lege of cardinals. While the president
may not properly ask for such an ap-
pointment, undoubtedly a knowledge
of the fact that it would please him
would have some influence with the
pope The president is not Catholic
and has no interest as a churchman in
the choice Of a cardinal, but he is ac-
quainted with the archbishop's distin-
guished services to his country and his
broad sympathy with American insti-
buttons which have influenced the atti-
tude of the Catholic church in this
country, and if more cardinals are to
be appointed, would doubtless prefer
Ireland to others that
might be selected.

CHINA'S FUNDAMENTAL WEAK
NESS.

George KEENAN,, the veteran traveller,
has been touring China since the close
of the Russo-Japanse war, and he does
not seem to share in the feeling that
China is going to be dangerous as
world power in the near future.
KEENAN, gives several reasons for
China's weakness, in his Outlook ar
ticles. The lack of central administra-
ton of a monetary system, and the
chaotic condition Of the military or
ganization, are faults that are being
corrected in the present transition
movement; but another reason that
KEENAN, gives is fundamental. 1t is
moral deficiency, which he terms
patriotism that has led the men of Nip
pom to sacrifice their lives, calmly and
willingly, for the mikado is never
manifested in China. The Chinese
character seems to him absolutely sell
fish. The Chinese officials look out
for their own gain rather than for the
interests of the people or the emperor,
and squeeze the people for three or
four times as much as they remit to
the central government. The Chinese
soldier has the instinct of self-preser-
walton quite over-developed, and in
the battle of Ping-yong nearly all the
Chinse killed or wounded were shot in
the back. The average Japanese SOL
der will willingly volunteer for a SER
vice that he knows will end in DEATH
but, in Remnants opinion, few Chiense
have ever yielded to a true patriotic
impulse.
If this estimate Of the Chinese char
acter is correct, all the drill and dis
cipline of Jap and foreign officers will
be ins,vain to mold "a Chinese army
into an effective. fighting machine.

SENATOR ALGER'S CAREER.

The approaching retirement of Sen
ator Russell A. Alger serves to recall
the fact that General Alger is one OF
the men who have made a name and
fortune for themselves in this country
of opportunity. Alger is most keenly
remembered for his unfortunate con-
duct of the war department at the be-
ginning of the Spanish American war
and in connection with the Dooley let
tiers. Yet decades before Dooley was
heard of, Alger had made name as
a soldier. a business man, an execu-
tive and had come near winning the
republican nomination for president.
One of the millionaire lumbermen
of Michigan. Mr.. Alger started in life
a boy without advantages of family or
capital and fought his way to fortune.
At the beginning of the civil war he
entered as a private and rose during
the war to the rank of major general
through merit. His regiment was the
first to reach Gettysburg and rendered
efficient service during the great bat
tie. He took part in sixty battles and
skirmishes and was twice wounded
At the close of the war ne returned to
Michigan and made money. became
governor of his state and favOrite-son
candidate for president in the conven-
ton which named General Harrison.
President Mckinley made him secre-
tary of war, but no sooner did the
clouds of the Spanish imbroglio de-
scend upon the country than it was
seen that a more vigorous hand was
needed at the helm. Secretary Alger
was forced out of the cabinet by the
almost unanimous demand of the
country, Infatuated by the clogged sit
uation in the war department. Yet
General Alger did not, create any Of
these conditions. They had been grow
ing up in a period Of peace in which
the army system had been outgrown.
The negative merit of making army
reform imperatively necessary is Gen.
eral Alger's.
When he retired from the cabinet
it was supposed General Alger's politi-
cal career was at an end, but the state
of Michigan was faithful to him and
sent him back to the senate as an
effective reply to his detractOrs at
Washington.

MRS. STORER MAKES HER POINT.

A correspondent of the Boston Even
ing Transcript writes from Rome that
the recent disclosures of correspond
ence between Mrs. Storer, the wife
of the American ambassador to Aus
tria, and the president, have had the
effect which Mrs. Storer desired to
bring about, although in doing so she
incurred the displeasure of the presi-
dent and provoked the request of the
president upon her husband to offer his
resignation.
Mrs. Storer has been an ardent adj
vocate of the appointment of Arch
bishop Ireland to the Office of cardinal.
While the president has rebuked the
wife of the representative of our gov
eminent at Vienna for using the fact
of his friendship for Arch
bishop Ireland as a means of promot-
ing the archbishop's chances for favor
at the Vatican, the knowledge of the
fact that the president is so friendly
to the archbishop is not unlikely to be
followed by his elevation to the COL

Kansas City tried to regulate the
billboard nuisance by passing an Or
dinance providing that no billboard
should exceed ten feet in height, or De
set more than two feet above the
ground, or stand less than twelve 1eet
back from the edge Of the sidewalk
The object of these provisions was 10
prevent falling billiboards from killing
pedestrians in wind storms, as mas
frequently happened. The billboard
people took the ordinance to the cir
emit court and it has been declared In
valid on the ground that 1t is 'un-
reasonable and oppressive 1t is pref

wherein the ordinance is as unreason-
able and oppressive as the billboard.
