Chang Chintung, the Great, Viceroy
of Canton, has sent a memorial to the EN-
peror of the Celestial Kingdom, where
in is an indictment OF kerosene oil, set
ting forth the terrible ravages of this
product of the Occident. The Vicer9y
gives q list of its gruesome deeds, de-
claring that the deadly oil, which seems
like the fame breathing devastating dra-
CONS OF old, has devoured q steamer with
eight hundred souls; that four hundred
houses in Swallow have fallen prey to
its rapacity, and, that one thousand
families and ten million dollars worth
of property in Canton alone have served
as pastime for the destroying monster
The Viceroy sets forth that petroleum
is responsible for ninc-tenths of the
fires in the latter city, and that it has
destroyed the native industry in colza-
bean and peanut oils. Its work is more
deadly than the somniferous poppy; and,
although the inland dues have been
raised almost to prohibitive degree,
the monsters vitality is nnimpaired
Hence the prayer to the Lord of the
Vermilion Pencil to prohibit the i'm
portation OF kerosene. AS America has
laid an embargo upon Chinese labor,
China will stop the trade ia kerosene
oil. The Viceroy adds 1.-THE law that
nations have right to protect their own
interests aud prevent injury being done
to their people applies to both countries
alike, il there be any justice; and when
either Government acts on this principle
no objection can be raised by the other. F"

very slight Alderman Donnelly will be

New York is really a foreign city.
The registration this year shows that it
has naturalized voting population OF
about $50, 600, while the native voters
barely reach 10000. And when it is
remembered that the great mass Of this
naturalized vote is ignorant and clannish,
with the loosest notions OF the obliga-
tions they owe to the government, II ia
scarcely to be wondered at that the City
gives such an enormous Democratic
majority.

The author of the Mills bill in his
speeches appeals to farmers to demand
free trade, and with its advent escape in
large measure the payment of taxes to
which they are now subjected. On the
other hand Mr.. George advocates the
same free trade as the first step toward
the success Of his pet theory of centering

The Republican substitute for the
Mills tariff bill was reported to the
Senate from the Finance Committee on
Wednesday. According to the estimates
made by the Committee the bill pro-
vides for total reduction of about $75, :
600. 200, made up approximately as fol-
lows Sugar, 1927, 759. 900; free list 6, $780,
600 tobacco Gnternal revenue), $24,-
500,0 alcohol in the arts, $1,000, 900;
other red uctions in customs, $4,000, 900.
In theory it is simple and ineligible.
It removes all of the internal revenue
taxes about which there will be no dis.
pute among good men and friends OF
Protection. 1t increases the free list by
adding articles not produced or but
lightly produced in this country. 1t
makes the large reduction on sugar as
the most direct, palpable and general
relief to the people. And with refer.
ence to the great body of manufactured
articles, in very many cases it leaves the
duty unchanged in some it makes a
small reduction where it is believed that
it can be borne in few it raises the
duty little where justice seemed to re-
quire it the general purpose evidently
being TO remove any inoongruities that
may exist and to adjust the tariff to the
present conditions of production and
trade.

A match at this game was played on
the association grounds last Monday,
between the base ball nine, with @. A.
Davis and DIR. P. McGilI as bowlers
and team selected by j. Mullineaux.
Several Of the balls players were absent,
and their places were filed by junior
cricketers. The game began with Nc
Gill and Scott Thorne at the wickets
against the bowling of Kerr and Coombe.
Eleven runs were scored before a separa.
ton was effected, but then there was
stop to ssrun-getting" as four more
wickets fell for the same total. JEWELS
A, Purcell's 8, and singles made up
the total of %. To most it seemed an
easy task for the ingoing team to beat
this small score, but it proved task
which they were unable to accomplish.
The hop .step-and- jump delivery of Da-
Wis was ''too PECULIAR and the innings
was over for 16; Mullineaux, with 4,
leading the score. In the second inning
of the ball time, McGiii and Tom Thorns
each contributed 7 to total of S3.
With Al to make to win, the cricketers
went to the wickets for their second in
ming, Frank and Tollie Wilmot being
the batsmen. The latter, with the score
at 5, fell victim to Jewell at mid wick
ct, while the former played very care
full inning, securing ''the hit" and the
s'top scoren of the match. Four wickets
were down for 16 runs, and the game
was intensely exciting. Both bowlers
were we'll in the wlckets and runs came
slowly, Black with 6, and Botterill with
4, made it six wickets down for 28.

Kerr joined Coombe, who was playing
carefully, and sharp running was the
order of the hour. With the score a
