.
) TEMPORIZING WITH SCANDAL.
By the cotton-leak scandal and tbe Gorenuneat's
reluctance to cleave the situation and lay open tbe
whole scheme of crookedness tbe people are shown
again convincingly the essential character of aa ad
ministration which rates party store tbe pnbilc In
terest. Tbe effort is manifestly to draw tbe whole
fire of public attention to one or two offenders and
protect the Agricultural Department generally from
further attack or disturbance; whereas Indications
are strong, and bare been for several months, that
tbe whole department requires purging and renova
tion. Although no amount of whitewash coald make
tbe bureau look clean to tbe public, tbe administra
tion Is apparently determined to forestall anything
which could bring out the whole truth. The infer
ence Is comiellIng that tbe whole truth must be
much worse than anything the public now suspects.
Representative Wilon declares that a resolution
will be Intrednred in the House, as soon as Congress
assembles, to provide for an Investigation of tke
entire department. Desirable project, but It is not
strongly probable that the resolution would le
passed. The machine-dominated Congress has
sbotvn. In Its attitude toward tbe postal scandals. Its
arrogant contempt of a similar demand. No a
restlgation which is likely to result in a wholesale
disclosure or Republican graft will receive any en
couragement from the national legislature ad now
composed ami ruled.
By each scandal and the scries of scandals which
have lieen running in various branches of tbe Fed
eral service for several years have been Impressive
tbe public Is brought nearer to tbe determination tbat
Republican administration has become saturab-d
with graft. At present we find a leading Industry
of the country sorely Inconvenienced by the rascali
ty which falsified statistics and sold advance in
formation to gambler. The effect Is not upon the
cotton industry alone. It extends to every associa
ted business. It will not require many more dis
astrous instances of department graft to arouse pub
lic opinion to a pitch of radical Intolerance of the
guilty and of the party which shields tbe guilty.
Another national election Is more than likely to wit
ness such a state of public mind and the piuckluji
out of the corrupt system root and branch.
CHINA'S BOYCOTT.
Chief Wilkle of the Secret Service, returning from
China, gives it as his opinion tbat tbe American
merchant need not take the Chinese boycott very
seriously. The merchant who takes Wilklc's assur
ances very seriously Is due to regret It Mr. Wlliile
docs not apprehend correctly the structure and char
acter of Chinese commerce or be would know tint
what the Chinese business men decide to do they
arc fully capable of doing with respect to the closure
against American goods.
Self-government Is actual and local throughout
China, though tinknown by that name. The bead
of the Empire Is supposed to be the ruling power,
and is as far as external functions go. The "gov
ernment," however, does not In reality extend much
l-voniI tbe collect ion of taxes and tbe keeping up of
pretenses. It dm not Intimately affect tbe in
dividual in any relation. The actual regulation of
the peoples conduct, and particularly In business. Is
by custom, of which the people themselves are the
Judges, and the Judges of last resort. Commerce
supremely regulates Itself so long aa It does not con
flict with the meager sphere of Imperial authority.
The imperial government Is aloof from business and
no appeal to It will reach the merchants.
To boycott American business is a simple enough
affair. The guilds, compradors, factors and middle
men have but to decide to have no dealinpi with
American houses, and the thing Is done. No bnst
nesa except through these agents can be done with
Chinese merchants, and no power short of the wills
of tbe agents can alter their decision.
Chinamen must be conciliated by American busi
ness, and until the truth la learned and the concilia
lien effected no hoje of overcoming the boycott can
le Intelliceiifly cherished, wliatever Chief Wllkie
may think to the contrary. The Heathen Chinee Is
jH-ciiiiar. and Clilnie peculiarities will have to lie
taken into account by business.

BASEBALL VERSUS THE CONSTITUTION.
Tbe GIolies baseball editor temporarily In charge
of constitutional questions continues to bat fouls
and make false buuta oa the subject of the Towers
fise, which recently m a thoughtless moment be
ventured to discuss.
It would doubtless be too much to expect him
to perceive tbe distinction, no matter how plainly
the United States Supreme Court has defined It, be
tween a mere failure of Justice Incident to the ad
ministration of a law and the denial of equal pro
tection by tbe State Itself through discriminating
legislation. It might, though, be reasonably expect
ed that even the basctall editor would refrain from
such a ludicrous proposition as he yesterday ad
vanced. I'ndwbly upon the theory that three strikes are
out. he argues that since the Supreme Court of the
State of Kentucky has had three whaeks at the case
It Is now the Federal court's turn to bat. There
may be some authority for such a proposition In the
league rules, although the learned editor omits to
cite them. But there in no authority for that sort
of uonscnae tn the Constitution or laws of the United
States. Would It not be well for the editor to read
the Constitution and the removal statute mic time
when ha la resting?

WITHOUT POWER.
China refuses to surrender any part of Manchuria
and claims the right to be consulted. Unfortunate
ly. China cannot back her words.
Japan could not afford to let Port Arthur go back
to China; because there would be bo guarantee
whatever that Cblaa would aot give it to Russia.
Germany or say ether nation threatening trouble.
Sovereignty is force. Diplomacy Is force. There
ought to be nothing bat adjudication; but. In the
present state or tbe world, adjudication must bare
force behind It or be brought Into contempt.
Unless China baa force, or is supported by na
tions which have It, she cannot expect Japan and
Russia to subordinate their Intereata to kera,

Was it not a bit thoughtless to advertise that a

of Itself sufficient to attract vast attention to him.

with the amount. Incidentally, we would advise

Mr. Swanger and the Republican party appear to
be holding an empty bag so far as receivership

however. It Is not difficult to Imagine that they are
still hoping.

to attempt a continuance of tbe business.

MISS PATTERSON'S PHILOSOPHY.
On MI Nan Patterson's reappearance at the
Brighton race trail;, after a considerable absence
due to lamentable cirrumstaiiiis ier which s!ie had
no control, the lady remarked for the bcnoilt of an
alert rt'porler who had IhImci1 ujkmi her saying
konicthlng: "I we the same hungry-eyed hustlers
a!w:is trying, ami about as far away from getting
rich as ever." She re-enforced this oliservation by
I philosophically Iajing a bet of ten dollars on S!y at
eicht to five. As It happened. Sly ran only second,
and a bookmaker go: her little piece of money
which, perhaps, was Just, or retributive, consider
ing. The point being, however, that she recognized
"the same hungry-eyed hustlers" about the track.
There they were. The world had changed, but not
they. They were still out after the easy money:
still playing that grim game of catch with tbe ghost
of fortune. Poor chaps, they had not Improved
themselves much. They were attorn as far away
from getting rich as ever-and hoping, always hop
ing, hungry-eyed, with tly ghost of fortune grinning
at them sardonically. Which Is worse, to be merely
broke or to be forever hungering for the luck which
eludes? Added to the shabby pennilessnes of tbe
broken-down sport, the poor habitue suffers the

of fortune and the fit of the land, and by that same
distance Is kept close to the tantalizing contrast
which makes him hollow-eyed. The gambling fever
Is a rather ghastly manifestation, as Mls Patterson
Intelligently observed.
It Is the bookmaker who gets the money and gets
It regularly every day. and who. If he could only
keep from betting at some time or other on another
man's game, would be the very impersonation of
fortune. No Barmecide feast for him, but a steady
and substantial diet brought by a thousand vassals
every day. He matches your rags with fine rai
ment. At the price of the pain of your gauat de
sire he pnae.es a roseate world.
He is the real object of all tbe solicitude, hunger

In a lecture by Professor E. Ray Lankester. lately
published In London, the distinguished naturalist de
fends a somewhat new argument for giving the pre
eminence In the unlverlty curriculum to nature
stiidiesi. He eaM that by his Interference with natural
laws of heredity and variation clvllizil man has pro
ceeded ro far In his Interference with extra human na
ture, has produced for hlm;eif and the living organ
Isms associated with him Htich a special state of thini?i
by his rebellion against natural selection, and his le
flanre of nature's pre-huraan disposition, that ho must
either co on and acquire tirmer control of the condi
tions or perish miserably by. the vengeance certain to
fnll cm the half-lira rte.l med.ller in gre.it affairs. It
Is. he aaya. practically certain th.it all epllcrnlc dWen.se
could be abolished witiiin a pcrjpd ro short as) llfty years
If the state cared to taUo the matter in hand and cm
ploy the means at the command of science. Ho would
tl.en have legislators edurateil In the clenceji of nature,
so th.it they will understand and appreciate the dan
gers and the remedies, rather than In tho old studies.
Professor Idnkestrr wan to think that the highest
study of mankind I nature; he hardly accepts Pope's
notion that 'The proper study of mankind is mm."
much less that of Plato, who ald: "Tree.; and field
teach mo nothing; men are mv teachers." Plato was
hatf wronp. but was he not risht in thinking that, how
ever valuable the study of mture. tint of man. lils his
tory, hi exp-rienep. hi achievement. I the let and
most profitable of all saidl'S? "fan ha a brain of five
or six times the bull:. In 'proportion to size, of any other
surviving simlin. The work of that brain Is more val
uable for study than the anatomy of simian brain", and
the culture of that bip brain 1 more to be ronMcn-l
than all pjateur's cultures of bacteria In sterilised soup.

MR. SWISSl-RSir? SOTBU
. Funch's literary gossip-mongers will not
have failed to note tha piquant announce
ment In a recent number of the Athen
aeum that Mr. Swinburne is shortly about
to publish a prose romance entitled love's
Crcs CurrertF. satirizing certain charac
teristics of modern society. By tha eer
clre of that clairvoyant anticipation for
which ha haa long been famou. Mr.
Punch Is able to present hi readers with
an extract from an early cliapter of thl
momentous work, supplemented by a brie!
scenario of Its enthralling sequel:
"Basil Wlndrush. the most inezprerslbry
nonres-pectabla Guardsman who had ever
established the unequivocal superiority of
Intrepid self-asertlon over moral excel
lence, was now at the supremo turning
point of his exorbitantly Intricate and In
comparably fervent career. Of fearleis
courage ami herculean strength. h had
also nil tender and exquisite qualitie of
breeding, and all courteous and gracious
Instincts of klndnes. Ills Apollonian
lineaments recalled tho superb beauty of
hi' grandfather. Lord Mimram. His
slender feet nnd bands were a living
proof of his descent on his mother's side
from Ijidr Sarah Medwln, the Cinderella
of the Restoration. He rode like a Cen
taur, ha swam like an Inspired conger
eel. his dancing would have driven Tag
lion! delirious with inupportr.ble envy,
and hi. mutnche. undulating In an am
brosial curve and diffusing an atmosphere
pronounced by no less distinguished sn
authority than the German Emperor to
be nmonpt tho noblest achtevementa of
catdllarv landscape, gardening.
''Basil was beautiful and beloved: Im
pervious to the malodorous calumnies ex
haled by the porcine public, serenely In
different to the rancid homage of pro
fe!onal sycophants. Hut still his lot waa
not on of unmitigated felicity. Tha ele
mentary rules of Bridge had always pre
sented to him insuperable difficulties, and
now. after a year's uninterrupted and dis
astrous losses. It was borne, In upon him
that he waa no longer worthy or aocla
tlon with messmates of auch Infinitely su
perior skill. With lightning promptitude
he took his decision and acted upon It;
sent In his papers, compose.! his will In
tetrameter galliamblca. and dispatched an
Intimation to the Morning Post that the
morganatic marriage arranged between
Captain Basil Wlndruh of tha Grenadier
Guards and Lady Vivien Leyceater would
shortly take place."
So much for Mr. Swinburne's own hand.
Wa may carry on this fascinating ro
mance, one of the gems of the Putney
School of Fiction, which began with Ayl-
wm, ay ie lui.uwins; ciuur -uiuwiii
Exaperated to an Incredible pitch of
fury by th odious Insinuation that ah
would consent to undergo tho Ignominy
cf nny matrimonial tie. however lax. Lady
Vivien feeks refuge in a vegetarian ran
Itnrium kept bv the notorious bigamist.
Doctor Lanthorh Black. Revived and ex
hilarated by the treatment which she there
receives. Lady Vivien elope with Doctor
Black to hi marine pavilion on the shore
of th" Grat Salt Lake, where, on the thir
teenth anniversary cf their elopement they
are married in tho Mormon tmple.
It 1 doubtful if. even in the days of
lurid narrative, anything more convincing
nnd curdling thin Mr. Swinburne's ro
mance ha seen the light. It will, we need
hardly a-Id. be dedicated to Mr. Watts-Dunton.
