Ii Hung Chang's Prophecy.

A German journal has just published
a letter of the laie Ii Hung Chang, adj
dressed 10 Yung Lu, which is another
testimony 10 the great shrewdness and
political insight of the famous Chinese
statesman. 1t says: "Ghe Chinese
court officials vigorously maintain that
we dare not cede Manchuria to Russia.
This, however, is only an evidence that
they are but il-ocqUainted with present
conditions. aud wholly lacking in IN
sight.as to the future. If we should
now cede Manchurla to Russia it would
not do us The slightest BARN, as Japan
would then unquestionably take posses
sion of Korea. In that case the line
now dividing Manchuria and Korea
would constitute the line between Rus
sia aad Japan. As later the one
neighbor would undoubtedly try to
push the other farther away, grave
conflicts would arise, which would
finally culminate in war. Then
would come China's opportunity. For
if it should appear that Japan would be
The loser then we would help Russia

Pharaoh's Palace Exhumed.

A cablegram from Cairo, Egypt, says
"The Pharaoh's palace lately dug out
at Thebes, in Upper Egypt, lies on the
left bank of the Nile and was erected by
one of the rulers of the eighteenth dy-
nasty. 1t is built square aud is surround
ed bv a wall of moderate thickness
broken at irregular intervals by doors.
Inside the walls was labyrinth OF
courts, halls or pillars, rooms and Pr
yate chambers, ending in dead walls. 1t
was about $50 feet long aud 700 feet
wide. built of brick, many Of the brick
bearing the royal arms. The floor was
of clay stamped hard as stone. On the
walls the slime of the Nile was spread
like plaster, and this was painted IN the
sane manner as the graves and temples.
There were falcons with outstreiched
wings, wild geese in flight, wild ducks
and other aquatic birds, all framed in
with undulatipg lines. There were
dancing women and grazing cattle and
swamp landscapes. The reception rooms
consisted of two long balls raised on
pillars. Numerous bathing rooms were
discovered. The stones on which the
persons bathing lay were still there alter
4. 900 years, and the water pipes from
the Nile were in places intact. From the
bathing rooms short passages led to re-
clining closets. The explorers are now
hunting for kitchens and storerooms'
also for the Kings private apartments.

finished and the fine charcoal lines made
by the artist to guide his brush are still

A Yelled Threat?

The international bon mot of the week
was the Russian comparison of Secretary
Hav to an alegbraic symbol. Secretary
Hay "simply smiled when the supposed
lest was brought to his official attention,
as though willing to convey the impress
sion that the declaration was nothing
more than compliment to American
statecraft in the Manchurian entente, but
in diplomatic circles the incident was
coupled with the executive order of the
President enjoining strict neutrality
upon all government officials and en-
ploves during the Russo-,Iapanese war.
The St. Petersburg interview, descrlb-
ing Mr.. Hay as the "x'' OF thepresent
Diplomatic problem, was cabled around
the world on Thursday morning. The
Presidents order was issued the same
day. Diplomats in Washington have,
without exception, treated the interview
seriously and notified their governments
of the neutrality order of the President.
They believt.the chancelleries of EuroEe,
like themselves. were not misled by the
interview and are not certain that some
of the European governments did mol
know the substance of theSt. Petersburg
declaration before it was anonymously
made. The prevailing impression among
dinlomats is that the jest t,veiled some

I IT is a well-knewn fact that If all

the rate would be much lower, and for
those who are wiling to pay their

ably lessened. Just what proportion

amount Of such property taxed in New
Jersey last year was only s157, 718, 986,

THERE has just been completed Ia
New Jersey canvass of purely agri-
cultural county The canvass was
made from house to house BY a mer-
chart whose business took him all
over the county. He reported to Gov
ernor Murphy that he did not find a
Republican who would vote the DEM
ocratic ticket this fall, nor did he dis
cover any appreciable number Of DEM
ocrats who will vote for Roosevelt.
The party lines seem to be tightly
drawn in New jersey, with the advana
tage In favor of the president. New
Jersey gave Mckinley and Roosevelt
Sc, 899 in 1900, and in 1902, when party
lineswere normally drawn, the vote
on the congress tickets was Republic
cans, 1856; Democrats, 164,le9, a
Republican plurality Of 1887. This
was a light vote, neither party show
ing it's full strength. The Republic
cans are confident of doing much bet
ter this year.

EITHER John Sharp Williams re-
CARDS the nomination Of Henry Glass;
away Davis as a huge joke OF he inn
AGNES that he has reached the stage
of second childhood and must be
amused, for in his speech Notifying
him of his nomination as vice presi-
dent on the Democratic ticket he
played the clown and tried to be
funny, and his speech was full Of
attempts to create laugh with in
different success. He had to drag in
a joke on New Jerseys raising ban
anas, alluded to the race question
when his fellows in the South were
burning negroes at the stake, and
gassed away to the extent Of 5000
words without adding anything Of
Importance to the campaign litera-
ture. Mr.. Davis acceptance while
made in a solemn manner was ludi-
crous from the fact that it practically
contradicted his former record on a
number Of national questions and for
the misstatements II contained and
the failures to give all the facts in
regard to national expenses and other
matters he spoke Of.

THE Trenton aTimesp says that
If there existed any doubt as to
whether Congressman Charles N. Fow
Ter would be again renominated, it has
been dispelled by the announcement
Of his friends that, while he has never
been candidate for the nomination,
he has consented to again accept and
make the fight for reelection. Mr..
Fowler is one of the men who should
be kept in the public service as long as
he will consent to serve the people.
He is one Of the most influential men
in Washington, and on the banking
and currency question is the authority.
Since New Jersey has given up the
foolish custom of retiring man with.
two terms In Congress her delegation
has welded as great an influence as
that Of any other state.

A young woman went irt0a Pro

voting her life to it by a vow, who left

family of little children. she saw no

The world is full of larger or smaller
editions Of people who find nothing so
dreary, commonplace, or repugnant
as "doing the next thing" The duty
at hand Is the one to be postponed or
set aside, even though it be natural
ministry to the ones who should be
nearest and dearest. Every village
has among its residents the man who
is always ready to lend hand in To-
cal celebrations, to hoe in neighbours
garden, mend his gate or split kind
lings for his wife, but who leaves his
own garden choked with weeds, his
own gate of the hinges, his own wife
to make out as well or i'll as she may
without his assistance. The thanks
for the volunteered service abroad far
outweigh the home appreciation for
duties done OF the approval of his
own conscience for meeting his obli-
cations like man. There are often
more fiattering returns for playing
Lord and Lady Bountiful than for
paying just debts, but the man or
woman who does the one to the neg
lect of the other stands on rotten
foundation. There is glamour at
tached to seeming generosity and
works OF supererogation which seems
sometimes to dazzle the eyes Of the
very elect and blind them to the
claims of justice. Another phase Of
the same weakness leads people to
weed valorously in their neighbor's
moral garden patch, oblivious to the
cookies and brambles overgrowing
their own.
James Russell Lowell wrote to his
daughter while minister to Spain
that the misfortune of the Spaniards
was that they had had too much
glory and too littleJgood housekeep-
ing. With nations as with indivi-
duals, in both material and moral
things, some cheap tinsel OF glory is
often easier Of attainment than good
housekeeping, which is only to be Sc
cnred by patient, persistent, often
unn0ted and unpraised daily drudgery,
haloed but by nobility of motive.

So many Morristown people visit
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove every
year that it is rare that one can walk
any distance on the board walk or at
tend gathering at the auditorium
without meeting familiar faces. OF
course the authorities at Ocean Grove
are conservative and little change is
noted from year to year. But at As
bury Park there have been great inn
provements within a year, and for the
improvements there are nothing but
praises. The great events Of the sea-
son in a secular way are the lake car
nival and the baby parades The form
er which took place on Wednesday
evening was most brilliant spectacle
and was witnessed by thousands. A
number Of prominent men of the state
acted as judges and the award of prizes
was generally satisfactory, The first
prize for the finest decorated house
was awarded to Mrs. NJ. B. Smith. of
Terrace Lodge, and it is a.coincidence
that one of the designers of the decor
ations was James Bird, grandson of
the late Justice Isaac Bird of this
town.

The Mutual Life Of New York, the
Oldest of our life insurance companies
and the largest in the world, has been
the nursery of many men who have
risen to positions Of prominence in
other companies. The late Henry b.
Hyde, founder OF the Equitable was
for years an employee of The Mutual
Life, while William A. Brewer, Jr.,
President Of the Washington Life,
was for many years in the actuary's
department Of The Mutual. The
late Sheppard Romans, compiler If
the American Experience Tables,
was actuary of The Mutual Life in
the early days, and DR.. Leslie Dodd
Ward, Vice-P President of the Pru-
Dental, was The Mutual's Examiner
M Newark, long before the company
OF which he is now Vice-P President
was organized.
