a seeming of poverty on the borders Of
their country to the end that nothing
might be seen or heard to arouse the
cupidity OF England or Russia. They
were held as abjectly poor and priest
ridden until certain adventurous per-
sons brought forth news OF the treas
ures of Lhassa, the seal of the dalai
lama, and the capacity OF the country
to produce valuables in timber and
other sources of wealth. Thibet is as
surely doomed as though it had already
been annexed.
1t is an old commentary on the prog

THE ARsoRPrloNeoE 1HlRE1

An English mission is held up at the
border Of Thibet by the fanatical op-
position of the natives who are under
some apprehension as to the object of
the movement. The Thibetans are dis
posed to the belief that when the Eng
lishman goes on a mission of peace to a
country that is not strong enough to
defend itself it is the part Of discre-
ton for the natives to hide their money,
The mere fact that the Thibetans have
asked the English to explain the pur-
pose or their mission has caused the
British press to break out in such man
ner as to make it clear that the subiu-
cation Of Thibet is desired by peaceful
means If possible-which merely en-
tails the corruption of the native rulers
or by force if necessary. An armed
escort that rises to the dignity of an
army in numbers has been ordered to
the support Of the mission.
Thibet is the last of the hidden coun-
tries Of the East to come under the
protection" of the nations Of the occi-
dent. For centuries the Iamas have
held up religious barrier to the prog
ress of the invader. They have kept up

CAKEWALKS MAY BREAK
UP COLORED CHURCH
Pastor Declares That the Rag-Tinne
Dance Is Spelling the Race.

READING, Pa, Dec. 20.-Rev. Moses
E. Braxton, pastor of the Shiloh Bap-
tist church, c0lored, Of this city, takes
an advanced ground on the subject Of
ewalking He is bitterly opposed
to it, and at recent service here read
the names of eleven members Of his
congregation whom he dropped for
various reasons, the chief one being
for participating in cakewalks.
Among those dropped were several
gregation who appeared at a recent
deacon Of the church was expelled for
conduct unbecoming an officer, al
though he did not take part in the con-
tests.
In discussing his anti -cakewalk cru
sade, Pastor Braxton said today:
Il shall allow no member of my
church to participate in any cakewalk.
If they fail to heed my warning they
will be expelled Immediately. If the
negroes want to get along in this world
and become prosperous they must give
up sport Of this kind. They should
also remain away from dances. Such
affairs are not at all eIevating and
have a tendency to ruin many young
persons.
'4The negroes are becoming more In
telligent and prosperous every day and
should not stoop to such low thing as
cakewalking. 1t is disgraceful."
The majority Of Pastor Braxton's
members were in favor Of dropping the
eleven members. and the church board
voted to suspend them.

A NICE LOT.

The Republican who reads carefully
the report of Messrs. Conrad and Bon
aparte on the TulIoch charges will not
be especially proud of his party. With
out going through. all the details, we
may state the conclusions reached by
these astute and impartial investi-
gators as a summary of the conse-
quences Of long period Of uninter-
rupted Republican supremacy.
The report finds that "dishonorable
and gravely discreditable abuses dur
ing the years 1898, 1899 and 1900 exist
ed in the Washington postoffice and in
the Office of the first assistant post
master general" 1t finds that the pub
lie officials criminally unfaithfuI were
let alone until they could escape
through the statute of limitations. 1t
says that the evidence suggests the
continuance Of these abuses at the
present time. 1t names Perry S. Heath.
at present secretary of the Republican
national committee. and George w.
Beavers as the offenders in chief. It
censures other former officers of the
department, beginning with Charles
Emory Smith and ending with Henry
A. Castle. as sharing In the RESPONSE
bAity for the deplorable state OF af-
fairs revealed. It finds that men have
been employed as '1aborers" to do
classified work, in order to evade the
civil service requirements; that pay
ments have been made on the outside
to persons not rendering any service:
that faithful officials have been assign
ed to work of a lower grade as a pun
ishment and that the entire service fs
honeycombed with rascality and inius-
tice.
The recommendations of the investi-
gators are that thorough inquiry be or
dered into the Washington postoff1ce.
the New York postoffice and the ad-
ministration OF the Office Of first as
sistant postmaster general. We trust
that congress will not be loath to adopt
this suggestion and to extend the scope
Of the work. The face of the Repub-
lican majority will of course be set
against 1t. They have had too much
investigation to suit them already.
Even without unearthing any more Of
this criminal and corrupt history,
however, the record UP to date, as it is
made up by fearless men whose work
has been done against the bitter protest
and opposition of the politicians who are
actually handling the Republican party
today, constitutes a disgusting story,
This is the very essence of Republican
rule as the Republican party has come
to exist today. What do the people
think of 1t, and what is the verdict
they are going to pass upon itY

IN THE SWEET BYE AND BYE.


The views expressed by Carroll D.
Wright recently before the Society OF
Ethical Culture are likely to be taken
too literally or too seriously. 1t has
always been the stumbling block Of
economfc reform that thinkers have
imagined to themselves the conditions
which would prevail in an economic
Eutopia, when all men have become
perfectly wise, and just, and honest,
and mercifuI in their dealings, and then
their followers and disciples, who pos
sessed none OF these qualities, insist
upon. applying those rules to a present
generation and an economic system
adjusted to human nature as it is.
Mr.. Wright says that the wage sys-
tenn will pass away and there will
come time when profit sharing and
cooperation will rule. Perhaps that
is true; but we shall work into 1t not
through the battling of labor and eapi-
tai, not by legal enactments, not even
by impassioned arguments, but by the
slow improvement of human nature
and the elevation of human character
until a level is reached where all men.
find their highest interest and satisfac-
tion In insisting that Justice be done
to all others.
Mr.. Wright expressed approval Of q
plan 'to insure labor against incapacity
resulting from accident. Illness or ad-
vancing age" Here we find curious
mixture of the practical man and the
dreamer that we have referred to.
Man has become what he is and So
ciety has made such Improvement as
1t can boast through infinite human
the necessity for that struggle, and the
race drops backward. We have in
creased in a sentimental tenderness
until the fibers of the Judgment have
become softened and lax. We live in
world such as we make it, and we can
no more adapt human nature as It is
to human nature under ideal conditions
than We can maintain life, with lungs
constructed as ours are, in q vacuum
If Mr.. Wright should set forth clear
ly his view that time would come
when the development Of intelligence.
and integrity, and industry, and thrift,
and honor, and humane sentiment
among men would be such that every
community would necessarily organize
itself upon basis of complete protec-
ton for every member against the Ills
Of life, and when manhood was such
that the knowledge of this protection
would not weaken it's effort to create
by labor or make it a prey to slothful
ease, he would announce a proposition
to which most of us, at least all who
are optimists, could give adhesion.
The danger Of 1t, we repeat, for that Is
what we desire to emphasize-nay.
rather the certainty of it's that Mr.
Wright will be taken to mean, by the
demagogue on the one hand and the
idle prof1igate on the other, who holds
that f"the world owes him a. living"
that such a system as he describes
might and could and ought to be put
into effect today. 1t is out Of this con-
fusion of ideas that the whole social
istic scheme, and nine-tenths Of all our
economic follies and mistakes arise.

POLICEMEN RISK LIFE
TO SAVE POLL PARROT
Officers Hear Woman's Walls and Be-
lieVe Child Is in Burning Building.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20. - While sixty
families in the O'Malley fats, 1925 to
1853 Indiana avenue, gathered in the
street outside the building, after an
alarm Of fire yesterday, two policemen
fought their way through flame and
smoke in a futile effort to save the life
Of a parrot. When the men emerged
from the building with the cage in
which the birds body lay, Mrss. Louis
Benjamin, who owned the parrot,
screamed and tainted away
In twenty minutes the fire was ex-
t1nguished. In the meantime Mrs. Ben
jamin had revived, but was still
mourning the loss Of her pet. She re-
fused to be comforted and was taken,
distracted with grief, into her smoke
filled home as the f1remen and police
men left.
The fire. coming a few hours after
that which destroyed the Victoria
apartment building, found the occu-
pants of the O'Malley building in q
state of nervous apprehension. Three
minutes after Policeman OConneH dis
covered flames issuing from the back
of the Benjamin fat, the long building
was practically deserted, it's 200 ten
ants shiverfng In the street and strug-
Cling to don their hastily snatched
clothing.
OConnell, who had run to awaken
the families in the building, returned
to the Benjamin fiat, 3739 Indiana av-
enue, and was joined by Policeman
Ehrhart.
"Oh, save Polly FOR me-" begged Mrs.
Benjamin. She's in the parlor. Please
save Polly"
Fhe policeman, thinking/Mrs. BenJa-
min meant a child, forced their way
across the burning porch and into the
kitchen, where the fire was hottest, and
finally got through to the front rooms.
When they entered the parlor they
found Polly struggling against the bars
of her cage, but by the time they had
groped their way to the street the bird
was dead

The panz concsrt.

The most brilliant programme of its
series so far was played by Danz's
Symphony orchestra yesterday after
noon in Mozart hall. In arranging
these programmes Mr.. Danz has avoid
ed alike both the Sylla of the trivial
and the Charybdis Of the severe. The
music that the best popular taste has
set the stamp Of it's approval upon
finds place upon his programmes,
and with these compositions are in
varfably interspersed others of the
modern that his audiences are not ia
miliar with. but which they invariably
find most worthiIy attractive.
The programme. began yesterday with
the aIIuring 'Sen1iramede' overture
one of the most consistent things Ros-
sini ever wrote, perhaps, for, from be-
ginning to end, it is distinctly Oriental
in tone. The overture gave the orches-
ira splendid opportunity to show the
strength of its component parts, for the
orchestration is broken throughout. The
strings beautifully voiced the exquisite
music that is given them to play. The
orchestra has a remarkably fine string
choir, but so admirably balanced is
the organization that 1t is only when
they are heard alone that one is par
ticularly impressed with this. The
yaIse, Rose Mousse" by Bose, which
they played yesterday, was a delicate
demonstration in fine tone work.
The first movement Of Raf's SYM
phOny, "Im Walde," cOntrasted admir-
ably with the seductive overture which
preceded it, and with the two dances
from the Rubinstein ballet suite which
followed. The myriad voices Of the
forest are heard in this movement, and
besides these there is the human ele-

sThe chaperonsg At the GRAND.

A creditabIe presentation of "The
ChaperonS,' the musical comedy, which
is familiar to local theatergoers, by
reason of two prior visits,was witnessed
at the Grand last night by an audience
that crowded that playhouse.
Several changes have taken place in
the company during the past two
years. 1t can truthfulIy be said that
the performance, as whole, surpassed
that given in this city last season
The present cast includes John G.
Sparks, who is infinitely funnier in the
role of Algernon O'Shaunnessy than

contributes an amusing impersonation
of Armanthe Dedincourt, the chap
eron in chief, and Mabel Hite sue

Phrosia, the strenuous female detec-

the athletic Eva Tanquay in this char
acter is no easy task, and Miss Hite Is
to be congratulated upon her achieve
ment. Her MY Sambo" song and
dance, accompanied by the female
chorus, was repeatedly encored. Miss
Hite worked hard and her reward at
the hands of the spectators was well
merited.

COAL COMPANIES STOP
WORK TO BOOST PRICES
Demand for Coal Is Brisk, but oper-
ators Are Avoiding overproduction.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Dec. 2O.-The
Lehigh Valley Coal company and the
Lehigh and Wifkesbarre Coal company
announce a suspension Of work from
Dec. "a to Jan. 4, and it is likely that
this move will be followed by other
companies. Those familiar here with
the coal trade say there is a brisk de-
mand for coal at present, and restric-
ton is more tofkeep up prices for the
winter than because of any overpro-
duction. The prospects for a good
winters work are bright, as there is a
brisk demand for coal at all the dis

greatest need and that it should be
forthcoming. Yet no public action is
taken. The Commercial club and the
Chamber Of Commerce should take up
this matter and appropriate committees
should handle 1t. A MACS meeting
should be called to pass resolutions and
to appoint a committee representative
of the community at large. These diff
ferent committees should wait upon
the city council and express the opIn-
ion and demands of our people that.
whatever else may be done or left un
done, it should insist upon the building
of a genuine cross town line.
Unless this is done, we say plainly
that there is great danger that the
street railway company, through per-
suasion. through delay, through CO.
ercion and through the various kinds
of pressure that it knows so we'll how
to exert, will ultimately carry it's point,
build the Smelling line for its own
profit and leave st. Paul indefinitely
without cross town service. With all
the agencies of public opinion ready
to support and push their cause, we
confess that our people will deserve
such shabby treatment and such per-
manent inconvenience if they have not
the energy. the public spirit and the
courage to act now when the time for
action is here and their practical duty
is clearly outlined.

1t cannot be sclaimed that Cuba has
certain claims on the island. 1t was
considered part of Cuba under Span
ish rule and lies very near to that re-
public. On the other hand, it is clear
ly one of the islands ceded to the
United States by the treaty of Paris,
and 1t was not considered a part of
Cuba during the American military oc-
cupat1on. On the whole, there appear
to be many and weighty reasons why
1t should remain the property of this
