THE SITUATION IN CHINA.
The Chinese Problem From the
Standpoint Of Missionary.

Rev. J. w. Davis, ID. d.. a pro-
fcssor in the Presbyterian Theological
seminary at Columbia, has delivered
an interesting lecture on "Thc Inter-
national Situation IN China" DR..
Davis spent twenty-five years as a mis-
sionary in China, and his experience
gives weight to his opinions on the
situation there. The State made the
following report of DR.. Davis lecture:
HIS main purpose was TO show why
missionary work IN China should be
prosecuted with viyor IN the near fu-
turc. He depicted IN strong colors
the intelligent, patriotic Chinamnn,
stunS TO deepest grief and rage when
he sees his rulers driven from their
throne fleeing 20 distant inland cities,
and burial places of ancient cmpcrors
turned into a pasturing ground for the
cavalry horses Of the hated foe: the
national honor humblcd in the dust,
his country dcspiscd rs well as defeat
ed; outragcs committed upon dcicnse-
less peasants by the Russian soldiers,
and China bound to serve the world for
decades to come in paying her war in =.

but one way TO soften his heart. and
that is by missionary efforts, by hospi-
tai work which cOmmcnds Christianity
to the masses in moat effective way
by schools which will give needed in,
tclllgcncc to The people, and by the
hopes and comforts Of the gospel.
In leading up to this conclusion the
speaker showed the high character OF
the native Christians, exhibited by
their heroic faith and courage dunng
the recent bloody prosecutions in which
men, women and children met death
unllinchingly rather than give up their
religion.
DR.. Davis, while fully presenting
| the sad loss OF ljO devoted servants of
God, done to death with indescribablc
outragcs, emphasized the fact that
2,7OO others were preserved TO carry
on the appointed work Of God. Anoth-
CT point emphasized was the fact that
this commotion in the East was al.
lowed to arise now, five years after
Chna's war with Japan, rather that 20
years later.
He said the Chinese are full Of pride
and OF intensely anti-forcign spirit.
They long to annihilalc all i0rcl"ners
in China; to cxpcl them utterly. Japan
did this in lGlO, and she was shut up

Recently Miss Susan B. Anthony and her
sister Mary resolved that they would no
longer submit 10 taxation without repre-
sentation. and forthwith prepared a writ

refusal to do so. in fact-and presented it
IN person to the county treasurer at their

they were refused the right OF suffrage was
unjust and contrary to the principles that
lie at the foundation OF the government

them that he was not responsible for the
irjustiee. and reminded them that they
would be the losers. since he would be COM

she would pay the tax. but would do IL
under protest and later bring an action TO
declare the assessment unconstitutional.
Then she paid the money. and. as most
people pay their taxes under protest. the
treasurer perceived no difference between
her case and the ordinary one. but put
the cash into the drawer with the rest,
and business went on as before The great
principle yet remains to be tested.

male novelists seem to have no difficulty in
portraying women of the most attractive

LITERARY NOTES.

The reports made to the January Book
man by the book stores of the thirty-five
large cities of America show that "Alice of
Old Vincennes," by Maurice Thompson,
was the best selling book of the month.
A London reviewer. in speaking of Mrs.
Humphrey Wards Eleanor says: Mrs
Ward is of to-day, of the present century,
so young, so empty. She and her public
are, therefore. tempted to take her work
too seriously. In the kingdom of the
blind the one-eyed man is king. But it is
not fair to rank her with writer's who
could use both their eyes; it is not kind to
judge her by last-century standards-the
George Eliots and the Thackerays-those
human ones that waxed divine.

ton of the National Academy of Design.
Mr.. Bangs is a genial writer, and his Cheer
full Idiot is one of the heroes of modern
literature, but as an ideal for art his coun-
tenance leaves something to be desired.
Either Artist Fowler, who shared him, is
unusually brave or the National Academy
is lacking in fine discrimination. People
who are dense to the humor of Mr.. Bangs
ought, at least, to see the joke in hanging

The New York Suns review of Mr. Will
liam Dudley Foulkes Maya" has this
personal note: 'Mr. Foulke came of New
York Quaker stock and was graduated at
Columbia College in 1869 at the head of
his class. He studied law at the same in
stitution and practiced ibis profession here
with exceptional success for SO young a
man. until his marriage in Indiana led him
to remove TO Richmond. in that State,
where for a time he occupied a judicial
position. His novel, though romantic in
spirit. is based upon his own observations

colonial stock. From her father she in
herits some Scotch blood, one of his an
cestors being a Scotch Calvinist minister
of the sternest type. Perhaps this prena-
tai influence accounts for the large part
of the struggles of the soul play in Mrs
Craigie's books, and for her fondness for
pointing a moral Even the lightest per-
sihage of her stage creations contains a
seriousness and an insight into life which
only come to those who brush the veil of
conventionality aside and gaze with seeing
eyes at the grim skeleton of life as it is

NEW JERSEY JUSTICE.

Whatever may be said of the laws of
New Jersey regarding the organization of
corporations or any other Shortcomings OF
that commonwealth, the promptness and
effectiveness with which its courts deal
with criminals Is worthy of commentator
and emulation. On the night of Oct Is
three men of wealth and local influence In
the city of Paterson enticed a factory girl
into a saloon and made her insensible by
drugging the wine given her to drink Thus
insensible she was taken away to be made
the victim of outrage too monstrous to be
talked of. Then she was put into a car
rage again and taken to a physician to
body was then left beside the river, the
scoundrels evidently losing their self-con-
troll. The culprits were promptly arrested
and sent to jail, the committing justice re-
fusing bail In less than three months the
accused were brought into court, jury
trial began and concluded in less than
week. The reports of the trial show that
the accused were tried for the crime of
which they were accused. There was no
parading of relatives TO draw attention
away from the heinous crime for which the
accused were on trial. II does not appear
that 1t was declared that it is better that
a hundred criminals should escape than
that one innocent person should be pun
ished. The evidence in, the arguments
made. the jury took the case, and after
four hours brought in verdict which gives
each of the accused thirty years in the
penitentiary-pra life sentence.
1t will be asked why the criminals were
not given a death sentence. Simply be-
cause there is no evidence to show that
the men conspired to take the girls life.
