The Chinese -minister to the Unittd
States, Wu Ting Fang, says, that the
world needs a universal language, and
lie intimates that the English, with
some few variations and modifications,
would meet that want. "It is spoken
in the streets of Shanghai as well as in
'those of Hong Kong," he remarks. "It
is taught in the schools of Yokohama
as well as in those of Singapore. Chi
nese, Japanese, Germans, Russians and
Frenthnien alike use it in their busi
ness offices, in their clubs and in their
family circles. In short, it may be
called the commercial language of the
Orient. Signs point to its ultimate
adoption as an international tongue."
. Wu Ting Fang is not die. first foreign
er of intelligence and prominence who
ha made prediction of the eventual
supremacy of the English tongue. Ger
man and French philologists many de
cides ago talked on this subject in the
same strain a the Chinese minister
docs now, but they could not give
quite so many reasons for the faith
that wa in them as rhis close observ
er can furnish. It is known to every
one who has followed up the discus
sion of this question of a world's lan
guage that the number of persons us
ing English as a mother tongue lias
increased marvelously in the past 100
or joa years. At the beginning of the
present century only about 20.000,000
IKOple spoke rhi$ language, while to
day it is used by ijo.ooo.ooo. A century
ago French was spoken by more per
sons than, English. Two centuries
ago it ;was generally supposed that
French w-u!d eventually be the univer
sal languagel It had a vogue "at that
time nch as no other two languages
could command.-" i I
Frolicking with her baby makes one of

. PRISON REFORM.
There is a liale paper published
monthly at the Oregon ; State Peni
tentiary, called rne .rmon .Mission
ary." It is published by Prisoner No
2409. 'V'e find in the current number
of the paper the 'following:
: "The Frederickstown tree fress in
a recent ise says:
"Prison labor and some form ' of
legislation tor the relief of discharged
prisoners is being much agitated at the
present timet As is the case at pres
entj a large amount of tfce work done
by prisoners is put upon the market at
so cheap a price as- to affect the labor
or ts:de. -
:A prisoner s family is in most
cases supported by -some charitable or-
eauizat;on or by onvate parties, mis
ought hot to be. The" prisoner ought
to receive the average wages 0 out
sid labor engaged in the same nroduc
tion. ,.. - ;
"i'The wages ishould first. go to pay
lor his own clothes and board- Then
i there is any surplus, and there ought
to be, it sfoould go to the support of
hisi helpless wife and children outside
thei prison. Simply because fie is
criminal is no reason for his not sup
porting hjs family. Then again some
sort of legislation ought to he enacted
whereby a discharged prisoner can get
a hew start in life. As it is now he is
discharged wifh a poor suit of clothes
and $5- 'How long will this last him?
In ia short time true is re-arrestetr for
vasfrancy or suspicion ; and probably
returned to prison to go through the
a-ine process again. There ought to
be Komc enactment whereby an appro
priation for the relief of prisoners who
haye f:ent three, hve, ten or ? more
yeairs in prison on some contract from
whjch the state derives large revenue.
Of! course rhe prisoner should be made
to earn all these amounts and in this
way tlney mark given a start in life
and be able to make themselves a ben
efit to their community.
This is putting the matter a little
strong. It would be most ton much
for' the state to support, the prisoner's
family while he is confined. But a
system of paying the prisoners a small
amount daily for their work, or cred
iting them for their tasks, and charg
ing them for their clothing, board.
careless work,aetc, etc. whidh system
has been adopted by some of the best
prisons in the East l(notably the El-
mira, New - York, Reformatory), has
worked well. Jt gives the provident
and well behaved prisoners each a
small sum of money on leaving the in
stitution. Jt teaches them thrift and
economy while confined. i
It is the duty of the state to provide
n some way for discharged pisoners.
It lis nothing more than right. It is in
the interest of economy, in the long
run. The, constitution of Oregon de
clares (Sec. 15 Art. I.) that, "Laws
for the punishment of crime shall be
founded on the principles of reforma
tion, and not vindictive justice."
The laws governing the- Oregon pen
itentiary violate the spirit of the con
stitution. They provide for "vindic
tive justice, and there is no "princi
ple of reformation" adhered to at all.
Oregon should live up to its constitu-,
tion. This- state should get jin line
with he older commonwealths' in their
efforts to reform men convicted - of
crime, and not drive them further into
criminal habits and thoughts, as at
present. We should have the paTole
system, and indeterminate sentences,
and efforts dairmg penal servitude to
train and teach the -unfortunates and
direct them, towards fives nff law abid
ing usefulness, -f-
THE BO E RS AN D AM ER I CA N
POLITICS.
By all that ts reasonable, don't; let
us get to quarreling among, ourseilves
about other people's affairs. The 1 at
tempt to mix the South African wir
witii mericarr pontics is muaiy cnar
acterized as impertient. It is properly
subject of political discussion in Eng
land, for it involves questions of gov
ernmental policy that public opinion
must ultimately decide. The English,
while rightly united, for the time be-
ng, in desiring the success of British
arms, are by no means agreed, in
their judgment either upon- the i acts
that preceded the war. or upore what
should follow' it. But we have 'j not
to decide these questions and in the
fight between Britons and Boers we
are happily rot "called on to take sides.
To the calm -observer this is a war
that seems to justify the attitude of
the i woman ' in the story in the fight
between her husband and, the bear.
Whether one's sympathies lean to
ward the Britons or the Boers must
depend largely upon personal temper
ament, and affiliations. Theoretically,
of course, we all sympathize with a
republic that is supposed to be bat
tling bravely for its Judependience.
When we come to learn something of
what' this so-called republic is, in
which a majority of the white inhabit
ants, wTio furnished nearly all the rev
enue," not only are excluded from any
representation in the state but ore not
even protected in person or property
by the small group of mediaeval peas
ants who constitute the government,
our theoretical sympathies very mate
rially' cool. "..". V . .: '-; '-
There are a good many parallels in
the history of the Transvaal and , of
Utah. The Mormons, feeling ; them
selves persecuted, went out into the
wilderness to found an independent
state. They were a brave, frugal, in
dustrious and devoted people, and all
they asked was to be let aloneThey
adopted every possible means, proper
or improper to keep out the Gentiles,
and to suppress their influence But
they could not, and it became nec
essary to send an army among them
to compel them to let : the 'Gentiles
alone. The Boers made their great

of slavery and the treatment of the
natives; that their ' troubles with the
British began and were for a long time
maintained. Later came the influx- of
Otttlanders into their territory and the
agitation- for political rights that led to
the present rupture.' 'British official
blunders and crimes may even up the
moral account, but they cannot make
the cairse of Boer civilization one that
appeals strongly to the spirit of Amer
ican liberty.
Of cotirse the professional Anglo-
phebe finds this a fitting occasion to
abuse perfidious Albion, and no doubt
antipathy to England has much more
to do with expressions of sympathy
with the Boers than any consideration
of their merits or demerits. Everybody
is free to think and feel and sympathize
as he will, but public agitation on the
one side invites counteragitation until
we" find ourselves foolishly embroiled
in matters that need not concern us,
except as intelligent citizens of the
world, j In our politics certainly it v is
still essential, as Washington ob
served,; "that permanent,, inveterate an
tipathies against particular nations and
passionate attachments for others
should be excluded," since the nation
that indulges them "is in some degree
a slave."

PADEREWISKI'S OPINION.
' In my opinion, says Paderewski . in
Harper's Bazar, every child should, be
taught the piano. I know that it is
considered an open question 1 nowadays
as to whether it is worth white for ' a
child to study music unless it shows
special aptitude in that direction.. It is
not now unusual to find young women
in society totally ignorant of the piano;
bnt, to my mind, general culture de
mands that every civilized person
should be acquainted with all the man
ifestations of culture. The only Way
ta comprehend art is t. have some
knowledge of art. As the piano is the
best instrument to show all species of
music, every child should study it,
