NEW YORK, April 20. - Hong Gan
Chuopg, Chinese journalist of San Fran;
ciscoyis here looking over the grolRH
with q view to starting q weekly Cnilsse
newspaper, to bs the organ of the Chinese
on this side of the Rocky mounssips. He
went to several places downtown to-day
with An interpreter to price some OF the
modern printing presses. He Ssw some
Of the $50, 1000 presses, but concluded that
it would hardly pay to begin SO extsava-
gsntly, especially when the subscription
list started with only three ffst-clsss FAN
tan shops and one barber. The paper is
to be entirely independent OF politics,
Christian or hesthen. It will be sort Of
laundrymen's journal, and is TO be sold
at 10 cents per copy. Mr.. Editor Horg
was finally told that he could turn out his
paper by much cheaper method than the
Hoe presses-by the photographic process.
He was referred to some of the lstter es-
tablisnments. When he has made salts.
factory arrangements with regard to the
process Of the papers production he viii

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS.

Not long since the New York sun pub
lished q most interesting, not to esJ
touching, article concerning new order
Of Christian service called "The Kings
Daughters" founded in that city year
before last. SDce it's publication, as
might have been expected, so numerous
have been the inquiries and interests inst

Daughters and adopting the motto Of the
sisterhood, "In His Eame," ID that the
member is willing ~ recognize and serve
for good any other woman or girl, stranger
or friend. or comply with any reasonable
request made by her when made SIN His
Name" Although the society combines
the shop girl as well as the women CT
wealth and fashion, members Ia oil cir
cumstszces Of life recognizing and aiding
each other, there is very little authority
Ia tbs order. They are all
children OF one household, acknoRl-
edging allegiance only to one COMMON
father. The president, Mrs. Bottcme, is,
however, the spiritual inspiration at the
deliberations OF the central council; the
writer of many letters oihelp snd advice
to general branches Of the order; tie elo-
quent and magnetic teacher Of her sisters
in the Kings household, and from her
earnest and busy life Of good deeds ems
mates spirit Of sctive beneYolence which
permeates the whole society. The aim
aspresent Is organizing, rsther than In
sreasing, the membership, though a
hearty welcome is extended to all sincere
Christian workers who desire to enter the
service OF the King. Tough very con-
servstive in principle, there is nothing
secret about the Organization, and the
cslton OF It's leaders against the
publicity OF the press grows out Of 8
fear that the popularity and pictur-
pie Of sentiment rather than spirituality

counter in the person Of tired and worn

organization would require too much
space. Summed up, It is to practice help
fuluess, loyalty, devotion, human sister,
hood. Already 1900 women and girls
are enrolled, aud we predict II will soon
permeate every part OF the country. An
order SO exalted aud noble deserves the
most hearty ercoursgement.

three wears old when he died, and has

The case OF Mr.. Chamberlain Of South.

patton OF hydrophobia, 10 familiar to the
readers OF THE GAZETTE. A friend, Dr..
Spohp, accompanied him, aud full Sc
counts have been published Of their trip
across the Atlantic and arrival in Paris,
where they spent about two weeks. l.
is gratifying to learn tast the treatment

Chamberlain ssiled for New York. By

his home in Texas. His return, and IN
der such gratifying circumstances, will no
doubt ettIac! much more attention in this
country to the Pasteur system, which
has gained such great repuse in Paris and
indeed throughout continental Europe,
for there are several Pasteur institutes in
Europe and also in South America and
Cuba. 1t is said that DR.. Spohn will cone
back to Texas equipped with facilities for
introducing the treatment here, snd 1t Is
to be hoped the repor. is true. 1t is
rather strange tina. in the lsrger cities OF
the United States, in New York, II not
elsewhere, the P4stear system has not
been introduced ere now. It has proven
80 emiaentIy successful in France and
Europe that 1t would seem American
medical men ought not to hesitate about
adopting 1t. Pastuer does not exact trib-
ute in the use Of his great invention. On
the contrary he invites and begs the world
to er Joy its benefits. l. Is for the good
of humanity and he would bs glad to see

ANEW WAYOUT OLA DIFFICULT Y

ANEW WAYOUT OLA DIFFICULTY
There are Democrats VINO contend
that the next state platform ought to be
silent on the subject of prohibition.
'Let the dead past rest" say they, edo
not stir up strife" There are Demo
Gratis who contend that heart OF oak
plank must go into the platform, declsr-
ing prohibition un.Democrstlc. "t we
do not make declaration on this mat
ter" say they, SIT will be nrebrand
every two years. As long as there Is q
Prohibition party In the Add with Its
tickets, state and national, Democracy
must maintain hostility to the principle
of prohibition. II is 6 question OF felf-
preservation" Here are two distinct
propositions or views Of the question,
and ranged on one side or the other are
all the Democrats in Texas. Numer-
ic.lly considered one side Is nearly as
strong as the other. 1t doee not matter
which is the strongest. Sufnce 1t
TO say that the party Is near
ly evenly divided. There will have TO
be concessions on each side if mu-
tually satisfactory adjustment is reached.
An adjustment that compels one wing to
make all the concessions Is simply no ed-
justment st ell, for il will leave naugh.
but resentment snd wrargling on the weak
er side. AS matter Of practical politics
it will be almost impossible to ignore the
prohibition question in the August con-
vention. The twelfth plank was placed
in the platform Of 1886. Il was psrty
declaration aud remsins such until 1t is
repealed. Even Il it be ignored that does
not change the situation. Democrats who
voted for prohibition last Year do not ask
or expect the twelfth plank to be retained
but they are opposed to the heart OF Oak
suggestion az a substitute. Democrats who
voted against prohibition last yeal
will not be content with ignoring the
twelfth plank. As an hon.
orable and practicable solution Of the
difficulty that confronts each side, how
would Judge Robinson's plank dor This
WAS teleg-aphed to The GAZETTE a day
or two ago from Austin. It read IS fol-
lows: "Thst we accept and adopt, as q
final settlement OF the prohibition ques-
ton the verdict pronounced by the eople
at the election on the 4th day Of August
LAST, and deem it unnecessary to add any
further expression Of Democratic princi-
ple." 1t occurs to TEE GAZETTE that
George Clark, on the one hand, and Tom
Bonner on the other, might be satisfied
with such en- adjustment as this. 1t &C.
ours to THE GAZETTE, too, that the more
the rank and file, whether "pro" or "anti''
last year, Of the Democracy, think over
the matter, the more disposed will they
be to meet on platform like this. If the
politicians on both sides are wise they
will take counsel of the rank and 1le and
make up their minds that an adjustment
must be resched. This is not the year to
have divided Democracy in Texas-one
wing arrogant and domineering, the other
sullen and dissatisfied.

A NORTHERN Republican Journal says
"What the Republican party needs more
than anything else Is young blood. Its
past record is glorious enough, but II
cannot Iced on this forever. It must Sc:
It's face toward the future. It needs
fresh blood. and if it fails to recognize
this at the state convention to-day, In the
resolutions and speeches, it will make q
grave mistake" Yes, the Republican
party needs fresh blood. 1t thrived and
fattened upon blood shed In internecine
strife, and in peace 1t is dead party, q
useless party. Strife and blood are Its
nourishment, and without these 1t has
sickened and Is dying.

accounting for the frequency OF womsn

nately, the murderer Of woman comes
to receive q large amount Of strong
sympathy from other women, to get from
them testimony calculated to relieve him
from punishment, and to enjoy distinc-
ton of which he would be deprived if ais
