PROBABLY MISTAKEN.
Bishop Thoburn of the Metho
dist Episcopal church gives, as
his deliberate opinion, that this
country will be overrun, in a few
years, by swarms of Oriental
peoples.
Ihe Bishop, it is generally
known, has been engaged in mis
sionary work, chiefly in the Ori
ent, for upward of fifty years,
and is i- garded as a high author
ity concerning the character,
ambitions and methods of the
Orientals. He does not speak as
an alarmist. On the contrary
he thinks no t tiger threatens
this country for there is plenty
of labor here for all who come.
Whether they are a peril to us or
not. depends upon ourselves, he
believes. "We must either lift
them up or they will carry us
down," he says.
Strange enough, the Bishop
finds nothing denoting a fixed
purpose and unity of action on
part of these races to swarm to
ana overrun this country. All
those he conversed with said they
were here on their own volition
and simply seeking their own
betterment. This induced the
good Bishop to look in another
direction for an explanation of
the phenomenon. He says: "A
new era has dawned and God is
to send the benighted of other
lands to this country for uplift
ing." It is to be hoped the Bishop is
mistaken. Surely he must be.
We had the Indians to begin
with; the Negroes then came;
then lollowed the Chinese and
the Filipinos all heathens to
say nothing of a mighty host of
benighted Christians we have
imported' from the continent and
southern Europe. We have a
big job of uplifting on our hands
at present and would take it
most unkindly if God should un
load swarms of benighted Orient
als upon us just now. In fact
we do not believe God will com
mit any such an egregious blund
er. He probably sees we have
made a sorry mess of the up
lifting business already entrust
ed to us and will wait until we
"make good" before giving: an
additional and large supply of
raw material to work up.
It is true we have made a
good many "good Indians" and
a few good Negroes, but they
have usually died in the process,
and the survivors have not been
much benefitted by our attempts
to uplift these races.
We are skeptical as to whether
or not God will set the seal Of
His approval on our work along
this line by giving uy greater
opportunities to practice our
peculiar methods of uplifting and
christianizing the benighted al
ready within our borders.
Bishop Thoburn must be mis
taken. We might sooner believe
that if God contemplates sending
swarms of Hindus here it is for
the purpose of uplifting us rais
ing us out of the mire of selfish
ness, commercialism, self-righteousness,
bigotry and inconsis
tcrcy in which these astute
people see us wallowing while
asking them to cast away their
heathen and accept our christian
religion.
Aiany of these come here, and
many more will doubtless follow,
from time to time. They come
to observe our life, our social,
industrial and political life and
institutions- They are looking
forward to nationality for them
selves. If we have anything
w hich they may adopt and which
will help them to realize their
purpose of nationality they will
lay hold of it. They will return
to India and propagate their in
formation and conclusions among
their people and will establish
their own nationality. i -
' This much we have learned
from some of t ie brightest and
most astute of those Hindus ai
ready here. From other sources
we learn thatthe English autnor
ities in India see and recognize
the purpose of the most intelli
gent Hindus and admit it is a
movement for nationality.
Good Bishop Thoburn, engross
ed for long years in working
directly for the advancement of
the Master's cause, sees only the
secondary movement and fails to
notice the real movement which
may more correctly be regarded
as directed of God.
His theology teaches that while
men are usually absorbed in
secondary causes God in direct
ing the chief cause.
RIGHT CONCLUSIONS.
The tariff gives no man or
set of men any advantage what
ever over any other man or set
of men engaged in the same
business: Therefore the tariff
is not "class legislation."
Standard Oil, mergers, pools
and combinations formed by
transportation companies do not
receive any benefit from protect
ive tariff legislation. Such mo
nopolies, trusts and combinations
abound in countries having no
protective tariff law: Therefore
it is not true that "protection is
the mother of trufts. "
It is true that protection has
always been attended by general
prosperity and free-trade or
tariff-for-revenue-only legislation
has always been closely followed
by depression, panic, disaster and
wide-spread distress: Therefore
experience bids us cling to pro
tection. The Republican party is the
only party favoring the prinr iple
of protection: Therefore all pro
tectionists should support the
tariff laws formulated by that
party.
The principle of prote- Ion
must be preserved: Therefore
when tariff revision is under
taken it must be under direction
of the friends of protection.
Those who deny these conclu
sions are free-traders and tanff-for-revenue
men whatever else
they may claim to be.

Discoverer of "the Shot Tower. I
1 A mechanic named Watts of Bris- j
tol, England, used to make shot by !
pounding out bars of lead into J
sheetsof the required, thicmess ana
then cutting the sheets into little
cubes, which he rolled in a barrel
until the corners were worn off by
the friction. One night he dreamed
that he was out when it' began to
rain shot, little balls of lead falling
all about him. He remembered his
dream the next morning and won
dered what shape molten lead would
take if allowed to fall some distance
through the air. To determine this
he carried a ladleful of the metal
up to the top of a church tower and
dropped it into the moat below.
Going down, he took from the shal
low water several handfuls of per
fect shot. Thus came to him the
idea of the shot tower.
Eggs That Jump.
Tour friends will be mystified
completely if you do this trick very
carefully.
Take a number of eggs: remove
the yolks and whites so that only J
the shells remain.
To each of these shells paste one
end of a strand of fine silk, attach
THE THICK KXP.LAINKD.
the other end to one of your fingers.
Then place them in a shallow bas
ket. In doing the trick be sure that
your audience are far enough away
to be unable to see the silk threads.
Now say that you will be able to
make the eggs leap into the air by
magnetizing them with your fingers.
Of course, 11 you move a finger
upward and downward, the shell at
