Sales OF the public roads were he'll this
week in the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth
and Ninth districts, under the regulations
of the new law. AS was expected, the hid
ders were higher in their figures than three
years ago, though n number of roads were
taken at about what was paid for them
during the past three years. These were
generally sections that had been in charge
of conscientious supervisors, who lad ex-
pended the money they received in work
on the roads. The strict provisions of the
new law seemed to be clearly understood
everywhere, and those to whom contracts
were awarded are reliable men, whom the
commissioners are certain will do their
duty. The roads in the First, Second and
Third districts will be sold next week.
The day of the town election is rapidly
approaching, and the citizens of Elkton
who desire to see order and dacency en-
forced, and drunkenness and street Draw
ling upon the Sabbath as well as week
days suppressed should interest themselves
in the selection oI an officer. One Of our
Oldest and host respectable citizens was
insHited by drunken man On the public
street on last Sunday afternoon, ana much
rowdyism prevailed on High street late
that evening, yet 10 arrests were made. and
no attempt at an arrest was made We
need a man as bailiff who will introduce all
these street rowdys to the acquaintance of
the sheriff, and it is our opinion that in Mr..
George T. King, this kind of an officer may
be found. We suggest this to the thought
full consideration of our citizens.

His Interest In Politics by no Means
Diminished.


AUSTIN, Jan. Governor Rob erts
dropped down from the university to-day
and spent a couple OF hours among the pol.

old gentleman Is looking well and feeling
male and hearty. Hts step Is as firm and

Alb ough there has been 80 m uch writ.
ten upon the subject OF the Franco Chinese
muddie, 1t " cate to say that comparatively
few persons could dtiiue accurately the re-
lations OF China with her PROVINCES. Chin
holds practically position in eastern Asia
Europe aud the Levant. The Chinese,
like the Ottomans, were a race Of
fierce. malt barbarous, indOmita BILE
fighters, who conquered many different
nations. As long NJ their martial habits
were cultivated China's supremacy was un.
questioned among her dependent: but
gradually luxury and eensuality bred efiem
macy and the conquered people grew res
tive.
At the present time the Chinese Empire
consists first OF China proper, Of which
Pekin is the capital. On the extreme east
lies the peninsulsr of Cores. On the south
IL AMMAN, the northern province OF which
-Tonquin-is the field OF the present con.
nc. with the French. East OF AM am
lie Siam and Burmsh; while Thibet
Ksshgar and Iii, with other smaller
provinces, are distributed through Central
Asia as far west as YarkarJ. Nomipally
all these countries are under the ON inion
of the emperor OF China, and Tor many
years they actually paid yearly tribute to
MIN, and showed other signs OF depend
ence. But his power mas perceptibly fallen
away. Within the present generation he
has lost Corea aud Burmah. Tue former
continues To call him sovereign, but the
title thus bestowed is merely comp l.
mentary. The Coresns particularly enjoy
independence. Burmahs allegiance bes also
become shadowy. The rich Loo Choo is-
LANDS only five or six years ago, passed out
OF the hands of China. Previous TO that time
the ruler OF those islands had always done
homage to the Chinese emperor; now he
receives his investiture from the Mikndo
OF Japan, and although the Chinese
resented the loss at the time, they nave
never cared to go 10 war with japan TO
recover Loo Oh %. In Thibit and Nepaul
their sovereignty is also in jeopardy. Eng
land does not disguise her pun pose OF get
ting control OF the latter, ana circumstances
might arise making il desirable for Thibit
also to be added to the vast Indian posses
sion OF the English.
The Chinese are therefore lighting against
the establishment OF a precedent which
will hasten the dissolution OF their empire,
when they resist the encroachment of the
French in TonQuin. But the tendency of
the present age is towards the disintegra.
ton of efiete powers, and the Capitalization
OF people according 10 nationalities, and
althosgh the fall of the Chinese supremacy
in Asia, like that of the Turks along The
Mediterranean and in Asia Minor, may be
slow, IL seems now to be inevitable.
