An international Argument

There was an odd little conversation al a
New York hotel the ether day, and a moral
is attached TO it for the wise observer. An
educated Chinese gentleman was staying
in the house, and a fellow guest said to
him, not very tactfully, it must be confess
ed: Here is another account OF American
missionaries mobbed and killed in your
country"
The Chinese gentleman said he was sorry,
but religious intolerance was not confined
entirely to the Chinese; and then he made
a remark or two about the mobbing OF
Mormon missionaries in this country, and
said that Christianity was as repugnant
to the Chinese as Mormonism to the major
ity OF the people Of America. He also made
the statement that religious equality was
the policy in China for many centuries be-
fore it obtained ia America.
The listener was somewhat taken aback
at this. and before he got his breath the
suaye Mongolian proceeded TO tell him
about the colonial laws Of the thirteen
States. which forbade non-religious per-
sons 20 hold Office and denied civil equal
ity 10 'Papists," Unitarians and people Of
other sects different from that OF the ma
jority Of the people. The unfortunate part
Of ii from the Americans point OF View was
that the Asiatic contestant was so well
read He gave chapter and verse from
standard American authorities for every
allegation he made and left his antagonist
absolutely dumb for want OF material for
a reply.
The moral Of all this is refrain from
Phariseeism." IT is not necessary to be
a Pharisee in order 10 be a patriot though
many people seem TO think it is. man
may sincerely believe his own country,
his own customs, his own religion, to be
the best possible for himself, and the best
absolutely for all mankind, and yet recog-
nize the right Of others to maintain their

can keep in the open to outmaneuvre and
Outmarch the British. as Private Mulvaney
would say, from day to devil" An army
mostly consisting Of foot regiments, NOV
ing slowly, and necessarily with much i'm
pedimenta where railway facilities are
lacking or wrecked, is in principle no
match for an equal force of mounted in
fanUy, able to refuse battle except on
ground and at times Of its own selection.
In calculating on a given force of men as
adequate to the suppression of the Beers,
if begins to look as if the British Govern
ment might have done well to provide an
equal number of horses or mules. We do
not mean that the seventy-odd thousand
troops who viii be in South Africa by
Christmas viii not ultimately accomplish
the object they are expected to; but we are
very much of opinion that il will be twice
as tedious a business as it would be if half
the special army corps were cavalry and
mounted infantry.

The Mystery of 1t.

Readers Of The Times viii have noticed
that, among all the prominent American
newspapers, whose views on the outra-
geous persona. assault upon Admiral Dew
ey we published yesterday morning, the
only discordant note was piped by the
"Chirago Times Herald" But for the fact
that the journal in question poses and is
widely accepted as the personal organ of
President Mckinley. its editorial views on
this or any other matter would not be like
ly TO attract attention. But in the circum-
stances they do. and it is not too much to
say that the fact should be one to occasion
regret and modification in the highest
quarter The climax reached by Mr..
Kohlsaat of the Times Herald, in his
article on the Dewey home transfer, repre-
sents a view which could not be accepted
as inspired. or as voicng the sentiments
of the Administration, without necessarily
grave reflections upon one who ought to be
considered superior to the vices of envy
and jealousy and all petty meanness. This
is the Kohlsaat climax;
Mr. Crawford. to whom Admiral Dewey con-
viewed the house and lot. is the only one who
Admiral Dewey and received SO from Mrs.
Dewey Thus he made s. out OF the deed that
has destroyed the most popular hero OF cur day.
The deed has not destroyed the most
popular hero of our day" On the con
trary, it has given him an opportunity to
know how close he is to the hearts of the
American people If for a day he was
shocked and panied by the hyena-lke at
tacks Of a yellow sheet or so. and by the
unmannerIy criticisms of "Vox Populi,
"SeneX. Many Readers, and "Old Sub
scriber," or such contributors. in the col
umHs Of a seandal-loying survival of the
bucolic press era in local history, it was
only for a day. For when the country at
large had chance to say its word the re-
spectacle press and people straightway
made the welkin ring with shouts of APP
plause. confidence. and affection
It is much to be deplored, but remarks
of the SORT INDUCED in by the recognized
organ OF the Administration in Chicago
VIII unquestionably be interpreted as con
veyipg the idea that, for some concealed
political reason. there is a disposition
somewhere to destroy the standing of Ad-
miral Dewey with the American people
Why such design should exist is ques-
ton which is principally OF interest to per-
sons who may entertain it. The national
opinion and sentiment disclosed within the
past three days is sufficient evidence that
it cannot be effected.

VIEWS OF GOVERNOR STONE.
He Thinks Dewey's Example should
BE Followed by Others.

DC n ottONc0 ny
HARRISBURG. Pa, Nov. 24--Governor
W. A. Stone is not in sympathy with those
nersons who have been heapiDg abuse upon
Admiral Dewey. because the hero of Ma
Mia Bay saw fit to transfer his house to
his bride, He said tonight
Il am disappointed with the criticism
Of Admiral Dewey for transferring the
house and lot given him 10 his wife,
do not think the people understand or aD-
pTeciate the motive which led hin 10
make this deed. I believe the Admiral
was entirely right in giving the property
10 his wife and | believe that instead OF
cOndemning him. he should be sustained
and approved. I believe that the husbands
and fathers ought 10 be encouraged in
deciding the homestead to the wife. She is
naturally the queen Of the home, and
should have title 10 the possession The
unpatriOtic act which some seen in the Ad-
miral's deed 10 his wife has no foundation.
4 man is none the less patriot and lover
of his country because he makes the home
where his wife and children live secure 10
the wife against his business enterprise
and too frequently improvident specuia-
tions.
Il believe that the convention of mothers
recently assembled in Lancaster missed
their opportunity for benehting women By
not passing a resolution commencing the
Admiral for his act and thereby encouraging
the men who are fortunate enough 20 have
wives and homes 10 put the title in the
wife and make it secure against his posi-
bic unfortunate business enterprises and
speculations. / do not mean by that that
man should be encouraged 10 specula-
ton by putting his property in his wifes
name. but where he has a home that he
owns. his first duty is to his wife and
children. and the title to that at least
should be and remain in the wife. Adj
miral Dewey has set an example which it
would be well for husbands and fathers
10 follow

REFORMS IN CUBA.
General BrOOke's Report on the Re-
organization OF Governments.


HAVANA. Nov. Governor General
Brooke, in a civil report. says that one Of
the principal objects with which he has to
contend has been the distrust Of the Cuban
people who were born and nurtured under
the system Of the preceding government.
majority OF the people are now. how
ever, beginning 10 see that the govern
ment as administered by the United States
is the best for them. He adds that in re-
organizing the courts great difficulty has
been encountered. Care has been taken TO
avoid establishing laws uusuited to the
people. The existing laws are peculiar ami
II IS difficult to modify them and preserve
the former legal harmony. The system
providing for the payment OF the municipal
judges BY fees lends itself to many abuses
including bribery. Time is required 20
thoroughly educate these officials in the
fact that public Office is a public trust and
not place for personal gain. General
brooke further says that there Is every
reason TO hope that when agriculture is
restored the municipal revenues viii meet
all municipal requirements. The request
that the Government furnish cattle and
tools 10 the farmers was refused for sew
eral reasons, one being that the money at
the disposal Of the Government was not
suAlSleHl LOT ihlS purpose. Furthermore.
the principle would encourage pauperism
The real solution Of these problems is the
establishment of agricultural banks
The parochiai priests OF Havana have
held meeting al which they agreed not
to meet Monsignor Sbarreti the newly
appointed Bishop of Havana, when he ar
Tiyes here. 1t was also decided 10 send
a protest to Washington in the name Of
the Cuban priesthood asking that the ap-
poinimeEt be aunulled, and TO send a cir
cular TO all the priests in Cuba urging
them to protest. The patriotic clubs have
also protested against the appointment OF
foreigner es Bishop of Havana Morsig-
nor Sbdrreti being an Italian.
The "Diario de la Marina says that
bandits have rsappeared in the province
Of Havana and that they are terrorizing
the peasants at Mauagua
The manager Of the united railways has
ordered the employees not TO take Spanish
money coined during the reign OF Isa-
bel H. The merchants OF Matanzas have
refused TO accept this money. In conse-
queuce of this action the people are pro-
testing, and several conflicts have oc-
Cured.

ANXIOUS FOR TROUBLE.
Continued Excitement on the Sa
and Fox Reservation.

TAMA. Iowa. Nov. 24-The Sac and
Fox Indians on the reservation here con-
tinue 10 be much excited. No troops have
been ordered yet, but the agent is in con-
slant communication with the military au-
thorites. There are but 800 warriors who
have weapons that could be used in tie
event of fight, and the military author
tiles do not believe this handful Of fighting
men, who have never engaged in bate
will undertake to fight the State Of Iowa,
to say nothing of the General Government
Still the warriors are very bold, and if
they should start on the war path many
people would be massacred before the
troops could get here, as the country
though settled could offer little resistance
IL is said that some of the bOldest bucks
advocate the warriors breaking away from
the reservation and fighting their way to
South Dakota, where they hope to be Joined
by some of the dissatisfied Sioux, and may
make a big fight in the Bad Lands. This
would be serious, and would require the
combined forces of the Federal Govern
ment. The soldiers in the western posts
have practically all been Withdrawn for

HoNoRING A PATRIARCH.
Ambrose Hanchett's One Hundredth
Birthday Celebrated.

JAMESTOWN, n. Y, Nov. 24.-Yesterday
the one hundredth birthday OF Ambrose
Hanchett was celebrated at the home of hi F.,
daughter, Mrs. Mary Wood, at Mayville,
and relatives and friends came from far
and near to do the patriarch of Chautauqua
county honor. The old gentleman was able
TO be about, and greatly enjoyed the event
Mr. Hanchett came TO Mayville when only
thirteen years OF age, and when the whole
country about here was a wilderness, and
historians have received much valuable in
formation from him. At the recent cleo
tion he went 10 the polls unaided and
voted the Republican ticket. Mr. Hanchett
is the oldest person in Chautauqua county
with the exception of Mrs. Debora Dota
of Frewsburg, who will be i04 years old
should she live until March G. She is in
good health and employs herself in knit
ting socks and mittens.
