the Chinamen fear that they would never

that China would become second India and

the foreigner they go without the railroad

The reports which the Chicago Tribune
has collected from various parts of the State
relative TO the working of the Harper liquor
law show that 1t is universally popular, and
that the disposition everywhere. with one or
two exceptions, is about uniform rate of
$500 or more and to make no discrimination
in favor of beer saloons. The reason for
this is that experience has proved that saloons
which sell beer alone do not pay, and conse-
quently discriminating license encourages
fraud whereby the community is cheated of
its lawful revenue and great injustice is
done to the honest Iquor-sellers who take
out the higher license.

The newsboJs in Detroit are threatening
to get up riot. About two weeks ago sew
eral little girls appeared on the street corners
selling papers. The boys laughed at them
at first, but when they discovered they sold
more papers and got bigger prices than even
the favorite boys, they changed their tune.
Threats were made against them, bat the
factory boys took the girls side, and prom
ised to clean out the whole lot Of newsboys
if they laid finger on the girls. The boys
then appealed to the proprietors of the pa
pers for protection, bat found the sympathy
was all on the other side. Now they have
concluded the best thing they can do is to
get up a riot and burn RAILROAD bridge or
something that would be of no use to them
nor any use to the girls. Newsboys in De-
troit are licensed, and the city attorney has
decided that girl cannot be newsboy,
consequently cannot get license. They are
selling without any, and no one has yet been
found mean enough to bring action against
them.
