TIE NEW IrLTCHCRAET-

The squabbles of saints have never
been good for the cause of religion. and
Christian Science can hardly fail To suf-
fer nj least a temporary setback in its
successful career by reason of the rev.
elatiOns that have come from the dispute
in its leading church in this city. MALI
eiOus animal magnetism mental assas-
sination," mental self-defence from
NJ. A. NJ" aud the ether extraordinary
doctrines and practices brought to lignt
by this quarrel fill the public with
amaZement. Yet there is no disagree
ment among the faithful about the
potency of malicious animal magnet
ism," nor about the effectiveness OF
mental assassination" Both sides as
sert that such disbolism exists and that
its practice is forbidden TO the true re-
ligionists.
When the public gets over its astonish-
ment and its amusement at these novel
doctrines il will perceive that they are
logically a necessary part OF the Chris
tian Science theory. If good can be ac-
cOmplished by thought. then evil can be
accomplished by thought. If thought
will make a man well, then thought Will
make him III. Malicious animal mag
netism" Is only the reverse side of that
beneficent mental attitude toward hu-
Iaanity Of whose good effects churches
full of exceptionally cheerful and pros
porous people are the invariable witness.
The world has been cOnfounded by
those smiling multitudes of sick and i'm
potent said 10 have been made whole
and certainly kept in an excellent frame
of mind, and though it is disposed to
gTumble when beneticent spiritual mag
net!sm. If that is the reverse of M. \.
NJ" misses its aim, and life that
might have been saved by q pill or
powder is needlessly sacrificed TO a be-
lief, yet il has been reconeiled TO what
il has hitherto known of the creed and
practices Of Christian Science and be-
come tolerant Of them But this new
revelation that the followers Of Mrs.
Eddy believe that they can think an
adversary TO death. and that with the
utmost gravity they accuse each other
OF practising such mental assassina-
tion," will arouse new and what ought
10 be insuperable incredulity.
You are the bond woman and your
'son is the son of bond woman and
"the bond woman and her son must
"'go out before the free woman"
smacks of the VoodOo, while mental
assassination and malicious animal
magnetism" are reminiscent of the
'evil eye" and the burning or stick
ing pins into a waxen image of an
enemy. Fundamentally the diabOlism of
Christian Science does not-differ from
witchcraft. In favor OF the new witch
craft. however. this much may be said:
Its punishments are relatively kind.
Removing card" from an official jour-
nal is much more humane discipline than
purging with fire.

III EOrNDEn noUBTs.

Ex-Governor Murphy CT New Jersey
expresses doubts of the advisability of
the merit system in the public service,
until IL can be shown that a position
made permanent hy the law. instead OF
"by faithfulness and liability. does not
materially increase the cost and inn
pair the efficiency Of the public SER

But under the. merit system positions
are made permanent by faithfulness
and liability" or reliability. and by
nothing else. And who ever heard of
those qualities assuring permanence OF

their possessor did not belong 10 the

director OF the United States census Of

bureau would have cost S2.OO0000 less

In view of these facts, Mr.. Murphy
should forthwith dismiss his doubts and
declare his approval Of the merit system.

THE NODDIyG OF HOusR.

InasInuch as the late Mr.. Gladstone
was devoted admirer and student of
Homer, he was perhaps the more ex-
cuSable for sharing the bard's traditional
propensity for now and then noddlng.
On no other ground can we easily ex-
plain the extraordinary incident which
is related in the late Sir Henry stanley'S
autobiography and which was quoted the
other day in our review of that book.
Mr.. Gladstone is reported By Sir henry
as having taken exception to the latter's
use OF the word 'harbor'' 10 describe a
natural place Of shelter for ships. saying
that his interlocutor meant port or
roadstead, that barber was an artificial
construction, ana that he had never
heard the word applied to Il natural
haven.
The fact Is that the word has been
commonly used. probably for centuries.
in precisely the way which Mr. Glad
stone challenged as incorrect and uII-
heard of. and that such use of It is
to-day sanctioned 10y probably every
authority of consequence. Jennings
English Dictionary a century and
half ago made harbor Synonymous with
port or station and gave no hint of n
necessarily artificial construction. Such
distinctively English dictionaries OF the
present day as StOrmOnth's, the Ency-
clopedic and the Imperial define har-
Dor as port or haven, which ''may be
either natural or artificial" And the En-
cyclopedia Britannica. Chambers's En-
cyclopedia and similar authorities speak
of harbOr as IAN inlet of the sea" or
II port or haven or rOadstead'' which is
formed by natural conformation of the
land. or by artificial means"
The incident is worthy Of passing
notice as Il striking illustration OF the
limitations or infirmitieS of IA great mind,
and Of that peculiarly and pertinaciously
dOgmatic trait OF Mr.. Gladstone's dispo-
sition which now and then caused the
most judicious of his friends 20 grieve.

kEEPING WHEAT At HOWE.

hEEPTNG WHEAT At HOME.
How much longer it will take the con-
sumption Of wheat in the United States
10 catch up with the production is ques-
tion which is just now interesting ex-
porters and producers. Figures prepared
by the Bureau of Statistics OF the De
partment OF Commerce and Labor show
that during the five-year period ended
June 80. 1904. there We're produced 625.-
600. 900 bushels and exported. with -four
EXPRESSED in terms OF wheat. 192.0oO-OoO
bushels annually. For the following I'VE
years, ended June SO. 1909, there were
produced csc 100000 bushels and eX-
ported only ll3.oo0QO0 bushels annually.
This shows a decrease of 40 per cent In
annual exports in the latest hve-year
period. with a production far in excess
Of any other like term.
These figures show plainly that there
is an enormously increased consumption
OF wheat in the United States. but Il

Of the coming census before the percent

however. that a considerable portion of

as a food in place Of rye and other
grains. and this is an indication OF in

most costly of the food grains It's in-

JAPAN'S EGYPT.

Nothing I'm connection with Corea could
lie more gratifying and reassuring than
the announcement that the death OF
Prince Ito will cause no change IN
Japan's policy toward that country; un-
less. indeed. II were an assurance that
that announcement will be fulfilled. OF
that there must inevitably be some
doubts. seeing that in the last few years
repeated efforts were made TO change
the policy, which apparently were de-
feated only by the transcendent author
ity of Prince ItO's own personality. II
is 10 be hoped that reverence for the
memory Of that statesman will maintain
lis authority unimpaired.
Thus far Japan's policy toward COrea
has been simple and direct. In 1894
Japan pointed cut that her own vital
Interests were gravely menaced by the
decadence into which Corea had fallen
under Chinese suZerainty and by the
growing danger of the seizure OF Corea
by some Western power. and she de-
manded certain reforms. These China
refused To grant, with the result that
war followed. at the end OF which vie
tOrious japan enforced the reforms and
ended China's suZerainty over COrea.
But the amazing incompetence and corr
ruption OF Corea next threatened 10
make that country the easy prey of Rus
STA. wherefore Japan again interviewed
for her own protection. and defeated
Russia as she had defeated China.
Following the Russian war. Japan ex-
acted of Corea a series of treaties. Tile
first provided that the COrean govern
Ipent should 'adopt the advice" of japan
Ia regard 10 improvements in admins
tration. while Japan guaranteed ''the in
dependence and territorial integrity" Of
COrea. Under the second. COrea agreed
Ia regulate her finances and foreign re-
latiOns according to Japanese advice.
Tie third established a japanese Resi-
nt-General at the COrean capital. and
tie fourth. following the abdlcatiOn Of
the COrean sovereign. placed Corea under
the control Of the japanese Resident.
las approval being necessary for all leg
islatiou.
A marked resemblance IS apparent be-
tween this policy OF Japan In Corea and
that Of England IN Egypt. and between
the functions Of Prince Ito in the one
country and of Lord Cromer in the other.
il may be added that Prince Ito stead
fcstly opposed all proposals for the an
nexaiion OF Corea 10 Japan. declaring
that annexation formed no part of the

THE END OF THE @FLoATER."

The returns from the Assembly dis
tricts i'm Manhattan Borough lying south
of 14th street are a testimonial 10 the
efficacy Of the rev laws throwing greater
safeguards around registration and vot-
ing. That section was formerly hos
pitahle rendezvous for the colOnizer. tie
"foater' and the impersonator. Tam
many maintained there an artificial
strength ar the polls. IN spite Of de-
creasine population. Thousands OF old
residents moved further north or across
tie East River and their places were
ta6en-especally on the East Side-by
an alien element--ihe Russian Hebrews
which Tammnny could Dot assimilata.
But By tne employment of professional
voters losses due 10 natural causes were

was a comfort and a protection. for
