What Will China Do 2

The presidents special message on the
exclusion of Chinese laborers from this
country sets forth certain features of the
situation very clearly.
But, if we count upon the cooperation of
the Chinese government, we are likely to be
disappointed. The Chinese authorities have
all along pretended to assent to our policy
of exclusion, but they have never taken an
active steps to aid us.
[ The probability is that China will now go
to work to get even with us. She will
abolish the Burlingame treaty and deny our
merchants, travellers and missionaries in her
borders the protection heretofore accorded
to them.
We have deliberately decided to exclude
the Chinese, and we must accept the con-
quences. 1t is putting it mildly to say
that American interests in China will be
mperiled-sooner or later they will be de-
stroyed.
And yet it may be that complete non-in-
tercourse with China is preferable to the
immigration of her swarming millions, with
their strange gods and their strange devils.
AT any rate, We are in a fair way to try the
experiment

On The Wrong Side.

Many man within the past few days has
read of the fortunes made in the great
wheat speculation, and bewailed his lack of
judgment In not going into it.
But suppose we take look at it from an
other standpoint. The other day wretched
man with very blue face stood in New
York bucket shop looking at an empty
pocket book. A few days before he had
been happy man with $125 in the bank
earned by hard work at the carpenter 8
bench. He had denied himself and his
family many comfort in order to save this
money for rainy day. He caught the
wheat fever, drew his money, and walked
into the bucket shop.
The result was just what might have been
expected. The poor carpenter knew moth
Ing about speculation, and he got on the
wrong side. He sold September wheat
against old Hutch in Chicago, and in less
time than it would take.to repeat the multi
plication table, his little fortune was swept
away.
1t was impossible to see this man and not
pity him. When he asked the manager of
the bucket shop to loan him five dollars to
help him along until he got a job, the spec
ulator could not refuse. He handed over
the money upon the condition that the car
penter would never enter a bucket shop
again.
This little incident shows up the wheat
corner in a new light

A Convict at Eleven.

The youngest convict in the United
States.
Dan Jordan is his name, eleven is his
age, Tennessee is his state, and larceny is his
offense, he having stolen five dollars, for
which he will spend three years in the state
pententiary.
This is wrong. The penitentiary is not
the proper place for boy of such tender
years, particularly one guilty of no worse
offense than that charged against little Dan.
The dispatches state that on the first night
of his confinement he was not locked in a
solitary cell, but was allowed to sleep on a
blanket by the stove, where he sobbed him
self to sleep. The tears shed were not those
of hardened criminal, but they came from
the heart of one too tender in years to be
taken from the holy influences which might
have saved him.
The future of the little convict is dark.
After service of three years among crimi-
nails he will leave the penitentiary no more
reformed than when he entered it, On the
other hand, he may be more ready to commit
crime, and his next offense may be a worse
one. The little fellow should have been
sent to a reformatory school, or should have
been subjected to some milder form of pun
ishment than that which he is now under
going,

long to the same class of women ought to
make 1t easy to discover the criminal. His
plan would be to manufacture victims for
the murderer. That is, he would tempt him
by scattering say fifty women over the
Whiteehapel district, with large force of
disguised policemen concealed at convenient
points where they could see everything. In
