There are forty-four stations and 90i mis- sionaries in Japan. ThirtN-hNe fnission- aries and pecuniary aid were urgently called for. Great alarm al the present condition of the negro in inc south was expressed in the report of the commit tee on colored evangelisation and by many speakers was considered the subject the most important that had come up.
 Some were inclined 10 view the future fin an optimistic light. but the cloud was pictured in dark colors. Dr. John W. Stagg, F. P Glass. l.. $.

SANITATION IN COLOMBIA.

Americans may not be able to claim for them
selves the authorship of MISUNDERSTANDING
sanitation as preventive of yellow fever and
malaria, but because Of the work of Colonel
Gorgas in Cuba and again In Panama we may
justly claim TO have been the practical intro
ducers of it into tropical America. and for that
reason its further adoption is a matter of sent-
mental as well as of practical interest to us.
One Of the latest and most important states
to apply this system is Colombia. Under a new
sanitary decree, recently issued by President
Reyes, it is ordered that all persons suffering
from yellow fever or any suspicious ailment
shall, on reaching a Colombian port be put and
kept under mosquito netting; that all vessels
from infected ports shall be fumgated so as
to destroy all mosquitoes which may he aboard
that all apparently well passengers who are
landed from a suspected ship shall be subject
TO medical inspection for six days and have
their temperature ascertained twice day, and
Immediately upon rise of temperature shall be
confined under netting and be kept there until
all symptoms Of fever have disappeared; and
that all water vessels and reservoirs shall be
so screened as to prevent the access of mos
quitOes to them for breeding.
These and other similar regulations should
prove pretty effective in safeguarding Colombia
against epidemics Of yellow fever. Their adOp-
ton is an indication of the progress Colombia
is making under President Reyes. It is also
a tribute to the success of our policy OF sani-
tatlOn in Cuba and Panama. OF course IL will
also be of material advantage to us, in helping
to safeguard our own ports and our prOtectOrate
at Panama from nvasiOns of the disease. Co
lOmbia and Ecuador have been much afflicted
with yellow fever, and outbreaks on the 18TH
mus have generally been traced to them. II
they and the other states of tropical Amer
lea shall thoroughly apply this system of sanl-
tatiOn, the result will be for the great good

EMANU-EL'S NEW RARRI.

After three years Of diigent search, the mem
bers Of the Temple Emanuel have at last found
a man TO take the place which became vacant
when the venerable Rabbi GOttheiI died, three
years ago. The selection of. DR.. Judah Leon
Magnes is worthy Of more than passing note,
not only because the congregation which has
called him is the foremost among the many
which are maintained by the 65OOOO Jews OF
New York. but because his name was not even
mentioned in connection with the place until the
quest for the right man seemed to have become
hopeless
When DR.. GOttheil died. ard distinguished men
came from St Louis Chicago, New Orleans
Pittsburg. Portland. Philadelphia Cincinnati
and other points in the United States to be
heard by the congregation, the youthful Dr.
Magnes a teacher in the Hebrew Union
College, where he had become the favorite pupII
Of the founder Of the institution. the late Dr.
Isaac NJ Wise. Neither he nor his friends
thought that the pulpit of the Temple EMANUEL
would be open to him for many years and he
accepted a call from the Temple Israel, in Brook
lyn, which charge he will resign to accept the
more important place in a few months Thus
the neighboring borough furnished what could
not be found elsewhere in the whole country.
More remarkable than this. however. is the fact
that DR.. Magness devotion to the cause of Zion
ism did not stand in the way OF his selection for
the place. and that he is better known and has
more friends among the orthodox Jews of the
East Side than among the members of his new
flock "The American Israete" speaking for
those who know him best. says:
DR.. Magnes's election rabbi OF Temple Emanu-
FL and his tremendous personal prestige among
the New York East Side Jews place upon him
the very gTavest responsibility as we'll as offer
him uneQualed opportunity for career OF use
funess such can be made unparalleled in the
United States DIR, Magnes's career win be watched
with affectionate interest by host of friends and
admirers all over the country. who join In con-
graduating him upon being selected at so early
age for the rabhinate of tine foremost congrega-
ton In America.
The men who preceded DR.. Magnes all left
enviable records for well directed labor in the
interest Of their charge and OF the community.
and the men who were instrumental in securing,
his services for the Fifth avenue congregation
predict that the young ideaIist and brilliant
orator will be a worthy successor TO Drs. Adler
and GOttheil.

sign appears at present, within the next decade
we are not unlikely TO see at least two-hfths
OF the states virtually canceiling the power TO
elect Senators vested by the Constitution in the
state legislatures.
II is a curious accident in politics that the
impetus toward this important change in our
elective system should have come from certain
Southern states in which political activities had
reached the point of stagnatOn. To give the
white voter something in which to interest him
self the primary contest was devised as a sup
plement to the perfunctOry legal election. The
experiment attracted attention at first only as
a novelty. But it's uses were soon realized as
a means OF evading a constitutional restriction
which was becoming irksOme and the spread
of the system was rapid. That it will cure
the evils complained of under the old method
is by no means certain It may indeed, aggra-
vate them as time goes on. But that it will
have its trial is a fact which the politicians
of our day must reckon with.

THE GAEKWAR OF BARODA.

Among sOvereigns and close relatives Of SOW
! ereigrf who have visited this country there
! have been some who have travelled In more
imposing state and who have created a greater
SOCIAL and popular sensation than the undemOn-
strative and cultivated gentleman who landed
at this port after the manner Of private tour
ist on Sunday last There have been those,
too. who have represented more powerful states,
the political, commercial and other connections
of which with this country have been closer
and more important than his. To the thought
ful observer of human affairs, however, we are
not certain that any of our distinguished Wis
ltOrs nave been more suggestive Of profitable
reflection or, in both personal and representa-
tive capacities. have been more worthy of cour-
teous consideration than the Maharajah Gaek-
war of BarOda
The ancient Mahratta state Of Baroda is the
second of the three Indian states which take
precedence over all others, their rulers re
ceiving salutes of 21 guns as against from
IL to 10 for all others, Hyderabad being the
hrst and MysOre the third. Baroda is insig-
nincant in size and population compared with
the other two. having almost exactly the area
OF Massachusetts and about twO-thrds the
population of that state. 1t is prOpOrtiOnately
richer than most other Indian realms how

partly, no doubt TO the character Of the coun-

MILITARY GLORY.

In the course OF a description OF the modern
system Of coast defence a writer for "The Tech
nical World Magazine" for June remarks that
most of the glory is gone from war" The big
guns employed in this kind of service are
mounted on disappearing carriages. The men
who fire them have no occasion to expose them
selves to danger. their work all being done be-
hind huge embankment. Instructions for aim
ing come by telephone from a more or less dis
tant point at which the duty of finding the
range is performed. The success of those en-
gagged in defensive operations, therefore, depends
mainly on a skilful use of mathematics So ef-
fective is the protection thus made possible it is
intimated that no Farragut or Dewey would to-
day think Of entering harbOr like New York.
II he was thoroughly informed in advance of
the odds against him he might think IT folly to
go ahead. If he was not, it is assumed, he
would soon demonstrate the hOpeIessness of such
an invasion. In the opinion of the contributor
to "The Technical World Magazine" no amount
Of bravery would avail under these circum-
stances
If the possibilities Of immunity from direct
attack have not here been Overstated. Americans
may well rejoice at the prospect opened by the
preparations now In progress for the protection
Of seabOard cities Even so, however, those I'M
prOvements will not deprive the officers and men
Of the navies Of the world OF the Glance Of

courage. The battle which put an end to the
recent struggle in the East was between ship and
Ship not between ship and shore. The glory Of
marine warfare has certainly not departed. War
vessels are as essential to-day they were a
century ago, perhaps more So and the same is
true Of the qualities which gave Nelson and
Togo undying fame.
So, too, in aggressive military operations on
land there is as great a need Of bravery as there
ever was. Changes in the equipment and arms
Of the soldier made every few years. The
adoption Of smOkelesS powder and Of magazine
rifles having vastly greater range than the old
Springfield musket for instance may lead to
notifications Of practice In the field, but no
suggestion that armies be dispensed with is
ever based on such innovations. Neither do they
preclude the necessity for stoutheartedness
Strategy, overwhelming numbers and superior
weapons will in the future as in the past win
splendid victories, but the nOblest triumphs will
be achieved only when those military resources
are reinforced by personal vaIOr.

POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATOR'S

The victory won in Tennessee last week by
Ex-Governor Robert L. Taylor over United
States Senator E. W. Carmack, coupled with
the victory won a month ago in Arkansas bv
Governor JEFF Davis over Senator James n
Berry, calls attention rather dramatically to
the changed methods by which seats in the
Senate are now filled in many states Partly
because the canvasses made by Messrs Taylor
and Davis have smacked of sensationasm and
the procedure of the circus and partly because
In each instance the less conventional and more
picturesque candidate triumphed the suggestion
mas been advanced that dignity and capacity
are likely TO be slighted as Senatorial Gualifi-
cations II popular choice is substituted erener-
ally for the indirect election method devised Inv
the trainers Of the Constitution. Two isolated
cases hardly prove a tendency however and
so Tar as the system Of choosing Senator's in
party primaries has been applied there has been
no specially marked divergence from existing
standards OF qualification. Senator's ike Till
