Filipino leader and urging him to hold out against American control The protests sent to President Mckinley from Paris, Hong Kong and London show that the insurgents are maintain ing juntas in European capitals and perhaps have enlisted the secret sup port Of some of the powers which are known to be at heart unfriendly to our advent in the east.
