CHINESE CRUELTIES TO AMERICAN
MISSIONARIES.


News has been received in Boston
of the assault and massacre of mis-
sionaries in China and much anxiety
for them exists there. At the Con-
gregational house Secretary Alden
said the missionaries of his denomi-
nation had not been molested as far
as was known and Secretary Muir
dock, at the Baptist headquarters,
said that the Baptists had been saw
ed from the fury of the celestials.
At the Methodist headquarters it
was learned that riots had occurred
Yang Chow, Wusuch, King Kahn and
other places in the Yang Isl valley.
At Marking the Chinese attempted
to demolish the Philander Smiths
hospital and set fire to the girls
school outbuilding belonging to the
Women's Foreign Missionary socie.
ty. Rev. D. W. Nichols faced the
mob alone and kept them at bay, with
his revolver until a mandarin arrived
with soldiers. The windows and
walls of the chapel and dwellings of
the Wesleyan mission at Wusuch were
battered down. Rev. Mr.. Argenta
and Mr.. Green, Englishmen connec-
ted with the customs service, were
killed. As far as known at Metho-
dist headquarters in Boston no En-
gland missionaries have been killed
The cause of these attacks it is said
is that in China there is secret So
ciety which has for its object the
overthrow of the government, and
who hope by fomenting riots with
the subjects of some powerful for
eign nation to draw China into war
so that the government can be over
thrown

KANSAS EDITORS.

The committee Of the editorial
convention of Kansas, charged with
preparing an address to the people,
has completed its work. They are
true to principle and Will not forsake
the party. Commenting on the third
party move the address says: eve
are neither unmindful of the fact
that of all the demands made by
those who have but recently discov-
cred these great wrongs, there is not
one which can be described as ra-
tlonal, but which is in the bounds of
possibility and what has been made
over and over again by the demo
cratic party. Nor are we blind to
the fact that the later Increment OF
those who until recently were the
political associates of the perpetra-
tors of these wrongs is simply des-
perate effort to get the benefit of the
democratic measures and democratic
politics without abating their parti-
san prejudices suficientlyto vote the
democratic ticket. We say to all
who hope for better things, all hail
brother, but we cannot consent to
withdraw from the field of activity at
the very moment when the triumph
of democracy makes reformatory re-
lief possible" The address reafirms
the party s stand on the tariff and
declares in favor of free coinage and
the abolition of the national banking
system

THE MORAL SENTIMENT.

The moral sentiment in the State
of Texas is in the ascendencY. From
most of the large cities, the towns
and villages all over the great State
comes the news of reforms being in
augurated one way or another.
Some are doing it through law and
order leagues, some through the Off
GERS backed by the moral sentiment
that is permeating the whole state,
but that there is a great reform
movement going on throughout the
State no one who reads the papers
can doubt. Evidences of it reach
US every day From one section of
the State will come the news of the
enforcement of the Sunday law
against whisky shops, from another
against gambling houses, and from
others against the houses of i'll
fame. In different places it takes
different shape, but there is a re-
form of some kind gong on at near
ly every place. Some evil is being
fought, curtailed or entirely eradi-
Gated. Upon the success of these
movements much depends.

Ex-PREs1DENT CLEvELASD's news
paper, the Saturday Globe, has col.
lapsed. The few politicians to whom
this news became known regarded
it as an exceeding significant politi-
cal strrw in view Of the fact that a
presidential campaign is about to
begin, in which the name of the ex-
president is expected to figure prom
inently as apostolic candidate The
Saturday Globe was established
three years ago just after Mr.. Cleve-
lands defeat for re election. The
object of the Globe was to exploit
and advocate the tariff ideas of Mr..
Cleveland, particularly as announced
in his famous message to congress
and incidentally his views on the
silver question. the great idea in
view being of course the re nomina-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland for the presi-
dency.

German
 Syrup"

G. Gloger, Druggist, Watertown, Wis. This is the opinion of man who keeps a drug store, sells all medicines, comes in direct contact with the patients and their families, and knows better than anyone else how remedies sell, and what true merit they have. He hears of all the failures and successes, and can therefore judge: II know of no medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat, or Hoarseness that had done such ef-
 fective work in my Coughs, family as Boschee's cora rarhro.+ German Syrup. Last winter a lady called Hoarseness, at my store, who was
 suffering from very severe cold. She could hardly talk, and I told her about German Syrup and that few doses would give re- lief; but she had no confidence in patent medicines. told her to take bottle, and if the results were not satisfactory Iwould make no charge for it. A few days after she called and paid for it, saying that she would never be without it in future as &few doses had given her gelief." Q

The Parent of lnsOIn mia.

The parent of insomnia or wakeful- ness is in nine cases out of ten, dys- peptic stomach. Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion in'erferes with it. The brain and stomach sym . pathizes. One of the prominent sy,nptoms of weak state ut the gAs- tric organs is disturbance ol the great nerve entrepo,, the brain. In vigora'e the stomach and you restore equilibrium to the great centre. A most reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which Is far preferable lo mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics which, though they may for time exert sopoi fife influence upon the brain, soon cease to act, and invariably injure the tone of the stomach. The Bitters. on the contrary. restore activity to the oper- atiC ms of that all important organ, and their beniticent influence is reflected in sound sleep and tranquil state of the nervous system. A wholesome impetus is likewise given to the action of the liver and bowels by it's use.

 Next Thursday the feast will com. mence. Great preparations are made for it. It will be run on different principles than ever before. No chil. dren or ladies will be admitted to the gambling pavilion. The park is a busy place now.
 The Mammoth mining company has in the past two years received a total of over 3,OO0,OO0 pounds oi freight.
 On good authority it is told that the two Chinamen running the San Fran CISCO restaurant are to be married to two Mexican young women in a day or two.
 The idea prevails that more knowl edge is necessary for admission to the Territorial University than is really the case. Boys and girls who can pass an examination in English, arithmes tic, history, geography, algebra and writing are eligible, and may take the preparatory course.

Bright and early this morning, being released from his confinement, struck out for the tall timber. Before going he told Sheriff Kelton that he had in view. among other matters of moment, the exploration of the little difficulty now existing in Southern California known as the SaltOn Lake. Arrayed in full walking costume, in style be- fore the flood, and armed with small vial containing as he told the sheriff, "elixir of life.'' he disappeared like a feeting shadow down Toughnut gulch defying the world at large to tread on the tail of his coat.

Metals.

The following shows the state of the market on the 23nd inst:
 NEW Yo4K-Silver has been dull owing 70 lack of foreign demand and cessation of speculation here. Not withstanding the heavy government purchases, silver has been gradually losing ground and closes the week low CT than it has been for some time.
 CoPPER--COpper lost good deal of the reviving activity that was review ed last Saturday, but yet did not re- turn to entire hamilton; and while only one sale was reported, current values have been les nominal than they ruled for some months; declin- ing however, some l5 to 20 points on the week and barely recovering this day by the close.
 Outside very good business was done and the demand was so active that holders tried to raise prices few points, but this action resulted in soaring off the buyers. It is however a good sign of reviving interest in this long neglected metal and we look foi improvement in the copper market Casting copper has steady demand and prices rule about ll4. Arizona is not obtainable in the market, the entire product of the var ious copper companies of that Terri tory being contracted for long time to come.
 LEAD-Lead ruled rather flat again on all entire absence of opening deal lngs and q steady sagging off in quo talions, to the extent of about l( points,"
 The spurt taken by lead was O short duration and prices have re lapsed to 4.4O with demand light ant little business doing. The strike a the Omaha snelter is credited witt causing the rise last week and nov that the men have returned to worl there seems no occasion to hold tn price up.
 CHIcAGo-Sales during the weel were 400 tons. Market closes quiet d 4 80 with 5 asked.
 ST. LoUIs-Market dull, and littl business going. Quotation are nom lnal 4. 30@4.32.

THERE is an attempt on the part of interested parties to produce the be- lief that this country has no market for "pig" tin, except to make it into plates. Now the fact is that various factories of the United States, mostly those in which "silver plating" is em- ployed, have been for years importing the metal at the rate of 35,OOO,OOO pounds per annum. This is more than one-fourth the total product o the world and it is nearly twice the quantity of tin plate imported, Dc the tin plate tariff advocates find any iustific ation in these facts for the de- mand of 270 per cent profit.
