ONE PLAN FOR REVISING THE NO MORE
TARIFF,
CIGARETTES FOR
CHINA.

That Grand Old Woman Of China,
the Dowager Empress Tsi-An has
given up cigarette smoking. It is
ture her remuneration Of the prac-
tice is traceable to a physician s
warning that her heart was affected,
but it is said the decision of the ex-
slave girl will have national effect,
and that the great Middle Empire ex-
poets to see soon yellow and black
edict forbidding cigarette smoking f.
all Chinese-weak heart or strong
heart.
With opium prohibited and the
cigarette denied to the Chinese, there
remain only the little thimbIe pipe
and the "hubble-bubble" as the
smokers slace, anod it is quite pos
sible that even these forms of devo-
tion to Santa Nicotina will be placed
on the taboo list. Then will be seen
the new Asiatic marvel of 100000, 900
smokeless people.
The gravity Of the anti-smoking
move in China does not lie in the fact
that Tsi-An can accomplish with her
hundreds of millions of people what
queer old tobacco-hating King James
could not do with his hundreds of
thousands of subjects, but, as show
ing what the great new Power, China,
can be made to do by one authori-
tative word.
By edict it can be led to revolu-
tionize the habits of centuries; by
edict it can construct vast modern
army out of unique relics; by edict
it may be reused from the lethargy
of ages into very alert and mod

A WEAK, UNSAFE LEADER.

Bryan's latest acrobatic feat in
abandoning the government ownes-
ship issue inspires the Philadelphia
Press to indulge in some interesting
reflections regarding the man.
"The first" it says, sis fresh
and striking confirmation of the truth
that he is singularly vacillating,
uncertain and irresponsible public
man. The second and the more Sc
rious reflection is that nearly half
the voters Of the United States prac-
tically recognize no political leader
but this shallow, voluble and unstable
demagogue.
"A year ago Mr.. Bryan made
spectacular homecoming from a tour
around the world on which he had
played the role Of the student, the
observer and the sage. Withdrawn
from the immediate arena, he had
had ample time for meditation. He
knew the burning questions Of his
country. Free from the tumult and
confusion Of the direct forum of
contention he had formulated his
policies in the serener altitude and
atmosphere Of distant observation.
He was returning to resume his lead
ership and define his platform as a
presidential candidate. He was re-
ceived with great acclaim and pro-
ceeded to make the elaborate speech
which was the treasured store and
sum Of his experience, his wisdom.
and his craftsmanship. It was sim
ply an extended argument for gov
ernment ownership as the one pan
acea for all railroad corporation evils.

THE DESCENT OF MAN.

Newport s luckily exclusive set at
tended a monkey dinner yesterday.
The dinner called the chief guest
simian, but he was a plain enough
monkey nevertheless. The parrot was
not present, but judging from the
press reports they had that kind of
a time.
Mr.. Belmont was there, Mr.. Elisha
Dyer, Jr., was there, and Mr.. Lis
penard Stewart was there. Lispen-
ard; the name looms large on the
eastern social horisOn and we have
always loved it. So long as the
young women who are the chroniclers
of the doings of the best that the
country holds continue devoted to
duty it never will be allowed to get
beyond the range of our affection.
Mr.. Belmont is direct descendant
Of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry,
who at Lake Erie g battle wrapped
the flag of the sinking Lawrence
about him and pulled through the
hell Of the fight TO the Niagara. If
the Oliver of that day could have
foreseen that his descendant was to
dine a monkey for the JOY of himself
and others, he would have said a
few words-and then some.
Mr.. Harry Symes Lehr was present
at yesterdays function, but Mr..
Lehr turned an abrupt shoulder to
the chief guest of the day; neither
could he be induced to invite the
honored one to second dinner. There
is still hope for Harry.-Chicago

LACK OF MUSCLE.

Massachusetts tells the bureau of
immigration in Washington that she
is sorely in need of farm laborers;
that she has no hope of getting all
she needs. The whole world, in fact,
is lacking in men who work with
their thews and their sinews. The
Panama canal, the great fields of
labor in Russia and in Africa show
that the common laborer is hard to
obtain the world over, and enterprises
