HOPES AND FEARS IN CHINA

Picking is still shroudel IN uncertainty. The
world hopes the message from Mr.. Conger is
authentic, but largely fears il is not. Three
days lave not sufficed either to confirm or TO
liscredit it. Colonel Hay continues TO express
confidence in il, though he does not deny the
possibility of deception. Doubtless his belief
that it is genuine Is one of the very strongest
grounds for general belief TO the same effect
for in the nature of the case there can be no
better judge Of the matter than he. Besides.
since one but he knows the exact contents
of his message TO Mr. COnger and Of Mr.. Con
gers alleged reply. no one but he can tell what
secret and convincing proof Of authenticity the
latter contains On the other hand. there is to
be noted grave discrepancy between Mr.. Con
gers dispatch and Imperial Chinese rescript
of the same date. the former representing the
Ministers as in deadly peril. under shot and
shell. and the latter declaring the" TO be safe
Gnder Government protection. 1t is not easy to
reconcile the two statements. Yet If one Of them
DC false. there is poor assurance that the other
coming through the same channels, is true.
Whether the dispatch from Mr. C0nger he au-
thentic or spurious, however, both this Nation
and all interested Powers owe a debt of graft

ferprise Of his attempt 10 solve the mystery Of
Peking and 10 Mr.. Wa for his energetic CO.

1t viii not escape considerable attention, more
over. that whether the dispatch be false or

China receives additional vindicatiOn. If Il be
false. and If the Ministers have already fallen

DECENCF IN PUBLIC PLACES.

That perennial boon OF the more or less comic
paragraph writer and caTicaturst. the Asbury
Park bathing suit, il again much in evidence.
Mr. Bradley, the founder of Asbury Park and
owner Of lts beach. is directing strenuous eff
fort toward combining the use of bathing suits
to the actual place of bathing. or at least
toward discouraging the indiscriminate use Of
them common attire in the streets and in all
places of public resort. There is OF course. n
pother raised over it, and professional funny
mem find In II much food for mirth and scOrn.
Mr.. Bradley il reported 10 have said that he
is moved in his crusade not by motives Of
morality or Of propriety much by aesthetic
considerations. Upon any OF these grounds his
case would be strong one. But its most OBJ
vious and perhaps most forceful ground s that

lie nuisance. II is not agreeable to people Of
taste and sef-respect to see the free-fOrall and

many resorts under the name of bathing by
crowds of scantily clad men and women. friends

they would actually go 10 the beach. roll around

the beach and return home in the same fashion,

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Two rival colored religious bodies met on Sunday

an immersion There considerable badinage on
the part of both congregations before the cere-
mony, their only common anInating impulse ap-
pareutly being a tendency TO scatter like sheep
without a shepherd when a collection was an
nounced. AS Bishop Cawley conducted a white
man to the river of his adherents called out !:
You people amt the only that will have an
attraction. Our minister IL gon' to 'merse a white
gemman." To which member of the other body
replied "Shucks! our colOred lady minister is
gon' To 'merse IA SOO-pound black man You isn't

point. and the lady minister had some trouble
in getting into deep water. FINALLY" says

THE DRIFT TO THE CITIES.

The drift Of population to the cities is no new
But II is likely that the Census of 1900 will show
that it has grown greatly in strength during the
last decade. In fact. without its cities and
towns the United States would be to-day one Of
the most sparsely populated countries in the
civilized world. Nor does this tendency result
only in adding to the population of cities and
towns already in existence though if it did only
that 1t would be worthy of careful study by
the sOciologlst. But when n virgin territory Is
opened to settlement rs In the case of Okla
homa a few years ago, towns begin to spring up
as If by magic. 1t is in the towns of n newly
settled region indeed. that the life of the infant
community Is shaped. where its men of mark
and leadership In religion. in politics and in
social life may DE found: and it il to the town
with its supposed greater pleasures and oppor-
tunities that the ambitious farm lad fired with
n secret ambition, looks and 10 which he Is al
most sure To gravltate. All this In SO much il
matter Of course that we are apt 70 think that
il could not necessarily be otherwise Yet II

able, in many cases would be much more con
duciye 10 happiness, and in fact would he
almost universal were not mankind to-day gre
garious almost 10 the point of monomania
If we ask for some rational explanation OF
this gregarous tendency we are furnished with
many plausible explanations, none of which
however, are quite convincing Men drift 10
the cities, we are told, because of sense OF
