largely Independent OF Chinese law
They are subject, OF course. to Imperial
sovereignty, but in local affairs they
have become almost autonomous, q.
sort of petty Emporium in lmperio. This
may have been done without any in.
tention of disoyalty to the Chinese
government or Of antagonism toward
the local ard provincial authorities.
Nevertheless it Is always annoying to
the Chinese-as 1t would be to US or to
any other people-and 1t often becomes
quite intolerable. Yet If the Chinese
authorities Interfere and attempt to
enforce upon the Christian community
the reminder that 1t is just as much
subject to the civil law of China as
ever the cry of persecution for faiths
sake is again raised. Add to this the
fact that the Christian powers behind
the missionaries are constantly making
agsressions upon China, forcing her to
modify her laws and customs to suit
their selfish purposes and Selling bits
of her territory, and ii is little wonder
that those Chinese who judge things
by a appearances come TO the conclusion
that Christians are really political
agents, intent upon undermining and
and partitioning the Chinese empire.
This statement of the case as some Of
the most competent observers, includ-
ing missionaries, have seen 1t. We re-
peat that 1t is not condemnation of
missionaries or OF missionary work. II
is merely recognition of evils that
have crept into such work, chiefly thru
the guile of some ofthe Chinese them
selves. 1t is no argument against mis-
sionary enterprise. but rather one in
favor of prosecuting 1t with renewed
zeal on the highest possible plane of
disinterestedness and with the utmost
possible tact. Neither is at an argu-
ment against prompt and rigorous sup
preston of the present revolt. For it is
the duty Of law and order to suppress
cause Moreover. the old principle of.
power AID responsibility holds good.
The outside powers ave for years been
exercising their authority in China,
practically coercing the Chinese gov
eminent: and therefore they are under
a morals responsibility for the main
tenance Of order there. But it Is de-
sirablc always to keep in mind that
Chinese hatred is directed not against
Christianity as a religion. but against
Christians personally, and that be-
cause of a notion that they are political.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL TICKET.

EDUCATIONAL PHASE OF a PROBLEM.

Chaurcay sDepew says that had there.
been a successful national university in
Washington fifty years ago there never
would have been a9ciTil war. Such is
the value the senator places, not upon.
education alone. for here Were plents.
of successful universities in the United
States fifty years ago. but upon the
unity of education in all sections of the.
ty of a republic that its people should
lninsle together; that they should
understand each other. that upon some
occasions at least, all classes should
be brought together, the rich and the
poor, t e wise and the ignorant, the.
high and the low. Applying this
thought in another direction Lucia,
Griswoid of Nebraska says:
It is one Of the safeguards of DEM.
ocracy that there Is one day in the,
year in which social caste is forgotten;.
in which each man is sovereign, and
holds a ballot as powerful as thar Of
any other man. the interrningling Of
men in ali positions of life in political
campaigns has had il Wholesome effect
in preserving our democratic institu-
tions.
There is a noticeable fact that lines
of caste are drawn more closely among
women than among men. and this is
largely due TO the fact that women Of
different positions in society have no
common interest To Unite them as men
have; and inaslnuch as women almost
wholly shape the sociallif of a nation
it is of momentous importance that
they too should have some point of
unity; and the ballot viii be of as
much value TO women in this respect
as st has been to men.
It has been observed that in the or

paigns III recent years that the social
woman has grown broader and kinder
toward the working woman and the
working woman has become less bitter

the principles Of true democracy Will
enter into our social fabric as we'll as

classes will understand each other
better and much of our civic strife will
! come to an end.

STOCK MARKET WAS DULL

New York, July 19-The dullness Of to- days market was almost unrelieved by any feature of interest until the last hour, when a sharp upward movement developed in a number of specialties. This was sufii- cient to induce a sluggish general rally in the market, which had fallen considerably below last night at some points. The clos ing was therefore, firm but dull and the net changes were insignificant except in a handful of stocks.
 Sugar led the late advance and moved up an extreme 35sc on the expectation of further rise in the price of the refined out put, which is now higher than for several years past The margin between the price of the raw and refined sugar is now suffi- cient, according to the experts, to yield large profit on refining. Pacific Mail rose sharply over Tuesdays high level on re- newed speculation over the benefits to ac- crue from transport of military stores to China.
 The steel stocks were generally strong on the encouraging view of the Iron Age of the trade outlook. Steel hoop and tin plate were effected in reports of buying demand from their products. Otherwise the market was barren of interest.
 The growing seriousness of the situation in China must be ascribed as the chief im- mediate cause of todays dullness. The re- suit most to be apprehended from the Chi nese war seemed to be the affect on the money markets of the world Today's ad- vance from to in the Bank of England minimum rate of discount and the depart ure of a steamer bearing over $2,000,000 in gold from New York were the impressive facts which called attention to this feature of the situation. The Bank of England has used its own and the government resources for some time past to hold the London market. The continued demand for gold from the Bank of France apparently did not affect this policy. But there are now indi- cations that the French institution has about satisfied its recuperative needs. Sterl- ing exchange at Paris rose another half certime today and the Bank of France has renewed its loan expansion.

maintained. Prices melted away to such an extent that when by the time our mar ket opened English contracts had reached the level of last night and later became so weak that the closing shows a loss on the near positions from 2-64ths to 4-64ths and on new crops about 21a-64ths. Being somewhat disappointed by the failure of the foreign market to hold it's early advance, the Amer ican market opened a shade lower than yesterday. New Orleans, losing about 8 points on the opening call, became uneasy over the serious condition of affairs in China and with fusilade of offerings from the bear ranks, declined sharply to a level of 23 points below the close of last night, August selling at 9.49 and October at S.04. The market however developed reaction ary tendency when about F points of the decline was regained, prices finally closing 1f and F points lower than last night on August and October, respectively. It was stated that New York declined the weakness of Liverpool, while cables from abroad say that the English market went off the weakness of New York, which makes it appear that both markets being in the dark were afraid of one another. Another version given for the rapid break was that a high official of Southwestern railroads had stated in interview that the cotton crop of this part of the coun- try was excellent; So far, there has been taken on July contracts over 21 900 bales, which leaves but a small portion of the To- cal stocks available to liquidate the inter- est in August, but the shorts hope to be able to accomplish this by arrivals of new cotton from Texas Spots unchanged at 10 3-16c.
