SETTLING WITH CHINA.
Difficulty in Raising Customs Duties
 Unless They Be Prohibitory.


 The Chinese trouble seers to be pas sing inro negotiations for indemnities and investigations with respect to the ringleaders in the murderous attacks upon the legations. who are to he marked for punishment From the various propositions exchanged by the powers as to he order of proc5d dure will finally he evolved a pra, tical set tlcment The adjustment and pay mcnt of the indemnities sure to be eX
 acted will present difficulties of detail and if territorial surre nders he asked by any of the powers cash If Europ- can interests may arise which will com plicate matters. Aside from the none tary indemnification and guarantees for the future safety of our legation at Pekin. We are interested in keeping the door open for American trade wherever there are trading concessions made or to be made hy European powers.
 The process of fixing indemnities and dcNising ways anI means for their pawn nt by China without raising the customs duties to an almost pr1hibitivr level and retardng commercial pros perty will take some time. Germany and England. and to a lesser extent some other European countries. have very important financial interests in China. At the beginning of the pres ent trouble it was reported that the British interests when could he named 0n the stock exchange. would aggre- gate about $2O0. ,0O0. and that the English money in China was then probably close to $500. O0O 900. The debt of the Chinese government last year was between $250. 0.O00.0 00O and $3o0.- COG. eco. The maritime customs ar" pledged for this debt. under the man aGement of Sir Robert Hart. The net revenue of the country in 1899 was about S6l .000, OG0. It is said that about five times this amount is spent in it's collection. An intricate system of off cial knavery is responsible for this small return to the treasury. It is thought that root and bran h reor- ganiZation of the revenue system may h required to prevent future delays

DOES NOT THANK
THE DEAR PUBLIC
An Artist Works So Hard That She
Is Entitled to the Applause
She HeceiycS.

Must we think SO little of the public
and the quality of its intelligence as not
to dare to enter into a polite discussion
with it, ard TO hide always under low
and common servlity the real depth OF
our thoughts? The public is, they say,
the great regulator of our pride, the
servant OF our vanity. and we feel con-
tentment or not according as we are
Kissed or applauded. from which are de-
duced the following remarks:
Ought the real artist to be grateful to
him?
I Will reply: No. for the applause OF
the public only expresses its selfish feel
ing of satisfaction: it IS sort OF an ac-
acknowledgement made to the artist VINO
has given something-maybe an artistic
thrill or an hours pleasure
The applause. the encomiums. which
constitute success. are only ad1ni-ing
thanks. and it is customary to thank
those who give. Have we not for CEN
turtles been thanking Michael Angelo,
Beethoven, Mozart and many others2
What enjoyment re would have been
deprived Of If orr ignorance had pre-
vented us from understanding them,
And what gratitude do we not owe
them! No one OF them would have had
less talent had the world refused to rec
ognze his genius.
And yet these like the rest. vera
Charmed by public HOMAGE. AS II i
were necessary to them: It is because
artists are like children. they have their
sersibilities, their coquetries. and like
then, the desire to please. everywhere
and always But for the credit OF the
class ii is fair to add that If they some
times produce work which they know
in advance will be condemned by an 1g-
norant public, they do not bear any i'll
will knowing full we'll that the degree
Of their talent is not to Dc estimated oy
the braves or the silerce of the crowd
Is is true that the public treats as
unerat eful the artist who only receives
It's applause with dignited reserve
Doubtless. because that artist Is rare
Who refuses to bow down before the
sovereign public aud dares to express
what he really thinks.
But notwithstanding. If he IS con-
scious Of the effort. OF the intelliSence
used and OF the end attained. it is nat
1,ral he should enjoy the plardits OF
those before whom he will exhibit the
fruits of his labor. Having the knowl-
edge that they owe him as much why
should he have the hvnrocrisy to receive
# all rs a favor? What! Ask of the
heavens. Of the flowers. OF the trees TO
be tankfu for our admiration, Then
WHY do men refuse TO others what they
accord to these? In art. gratitude IS
m admission OF inferiority.-Yvette Gull
