Attack on Missionary Work.

American missionaries have been in
trouble of late in Turkey, China and
Japan. The Japan Herald makes the
bitter charge that the native Christian
pastors have no scruples about appropri-
ating the property of other people, and
goes on to say that sit is well the chart
table, although misguided, enthusiasts in
America and Europe who furnish the
funds for the support of missionaries in
China and Japan should know what has
occurred" The Mail goes into specifca-
tons of its accusations Of gross dishon-
esty.
AS to the brutal assault by Turks
upon Miss Anna Melton, Presbyterian
missionary in Amadia, the facts Of which
have been printed, the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions and the state
department of the United States are ex-
changing communications, but it is not
unlikely that the diplomatic abyss of
Constantinople will bury the whole topic.

An Indian Owns the Town.

Bonner's i cry is puzzled The citizens
don't know whether they are at home or
on Indian lind. Until few DAYS ago
they were not worried about Indian
claims, but at present these form a very
lively topic for discussion.
The trouble was started by the an
nouncement that the government had
allotted 10 tracts of land to the 10 heirs
of old Dick Fry, the pioneer settler at
the ferry, who married squaw. The 10
allotments aggregate ESQ acres. and one
tract of 10 acres, claimed by Arthur Fry,
includes the original town site. Thishas
been indifferently known as Fry's post
Office and Bonner's Ferry. Itincludes the
hotel, the postoffice, number of stores
and many residences Altogether it is
claimed to be the most valuable part of
the town site.
The people of Bonner's Ferry do not
know what to do. Some Of them think
the title can be oyerthrown. Others are
inclined to think the Indians title indie
feasible and attempt compromise. The
fact that if this title is sound he will not
be able to dispose of the land for a quar-
ter of a century adds perplexity to the
case, although attorneys say there may
be ways to remove that dificulty.-Spo-
kane Chronicle.

A New Yorker In China

Mr.. William Pethick, United States
vice consul, for many years a confden-
tial adviser to 81. E. Ii Hung Chang, has
resigned his position of manager of the
railway and after ~ years of continu-
GUS residence in China is going home.
His thorough acquaintance with the
Chinese language, his indefatigably
studious habits, his almost unequaled
opportunities of observation and knowl-
edge, give a weight to what he says
about China which would not belong
probably to 10 others in the empire. 1t
is well known that he has prepared a
compendious work on the life of his
great patron Ii, and it is hoped that the
work may soon be published. China

An Excuse For Fighting.

Joseph Chamberlain, in the speech he
was not permitted to deliver, got as far
as to Eken Gladstone to Herod. He was
on the verge of likening the home rulers
to the innocents. Atthat point their in
dignation became insupportable. The
fist fight which followed was healthier
and manlier recourse than the reduction
of expression to a science of insult within
the elastic limits of parliamentary per
instability. 1t is better to call a man a
liar and have him to hit you in the nose
than it is to declare that he is the lineal
descendant of the impenitent thief who
died on the cross and for him to retort
that you are blank leaf between the Old
and New Testaments.- Brooklyn Eagle.

Dramatic taste In San Francisco.

A San Francisco audience will be
much more amused by the manner in
which the professor breaks down Mrs.
Brooklyn Bridges ceiling than it will
over the splendid merriment of Sir Toby
Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek and NAL
volio. 1t is like the French audience,
which is infinitely more amused by wit
than by humor.
But comedy is not held in great favor
here. The San Franciscans being the
most pleasure loving Of people, prefer
tragedy. a good, old fashioned, blood
splitting tragedy, where every one is
killed in the last act, is highly approved
of. If Edwin Forrest We're alive today,
he would count his most frantic admir-
ers in the city by the Golden Gate.
Tragedy as he must have understood
it-tragedy played with all the force of
the lungs-tragedy where the murdered
victim and the despairing suicide took
half an hour to die and died acrobat
ically from the footlights to the door at
Sae back of the stage-would meet with
tN-e heartiest approval here. The ele-
nent in the theaters which loved and
worshiped Forrest and his energetic
methods is larger in San Francisco than
in most cities of its size. It is not that
the audiences here do not contain in
dividual spectators of the highest arts
tic insight and cultivation, it is that the
majority of the audience is formed of
; spectators whose taste in the drama is
very much on the same lines as the taste
in the drama of the gods in the gallery
The spectators of Insignificant education
and uncultivated taste are more numer-
GUS than the spectators of cultured mind
and trained powers of appreciation, and
the majority rules.-San Francisco Ar
gonaut.

A Profitable Potato Season.

The Irish potato season, which has
just ended, has been the most profitable
one on the eastern shore for years past.
The shipment has been larger, and the
prices have been and are yet the very
top of the market. During the past
three weeks over $500 carloads of pota-
toes have passed over the peninsula.
One days shipments from Cape Charles
alone amounted to between 5000 and
5000 barrels or 80 carloads. The sweet
potato season will be in full blast in q
few weeks.-Richmond Times

An Alderman Was Referee.

You have read in the yellow covered
story book OF the SOLITARY horseman
who might have been seen," etc. Well.
this wasn't a horseman. Last night
after the fire investigation had adjourned
a group of aldermen might have seen on
the sidewalk on Nicollet gathered around
bright spot under an arc light watch
ing prize fight between two beetles,
one of the big, vicious looking variety
that f1utters around the street lamps
every night and another of a smaller
kind. One of the members of the coun-
Gil was acting as referee, and the others
occupied reserved seats on an area rail.
These aldermen must have relaxation
from their arduous duties in these days

isn't it lucky that the comet has

Lets go look at the comet!" Marie

caller to entertain. There's the very
loveliest place upon our roof"-and away
she'd fly, followed by the unsuspecting
visitor.
Sometimes the visitor thought it rather
strange that the roof was covered with
a nice rug and that little divans seemed
plentiful, but he never said ANYTHING.
He just looked wise and put all his ath-
letic strength into helping beruffied
and belaced little figure to Chamber up
steep ladders. When the figure got to
the top she was sure that she could never
get down again, and if she wandered
within 10 feet of the edge of the roof she
clutched desperately at a coat lapel, and
then he always had to locate the comet
for her-but of course you understand.

How Our Australian Trade

The present condition Of the commerce

it forms no proper basis for pessimistic
dread of impending industrial and mer-
camille ruin. cannot be too frequently made
the topic of serious and intelligent dis
cussion, for out of such discussion should
come that hopeful knowledge and courage
which will lead to a renewal of earnest,
timely and well-directed efforts.
San Francisco is not dead nor have her
great opportunities for healthy commercial
enterprise and flourishipg financial opera

position remains unchanged, and. though
the altered conditions Of transportation
may have curtaled some of our 0ppor-

which are the very nerve and muscular

Let US take the Australian trade, to
which l referred in an interview with a
CALL reporter which was published on the
18th ult, as case in illustration. This
trade should offer us selling market for
at the least So. 000.0 600 worth OF goods per
annum, and an almost equally extensive
and profitable purchasing market. But as
a matter OF fact our trade there does not
amount to 1.-THE of that, and what there
is of it has really been forced upon us by
the Australians. AS far back as 1870 there
was q large demand throughout the col

articles. 1t was a spontaneous demand,
and the trade which it constituted was
carried on through English houses

commerce we had with the colonies at
that time was the exchange OF an occa-
