ment. and that all the world must accept
our opinion OF ourselves. This. ii may be
noted, is also precisely the Chinese point
of view. The Chinaman is thoroughly
convinced that his way of thinking is the
best that ever was or will be in this or
any other world. In matters of absolute
truth there is no respect of persons, any
more than there is an up or down in
space. The planet does not revolve around
the sun because the astronomer says so;
the astronomer gains his prestige from
person or a nation wishes 10 set up as
teacher of truth it must first be proved
that that person. or nation. knows more
truth than any other and the proof must
be such as the world can recognize. The
opinion of one man that he is superior to
his neighbors is no proof that he really is.
The second argument is something like
the first. Ii is quite true that there are
many Christians who believe that only
their own form of faith can secure the
sense OF union with God which they them
selves feel: but it is also certain that
Buddhists, Shintosts. and the followers of
Confucius also feel a sense of oneness with
the Creator which is. to them. quite as
satisfactory. The Hindu hermit has some
times retired from the world. at time
when all its prizes were within his grasp,
simply because he believed that in soli-
tude he might attain this sense of union
with the divine presence. That is suffi-
cient proof that the feeling means some
thing 10 him.
The real difference between America
and China is not religious. but racial, po-
permits and encourages corruption, ty-
ranny, and ignorance, no religion can
flourish. and the purest must become cor
rupt. Put man in a position where it
is almost impossible for him to love his
neighbor as himself, and the chances are
that he will not do it, All that civiliza-
ton means is the removal of such inf1u
ences as make men brutes. and their re-
placement by influences which appeal to
the better nature of humanity. Why do
we have schools, churches, philanthropic
societies. libraries? To educate men out
of the brute stage of their nature and
make It possible for them to do right
without losing their lives in the process.
If America were allowed to fall under
the sway of influences which encourage
instead OF depressing savage instincts,
and destroy the impulse to free action,
we should be another China in thou-
sand years: for there is no vital force in
Christianity which will save it from the
corruption it has suffered in countries
where this has happened.

such methods being used in a political

THE prince was very anxious to learn

himself entirely 20 the study and ulti-

The longing for the study OF nedi-

years, heightened by his work during
the cholera epidemic. As a result Of
his labOrs during the present outbreak

cal colleges there. Thence he intends

BECKHAM AT LOUISVILLE

That City to BE Headquarters of the DEM
Ocratic Government.
LOUISVILLE, Feb. 5.-This city Is to
be the seat, temporarily at least, of the
Democratic state government. Governor
Beckham and the rest Of his chief adj
visers reached here during the morning.
The Democratic members Of the legisla-
ture will meet here and it is proposed to
make Louisville the headquarters Of the
legislative and executive branches Of
this state government as long as the
presence of troops keeps them from
Frankfort or until the present conflict
Of authority in the state is settled.
The details Of this plan was decided
upon at conferences held by the Demo-
cratic leaders at Zelbach's hotel during
the afternoon and evening. Governor
Beckha1n quietly slipped into town
during the morning. He was accom-
panied by Speaker Trimble Of the house
OF representatives. General Castleman,
the newly appointed adjutant general,
and local leaders Of prominence came
in during the day as well as a number
Of Democratic members of the legisla-
ture. Newspaper men were carefully
excluded from these councils and every
effort was made to keep the deibera-
tons secret.
