W Iii Hung Chang. pV%T The Chinese vioeroy is probably the greatest livingd statesman. If Gladston,e or Bismarc ha been born in his place surrounded by the same conditions, load ed down by the weight of the prejudices and superstitions of 7,000 years, instead of having been born Caucasians in the most enlightened countries of western civilization, it is doubtful if either of them could have made so good a show ing as the wise and powerful old China man ha3 done. Now, at the age of 74 years, but as robust and commanding in mind and body as any man of 50, Li Knn Chang, the great Asiatic who loved Grant, puts' aside the cares of state by permission of his imperial mas ter and makes the grand' tour of the world. It is not for his own pleasure he does this. He could match John D. Eocke- feller million for million in the matter of wealth, and after John's 179 Stand ard Oil millions had run out old Chang would still have an ample supply. He has many palaces, and all that can make life worth living, even to an assortment of wives, and he has more fame than the emperor himself. Bu* ho and his master remember the drubbing the Japanese gave them. They rightly attribute it to Japanese knowl edge of western ways and warfare, west ern weapons, western ironclads, western marching and railways and supplies. They want to see what it is that makes the west greater than Asia. So the em peror sends Li on his travels around the world. The result will undoubtedly be a grea* boom of modern improvements in the kingdom of the yellow fellows. This boom the United States must have the benefit of. It must have its share of supplying China with all that she needs to bring her abreast of modern nations. It is right, therefore, that we welcome Li royally and show him what wonder ful machinery and inventions we have, how rich and resourceful we are. There is no doubt but in course of time China will come abreast of modern notions. Her defeat by Japan may have been the best thing that could have be fallen her. It is a pleasure, as each Sept. 4 rolls around, to extend our congratulations to our sister of France on being able to steadily maintain a republic in the midst of the most adverse conditions government of the people ever encoun tered. On the one hand the Bonapart iets, on the other the Bourbons, are ready at any moment to pounce upon the slightest weak spot in her republican armor and wound her to the death. Her own people are excitable, suspicious and changeable, admirable as they are in many respects. In front of her and around her the rulers of empires and kingdoms turn cold eyes upon her and watch her experiment of a democracy with only half veiled hostility. (Until Pope Leo XIII issued his command from the Vatican that such a scandal should no longer be the very church and priests of the people were all against her and openly in favor of Bonapartism or Bour bonism. Yet through it all the republic of France has lived 26 years this 4th of September and gives fair promise of liv ing on many generations more. May it be so, and may the citiz3ns of both France and the United States become year by year more wise, kindly and truly republican, more closely knit together in the great brotherhood of nations! Li Hungtlbang, one of the four great men whom General Grant discovered when he went around the world, may turn out to be the greatest of them all. The others were Beaconsfield, Bismarck and Gambetta. The estimate of Beacons field by the generation that followed him is that he was not a great man of the first rank after all. Gambetta died too soon. Bismarck clouded his great ness by a horribly bad temper which wrought his downfall at last. Only Li Hung Chang, the powerful, wily, even tempered, deeply thinking Chinaman, is left, not a whit abated in honors, influ ence or intellectual force, though he is 74 years old. The celebration of the battle of Sedan by the Germans and of the proclamation of the, third republic by the French come so near together that the old bit terness is annually apt- to be warmed over again in tie French mind. Sept 1, 1870, the battle of Sedan was fought. Sept. 2 Napoleon HI surrendered, with 90,000 men, to the Prussians. Sept. 4 the enraged and desperate Parisians pro claimed the republic. Then followed the awful scenes of the commune. The Germans, as time goes on, celebrate more enthusiastically the anniversary of Sedan, which will not tend to soothe the French feeling toward them. The porte will grant the Cretans a Christian governor and financial auton omy with a string. The string is that the Cretans shall pay an annual tribute to the sultan and that the powers shall guarantee the payment of the money. While this is better than having brutal Turkish tax collectors rob and maltreat the Cretans and extort by violence double the sums they were entitled to, still it-is not financial autonomy by any means. tj?\ Some of the New York papers that have taken every occasion to jeer at the west and snub all the country outside of their own provincial town are now pained almost to the point of tears be cause certain parties are striving to stir The Lovejoy Monument. It was Wendell Phillips who said that if a young man wanted to win fame and honor be had only to espouse an nn popular cause and stick to it till it won. This was never truer than* in the case of Elijah P. Lovejoy, whose monument, srowned with a winged victory, will soon look down upon the people of Al ton, Ills. The stataappropriated $25,000 for the statue and the city of Alton $5,000, and with this the great granite shaft will be ouilt. But the fame in the case of Lovejoy was bought at the cost of a martyr's death, and he did not live till his cause Won. But it did win, and he won re nown. The state of society when this Chris tian minister was shot to death in the doorway of his own printing office for asserting the right of free speech can hardly be imagined in our time, though, to be sure, we have not free speech yet or anything like it. If the men and women of today spoke freely out their convictions on the most vital questions of government and society, half of them would be mobbed. Not a few might even suffer the martyrdom' of Elijah Lovejoy. Lovejoy claimed the right to speak and write against slavery. For this the office of his newspaper, The Observer, was looted three times and his press de stroyed in St. Louis. Then he moved to* Alton and to his death, in 1837. Upon one side of the great shaft which will commemorate his name is this sentence from his writings: "As long as I am an American citi zen, and as'long as American blood runs in these veins, I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write, to publish whatever I please on any subject, being amenable to the laws of my country for the same." The Special Car Fashion. When"the other day young Miss Van derbilt was married to Mr. Henry Payne Whitney and the youthful couple went away for their wedding journey, they had a train of cars offered for their service. Their attendants and servants, their food and drink, their luggage, taken in connection with the privacy desirable for so distinguished a pair, re quired nothing less than a whole train. It is true the papas of the bride and groom were railway magnates, and so the train cost nothing extra. We wish merely to call attention to a new and peculiarly American fashion. It is that of having' one's own special railway train or car, the same as one's own carriage or yacht. In Europe no person except a reigning sovereign, a member of a reigning fam ily or an envoy extraordinary who rep xesents a ruler would have a special car. Queen Victoria, the czar of' Russia and Emperor William have usually a train for their use. It would be in bad taste for even a member of the nobility to travel in such state, and it would make a wide sensation if a duke or marquis should attempt it, no matter how rich he were. But here in this land of liberty and equality the native aristocrat is more exclusive than the titled folk of Europe dare to be. It was not so very large a fleet that assembled to do honor to Li Hung Chang on His arrival in New York har bor, but it was exceedingly good what there was of it. There were 13 vessels in all, splendid specimens of modern naval architecture, every one. There were 4 battleships, 2 huge ones of the first class, the Massachusetts and Indi ana, 10,288 tons each 2 second class battleships, Maine and Texas, of over 6,000 tons each 2 monitors, the Am phitrite and Terror the cruisers Mont gomery, Newark, Cincinnati and Ra leigh the big armored cruiser New York, spry little ram Katahdin and th Dolphin, the dispatch boat that went to Europe with our white squadron six years ago. These made a beautiful show ing and must have convinced Li Hung Chang that America is up to date with her navy, what there is of it. And if Li wants any naval vessels on our approved pattern constructed for China, we can assure him our able shipbuilders are ready to serve him on the shortest notice. England would have done well to look after her Armenians at home while casting tons of ineffectual sympathy on the Armenians abroad. The condition of the released Irish political prisoners who have been in confinement 13 years shows that they were treated with a cruelty and severity one would only ex pect from a Weyler in Cuba. If the sto ries so freely told of the frightful phys ical condition of John Daly and the idi otic mental condition of Whitehead, the American citizen, are trueand they have not been contradictedthen Eng land has been guilty of a horrible out rage, and one which will stain her his tory,so long as she is a nation. Ireland has indeed been a much~wronged coun try, .ip- Few people stop to think that their individual happiness is not at all de pendent on outside circumstances. A habit of happiness can be cultivated, like any other habit, just as successfully. Happiness is as much a duty as cleanli ness and morality. The cheerful, hope ful temper which refuses to let itself be Potatoes are bringing at the rate of about 3 cents a hill in someparts of the Unioru &k Against Vivisection. 'If yon keep on, some of these days you fellows will cease to be satisfied With torturing animals and will want to be making your devilish experiments on human beings," said an .eminent surgeon to a body of enthusiastic vivi sectionists years ago. The prediction has been verified. In 1894 Dr. J. L. Pyle prepared and caused to be introduced into the Ohio legisla ture a bill to turn over condemned criminals to the vivisectionists and let them be experimented on "under an- Besthetics.'' An idea more fraught with fiendishness and weird diabolism never entered human brain. Are the rites said to be practiced by the devil worshipers of Paris any more hideous than the propositions to let a lot of calloused young surgeons, some of them not too particular in their conscience or morals, try any cruelty their imaginations sug gest on victims as helpless as the model of Parrhasius? i It is beyond doubt that familiarity with animal suffering and torture hard-, ens the human heart and chills human sensibilities. There was reason in the old law which forbade a butcher to serve on a jury in which a human life was at stake. It is a notorious fact that during the war many a leg and arm were sacrificed to the sheer blood thirstiness of army surgeons. Humane and intelligent persons, surgeons in cluded, all sincerely hope that the bill now before congress to prohibit vivisec tion in the District of Columbia will become law. The states of the Union will then pass similar laws. With the possibilities of seeing through and through living bodies which the Roentgen rays now offer, vivisection becomes simply bloodthirsty cruelty. England's Debt and Revenues. The Review of Reviews gives an ex plicit summary of the available assets of the English government which is in teresting. It will be handy to com pare with our own. It is particularly to be noted that England makes a profit out of her postoffice system, something the United States has never yet suc ceeded in doing. The Review's summary says:^ Last year the administration had a realized surplus of 4,210,000. This year, with an es timated revenue of 101,074,000, they expect a surplus of 1,708,000. Some slight modifica tions in the death duties will dispose of 200,- 000 100,000 will go in a trivial reduption of the land tax: increased grants to voluntary schools will swallow upif the education bill passes125,000, leaving a balance of 975,000, which is to be devoted to the relief of the land lords' rates. England's fiscal system remains exactly as it was. She raises 20,756,000 by customs, 26,S00,000 by excise, 16,100,000 by income tax and makes a profit of 3,743,000 out of the postoffice. The national debt now stands at 652,000,000190,000,000 lower than it was 39 years ago. England's national revenue and yearly budget is of about the same volume as that of the United States. The flying machine problem has cer tainly been solved to the extent of mak ing a motor which will rise in the air and move forward. To steer and man age it and to construct it on a scale which will make it useful to man is now the task that remains to be done. To Professor S. P. Langley, the Ameri can, belongs the honor of achieving the triumph. He has demonstrated over and again that a machine a thousand times as heavy as air can rise in the air to any desired height without the aid of gas or any kind of balloon and travel at great speed. It is interesting to know that Professor Langley got the idea of his machine from watching the soaring of the turkey buzzard. The worst nuisance of New Je^J&y is the mosquito of the Hackensack flats.' The worst nuisance of New'York city is the ashes deposited by the ton in the Atlantic ocean near the bay and harbor. Some genius has at lengthy evolved the happy thought of killing out the mos quito by means of the ashes. A contract has been made whereby the tons of su perfluous ashes will be deposited upon the Hackensack'meadows'year after year. In time the meadows will be filled up so that the tides will no longer inun date them. The land will be trans formed into valuable building sites and the millions of mosquitoes that now brood and increase in the swamps will become extinct. If the spirit of Benjamin Franklin, that live American newspaper man, can still look down upon things earthly, it must be a gratification to him to know the talent for journalism still runs in the Franklin family and that his great great-grandson, Rene-Bache,who recent ly unveiled the bronze statue of the old philosopher in Chicago, is a newspaper man, and one who is a credit even to such an ancestor as Ben Erankl_.'~%4 If, as is expected, it will be possible to bring together 100,000 Confederate veterans at the reunion in Richmond July 1 and 2, i will probably be the last time so many will assemble at one meeting. Both Confederate and Union veterans are dying rapidly and the rate increases year by year. Grand Army records indicate that in the state of Ohio alone 1,700 soldiers of the late war died in 1895. ^gfejjggjg The experimenters with the Roentgen rays are steadily approaching the point where they will be able to see tho human heart beating and the contents of Iho stomach perfectly. Then will come She triumph over dyspepsia and heart dis ease. The old shah of Persia was named Nasr-ed-Din.
