THEY MAKE THE MAN.

Somewhere in New England, VIC
are told, an association has been
formed for the purpose of exerting
an influence national in its scope, up
on manners.
We hail the step with satisfaction.
Every thoughtful person acknow-
lodges the immense Importance of
manners. The trouble is, not that
there are so many really illmannered
people, but that every class, set and
region has its own code of etiquette.
Thus, a member of one class coming
in contact with members of another
shocks them by exhibiting manners
which they deem heretical, although
these manners are perfectly orthodox
on their own ground. What we need,
most decidedly, is an arbiter of con-
tinental scope and authority, which,
rising above all mere local and class
prepossessions, will consider the
whole subject on its intrinsic merits
and decide upon set of manners
which thereafter shall be the stand
ard for the entire population.-Satur-

If the planet Mars is inhabited by
highly cultivated race of human be-
ings, as good many who are pro-
found thinkers seem to believe, it is
quite possible that those of the Mar
tians who are astronomically inclined
are out on these cloudNess nights
watching with glasses big and little
for symptoms of life and cultivation
down here. 1t is to hoped, if such is
the case, that their labors are meet
ing with more gratifying results than
any so far falling to the lot of the
earth's star-gazers, for, notwithstand-
ing the comparative nearness of the
two planets at this time, all that is
gained is more spectacular than sub
stantial. The same markings appear
on Mars that have been observed all
along, and while hese and the view
generally are decidedly interesting
and attractive, the field of human
knowledge is not added to very much
if at all. Two years hence the two
worlds will be still nearer to each
other by some 100000 miles or
more, and it is question if even such
proximity will relieve the situation to
any practical extent. However, that
is no reason for disseminating such
researches; if we can't learn all we
want to, we are not thereby justified
in failing to learn as much as we can.

INFLAMING THE JAP MIND.

The Japanese situation, we are told
is drifting to critical stage. Cabled
excerpts from Japanese editorials and
political speeches seem to prove it.
But a condition obtains in japan
which is not easily understood over

with the national hue. There are
newspapers in the larger cities which
are motived by nothing higher than
a desire for circulation and profits.

leading statesmen of the United
States are bent upon war. And they
follow it up with a doubleleaded edi-
torial, affirming their eagerness to
bleed and die for the preservation OF
the national honor.
In this country, also, are certain
gentlemen professionally engaged in
politics who joyously tail on to such
commotion as the yellow press can
stir up, and make fiery speeches about
the grand old fag-astutely hoping
thereby to capture a few officers
while the people are, so to speak,

something to that effect. There is
now but a remnant of that hardy
and persevering band left, but, so far
as known, these retain their mental
faculties in excellent condition and
to all with the possible exception of
the gentleman spoken of and some
of his cohorts, the word of those
pioneers is unimpeachable. 1t is I'M
questionably the case that each and
every one of them will bear differ
ent testimony from that of Mr.. Oar

wasn't, his denial must of necessity
count for more than their assertion.

any reluctance whatever about stand

matter what the persons prejudices,

The fact that it was Mormons who
