Chinese Guilds.

Trades unions are too often thought
of as institutions characteristic of the
Caucasian race and yet. if consular re-
ports are to count for anything, the
labor guilds of China are more effec-
tive and less exposed to danger than
any unions ever organized in the paler
races. Every branch of trade is pro-
tected by its guild which has neither
recognized head, records nor place Of
meeting. This is almost incompre-
hensible to a Saxon union man with.
his pronounced ideas of individuality
in organization. But in this very i'm
personality lies the safety of the Chi
nese guilds. 1t may be known posi-
lively to the government that certain
organizations are hostile to its inter-
ests, yet the police have never been
able to arrest their chiefs. find con-
victing records or discover the guild in
session.
In spite of this apparent lack of or
sanitation. however the societies have
a terrible efficiency; their DEGREES are
passed along by word of mouth, and
any merchant who fails to comply with
the established customs of trade finds
himself suddenly but completely ia
booed
These customs. while irritating and
somewhat prejudicial to the American
trader in China should nevertheless
be carefully studied in order to gain
the commercial patronage, which, on
the whole. is highly profitable and fair
iy reliable. For example, while the cur
rent accounts between natives must be
settled before the Chinese New Year
and all money due from foreign trad
ers to natives must be paid by that
time. yet accounts due to Americans or
Europeans are permitted to run over.

But whether they oppose or favor

The public knows it's rights and how

About the Weather:

The promise of the weather bureau for
warmer temperature lad TO be taken in trust
up to O'Clock this morning, and then there
were no perceptible guarantees Of coed faith.
The weather during yesterday was nothing
If not reliable During the day the mercury,
by dint Of hard work, struggled up to within
three degrees Of the zero mark, but gave 1t
up at that and started to fall slowly. At
O'Clock 1t was four degrees below zero; at
10 o'clock six degrees below. and at midnight
the mercury was cheerfuny indicating eight
on the cool side of the zero mark; at ,
O'Clock this morning the temperature was
ten degrees below, the minimum for the night
up to that time.

Most people have ceased to pay attention

it a novelty, is still preserved. Last

IN ofuer that when war comes the
army may be provided with officers
capable to command armies and win
pattles, but. as soon as the war cloud
bursts. the officer who has been thus
trained Is turned a side and q man
utterly inexperienced and Incompetent
Is commissioned to take his place and
oIten to command him. There is little
chance Tor promotion in the army in
time or peace; In time of war the reg
ular army officers must wait for the
volunteers to be killed off before their
turn Ior promotion comes. There is
not much encouragement in this for
the west Pointers nor for the man who
contemplates going through West
Point.
In the organization Of the volunteer
army during the late war the regular
army officers took a back seat 1t was
provided in the bill increasing the
army to war footing that one regular
army officer might be appointed to
each volunteer regiment, but that was
not obligatory, and it was rarely avail
ed OF. Two Minnesota regiments had
regular army officers on the field staff.
anu one or these Is now in command
OIL the F1fteenth. The influence which
one army officer exerts in the manage
ment OF regiment is marked and if
there could have been more appointed
TO the volunteer forces, there would
probably have been less sickness and
death In the southern fever camps.
but 1t is not only in the volunteer
service that the regular army officer
Is at a disadvantage. He is subord-
mated in the regular service also.
Ihere were but two generals in the
late war who graduated from West
Folnt. These were Gen. Merritt. who
was relegated to the Philippines, and
zen. Lee, who was not permitted to
get beyond Tampa. Miles. Shafter and
the other commanding officers all grad
uated from the Civil war into the regu-
lar service or sprang suddenly from
the drawing room into camp with
greater responsibilities and less sense
OF them than they ever had before to
bear
In happy contrast to the army is
the navy. Seamen must be sailors, and
no novice can command q crew. This
was generally recognized and there
were few applications during the war
from sons and grandsons for commits
sions in the navy. though the naval
reserve gave the nautical ones a
chance to show their mettle. But the
naval battles during the war were
fought by trained officers and men, and
the results are known to ALL
Congress must decide whether this
country is to have an army command
ed by trained and experienced officers,
or by inexperienced grandsons. If West
Point is to continue as a national school
for soldiers congress must provide for
charging 1t to accommodate the in
creased number of cadets who will
have to be educated there to meet the
demands of the larger military force
And in this connection. would 1t not be
wise to discard the present system of
apportionment Of cadets? Cadets are
now appointed through congressional
favor and many ambitious and worthy
youths are yearly denied admittance
to profession for which they may be
peculiarly adapted. The military acad-
envy should be kept clear from political
influence.

The house Is quite unlike itself
