AMERICA IN CHINA.

Scribner's Magazine for March con-
tins the final article in the remarkable
series in which Mr.. Thomas F. Willard, a
war correspondent, has dealt with the
work of the foreign armies in China, and
Won Waldersee's tardy campaign of re-
venge.
In his concluding paper Mr.. Willard
writes of the terms upon which the war
can be ended and the whole veXatious
problem solved forever. He confirms the
views of other close observers that the
ne nation Which comes out of the Chin
csc crisis with entire credit is America.
OF all the powers, her moral and politl-
cal conduct throughout this affair shines
brilliantly. And the Chinese know it,"
Mr. Willard re ates a significant episode
at a banquet to Commissioner Rockhil
and some navy officers at Hankow last
autumn, in the very heart of the Yang
tse-Na,ley, at the time when Won Wal
Ger e. was devastating the re ion around

United States as contrasted With that

many facts which showed perfect knowl-
edge of the situation and particularly
referred To the refusal Of Admiral Kempf
to participate in the bombardment of the
Taku forts. and expressed the hope thai
the restoration of peace would lead to

China and America

Mark Twain as might have been ex-
pected is again the subject of severe
criticism for his address before the
committee Of the New York legislature
at Albany on osteopathy. 1t is not to be
supposed that his critics are all opposed
to osteopathy, either, as the following
from the Boston Transcript will show
In other words, anyone who desires
OSteOpathic treatment in Boston can
have it in the most approved form, and
as those who are in the business seem
to be d fairly prosperous fraternity We
presume there are d good many who do
desire it. Osteopathy will net heal all
diseases. We never saw any 'pathy that
would, but we are by no means sure that
it hasn't been fighting it's way to a legi-
innate, as it certainly has to a rec
ognized, place among the methods upon
| which the public may reasonably de-
pend for relief in time of physical
trouble. We do not know whether it
can lay claim to the Gisn,ty of being a
school or not. 1t doesn't much natter
! if it can prove its usefulness by it's re-
| suits in comparison with other forms Of
| practice. The public does net take q
| profound interest in the disputes Of tile
| pathies. The public is largely made
| up of those whose beliefs and sympa-
| thieS are elastic.
The later developments OF medical sci
ence have helped to strengthen laymen
| in this position. Practice is all the time
| becoming less general and more special,
| so why should not the patients special
ize in their choice as we'll the doc
tors in their practice. Osteopathy is
| not uuackery, whatever else it may be
| considered or called. 1t is an oTshoot as
| much as any other form of practice. 1t
| was started and developed by a Learned
and skilled physician. and his disciples
are by no means made up of ilnposters
| We are inclined to sympathize with this
| sentiment uttered by Mr.. Clemens at
| Albany: "Now gentlemen of the COM
| mittee, the alopaths and homoepaths
on the one side, say they ought to cure
the people. The osteopaths, on the other
say they OLeit to cure them. Why
don't you compromise, then, and give
them all a chance:'

PROSPERITY IN MEXICO.

Former Secretary John w. Foster. in
York Tribune, presents few hSUres mat
show how Mexico has grown since It's
government fell into capable hands. In
1875. the year previous to the accession
Of President Diaz, the total imports
amounted to less than $4,000, 900, and
during the fiscal year of 1899 the i'm
norts had increased to S1o6. 900 in sill
Yer. The same gratifying condition has
attended the export commerce. In 1873
the eSports were $4,000. 600, and during
The last fiscal year they amounted tot
SIG coo. 900. thus showing the enormous
increase of 800 and 800 per cent. In the
order of their Importance the leading ar
ticles imported were as follows: Ma
chinary. cotton textiles iron and steel.
wines and liquors. wood textiles, paper
and crude cotton.
It is gratifying to note that the United
States leads all other countries in the
amount of this import trade. having
about One-half of the total Great Brl-
tam coming ItAl With ~ PSA NNA'''
France and Germany with 40 per cent
each. leaving 10 per cent divided among
Spain. Belgium and other countries. The
leading classes of imports from the Unit

| ton. steel rails. mineral oil, vegetable
oils, carriages (railroad, etc), cotton
! cloths. electrical apparatus, wearing ap'
parel. hardware, sewing machines, furni

No favor should you ask today,
For don't you see, it's Lent.

And pose as penitent."

And no resolve would subvert
For hope of paradise:
The path of duty ne'er forsake.
But don't you think you ought to make
A Lenten sacrifice?''

And would you be content with this?''
She asked in doubling mood.
"Why, no." he said, 'twould nobler be
If you would sacrifice to me
The maid longed have wOoed."

''Why, yes" he earnestly replied;

into consideration the fact that the
country possesses really fourteen mil
lions of people. There has been cause
in the past for the comparatively small
import trade in the disordered condition
of the country the poverty of its inha-
bitants. and the habit of the mass of
the people of subsisting on the bare ne
cessities of life. The enlarged COM
merce under the Diaz regime illustrates
the effect of peace and prosperity in en-
aiding the inha bitants to consume more
largely of comforts and Injuries from
abroad. If this era of peace and good
government shall become the fixed order
of the country there is no reason why
the present import trade may not be
doubled within a few years, and if
American merchants and manufacturers
will study more intimately the condi-
tions of trade in Mexico they will be
able not merely to maintain their pres
ent pre-eminence, but even to increase
their ratio.

the United States strikes out her own
course and follow 1t. What he has seen
and heard has convinced him that nei-
Their Great Britain nor any other Euro
pean power is to be trusted, and that
the United States stands alone in her
fr.ankness and disinterestedness. He
holds England responsible for the punt
tive expedition. which she could easily
have prevented by Il single word, and
for much of the eXasperating delay of fl
nal settlement. He says:
NO one desires to abridge the exist
ing era of good feeling between England
and the United States but | am afraid
that England's attitude toward China in
the forthcoming settlement must not be
taken entirely for granted. Nor can I
bind myself to the fact that her actual
conduct in China has been neither always
in sympathy with the open door, nor
considerable of the interests of the Unit
ed States. For next to China, the United
States has, more than any other nation,
footed the bin for the punitive campaign.
and sands to suffer most from an irrIa-
rional or de'ayed settlement
1t is certainly an instructive fact that
his China crisis, which was looked to
to bring America and England together,
has really swung them farther apart.
Time and time again in China we have
found ourselves at cross purposes with
our kinsuen. 1t was England that stood
out most stubbornly against our conciia-
| tory program. and it was Russia that
, took the mi: alive in accepting it. Very
little has been heard of late about an al
lance of America ana England for the
open door" That sentimental dream
| has wOfuliy faded.
| But it is really all for the best. Ameri-
| can diplomacy has won signal triumph
| in China. Never before was our inl,u-
! ence SO potent. We have attained this
pos, zion of power by reliance upon our
| own resources. We have come to a point
| now where we need no alliance-where
I all nations court our friendship and
