CHINA wakes wroth over the ex-
clusion bill and the Celestial minister
at Washington curls his cue in indig-
nation. China is reported to threaten
retaliation and will exclude all Amer
leans from her soil. The sooner she
does this the better for this country,
as it will only hasten the day when
every pig-tailed pest will be expelled
from the United States.

THE tariff catechism, or the tariff
tracts issued in catechism form by
the republican campaign committee,
are good missionary documents for
the dissemination of American litera-
ture. They teach the gospel of pro-
lection in such plain and simple
language that he who runs may read
and reading may understand and be
instructed thereby.

THE cotton crop OF the world for
1891, with the surplus of 1890, was
two million more bales than the
world required. To eq1alize matters
the crop of 1892 should be two million
bales less than the world demands.
Until this equalization takes place
the price of cotton must nece ssarily
rule low.

NOT SENTIMENT BUT SENSE


The Waco Day misrepresents the
position taken by the LIGHT, and by
other republican papers as well, in
the matter of the punishment of lust.
full negroes for outrages committed
upon women. The LIGHT has never
directly or indirectly excused those
outrages, nor has 1t ever pleaded for
any sentence less than life imprison-
ment or death for such outrages. II
has condemned the cry of the demo
cratic press for q greater vengeance to
follow the preparation of such crime
than has been inflicted by the enrag-
ed citizens of this and other states.
When it is taken into consideration
that these outrages have been punish
O. by burning at the stake, and by
the iufiiction of other cruelties as in
human as those of the acts of the
victim himself, 1t is difficultt, under
stand upon what grounds the demand
for a great ter vengeance is urged. If
death in one of the most horrid forms
be not sufficient punishment.
to what end is this cry
for greater one directed
The LIGHT yields to no paper pub
lished In Texas IN its expression Of
the damnable deed perpetrated upon
defen ceIess women, but it does say
that this demand of the press for
diabolical vengeance upon the brutal
lied perpetrators of these crimes is In
itself brutslizing and would answer
no good end in preventing the COM
mission of such crimes in the future.
That violence breeds violence and
that inhumanity breeds inhumanity
is truth demonstrated again and
again in the history of the human
race. This is not plea for leniency
in the treatment of these criminals,
but protest against the brutalizing
of society in its mad passion for the
punishment of the utrage, regardless
of its effect upon society Itself. There
is no doubt that it is laxity in the en-
torcement of the law that 1t is at the
bottom of this demand for the sum-
mary vengeance of the mob upon this
class OF criminals. 1t is equally GER
tain that this laxity of law is not the
fault of the criminal classes, but of
the very society that vents its own
sins upon the heads of these crimi-
nails. Let the statutes of the state
make all outrages upon women pun
ishable by death, if that be deemed
wisest. Then let that punish
ment inevitably follow the COM
mission of this crime, but let
it follow at the. hands of the proper
officers of the court and not at the
hands of lawless mob. This, be it
understood, not out of consideration
for the criminal so much as out of
consideration of the well being of
society itself. There is an antipathy
in the minds of many to the infection
of the death penalty for any other
cause than the taking of life. In
view of this fact, it might be we'll to
make emssculation the invariable
punishment of these outrages upon
women, which of late have become SO
frequent as to startle the whole coun-
try and challenge the best method of
prevention. Whatever may or may
not be accepted as the best means of
preventing these terrible crimes, this
much is certain, they will not be pre-
vented by turning society into
pack of ravenous hounds to rend the
perpetrators of these crimes limb for
| limb.

St. Paul Matters.

1t is exceedingly difficult to intro
duce the work in the city. But a big
break has been made.
Three weeks ago fully 80 labor men
met in the Office of the GREAT WEST
and put the organization of the
county in a fair way.
/ Three meetings were planned. The
first one was in the 5th ward, at the
A. 0. U. W. Hall on Mississippi st.
We sent out bills OF large size and OF
character to attract, and was there
at 7:45. Found a crowd of 40 or so,
the balance of over a hundred, stand
ing outside on a 1O-below-zero night.
The labor men in charge of our work
were part there and part not. The
key was not to be found-and those
who made an effort to get in and
build a fire did not succeed. We gave
up that meeting, although a hundred
came up to attend. We have since
ascertained that the old party-the
G. 0. P.-the party OF the Grand Old
Principles and Glory-had 'frozen it
out"-monkeyed with one OF the men,
got the janitor out OF the way, etc.
The second meeting was an invita-
ton to address a Lyceum on "Why 1
am an Alliance Man." at the "Float-
ing Bethel" in charge Of our prohibi-
ton brother, Rev. D. S. Morgan.
The third meeting was in the subur-
ban city, or annex, Hamline, near the
University. There was an audience
of about 125 out-and the gospel
was preached for two hours. The
audience were mostly laboring peo-
pie, though not wholly so.
Other meetings are in view in the
city. It requires more funds to get
up meetings in the cities than in the
country-and we trust the alliances
will help us in the missionary work.

German Addresses.

Mr.. B. Marschner, County Lecturer
OF Brown County, is an able German
speaker. Places wanting German ad-
dresses will please address this office.
Always give a months time ahead
to us-and prepare for an average
expense of $1O-which will probably
include railway expense and Lectur-
er's fee. We put this in without any
statement from Mr.. Marschner; but we
believe it is correct.

Tho Postage s,amp cr..e.


Those who do not keep track of the
postage stamp collection craze a
hardly realize how the "fad" runs
away with a mans judgment. At a
recent sale of are postage stamps in
London a single British Guinea stamp
OF 1856 brought $3.50, and was consid-
cred cheap at that price. Some Rus
sian stamps are so rare that they will
command almost any price, and at
tempts are frequently made to forge
them. The great collection of Phil
lippe Ferrari, Of Paris, contains a
quarter of a million Of stamps, and is
thought to be worth about 81, 900, 900.
Mr.. Philbrick recently sold his COL
lection to NJ. Ferrari for $50, 900; and
Sir David Cooper, the well-known
Australian collector, has sold his fine
collection to the same collector for
Sl5, OOO. The collection of the late
Duchess de Golima is said to have
cost nearly 5000, 900, and the cost of
the 5000 volumes in which it is con-
tanned was about 865, 900. At the
Paris mint there is a remarkable col
lection, while the Rothschild collec-
ton in Paris is of almost priceless
value. Rare stamps sell at from 800.
to 81, 600, and the collectors keep a
close watch on all the sales through.

The wood, after being once dug up,
