ton, illiberal and short-signted to the
point of brutality.
In the current number of the Forum
the searchlight of liberal and advanced
thought Is applied to- our anti-Chinese
policy in very effective manner. 1t is
applied by the present consul general OF
China in the United States. That gen
tleman considers the opportunities which
present themselves to our merchants and
manufacturers to take control of the
foreign trade of the Chinese people if
they are permitted by their governing
authorities al Washington tc do so. He
points out that any sphere of influence"
in which the United States was possessed
of trading rights equal to those of the
nation possessing it would be use
Tess sphere and that if the United States
SHOULD secure equal trading rights vi ii.
in the limits of ali existing European
spheres CT influence that circumstance
would put an end effectually to that
particular form of European policy in
China Chinese representatives in The
United States have done all that is nos
sible to promote these results. But the
attitude of our government toward the
Chinese who have come or have sought
to come to the United States is such that
it must necessarily keep US in antag-
onism toward the 100000 sober,
earnest, practical and Industrious people,
producers and traders, by instinct, who
constitute the population Of China.
1t is needless to recite what we hav,
done TO ALLEVIATE the sympathies of the
CHR csc people from US as a ration. The
record is a shameful one it will re-
qulre all the national ingenuity to save
ourselves from all of the worst conse-
quenccs which must flow from #. YET.
according to Mr.. Ho Vow, all that IS
nceeful for us to do is to modify and
iberalize the existing system of ex
ciusion, and these consequences can
be avoided. How hopeful a view the in
tclligent Chinaman takes of the situa-
ton notwithstanding all its difficulties
may be judged from the following ex
tract from the article in question. Mr.
Ho Ycw says:
we nave too much faith in the presi-
cent of this great nation, in the houses
oa congress, in the wisdom of the Ameri-
can people generally, and particularly in
Ilose influential producers who have their
eyes hHed upon China a s a shipping point,
Tot TO feel certain that these barriers to
trade and progress must be wiped AWAY
and that the broad enlightenment which
distinguishes the American people among
me nations of the world will soon char
acter!ze their dealings with the Chinese
as with other peoples
How far this view is justified. the
u will not undertake to say. But
1t Is not difficult to believe that as long
as the existing Chinese exclusion laws are
executed in the spirit which now ami
mates federal officials everywhere there
is little hope that the broad enlighten-
ment OF which the writer speaks will
nave opportunity to find expression.

ANOTHER Hanna Hest

The Chicago Tribune narnAt,.e +as
another joke at the expense of Senator

tfcally unanimous for his continuance IN

hcan national committed, and it is gen
orally believed he will accept" In fact
as the Tribune sagely remarks "the
chances are ten to one that he will take
it."
Inc chances are at least one hundred
to one on Senator Hanna taking" tbs
craftsmanship again. Anyway. If anv
person tries to wrest 1t from him they
will know they have been In g. fight
Senator Hannas strong hand is upon the
Republican party and he is very dis
tinctly it The modesty attributed 70
him by the Tribune is but Pigment OF
the imagination. Senator Hanna win
not only take the craftsmanship. but h.
will take it nolens volens. It NAV in

rlllce OF his time, money and possibly
health, but If it escaped him it would in
Volve a still more costly sacrifice, for it
would endanger those schemes of his
which have been so ably forwarded by
the present Republican administration
Senator Hanna is determined to re-
elect President Mckinley, and he is ego
tlstlc enough to think that he is the
most capable man to manage the Repub.
lcan campaign and bring it to what he
regards as successful issue To lose

The prevailing amusement among Euro

cial statement published, showing the ex-

tive of the United States at the Worlds
fair. That statement showed Mr. Peck
as expanding something like $4,000 for
Salaries of experts" out of a total of
$250000, which represented his aggregate
expenditures. The salaries OF Mr. Peck's

$50 coo, while his Officers salaries netted
