The game of foot ball was about to begin

According to our dispatches of yes
terday and the day before the Japanese
are giving the Chinese particular fits
at several important and widely sepa-
rated places, and all at once. Day before
yesterday the capture of Kin Chow was
reported, and yesterday the report came
that Foo Chow had been captured. Kin
Chow is in the province of Manchuria,
and is second only in Importance to
the capital city of Moukden. 1t is stu
ated few miles inland from the most
northern point of the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li.
and the imperial highway from Pekin to
Moukden passes through the city. With
Kin Chow in the hands of the enemy,
Chinese communication between the two
capitals is cut off. The capture of Foo
Chow, however, is of more importance
Chow, as it indicates that the war may be
carried into Southern China. Foo Chow,
in China, is situated in relatively the po-
sition of Baltimore in the United States,
though its latitude is about that of
Southern Florida. 1t is a treaty port
and is situated just across the Formosa
channel from the island of Formosa,
which, it will be remembered, was one of
the concessions demanded by Japan in her
terms of peace. Foo Chow has a good
harbor, it commands Formosa, and can be
made first rate base for winter opera
tions by an invader. 1t appears
pretty evident that the Japanese have
soft II 70 =
in their terms of peace. They have got
poor, helpless old China completely at
their mercy, and can demand whatever
They please. The march upon Pekin
seems almost like cruelty; still, if China
persists in thinking she is not yet beaten,
ii is China's own fault.

In the old days South Carolina was the
most vigorous kicker of all the states
against a centralized government; vet the
prospects are that when the current legis-
lature of that state adjourns South Caro-
lima will be virtually under the thumb of
one mantle governor. The tendency
during the last four years has been to
concentrate everything in the hands of
Tillman. He got about all of the ma
chinery into his grasp before his term ex-
PRED, with the exception of the courts and
the police departments. Bills are pending
in the legislature, and will be passed. to
allow the state by direction of the COVER
nor to change venue in cases where grand
juries fail to act as the governor or his
representative, the attorney general, think
they should act, to remove solicitors when
ever the governor thinks they are not car
rying out his instructions as they should,
and to place the police forces of all cities
of $500 inhabitants under the governor $
appointment and direction. 1t would be
interesting to see a summary of the pow
ers already possessed by the governor of
South Carolina, and contemplated in
pending legislation. 1t would probably be
safe to say that no ruler of any con-
stitutional monarchy has more power over
! his subjects.

Senator Teller is radical republican
on every public question except finance
AS republican he believes in high tar
iff, and in the McKinleyite argument that
the foreigner pays the tax" That being
true, what in the world does Senator Tel
Ter mean when, anent the issue of gov
eminent bonds, he says: ''Then think of
the increase in the burdens of the people.
Every hundred million of bonds means
an added taxation yearly of five millions
and final reckoning of the principal .
The revenues of the government, out of
which the interest on bonds is paid. are
derived principally from duties on i'm
ports. If the foreigners pay these duties.
as the republicans claim, what is Teller
kicking about? Do not the foreigners
pay the interest on the bonds when they
pay the tax on our IMPORTS and win
they not pay the principal as well as the
interest, in tariff duties, in the long run?
1t seems that Teller's republicanism and
his populism are tripping on each others
heels.

The Nicaragua Canal.
From the New orleans picayune Dem.,

AS, the receipts of the canal will be
the principal and interest of the bonds.
there will, in all probability, be
no actual loss on the bonds,
provided, always, that the expenditure
of the money is wisely administered.
Congress should take such steps as will
insure the proper administration of the
money realized from the guaranteed canal
bonds. The work authorized by the bill
of Senator Morgan is to be carried on IN
der the supervision of officers appointed
by the government, and after the COM
pletion of the canal its administration is
to be under the direct regulation of con-
greSS.

Populism in Georgia and Massachusetts,
From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger NndO.

The proposition of the Georgia populists
to impose a state income tax on all in
comes over s., 600 moves the Boston Tran
script to say that if such law were
passed Georgians would be in sympathy
with Massachusetts people. The latter
have long been subject TO a statute tax
ing incomes of over $1,000 A citizen of
Massachusetts may now be called upon to
pay three kinds of income tax, the state
tax on an income above $1,000, a federal
tax on an income above $4,000, and fed
eral tax on stock dividends before the di-
vidends are paid over. AS the Tran
script pointedly observes: There will be
taxation more than sufficient to go round
in this country in a year or two"

A Washington dispatch conveys the start
ling information that an inventive genius
out west has applied for patent for a
method of kissing by telephone 1t is to be
hoped the government will refuse the pat
ent, burn his letter of explanation and put
the fellow in the penitentiary for life on
the general principle that he is a very dan
gerous man. There are certain advanced
methods that are not wanted. kissing by
telephone is one of them. There is trouble
enough in this world already.

The Tybee Anchorage.

The movement in favor of safer anchor
age at Tybee is timely. The whole COM
mereial world is either directly or indi-
rectly interested in it. AS stated in the
resolutions of the cotton exchange, the
anchorage, when the harbor Improvement
work is completed, will not be sufficient
to accommodate the shipping that comes
to this port. and that which for one sea-
son and another stops at Tybee.
The number of vessels that crosses
Tybee bar annually is very large, and is
steadily increasing. 1t ought to impress
congress with the necessity for providing
at Tybee a safe anchorage, and no doubt
It will. While it is true that a good deal
of money has been appropriated for the
Improvement of Savannah's harbor. it
doesn't follow that none should be ap-
propriated for the Tybee anchorage. In
deed, the fact that the harbor is being
greatly improved is an excellent reason
why the Tybee anchorage should be made
safe, because the improvement of the har-
Dor will make the demand for better an
chorage at Tybee greater. In proportion
as the channel Of the harbor is deepened
the number of vessels visiting Savannah
will increase.
If the Georgia congressman bring this
matter before the river and harbor com
mittee, and make clear and forcible
presentation of the facts. the necessary
appropriation will, in all probability, be
made. Earnest and persistent work in
good cause is generally successful.

A French physician has invented a me-
chanical hypnotiser for the cure of head
ache. The apparatus is in the form of a
helmet made of strips of steel which are
put in vibration by small electric motor.
The vibrations are at the rate of 600 a
minute. The sensation, which is described
as not unpleasant. produces drowsiness;
the patient falls asleep under the influence
and awakes to find the headache gone.

Prospect of an Extra Session.
New Orleans Times-DemOcrat Dem9.

Some of the democratic journals are
insisting that the President should call
an extra session whether congress acts on
financial matters or not, so as to compel
the republican majority TO show their
hands and let the country see what their
policy is; but this is a very poor reason
for starting more political agitation and
a conflict in congress. If the present ses-
sion does not act on the financial ques-
tions an extra session VIII be necessary;
but II can act. and ought to act, and the
fact that both branches of congress are
of the same political faith as the President
makes II more likely that an agreement
can be reached than with the next con-
gress, which is in political opposition to
him.

yesterday. it becomes the duty of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
watch its operation and if its effects
work injury or mischief, the commission
has power to abrogate the contract with
thirty days notice. The orders and find
ings of the commission in this matter, as
in all others, are subject to review by
any circuit court of the United States.

The Boston Herald thinks it sees in ex-
President Harrison a formidable competi-
tor with Dan Voorhees, for Voorhees, seat
pires in 1897. The republicans have a good
grip upon the Indiana legislature, and
count upon holding it, Should the Har-
rison presidential boom collapse, from a
puncture by Reed or Mckinley or from
other cause, the ex-president's wound
might be salved with the senatorial cleo
ton. Or Reed or Mckinley might make ar
rangements with the Indiana bosses to
take Harrison out of the presidential con-
test by giving him first lien on the sena-
torship.

The action of Comptroller General
Wright, in directing the tax collector of
this county to keep his Office open until c
p. m, during the remaining days of the
city registration, is commendable. The
keeping open Of the tax collectors Office
four hours longer each day for three days
will, in all probability, enable all of those
who want to pay their taxes. in order to
register, to pay them. 1t is but natural of
course that each of the two factions should
make every possible effort to gain an ad-
vantage. 1t is the duty of the authorities
to keep the peace without any display Of
craftsmanship and to afford every possible
facility for the payment of taxes. With
the additional time for the payment Of
taxes provided by the comptroller general
the probabilities are that few, if any, will
be prevented from registering.

The republican congressman are aston
ishingly remiss in their duty to their con-
stituents. During the campaign they told
their constituents that the Wilson tariff
bill was stranger, a thief and a thug;
that it would throttle industries, rob
them Of their wages and sand-bag en-
terprise. Yet we hear not one word from
passing of another Mckinley bill, to re-
store wages and make the wheels go
round again.

1t is doubtful if the state military
ought to feel grateful to the House of
Representatives for it's begrudged pit
lance Of $4,000, passed two minutes before
the end of the session. The soldier boys
appreciate the efforts of their faithful
friends in the House, WI know the mi
litia is founded upon pat -fotism, and who
worked to have that patriotism recog-
nized. But they have right to feel
resentful toward those other members
who profess to regard them as an un-
profitable charge, and who came near
preventing an appropriation. If the state
militia were to be as slow about doing
their duty toward the state government
as the state government was slow about
doing its duty toward them, what terrible
things might happen!

Recording Color.

An ingenious instrument has been
brought into notice, called the "tin-
tometer," by which permanent
record of any colored substance may
be secured by means of standard
glasses of various degrees OF color.
This instrument has proved to be of
immense value in gauging the colors
of fours, oils and similar substances,
and now it's use has been extended to
chemical work. By its use ths color
of solution of unknown strength can
be estimated, and the strength can at
once be determined by means of tables
provided for the purpose. This
method can also be employed for esti-
mating the amount of lead in a solu-
tion, which, if free from interfering
substances, gives definite color with
Lulphuretted hydrogen. In fact.
wherever colormetric determinations
are desired, the tintometer may be
looked upon Gs the best instrument
for obtaining accurate results. New

The Question of Ivory.

The ivory question is important, be-
cause ivory is the wealth of the slave
trader far more than are his slaves.
Ivory is now found almost exclusively
in the Congo State. The elephant is
exterminated in Uganda and in Nyas'
aland. Some 500 tons of ivory reach
London yearly, but the supply is de-
creasing. 1t is estimated that 70, 600
elephants are being killed every year,
and, if this is true, even the Congo
herds cannot long survive such slaugh-
ter.
1t is generally agreed that, as the
She e-elephant has only one calf every
two or three years, the destruction is
going on much faster than the breed
ing. Meanwhile it is to be remem-
bered that ivory is essentially slave
trade product, and comes from the
lands of Tippoo lib. The sale of arms
and ammunition must be prevented
from all sides. The sale OF spirits Of

The Language OF Ants.

1t has long been believed that ants
have means of communicating with
each other, and Lubbock and Landois
gathered from their researches on the
subject that the insects do so by means
of sounds, too high in pitch to affect
the human ear. Janet, a French nat
uralist has recently shown that certain
ants make stridulating noises analog-
GUS to those of crickets, produced prob
ably by the rubbing together of some
of the many rugose or rough surfaces
to be found or their bodies. These
noises, too slight 10 be heard when
made by only one insect, may be de-
tected by imprisoning a lot of ants be-
tween two pieces OF glass in n space
surrounded by a ring of putty. On
holding this to the ear, one may hear,
by listening attentively, a gentle muir
mur likened by M. Janet to that made
by liquid boiling slightly in closed
vessel, varied now and then By dis.
tinct stridulating sounds. These
sounds are heard only when the ants
are disturbed.

The Age OF Steel,

The Eiffel Tower, built wholly of
metal, is an example, and good ex-
ample, of step in the direction
which architects will be driven to fol-
low in the future. The great railway
stations, exhibition buildings and
other structures of steel, coucrete,
papor and glass, which the needs and
inventions of our day have called in
to existence, show which way flows the
stream of tendency. The new build
ing material has come to stay. In an
other century houses may not merely
be built with steel girders; they may
be made of metal frames bolted to-
gether, and gripping walls of papier
mache. Then the age of the tent will
return. A man will buy his house
from manufacturer and will hire a
site to set it upon. When he moves
from one place to another he will take
his home with him. Building leases
will die natural death. Towns will
wander about, and great many Curl
GUS results will arise. st. Louis Star

DIR. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry in the Agricultural
Department, said recently that there
had not been any pleuro-pneumonia
among cattle in the United States for
more than two years, but that tuber-
culosis is to be found everywhere more
or less. 'It is not confined to any
one locality" said DIR. Salmon, "nor
is there an unusual prevalence of the
disease. 1t has existed from time i'm.
memorial, but it can be lessened, and
can probably be eradicated by adopt
ing proper measures. 1t is a disease
of the lungs among cattle and con-
tagious, being communicated by germs.
1t is most prevalent in dairy catt @
which are raised and kept under con.
ditions where contagion can be easily
communicated. The disease is more
apt to spread among cattle kept in
stables than among those in pasture
or on a ranch.

The Emperor of China is not con.
teht with the respect shown him by
his subjects, and recently issued the
following peculiar order: "After
bringing our sacrifice recently to the
highest being, we heard upon our re-
turn to the palace, near the gate lead
ing to the Imperial quarters, rather
loud noise caused by talking. This
shows that the people have not the
proper regard for the majesty of the
luler, and also that the officers of the
bodyguard have failed to do their
duty properly. The officers who were
on post at the particular gate must be
punished, therefore, by the Ministry
of War. In the future, however, all
officers, high or low, must see that q
noise SO improper shall not occur in
our presence.
