THE SMOKENUISANCE

THE SMOK E NUISANCE.
 Chicago keeps annoying on. The latest is that the business men of Chicago have undertaken to abate the smoke nuisance. The Union League club, which has insug urated many wise public movements, has taken the initiative in the anti-smoke agitation and has drawn to it's side four teen other associations of public spirited men whose joint cooperation should re- suit in at least abatement, if not abolition, of general annoyance.
 It will be interesting to see what the smoke-abaters can do. A committee has been appointed, and work is to be imme- diately begun. The Chicago Herald says: It is possible that the committee may ask the council to pass an ordinance requiring exclusive use of hard coal. The council may or may not accede to the suggestion if it be made. If such an ordinance shall be passed the committee may as we'll pre- Ordinances do not enforce themselves. Unfortunately, city servants do not en- force them, either. There is law enough on the books now to stop the smoke hui sance if the police enforced the law. A special array of public prosecutors acting without pay will be required to make any additional anti-smoks legislation of avail. Public sentiment, if aroused to resolution, will be worth more than intellectual law. Let it become as odious for an establish ment to befoul the air with smoke as the street in front of it's premises with dirt heaps The self-rsspect of business mon is the best court of appeal in such a mat ter.
 It will possibly be found in Chicago that the self respect of business men will not permit them to waste money by buy ing and burning hard coal when they can get soft coal cheaper. This is the trouble in Now Haven as we'll as in Chicago.

CHECK HONG CHEONG SPEAKS.
 Check Hong Cheong is good deal of man in spite of his name, which is rather against him. He is Chinaman, and he has come to London to plead with the English people for the abolition of the opium traffic. which is doing so much to ruin his countrymen. In the course of his remarks he has had something to say con- corning the Chinese which has special in terest for this part of the world. He does not think that the Chinese will ever1un the western world. There is room enough in China for them There is square mile of country for every seventy-two of her 400, 100000 In France there are 200 in habitants to the square mile; in Germany 230, and in Great Britain 333. Then the soil is much more fertile and is capable of producing 8 more rapid succession of crops, and in greater abundance, than that of any country in Europe. China is also far richer in mineral re- sources. In all the provinces of the empire there are deposits of coal meas uring in the aggregate 419,00O square miles, or more than twenty times the ex- tent of the aggregate coal fields of all coal producing counties of Europe and three and a half times that of the United States. Side by side with these coal fields are to be found iron ere and ironstone in great abundance. Check Hong Cheong also de- nied the correctness of the popular inn precision that there was a general desire on the part of the Chinese to emigrate. He said it was singular fact that 99 per cent of those who go to Australia and Califor- nia go from the one province of Canton, and nearly all from a particular district within that province.
 This is encouraging. It is to be hoped that Check Hong Cheong has correctly sized up the situation. If there are any people that other people would be especially glad to see stay in their own country they are the Chinese.
