WORTH STUDY.

a very remarkable and a very valu-
able article from the pen of Sir Rob
ert Hart, has appeared simultaneously
in the British Fortnightly and the Am
erican Cosmopolitan. Sir Robert Hart
has spent his life in China. If any
European or American knows China
better it is a matter of grave doubt.
He has been forty-five years in the
country, has hardly ever taken a yaca-
ton and has been intimately connect
ed with the principal public men of
the empire. He has always been a
reticent man, and when he breaks sill
ence in this way, what he has to say
upon subject so intimately known
to him is certainly worth careful read
ing and full consideration.
The article describes in a general
view the siege of the Picking Legations,
and the tale is well told, but others
and more practiced pens have done this.
The value of Sir Robert Harris paper
is his view on the Chinese problem and
on the causes which brought about
the Boxer outbreak. There is no stud
ent of Chinese affairs, and they are
among the most important of affairs to
us as a nation, who can afford to pass
by this clear exposition of the situa-
ton, and the deductions as to the flu
ture.
Sir Robert shows that there was am
pie warning of the coming storm, only
no one would listen to the warning or
read the signs of the times. The RI
mors that the dynasty was to be upset.
the foreigners We're to be exterminated
on given date, that China was to be
partitioned among the powers and so
forth We're constant. The English pa
papers published at Tientsin, Shanghai
and HongkOng saw what was coming
on but We're laughed at for their pre-
dietion. The worlds powers could not
believe that the quiescent Chinese could
break forth into an organized move
ment which would tax their utmost eff
forts to curb.
The Boxer movement, as viewed nv
Sir Robert is a patriotic movement.
Moreover he says that it was the direct
teaching of the Europeans which
brought it about. Europeans and Am
orleans who wanted to sell guns, rifles
and ammunition to the Chinese, were
eager to have the Imperial Government
establish standing army. The Chi
nese officials listened to these sugges-
tions, made some show of following
them, and thought. The result of that
thought was that a volunteer system
was the thing needed. Their last obser- |
walton was the success of the volun- |
teer Beers against trained troops at
Majuba Hill, and emphasized after the |
movement commenced by the check of |
trained troops by popular lives at the
Tugela, Magersfontein and the early
struggles of the Boer war. Moreover.
educated Chinese are not ignorant of
American history at the close of last
Century. In fortnight we will have
TO say two centuries ago.

THAT KAHN BILL AGAIN.

1t is no good going to the top of the
nearest hill to look for trouble 1t is
therefore no good for any one to de-
eide that the Kahn bill will pass. There
are many unwise bills presented to
Congress, and they do not pass. There
are many specious bills put forward
and they never come to fruition. Con-
gresham Kahn's bill is specious, but
st is by no means certain that it will go
through.
There is a decided bait in the matter.
1t was clever move to suggest that
the Federal Government should take
the whole of the expense of our leper
colony off our hands. The expense is
a very heavy one. At the last session
of the Legislature $1S6,OO0 was voted
for the support of the Leper Settlement
and the segregation and collection of
lepers, and $3S, 400 was voted for sala-
ries of people looking after the lepers,
the total being 1924 400 for two years,
or $112200 annually. This does not rep
resent anything like the total cost for
a great deal is done by private charity
In addition to the public funds expend-
ed.
There can be no doubt that this is a
very serious drain upon the taxpyers
of the Territory. But there are some
things that are greater than money.
We have devoted ourselves heroically
to the stamping out of leprosy among
our people. We have very nearly sue
ceeded. The number of lepers sent to
the settlement is yearly becoming
smaller. If we are left alone we will
eradicate the disease. The glory of
having succeeded in such a noble and
such a self sacrificing fight is worth
Tar more to us than money. And Just
as we are on the threshold of success
comes some one who knows nothing of
our conditions and our stern and un-
compromising fight, and proposes to
practically undo the good we have sue
ceeded in doing, offering us a money
sop in compensation. 1t is TO be hoped
no one in the Territory will be tempted
by such a paltry bait
Our main hope is that the bill may be
Killed in committee. Every one inter-
ested in the Islands should work in
the hardest way possible in Washington
to defeat this measure which is cruel
and utterly unjust.

The great German transatlantic
steamship lines use only American
coal. The Deutschland, before setting
out to break the speed record of the
sea, filled up her bunkers at New York.
So that if the Germans can build gig
antic steamers and the finest of ma
chinery they require American coal to
get the best results from their work.
A test was recently made of Ohio coal
on the Bavarian State railways and
the fuel was found to be superior to
the best native coal. At Hamburg,
West Virginia gas coal has been tested
and found superior to the Cardiff
standard. 1t is only scarcity of tom
mage and consequent exorbitant
freights which prevent American coal
from relieving the German coal famine.
Certainly we are a fortunate country
with our almost exhaustless natural re-
sources, and our natural push and
energy to make use Of Them The Unit
ed States ie truly the Heir OF the

Judge Silliman announces that he
foresaw the present difficulty in maxi
ing an appointment to the vacant sec
ond circuit, before he retired. Every
man has a right to do the best for him
self, but one must ask if ex-Judge Sill
man could forsee so much why did he
ever accept the position in the first
place. 1t looks very much as if he set
to work to keep a chair warm, and
now finds that it is getting cold for the
gentleman he kept it's heat up for.

In his message to Congress, President
Mckinley made mention of the system
OF getting Consular reports before the
general public daily. 1t is an innova-
ton which has struck the commercial
world with surprise, Most countries
publish such reports yearly, and only
few half yearly or quarterly. The
result is that little good is derived
from the reports. The United States
system, which is unique, has put our
commercial men ahead wonderfully.

The proposed tunnel between Africa
and Europe is not regarded as a safe
financial scheme by many prominent
men even in France. The engineering
difficulties might not be so great, but
the traffic would be expensive and there
never could be the amount of freight
and the number of passengers which
the promoters figure on.

sion Question Foremost.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 16.-The Presbyte-
rian General Assembly will convene to-

Charles A. Dickey. of Philadelphia; the
Rev. William McKibben, of Cincinnati; the

be the election of permanent clerk. For
that office the names of DR.. Ralston Smith,
OF New York; DIR. c. S. Mcclellan, of Pitts
burg; Dr. B. F. Gemmill. of Creston, Pa;

RETIRING MoDERATOR's ADDRESS.
Points from the Sermon Rev. DIR. Sam
pie VIII Deliver To-day.

ST. LOUIS. May 16.-Rev. DR.. Robert f.
Sample. the retiring moderator. will de-
liver his sermon tomorrow at the opening
session. His text will be:
Speak unto the children of Israel that
they GO forward. Exodus xiv, 15
In speaking of the progress of Christian
ity he will say: In lSOo our own cnurch

municants and contributed $500 TO benevo-
lent objects AT present We have 7,3l2 min
listers, 1861 churches, 9S3,9l1, or nearly
million, communicates, and during 1899 con-
tributed to benevolence s. $50. 637. To limit
our view to the last decade we observe
this significant fact that during the year
1894. I'm which the church was occupied
there occurred the greatest number OF adj
ditions on confession of faith In the entire
history OF the denomination The year fol-
lowing, publicity having been given to doc
trinal errors and confidence In the essen
tials OF Christianity having been weakened,
there set In a period Of spiritual decline.
Yet the net increases or our church In 1889
was about 1000, that of the Congregational
Church being about 2.40O, while the Meth
odist Episcopal Church North had a net
loss of 800 In later years in great ma
jority OF the Christian denominations there
has been, so far as indicated by CONVEX
sions. a marked religious decline, and for
this condition some general, not local,
cause must be assigned.
Here let it be observed that divisions
In our church have never resulted solely
from doctrinal differences, but mainly
from opposing views of administration or
questions of national government. This
fact indicates the prevailing and steadfast
loyalty cS our church to its doctrinal STAN
dards.
This general survey must suffice. We
acknowledge our indebtedness to the past.
We are what IL has made Victor Hugo

ciple when he said: II you would be
virtuous educate your ancestors

vance. Our environment is analogous to
that OF Israel at the Red Mountains

land We seek and enemies attempt TO de-
feet our course. Piety is filled with alarms.
Fear wells its face, wet with tears. Only
hope, wrapt In the radiance of Jehovah's
promise and leaning on omnirotent grace,
discerns victory little way on and hears
the paeans Of a conquering host.
