MINISTER WUI IN CHICAGO.

The smooth Wu Ting Fang is in Chi cago and, as usual, he is making him self interesting. The first question he
 asked when he reached Chicago was a
 glass through which light was strug-
 gling into the railroad station he in
 quired, Why don't you wash the win
 dows?" Nobody could tell, and the
 Minister walked across the platform,
 through the waiting room and into the street, where he entered an automobile. The room and the sidewalk were dirty from the effect of several hundred su- burban passengers who had arrived ear Her, and the visitor noticed this. q see soap advertised everywhere, but you don't seem to use it." he murmured in a gentle voice. Having been thus i'm pressed by his first sight of Chicago civilization it is not surprising that when he came to speak before the fac ulty of the University of Chicago and big audience in the Stakeholder theatre he felt inclined to say good word for Chinese civilization. He didn't feel at all certain that the old oriental civiliza- tion would have to give way to the new occidental civilization and he gave this bit of advice: If the people of the West will study the civilization of Chi na instead of trying to pull it down they will save themselves a great deal of trouble They will find that the proper course to be pursued in putting China on the road to prosperity and happi- ness is, not to shake the foundation of her social and political fabric, but to allow her to incorporate such elements of western civilization as she can as- 
 Mr. Wu will be taken to see the drain age canal to-day. When he sees that perhaps he will feel more impressed by Chicago civilization than he has been so far.

real estate to market values, which the existing law directs, but has not been done. If the single tax men succeeded I in placing all taxation on real estate, would it not amount virtually to con- f1scation of real eState-at any rate, to its depreciation to a disastrous degree?
 MT. Trueman intimates in his Regis ter communication that Colonel Osborn pays no taxes, but I should be unwilling to believe that this fact accounts for his single tax enthusiasm However | unselfish the single tax men may be, see no reason why anybody who owns a house, or even lot to build house on, should follow the opposition which is led by men who favor an unjust and wrongful attack upon their property rights
 Replying to my neighbor Wallace, would say that the Supreme court de- l cisons which l quoted have been ap- proved by lawyers who had not only able bodies," but able brains, and as long as it is good law l do not think my neighbor Wallace objects to listen ing to it, even from layman. MT. Wallace seems to argue that the dSoeSSuIS tdIl De lIuStcu to oSpCeo u,-f curately without the aid of standards fixed under the Chamber of Commerce bill, but in the same paragraph argues that the assessors could not be trusted to make sensible use of such standards when they were fixed by the ultimate authority, namely, ,-the market value itself.
 MT. Wallace says that the assessors are "the agents of society" Then he says Why should not member or the community, and, as such, repre- sentative of society, be permitted to go to the authorities and say, Property B. is under assessed. I will give $10,- GOO for it. D I answer in his own words, Assessors are the agents of so- ciety," and we leave that end of 1t to them.
 Nevertheless, if MT. Wallace will de- | vise a bill to correct that end of the | difficulty as logically, certainly and simply as our bill will correct the over assessments, let him submit 1t.

The congress of the United States has
 behaved so well during the last few
 years that there has been little reason | to complain of its lack of good man.
 ner in debate. But there has been con- siderable trouble in some of the legisla- : ! tive bodies of the old world. What can
 be done. and is done, is shown in the
 conduct of members of the Austrian Reichsrath. In addressing the house the other day, member of the Social Democratic party, Herr Seitz, himself school-teacher, observed that the ob- Ject of the authorities was to compel the school-teachers to enter the service
 of the Clericals and to direct public
 education in accordance with their
 views. He was interrupted by Herr
 Strobach, the -burgomaster of
 Vienna, who exclaimed, You are will
 fully lying. You are no teacher; you
 are a vagabond." To this one of the
 Social Democrats retorted, You your
 selves are vagabonds." A Pan-Ger-
 man deputy called out, "Yes with the
 morals of St. Liguori, you swine" A Social Democrat added, "It is Clerical
 dunghill." In the further course of the proceedings Herr Seitz, addressing Herr Strobach, said, Tt is a shame for Vienna to have you as vice-b -burgo- master" which was met with the re- ply, You ought to be in jail" This remark was greeted by the imitation of the barking of a dog. A day or two later one of the Radical Czech deputies. Herr Freszl, approached the presidents seat and suddenly snatched up the document before him, which he tore to pieces. A group of Pan-Germans who were standing close by fell upon Herr Freszl, one of them seizing him by the collar and dragging him away. The others, while pushing him towards the door, beat him unmercifully with their fists. Finally he was rescued, after a | fierce scrimmage, by some of his 1

Buyhouu's Ifaunts,

Ho I'm going back to where We were youngsters. Meet me there, Dear old barefoot chum, and we Will be as we used to be- Lawless rangers up and down The old creek beyond the town, Little sunburnt gods at play, Just as in that faraway. Water nymphs, all unafrad, Shall smile at us from the brink Of the old mill race and wade Towrd us as we, kneeling, drink At the spring our boyhood knew Pure and clear as morning dew, And, AIS we are rising there, Doubly dowrd to hear and see, We shall thus be made aware of eerie piping heard High above the hGppy bird In the hazel, and then we, Just across the creek, shall see (Ilah, the goaty rascalD Pan , Hoof it OCT the sloping green, Mad with his own melody. Aye, and (bess the beasty man) Stamping from the grassy soil Bruised scents of aeur-de-lis, Boncset, mint and Pennyroyal.

 l TEACH THE FILIPINOS ENGLISH.
 clearsighted and experienced officer
 of the regular army now serving on the Island of Luzon writes to high official of the war department, under date of November 4, as follows: "The estab- lishment of schools and the teaching of English are of the first importance.
 Great efforts are being made in this di-
 rection in Manila, but it Is the outside
 towns, barrios and sitios that furnish
 the insurgent soldier and many of sthe
 leaders. If the children learn to speak
 English the mothers will not look on us
 as enemies, and the Filipino woman
 possesses more influence with her son,
 husband or brother than do the women of other races. The teaching of Eng fish need not involve great expense. Two years instruction would work wonders, and In every company there are soldiers who would be glad to teach if given extra-duty pay, and many would willingly do so if excused from other duty. The Filipino takes as read fly to languages as does Russian or a Pole. To determine his qualifications in this line, I taught English in a boys school of forty pupils, and the progress made in few lessons was remarkable. The children, the men and the women -even the old ones-want to learn Eng fish,"
 In the opinion of officers of the war department, it would be true economy to make an appropriation of almost any amount from the national treasury for the purpose of teaching the English language at once to the largest possible number of F'ilipinos, both children and adults. Civil and military authorities agree that the desire for education shown by majority of the people of the Philippines is one of the most hope ful and promising features of the situa- tion, and they unite in the recommenda- tion that every possible effort be made to meet the popular want as fully and as quickly as possible. If the revenues of the islands are not adequate, the In- sular government should be aided tem- by the United States, or should be empowered to raise money for edu- cational purposes by extraordinary means. George Kennan in the Outlook.

Yes, sir, did" the terri fled teacher answered. But J did not whip him severely" That's what I'm kicking about" he rejoined. You didn't hurt him at all. Now, look here, sir, I'm one of the largest taxpayers in this school district, and my boy is en- titled to as good whipping as you give any other boy. Understand that! If you slight him again you'll hear from me in way you won't like. Good af- ternoon, sir. r."--Chicago Tribune.

A Wilmington correspondent of the Boston Transcript tells how the lash is used in Delaware. The whipping posts and the jails are beside the courthouses, and 6ne Saturday after each session the whippings usually take place. The rules governing them are quite strict; blows must be struck between the shoulders and the hips. The sheriff must crook his elbow; he cannot strike blow ct arms length; but even with these re- strictions in some cases blood follo Ns each blow. The prisoners are stripped above the waist for this punishment, sometimes when the weather is so cold that snow may be falling. These exer- .cises are public and are usually attend ed by large crowd.

The only injury he has ever sustained was sprained ankle.
