SOLVING CHINA'S RACE PROBLEM.

While China is commonly regarded as I'M
posing a serious race problem upon this anu
other nations. wherever her emigrants go, ana
as being herself the victim Of racial discrlmlna-
ton and intolerance, it must not be forgotten
that she has within her own empire and in her
own domestic politics and social organization
a race problem of the first magnitude. II has
existed in 4 chronic and often an acute form
for more than three and a half centuries. or
ever since the Manchu dynasty was placed upon
the throne of the Mings. IN all that time II
has colored the whole life of the empire 1t
gave rise to the TAPPING rebellion. one OF the
most destructive wars in human history, anu
10 the enormous system of secret societies
which prevails Throughout the Middle Kingdom
Hitherto there has been little prospect of-the
problems being solved, but now the imperial
government is undertaking the task IN way
which certainly seems auspcious
The plan is to effect an amalgamatton OF the
Chinese and Manchu races. partly through per-
mission and partly through compulsion- III
military affairs the Manchu Banner" forces,
which have been so distinct an oreanlzaton'
are to be abolished The troops Will be dis
banded and the pensions stopped and such
of the troops and officers as are retained IoF
service will be absorbed into the regular I'M
perial army. In dynastc matters a most I'M
portant step will be taken in permitting
princes of the imperial family, including the En-
peror and the heir apparent TO marry Chlnese
women. instead Of being restricted in thelf
choice to Manchus. as at present: the Chinese
women being, of course placed on entire equal
ty with the Manchus in every respect AS
result it Is hoped that before long the dynasty
will become half Chinese. and that an en-
peror will ell the throne whose father was Il
Manchu and whose mother was Chinese 1t
is naturally expected that the Imperial example
will promote many intermarriages between the
two races In social matters a most radical
change IS proposed IN forbidding Chinese
women to bind and deform their feet and re-
Quring them TO follow the Manchu example IN
letting those members grow TO their natural
size and shape Finally. III personal matters
II is proposed TO compel the Manchus to take
TO themselves surnames after the Chinese
fashion.
1t is noteworthy that while these changes are
proposed by Manchu government they affect
the Manchus more than the Chinese. requiring
the former to conform with the latter more
than the latter with the former. Moreover
they are all in the direction Of progress ana
enlightenment. quite apart from their speci!lc
bearing upon the question. They should
form practical working basis for a real union
OF the two races, which are so much alike
which have so much In common and the inter-
ests Of which are indissoluby united.

POWER FROM THE GgNEsEE

Interest in the project for deriving power
from the upper Genesee River by means Of a
huge dana at Portage Falls has been revived
by q recent visit TO the site of the proposed

No official utterance on the subject has yet
emanated from that body, but there is already
reason 10 think that some Of the members are
opposed to the scheme in question. According
70 The Rochester Herald the municipal ad-
minstratien of Rochester and the press of
the city are also strongly arrayed against it.
Renewed discussion Of the matter has brought
20 the front an alternative proposition, which
originated a little more than five years ago
with Lord Kelvin. On the occasion Of his last
-isit TO America he spent few days In
Rochester. and at that time outlined with
minute detail plan which he deemed superior
to the first one. which had then been practically
abandoned. The essential difference between
the two was that several small dams, placed
st the mouths Of the tributaries TO the Genesee
were preferred 10 one great dam. The opinion
was expressed that the substitute plan would
INSURE equal efficiency at reduced cost. Though

RUSSIA AND PERSIA.

The Persians will secsin Russia's warning
fulfilment Of their fears. Years ago old Nasr-
ed-Deen used to lken Persia TO q lamb be-
tween two lions, or Lion and n Bear, which
was afraid to lean the least bit in either drec-
ton lest it should fall into the hungry jaws OF
the one or the other. His successor Muzafrer-
ed-Deen, either fearing nothing or despaIrinS
threw himself into the embrace OF the Bear
Now Mohammed Ali is trying to resume and to
retain the position of perilous equilibrium be-
tween the two: but to his dsmay he finds that
the two adversaries-as he regards them-are
moving In upon him and are practically par
titioning Iran between them without so much
as saying, by your leave, Shah.'
Even before Russias manifestation of an in
clination to foreclose her claims upon the
northern part of the empire Persia viewed the
Anglo Russian compact with a mingling OF sur
prise resentment and apprehension She lad
cherished the hope that with her newly granted
constitution and parliament she would assume
n new lease of life and her independence would
be respected Indeed, 1t was largely to confirm
her independence and to postpone to some I'M
measured future all danger OF alien interven-
ton and spoliaton that the new era i'll her
affairs was established Naturally, she regards
it as uncommonly hard TO be smashed just as
she was getting herself into creditable shape.
But she is powerless. Resistance, rs she well
realizes. would only make her doom the more
speedy and hopeless.
The feeling of the Persian people was recently
shown in notable way in their treatment OF
the Atabeg Azam. He was Grand Nizier in
the closing years of Nasr- ed Deems reign, and
was distinguished for his ability TO sit on two
stools at once with ease and grace. Under
MuNffer-ed- -Deen he remained In Office until he
had contracted the Russian loans and thus,
New-York tribune., 1907-09-23

Persans thought sold the country to Russia
Then the people clamored against him so tnat
he had to be dismissed and went into exile
Last March, however. he was recalled by the
Shah. who regarded him the only man
nossessed of sufficient financial genius 10
s+raichten out the tangled fiscal affairs of the
emDire There was popular revolt against his
return. When he arrived from Russia, in
Russian steamer. he was not permitted to land
until he had signed a solemn pledge to respect
tbe constitution He became President of the
Council and Minister for the Interior. Probably
he was quite sincere in his professions of de-
vo+ion TO the interests of the nation. But the
neonIe distrusted him. and the other day he was
assassinated It is not improbable that his as
sassinatfon was the cause, or leading cause
of R1ssia's threat to intervene in Persian af-
roirs If he was what the Persians persisted in
eetaerning him. tool of Russia, his assassina-
ton was unquestionably disturbance affect

The outlook Is dark for that remainder of
what was once the greatest empire in the
world. 1t is Il pity that it should he So for
there is much vitality in the individual Persian
and there should apparently be promise OF
efficient and profitable revival Of the whole

habi!ltation OF declining empires IS one or the
hardest and rarest achievements in the world.

FARMERS AND THE NEW MILK RULES.

OId-fashioned persons have always found
good deal Of humor IN sanitary precautions,
and the dairy farmers who have received the
recent instructions from the New York Health
Department comment upon them with ready
bucolic satire The requirements say that the
feeding troughs must be we'll lighted. why
must COW have electric lights TO eat byF ask
the farmers with fine sarcasm Doubtless
they expect the intelligent sanitary expert to
require soon that every dairy farm shall keep
an ocust TO examine the herds eyes and
prescribe spectacles for all cows suffering from
myopia or.astigmatism and likely through fail
ing eyesight to choose her food unintelligently.
Every COW must have two square feet Of win
dow space in her stall and the window glass
must he kept well washed. The farmer affects
10 find in this requirement only a sentimental
provision that the COW shall never be cut off
from n view Of the natural scenery she loves so
well. The order that dairymen shall have
special milking suits that shall be kept clean
awakens snorts of contempt from men who
have always pinned their faith upon the over
als and jumpers Of general use
The good sense of some Of these requirements
is obvious. and doubtless the reason for the
others is plain enough to bacteriologists. The
ether requirements for cleaner and more sani-
tary stables are clearly necessary If milk is
TO he produced in sanitary surroundings. All
these requirements, however, mean additional
outlay and some of them continual additional
expense. and there is reason in the farmers
complaint that they cannot produce milk under
the new conditions for the present prices. The
fact is that the new requirements Of the Health
Department compel 4 remodelling Of ordinary
dairy farms in partial imitation of the fancy
dairies, where every cow Is inspected with
microscope for stray bacteria before milking.

shampoo and has his nails manicured before
sitting down to the pail, and where the whole
process of milking IS conducted like an anti
septic surgical operation. Such daries charge
fancy prices for their products, and If the cost
OF milk production is increased along those
lines New Workers viii probably have TO be
prepared to pay more for their milk.
