The Germans in China are said to
be spelling for a fight with Uncle Sans
hostility in a way that recalls the overt
acts of the Germans at Manila. Why is
this thus? Why should Germans feel
hostile towards this nation? Is Ger
many jealous that so many of her sons
have left her to become American citi-
zens? Oddly enough. it is not the high
German officers, who are very friendly,
but the rank and file of the German
army that exhibit this hostility.

Miss McGrath, a st. Louis kitchen
maid, won a $4,000 piece of property
in a rattle held for the purpose of rails
ing funds to build a church and paro-
chial school. As a matter Of course,
this sum means quite a little fortune to
a woman working for her living. But
Miss McGrath seemed to think that as
long as she had determined to help her
church to the utmost of her ability, she
should stop at nj sacrifice. So she
promptly donated the $4,000 lot back to
the church, asking only a rosary for
herself. Here is a gift that eel Car
negie never equalled, for Miss McGrath
gave away all of her newly acquired
fortune.

AT the village of Rosyln, Long Island,
an old church which the congregation
was unable ito maintain was bought by
an enterprising saloonist who has turn
ed it into a saloon. The benches and
pulpit were pulled out and a bar placeo
Hhere the choir loft had been. The
beer 'shorse" was placed exactly in the
spot where the pulpit had stood, and in
stead of dry sermons, cooling beer is
on draught. More people come here

<he oIds world e the customs dukie~ -
enforced.
Z consider the preventing OF free en-
trance Of works of art into the United
States most idiotfcally barbarous," says
Mr.. Morgan. Il expect to induce the
customs authorities to let these unique
treasures gathered by Mannheim enter
free as educational material. Any way,
rather than pay one cent of duty, I will
resell them or give them to some Euro
pean museum"
Now, if Mr.. Morgan had gone at Mr..
Gage in a different manner, say, as the
Sugar Trust did when it had a special
duty placed on Russian sugar for its
protection, or the Tobacco Trust. when
it caused the administration to turn a
complete somersault on its Porto Rican
tariff policy, if Mr.. Morgan had adopted
some such tactics, there isn't the least
doubt in the world that Mr.Gage would
have easily found a way to accommo-
date the Emperor of Finance and back
err of the administration, especially
since the admission of the Mannheim
art collection free would be a just and
popular ruling. But this open chal-
lenge to the Secretary of the Treas
ury to set aside the law in The special
case Of Nj. Morgan simply because Mr..
Morgan demands it, may be a little too
much to ask. Mr.. Gage is, in effect.
commanded to get down on his knees
and acknowledge the boss-ship of Nor
gan before the whole people, and admit
that Morgan's word is superior to the
law in the view of the present admins
tration.
Mr.. Morgan is a trife too arrogant
in fi%ourishing his boss's whip. Even a
Mckinley or a Gage may turn. But we
shall see.

A NEW YORK POSE.

A ~posthumous work by the late John
d. Townsend, who was a prominent
New York lawyer, is about to be pub
lished under the title of New York in
Bondage" and threatens to create a de-
cided sensation in the metropolitan
world of politics, as it strikes heavy
blows at citizens of eminence in public
and private life.
Primarily it is an attack on bossisn
and the evils wrought by machine pol
iticians. 1t was written in the interest
. decer. municipal government.
Net long before he died Mr.. Town
send saw several New York publishers.
They refused to print the book because
CT Iae Ireehanded smashes the writer
delivered in certain quarters. They
suggested notifications and omissions
which Mr.. Townsend refused to con-
slider. He declared that he would not
alter a single comma and rather than
make changes he would allow the book
to go unpublished. Since his death a
number of wealthy citizens and re-
formers have subscribed to a fund to
publish the book and they will use it
as a campaign document in the coming
battle against Tammany.
But Tammany isn't the only thing
ATTACKED in this interesting work. 1t
is decidedly non-partisan and impartial
in its exposition of the frauds and
shams which came under the authors
personal observation during his lengthy
career.
Chauncey M. Depew. now United
States Senator, is given a rough deal
by Mr.. Townsend. 1t appears that
when Slippery Dick" Connolly was
Comptroller under Tweed and all kinds
of ruinous bills against the city were
being paid by him, a Board of Audit
was formed in 1867 of which Mr.. De-
pew was chairman. The Board was to
decide on what was due on all claims.
This was the period when the Tweed
ring was adding 40, so, 60 and higher
per cents for division among them
selves. There was no appeal from the
majority of the Board, and the total of
their findings was to be raised by taxa
ton.
For these services each member of
the Board was to receive $50 per day
for each day of actual service" and
they were empowered to employ a clerk
at S. a day. In chapter SOC of the law,
the Board was directed to adjust
claims against the county of New York
while chapter $50 referred to claims
against the city.
In his book Mr.. Townsend said:
The first bill that was sent to the Su-
pervisors. by this Board of Audit was dated
June %. 1867, about two months after the
Dill had become a law. 1t was signed by
Ghauncey N: Depew as President of the
Board; by Richard B. Connolly as Comp
troller; Il. w. Bonney and Thomas Gilyan.
Clerk. 1t read as follows:
For salaries and expenses...........S29 , 800
Advertising S,65S
Total .s3s. DIS
Mayor Hoffman refused to give the
bill his approval and an investigation
showed that the Board had charged just
double the sum allowed by law for
their services, claiming that they We're
justified in rendering the same bill to
the city and to the county because the
bills audited were part for the city and
MORT f0e fkA n,1rfv CtREon ~ - -
the eNcrDitant charge was not paid.
The book is an idol-smasher from
away back and gilded idols in high
places are laid low.
