In conclusion the reader will allow
us 20 remind him that the period OF
visibility OF a constellation or star
depends solely upon the latitude OF the
place OF observation. for which reason
some consultations may be seen for a
greater period OF the year than others.
All the stars describe a circle which
cuts the plane OF the horizon under
the same angle, equal In magnitude to
the difference OF 80 degrees and the
latitude, and from this follows that
stars with a greater declination, that
is, with a greater distance from the
equator. will describe larger arc
above the horizon and remain visible
for a longer period. Stars whose decli-
nation is so degrees 43 minutes or more
never set in the latitude of Baltimore
and consultations that lie within these
limits are called circumpolar, because
they describe complete circles around
the pole that do not intersect the ho-
rizon. The circle whose distance from
the pole equals the latitude OF the
place of observation is called the circle
Of perpetual apparition and forms the
limit of that part OF the sky which Il
always in view. Il is absolutely nee
essary for anyone who wishes L
know something about the period o
visibility of stars and consultations d
make himself familiar with the point
set ont in these remarks.-Baltimor

ma pREslpENI,s VIEWS.

BY virtue of his exalted Office the
president Of the United States always
commands attention when he speaks. In
the case of President Mckinley the chief
magistrate not only commands atten-
ton but thoughtful respect. His able
and broad-minded administration Of his
office for four years and his quiet atti-
tude during the storm Of an exciting
campaign We're among the silent but
mighty forces that contributed to his
reelection. It is therefore with more
than ordinary interest that the people
turn to his brief after-dinner address be-
fore the Union League Club in Philadel-
phia 20 hear him express himself as to
the results of the national verdict. With
as "a personal victory nor indulge in self
laudation. 1T is not the triumph of an
individual, nor altogether of a party, but
an emhpatfc declaration by the people
of What they believe and would have
maintained in government And what
would they have thus maintained Az
he sees the decision and graphically
etates it, the national verdict records
the unqestiored Endorsement of the gold
standard, industrial independence,
broader markets, commercial expansion,
reciprocal trade, the open door in China,
the inviolability of public faith, the in
dependence and authority of the judi
ciary, and peace and beneticent govern
ment under American sovereignty in the
Philippines. This terse summary is
worthy careful study by every citizen,
for it concerns the future more than the
past. He notices, too that the rapIb-
lican party has placed upon it tremen-
dous responsibilities No party could
dence; it Will be a greater thing TO de-
serve and hold it. To this party are
committed new and grave p robienla.
They are too exalted for partisanship.
The task of settlement is for the whole
American people While the people
themselves feel the weight of this re-
sponsibility to some extent they rest III
confidence in the guiding hand of the
manly man who stands at the helm OF
the ship Of state, and they know that
they can not drift far amiss while they
hear his assuring words: BE not dis
turbed; there is no danger from en-
pire; there is no fear for the republic

THE general tone Of the foreign press
in China is, also, calculated to set the
whole Chinese nation against foreigners
and things foreign. Columns are de-
voted daily to denouncing the Chinese
government and its officials and con-
Edemning everything which the people
hold dear and sacred. The recent un-
fortunate uprising is q god-send to VIII
tiers for the foreign press. IL furnishes
them with material for Safeguarding
the government and the people of China
without stint. Even the diplomatic rep
Hresentatives OF China abroad have not
escaped the general condemnation. DIR.
Morrison. correspondent of the Lon
don Times, went SO far as to charge my
colleague in London and myself with
barefaced mendacity. AS for myself, I
hope to be able to live down all SANDER
of this kind. But the mass of the Chi
nese people are not so philosophical.
They can not under the circumstances
entertain friendly sentiments toward
their slanderers.
Events of recent years have also
done much to increase the bitter feeling
between Chinese and foreigners. The
seizure of territory without compensa-
their Chinese owners, the rough treat
ment received by those in defense of
their rights-all these have added fuel
to the flame. In saying this, do not
wish TO convey the impression that the
They are at fault in that they are too
suspicious of foreigners, and unwilling
to learn from the outside world.
Now the question arises. What are
the remedies for this unsatisfactory
state of things? First of all, foreigners
should show more consideration for the
feelings Of the natives. Chinese Gus
toms and manners are not necessarily
bad; foreign ways are not always the
best. Foreigners should be more spar
ing in their condemnation of things
Chinese. In the next place, foreigners
in their daily intercourse with educated
Chinese should remember that true po-
iliteness is the same in China as else
where. In the third place. the foreign
press in China should assume q more
conciliatory tone toward the govern
ment and people of China. Many Chi
nese can read foreign papers. 1t would
be good thing also to send only medi-
cal missionaries to China. If this is inn
practicable, non-medical missionaries in
China should establish schools and IL
braries.
I'm conclusion. China should not be
Judged according to the foreign stand
ard. Mistakes have been committed on
both sides. Let US profit by our past
experience and avoid similar mistakes
in the future. 1t is unpleasant tocrit-
else other people. My aim in doing so is
to remove difficulties and create har-
mony and friendship. =
