An American m ssionary has given TO
the world Of America a most graphic and
startling account of western China, re-
gion of which even well-lnfOrmed poop lie

of Buddhistic worship is Mount Cmei,
and he remained there Il month studying
all the marvcls around him, examining
the trades OF the people, no in2 heir lives
and the influence Of Bod !hism upon them,
visiting the romantic p aces in the ne gh-
borhoOd, wandering among the deep
gorges OF the mounta ms and particularly
that through which he Nang-tse forces
its fOaming way, and taking copious notes
of the various art objects which remain
TO testify to-day of nobler epoch rurec
faith and grander civilization. Some of
these wonders must lie better worth seeing
than the pyramids of Egypt. lie describes
an entire temple Of fine hard bronze of
great antiquity and many colossal statues
of bron e, one Of which is as large as the
monstrous one at Nara in Japan. Thcy
all are CT SalSyamunl, hut the japanese
type of the god is different from these in
western China. There are also mountains
chiselled into the forms of idols, but these
are not Buddhistic, relating to Tartar
Shintooism, and not unlike the immense
rock idols In Afghanistan.

Some eastern journals are load in their
demands for reform in the method Of

such a system were to be ado ted the peo-

and in a close vote the way wouR be clear
for any amount of fraud and manipulation.
Let the electoral system stand until some

RIGHT TO FIX RATES..

Judge Brewer Upholds the Iowa Law.
But Says Rates Must He Reasonable.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, July N.-About
three weeks ago the Northwestern Rail
road Company applied to Judge Brewer,
of the Eighth circuit, for an in INJUNCTION to,
restrain the railroad commissioners of.
Iowa from enforcing schedule of trans
portation rates, which it has made under
the authority Of the Legislature, on the
grounds that the rates were 50 low that
they would bankrupt the road, and tha.
schedule was. illegal because the Legis--
lature could not delegate its power. A
temporary injunction was granted and
an explanatory hearing was had in
this city. Judge Brewer has made a
decision which continues the temporary
injunction. In discussing the matter he
considered three questions namely, the
legality Of suit against the commissions
ers, the right Of Legislature to delegate
power to make q schedule and the right of
the State to fix railroad tariffs.
He decides that an action on such casa
Is this Is not strictly an action against tha
State and can be maintained. He thinks
that the State may delegate such power to
railroad commissioners. At least he holds
that State courts have held that the dele
cation of such power is constitutional. He
maintains that while the State has the
right to Ak railroad rates it must make
them reasonable, that is, high enough to
naaintain the roads, pay h4ed charges and
q return to the stockholders, however
small. ..5
The question not yet being settled that
the rates Of the commissioners are reason
able in the sense that Judge Brewer used
the word, the injunction is continued for
further hearing On that point. It is ex-
pected that sixty days at least viii be 70
Quired to furnish such testimony.
