UNCLE SAM HOLDS THE KEY.

The careful observer of Oriental condi-
tons and events, is compelled to conclude
that the administration is strangely weak
in dealing with the Chinese crisis.
For a nation situated as is the United
States, this indecision and lack of def
mite policy seems almost criminal.
With commercial interests in the en-
pire second to none, with reputation
among the powers that no territory is de-
sired, and with force in the Immediate
vicinity, to give policy backbone the
United States should take the lead in set

Rusias, for three hundred years, has
been encroaching on the Monaghan.
The great Moscovite empire sought an
Eastern outlet, because both the Medi-
terranean and the Atlantic were blocked
against her. Steadily she has fought her
way, now by diplomacy, now by war
until the goal has been reached-that
goal was Port Arthur. Russia does not
want territory, she has enough of
that of her own-she wants concessions.
Germany is colony hungry A field is
desired where her surplus manufactured
goods, stamped MADE in Germany can
be placed upon the market without fear
of the hated Yankee competition.
Germany wants Chinese territory-ths
open door is not sufficient for her needs.
Japan, for reasons of seIf-protection, and
by reason OF her position, must stand for
the integrity of the empire and the open
door. The British empire would join in
partition, but will not make a fight for
1t If the open door and stable govern
ment is reasonably assured. France will
oppose the policy of Germany. Such is
the situation, below the thousand and one
diplomatic assurances and exorbitant de-
mands for redress.
Who holds the key? Certainly the
United States. But is must be used or if
will avail nothing.
Should Japan announce that an at
tempt by the powers, either directly or
indirectly to secure Chinese territory,
would be regarded as an act unfriendly
to that nation, and should the United
States at once acknowledge ;he justice
of such doctrine. the Chinese crisis
would be passed.
England, France and Russia would ac-

to pay, could then be determined upon.
The actual damage is not so great. 1t
is the punitive damages, which threaten
to swamp the empire in ruin.
China is a bankrupt, and the nations
must treat her as bankrupt It is not
a question of how much should I get
but how much can she pay and still carry
on the functions of nation. With
Germany. England. Japan and the United
States, trade with China on the best pos
sible terms is the paramount object.
With Russia it is different. Germany

Russia has been world power.
Baked by the nations of Europe in tner
ambition to become a great commercial

face to the East, and fo1 two hundred
years has never wavered a moment from
her self prescribed course. 1t took two
hundred years of diplomacy, of war and

The problem of the New York tenement
is n1any-sided 1t goes to the public
health, the public morals and the public
comfort. 1t is largely the product of the
allotment of twenty-five feet of frontage
for residence purposes and from the to-

exist between the height of the building
and the width of the street on which it
fronts

ties in the way of the public welfare which
spring from the existence of the old
fashioned tenement, and indeed, the new-
fashioned tenement, for that matter, is
the propagation of disease among those
who live their lives within it. Tubercu-
losis, it is now generally recognized, is
native product of tenement house con-
ditions of life Drunkenness and erin 9
are the attendants inevitably of life IN
the worst of those places.
1t is quite natural under all the cir
cumstances that. the low standard of
public morals which are recognized as
xisting in the big cities should be re-
garded as due in considerable measure to
the evils of tenement house life, and that
the political reformer who, as rule,
needs looking after, and whose activities
are bounded by the vision which presents
itself to him Of some fat Office in the
prospective, should be deeply concerned
In the problem. Yet there was bad poll
tics before the tenement house had devel-
oped and there will be after it has found
a remedy.
The great evil of the tenement lies in
its influence on the public health. And
in that sense and to that degree it can
not be regarded as epidemic. Every
American city which is rapidly ad-
vancing toward large population is

exercised by public authority will provide
against it. Even those tenements, known
as flats, the apartments in which now
rent at big prices, have many of the
characteristics which work against the
good health of their occupants. Plenty
of room and fresh air are the first re-
quirements to heaIthful residence Both
of these requirements are being Caily
sacrificed to the needs of those who,
rather than continue to endure the hard
work of single dwelling houses, live aeir
lives in the confined quarters of the
flats.
In st. Paul we are at present engaged
in the formulation of a building code.
1t will be a good thing for the commun-
ity if those who are charged with the
work of arranging our building reguIa-
tons learn the lesson of the present sit
uation on L-anhattan island, and insist
on the establishment of such conditions
IN the construction of the dwellings of
the people as will save US in the future
from the evils which are now forcing
themselves on the attention of the older
cities throughout the country.

which has enjoyed opportunities of unre-
stricted growth ever since the time when
the fool-kller died from overwork. From
the reports it looks as if the Filipinos
were not even aware that we had an
election here.
There may be some question about it,
whether the Filipinos are tired of the
war; but there can be no question about it
concerning the American people; thew
are tired and sick of it. But Slev do not
take it in that kind of spirit which
makes man want to pull out and go
home
On the contrary. Let the administration
demand the necessary men and money
and let congress grant everything that il,
needed The people are getting very
tired of this war. They want to see
this war; with all its bloodshed and suf-
fering, brought to speedy and decisive
emergencies of cost And if it should
afterwards turn out that the cost was
more than the game was worth, the peo-
r2e will settle with the administration
and the party later on.
But in any case, let the party realize
that it will be easier to settle with the
people on the charge of excessive cost
than on the charge of needlessly protract-
ing this wars weary length of bIoodshed
and suffering.

ton. Manufactures have sprung up;
improved and modern machinery has
been introduced into the mines; the great
wheat and rye fields are made merry
with the whirr of American farm ma-
chinery; the great forest regions are be-
ing dotted with saw mills. Capital from
the United States and England is being
attracted toward the land of the White
Tar and it will be but few years be-
fore the last vestige of ancient Russia
will disappear. The undermining of Rus
STA is approached by only that of Japan
and her progress is rivaIed only by that
of the United States
This will be more readily understood
when it is known that now, after ten
years of railroad building, one can go
from Moscow to Irkutsk, the present
eastern terminus of the trans-Siberian
railroad, in a fIrst-class sleeper, with
buffet attached and with bath and al
other modern conveniences, distance Of
9.4oO miles for $44. And that when the
line is completed from Irkutsk to Port
Arthur, one can make the trip from Lon
don to Shanghai for $165. From present
indications this can be done within two
years.
And when we grasp the further fact
that Russia did not receive the impetus
from the introduction of machinery until
thirty years after it was working Won
ders in the United States, but notwith-
standing this fact and the further fact
that Siberia was for years nothing but
penal colony, it, in 1888, produced 400, Co.,
GOO bushels of wheat, and 6OO,OOO,O00 bush
els Of other grains; that it produced dur.
ing the last thirty years $40O,oOO00o in
gold; that in all precious metals, in coal,
in iron, in gas and oil it rivals the United
States, we can begin to understand the
interest Russia has in the eastern Ques-
ton, and also to comprehend the dread
which all continental nations seem to
lave of this silent, ambitious, energetic
and resourcefuI empire. We can under
stand what the possession of Manchuria
means to the ear. When the history of
Russia becomes as familiar to US as our

of autocratic Russia for the great repub-
lie of the west will be made clear; its

IRRIGATING THE ARID WASTE.

The irrigation congress which closed
at Chicago Saturday, resolved to urge
upon congress the advisability of a ma
tional appropriation to be used to pre-
serve the forests, and the demonstration
of denuded areas, also for the construc-
ton of storage reservoirs as protec-
ton against floods and to save water
for navigation and irrigation purposes.
A national system of irrigation and
forest protection will be a gigantic propo-
sition, and can be handled with success
alone by the national government. Like
the deepening of waterway channels,
the building Of lighthouses and govern
ment locks for the immediate benefit
of few, but for the ultimate benefit of
all, the establishment of a system of irri-
cation to bring under cultivation the vast
arid tracts of the west, is also an enter
prise, within the peculiar province of
the central governments
The subject of irrigation needs no
comments. Everybody knows how the
baked plains will bloom with every con-
ceivable fruit, grass, or grain, if but its
thirst be Stacked. A few hints regard
ing a plan in which state and county
authorities could assist the general gov
eminent might not be out of place.
He who has been on the plains of
Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska. and the
Dakotas, has observed how perfectly the
buffalo grass sheds water. The entire
plain is matched as with a roof. Dur
ing the hardest rains the soil beneath
the grass is dampened but few inches.
The water unhindered seeks the ravines-
draws, Coules, as the nomenclature OF
the section may designate the natural
drainage troughs of the plain, which, in
a few hours, are bowling torrents. Here
is the origin of the floods which have
| been so disastrous in the southwest.
There are but few sections of land in
the states mentioned where a dam across
natural drain would not hold back
from one to twenty acres of water. OF
course all would depend upon the length
and height Of the dam

inconsequent in cost but serving to hus-
bard large per cent of the rainfall,
would not only afford means Of local ir-
rigation, but would have a tendency to
increase precipitation, by affording a
greatly added evaporating surface.
How is this system to be put in vogue?
Either by the state exempting quarter
sections having certain water surface
| from taxation, or the county Offering a
bounty per acre for water surface dur
ing. certain months. or for the construc-
ton of the necessary reservoirs to hold
it. The demonstration of a denuded
section, is too slow a process, to be avail
able in this generation to assist in the
retention of rainfall
Such a system of small local reservoirs
is entirely practical, and would aid mate
rally in bringing about sentiment for
the wider scheme of national system.
