ASSISTING EMIGRATION.

Although the British government has been urged for some years to reduce ex- penditures in every direction. and to abandon all schemes which. however de- sirable in themselves or from the inn perial point of view, place new burdens upon the taxpayer, the colonial office re- gently negotiated remarkable agree. ment with the Australian government. In the words of the British lord chan cellor, it "may one day be accounted his torical.''
 The agreement provides for assisted emigration on a large scale and under efficient dual control Canada and oth- CT British colonies are to be accorded the same benefits that Australia and New Zealand will receive under the plan in question. Great Britain under takes to pay about s15,o0O,ooo annually for period of fifteen years, into a fund that Is to be devoted to the en- couragement of emigration from the overpopulated mother country to the overseas dominions that are crying for the right kind of settlers
 There is no thought of shipping people carelessly or promiscuously to the colo nies. Applicants will be examined by officials of the particular colony tc which they may wish to go. and only those who are fit to live and work ir "pioneer style" to take up land and build homes and communities for them selves, will be given pecuniary aid. The only exception to this rule, it seems will be made in favor of wage-workers or servants who are able to furnish def nite promises or contracts of employ. ment
 A notable feature of the plan Is it! partially contributory character. An! intending settler whose application ha. been duly approved will receive two thirds of the cost of emigration and ac quisition of a farm, but only one-hal of this amount will be treated as a gift The other half is to be deemed a loar made by the empire.
 The prospect is that under this plar not less than S45o, 100000 will be ex pended in the next fifteen years on wha has been called in London 'the grea trek' from the tight little island to thu vast overseas dominions of the BritisI empire.

CHINA AWAKE TO SEARCH OUT TRUTH.

What is the character, extent and si Snificance of that present move ment in China which news dispatches have for some months been indicating as, or confusing with, a movement directed against Christianity and against Western ideals and influ- ences?
 The recent return from the Far East of Dr. John R. Mott, General Secretary of the International Com mittee, YMCA, has given opportunity for enlightenment on this subject from one whose experiences and relation ships in the Orient give unusual val ue to his observations. It was Dr. Mott's fifth journey in the Far East, not counting the one which took him as member of the Root Commission twice across Siberia. He regards this last as the most timely and in pos abilities the most fruitful passing his feeling in part on the opportunity opened up by the present new though" movement in China, the term used not as applied in America to a cult but as indicating an intellectual manifestation.
 The spirit of new thought Dr. Mott points out, is surging in the brains of professors and students in China. There is a welter of conflicting ideas | and ideals occupying them, a spirit l inquiry desire to revalue everything | There is no tradition or social sanc- | tion or practice, past or present, which is too sacred or binding for them tc l question or discard if they cannot prove it's personal and social eff 1 ciency. In intensity and possibilities there has been nothing comparable tc this movement, in Dr. Mott's opinion l Qinna in Il 1 is transcended by the other in the | number of people involved and in tho variety of interests touched and ex- hibited. In the way of mental awaken ! ing, hunger, courage and serious pur- 1 pose it is, he says, the most interest. ing and quickening development n, has ever observed.
 Dr. Mott on his visit to China il 1896, found the so-called scholars i'm l peryious and unwilling to hear or dis | cuss. Now there is not only an activ spirit of inquiry but a determination
 to use any methods to get at truth
 There is social passion as well a | an intellectual hunger in this aWak ening. It makes possible almost any
 thing from the point of view of a caus
 which knows it's purpose and goal an
 is sure of it's message. The situatio

 pr. Mott found the same welcome in Japan. both in public and private. He was invited to an audience with the Empress-the first Christian lay man thus honored-and also had a personal meeting with the Prince Re- gent. He found both interested in dis cussing Christian principles.
 As for the "anti- Christian move ment,' which Dr. Mott regards as ex- aggerated in news reports, he believes it accentuated the timeliness of the
 world union of Christian stN1ents represented in the conference at Pe- king of the Worlds Student Chris tian Federation; also of the National
 Christian Conference at Shanghai. Of the student conference Dr. Mott says that in his judgment no gath ering has done more to knit togeth>
 CT the leaders of tomorrow in the East and West. The $50 delegates came from 32 countries, but it was pre-e eminent 1 ly an Asiatic gathering.

HIDES ON FREE LIST.

New England may be grateful to Sem ator Lodge that he led the opposition to a duty on hides. If he had been equally mindful of his constituents in the mat ter of wool they would have double cause for gratitude. By tradition and by practice in American tariff making hides have been on the free list for years. There has been no change in conditions which would justify any change in that practice. This country Ioes not now and never has produced hides enough for the shoe manufactur- ITS and the other industries that use eather, so that large imports of hides Ire always indispensable. In working Tor duty on hides, the farm bloc seems to have pursued a very short sighted policy. Where the farmer might receive a dime more for hides he would pay dollars more for shoes The ave- rage farmer does not sell a hide a year except on the hoof, but he and all his family but many pairs of shoes. To levy a high protective tariff for the benefit of cattlemen and beef packers who never can produce hides enough to meet the nations requirement would be fragrant abuse of the theory of pro- lection. Only a few of us own packing plants and slaughter houses, but we all wear shoes. Placing hides on the free list where they have always belonged may hurt the packers and slaughter house owners and a few farmers, but it will save millions on the American shoe Dill
