Revivals in PHILADELPHIA.

The pendulum has swung back in Phil
adalephia. This time twelve months ago
that city was in AFFECT servitude to a cor
'upt government. which spared neither
age nor sex in levying tribute for graft
and blackmail. To-day the ring is
broken. the city is struggling up towards
an honest municipal government and
1900 people crowded into one armory
last Sunday evening to attend the OPEN
inS revival services held Ivy the now
celebrated DIR. Torrey and Mr.. Charles
NJ Alexander
To be sure Messrs. Torrey and Alex
ander are the best known revlvalists in
the world to-day. They are assisted by
marvellous choir of COO male and female
voices, but il takes more than a preacher
and choir to get 1900 people to come
to church at one time.
The truth is that the people of Phila-
delphai have begun to assert themselves
as men and women with consciences and
convictions of their own. 1t is a difficult
matter to preach religion to n man who
is engaged in taking graft or levying black
mail. but when such man has turned
from the error of his way he is of all
the most willing to come out strongly
for the better life. The history of nearly
every city is teh same. First, careless
,pess, then corruption. then insufferable
vice and misery. then strenuous revolt
and partial publication. which is only
too often followed by carelessness and
a return to the old conditions Phila-
delphia has certainly expressed every
phase but the last, and it is a good
presage for Philadelphia's future that the
citizens are apparently interesting them
selves SO deeply in higher things.

Chinese Awakening.

Yuan Shi kai, who, since the death OF
Ii Hung Chang, has been conceded to be
the strongest man in China. has taken
q nomentous step in discharging Profess
sor T. G. Tenney, who for some years
has been in charge of education in the
Province of Chilli This action is most
significant. because Yuan Shi Kali vice.
roy of Chilli. has led the advance for
Western methods despite the opposition
of Chna's conservatives. The viceroy's
army has been drilled by Germans and
is one of the best drilled armies in
China. Ever the schools in Chilli have
introduced system of drill that Is pre-
pairing the school boys for future mill
tary service. Under Professor Tenney
great advance was made in revolutioniz-
Ing the Anticipated and practically values
less system of education which the
Chinese have SO long followed.
When Japan finally settled with Russia,
1t was commonplace observation that
the next step OF the little yellow men

Annexation.

For nearly two weeks the hearing OF
testimony for and against apnexntion mas
been in progress before Judge Nicol, and
the people OF Richmond have again mao
their attention directed to the intoler-
able conditions which exist in this city.
The position OF The Tlnes-Dispatch is
we'll known on this point. Our original
convictions have been strengthened by
the convincing testimony which has been
given Physicians have testified that the
health of the whole community is be-
ing impaired by over-crowded condi-
tons. a member of the Board of the
Laurel Reformatory has expressed his
conviction that the morals of the youth
has been seriously contaminated by the
lack of Fairgrounds and air space. Sue
cessful manufacturers have testified that
the labor conditions of Richmond We're
seriously handicapped by the difficulty of
supplying suitable homes at reasonable
prices for the mechanics and the citizens
at large. The Mayor has testified that
the city is abundantly able to do all that
is necessary for the health, comfort aud
convenience of the territory which 1t is
proposed to annex and the city engineer
has testified as to the need of much
rof this territory for the essential exten-
sion of the city sewers. The widespread
interest in this question is natural and
Inevitable. The people of Richmond have
long since walked up to the fact that
there was no need for them to endure the
conditions under which they were suf-
fering, when redress could be had by
extending the boundaries OF the city.
1t was said by the opponents of expan-
sion that the public were not in favor
of 1t. We doubt very much whether the
supporters of that opinion would so ex-
press themselves at present, for we are
convinced that the public. If given an
opportunity to express an opinion would
BE heard in no uncertain way for wider
boundaries.
