The nmnhn RnIIfrht.

Bullfighting appears TO have become
popular in Omaha, and this popularity
is owing to a circumstance curiously at
variance with the widely advertised
humane" character Of the diversion.
1t was announced that the swords of
the matadors would be mere wooden
weapons covered with tinfoil, and that
their other belongings would be innoc-
uous to the bull It was further ex-
planned that the animals would in no
case suffer death, the entertainment
consisting entirely Of the skillful wor-
rying and provoking which the m3ta-
dors were able to inflict. 1t is an open
question whether any self-respecting
bull would not rather be killed than
plagued to death, but the opinion of the
animals was not asked.
The thorough understanding on these
points established and proclaimed by
the Humane Society, however, seemed
10 make the fight very tame and un-
interesting affair. The people who oc-
cupied the benches saw no blood. and
heard no sounds of anguish. Their
sensibilities were not narrowed by any
display of cruelty or Of rage. The bulls
capered about and so did the mata-
dors, and each seemed to be informing
the other what he would do to him if it
were not for hurting the feelings Of the
authorities. The consequence was that
the box Office looked like a waste paper
basket, and the house like the desert of
Sahara before caravans were organ
lied. 1t was a lean and improbable
entertainment.
But the Humane Society had over
looked the little matter of securing the
bulls cooperation in this bloodless af-
fair For obvious reasons, IL was i'm
possible to explain to him that he was
not to be killed or hurt. and that red
is just as good as blue, if you only
think so, He was not familiar with faith
cure doctrines or absent treatment, even
if II had been tried. He was an unregen-
crate heather, and acted as such. II
he had not, there would have been even
less fun for the spectators than there
was. Once thoroughly convinced that
the matador was as peaceful as a hired
hand. Monsieur Bos would have lain
calmly down and gone to chewing his

The result Of lack of cooperation on
his part was that one of the matadors
was finally caught on a lively pair OF
horns and tossed forty feet into the air,
and is now lying in a hospital with
some fractured ribs, a lacerated chest,
and. in all probability. hard feelings to-
ward the Humane Society and its most
ungrateful protege. a further result
was that there were seven thousand
spectators at the next performance,
and that the treasury Is as fat as it
formerly was lean. The reason for this
is obvious. The kind of people who go
to bullfight are like the infant Tod
die; they want blood. and If they do not
get Il they stay away. When they go
TO a circus they want to see a trapeze
act In which the acrobat is In immi-
nent danger of being killed or crippled

It is matter for congratuiation that
American missionaries and their fami-
lies are not involved in the native out
break reported from the Island OF
Quelpart. which is in the Yellow Sea,
sixty miles south of Korea, and belongs
to that country. From the meagre ac-
count we have of the occurrence, it ap-
pears that the island is the seat Of a
fourishing French Catholic mission,
which maintains a large school attend
ed bv several hundred young Koreans.
Recently. trouble arose between the
missionaries and their pupils on one
hand. and the populace on the other
A fight followed. in which, il is stated,
fifteen Of the islanders and three hun
dred Of the mission pupils were killed
Hearing that two French citizens had
been murdered in the melee. a French
ship went to the place. but found the
objects Of its visit alive and Well, ana
so steamed away again.
As a rule. missionaries have Jared
rather well in Korea Of late years, but
the Quelpart episode seems to justify
a suspicion that hatred of their class
has swept over the Chinese border, and
that they may not be as safe in the
future as in the past All the Aslauc
peoples resent their presence and their
propaganda. and there is no room for
doubt that as. long as they remain in
the Chinese and Korean dominions
there always will be trouble. The point
10 note is that if such thing as the
slaughter Of three hundred converts
can happen in the Hermit Kingdom,
what are we to expect in the Chinese
Empire. after the troops have been
withdrawn?

The rumors which have been current
of late in regard TO an alleged intention
on the part of Eastern Republican pro-
tectionists TO oppose the reelection of
Mr. Henderson to the Speakership of the
House of Representatives continue to ma

little. Western Republicans VIGOROUSLY
are N favor of revision as to number Of
articles unnecessarily protected under
the Dingley law to the obvious detriment
of the public. Were an open fight to be
made it is possible that they might form
a coalition with the House Democrats and
make a lot of trouble for the New Eng
land Old Guard, led by Senator Hoar. As
matters stand AT present Mr.. Henderson
appears to be safe. and there is not a bit

Another stone thrown at the American
tariff hog, The Kyoto Chamber of Com
merce has petitioned the Japanese Gov
ernment to place a high duty on Ameri-
can petroleum, in retaliation for the ex-
cessive customs taxes levied by the Unit
ed States on japanese goods. The au-
thorities at Tokyo may grant the request,
but il will make no difference in our
conduct. We have lusty infant industry
up the Connecticut River, devoted to the
production of warranted imported Japa-
nese articles. from cloisonne ware down
to punk, and it must be protected against
the cheap labor of the Mikado's Empire.
1t will not do to say that the Connecticut
japanese rugs brass and lacquer work,
idols, embroideries. and SO on are base
limitations and do not deserve protection.
The people who bny such commodities
do not know the difference, and if the
manufacturers do. it is not for them TO
complain. While Platt and Hawley are
Senators from the Nutmeg State we 90
not believe that the interests of their
constituents who produce the only gen
uine japanese goods. out of native raw
materials, ever will be neglected or al
lowed to be jeopardiZed.

FOREIGN TOPICS.

port whether its language can be modified

of the Protestant succession" has issued,
the following report:
That the declaration required OF the
sovereign on his accession by the Bill OF
Rights can be modified advantageously
and for the future should be as follows:
I. A. B.. by the grace of God King (or
Queen) Of Great Britain and Ireland. De-
fender of the Faith. do solemnly and sin
cerely, in the presence of God, profess.
testify. and declare that l do believe that
in the Sacrament of the Lords Supper
there is not any transubstantiation of the
elements OF bread and wine into the body
and blood of Christ at or after the con-
secration thereof by any person whatso-
ever. And do believe that the invocation
or alteration of the Virgin Mary or any
other saint and the sacrifice Of the mass
as they are now used in the Church OF
Rome are contrary to the ProteS tant re-
ligion. And / do solemnly. in the presence
OF God. profess. testify. and declare that
] do make this declaration and every part
thereof unreservedly
The important passage in the original
version which it is now proposed TO
change read:
That do believe that in the Sacrament
of the Lords Supper there is not any
trausubstantiation of the elements OF
bread and wine into the body and blood
of Christ at or after the conservation
thereof by any person whatsoever, and
that the invocation or alteration OF the
Virgin Mary or any other saint and the
sacrifice of the mass as they are now
used in the Church of Rome are supersti-
tious and idolatrous"
