our shipping must be considered, for
the traffic on the lakes and rivers of
the country and along the coasts is
vastly greater in both value and vol
ume than all Of our foreign trade. on
the other hand. the internal commerce
of Great Britain and Germany is com
paratively insignificant, and the most
of their vessels are built for ocean
trade. In short, each of these coun-
tries builds the class or classes of YES
sells which it needs most, and builds
them in ratio with the prospective
profits.
But the most important point is the
increase shown. If we can build ninety
thousand tons of steel steamers without
subsidies, it is perfectly clear that we
can build more, and that we will when
ever it becomes advantageous for us to
do SO. At present it is more profitable
for us to produce things than it is to
engage in the business of carrying them
across the seas. When conditions be-
come more nearly equalized, and we
have more capital that cannot find sat
isfactory enjoyment on land, no doubt
we shall build more ocean steamships.
1t will all come in its own good time
and without the aid of bounties. In
fact. it is coming even now.

American shipbuiIding.

The preliminary report of the Com
missioner of Navigation for the year
ended June 30 shows that our ship
building industry is in a highly -four
fishing condition. OF steam and sailing
craft the total number of vessels built
was one thousand one hundred and
seventy three, of four hundred and one
thousand gross tons This is an increase
of cne hundred and fifteen vessels, and
of nearly ninety-six thousand tons, over
the previous year To this is to be
added a large tonnage of unrigged YES
sels TO be used as tows. The grand
total of the tonnage constructed is
nearly four hundred and ninety thou
sand. This has been exceeded but
twice in our histOry-in 1854 and in 1855.
But in those earlier years the vessels
were nearly all sailing craft and their
effective capacity for carrying pur-
poses was much less than that Of the
vessels built last year.
Many of the vessels are small, having
been built for the coasting trade, river.
and lake navigation. But aside from
the sailing craft, there were constructed
steel steamers intended for ocean traffic
representing nearly ninety thousand
tons. This seems small when compar-
ed with Great Britain's total Of six hun
dred and sixty-four steel steamers OF
nearly a million and a half tons. and 1t
does not appear large by comparison
with Germany's sixty-three vessels OF
the same type and of two hundred and
thirteen thousand tons. Some stress is
laid upon this difference and no doubt
II will be urged as an argument in
favor of shipping subsidies. An argu-
ment upon that basis. however, is es-
sentially unfair and illogical.
The condition of our shipping indus
try is not to be determined solely from
our steam tonnage engaged In foreign
trade, but the grand aggregate of all

A Shanghai Sensation.

London newspapers yesterday had
news" from Shanghai, where most
Chinese canards are manufactured, that
Ii Hung Chang was alarmingly ILL., The
report may or may not be true, but
there would be nothing to occasion sur
prise We're his death announced at any
time. Earl Ii is an old man-just how
old we do not recall-but he was a gen.
eral in the days of the Tai Ping rebel
lion in 1863, and made himself infamous
by his treachery in numbering the five
rebel Wangs Cor Kings) who had been
captured by General Gordon after
promising that officer to spare their
lives.
Lis death might have political con-
sequences of some sort. He is one of
the ablest diplomats in the world. but
he is utterly untrustworthy as far as
the Powers in general are concerned.
As he has been the subsidized and able
tool of Russia for the past fifteen years.
probab bly, the Government of that coun-
try has been able to make him keep
faith. So Russian interests might suf-
fer temporarily were he to join his an
cestors. But we do not consider Ii as
of particular value to any other civil
ized State of the many that have been
preoccupied in China. The statesman
like influence which his high intelli-
geuce, training, and experience would
enable him to WELD in international
affairs, he cannot, because he is not to
be and is not trusted.

Setting n Good ExamoIe.

a significant incident took place at
charity dinner in London not long
ago. A grande dame, phiianthropically
inclined, opened her house for the en-
tertainment of a number Of children
from the London slums. In the course
of the evening she opened a conversa-
tion with small girl among her guests,
and the following dialogue ensued:
Docs your husband drinkf'
why. no."
"Iiow much coal do you burn? What is your
husbands wages7 Has he any bad habts?'
My child, why do you ask such strange ques-
tionsi
"well, mother told me to behave like lady,
and when ladies call at our house they ask
mother those questions"
AS may be imagined, the conversa-
ton was quite innocent on the one side
and quite astonished and shocked on
the other. 1t bears an ominous resem-
blance to a dialogue from Punch" in
the days of du Maurier, but it also
sounds suspiciously as if II might be
literally true. The child of the slums
is usually abnormally precocious or ex-
ceedingly stupid, and either variety of
enfant terrible could have asked those
questions. Unfortunately, also, they
are precisely the questions generally
asked by the philanthropic lady of a
certain type on charity bent.
1t is to be hoped that this particular
one took the lesson to heart and en-
deavored on her next Summing tour
to set a better example Of the behavior
of real lady" There is food for con-
siderable reflection in this little Incl
dent. The Sunday school book is re-
sponsible for great deal of rudeness
on the part of the fortunate. There is
really no earthly reason why rich VIC
man should go into the home Of a poor
one and lombard her with the list OF
impertinent questions quoted above. If
the recipient of charity wishes her ben
efactress to know all these details of
domestic life she will usually volunteer
the information, and if she does not, the
visitor has no more business TO ask for
it than she would have to make similar
demands of one in her own sphere of
life.
Some of the old-tme religious books
are superior to the new ones in one
respect; in spite of the cant that there
is in them they really set some kind
of standard Of good manners. The
Wide. Wide World which used to be
a juvenile classic in its way. has been
called all kinds of names and its hero
inc denominated a prig, but there is
one thing to be noticed in il, the ladies
and gentlemen in it are ladies and gen.
tlemen. They are ready to serve the
humblest, but not TO patronize any
body; they give religious counsel where
they think 1t is required, but force it
on nobody. One need only compare this
with the religious books current III

The Administration does not consider
Ii presently necessary to despatch war
ship to Venezuelan waters in consequence
of the outbreak of rebellion in that
country against the Castro Government
Should Andrade get back in power, the
only Americans and American interests
in Venezuela worth talking about-those
connected with the Asphalt Trust-would
be amply protected. and. for present pur-
poses, it is not desirable to send officers

things concerning the real situation and
the designs of the insurgent leaders and
their hackers in this country. The condi-
tions are satisfactory enough for the mo-
ment to let alone.

The story is revived in Europe that
'Oom Paur' Kruger expects to visit the
United States in September, and, this
time. it is added that negotiations for his
reception by President Mckinley have
been or are about to be initiated. The lat
ters advisers will have rather a difficult
question on their hands in deciding what
degree of official recognition shall be
given the old gentleman. The annexation
of the Transvaal to the British Empire
has been proclaimed In the United King
dom and South Africa, but not formally
announced to the Powers. Technically,
therefore, Mr.. Kruger could be received
as the Chief Magistrate of a Republic.
But suppose that. before his advent,
Great Britain should serve notice of the
annexation on us. Then he could not
be without grave offence to that country.
The Magoons and court chamberlains
will need to do some close thinking in
connection with this matter

For some time past the whereabouts of
Vice President Roosevelt has been mat
ter of no inconsiderable mystery, and
much wonderment has been expressed as
to how he had succeeded in dropping him
self so completely out of sight. 1t seemed
TO be case of lost, strayed, or stolen. -
But he has turned up all right. He has
been in Colorado lecturing. He seems to
love tn, Centennial State despite his po-
litical experiences out that way. 1t seems
that he has also been In Chicago hob
nobbing with Governor Yates, and the
report is that the two have made po-
litical combination intended to give Roose-
welt the solid vote Of Illinois for the
Presidential nomination in 1904. Illinois
Republicans are said to be all agog over
the event. The convention of 1904 is n
long way off yet, and whether Governor
Yates can deliver the goods is by no
means certain. Roosevelt possesses some
qualities that latter day Republicanism
admires. but Mark Hanna has them all,
and the Ohio Warwick Is not without a
political following In Illinois.
