Gov-Senator Hill, of New York. is still
being severely criticised by his own
party as well as by his political oppo-
nents, for holding to the governors office
since being elected to the senate. But
the governor-senator can offer several
plausible excuses, from personal stand
point, for so doing. In the first place he
was elected governor for two years, and
his term does not end for nine months
yet. Second, the salary of governor in
New York is $4,000 year, while that
of senator is but $1,000 moving con-
sideration with most people. Third, the
governor of New York is a much more
potent political factor in that state than
United States senator, and the gov
ernor is strictly in politics. The COVER
nor, being human, these are quite enough
reasons for his actions in the premises,
don't you think:

The Atchison Globe says the kansas
City people frankly admit that the forth
coming commercial congress is for the
purpose of pulling Kansas City out OF a
hole" If it is fact that such is the OBJ
ject, and there is no other in sight, Kan
sas City will get fooled. No one is pay
ing any particular attention 10 the con
gress" except Kansas City and fellows
who expect TO live for a week al the
expense of the city. The latter viii not
spend cent when they get there nor for
the benefit OF the city when they get
home nor will they be over grateful Tor
what they get The commercial con-
gress" is great fake.

The census bulletin shows that Blair's
state and its neighbors, Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont are not the
only states that have a falling away in
the school enrolment. The loss is from
7 to 10 per cent, while they increase in
population. The statement is surpris-
ing and almost alarming. 1t may be-
come necessary, from this showing to
have ex-senator Blair recalled from
China in the interest of education in his

Twenty years ago there were but fifty
five Japanese in the United States: ten
years ago only 142. The figures for this
census have not been given out, but at
the same ratio there can hardly be more
than IT'S; nor is even this growth real
growth, the few here being mere tran
sients-diplomats, students and jugglers,
all anxious to get away. That is to say,
that is their history and characteristics
in the past. A steamer from Japan ar
rived in San Francisco one day last
week with forty-six Japs on board; ten
days before that forty-eight arrived at
that port. Whether these ninety-four
have come simply as tourists or with
view to remaining had not been ascer-
tanned, but they may if they choose.
The restrictions put upon the Chinese
do not apply to the Japs, and Frisco is
bit alarmed at the unprecedented arri-
walls IN such close succession, which
would indicate that tine japanese are no
more desirable for citizens than their
nelghbors of the Flowery Kingdom.

The fire marshal of New York makes
strange statement in regard to the
trouble of convicting firebugs He had
been steadily trying for four weeks to
get two men convicted against whom
there was the most positive evidence of
arson in the first degree. The marshal
says:
"One OF them, who set fire to his clothing
store, where he also lived to get IS, $50 in
surance on s. 900 worth of goods, was not
convicted because two of the jurymen did
not want to establish a precedent, as they
may get into trouble themselves"
