chu descent, and therefore foreign to a
very large proportion of the Chinese people,
but it is not perhaps so widely known that
is the third and not the first Manchu
dynasty which has ruled at Pekin.
The Manchus, like the Chinese, belong,
broadly speaking. to the Mongol family, but
are as distinct a race as are. say,the French
and Spanish. both Latin races, or the Eng
lish and German. both Teutonic. Still the
waves Of revolution. as they passed over
Eastern Asia, washed out to a certain
degree the edges which marked the divi-
eion of races. and the Manchus have been
largely absorbed by the stronger Chinese,
bot altogether to the improvement of the
latter.
The Manchus are primarily a warlike peo-
pie. and that they have certain administra-
tive capacities is proved by the fact that
they have preserved their ascendency over
China ever since 1914, when, having been
called In to restore order at Pekin. then in
a state of revolution. they refused to leave
after their task was done, and seized the
reins of government which they have ever
since held. Their methods were simple and
comprehensive. The Imperial army was
constituted Of Manchus. the heads of de-
partments and Ministers belonged to the
Imperial Clan. while Manchus We're planted
all over the country in positions where they
could act at once as spies and sponges.
The character Of these people, who were
known to the Chinese as Tartars, was re-
ferkable for its conservatism and exclu-
kiveness. partly accounted for by their lack
4 OF commercial interest or enterprise. They
had won the land with their swords and by
their clever diplomacy. and they did not
desire to open or develop. but merely to
make q fat. and IL possible. a lazy living
out OF It.
Tho Chinese. on the contrary. are a mos.
Industrious. commercial people, but lack the
instinct Of self-government. which made It
easier for the Manohus to establish them
selves on tho throne. Nevertheless the ma
tionaI spirit has by no means died out from
among the majority OF tho Chinese, who,

A PATHETIC STORY.
Related OF "a scotch Missionary, Cam
nibnI Indians. and Church
of England.

A very remarkable story was told by
Senator Vest, of Missouri, to the
Washington Post day or two ago.
"The most pathetic scene l ever wit
nessedinmy life, said he, was the out
come of a very singular and curious
condition OF affairs. Up in British
North America there was tribe of
Indians under the control of native
sorcerers. and practicing all manner
of savage rites Among other things,
these Indians were caninbals. a
Scotchman, named Duncan, went
among them. and at the risk of his
own life civilized them. He taught
them every dogma OF our religion ex-
cept the Lords Supper. His great
work had been 10 win them from can
nibalism, to teach them that captur-
ing and then roasting and devouring
human beings was barbarous. He was,
therefore, afraid TO acquaint them
with the sacrament of the Lords Sup
per. because they would, in turn, ask
him why it was wrong to eat each
other and yet part of religion to eat
their God. lie doubted his ability to
explain the matter satisfactorily to
their untutored minds, and SO for fear
that they would regard him as an inn
postor and return TO their barbarous
ways, he let the matter rest
This was not satisfactory" eontin-
ued Senator Vest. as he told the story,
ito the governor of the province of
Vancouver OF the bishop of the Eng
lish church, both Of whom demanded
that he should either administer the
Sacrament or else give up his lay min
istry in the church. Duncan explained
the reasons which had actuated him,
but they were not accepted as suffi-
cient. He appealed 70 the highest au-
thorities OF the Church OF England,
and was overruled. he went back to
his Indians and asked them II they
would accompany him to Alaska.
where they would be under flag that
guaranteed religious freedom. Al
moss the entire tribe Of 300 Indians
decided to follow him.

The time has come said, ex-Minister
Barrett in an address on the Philippine
situation before the Union League
Club, of Chicago, when the country
must take either the opinions of actual
observers such as Dewey, Sehurman,
Beyeridge, Denby, and the late Cen
eral Lawton, or men who have watched
events from distance of $1,000 miles.
Are we to accept" he asked, "the
opinions of Colonel Bryan, of Nebraska
or those of Colonel Stotsenburg, OF
Nebraska, who fell leading his mon on
the battlefield? Colonel Bryan SAYS
that we provoked the conflict, and are
solely responsible for it. Colonel
Stotsenburg, in command Of a Nebras-
ka regiment stationed at that point of
the line around Manila where the first

TIE PENNA. r. r. PENSIONS.

The pension and age limit plans
adopted by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company went into effect on New
Years Day, and, as a consequence,
sion in this city.
In some Of the large cities great num-
bers OF employees will be affected by
reason OF having passed their 10th
milestone, which is now the age limit
of an employee in that company, The
company has also adopted the policy
of not taking in their service persons
over 35 years. Young mon they are
after and those who have passed this
age will have to be specialist il they
wish to hire their services to the com
pany. In few years, if the plan is
continued, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will have the finest body Of
men in its employ of any similar COR
poration in the world.
In a circular recently issued of the
new plans. it says. All officers and
employees who have attained the age
of 20 years, or who being between 65
and 20, shall have been 80 or more
years in the service OF the company,
shall be relieved and placed on the
pension roll.
For each year Of service per cent.
of the average regular monthly pay
for the ten years preceding retirement,
shall be tho amount of pension re-
ceived. To make it plain they give as
an example, that il an employee has
been i'll the service 40 years and re.
ceiyed an average of $40 per month
for ten years, he shall receive an al
lowance of 40 per cent, or SIC per
month. The allowance terminates al
the death of the beneficiary
Persons who accept this pension al
lowance are not debarred from en-
gaging in other business, but such
persons cannot re-onter service.
Concerning the age limit the circu-
lar states that no person shall be taken
over So years of age, except with the
approval of the board of directors.
Persons may, irrespective of age
limit, be employed when the service
for which they are needed requires pro
fessional or other special qualifica
tions.
Employees may be re- employed with
in period of three years from the
time they leave the service.
Other corporations will likely watch
plans, and will probably adopt them
in the future if they accomplish near
that which the originators claim for
them.

The prevalence OF carelessness is in
stanced by the fact that last year the
Dead Letter Office at Washington re-
ceived nearly 1000, 900 pieces of mail
matter, less than 700, 900 of which had
the return address enabling the oflici-
ais to send them back unopened More
than that, the letters contained money,
drafts, checks, ETC., amounting to ST.
1853, 900, sent by 43, 308 persons. Add
to these letters that reach the Dead
Letter Office the thousands that reach
business firms, but do not give a trace
whence they came, and it is certain in
correspondence that the carelessness
lies with the people.

At the session of Legislature on
Monday night, the joint committee in
charge of the Hobart memorial cere-
monies held a meeting, at which it was
finally decided that Attorney General
John w. Griggs should be the orator
Of the day. The acceptance of the
Attorney General was received last
night, and it was decided to let him
designate the day for the memorial,
which will probably be about the mid
die of February.
II was also suggested by Attorney
General Griggs that an invitation be
extended to President Mckinley and
the membars of his Cabinet to attend
the memorial. This will also be done,
and the fact that the suggestion comes
from the Attorney General leads to the
| belief that the President may accept
the invitation and visit the city at that
time. Further details of the memorial
were left to a subsequent session.

Strong opposition is developing in
South Jersey to the scheme for abolition
OF spring elections. There are no first
class cities in that section, and as
long as the change should affect only
these cities, South Jersey was indifer-
ent. As it is now proposed to make
the change general, South Jersey
towns perceive the evils in the pro-
posed legislation and want none of it.
Neither do the people of North Jersey.
