RUSSIAN AUOAClTY.
The Coup That Made Persia a Finan'
ciaI vassal of the Bear.

In 1892 the Imperial Bank of Per-
sia. a British institution, lent the
Persian government $2,50O,OOO on the
security of the customs receipts or the
eulf ports. In 1895 Persia, finding
herself again hard up, desired to bor-
row $6,000,000 more from the same
source and on the same ample Sc
curity. But before the British bank
ers would grant the additional loan
they must needs bubble and procras-
innate and insist on still furthef
conditions. Finally, however, So'-
25O,OO0 of Persian bonds were under-
written in London. Russia, hearing
of the affair at the eleventh hour ana
fifty-ninth minute, promptly offered
Persia a much larger loan on much
better terms. and she did no haggling
either. Persia, finding herself In the
embarrassing position of having two
parties suing for her financial hand
at the same time and not daring to
offend either of them, thought to es-
cape from the predicament by not
borrowing at all. -,
But so peristently and skillfully did
Russia urge her suit that in l9OO
Persia timidly yielded to the ardent
wooing and acknowledged her sub
mission by accepting from Russia
loan of $11,S75,000 for seventy-nVe
wears, at the same time agreeing that
all previous loans should be paid on
at once and no more incurred until
this one was discharged without the
permission Of the Russian Banque
Desprets de Perse. Within less than
a month, therefore, 5,0OO,OO0 rubFes
1s2. SOC, 0OO) were remitted to London
to nav off the British loan Of 1892,
thereby freeing Persia from any Brit
ish financial control. There has been
no more audacious and successful
stroke of diplomacy in modern times.
for by it Persia became financial
vassal Of the bear.-Everbody's Maga-
zine.

suits are obvious. All the members

power to promote the business of the

Another rule of the Chinese is new
er to antagonize each other. Price
cutting against one another is un-
known. 1t Is quite true that they
may have a fluctuating scale of prices
TO suit the purse of the prospective
purchaser, yet they never go below
the minimum price agreed upon by
all similar dealers.
IF they can get a few cents more
than the real worth of an article that
Is considered a clever trick and Is
possibly the one shady habit the race
has in business dealings. Competitors
rarely feel any i'll effect from this, be-
cause all dealers in the same line are
generally one and the same company
or corporation. Each establishment
may have it's own firm name. but the
chances are that the profits from all
are consolidated and divided among
the lot
IAN organization of this kind has
other advantages than the one or sell
ing to a customer at any price ABOVE
actual cost that he Is willing to pay
For instance, in one for Eastern city
where a big brewery is located the
Chinese grocerymen will sell you
case Of beer. malt or stout all the way
from so cents to S1.5O cheaper than
the brewery will sell 1t.
"All grocerymen, big or little, are
affiliated with one another, buying
together and selling at low figures
When they desire to replenisn thelr
stock a shrewd buyer Is sent out. He
buys for all Of them, the quantities
of course being much larger than those
of any other one house or perhaps OF
any other half dozen houses conducted
by foreigners. Naturally he gets pig
discount. =
"The same method is employed in
ordering goods from other countries.
II is no uncommon thing to buy
American canned goods from Chinese
groceries, particularly abroad, all the
way from 10 to 20 per cent cheaper
than the American dealer charges for
the same article.
But the one admirable trait of the
Chinaman is his honor. If he gives
Won his word it Is as good as his bond.
In his own country he is taught non
esty from the cradle to the grave. A
thief at home is looked upon as the
blacklist criminal. No matter tne ma
ture of the theft death Is the ineVita-
BILE penalty. Certainly all his reia-
tives suffer the same penalty on the
principle that dishonesty Is in the
blood that to eradicate 1t the entire
strain must be wiped out.
with latter day implements ana
tine spirit that goes with them, which
are surely coming with the AWAKEN,
ing of dormant China, the commercial
world at large will some day feel the
colossal strength of the Chinese Dusl-
ness man."

OUR UNDERPAlD PREACHERS.
Hard Working Mon Who Take Little
Thouoht For the Morrow.


How about our underpaid preachers
these times of the high cost Of living?
Are they not finding it rather difficult
to make their scant salaries meet the
expenses of themselves and their fam
lilies? They are persistent beggars for
charity and foreign missions, but they
are modest about suggesting an IN
crease in their own compensation.
We are led to make this comment
by the statement carried by Pasa-
dena, Cal, dispatch, that a church in
that city has offered the Rev Dr..
Newell Dwight Hills, the pastor of
Plymouth Congregational church
Brooklyn, N. Y, double the salary he
is now getting to take charge of its
pulpit. Mr.. Hills is now getting $l5,-
900 a year besides perquisites that
amount. If he were to accept the
Pasadena call therefore he would be
paid $4,000 a year. That is as much
as is paid to fifty preachers in some
parts of the country.
1t doesn't seem quite fair that there
should be such a difference in the
compensation Of preachers. Still.
their compensation is largely deter
mined by ability and circumstances,
as is that of lawyers, doctors, journal
lists and. in fact, all professional men.
1t does seem however, as If there were
less willingness to pay preachers than
any other class of brain workers Why
this is 80 it is difficult to say. There
is no doubt that preachers measure up
well with lawyers, doctors, teachers
and journalists intellectually and in
every other way, and their work is
more important than that of any other
class of workers. A few in the cities
are literally paid. some magniticently,
as for instance, the Rev. DR.. Hills,
but the great majority find it hard
work to feed and clOthe their families
penses out of the salaries they re-
ceive.
And a sad feature of their case Is
that when old age approaches and
their powers begin to fail murmurs
arise in their congregations which not
infreQuently amount to demand for
a young man, who is better able to
make the church popular and thus in
crease the church's revenue. The
preacher doesn't have a pleasant home
and all the comforts of life to look
forward to. Increasing years mean in
creasing worries. and the infirmities Of
age often mean neglect and poverty.
Surely in this age when 80 much is
being done for foreign missions and
there is so much talk Of pensions for
government clerks, railroad toilcrs and
even for persons who are too old to
work, there ought To he some move
ment to make provision for old and
poorly paid preachers. Some of the de-
nominations do, of course, make an
effort to care for their supcrannuated
preachers, but the provision that is
made is far from being as liberal as 1t
ought to be.-Savannah News.
