The Chinese Turmoil.

The Chinese situation grows more dis
quieting with each fresh dispatch from
the disturbed provinces. The people seem
TO be thoroughly aroused against both
the government and the foreigners, and
it Is with great difficulty that the i'm
perial forces are preserving order in the
regions Immediately surrounding the most
seriously affected province. SEE Chuen.
This province lies on the extreme western
border of China proper, adjoining Tibet
1t is difficult of access, and consequently
the foreign gunbOats are OF little or no
use IN effec,ing rescue OF endangered
citizens. There is reason to believe that
most of the missionaries and other for
eigners have escaped to comparatively
untrouoled places. though there can be
no positive assurance OF their security
until they are on board men-of-war. or
have reached Shanghai. Details Of the
uprising are SO meager that the whole
case is virtually left to the imagination.

Edward Butler, Boss.

An old-style political boss paid the
debt Of nature in ST. Louis tile other day.
He was rich. and his money had all been
acquired III political activity. For years
he ran the town.. He was frankness
itself and boasted that in the period OF
his Lower he had stolen many elections.
His name was Edward Butler " it'll
out education, he had risen from poverty.
He had the knack of managing men. and
exercised it. His motto was get there.
He got there. The slums Of ST. Louis
obeyed him. and the usufruct of his in
iuence was gladly accepted by men
higher up.
At last the town experienced an awak
eninG. The people rebelled at the steady
and open boodliiis, and found d Leader in
a young lawyer who had been elected
prosecuting attorney. Joseph W. Folk
discovered a good deal to prosecute; and
in the face of many threats did his duty
He broke up the boodling, and scattered
the boodlers.
Among the boodlers prosecuted was
Butler He was indicted, tried and con-
victed on the charge of bribery, but won
on an appeal 10 higher court. His
wealth secured the best of legal talent.
and the skillful maneuvering OF skillful
lawyers brought him out of his triDula-
tonS. He did no time
But his power was broken. He was
unable to resume business at the old
stand He was marked man; and then
the town had gone beyond him.
And yet it is stated that Butler re-
tanned the friendship of many men of
good standing in the community. He
was rough and tough, and disfgured by
his record, but it was said OF him that
his word was as good as his bond, and
that he had never deserted a friend. How
often that eulogy has carried man of
that kind.
The old bosses are passing, though
bossism is not. New times, new men;
new men, new methods. In every large
city is an element that responds readily
to what is called doing business" The
Buffers had their way with it for long
time, and, armed with it, created wealth
for themselves and power for others. In
one quarter they were democrats. In
The successors vi these men must find
new paths, and will. Wealth and power
still allure. While the fields for bosses
remain, bosses will develop. But it is
something to believe that the era of bold
election highwaymanry has passed, and
that closer watch is set now on the
polls than has hitherto been known,

highly in consequence of the ease of

Will the Districts public schools
bring the children OF Washington this
year more keenly to recognize the fact
that they are preparing themselves for
! the serious work of later years? In this
lies the test of any educational system
1t is not SO much a question of how
high scholastic standard Is MAIN
tanned by the pupils. how attractive are
the exhibitions Of wo-. displayed
toward the close of the year. 1t is
certainly not A question of how many
pupils achieved distinction on the ath
letic field. or which school wins the
most prizes. or which has the most
popular fraternities. 1t may not even
be a question of which teacher has the
largest classes: indeed, the larger the
class the less likely 1t is to yield the
ma ximum of benefit to the pupil. The
real success is scored by the school in
which the pupils. while treated as chill
dren and saved far as possible from
the grind that makes them prematurely
old. are brought to understand that
the lessons they are learning are all
preparatory and contributory, ana that
the hours they spend within the school
rooms are investments in future sue
