The announcement that the Chinese Empire will be) @ represented at the forthcoming St. Louis Exposition not by its Minister at Washington but by a Special Envoy @hould serve to cali attention to an enterprise which {| not sufficiently recognized in New York. | It is a sober statement to assert that the Louisiana | Purchase Exposition will be by far the most magnificent exposition in history. It will be the most costly, the varie tractive, | ¢ most extensive, the most varied, the most attracti 12 sty operas, papal” 1nbe Johnny eales and it Is only justice to the ability of its management to gay that it promises to be the most successful. Enough has already been done to justify all of these claims. The co-operation of all foreign nations has been given so promptly and so generously and on such a scale that their displays will be something that the world has never yet seen; the special features and at- tractions arranged for by the management offer a pro- gramme of universal interest; the buildings surpass {n magnificence, costliness and number those of the Chi- cago Exposition; its site is unrivalled and nothing has been omitted that could add to its completeness. While intended to celebrate the Louisiana purchase it will also serve to illustrate the recent growth and present greatness of this country; it will be a triumph of American enterprise of which every one will be proud, which every one ought to know about and which every one ought to see. THE M’AULIFFE CASE DECISION. We shall never know who killed McAuliffe; it will forever remain uncertain whose nightstick battered his face beyond recognition or who cast him into the street helpless and dying or what the exact circumstances were of the murder, Through police negligence and suppres- Bion links are lacking in the chain of evidence that would have disclosed the identity of the murderer. But the moral certainty that the luckless man was done to death in the station-house is made stronger and clearer | ‘ by Justice Mayer's decision ‘on the evidence before him.” To this cell only police officers had access—there was the opportunity. The man in {t had testifted to facts casting odium on the force—there was the motive. Next morning McAuliffe’s mangled body was found on the Sixth avenue pavement—there was the deed. The evi- dence of circumstances in a murmer case is not usually stronger than in this and the facts that have forced their way into publicity have seemed convincingly in- criminating. The Jaw is unable at this late day to point to any individual member of the force and say, “Thou art the man;" but in public estimation the reproach of the crime will ever attach to the department and the “system” that mado it possible. MANSLAUGHTER ON THE RAIL. The railroads of this country are making a bad rec- ord for manslaughter by mismanagement. The Xenia (Ohio) horror of yesterday was clearly due to gross carelessness and incompetence. On the same day, near Zanesville, a derailment killed one passenger and 9O9O9SO2O SPOSOOOSHGOFOES PE OOOO HSOE-2-0 = : é simply awful.

At Binghamton a Lehigh passenger train ran into a washout, severely shaking up the passengers, but, fortunately, without loss of life. For each one of these accidents there is no other explanation except carelessness and incompetence, which should be punishable. Absolute safety 1s not unattain- able. The passenger who pays for his ride has a right to know that there is not the slightest risk of his losing his life. In England, with its tremendous ratflroad travel, not a single life has been lost in the last year. THE BATTLE OF SAN FRANCISCO, Perhaps if Mrs. Fitz had been present to counsel her husband to “soak him in the slate, Bob,” the result might bave been different. A word in time fitly spoken avails much, But the word was not sald, and the jolt in the jaw by Jeffries, a ten-inch-gun of a blow, did the deed. “Fitz went down and was counted out.” It was probably the finishing touch of his career of successful pugilism. A man of forty has not the staying powers the had, Jeffries at twenty-seven can draw larger drafts on ‘his vitality and have them honored by an {m- mediate response. The eight rounds of fierce fighting which Fitzsim- mons put up were creditable to this “vigorous old man, as he calls himself, “past his fortieth year and hale and hearty.” But at the moment when his strength was approaching exhaustion hia opponent was rallying for the real work of the contest, We mray agree with Jeffries that “Fitz is a wonder.” For a man of his years! he put up a great fight and the battle of San Francisco will long remain memorable in the annals of the.prize ring. THE VISITING ALDERMEN, A delegation of Chicago Aldermen 1s mingling with us in our midst and seeing the sights of the metropolis, noctural and diurnal, under the effictent escort of a com- mittee of our own City Fathers, We are glad they are here and in such good hands, There are few more com- Petent guides for the sights they wish to see than the Philosophers and friends who have them in cha May their presence bring propitious skies.

JAPANESE AS SERVANTS. In Chicago alone there are about thirty young Japanese men who are working as serv (cooks and house- men) with a view to obtaining an edu cation, says the Chicago Tribune. ‘Shey come to this country for the purpose o: entering a university and working their way through college. Not all of them are able to find suitable accommoda- tions, and they turn to housework with a view to saving their money until they get enough to start them in school. The Wages of a Japanese servant run from $3 to $7 a week, and out of this several of them are able every year to lay by A suMicient sum to start them on the way to an education. These are in the minority, however, for most of theny struggle along for a year or two trying to save mo.ey and finally give up the {dea of an education and continue to work. ——$—<—=—_—- THEN THE REAPING.
