The Presidents message with respect
to the massacre OF Chinese on the Pacific
coast and the destruction Of their property
does not appear to give entire satisIac-
ton in all parts of the country. Some
Of the leading journals think that he
| ought 20 have taken stronger ground in
favor Of making some sort Of reparaticn
! for the injuries inflicted on the Chinese.
The President did all be could under
the circumstances. He gave Congress
what information he had with respect TO
the outrages, and also pointed out that
although the Chinese Minister had init
mated that China would expect some sort
OF indemnity for the injuries and losses
that had been inflicted upon her people.
there was no law Of any kind, either
treaty or international, which gave
China any claim ON this country. The
President indicated pretty strongly, how.
ever, that Congress ought to do some
thing for the sufferers. What more could
he dog
There is no doubt that It will he wise
thing for Congress to do to make provis-
ion for the damages and wrongs suffered
by the Chinese on the Pacific coast at the
hands Of the mob. II is only just that il
should. IL is true that this country has
nothing 10 fear from China because that
government 10 too weak 10 enforce her
claims, but II there lie a denial Of justice

discontinue trade relations with us, but

were treated AZ Rock Springs aud Seattle.
We might, Of course, compel China 70
make roparation for injuries Of that kind,
but we should hardly feel like doing 50 II
We deny the claim that China il now max

outrages.

Rum AND OIL
Trom "a PANaaelpAia NJ.

From tie PhkadelDbia Meas.
"Let me have little butter, please" said a
stout elderly gentleman, VINO stood in front
Of fhe Morton House bar the other evening,
with glass Of steaming hot rum before him.
The white apr0ned bartender bent down
and from a shelf underneath the polished ma
hogany brought up dish OF butter, IN which
was stuck silver knife. With this the man
broke OF lum p of butter and dropped 1t into
/ HE glass and stirred 1t about until II was
melted. Then he drank the cencoction slow
y, with an oily smile overspreadng his
"Yes. it is rather a curious drink" said the
bartender TO the reporter standing by. But
IT'S very pleasant drink. and great favorite
with some gentlemen Those who don't know
Of its effeots however, had better leave II
alone, Tor the Effects are apt to be queer. The
man who drinks a number OF these hot runs
would De quite sober when ne went home, but
IN Ile morning when he woke up he would De
as drunk as a lord. That's odd, isn't it, But
it's easy enough to explain. It's because there
is SO much oil in the butter.
Let nae explain, aud you can try IL your
self. Take n bottle OF sweet oil with you
when you 20 out with the boys next time.
Order any kind OF liquor you like. though
wouldn't bother much with beer II I were
you. Put int your glass few drops OF the
sweet oil every time you take drink. No mat
ter how much you drink, you WI II keep sober.

you, will be in = very 'hoW-came you-so' con-
dltlon. You 20 home and go to bed feeling all
right, aud in the morning when you wax: up
you will be dead drunk. The reason is sim
pie. OIL, as you must know, rises to the sur
face.
Consequently when you drink these oil Gov
cred corrections, the oil viii remain on the
surface in your stomach, keeping the fumes of
the liquor down. That prevents you from
getting drunk. When you have stopped
drinking and gone to sleep, thus giving YOUR
interior arrangements chance to so about
their ordinary duties, the oil will gradually
evaporate itself through the system, allowing
the fumes OF the liquor to rise to your head.
The consequence is you awake in the morn
ing full" It's the funniest thing in the world
when man has this experience for the first
time. He can't understand IL at all. neither
can his wife, who has seen him 90 to he'd So
Der he night before, and can't be persuaded
that he has not got up during the eerly hours
to take on the load he apparently has with
him. Butter has the same effect as sweet oil,
because 1t contains a large percentage OF mat
mud In Its composition, 50 / advise you to

Not in Business with Jacob sharp.

Not ia Business with Jacob Sharp.
An attempt was made to connect the
Secretary of the Navy, Mr.. Whitney, with
the Jacob Sharp Broadway Surface rail-
way business in New York city, which is
now being investigated by a legislative
/ committee. OF course, no one vine knows
/ Mr. Whitney for a moment believed that
/ he had permitted himself TO become IN
/ Yolved in any transaction that WAS in any
way disreputable, but his friends were
rather anxious that he should make
public statement about the matter, be-
cause Of the tendency TO believe i'll Of
almost any man on very slight grounds,
however great his reputation for honesty
and honorable conduct may be.
MIR. Whitney has written letter to the
chairman of the investigating committee
in which he states frankly aud clearly
what his connection with the Broadway
Surface railway franchise business was.
He is a member Of company which
wanted 20 secure the franchise by fair
and honorable means. His company pro-
posed that it should be sold at auction to
the highest bidder, and when the Board Of
Aldermen adopted a resolution granting
it to Jacob Sharp the company protested
so vigorously that the Board was COM
! PEELED to resclnd it's action. The company a
second time fought the Board when it again
granted the franchise to jacob Sharp for
100000. Mr.. Whltney's company also,
in connection with Philadelphia capital
lists, undertook TO secure a lease of the
Broadway Surface road and failed to
do SO.
From the statements in his letter it is
! apparent that the conduct Of Mr.. Whitney
in connection with the Broadway Surface
railway has been lrreproachable. II he
were to be called before the investigating
committee there would be no such halt
ing, stammering, and confusing answers
as characterized the testimony Of some of
the witnesses. He would answer like a
man who has clear conscience and moth
ing to conceal.
IL would have been exceedingly CRAFTY
Ing, doubtless, to the Republican journals
to have found Mr.. Whitney Interested
with Jacob Sharp in the Broadway
Surface railway matter. II they had
discovered him in such company they
would have done their best to terminate
his career as Secretary Of the Navy. They
have not kindly feeling tor him because
OF the way he put an end to the monopoly
that John Roach had of the government
ship building business. They will not
catch Mr.. Whitney going wrong. His
training and his natural inclinations
-, ~ - 1918
it is not improbable that he thinks that
the Democracy may need him for Presi-
Dental candidate, and he is not likely to
blot his record for the sake of making a
little money.

In one of the first towns in which | spoke

lngs. and was told by the committee at the
conclusion of my last address that thew had
no funds in the treasury aud did not like TO
take up collection. but that if / would come
again and give three more lectures l would be
lOerally paid. / consented and shortly after
ward began my other course Of three lectures.
At the termination Of the second one a gen
tleman arose and said that as Mr.. Cough had
not been paid on the occasion of his previous
Visit o that town. he suggested that collec-
uon be taken up for the purpose of remuner-
ating him.
Il object to collections" said another gen
teman; "but II we must have one let it be to-
morrow night, when we will all come pre-
pared"
The third evening was verv rainy and a
collection amounting to 81 20 was C. ken up
A gentleman near the table remarked when
the money was counted: 1.-The amount is very
small. l do not mind making it up TO 81 out
OF my own pocket, for the lab0rer is worthy
OF his hire" and he very emphatically laid
down two silver dimes. ! refused to take 81
for six days work, during which nv person al
expenses had been IS, and departed. The
next day received from three LIQUOR sellers
