CHINA Is THINKING.
Bishop Fowler says She VIII Resent Oui
Attitude InMui,d Her peanIn

bisnop Fowler says >he VIII Resent Our
Attitude Toward Her People.
Rev. Charles ii. Fowler, u. D., of San
Francisco, bishop of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, who has Just completed
trip around the globe, in Chicago on Mon
day morning expressed the belief that ten
years hence America would pay for its
anti-Chinese laws with the blood of her
citizens.
He occupied the entire session of the
Methodist ministers onMonday in speak ing
about his observations of missionary work
abroad, the object of his trip being per-
sonally to inspect the workings of foreign
missions. In speaking of the law pro
hibiting the Chinese from coming to
America, Bishop Fowler said it was the
most dastardly and disgusting thing that
America ever did, land, " he said with a
slow emphasis which was very impressive:
II Will be paid for some day by the
blood OF some of Americas best men. He
thought every American should blush for
shame when he thought of the violation of
the treaty with China, whereby Chinese
were not permitted to land on our shores.
China Is not asleep" he said. "rhey
talk littlS but they think. In some of the
interior towns | met Chinese who would
surprise you by their knowledge. You
lowed landee in ChinaT they ask. Yes
replied. 'Chinamen no lowed landee in
Melica,' they reply. why you lowed
Gomez one man said to me one day me no
Cllstian, or me ssndde you way"
tell you they are thinking, and
trouble is brewing The greatest prince in
China said to me one day We are look
ing AFTER our home interests now. Ten
years will put China in shape as to her in
terror arrangements then we will look
after her outside interests They are max
ing great guns and ironclads, and are man
ning them. In ten years country with
one third of the inhabitants of the globe

trihing with her treaty"

Where Shall II Be!

The contest of the great cities for the
Worlds fair of 1892 Is getting interesting
and amusing. Chicago is terribly in
earnest about it, st. Louis pretends to
be, and New York refuses entirely to
listen to any suggestion that she shall
not have the fair. Her mayor writes to
all other mayors and to the governors of
states asking them TO communicate
promptly any wishes they may havein
the matter that New York can satisfy,
expressing no doubt at all that they
want New York to do the business.
Our mayor has had letter from the
New York mayor and is said to have
responded that Lancaster has an ardent
desire to see New York selected as the
site, and has no further wish or sugges-
tion at present, but will he ready to fol-
low along in the wake OF anything New
York wants to do.
Quite possibly Lancaster has this desire
We do not pretend TO deny it though
when the Of Washington commissioners
ma Chicago mayor come along with
their letters it may be necessary to take
the vote of the town for we suspect that
provinces may be made and inducements
offered that will make Lancaster turn
tall on New York. Her citizens are
chiefly concerned in getting good and
cheap accommodations to see the show ;
aud 1t Is possible that Chicago, with the
whole bOundless prairie at her back,
may offer house and lot rent free to
her visitors or that Washington, with
the government treasury behind il and
the vast expanse Of kill-deer lands
around about her, may do rs we'll And
- the railroads have great fondness
for charging no more for a long than a
short haul, II is also possible that they
may carry us to Chicago for as little
money as to New York i'm which case
We will have all the advantages of for
eign travel to throw in the Chicago
scale.
We think we do our fellow-citizens
only justice when we say that, notwith-
standing their general intelligence, they
are not above and beyond the possibly
enlightening and broadening influence
due to travel, and that, Notwithstanding
their general well to do ness, they
are not above taking advantage
Of every cheapness in situation that
confronts them. The cheapest and best
will always take their eye and COM
mand their vote; and we cannot saw
certainly where the town wants the ex-
position to be held until all the mayors
letters are in and the bids are opened.

At Lawrenceville, H., on Saturday after
noon. negro named Slick in "A quarrel
with white man, attacked him with a
knife. The white man escaped after receiy-
ing two wounds, and then Slick dashed
down the street, slashing at every one.
Judge Barnes, of the county court, stopped
and disarned the ruifian.
The blacks threatened 10 rescue him. A
few white men rallied around the Judge,
and after hard fight the negroes were
beaten back and four of the ringleaders
taken 10 the county Jail. The blacks subse-
quently made an attack ON the iail. The
sheriff was ordered to fire ON them but re-
fused and the negroes forced their way into
the jail and rescued the prisoners.
Judge Barnes organized the whites and
attacked the blacks at the Jail. There was a
bloody fight, in which pistols, knives and
clubs were used. Judge Barnes was cut and
shot, but his wounds are not fatal DIR.
Johnson, Ed. Lamb and three other white
men were seriously hurt. Two negroes
were shot and half hundred heads were
broken. The whites won, and the ring
leaders were again put in jail and heavy
guard placed around the building.

II is denied that the Empress Augusta,

In is denied that the Empress Augusta,
of Germany, has become Catholic The
denial comes from a man well acquainted
with the court. A famous humorist once
signed portrait, and wrote, This auto
graph may bo relied upou rs authentic, as
1t was written by one of Mr.. Squibob's
most intimate friends" Court etiquette
appears TO operate ON this principle, and it
can hardly be expected that the dowager
empress will speak for herself and relieve
the feverisb anxiety of fifty millions of
Americans as to whether she has become
anything or not. Great pains are taken to
cable to America tritling rumors about
members of the royal families. This is not
at all complimentary To the American
readers who should not care rap for the
little doings of unimportant people with
great titles.

The Weather.

And the rains still fall. The average
citizen has been of opinion for the last
six months of steady rain that every day
would bring a change and those
who did not predict dry spell
after the summers wet were few.
Al of which shows that we do not live
In an age of prophesy. The concentra-
ted efforts of the weather bureau to chal-
lenge this fact do but add confirmation
to II strong as proofs of holy writ and
u there is one thing Of which we may be
satisfied, it is that no one of this genera
ton knows ought of the weather that is
70 come.
Therefore we avs with resignation the
shining OF the sun, with a reasonable
expectation that when our sins are for
given US, we will see it. That it will be
this year We are not hopeful. The cy-
clone rises yet amid the West India
lands, they tell us, knowing that we are
too feeble to contradict il but wherefore
our own storm-ridden land should not
he charged with the birth as well as the
burial of the tornado, we do not know.
Let US he prepared for an early and
rough winter and if we get anything
! better, we can have joy accordingly.

Ex-soyERNoR HowARp, Of Rhode
Island, asserts that the abolition Of the
death penalty in Rhode Island forty years
ago has proved a good measure. Tho
penalty for murder In Rhode Island Is i'm.
prisonment for life. Should person inn
prisoned for life commit murder, he or
she could be hanged, but such an instance
has never occurred. I'm speedy trials
Rhode Island approaches nearer TO Eng
land than any other state. There is but
one appeal after trial by jury, and that Is
TO the full bench of the supreme court.
The governor cannot pardon. He may
suspend the execution OF sentence
until tho next meeting of the general
assembly. The pardoning power rests In
the state Senate and the governor recon-
mends. The recommendation is usually
not acted upon the day that IL is presented.
and partlons are seldom granted unless
most pardons simply amount to restora-
ton of citizenship afler the convict has
nearly fulfilled his sentence. Persons
under life sentence for murder generally
die in prison, but in a few instances they
have been released ON the verge of the
grave. AS "a rule they survive their SEN
tcnce but few years." The statistics as to
crimes of violence show the state TO be
exceptionally fortunate, and the common
impression that abandonment of the death
penalty is followed by an increase of crime
does not appear to be justified. The little
state gets along just as well without hang
ings, and escapes the danger of hanging tho
wrong man and the brutalizing effect Of
gallows scenes.

That seems strange proceeding upon
~ part Of the Camden prosecuting
olJlcen, which permitted Chalkley lie
Co0ey TO take his niece's body to Ohio
and which sends after him charge Of
hurtier and constables to fetch him
home though they say they suspected
him before he went away. And they
seem to have little else than their suspi-
cl0ns now as q foundation for their
improbable accusation which appears
10 have as its authority the statements
Of the negro who was working with
Farmer lie Coney in the melon field at
the time Of the discovery of the murder,
for committing which fellow negro of
bad character, who was to have worked
along with them that morning, was
promptly arrested. The circumstantial
evidence against this negro, HON his fel-
low probably desires to aid, by accusing
the farmer, is very strong, and the de-
sire 60 fasten the crime on the farmer
will hardly succeed. Yet it is threat
ening one and illustrates the dangers
which constantly surround innocence,
and shows what gross wrong is done in
the name of the law.
Here respectable citizen, who has his
heart strings torn by the cruel murder
of his niece and daily companion, is ar
rested at her funeral in far off country
and brought back in manacles To defend
. charge of numbering her, which is
made against all the probabilities of the
case and seemingly with no other provo
cation than the desire TO get negro Jail
birds neck out Of the Moose. Farmer
lie Coney seems to have had pair Of
these worthless in his employ and the
clear moral to I've drawn from the tale,
not only Of the murder Of the niece
but also of the accusation of the uncle,
Is to give employment to no men of bai
character. Keep aloof from them in
all your pursuits where II is possible.
You are thrown often enough into such
company by the force of circumstances
beyond control but certainly you can
say who shall dwell i'm your house and
work in your fields and shops and there
h no need there to associate with men of
bad character, TO be subject TO damage
from their evil hands and tongues.

NIw fishing banks have been discovered
near Iceland. The importance of this little
item OF news that comes from the port OF
Gloucester from the captain OF the fishing
schooner Landsecr is not generally recog-
nzed. The discovery of new fishing
bank is an event of very great commercial
importance, and as 1t may affect the price
of a staple article of food should
be Of general interest. II IL not
many years since fishing banks: before
undreamt of were discovered in the Allan
tic due west of Morocco. and the result was
q sudden change in the values of the old
fisheries The new fishing banks are off
the north coast of Iceland. and being above
the winter ice belt, and in waters that
usually have drift ice even in summer,
fishing there will be eextremelydifiicult and
dangerous work. Fishermen are not often
discouraged by hardships, however, and we
may hear Of big fleet on the way to these
far northern grounds next spring.
The grounds, by the way, are some fifty
fathoms deep, the bank being fourteen
miles long and five miles wide, with very
deep water all around II. When fishing on
the bank near the coast of Iceland, Captain
Marshall was astonished to find his COM
pass working very strangely. II may be
that ores of value as well as fish, can be
brought from that Arctic coast.

needed to produce these choice
slabs The combined weight
of all the slabs is only very

tons upon tons were quarried

no flimsy gilt, no base metal
with mere outside polish.
These pieces take their place
in the Art Furniture of the

held for delivery when wanted.
