doors has been met and performed by
the church it is perhaps for us to say,
but it is a fact that the results in that
direction have not been what was hoped
| for and expected. The Chinaman does
not assimilate with US either in ideas or
actions. Wherever there are sufficient
| numbers of them to maintain such es-
| and observe all the forms and heathenish
customs of their native land. With
here and there an exception, and very
rare at that, they do not attend our
churches and schools of instruction, and
so far as outstanding them in this
country is concerned the facts of the
case are that greater progress has been
made in that direction, through the
efforts of missionaries, in their own
lands than has been here, even taking
into account the numbers there and
here.
Insofar, therefore, as this subsequent
manifestation of solicitude on the part
of the church concerning the exclusion
of the Chinese from this country in view
of the facts and conditions stated, the
protests that have been and are being
made do not carry with them the moral
force they would under different and
ordinary circumstances.
As has been often stated in these COL
umns it is one of the highest duties of
government to conserve and protect the
peace and well-being of the community
from evil and hurtful influences from
whatever direction, and in none more so
than from the vicious and depraved from
foreign lands. But it cannot be denied
that the government has given grounds
for criticism by its actions in relation to
the presence of Chinese here, while in
fnitely more dangerous elements to the
peace of the country are admitted from
other quarters without let or
hinderance. To this inconsistency the
church makes no reference, but that is not
to be expected; on the contrary it tacitly
endorses the liberal policy of the gov
eminent towards foreign immigrants by
its protest against the exclusion of
chinese.
As for the protests referred to, the
church invites criticism for it's apparent
There are some who believe
that had even a reasonable amount of
effort been put forth the heather that
have come to us would have been SO
transformed in life and character as to
render them far less Objectionable;
while on the other hand, with such faith
full effort, had the Chinaman remained
obdurate the church would now be
estopped in its protests, against his Sc
clusion, and would at the same time be |
iii position to lend its influence in bring
ing about change in the present policy
of leaving our gates open to the balance
Of the world. But, after all, it is much |
easier to criticise wrong or weakness
than it is to avoid or prevent it.

THE POLICY OF EXCLUSION.

TWAS hardly to to be expected that.
having qnietly set by and watched con-
gress discuss and pass the anri-Chinese
bill, the church in this country should
make such haste to condemn the act and
demand IFS repeal. Fer half a century
the church strove 10 carry christianity
into the orient but met with unssiisfac-
tory results, in the main, and il was
thought a fortuitous circumstance tba,
the Chinaman should have decided 10
come TO our shores, Tor the reason tina,
he would thus come under the Constant
influence OF christianity in Its effects
upon the daily lives Of cur people as
well as to be more readily comeataLle
for direct missionary labor Whether
or not the full measure OF obligation i'm
posed upon the church in this matter IN

THE CHURCH AND DANCING.

There IS little start of surprise in
reading that the great Methodist con-
ference at Omaha is on the point of put
ting its official stamp of approval on
dancing.
Dancing, which from the puritanical
era, has been derogated by the Protestant
churches, has always had its respectable
quota of devotees, who have ever dis
regarded the edict of the church in a
high-handed sort of way and danced
on light of heart.
This sensational change of front on the
part of the church is in line with the
liberal, non-intolerant expression of the
present world. The idea that it was SIM
full to cook on Sunday has fallen, years
ago; the iniquity of reading any but re-
ligious books on the Sabbath day fol-
lowed; and Sabbatarian restrictions
all along the line, have
weakened. Now the spirit spreads still
further and the barriers against dancing
are overcome, and the day, when the
old tenet that his satanic majesty turks
in every deck of cards will fade away, is
drawing nigh, 1t is in the memory of
our youngest men when a violin or even
an organ in the church was the result of
scisms and bitter animosities.
To so to the bottom of the matter, the
question resolves itself into one of
discipline. Can the church afford to be
so lenient? And what shall be called
leniency? And where shall the line he
drawn? There are two sides to the
question, both in the extreme. Tie
world has become too liberal for the
church to persist in its intolerant
Puritanism and preserve its organiza-
ton. On the other hand, by the very
nature of men, the church must have
restrictions and moral limits. These are
the two divisions and the task is to strike
golden medium.
1t is singular that dancing as an
amusement has just begun losing ground,
when the church takes this Few position.
Dancing was originally restricted to the !
Maids, Sylphs and maidens of the ORR |
entail world. In the the middle ages
the dance of "nlen and maidens" OBJ |
tanned, and has held on till the present
day. But it seems TO be on the wane.

very apparent. Hostesses complain that

the anxiety of the society man to escape |
"a set. 1t is no uncommon sight to see
two of the feminine sex dancing to-
gether. Fancy skirt dancing is becom-
ing very popular in the cities. The
dance seems to have returned to its orir-
inal devotees, the fair sex.
The stately minuet of the last century /
was superseded by the may, fascinating
waltz. 1t, too, has run its course. and

are as follows:

1t is not to be understood that the I'M
instructed delegates are in favor of the
nomination of some one other than the
president, or that they are opposed to him,
for tits known that the delegates from
several of the states that did not instruct
are unanimously in favor of Harrison
and will so vote in the national conyen-
ton. SO that with the showing made in
the foregoing, without some unlocked for
revulsion of public sentiment and radi-
cal change IN the present purposes and
intentions of the delegates, President
Harrison is at this moment reasonably
assured of the nomination, and present
indications are that it will be made by
reclamation and without the form of
ballot.

GOLD IS SCARCE.

There is no joke about it, affirms the
Washington Star. The gold production
of the world is steadily decreasing from
year to year, and it will not be very long
before the supply is practically used up.
Not more than 500, 900, 900 worth of the
precious metal is now mined annually,
and this is not nearly enough to meet
the demands of expanding commerce.
OF course, new deposits will be discovered
from time to time, but they will soon be
exhausted.
Why is gold so scarce? Simply be-
cause it is heavy. There are only two
metals that are heavier, namely, plati-
mum and Iridium. Remember that at
the beginning the world was body of
gas. By gradual condensation it became
LIQUID, while now the whole of its mass,
save only an outer crust much thinner
in proportion to the whole bulk than Is
the shell of an egg, would be fluid
but for the fact that it is held together
by tremendous pressure. Naturally, III
the course of its formation about CEN
ter of attraction, the weightier particles
composing the globe gathered about
that center. Accordingly we find that
the earth as whole weighs five times
as much as water, while the rocks form
ing the crust are only about two and
one-half times as heavy as water.
In ancient times gold was obtained
abuadantly from the rivers of Asia. The
sands of Pactolus, the golden fleece Sc
cured by the Argonauts, the yellow
metal of Ophir, the fable of King Midas,
all illustrate the eastern origin of gold.
Alexander the Great brought nearly
$500, 000. 900 of gold from Persia. Gold
also came from Arabia and from the
middle of Africa by way of the Nile.
But all of these famous sources of sup
ply were exhausted long ago.
Brazil, which only century ago was
the richest of gold producing countries,
has now ceased to be largely productive.
The total output of the metal from that
part OF the world from the end Of the
sixteenth century until now is estimated
at 500, 100000. All the famous gold
coast OF Africa does not at present yield
as much as $500 900 year, Yet the
Dark continent was formerly noted as
the country of gold. Mummies have
been numerously found in Egypt with
massive necklaces and other ornaments
of the metal.
Herodotus tells us of a king who load
ed his prisoners with golden chains, that
substance being more common than
bronze. Copper was even worn for or
in preference TO gold. The
treasures brought by the queene of Sheba
to Solomon's temple must have been of
enormous value. Since the year 1900
Africa has produced about $500, 900, 900
worth of gold, but the supply is nearly
used up now.
The supplies of gold drawn from the
Uunited States are steadily diminishing. |
1t is the same way with Australia, which |
has yielded for the worlds use about ST.
300, 900 worth of the metal. Not less |
han $1,000, 600, 600 worth of gold has
been dug in all countries since Column |
BUS discovered America, 400 years ago. !

The Key Note.

from the Lawrence Record.
The nomination of Anthony indicates
that Kansas has returned TO the old
paths of respect for long tried and well
proven financial policies. For the past
two years our leaders have been smotli-
ered in the smoke from the Chinese pots
of the new john Laws of finance. The
have blindly CROPPED here and there,
not daring to speak, scarcely able to
breathe. Anthony has never sacrificed
to the fiat God. He respects the second
commandment. He objects to taking
the name of Deity in vain upon a dis
honored dollar. ''In God we trust"
means to him trusting 100 cents on the
dollar. The Hutchinson convention
struck the key note-honest money. The
children of Israel have sat by the rivers
of Baby Ion until they have almost for
gotten the songs of their native land.
but they have now risen, and are ready
to return TO rebuild the piilaged and pol
luted temple. The leader III this good
work is George T. Anthony.

1t should, of course, be understood
that the action of the state convention in
instructing the delegates-at-large does
not bind the delegates elected by the
congressional districts. In some of the
states in the above list the Harrison
strength will be confined to the dele
gates-at-large and to the few district del
egates which have been instructed. In
Missouri, for instance, at least five dis
tricts havesent uninstructed delegations,
and in two OF these districts the conyen-
tions absolutely refused, on direct vote,
to instruct for the presidents renomina-
ton. Five other districts have instruct
ed. so that of the total of 81 votes in
Missouri the president will receive about
20. OF the fourteen states which in
structed their delegates at-large to vote
for the president ten are Democratic
states in the south.
