China and America.

China should think twice before deciding
to send WI Ting-fang back to this post as
her representative. Her interests here are
all the greater by reason of the new sltua-
ton in the east and they should be In the
hands of a man altogether acceptable to the
American people
In the earlier days of his sojourn in Wash
ington Mr.. WI was something OF toast
So much of a toast indeed as hardly en-
titled him to the name Of diplomat. His
English was good his manner brisk and
unconventional. his curiosity boundless. and
his industry tireless. He went everywhere,
and dipped into nearly everything He be-
came a source of entertainment. He was a
man apart In the diplomatic world. What
the representative of no other foreign power
at this capital would have thought of doing.
or been excused for doing. Mr.. WI did with
the blandest air imaginable. He made his
own rules, and this government good-na-
turedly allowed them.
He had, however begun to pail on the
public taste when his government recalled
him. He returned home chagrined at his
failure to secure the repeal Of the Chinese
exclusion law, or even Its modification and
not long afterward boycott was inaugu-
rated in portions of China against American
goods 1t was never as formidable as rep
resented, but, whatever It's proportions, 1t
was widely attributed to the influence Of
Mr.. WI. People said that the willy gentle
man was putting into practice at home
one of the secrets he had learned while
sojourning with u.s. And some people smiled
and declared that Mr.. WI was very clever
fellow.
Let that compliment stand. Mr. WI may
be very clever feilow, but IN the circum-
stances not the fellow for this billet now.
Our eastern problem grows in importance
and difficulty. and China should have at
this post, not toast nor table wit,
nor an entertaining d.ner-out and dinner
gver, but a man Of business strictly, who
knows his business and will stick to It, She
has such in her service, has Just recalled
one from here, and should send another of
his quality. Our relations with her are
pleasant and not even the risk of change
in them should be incurred by an appoint
ment which would have nothing to recon-
mend 1t Of a diplomatic character. Mr..
WI had no success here as a diplomat, but
only a novelty. and even as novelty
his vogue had passed before his recall took

A Great Penologist's Proposal.

From the New York Sun.
Personating a Greenwich pensioner used
to be punishable by death in England. 1t
was one of the 100 capital offenses. Owing
to the labors of Sir Samuel Romilly and
other weaklings capital crimes have been
reduced to four In England: Treason, MUIR
der, piracy with violence and setting fire
to a royal dockyard or arsenal. Such list
seems lamentably inadequate, criminally
clement, to our leading penologist, the At
torney General of the United States, the
Hon. Charles ]. BOnaparte. The Attorney
General could be trusted to make up a suf-
ficient list of major crimes. 1t would be
three times and out for old offenders. The
scriptural injunction Whose sheddeth
mans blood. by man shall his blood be
she'd would have to be amended, but this
Is a day of reform. The virtue and aus
terity of MIR. Bonaparte must be an abiding
comfort to the President

formers have been preaching doctrines that
have been easily interpreted by the un-
thinking into advice to go on the warpath
against society. Anarchistic centers have
thrived despite police surveillance Black
Hand societies have piled a prosperous
trade in blackmail among the Italians.
When the Pittsburg placard Is analysed
IT must appear as a silly attempt to
frighten the community. If there were any
serious desire on the part OF a group Of
anarchists to rid the Community Of some
of its wealthy citizens they would hardly
work so openly. They would have less
difficulty finding their tools in the slums
