The phrase Young China has been
applied 10 the present rcvolutionists i'm
the Chinese Empire and seems 10 be
well deserved. The spirit Of the upris-
ing is entirely different from that OF
any other which has ever occurred i'm
that country and commands far more
strongly the Sympathies of the world.
The two with which it is naturally To
be compared. or COntrasted. are the
Boxer rebellion and the TAPPING rebel
lion both o. which were suppressed at
enormous cost and only with foreign
aid Now. the Boxer outbreak was di-
rccted savageIy against foreigners and
was marked by many atrocities. But the
present war is by no means auti-for-
eign. save as it is directed against GER
tain excessive foreign Influences i'm the
government, and special care is being
taken by the revoluticnists not 10 mo-
lest foreigners in any way.
Equally marked is the difference from
the TAPPING war That colossal conflict
was. Il is true. directed against the
Nianchu dynasty, as Is this. But it was
against the Manchus as such. in favor
OF Chinese as such. without regard 10
principles or practices The Taipings,
with all their exaggerated professions
o. Christianity, were not practical re-
formers. and aimed at no real improve
mcnts i'm government. In many respects
they were even more fantastcally an
tlquated than the Mauchus and their
success would have meant no great
reformation. but merely another case of
" "Amurath 10 Amurath succeeds Tho
present reyolutioniSts. on the other
hand. are opposed To the Manchu dy-
TASTY not because il is Mauchu. or not
for that cause alone. but more especially
because they regard it as corrupt and
inefficient and AZ not fitted most eXpe-
GitiOusly and most effectively 10 estab-
lish the vast reforms in politics, society
ard industry which the empire urgently
requires.
The difference IS iypifed by the con
trast between the leaders. The chief ol

It is to be hoped that the seven pro-

THE CRITICS OF THE TOBACCO !
PLAN.

TIE CRITICS Or IHE LOb1LLO
PLAN.
TIE attorneys general Of the Southern
states who are opposing the plan for
the reorganization of the American To-
bacco Company are better at making
figures Of speech than at suggesting
practicable substitutes for the schemc
which they condemn. Their criticism
that the plan submitted contains the
same kind Of dismemberment that
takes place when the hand divides into
"fEzers" is ingenious and I'm a great
measure Just But it is easy to criti-
else the plan of reorganization proposed
by the tobacco companies attorneys.
The ownership Of the industry remain
ing the same it is perfectly possible
that competition viii be suppressed TO
as great an extent after the reorganiza-
tion has taken place as & has been
under the trUSt
The difficulty is 10 suggest any plan
which is practicable and which viii be
certain to restore competition. The at
torneys general seem 10 favor a divis-
Jon of the companies To- no created
through the disinteeratioB Of the trust
among its stockholders rather than thc
pro rata distribution among those stock
holders Of shares i'm the new companies.
If this plan were carried ont one group
of stockholders would own one Of the
now companies and another GrOuD an
other. But would that insure coupeti-
ton? Those who formed the old com
.bination could still work together with
their separately owned now companies.
And. moreover. how would II he deter

ing fairly treated If oae received shares
in one company and another i'm another:

If totally independent companies with

ABOUT THE CHAR

Mayor Gaynor's remarks Yesterday
about the Murphy-Gaynor charter show
his persistency. In spite Of all that has
happened it is still a perfect charter.
He would Ike 70 have some one point
out n single provision in it that IS
wrong" And OF course, II Murphy sue

its behalf upon the boss through his con-
troll Of patronage or whatever else 1t Is
by which he has been able to obtain the
boss's support.
If the Democrats carry the Assembly
the Mayor will be the first 10 declare that
the verdict OF the people Is in favor OF
the charter that 'vitupcration" has
been rebuked and right has triumphed.
The charter was only scotcheG at the
last session. The danger Of its being re-
viyed next year is shown By the Mayors
being unable 10 keep still about it. even
when his talking endangers the plans Of
Co-Author Murphy for retaining his grip

is now getting too late for first class
baseball. The players can do themselves
full justice only iu mild weather. and
the uipuin- airs of the last week i'm Oc-
t0bcr are likely 10 numb the fingers Of
the folders and chill the muscles Of the
pitchers. The football player comes into
his own late in October. and the weather
which suits him is entirely unsuitable
for baseball

:. But the Natioual Leagues ran on for
four days longer. SO that the first worlds
