Their Indifference to Suffering and Their
Business Honesty. ~
The Chinaman is not wantonly cruel.
but be is marvelously indifferent to
the suiferings of others. The cook
, will cover a rat with kerosene and set
it alight. no: to enjoy its sufferings.
but because he believes its screams
will scare. its fellows away. A magis-
‘trate will fan himself gently on the
execution ground on which a yelling
malei’actor is being gradually cut to
pieces. not because he enjoys the spec
tacle, but because it is all part of his.
day’s work. A crowd of spectators
will watch a child drown because it
is no one’s special business to saveit.
and because to interfere in what does
not concern you may give. rise to
trouble.
From what has been already said
as to the keen. interest taken by the
Chinese in money matters, it may be
surmised that they should be, par ex-
cellence, a "nation of shopkeepers."
And so they are. To their credit be it
said that they have thoroughly‘real-
ized that bargains are binding. The
tea merchant may endeavor in every
way to get the better or" his European
confrere, but, once the mystic words
“putte book"—that is. enter it in writ-
ing—-have been uttered, the latter may
rely on the transaction being faith-
fully carried through. This compara-
tively high standard Of commercial
morality naturally results in an elab-
orate system of credit, greatly to the.
advantage of both contracting parties.
and, though the “squeeze," or perquis-
ite, enters into every arrangement, it
is not sufficient to stop the wheels of
commerce. though undoubtedly it fre-
quently clogs them. -
To go back on your word in a busi-
ness transaction, or to fail to meet
your liabilities. causes a Chinaman to
“lose face,” and this is to him un-
bearable. Tho sacrifices -which he.
will make on the approach of his new
year to enable him to avoid being
posted as insolvent are as extraordi-
nary as they are admirable. Nor
would it be right to omit all reference
to the fact that to their justice they
frequently add generosity. I well re-
member a case in which an American.
who had failed after years of labor.
was supported during the remainder
of his life by his “compradore,” as the
native employed by European firms in
their dealings with Chinese is termed.

_ AT TIMES IT Is worse.
Anyone who is obliged to take cod liver oil
will find certain days when it is impossible to
swallow the greasy, vile-tasting mixture. Es-
pccially in warm weather, or on a. mild day,
does cod liver oil become doubly obnoxious.
Because Vinol contains none of the unneces-
sary grease or fat, but does contain the active
curative principles of the cod’s liver, it is
bound to revolutionize the science of medicine.
Mr. Harris Chadwell, a. chemist of Ames-
bury, Mass., writes in this connection:
“Vinol is of particular advantage in warm
weather, or on mild days, When sufferers of
wasting diseases particularly need their medi-
cine. At such times our heretofore best known
remedy for— such diseases, cod liver oil, had to
be abandoned. Now no interruptions is ex-
perienced, for with Vinol, without the grease,
a patient can take his medicine in all-weather,
and thus doubly insure himself of a. cure.”
. We have found that many poo 1e with tend-
dencies to wasting diseases tookPVinol all last
summer. The consequences 'is that they im-
proved in a. manner that would not have been
possible with cod liver oil in its old form.
, Yours very truly, '

Vv'ashington, D. 0., Dec.
Senate committee on foreign relathi's
has concluded its revision of the bill
providing a territorial government for .
Hawaii, and. Senator Cullorn reported
the changes to the Senate.
The section defining citizenship was
by striking out the word
‘white” and also explicit reference to
Portuguese. and left to read as fol-
lows: ' ,
“That all persons who were citizens
of the Republic of Hawaii on August
12, 1898, are declared to be citizens of
the United States.
The request of one—fifth of the mem-
bers of the territorial House of Rep-
resentatives is made sufficient to den
mand the yeas and nays, the original
requirement, being one-third.
The provision in regard to the Quali—
fications of territorial senators is
changed so as to require that the sena-
tor shall be a male citizen, thirty years
of age. shall have resided in the Ha-
waiian islands not less than three
years, and “shall be qualified to vote
for senators.”
The explicit property qualification is
stricken out.
A like change is made in the pro—
vision regarding members of the House
who are required to be qualified by
the changes to vote for representa-
tives.
Section 43, allowing one house to
legislate after the other has adjourn—
ed, was stricken out. as was the pro—
vision requiring that each bill should
reeeive the written approval of three
members before being introduced.
The provision authorizing the terri-
torial supreme court to pass upon the
qualifications of members of the legis-
lature was not changed.
The governor is required to send his
estimates for appropriations to the leg-
islature as a. whole and not to the
Senate as ordinarily required.
The following restriction on the is-
suance of bonds is inserted:
“Nor shall any bend or other instru- '
ment of indebtedness be issued unless
made redeemable in not more than
five years and payable in not more
than fifteen years from the date of is-
sue."
The provision that no retroactive law
shall be enacted is stricken out.
In the qualifications for voters for
territorial representatives the word
“understandingly” in the educational
qualification is stricken out. requiring
simply that they shall “re-ad, write and
speak the English or Hawaiian lan-
guage.” .
No change is made in the qualifica—
tions for voters for senators.
The provision in regard to the regis-
tration Of Hawaiian vessels was chan-
ged to read as follows:
“That ,all vessels carrying Hawaiian
registers on August 12, 1898, shall be
entitled to be regismred as American
vessels, with all benefits and privi—
leges appertaining thereto.”

CURREN 1" COMMENT.
Officers of the Government have been
obliged to eject 85,000 sheep from Yo-
semite Park. To teach the owners
who have so little regard for Govern.-
ment property a lesson the animals
should have been confiscated. Noth4
ing but a loss in cash will make some
persons realize the proprieties.
According to the agricultural papers
the farm products of the United States
this year will be worth at least $1,000,-
000,000 more than in 1895. The balance
of trade in favor of this country dur—
ing the past two years reaches the
same amount. This nation could carry
on a tolerably expensive war out of
its annual. profits alone.
There is a great deal of talk about
the suffrage in the Louisiana Consti-
but one of the
state papers tells the delegates that
the man who will devote his energies
to measures for the relief of the maim-
ed confederate Soldiers, and the other
man who will labor to further the
cause of education will be the true
heroes, and will be largest and most
gratefully remembered by the people
of the Pelican State.
If battle—ships are to be faster and
to have an Increased steaming radius.
they must be larger. The speed of
Cervera’s ships was due to the fact
that they were protected rather than
armored. But battle-ships must be
completely encased in heavy armor.
and to be swift the size of the engines
must be considerably enlarged. Such
vessels will require deep harbors and
immense docking facilities. All of
these conditions can and will be met
in the future American pavy, but the
problem is not as simple as might be
supposed.
Advices from Honolulu show that
the annexation of Hawaii has. at-
tracted to the islands a host of new-
comers-most of them persons of
small means—who might better have
remained at home. While the terri<
tdry undoubtedly offers many attrac-
tive opportunities for business men
commanding large capital, it has very
few, if any, for those lacking money
and influence. Hawaii is by no means
a new country. It is already well de-
veloped; its resources are under the
control of men who settled there long
ago, and the person who gees out ex-
pecting to make his fortune without
taking a reasonable amount of capi-
tal along with him is bound to be dis-
appointed.
A new device, by which every'can~
non may be made a dynamite gun,
has been brought forward, and the
inventor shows some strong testimo-
nials of its efficiency. Various plans
for doing this have been published in
the past. and all have failed in prac-
tice; but with the American genius
for invention. the finding of a success-
ful device is only a question of time,
and 'it may have come now. If so.
every vessel. may become a Vesuvius.
and the difficulty they find in reducing
land batteries, as noted at Santiago.
will disappear. Still, the danger in
carrying large quantities of: dynamite
without destroying the vessel that con-
tains them will remain to be solved.
Congressman Eddy. of Minnesota.
was, some years ago, a “cruiser,” or
timber expert in the ‘Visconsin piner-
ies. and he still has a fondness for the
Joseph’s coat of many brilliant colors
which the lumbermen wear in the
woods to guard against being mista-
ken for a deer, a bear, or anything
else sportsmen are gunning for. Mr.
Eddy's smoking jacket, or house coat,
is the envy of all his neighbors and
rivals the brilliant jackets worn by
the members of the. Chinese legation.
It is not foreign, but peculiarly Amer-
ican, and a relic of his cruiser days.
when it was worn as a signal to hunt;
ers, and said as plainly as any Sign,
“I am a woodman, not a deer. Don’t
shooti" ’
In resources. agricultural and miner-
al, Cuba is one of the very richest isl-
ands in the world. But under oppres-
sive taxation and the-worst imagina-
ble administration the greater part of
the country remains an untamed, un-
used wilderness. The coming invasion
of American merchants and manufac-
turers will quickly change all that.
‘ There will be roads built—which is the
first necessity. The rude trails that
render the transport of goods almost
impossible will give place to thorough-
fares of medern. construction. Bridges
will safely span streams that now bar
the way to trade and intercourse. Rail-
roads and telegraph, built by American
energy and with American capital“
will lace the country. Its waste
places will be converted into fertile
fields. Way will be opened for the
' marketing of crops that it has not him-
erto been worth while to grow, and
minerals which it has been a needless
waste of toil to dig out of the ground.
Whatever may be decided as to the
political future ofCuba, its industrial
and commercial future will be direct-
’e.. by American enterprise and stimu-
lated with American capital.
This
next invasion will be benificent in
Cuba, enriching to us, and'gladdening
to the world at large.
