An Independent Mood in American
Politics.

Politics.
The press of the country has perhaps
never shown itself more virile or more
Independent in it's treatment of public
questions, and the people have never
shown more active disposition to think
for themselves and vote along the line of
their convictions. Bold and outspoken
local leadership against machine politics,
or against corrupt or inefficient methods,
has never found such widespread en-
couragement as has been given to it al
most everywhere this year. The re-
markable rise of the people of Phila-
delphia against the fraud and corruption
that have so long dominated that city,
is contributing more important chapter
to American political history than an
ordinary Congressional or even Pres
idential election for it is symptomatic of
profound changes for the better. The
details are too local for outsiders to
follow. nor is it necessary that they
should be understood in other States.
The main facts, howeve r, are of the
highest Importance for people in every
part of the Union. 1t is of national
consequence that the people of Phila-
delphia have found honest leadership,
have awakened from their lethargy; and
have been able to deal series of fatal
blows at the seemingly invulnerable
ring of corrupt Republican politicians
who had for so long time ruled the
city and State for purposes Of private
plunder. Everywhere the people are
studying the relation of money to pol
itlcs and administration. Rascality is
under exposure as at no previous time
in our political annals. The revelations
of the insurance investigations in New
York City haye startled the whole coun.
try, as they have furnished object.

tails. Many Of us have long understood
the nature of the system under which
the political machines have made them
selves strong: but in order to strike
effectively against such methods, it is
necessary to bring out concrete facts.
Thus, the outlook for a revival of hon
esty and of personal independence IN
politics is brighter, in view Of the state
Of the public mind in this political
season of 1905, than 1t has been for a
great many years. The chief value
therefore, of the political season lies in
its educational effect; and this is irre-
spective of the result in any particular
electoral situa ton. - From "The Pro-
gress of the World" in the American

CHINA MAKES INNOVATION
western Learning VIII Count in EE-
animation of Applicants for
Government Positions.

'PEKING, Sept 7.--Delayed in Transmits
sion.)-An important edict has been issued
in response to the memorial Of Yuan Shi
Ki and other prominent men, abolishing ex-
aminations for the old system of degrees.
BY means of this system, established from
time immemorial, China has recruited gov
ernment officers. The idea of obtaining by
competitive examination the best educated
men is essentially good but It has been
rendered entirely futile by the knowledge
demanded. Hitherto the aspirant for hon-
ors was required to be proficient in the
writings of Confucius and other classics,
the ability to compose essays in a form
constituting really kind Of literary
jugglery. The learning so acquired
was entirely useless for practical purposes,
while the close study required to attain
the necessary knowledge prevents attention
to other modern and more useful subjects.
Moreover. the posts of honor always falling
to the lot of successful candidates thus
educated, discouraged efforts in the direc-
ton OF western learning.
In future officers will be recruited from
the ranks of those educated according to
the modern system in schools to be estab-
lished throughout the country. Examina-
tions will be held in the various schools
and not in the central towns as formerly.
This edct offers the strongest inducement
to the Chinese to acquaint themselves with
western learning and will prove a most
effective means for China's salvation.
Another edict advocates the dispatch OF
increasing numbers of students abroad,
chiefly to America and England.

STATUS QUO TO BE PRESERVED
French Authority Gives the Terms of
the New AnEIO-JaDaness
Agreement.

PARIS, Sept. 7.v-Although copies Of the
Anglo-Japanese treaty have not yet reached
the powers, its principal changes from the
former treaty are known In diplomatic and
Official quarters. One of the highest OF
these informs tire Associated Press that the
principal new features are the following:
Flrst-The provision In the old treaty
making the alliance applicable only TO the
Chinese llttoral changed so that the new
provision makes the alliance applicable to
all Asia up to the line crossing Persia from
north 10 south, indicated by the 5lst degree
of east longitude. The significance OF this
change Is In inclusion of India and also
IndO-China, where France has suspected
Japan OF having designs.
The eject OF the change tends TO preserve
the present status quo OF Franoh authority
in Indo-China and the status quo of India.
Second-The provision In the old treaty
making the alliance operative II either ally
Is attacked by the powers is changed so
that the alliance becomes effective when
either is attacked by one power
Third-The primary underlying principle
Of the treaty is defensive and the mainte-
nance OF existing conditions.
The foregoing changes can not be stated
as oficial or authoritative, but they are
given with postiveness because those In
possession have accurate advices.
