Rta# Talrott, a Brava American MI**ionary Tb# Bplcadid Tribute tft a Chin***# Naval Ofleer—Christianity Helped by Good Work* Rather Than Words. Id conversations I have h:vl with T Clmn, the young Chinese nav.tl mTUssr who was in charge cf the torjiuo fleet at Wei-Hal-Wei, and was captured, and has since resided in Japan, be spoke in the highest terms of the Jiliss Talrott whose hospital and missionary work has been referred to in a former letter. At my request be prepared a testimonial to her, which I give herewith. I learned from him that Miss Takott is a lady of nearly <50 years of age. She perform* her arduous, patient work in an nuoetentatious way. fefce keeps away from missionary crowds and conventions ip order to avoid notoriety. She never talks for publication or refers to her antecedents Her friends m New England will be plea-ed to learn that'she is highly appreciated here. She enjoys universal respec'. and it is conceded that no woman ever labored in this missionary field with such good results as Miss Talcott has obtained, ^he performs her work nnder the auspices of the American board. She has been here a‘ number of years and the probabilities are that she will end her days here. The following is the tribute tf> her noble character, written by the ex-prisoner: ( “In the early part of February, 1895. a few days after I reached Hiroshima, two Chinese officers from the Japanese hospital came, by order, to stay with us in ogr place of confinement. They were prisoners from King-Chow, a city about 40 mil® northeast cf Port Arthur. One of these officers was wounded in the thigh, and the other in the arm. They had been in the hospital about three mouths And were well pleased with’ the treat ment they received. The Japanese doctors and nurses had been very kind in every way possible, so these officers •poke of them with gratitude. “But louder still were the praises of these officers over a certain foreign lady, whose kindness and acts of love bad made a deep impression on them, as well as tire other Chinese * prisoners. They related her gifts of cundy, oranges and other tokens of sympathy, and although they could not converse with her yet. they knew by her looks and behavior that she had g*eut interest in them. She had given to the Chinese officers aud men portions cf the New Testament, which were read by those who were able to dp so, for many of the soldiers could not read. The officers said they beard Christianity was a perverse doctrine, but they will never say in the future anoth

w wuni iuraiuM u, lur nr a? uirr uau judge, its object was kindness and benevolence, m well illustrated bj the acts of tins lady. They said no amount of preach tug could have produced such effect as the simple hearted loTe of this lady. Their hearts were quite melted by her loving gentleness. I was quite surprised to bear this from such men. whose conservatism was proverbial, but even the most stubborn hearts seem to yield to the piercing rays of Christian love and benevolence. Their conversation so constantly drifted to her goodness that mv curiosity was quite aroused to know who she was. I asked the Jap^ aaeee interpreter to find ont this lady and beg her to pall on ns. bat be said the Japanese authorities were very strict gbout outsiders calling on prisoners of war. However, this lady did call one day. without oor begging, but wqs rented entrance, as she had no permit Our curiosity drove us to the board fiance, through which we peeped to get a glimpse of this good angel As she receded slowly with a disappointed heart, bar yearning and anxious souls followed hsr till she ywisbed entirely out of eight Never did thirsty crops pine mere for pleasant rain than we did to see her. “In March the Rev. Mr. Loomis, in his second call upon p, was accompanied by four ladies. Among these was Mias TaJouct, the lady whose famous kindness mid benevolence we beard so much about. Her very face was sunlight, beaming with Christian lore. Her countenance was aglow with an inward dehgot and seemed ever ready to soothe ar, the sorrowful and Jbro. ....

we could not fathom .or understand. Our friends hpd not given an exaggeratedacconut her Mildness charity, (nr we ourselves had the rare opportunity to share these and appreciate their divine effects. Before they left the Jadies sang ‘The Bock of Ages/ which moved our hearts deeply. The Rev. Mr. Loomis offered prayers, and when' he asked God's blessing upon China my tears rolled out involuntarily. “The second visit we had from Miss Talcott was in April, when the Rev. Mr. Allchin of Osaka came a Isa They brought a large box of oranges and presented me with a book called 'Jesus and the People. * She asked about our progress in Bible reading and showed a thorough interesl in us bodily j^d spiritually. \ “In Osaka many prisoners brought from Hiroshima remembered Miss Talcott with grateful hearts. Altogether the imi&ession she made was deep and pleasant. Her work among them was short,' but impressive, and I make bold to say that she conld have brought to the fyld many a scapegoat >'ere she given the time and opportunity. As it was, I am sure she had done much good. Chinamen are reluctant to acknowledse

the superiority of anything foreign, specially Christianity. Although none of them embraced Christianity, yet their prejudice was disarmed and wrong impressions dispelled. They had seen a glimpse of light, glorious beyond any former conceptions. They freely acknowledged among themselves that Christianity had nothing vile about it, but, on the contrary, had high, holy and noble object* in riew. They will never speak another derogatory word against it "They also spoke of kind missionaries in Korea, where they did much good i among the wounded. Many missionaries in japan had called on them and showed warm sympathy and interest. I have never heard tberii speak of any missionaries bnt in terms of the greatest respect and reverence. The general opinioh was that no class of people can be so good as trne Christians. ‘It is good and noble, but how can we attain such virtues?’ was their cry of downhearted admiration. The prison'ers’ words were sincere, for they had no other motives in their loud praises but respect and admiration. I am tempted to draw an inference from ray observation!, that, notwithstanding the obstacles of language, true Christian behavior will manifest itself, and that, no matter bow ignorant a people may be, they can appreciate true Christian worth. ‘Let your light so shine before men that they may see your works and glorify yuur Father which is in heaven.’” . , This well educated and highly interesting young Chinaman will not be likely to return to China unless some decided political change takes place thera j The probabilities are that he will give ; ,np his naval career and enter the missionary fi*'l«L There is aim a probability that he may even uallygoto the United States and endeavor to gain a livelihood by teaching ami writing. At present he seems to be aifxkm§ to have the world forget him—that portion at least designated on the map as.China.—-John A. Cockeiill in Yokohama Letter \o New York Herald.

! PARTY MALIGNITY. SENATOR SHERMAN'S WILLFUL MISSTATEMENTS. ■ ^ " I His Chaq^i That tb« Fttanebl Troabl*?* 4*9 Dw to the Wilson BUI Disproved. ’ Secretary Foster’s Fraudulent Boukkeept las Exposed—silbct of the McKinley Law. 1 In bis address in the senate in support of his resolution introduced a few days ago relative to the gold reserve | Senator Sherman criticised the administration for using the gold reserve to | make up the deficit in revenues and : charged that the present financial trouI bles of the nation were due entirely to : the deficiency in the revenues caused by the Wilson bill, says the Kansas City : Times. ’ It is hardly worth while to thrash over this old straw, especia lly since the true facts are sure to be brought out in the campaign next fall so conspicuously and authoritatively that even he who runs may read and know the truth. But it is hard to let slanderous misrepresentation and partisan falsehood go unchallenged for even a brief period, particularly when the scene of the action is in each a high place as the United States senate and the author a member of that bod/,, bolding a position before his fellow men of so exalted a character and so sacred a trust as, one would naturally suppose, would lift him far above the ordinary failings of humanity, if not above ^he ex parte statements of k partisan. And of all others old John Sherman, sometimes derisively styled Honest John, in mocking memory of some of the more conspicuous episodes of a shady character that have marked his long legislative career, has proved the most unblushing and malignant falsifier. His speech in the senate might well serve as a owning effort on his part, both in the direction of falsehood and shame

lessness. The all sufficient answer to Sherman’s statement that all the financial troubles of the nation have been produced by deficits in revenues arising from the Wilson bill is that these troubles began before the Wilson bill was ever thought of and before the Harrison administration was driven from power: In proof of this Mr. Dockery of Missouri showed the other day in congress that the McKinley law—so prohibitory in its nature that it absolutely shut out the imports on which it was designed to collect reveuue duties—had produced a deficit of over $42,000,000 by the fall of 1*93. and he held up to public view the original order of Secretary of the Treasury Foster to the bureau of engraving to prepare the plates for an issue of bonds. That order is a piece of evidence that cannot be gainsaid or dis puted. It tells volumes in a very few words. It is eloquent of an empty treasury and an insufficient revenue law to fill the aching void. But when the Republicans were beaten in the elect ion of that fall Secretary Foster rescinded his order for the issuance of bonds, and by a skillful manipulation of the treasury receipts and reserve funds and a still more reprehensible cooking of accounts he contrived to postpone the evil day until the 4th of March, when the Democratic administration came into power. And then the storm broke. Within a month after the hew secretary of the treasury assumed office be exposed the fraudulent character of Mr. Fester’s bookkeeping and made a true and honest exhibit of the condition of the treasury. Has any one forgotten in this brief lapse of time how earnestly the question was debited in the beginning of Cleveland’s present term, as to the propriety of calling an extra session of congress to remedy the deficiencies of the treas

ory aim as to toy nature oi uie rerneuy that was needed? And does Senator Sherman hope to blind the whole American people to the fact that over a year before the Wilson bill became a law or was presented in congress nearly every chamber of commerce, board of trade and other commercial body in-the Unit- j ed States passed resolutions declaring j that the Sherman purchasing act was j the cause of the financial trouble and j requesting President Cleveland to call j an extra, session of congress to repeal it? j Whether the Sherman act was the true : cause or not, the fact remains that the ; Wilson bill could not have been, for the i appeal of the business bodies of the j country proved that the trouble existed j in the spring of 1893, not only 18 j months before the Wilson bill was pass- : ed. but long before any democratic law ; had passed. ’ ~ 4It mast not be forgotten that the panic off 1893 occurred while the Repub- j lican legislation was still in effect, especially the McKinley law and the Slier - man purchasing act, and long before a j single Democratic measure had been : touched with a pen. The repeal of the Sherman act re- < stored public confidence fur awhile, but soon thereafter the tariff bill added its share to the general feeling of doubt and uncertainty, just as every change in the tariff has done since the United States became a nation, except the low tariff bill of 4846, which was long heralded and gradually put into effect. But, be that as it may. this is true that Senator Sherman utters a willful and deliberate falsehood when be states that Secretary Carlisle has used the gold reserve to pay np the deficiencies in the j revenue, and he utters another partisan ; and chronologically impossible state- i mentwben he says that the Wilscp bill, passed in August. 1894. was responsible for the nation's financial troubles, which culminated in the panic of 1893.

HOME MARI IE' HUMBUG. What High TariA E *v-:: Done to Sato the Price «f Vilrntf. The Mimieapoli1 ribune bids fair after a few more ef arts to go to the head of the class n iriff instruction, says the St. Paul C lo e. We have seldom found a pupl ;o make so much progress in the con -se jf a single lesson. The Tribune starte 1 out a few days ago by publishing, _ w ti approving comment, an interview in which it was stated that our wheat r users cannot compete with the poorly pa) ji labor of Russia and India, and that a restoration of high tariff is the only thing that can save them. The Globe having called its attention pa the fact ibat a tariff on wheat or any other agricultural product of which pre product more than we consume could not iiffectt its price, The Tribune now admi cs shat the competition which fixes tie jirice of American wheat is measured by the Liverpool market and so can lot toe directly affected by any duty on imparts at alL This is excellent as far is it goes, and a pnore rapid advance in (he common sense of economics than th j high tariff proselyte is accustomed to riae. The Tribune is now probably read y for its second les- | sou. ft says: “Give this Conner; a symmetrical and adequate protective tariff, and in time our manufacturer) nd manufacturing population would so increase that substantially all the w leat raised in the United States would be consume*} at home. The home market would then fix the price, and it would not be fi*ed in Liverpool by the c leap labor pi the Russian peasant and the Indian ryot. ” So The Tribune goes back to that dear, delightful ok} humbug, the “borne market” theory Obliged to confess that a tariff on wheat could not affect its price directly, it has nothing left bn&lo ; retreat to the home market base of supplies. It will find that position no more tenable than the other. |f this country did not have aj“symmetrical and adequate protective tariff” daring the 30 years after the war, when the Republican party had its own way about legislation, how can it ever get one? It certainly did have, in all that time, an excessively high protective tariff tending to steady increase. If the home marker theory means anything at all, we ought to have seen some results from it for this period. What are they? Wheat has fallen steadily in market price from the beginning to the end, until.9witb the culmination of Republican high tariff Legislation, it was worth in the market about one-fifth of what it was shortly after the close of the war. A DIFFERENT REED.

The Audacious An tor rat of SI* Tear* Ac* Ha* Lost His Force. Mr. Reed suffers seriously now from the lack of that qua .ity which made- hiiu so powerful six years ago. Then he wq* bold to the verge t i rashness, and defiantof all opposition iq the party tanks. His very audacity made him irresistible, apd Republican representatives who did not agree with him had to support him,; however much against their will. Put now he is hampered by his presidential ambition, and his consequent unwillingness to ran the risk of offending mem bers who may control the choice of delegates from their districts tp the Republican national convention. He wants suppor t from the states that believe in greenbacks and free silver coinage as well as from these that a^e outspoken for sound money. Moreover, he knows that McKinley and Harrison have friends and supporters on the Republican side of the bouse who would like to see him tripped up, and he therefore feels that he must piok hisSvay with great caution. The effect of-all this is that the Thomas B. Reed of 1895-6 is a very different personality from the Thomas B. Reed of 1889-90, and the indications are that he will be a much less forceful speaker during this session than he was six years ago, without, however, making up for his losses from this source by an accession of popular confidence on the ground of his conservatism.—New T£ork Post. * j McKInlejlsm May Beat Them. Mr. McKinley says of the Dingley bill to increase taxation : “I think the measure the best which could have been devised as a distinctly emergency measure. The report of Chairman Dingley was a complete explanation Of the situation as outlined by the president. The measure will be in force ou^fy a year and a half, and when the Republicans come into power they can pass a protective tariff bill”' If Mr. McKinley and his friends will keep repeating their threats to re-enact the international infamy called the McKinley tariff, the people may decide never again to allow the Republicans to come into power.—Louisville Post, * . „ j

Syme Fact*. The fact ought to be photographed that the present government deficit hi i revenues began in the Harrison administration and under the McKinley hill The other companion picture is that Harrison's secretary of the treasury, Foster, gave the first order for the issue of bonds to meet the deficit, but when ho found that the Democrats bad won the fight be managed to postpone the evil day until the Democratic administration ~ame into power. Don’t let these facts escape your memory.—Kansas City Timet. Shepherd Lawrence, in a Jett of to the Woolgrowprs ’ association, denounces the Dingley tariff hill in nmneasured terms. “Inadequate protection,” be ■ays. “is no better than free wooL ” He admits also that the McKinley act was a failure in the matter of protecting woolyuwera. l*o*7 ot Fata.
