JUDICIAL CANDIDATES.

We support the sentiment that judges
should be selected because Of their quail
incations for judicial work. rather than
for personal or partisan reasons. It
IS Of vital importance that men thor
oughly trained in the law should be
placed upon the bench.
Members Of the bar appreciate this
perhaps, far better than the general
public can. When they argue legal
propositions they are deeply chagrlued

litisants who, making sure Of gaining

A BRAID SCOTS TESTAMENT.

The publication Of the New Tesla

may never come into popular use, even
IN Scotland. The work is soon 70 be

there Is some curiosity as TO how the

situation as 1t exists. the translation
must be either one Of two things. That

pure and unliterary or In one that Is
no longer familiar TO the multitude.
To get an answer to the inquiries on
this subject. the London Morning Lead

formation that the Testament would not
be IN the Glasgow or Paisley Scotch OF
the present day. but would more resem-

THE 81. louis STRIKE.


While foreign events are absorbing
the interest Of the public. home oc-
currences are ant to be overlooked.
Since the Sth OF May a strike has
been on in ST. Louis, accompanied by
several riots. No less than thirteen
persons have been killed during these
disturbances; fifteen have been wound
ed bv bullets, and ninety injured In
other ways. The losses TO business, by
the interruption Of communications are
estimated to amount TO several mill
lions.
St. Louis IS not n city dominated by
Chinese barbarlsm. or Mohammedan
fanatlcsm. and yet many Of the VIC
tins Of violence were entirely innocent.
In some cases women were assaulted by
mobs. denuded and beaten. And the
suspicion Is freely expressed that the
authorities in whose power 1t was to
stop these outrages. neglected TO do so.
FOR political purposes Il Is charged
that they permitted the outrages TO go
on. in order that they might pose as the
friends cf the strikers and secure their
votes at the next election.
We are Mortified at the outrages CONF
mitted in China and Turkish provinces
but we sometimes fail to realize that all
over tine world, even in countries where
Christian civilization has held sway for
centuries. there Is an element Of hui
manity but little removed from the
level OF brutes. In the various races
Of mankind there is much diversity In
features. color, habits and intellectual
development. but the moral condition
is pretty much the same. except where

The results Of the amnesty proclama-
ton issued In the Philippines by Gen.
Macarthur by direction Of President
Mckinley will be watched with inter
est. The time Is none too happily
chosen, since the rainy season is at
hand. a time in which the Filipinos
can more effectively resist the Ameri-
cans, while the latter are seriously
handicapped, a condition which the ma
lives realize only too well. Moreover
the proclamation offers little or no In
ducement TO the insurgents 70 lay down
their arms since they have known, or
might have known, for the past two
years. that they would be treated ac.
cordlng TO the law and customs or

ance Of immunity from punishment Is

THE AMNESTY PROCLAMATION.
10 Angeles EXpress.


The proclamation by President Nc.
Knley, Offering amnesty to all Flip
mos who at once lay down their arms
and report TO the American commander
az Manila, cannot but have beneficial
effect in restoring peace In the ISLANDS.
There are no exemptions from pardon
except those who have violated the
rules OF war during active hostilities,
and there Is no reason why the ISL
auders should not take advantage OF
this free-will gift. Even Aguinaldo
himself Is not excepted from the provi-
sions Of the proclamation and II Is more
than probable that the willy chief find
ing that while the United States gov
eminent has millions for putting down
opposition 10 It's sovereignty, has not
one cent to buy of rebels and traitors,
viii give up the hopeless struggle and
come into the American lines. With
this act the rebellion win be at an end
The FilipInos have at last realized that
the United States means business; they
understand that they have not the
Spaniards to deal with, and they viii
probably accept the inevitable as
gracefully as they may.

Amnesty for the Filiplnos who have
resisted our forces is shrewdly timed so
that the proclamation may appear slm-
ultapeously with the Republican ma
tional platform. As the resolution on
the Philippine question which was
adopted at Philadelphia yesterday rep
resents long backdown from the po-
siti0n which the ardent Imperinlists
have occupied as 20 the character Of
our rule in those islands. 80 Is the offer
OF amnesty 10 those who have been
fghting our troops a very different poll
cy from the program Of relentless pur-
suit OF rebels which was originally out
lined. 1t Is good thing however, that
the administration has now done, and
the issue Of the proclamation is cause
for congratulation.

Now the foreign ministers at Pekin
are safe, and then they are not, is the
story Of the dispatches from China
nowadays. IN 1t all. however. there Is
clear case Of gross exaggeration as
to the anti-foreign conduct Of the
Chinese government. Through the
maze and mystery Of conflicting re-
ports ii Is becoming clear that some
power other than China has been To-
mentlng the trouble, doubtless with
sinister motive. In this situation there
is cause for qualification to Americans
in the fact that the United States has
maintained an independent vigorous
policy which has turned neither to the
right nor the left out Of the path Of

A LESSON IN CHINESE.

The subjolned rules for the pronuncla-
ton Of Chinese names are given by an
authority on the subject, quoted by the
New York Evening sun:
There need be no serious difficulty
In sounding the many Chinese names
now appearing in the newspapers II the
reader viii remember that the vowels
In these names are uniformly those OF
the Italian or continental alphabet
namely: Q)a always about as In far;
@ always approximately as G I'm they
or then: very like in machine or PIN
o as either the Of song or how; ana
u always as the Of rule (2) Also, II
should be remembered, every syllable
has an independent value and should
be given that value In pronunciation
CD AS for cOnsOnants. they are pro-
nounced exactly as written, These three
rules viii secure as correct a pronuncia-
ton OF Chinese names as can be Sc
cured without oral instruction. For eX-
ample. under the first rule one would
say tah-koO. for Taku, not take-you
as one may frequently hear the word
pronounced. lee-hoOng -chahng for Ii
Hung Chang. not lie-hung-chang' peh-
king for Pekin. not peek-in; shang-
hah-ee for Shanghai not shanghigh
tsoong-lee- yahmen for Tsung ii va
men. not tsung lie yaymen. and so on.
Under the second rule Tien Tsin is pro-
nounced teeyen tsinn, accenung the yen
syllable. not teen tsin General Nieh's
name Is Nee-yeh. The Chinese coin tael
is not tale. but tah-aie pronounced
quickly Yun-nan "a is -nahn-too,
not yunan-fyu In like manner all
words are pronounced with syllable dis
tlnctness and with uniform vowel
sound Under the third rule the prov
ince name Szechuan is sounded. not
zekuan. but nearly as zehchooahn.

troubled far East will ind his way
through the many difficult names he Is

ture. with sufficient safety. II he VIII
but observe the three simple rules here
given for their correct pronunciation.
According to all appearances, Chinese
proper names may for some time to
come, occupy n large portion Of the
foreign dispatches. and it must be Of In
terest to the intelligent reader to have
some rules for their true pronunciation.
