RELIGION OF THE CHINESE.
Morality and Reverence Are It's
Chief characteristics.

Confucius, the founder OF the con-
fucian religion of China. lived Dol to
47S B. c.. He was contemporary With
the Tarquins of Rome, Pythagoras OF
Greece. and Cyrus of Persia. His de-
scendants form the aristocracy OF China
and have always enjoyed high privi-
leges. There is still some forty thOus-
and of them, seventy generations re-
moved from their ancestor; this being
the oldest family in the world. There
are sixteen hundred and sixty temples
erected to the memory of Confucius,
or Kung-Fu-Tsee, in China, the larg-
est one covering ten acres OF ground
He is the patron saint OF the vast EN-
pire: and the doctrine he promulgated
forms the state religion of the nation,
sustained by the whole power OF the
emperor and the literary body. Yet
it is religion without priests of lltur-
gy. Morality and reverence are Its
Chief characteristics. 0sz
Reverence for parents, or the aged,
was as imperative in his teaching as a
reverence for the Deity; and the COL
den rule in its negative form is found
in his writing: "Do not unto others
what YOU would not have others 60 I'M
to YOU - The religion OF Confucius is
an ethnic, or one confined within the
boundaries of particular race or fam
lily of mankind. 1t belongs to China
and the Chinese. 1t has been their
state religion for some twenty-three
hundred years, and it ru.es the opin
ions of four hundred millions of men.

THE MEANING OF 1T.

The Boston Post, an independent pa
per. tells in the following article what
the election OF Hon. VIM. j. Bryan
would mean. If some of the disgrunt
led newspapers and people will read
it and profit thereby they will feel bet
ter. Hear the Post:
Suppose Bryan were elected presl-
dent. what would happen ? Whatsor
of president would we have in him :
In the first place, we should have a
thoroughly honest man in the white
house. This is fact conceded by Mr.
Bryan's political foes as we'll as by his
political friends. And it is more than
the republicans can say OF every candi-
date put up by their party.
We should have a president of un-
questionable ability. Mr.. Bryan has
shown himself a man of parts. He is
not only brilliant orator, he mas dem
onstrated his possession Of the quail
ties of craftsmanship.
We should have a president who is
personally ulselfsh. Mr. Bryan is de-
voted TO principles rather than to the
advancement of his individual inter-
ests. He is broad-minded man.
We should have as president a man
of tact and good humor. Mr.. Bryan
would enter the white house with
out enemies to punish or grudges TO
satisfy. He carries no ''knife."
And touching the policies and issues
on which this election turns. we should
have president devoted to the repub-
lican as against the imperial theory OF
government: to the protection of the
interest of the great body OF the peo-
pie as against monopolistic cabals.
We should have a president who has
pledged himself to what we at the east
regard as mistaken theory of finance,
but who would be unable in the four
years of his term to put his theory in
practice in any form.F
All in all, from the republican point
of view, there have been many candi-
dates, both republican and democratic,
whose election to the presidency would
be properly regarded with greater
apprehension than that of William
Jennings Bryan.

THE republicans are good d cal wor-
ried over a lack of campaign funds.
A number of leading men on the cam
paign committees have been out upon
political foraging expeditions, and it is
limited that they have not met with
the success which they expected, or
which they thought was really neces-
sary. Certain sources of ca npaign
funds which have been tapped before
and have flowed freely have this sum
mer given forth at best but meagre
and attenuated stream, not sufficient
in volume to furnish the desired motor
power to turn the wheels of the ma
chine. There have been complaints
among the leaders of an Indifference
on the part of many whilom contribu-
tors, which, they feel, smacks of base
ingratitude. The trusts"and manufact-
urers who are fOurishing under the
