Tho competition of tho Atucrjcnns,, de
clared Lord Hamilton, "Is dnngerous be-
cniise they nre yearly 'improving their
products, both lu quality nnd price."
lie pointed out thnt chemical research,
tho touceiitratlou of, capital, thorough

dustrial organization have made in re
cent years 11 greater advance in Amor
len t tin 11 In Knglhnd. "It' Is -with, the
product of these combinations nud not
with the assumed stupidity of the Iu
dlan olllclnlH that the British engineer
lias to contend."
It Ih a wise movo- on the part of
Hrltlsh mnnufneturers to send repre
sentatives here to ntudy Amorlcnn busi
ness methods nnd they should derive
much practical benefit from It, bilt the
dltllculty with both tho British, manu
facturer nnd the British workman is
thnt they nre so wedded to old busi
ness methods thnt they ennnot enslly
throw them off. Therefore "tho process
of introducing the changes and reforms
needed to meet Ainerlcnu business ri
valry will be slow und meanwhile our
mnnufneturers will continue to Improve
their methods nnd also their products
In both quality nnd price. Thus lu
order to meet the American competition
the British manufacturers must follow
steadily tho lines of progress pursued bj
the Americans and it Is a question
whether those at present controlling
British industries can do this. Another
nnd not 'the leuBt important fact IrT tho'
situation Is, that tho nverago. American
workman is superior, ta. the- average

Friendly competition is desired by
American manufacturers nnd there is
no doubt that they can hold their own
In every fair contest for" trade with
England or any other Industrial tivul.
AO CAKX1VAL UF XlCtl.
Announcement is made that the
Omaha branch of the Humane society
has withdrawn its objections to the
Spanish bull fight-advertised tobc. held
In South Omaha during tho street-fair
lu July. In this connection we are ns
sured that the plans of tho fair associa
tion were thoroughly discussed.' with
Sheriff Power, the' mayor . of. .South
Omaha and the manager for the bull
fighters. The humor of this understand
ing will bo better appreciated 'When it
Is understood thnt "the opposition, to tho
bull-lighting feature of the fair Is with
drawn on condition that members of
tho numanc society ,wlll be afforded the
privilege of having representatives
present nt each of tho six or more lights
that have been arranged
What aro the people, who' have not
been tnken Into the confidence of tho
manager of the bull tights, tho sheriff
of Douglas county nud tho mayor of
South Omaha, to Infer from this? Aro
tho bulls to be dehorned before being
led Into tho arena? Will tho picador
attack tho animal wljh n feather duster
Instead of a lanco'v" Will the matador
use a toothpick lustead of a sharp
butcher knife? Will the whole exhibi
tion bo n sham designed to deceive Its
pntrous, or Is it to couio off as adver
tised, to the everlasting dlsgraco and
shamo of this community and In dell
unco of the laws of the stnte?
This brings us to the question whether
tho South Omnbn fair should receive
thu countenance ond support of' law
abiding people nnd especially of OtUcers
who are sworn to enforce the law. The
cxperleuce of Onmha with u street fair
certnlnly does not warrant a reproduc
tion. Tho Omaha fair was intended to
bo a midway show In a mild form; lu
stend It devcloed into tin offensive and
disgraceful commingling of tho toughs
of IsJth sexes with many respectable
people. Liberties were taken iu tho
public thoroughfares lu which this fair
wus held which would not huv been
tolerated at a New Orleans masked cur
nival or a Frcuch masked ball.
If such things could be done with
Impunity in Omaha, what may bo ex
pected In South Omaha? Is it not abso
lutely certain thnt this wilt afford un
opportunity to tho vicious nnd lawless
eloments to ply their vocations?
It Is a mutter of notorloty thnt tho
South Omaha saloon keepers Iibto been
bulldored Into putting up 50 "each to
ward this fair and that the gamblers of
South Omaha have also contributed lib
erally. How do theso people expect to
get their money back? Is it to be

Hie being withdrawn ns rnpldly as
possible, lit the French Chamber of
Deputies yesterday the minister of
foreign affairs announced that the
Fieileli troops will bo withdrawn nt
the earliest posslblo time. It Is the
expectation that by the end of the pros
cut month thu administration of l'ckln
will hnvo been transferred to thu Chi
nese olllclnls, who will fully resume, thu
affairs of government. It will not,
however, bu qultu as formerly. The
Imperial government will bu ru-estab

tl will return with thu knowledge that
the demands of thu powers for guar
anties of futnru peacu and of security
for foreign Interests must bu compiled
with and that only when this Is done
can It hnvo Its former freedom of ad
ministration. There will still, for u
time, bo 11 mcnstiru of foreign oversight
If not of practical control. But thu
entity of tho Chinese government re
mains and the Integrity of ItH terri
tory Is preserved, for which Inrgo credit
Is duo the United States. There Is lit
tle doubt that but for tho policy an
nounced by this government nnd
strictly ndhered to the situation lu
China would bu quite different and
possibly ulso thu relations of the
powers. The American view regarding
Indemnity failed of acceptance, but tho
more vital points of our policy tri
umphed, unquestionably to tho bcnellt
of nil thu nations concerned. There
aro still Important questions to bu set
tled, but there Is Involved In them none

The municipal elections lu Cuba, held
Inst week, embraced 1200 municipali
ties. Tho general resultb, which prob
ably will not bo known for several
days yet, will ninko It possiblu to form
a hotter Judgment of the future, since
In tho larger towns tho result will In
dicate something of populnr sentiment
In regard to thu paramount question of
an Independent government for the
Island. Dispatches of n few days ngo
stated thut thu municipal campaigns
have afforded some Interesting Illus
trations of Cuban character lu respect
to the conception of political duty and
also have shown how largo an clement
relies on American authority ns the
steadying force lu tho government of
tho Island. In some of the communities
party excitement was worked up to an
lntensu pitch, yet ou thu whole there
was no more bitterness than iu shown
in many of our municipal elections.
Curiously enough, it Is stated that gen
erally the radicals were the party
which Invoked the protection of Ameri
can military authority. At Santiago,
where tho factions were most bitter,
tho lenders of thu fuctlon violently, op
posed to .the. l'latt amendment ap
pealed for tho supervision of the mili
tary olllclnls.
Havana was carried by tho nationals,"
which had n majority over both the
republicans and thu union democrats,
and probably that party carried most
of thu. municipalities. What its atti
tude is ou the question of chief inter
est to the Cuban people does not ap
pear. Meanwhile tho commanding is
sue, that of future relations with tho
United States, is receiving quiet atten
tion, there having been as yet no ex-
presslous except of disappointment nt
our government's disapproval of the
action of tho Cuban convention on tho
rintt amendment. Thnt mutter will
again be considered by the convention,
but there is no intimation as to what
tho result may be."
It should not ,be necessary for Individ
ual property owners to flIo4formnl pro
test with the county board ugalnst
gross partiality of assessors, to use a
mild term, In favor of the great tax-
shlrklng corporations. The commission
ers ennnot fall to seo the glaring Ine
qualities of the ridiculously low valua
tions returned for certain corporate
holdings, and If they close their eyes to
palpable tax evasion they will be held
responsible as aiding nnd abetting. If
thu commissioners will courageously do
their full duty by raising tho assess
incuts to their proper piano they will
soon tench tho corporate tax-shirkers
that they have nothing to gain by tam
pering with assessors and prepare the
wuy for tax reform that really reforms.
Tho machinists' strike, which af

In all the discussion going on In tho

word Is uttered regarding principle.
Tho sole subject of argument is whether
or not fusion will afford tho surest
means of leading them back to tho of

was put Into cold storage several years

It Is to display their uaturnl bent to

SUNSATION AND SERMON.
Tciuiiornt nn Well nu Spiritual Topics

Brooklyn Eagle.
Bishop Leonard of Ohio has declared
against pulpit sensationalism. He says it
has become unfashionable In some places
to preach against sin and ho reprehends
"tho vulgarities that are advertised along
our city streets at tho church doors with
tho paint brush and brown wrapping pa
per," designed to catch tho "empty-headed,
the cllly cltlzons.t' He declares, moreover,
that people do not dealro politics, civic
questions, social themes, ethical theories
"doled out to them on Sundays by gentle
men who know but little of what they are
talking." Hero tb bishop may be wrong,
even In splto of tho llttlo qualification at
tho end of bis sentence. We do not, It it
true, profit much from the discourse of men
who do not know what tbey are talking
about, but the modern clergyman must
know what be Is talking about. He must
be a man and a. citizen as well as a word.
As to ethics, they Interost moro people to
day than do scriptural traditions, and after
centuries of preaching that had no purpose
oxcopt to explain tho bible and did ever a
book onduro such an amount of contradlc
tory explanation? tho people nro glad to
get down to somothlng tangible; to come
back to the moralities.
In decrying sensationalism tho bishop has
tho Indorsement of every right-thinking
man and nil women, for, needles to say,
they are right-thinking. Tho clergyman
who takes for his text the last exploit In
crime, tho last horror In yellow journalism,
the freshest ecaudal In BOclcty; tho clergy
man who gets up theatric or music ball
shows to Illustrate his discourse; the
clergyman who proaches with a partisan
bias, la a man who is always under suspi
cion of Insincerity. Ho seems to labor un
der a distrust of his own gifts, and to try
to supplement them with mattors of ex
traneous and dubious interest and value.
Sensationalism Is out of place In the pulpit,
as it ts out of plnco In tho school and In
tho press, and tho church that Is degraded
to It and by It Is but tho counterpart of tho
offensive newspaper.
But the church that never departs from
moro doctrine, that assembles every Sun
day to listen to discourses oa variations
In tho readings of texts that affect the
dally llfo and thought of mankind not
ono jot, that goes through set forms of
worship with never a variation corre
spondent to variation In tho fortunes In the
body politic, la a narrow church, and the
ond of It Is not far. It may Indicate a
weakness In humanity that It expects and
profers to hear the real and stirring facts
of llfo set forth with eloquenco and for a
moral purpose, but It Is a fact to reckon
with. It Is hard to conceive or concede the
success, spiritual or otherwise, of tho man
who, when a great war Is threatening, will
mount Into the pulpit and, under the old
fashioned thirdly and fourthly, Inquire
whether the fiftieth verse of the seventeenth
chapter of Ezoklel means what It seems to
mean, or can be teased and coaxed Into
meaning something different, but wholly In
consequent. Dogmatism Is out of date;
creeds arouse only Impatience; the pul'pl'
roust broaden, as the world broadens. Sen
sation, senttmentallsm, extravagance of any
sort, aro out of' place In a church, but the
living soul of man has moro than a single
mode of expression, and tbe church mutt
recognize that fact.
Western
Bt. IOiila
Secretary Hitchcock, who was with tho
president and his party on tho tour to the
Pacific const, reports that tho west Is un-
usually prosperous. Tho secretary's Judg-
ment Is undoubtedly correct. The weekly
tames or the bank clearances of tho cities
of tho country tell this story with a fre-
quency nnd a decisiveness which Is con-
elusive on this point. The reports of the
railroad earnings of tho lines which center
In Chicago, St. Louis nnd other points In
tho west add cmphnsls to tho story. New
records aro constantly being made In both
particulars.
Thero Is another Indication of tho pros-
porlty of the west which can bo cited,
Tho Immigration to the states nnd terri
tories between tho Mississippi nnd tho Pa
cific In tho last few months Is beyond any
thing of tho kind seen In many years.
This Is the report of all tho railroad com
panies, but particularly of those of the
moro northern lines. All through Minne
sota, tho Dakotas, Montana, Wyomlug,
Idaho, Washington and Oregon there Is a
rush of Immigration such as was hardly
surpassod In tho boom years of those com-
AS TO A.liI.O-8AOX JUSTIt'i:.
JuRtlco Brown's opinion: Great appre
hensions of danger nre felt by many emi
nent men a- fear lest an unrestrained pos
session of power on tho part of congress
may lend to unjust nnd oppressive legisla
tion In which the natural rights of terri
tories or their Inhabitants may bo engulfed
n a centralized despotism. Thcso fears,
however, find no justification In tho action
of congress In tho past century, nor in the
conduct of tho British Parliament toward
Its outlying possessions since tho Amer
ican revolution. Thero are cortnln
principles of naturnl Justice Inherent In the
Anglo-Saxon character which need no ex
pression in legislation or statutes to give
thorn effect or to secure dependencies
ngalnst legislation manifestly hoslllo to
their real Interests.
Guuornl Harrison In North American Re
view: It should bo nHked further whethor
tho rulo of tho uniformity of taxation Is
a part of tho "law of our civilization;" for,
without It, all property rights aro unpro
tected. The man whoso property may be
taxed arbitrarily, without regard to uni
formity within the tax district nnd without
any limitation as to the purposu for which
taxes may be levied, docs not own anything;
ho Is n tenant nt will. But If thcso sup
posed "laws of civilization" aro not en
forceable by tho courts, and rest wholly
for their sanction upon tho consciences of
presidents and congresses, then thero Is
a very wldo difference. Tho ono is owner
ship; tho other Is charity. Thn 0110 Is
frcodom; tho other slavery however
Just and kind tho master mny be. Our

nnce of these great rights that rested

Springfield (Mass.) Republican: Tho most
elementary rights of tho English pcoplo
were written In tho Great Charter, con
ceded by King John, and It wns necessary
so to write them In order that tho people
might not be crushed under tho absolutism
of kings. And bo the bill of rights after
the rovolutlon of 1688 confirmed in a
statute, or what was moro than equivalent
to a statute, the right of Parliament to
dlctato tho succession to tho crown of
England. Tho whole development of reli
gious toloratlon In Graat Britain Is a suc
cession of statutes and acts of legislation.
Go through tho history of U10 English,
BpeaKUlg race irom nunnyun-uu iu ma luw
ent day and you will nnd that Engnsumen
havo never entrusted their rights to the
action of principles "Inherent In the Anglo
Saxon character," needing "no expression
In legislation or statutes." And tho newest
English-speaking commonwealth. Australia
has followed tho example of our ancestors
In America by drawing up a written con
stltutlon under which tho simplest and
most elementary rights of Australians arc
guaranteed in black and white, and with
all tho precision tho language will allow.
Englishmen have never trusted even Eng
lishmen.

Tho report will not surprise tho United
