The positive assurance that Emperor
William will offer a cup to be con-
tested for in international ocean yacht
races will be received with deep in
terest by all lovers of the magnificent
sport. The Emperor strikes a popular
cord when he says it is his purpose,
in offering the cup, to encourage ocean
racing with the view to stimulating de-
signers and builders into producing a
class capable of keeping the open sea
easily and combining seaworthiness
with safety and comfort, without sacri-
ticing everything to speed; i. e., TO de-
velop a sound type of cruiser" The
Emperor says he believes that class of
yachts would appeal to those who love
the sea and who do not wish to use
their craft exclusively for racing pur-
poses, and there can be no doubt that
he is right. The 'blue ribbon of the
ocean" may continue to be the Ameri-
cas- cup, but we expect to see more
general interest manifested in the
kaiser's cup races. 1t is not unlikely
that four or five nationalities will be
represented in the first race for the
kaiser's cup. Germany will, of course,
enter boat; Great Britain will as
certainly enter one, and France and
Austria, and even Japan, may be in
duced to join in the competition.

superintendent of Schools Schaeffer,
at Wilkesbarre, uttered words of wis
dom day or two when, criticising the
trend of modern school systems, he
said: Teachers often dwell on the
subject of nature. describing wildly to
the child the whale and the oriole,
without first teaching the fundamentals
of early education. 1t is not the
knowledge of a whale or an oriole that
the people need. but the power to read
and write" 1t seems to us that the
fault in connection with the whale
and orio1e" style of teaching is not 50
much with the teachers as with leg
islatures and school boards that make
obligatory the giving of instructions in
a lot of useless stuff. In our own
schools we have studies that are not
approved of by the best educators
whale and oriole'' studies so to speak
that were forced on the teachers and
children by the Legislature to please
certain cranI6s and so-called reformers
If all of the fads, all of the whales and
orioles, We're cut out of the common
schools it would be to the great ad
vantage of all concerned.

LIVING EXPENSES.

The Hull House Woman's Club of
Chicago has been investigating by
committee the problem of incomes of
and expenditures by families. The
committee estimates that the average
income of Chicago families is $12
week. This appears to be very low in
view of the great fortunes and large
incomes enjoyed by a large number of
Chicago people; still it must be kept in
view that there are thousands of Chi
cago families who have incomes of less
than half of $12 a week the year
around. However. that point is i'm
material, since it is well known that in
every city there are numerous families
that live comfortably on incomes no
larger. What is of interest, however,
is the proportion of expenses suggested
by the Hull House clubs committee, as

The Wrong Saul.

A friend of ours who would
strain at a gnat and vet swallow
a camel has pointed out to us
that in our squib ON the "fsh
tale" last week we did not dis
play much biblical knowledge
when We said that the Journal was,
like Saul of Tarsus, a head and
shoulders above all corners . in
telling fish story. The gentle
man is a Sunday school teacher
and in his work as such is COM
PEELED to keep up with the les
sons that he teaches. He knows
the history of the Sauls better
than We do and we take off our
hat and bow to him in Difference
to his superior learning. He must
not make a mistake; but it don't
matter so much about our doing
SO. We confess to reading more
secular tnan religious matter. In
this instance we were writing up
on the most latitudinous subject
known to civilized man. It is
one on which a man may make a
lingue or even perpetrate
an unconscionable lie without in
volving his reputation for veraci-
y. Hence, we claim that in the
connection that we named him,
t does not matter which Saul we
selected for our purpose.

Trouble Ahead.

There is q dark speck on the
eastern skies that may grow in
size until it overshadows that hem
isphere and beclouds this one.
AS is known to all our readers
Russia has for some time had both
her v and hand upon the province
of Manchuria and has manifested
the intention of Selling it perma-
nently aud controlling it as sort
of advanced post for both her com,
mercial and military movements
in the orient. The great powers
of Europe are claiming what they
term spheres Of influence over des-
ignated parts Of China. Some de-
sign of Russia is obnoxious to the
desires of the present admlnlstra'
ton and it is thought that a move
ment is imminent by that power
that is inimical to our interests.
Tne situation is interesting Roose-
Welt aud he has instructed Mr..
Hay, his Secretary of State, to in
tervene objections toRussia's plans
Out of this there may arise ques.
tions that may lead to information,
al complications and possibly
eventuate in war between the two
countries.
The seizure of the Philippines
and the consequent departure from
the historic policy of the founders
Of our government is bearing its
bitter fruits. We now have an
interest in the affairs of the
"heathen Chinee'' and under the
grasping policy which we have
adopted we may find our pathway
to lead over stony places. Our er-
ratio and lreful president will have
abundant causes to assert his
views and, perhaps, enforce then
by a resort to arms. Russia is

ton is kept up by the negrophlies
in the north, not so much because
they are all fanatics on that SUBJ
ject, but because they are all re-
publicans. The sharp, shrewd re-
publicans fully understand that if
the negro vote were eliminated
from the returns in many north
ern states all those states in which
the negro now holds the balance
of power would, at once, become
democratic. They know the re-
publican party is dependent en-
tirely upon the negro vote, for its
continued e~xistense. II the states
of New York, New Jersey, Della.
ware, Maryland, West Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana, and California
should preclude the negro from the
ballot lot the republican party
would cease to exist. Without con-
troll Of the government it would
find no favor with the trust mag
mates who furnish the "sinews of
war" that keep it alive. The
negro vote is purchasable and is
always purchased by them. The
leading republicans thoroughly
understand the value Of that vote
to them and, in all their pretend.
ed love for the negro, only mean
to held and control their votes.
1t is claimed by the republicans
that the great mass Of the intelli-
gent and respectable people of
the north are in that party. There
is nothing farther from the truth.
The republican party is made up
Of the lower classes of workmen,
miners, negroes, Italians, and
others foreigners, whose modes of
life and consequent ignorance
enforce submission to the behests
of their employers. Thousands of
respectable and intelligent farmers,
| mechanics and other classes are
democrats.
The protective tariff protects
only the manufacturer who de-
ceives his employees by protesting
and lying about the benefits thai
it brings to them. The trust mag
mates control the mines and facto.
ries and have amassed the cnllos-
sal fortunes that are sedulously
guarded aud protected by the re-
publican party. The magnates
have the money. They build the
big churches and employ the big
preachers who tell big lies on
the south. They own and run the
great railroads and employ the
millions of men who operate
their machinery. They own the
newspapers and magazines that ill.,
flame the minds of their ignorant
readers by flaming stories of the
disasters hat might betall them
if they voted the democratic ticket.
They own and control the great
banks and virtually own the
national treasury. The men who
do all these things are republicans.
1t is they who dictate the plans
and the means of the race agita-
ton now inficting the people.
They are behind the republican
party. Absolutely they are cit"
And they use the poor wretches
who venture up north to keep that
party in power and thus give them
control of the huge instrument
which they WELD in the control of
Senates and Congresses, Courts
and cabinets and presidents.
They virtually own the party. 1t
is Il compact, close organization,
controlled by and for the rich
manufacturers, bankers and rail
road men and its rank aud file con.
sists of their servile employees.
