THE QUESTION OF AN EXTRA
SESSION.

The President and his cabinet have de-
cided that the condition of affairs in Chi
ma does not yet make an extra session Of
Congress necessary. They intend 10 get
along without an extra session II possible.
They are afraid probably that II Congress
were called together 1t would devote most
of its time to the discussion of public
questions involved in the presidential cam
paign Indeed. It is probable that they
think a session OF Congress at this time
would be hurtful to the Presidents polit-
zeal prospects.
The effect a war with China would have
on the Presidential election is receiving
good deal of attention. There is a differ
ence Of opinion, of course, at to whether
or not such a war would lessen the Pres
idents chances for reelection. Some of
the ablest politicians think it would, be-
cause the tendency of II would be to &c
centuate the charge of Imperialism which
has been made against his admlnistratio
1t is a very wise man, however, who can
correctly forecast how certain events Will
affect political situation. The reason is
that it is impossible to foresee all of the
factors of the situation. For instance, TO
one could foresee what effect war be-
tween the Powers and China would have
on the money market. The money market
is certain 10 have a great influence on the
election, whether there is war between
the Powers and China or not but If there
should be war its influence would be very
much greater
There is no desire for war by the lead
ers of either party. The President and his
advisers will do everything they can TO
prevent war, and IL is certain that the
Democratic leaders will do nothing likely
to bring 1t about. The United States
have nothing 10 gain by a war with China
On the contrary, they have much TO lose.
Therefore, the United States will not ac-
knowledge that they are at war with China
If they can honorably avoid doing so. At
the same time they will not shirk any
duty or responsibility which rightfully de-
wolves upon them. They will not permit
themselves to be drawn by European
Powers into positions intended to benefit
these Powers rather than themselves.
There is a hope that the troubles in
China can be settled without war be-
tween the Powers and China. 1t is evil
ident that the influence of some of the
most powerful of the Chinese viceroys will
be exerted in the direction of peace. 1t
will be definitely known within a few
days whether or not the President will
have need of the assistance of Congress.

TWO billions. two hundred and forty-four

an apparent balance of trade in our favor

before exported American products that

According 10 Shanghai advices, 1000
Chinese troops, armed with Mausers and
modern rifles. are encampedat three points
within forty miles of that city, ready to
descend upon 1t in the event of an attack
upon the forts. These Mausers and mod
ern rifles are European made weapons,
and European officers have taught the
Chinese how to use them. Ii was prob
ably Europeen-made weapons that were
employed in battering down the legations
in Pekin and killing the ministers, the

been doing a big business in arms and
ammunition with Asia during the past sew

NOT A FINANCIAL SUCCESS.

The Paris correspondents of the news
papers of this country are making It very
clear that the exposition is a financial fail
ure. 1t is regrettable of course, that those
who are financially interested in the insti-
tuition are TO suffer losses, but it Is doubt
full II the announcement that the number
OF exposition visitors is not nearly as
great as was expected produces sorrow in
this or any other country outside of
France. From all accounts about
everybody in Paris who caters in
any way to the public has played
the gouge game from the very beginning
Of the exposition. The prices of every
thing have been placed far above what
is reasonable. Hotels and restaurants
have adted on the idea that they have
struck a gold mine, and that they have
chance to get rich quickly. Extortion has
been the rule everywhere. The couse-
quence is that the movement to Paris has
not been anything like what Ii was ex-
pected 10 be. The steamship companies
are preparing to cut rates for the fall and
Paris hotel and restaurant keepers are de-
nying in New York papers that the rates
charged are exorbitant. The attendance
was expected to be about double that of
the 1889 exposition AS a matter OF fact,
il is very considerably below ito 900 a day
below IT, 1t is evident from these figures
that somebody stands an excellent chance
of losing a good bit of money. AS a mat
ter of fact the exposition is far from being
as fine sthe Chicago Exposition was.
There Is no very good reason. therefore
why Americans should pay twice what it
Is worth to see the Paris Exnosition

FATHER OF KINDERGARTEa.
FrOebel Looked to Women n His :
Natural Ally to Make It
n Success.

After spending years wrestling with
the problems of education, Friedrich
Froebel, founder of the kindergarten,
arrived at the conclusion that the
school could never be a success until
the home performed it's function as an
educational institution also, writes
Patterson Dubois, in the March Ladies'
Home Journal. Thenceforth his doni-
nant interest was focused on the cradle
rather than on the schoolhouse. He
became the great apostle OF the home,
lie looked to woman as his natural
ally, yet he was not oblivious to the
fathers part in homemaing. His.
proposition for general educational
union was addressed to fathers. He
FIRMLY believed, however, that woman
was to be the worlds great education
al force. She was to regenerate the
race. Yet he realized that this meant
that she must suffer even as he suf-
fered. whoever win go with me-" he
said, must undertake q great deal,
must suffer ridicule and blame, and let
themselves be burned or torn in pieces"
He wanted a mother to be something
more than 'sbeloved mother" He
says: "In order to- render the COM
mand of Christ effective, education in
the family must first be reformed,
otherwise there will be no solid foun-
aation for subsequent education to
stand on"

An Ocean OF Liuuid Air.

Sir John Murray, in recent address,
drew n vivid picture OF the time, in
the remote future, when temperatures
AS low as those which Prof. Dewar pro-
duces in his experiments at the Royal
institution viii prevail all over the
earth. The atmosphere and the oceans
will then have disappeared within the
rocky crust of the globe, their ele-
ments having entered into new coEnbi-
nations. In other words, TO use Sir
John Murray's expression, 1.-THE waters
of the ocean will have become solid
rock" But over their surface Will roll
the waves of a new and most wonderful
sea. IAN ocean of liquid air about 40
feet in depth" At that time, of course,
life as we know it will have vanished
from the earth.
