WHAT ARE OUR RIGHTS IN cHINA1

Mark B. Dunnell discusses the ques-
tion in the August Atlantic and con.
cludes; "At the present time we have
by treaty the right to import goods and
trade upon terms OF entire equality with
every other nation. While the right Of
importation and trade is limited to the
treaty ports, our goods pass, through
Chinese agencies, TO every part of the
country. No nation has any particular
trade privileges or immunities. The
tariff ON imports is fixed, not by legisla'
tive enactment or royal edict as in
Western lands, but the treaty, and the
treaties which China has entered into
with the several powers establish uni
form rates. On practically all the
dutiable goods the rate is five per cent
ad valorem. Inasmuch az this is fixed
by treaties, the Chinese government
cannot alter ii at will, nor can it grant
any special privileges, owing to the ex-
istence of the most favored nation clause
in all the treaties. II is apparent there
fore, that our trading privileges in China
do not resemble those which we enjoy
in other countries. They are in the ma
ture Of vested rights, which cannot be
abrogated or impaired at the will Of
China so long as she exercises sovereign
ity over her present territory. China is
not full sovereign state. The treaties
which we've forced upon her by wal
materially limit her sovereignty and
make her, in very real sense, the ward
of the Western powers. The rights oI
the powers in China are by treaty join
and equal, and hence any assertion o
exclusive rights may be opposed by tn,
other powers as a matter Of strict right.
1t would appear that that the Power
have not much to gain by whatever ma.
happen in China. Any extension Q
trade privilege will fall equally to on
share, and the conservative and moni
tory policy Of the administration hav
been undoubtedly the proper attitude.

STOOD.

The New York Criterian for August
discusses the increased interest IN Chi
nese civilization, and warns Americans
not to lay up the bars Of prejudice too
high. 1t says:
"They are incomprehensible to us be.
canse there is no remoteet trace OF kim
chip between their race and oure. Not
tradition, not one root-word Is COM
mon property. An unsympathetic
scrutiny Of them discovers as little Of
mutnality between them and ourselves
as the Martians would offer.
"This, word, unsympathetic, is used
advisedly, for there are astute mission
aries who tell different story from that
presented by the writers OF readable
books. Among these devoted people,
who may have precipitated the present
troubles, there are those who have,
united with their spirit OF loving kind
ness. profound chronological sense and
for many years they have been protest
ing against the idea that the Chinese
have no traits, virtues, or human charm
TO appeal TO Anglo-Saxon TASTE"
The administration lat Washington
deserves praise for its attitude Of mod
Grafton iu dealing with the situation in
China. We have all to gain in tone of
liberation for the weaknesses Of gov
ernment whose people we cannot under
stand, and whose history and race pc.
culiarities are almost unknown.

WHAT WOMEN LIKE IN A MAN.

The topic Of interest TO both men and
women is partly answered in the Au-
gust Pacific Monthly:
Women, / think, like manly, not
ladylike men.
They like honesty Of purpose and con-
sidSration.
They like men who believe in
women.
They like their opinions to be thought
Of some value.
They like maa who can be strong as
lion when trouble comes, and yet, II
one is nervous and tired, can button up
a shoe, and do IL with an amount Of
consideration that ia mental and phys
icsl brace up.
They like man who can take hold OF
the baby, convince IL Of its power, and
get II TO sleep after they have been wor-
rying with II and walking with II until
their eyes are tired and they feel as II
they had no brains.
They like man who is interested in
their new dresses, who can give an opin-
ion Of the fit, and who is properly indig-
nant at any article written against
women.
They like a man who knows their in
nocent weaknesses and caters TO them
who will bring home box Of candy, the
last new magazine, or the last puzzle
sold on tho street, that win do more
than Its duty in entertaining everybody
