WHEN the Tartar Emperor Of China
recently issued an edict commanding all
the officials of the Imperial Government
to afford full protection to Christian
missionaries, because they advocate "a
religion that teaches men to be good"
the cunning celestial smiled audibly in
his sleeve. He does not believe anything
of the kind. On the contrary the good
ness' of Christian preaching is, in his
view, an abomination. There are some
of our Eastern contemporaries that pre-
tend to believe the quoted expression is
sincere, and indicates on the part of
China more liberal policy and letting
down of the bars of heathenism. Who
ever deludes himself with that fancy is
wofully deceived. That the Chinese
Government is very solicitous that there
shall be no difficulty between its people
and foreigners, is undeniable. Such
activity would endanger the stability of
the Tartar dynasty; that which begins
with assault upon ''the foreign dog,n is
very likely to develop into a storm that
viii burst upon the Imperial Govern
ment in the form of revolution of the
most prodigious character.

constitutional clause relative to the State
Board of Equalization. Clearly the in
tention was that the State Board was to
equalize only between counties and for
State purposes. Its only function, as the
San Francisco Bulletin well says, sis to
equalize taxation between the counties
for State purposes. 1t has not, and can
not have, any power over local taxation,
directly or indirectly. If the affirmative
view is taken we will have State Board
which is complete master of local as well
as State taxation, at least so far as this
county is concerned"
The injustice of the increased assess
ment for State purposes is enough to
bear, without compelling the people of
San Francisco to raise an enormous sum
OF money for local purposes for which
they have no need whatever. We do not
believe that the Constitution gives the
State Board the power to raise or lower
taxation for municipal purposes. If it
is so authoritatively construed, then a
new and grievous wrong will have been
done.

RIGHT ACTION.


The Board of Supervisors of San Fran
cisco has directed the Auditor of that city
mot to add to or increase the valuation
of property for city and county purposes
on the assessment book for the first fiscal
year 1912, as such action wonld be
wholly unauthorized, and therefore
illegal and void"
This, by contemporary, has been con-
strued as resistance to or defiance of the
order of the State Board of Equalization
But it is not, since it does not relate to
the State tax at all. San Francisco fixed
her tax levy in June. She could not now
amend it if she would. To consider the
so per cent. raise as applying to the tax
for city purposes would raise more
money for the city treasury than is
needed, and the politicians would jump
in and loot the surplus.

debates had upon the setting up of the

THE HAWAIIANS POI. "

Catch 1t on the Fly.
In an article on the Sandwich Islands a
writer in Frank LesLie'S Popular Monthly
says:
We saw the natives eating ''poi.n Poi
is something like cornstarch and is made
from the 'taro," the Hawaiian potato,
which is first mashed into kind of flour
and then cooked until it is thick paste.
Their manner of eating it is peculiar, and
l will describe it as I saw it.
-Four or five persons (natives) were
seated on the forward deck around an
open earthen jar containing this poi.
Putting their two forefingers together,
they would dip them into this jar; little
twist OF the wrist would collect fair
mouthful, which was lifted rapidly to the
mouth lno dripping allowed); the fingers
were licked clean, and then they were
ready for another ''go''
1t doesn't look pretty, and as it is GUS
tomary for several TO eat from the same
dish it rather went against my American
prejudices. If l was very much in love,
and ''she'' had very pretty fingers and
was very particular about her hands,
might be willing to eat poi with her.

An Inheritance From the Druids

The legend of the mistletoe is an in
heritance from the religion of the
Druids. The cathedral arches under
which the Celts worshipped were the
spreading branches of the oak, the
roof a dense foliage of greenery, and
the mis- tletoe, the mystical parasite of
the tree, was a symbol full of mean
ing, for it was believed to renew its.
life by some agency differing from
that which propagated all other
plants, and to exist by divine power.
Here, under the oak, the favorite tree
of the Celtic sun-god, at the period of
the winter-solstlce, priests and people
sacrificed white bulls and human VIC
Tins. The mistletoe was gathered
and dispensed in small sprays, to be-
hung by the worshippers over their
doors as amulets against evil and pro-
pitiation to the sylvan deities. The
Scandinavian legend of the mistletoe,
which tells tho story how Loki, the
god of fire, made the mistletoe the
agent of the death of Bladder, most
glorious OF Odln's children, is familiar
to all students of the Morse Sagas.
The mistletoe continues to be specially
cultivated in England for the sale
which is always large at Christmas
tide, but the apple-tree has taken the
place of the oak, as the soil on which
the plant feeds the most generously.
The kissing privilege connected with
the mistletoe during the days of yule
is probably the most familiar relic Of
its traditions. Both the yule-fre and
the mistletoe were of old believed to
have special virtue as safeguards
against the powers of evil; yet when
they became thoroughly embodied in
the Christian legend, it was not so
much this as their suggestion of the
divine power which at Christmas kept
the Prince OF Darkness and his satel-
lites in abject submission, that gave
them their value.-Harpers' Weekly

PINE RIDGE ATTACKED.
Indians Making an Effort to Reach ant

Burn the Agency.
RUsHv1LLE, Neb., Dec.31 When the
news of to-day's fight reached the agency at
Pine Ridge pandemonium broke loose
among the 5000 Indians gathered there
and large number Of these broke away.
The friendly Indians, including Red Cloud,
joined the army forces under Gen. Brooke.
AT shutdown fighting had commenced
within three miles of the agency buildings,
and determined effort was being made
by the reds to reach and burn the agency.
An Indian village of friendlies in PLAIN
sight Of the agency was seen to 20 up in
flames just before dark.
These fact were from all official courier
who was an eye witness to the trouble that
occurred at and near the agency. He came
here by order of the agency authorities,
bringing special dispatches and to warn the
settlers everywh ere to be on their guard.
The captain of the Nashville home guard
received official notice from the agency this
afternoon to make every possible prepara-
ton for defending the town and to see that
adjacent settlers were notified. Soon the
terrified people cal he in, and before mid
night the town was crowded. It is thought
by all cooler heads that no imminent dam
ger threatens the railroad towns.
To-day's battle has made it almost certain
that bloody war will follow. A large
number of warriors who favored peace have
gone to the Bad Lands, and now, with a
strong force of fighting bucks, it will be a
difficult matter to dislodge Kicking Bear
Two Strikes band was coming in toward
the agency, but now it is certain they will
turn back
