paid So. and in case they are killed
from causes other than their own neg
ligence $50 is to be paid TO their repre-
sentatives. Each coolie is to draw a
daily ration Of two and half pounds
OF grain, rice or -four, six ounces Of
fresh or preserved meat, half an ounce
Of tea, as well as groundnut oil and
salt. Clothes. tobacco. etc, are to be
furnished at cost price. both on the
voyage and at the mines. Before sail
| ing each eoolie was given $50 to pro-
vide an outfit and to make provision
for his family, but it is not stated
whether this was bounty for going or
was an advance payment ON wages.
The pay guaranteed is S. a month for
ten hours work a day. with no work on
Sundays or on the four great Chinese
holidays. After becoming skilled In
mining it is promised that piece work
scale will be arranged that will allow
them to increase their earnings. From
these figures, and allowing SIS per head

mines would represent an expenditure
of at least $50, sum equal to ten

tty-six working days a month. ten hours

two and third cents per hour fol
their labor.
If the talk about importing Chinese
coolies to work in the cotton fields Of

ANCIENT OXFORD.

As representing Oxford on this oc-
lcassion, should Ike to say word or
two Of the feeling OF unity which may
well unite universities IN other parts
OF the EngIish-sp speaking world with
that which may be called the old gray
mother Of them all. There is popular
notion on the American continent that
Oxford is an anachronism. used up and
out OF date, and that 1t exists only for
the purpose or providing the sister uni
yersity Of Cambridge with q partner for
the boat race and the university cric-
kst match. Much OF this Is due to the
gentle iron Of Matthew Arnold, who
spoke lightly (xnowins that he would
not be misunderstood by those who
knew HIND, of Oxford as being STEPPED
in prejudice and port and who apos-
trophised the university as the home
of lost causes. impossible Royalties. and
forsaken beliefs. The current view is
surely a heavy penalty for Oxford to
pay for not giving special prominence
to those branches Of technical or pro-
fessional study which are SO greatly
praised on this continent, on the ground
not only OF their intrinsic excellence,
but also for the practical reason that
they afford speedy means Of obtain
ing a livelihood and that they contri-
butte also to develop the material re-
sources Of the country. 1t Is no reproch
to oxford to admit that her chief glory.
centers round those literary and hui
maonistic studies. Of which it may be
|said in brief. that their main value lies
in the fact that they are followed not
only for their own sake, not only as
ends in themselfs. but also because
they enter and must ever continue to
enter into all the other branches of the
ununiversity curriculum. Oxford does
not neglect science, although circum-
stances prevent Oxford from cultivate
ing all branches Of science What she
recognizes is the fact that letters are
as necessary to civilization as science,
and that science win only thrive and
exist in an intellectual atmospher
where literature also f1ourishes. For
these two grow from one root.-Prin-
eipie Peterson at University Of
Wisconsin.

PATRIOrIsM.

Safely through another Fourth! is
the thankful exclamation of many who
realize the dangers which beset them
and their property on that ever-glori-
Gus day. New Haven got through the
day pretty well. She had noise enough,
rum enough, and such other diversions
as are deemed appropriate in celebra-
ton of independence. In all the noise,
the rum and the other diversions there
was, of course, patriotism. A great
many who participated didn't say to
themselves or to anybody else that they
felt patriotic, but they did. If not
would they have been spending their
money and time in the ways in which
they did spend them? We trow not.
Nothing but patriotism would have
been an excuse for 1t.
Those of us who are not hurt, or too
tired, or something. can go to work
this morning with the proud conscious
ness that we have once more done
what we could to show our apprecia-
tion of the blessings of freedom.
Some carper might say it was a feeble
tribute, but it was certainly hearty,
and there can be no doubt that the
Goddess Of Liberty likes to be wor-
shipped with noise and stinkpots. If
she didn't she would have resented the
performance long ago.

CHINESE CHEAP LABOR.

What Chinese cheap labor is is indf-
Gated in the arrangements made with
Chinese coolies for their work in South
African mines. The contracts made
with the coolies are guaranteed by the
British authorities and are to run for
three years. The coolies are to be
transported to and from South Africa
absolutely free Of all charge, and are
to be allowed to carry with them rea-
sonable amount of baggage. They are
to be housed, fed and have medical at
tendance free, and in case Of death
from any cause their remains are to be
sent to China. If they are permanent
