The New American Chinese Treaty.

The clearest account of the revised
commercial treaty between the United
States and China which is now in pro-
the Shanghai correspondence in the
London Times. 1t appears that the
American proposal is for general fol-
lowing of the treaty with Great Brit
ain, with, however. the entire adolf
ton of the likin tax. compensation
therefor to be given by a surtax equiv
alent to the import duty. TIL liAin
taxes are imposts on goods in transit,
levied by officials at various points,
without uniformity and often for the
personal benefit, mainly. of the officials.
They are survivals of a sort of toll or
iginally imposed on a grudgingly per-
mitted commerce; they are among the
most burdensome exactions of an an
tiquated system, and have recently
been admitted to an imperial edict to
be capable of gross abuse. The pro-
posed treaty also requires China to
open to foreign trade the ports OF
Pekin, Mukden and Taku Shan, the
last-named of which is commonly uE-
derstood to come under that provision
of the supplementary Port Arthur con-
vention of 1898. which provides that
ports on neutral ground adjacent to the
leased territory are not to be opened to
the trade of other powers. For this
and other reasons there seems to be
room for considerable doubt whether
China will accept the American propo-
sition-Providence Journal.

The Bible and the Schools.

1t is announced in a news dispatch
from San Francisco that States Attor-
ney General Webb has rendered an Of
fetal opinion declaring the use of the
Bible in the public schools of California
to be unconstitutional. Not only may
teachers not use Scriptures as text
books, but even reading from them. as
is the custom frequently at the opening
exercises is barred.
Forty years ago an event like that,
happening in any part of the country.
would have created wild excitement.
Now the action of CALIFORNIA; princi-
pal law official will stir up few pro-
tests. 1t has come to be generally ac-
cepted that under the constitution OF
the United States. which guarantees
equal rights to all religions and all
shades of belief, the Bible should nor
be read in schools. This conclusion is
as nearly universal among the mosr
devout Christians as among their free

Law by Injunction,

| Some of the labor unions have angrily
| complained that law by Injunction.
| has persistently Disseminated against
them and in favor of capital. On rather
large scale at st. Paul. the decision
of the United States circuit court in
| the Northern Securities merger case
| confutes this contention of the labor
unions. and it is again confuted on Il
smaller scale but not less emphaticalIy
| or effectually by the ruling of the cir
cult court of st. Louis, which last week
| enjoined and dissolved the Association
of Master Plumbers of that city.
This organization was framed with
the object of limiting the sale of
plumbers materials solely to it's own
members. thereby giving them such a
monopoly of the trade as enabled them
to exact arbitrary prices.
None but a member of the associr-
ton was permitted to receive supplies
and consequently the non-member was
placed at signal disadvantage, as he
was compelled to go to Chicago for his
materials, and pay heavy transporta-
ton charges upon them. One of the in
dependent plumbers prayed that the
court issue an injunction against the
association for its refusal to sell him
supplies necessary to his business.
The decision of the court was sweep
ing enough to satisfy the most radical
of the haters of law by injunction" az
it was to the effect that the agreement
of the association to restrict the sale
of supplies to it's own members was lin
restraint of trade" The court not only
issued an injunction to prevent the
| carrying out of the agreement but dis
solved the organization itself.
If this is not good law it should be
made so all over the land, as in almost
every industrial center of the country
there are trusts, combines, pools or
"gentlemen's agreements" which are
operated in restraint of trade more Or
less after the manner of the ST. Louis
Master Plumbers association. Thesa
monopolistic combinations use all
| means to prevent that wholesome, un-
| restricted competition which is the life
of trade and the only security the pub
lie have against the extortionafe
| prices; chief among the means employ
| ed by them is that of refusing to
| furnish supplies to independent trade
rivals. They are monopolies of the
most dangerous and predatory kind.
| and the courts should be strong and
courageous enough to crush them out
| wherever they eXist.-Philadelphia

CURRENT COMMENT
Grover Cleveland on the Negro.

More than ordinary public interest
Will attach to the plea of former Pres
ident Grover Cleveland for the educa-
ton of the negro, not only because of
| the zeal with which the south is now
pressing its view of the race problem
upon the north but because of the
sturdy, practical and unsentimental
habit of thought which the ex-presi-
dent brings to bear upon questions of
this kind.
The greatest admirer of the express
| ident would not accuse him of being Il
sentimentaliSt, even though it may be
noted that an escape from the aSperi-
ties of politics has mellowed and sweet
ened his nature. When it comes to
the negro question Mr. Cleveland be-
lieves that the days of Uncle Toms
Cabin are past" that the question
must be solved on the basis of hia
color and his racial instincts, which
| neither the emancipation proclamation
| nor the elective franchise has changed.
Three propositions that must appeai
| strongly to the intelligent fair-mindeo
people of the north, well as of th.
south. are made prominent in Mr..
Cleveland's New York address: %
That the southern white people, sur
rounded by about nine-tenths. or near
| ly eight millions, of the entire negro
population, must be permitted to solve
| the negro problem. and in their efforts
to solve it are entitled to the sympa-
| thetic cooperation of the north; (2)
that the solution of the race question
| that will rebound to the highest good
of the country and the greatest benefit
| to the negro is along the lines of indus
| trial education, such as is given at the
| Tuskegee Institute, of which Booker T.
| Washington is the head, an education
| that trains the hand as we'll as the
mind, that dignifies manual labor and
| tends to make the negro a producer; (3)
| that the south will not tolerate such
| thing as the social equality of the
| negro, that it makes no false pretense
about it, and that this attitude is not
| based upon the hatred of the negro
but upon the deeper instinct of race
| preservation.
The declaration that it is in the
south that the negro Is given a mans
| chance in the commercial world, how

English immigration.

AS would naturally be supposed, en-
igration from England to the United
States exceeds that of from England to
Canada; however. the generous terms
upon which land is granted to settlers
in Canada and the growing reputation
of the land for agricultural purposes,
has attracted a growing flood of new
citizens for the latter country. Accord
ing to figures obtained from the bureau
of statistics at Ellis Island, the emigra-
ton from England to the United States
for the quarter ending March 31st last,
increased 1,447 compared with the cor
responding months of last year, while
Englishmen that arrived in Canada
during the three months numbered
1864, or a gain of 1870. The 1864 i'm
migrants to the United States shows
an increase of per cent, while the
gain for Canada is over 100 per cent,
compared with the figures of only one
year ago.
The increase in the volume of immi-
grafton to Canada from England ana
other ports of Europe is the direct re-
suit of the advertising the country has
| been doing abroad. and the advertising
afforded the country by the part its
soldiers played in the Transvaal war
According to the opinion of officers the
various steamship companies which
transport the largest numbers of immi-
grants, the class which has settled In
| Canada during the past few years is
| composed largely of the most desirable
foreign element.

than natural laws, and hence disturb
ances, misunderstanding and bitter
ness arise
"On the whole, however, the remun-
Grafton to capital constantly is de-
creasing and that to labor constantly
increasing This is the result, SO far
as capital is concerned of the accumu-
lation of wealth which may be turned
into active and productive capacity
and, SO far as wages are concerned, to
the increased standard of living result
ing from education and culture which
follows it.
The growth of the sentiment under
lying the principles of justice outlined
belongs more thoroughly to the presen,
than to any preceding age and will
overcome the labor difficulties, which
harass the public. injure the workmen
and damage capital. With the ethical
spirit finding Judgment. the antagon
isms and the animosities will be soft
ened, if not removed. The workingman
has risen from ignorance to intellI-
gence, and as he reached intelligence
he has become more or less q greater
complication in Industrial affairs. In
his ignoranc he did not strike; in his
intelligence he does strike. The next
step in the development of his intelll-
gence will be that he will not strike;
that he will be able to accommodate
himself to conditions because he will
know them and understand them BET
ter. He will be able to recognize his
rights in relation to the rights of
others and to know fully what is nee
essary for successful production, where
now he understands only a part. This
means of course, the organization. the
continuance, the perfection of labor
unions.
Some of the methods of the labor
union are to be condemned. So are
some of the methods of the capitalistic
organiza ton to be condemned, but be-
cause they cannot go on together does
not mean that either or both should be
destroyed. They must get on together.
That is the necessity of the time, AMI
it is to the intelligence OF the leaders
of both interests that society at large
looks for the development of industry
on basis of social progress. The great
question for employers and employees
is, will they, in the conduct of their
mutual affairs, excite the militant
spirit, or invoke that peaceful consid-
Grafton which leads to the adoption OF
the highest elements of business in

: ever much the south may have sinned
against his political rights, is also
worthy of the thoughtful consideration
of those northerners who are disposed
to question the sincerity and fairness
of the south in dealing with the negro.
While denying his social and political
equality, the south is giving the negro
every opportunity to advance in agri-
culture, in the skilled trades and in
commerce-an opportunity that is prac-
tically denied him in some sections OF

LOVING CUP WITH A HISTORY.
One in England That Has Belonged
to Many Noted Statesmen
and Writers.

A loving cup with an interesting his
tory has come into the possession of
Sir William Treloar. According to the
inscriptions on the cup, says the Lon
don Chronicle, it appears to have been
a present from Edmund Burke to Sam
uel Johnson in honor of the latter's
stay at Beaconstield in 1774. 1t then
passed to Oliver Goldsmith, and on his
death was given 'to David Garrick and
members of the Turks Head club, as
its fitting holders, to be quaffed from
by each member present at cockcrow
hour appearing"
This club was a select literary CO.
terie and was founded by johnson and
Reynolds in 1772, taking its name from
an old coffee house in Gerard street.
Now known as "The Club" and Of
small but exclusive md sbership, it fa-
gors hotel in Trait ar square when
its occasional meetings are summoned.
The present prime minister is mem-

THE CENTRIFUGAL RAILWAY.
"LOOping the Loop Not Such a Mod
ern COntrivance as Is Gem
orally Supposed.

The feat of looping the loop" as it
is now called is not quite such a new
thing as many persons suppose, and
the centrifugal railway at the Crystal
palace, in which visitors have the op-
portunity of rapid transit on a car
which at one stage of its course is lit
orally upside down is by no means the
first of it's kind. La Nature, the
French scientific journal, reproduces
woodcut which appeared in the year
1916, showing how the idea was carried
out at that time in the Jardins de
Frascati at Havre, and it differs very
little from the modern appliance. The
car starts from high tower down an
inclined plane, where it gains sufficient
impetus to carry it round loop, after
which it runs up another incline to a
similar tower, where the passengers
disembark. To the best of our belief
a centrifugal railway on the same
principle was shown at place of en-
tertainment in London about the same
period. To our American cousins is due
the idea of replacing the railway by a
bicycle track, thereby adding to the
excitement, but introducing an ele-
ment of danger which did not exist
when car on guiderails was the NOV
ing object.

WRESTLING GOSSIP.

Outside of the "wrestler's knee, :"
and the caulifiower ear" the pro-
fessional Rrappler fears broken car
tilage more than anything else. Yet
he is liable to this injury whenever
he appears on the mat. George Both
ner and Tom Jenkins are pro badly
the most noted wrestlers who have
suffered from such an accident. Only
two days before he began training for
his match with Harvey Parker, Both
ner, in instructing one of his pupils,
fractured the cartilage of one of his
RIBS, and met Parker with his left
side swathed in heavy bandages. "A
wrestler takes a chance of encounter
ing such an accident" said Bothner,
"by trying for side roll. In doing
this you naturally leave part of your
body unprotected, and your rival in
trying to escape naturally makes a
great resistance. If you let him go
he will come back fiercely in his de-
sire to get on his stomach. Nine times
out of ten his elbow will land on your
ribs and with enough force to dis
locate one of the cartllages. Unless
you conceal the fact that you have
been hurt it is cinch that you will
be thrown for the pain is intense.
Billy Madden, failing to secure "a
match in the ring for Gus Rubin.
has signed articles for a wrestling
contest between the "Akron Giant"
and Tom Williamson. The pair will
meet Saturday afternoon at Syracuse.
The style is catch as -catch-can, best
two in three falls to score. Madden
says that he will agree to let all the
purse go to the winner if Rubin fails
to throw Tom Sharkey three times in
an hour at any style the latter may
name. Rubin, Madden adds, is will
ing to go on with the bout next week,
if necessary.

DECAY OF coNFUCIANIsM.
Its Sway Over the Minds of Literary
Cinnamon Not what 1t Was
Twenty Years Ago.

Careful observers in China are no.
ticing the gradual decay of Confucian-
ism. Its sway over the minds of the
Chinese literati is by no means what
it was even as recently as 20 or 80
years ago, says the North China Her
aid. 1t is true that there is apparent
ly no marked diminution in the num-
Der of ancestral halls, the existence
of which all over the land serves as an
indication of the vitality of the state
religion; yet, nevertheless, the more
the country is permeated with west
ern knowledge, the more are the minds
of the educated class becoming alien
ated from the teachings to which be-
fore unquestioning obedience was ac-
corded. :.
The reason for this state of things
it is not difficult to comprehend. 1t is
gradually dawning upon the educated
young men of China that knowledge
of the Confucian classics is no longer
what it was from a commercial point
of view. And the comprehension of
this fact is sufficient to account for
the diminishing interest that is being
taken in the acquisition of Confucian
learning. 1t must also be admitted
that, as the broader and deeper knowl-
edge introduced and inculcated by
western scholars is being assimilated,
there is an ever-increasing realization
OF how inadequate Confucianism is,
Notwithstanding it's merits, to meet
the requirements of the present day.

first fall in forty three minutes with
body hold and Referee Leo Berlow

AN OCEAN PATROL.
Pr0Ject of an English Ship Builder
to Provide "a Unique Sea
Service.

One English ship builder is fur
thering project which, il carried
through, will be the means of much
saving of life and property in mid
ocean. He calls it the International
Blue Cross Ocean Life and Salvage
service. 1t is meant to take the place
of the Red Cross in the army says
the New York Herald.
1t will consist of fleet of ten life
boats and one storeboat to patrol
the north Atlantic along the line of
travel of the great ocean steamers.
The aim is that of saving vessels
and crews in distress. They will
have a regular schedule of time,
which will be sent to all captains of
vessels, so that in case of wreck or
fire or disablement the officers will
know at what exact date and point
Blue Cross boaT may be expected,
and much may be done to save both
life and money.
The salvage is to go to the re-
spective> governments which fitted
the feet out in proportion to their
shipping tonnage. He expects the
various nations WHO have much traf-
fic on the high seas to appropriate
sums necessary to the complete out
fitting of the boats and crews. The
project seems to have met with APP
proval in high places, and ere long
we may expect the Blue, as we'll as
the Red, Cross to the rescue of hu-
man lives in danger.
