A Plague Story

A rather good story is told among the Chi
nese about the empress dowager and the
plague, says the New York World The en-
press keeps constantly burning day and
night IN her palace eighteen lamps, which
represent the eighteen prOvidences of China.
Not long ago one of the lamps, though 1t re-
celved precisely the same attention as all
the others. was burning very badly, and the
empress sent for the chief imperial astron-
omer to learn the reason. The chief astron-
omer, having carefully considered the matter
and onsulted the archives, told the empress
hat the lamp which was burning so badly
represented the province of Canton. which
was about to / e aItIcted with a serious cpl
demic in which the God OF Pestilence had
determined TO take off eight-tenths of the
people.
The empress was very much concerned at
being told this. and asked The chief astron-
omer how such dreadful doom might be
averted from eight-tenths of her people in
the province The CHIEF astronomer said that
the god might perhaps be moved by prayer
and offerings and everything was done to
placate HIM by the empress dowager's or
ders After this the chief astronomer was
asked what sue cess had been achieved, and
after much consideration ana consultation he
replied thBt the Goa of Pestilence had con
sented to compromise but this was abso-
lutely the best that he could do-for four
tenths of the human beings and four-tenths
rats. Thus the fri ghtful mortality of rats and
human beings at Canton this spring is ex-
planned.

What a difference there is between the
way those Japs are fighting and the way
the Brazilians fought We have been &C
customed to regard the Oriental people as
slow. But the opinion will have to be
changed. They-that is, the Japs-are
quite quick enough. The Brazilians
fought for months and months, and ac-
complished little or nothing. The Japs
have been fighting something like a week
and have wiped out a sufficient number of
their adversaries to people a South Amer
lean city If they keep up the gait they
have struck, China had better propose a
compromise, even at the expense of Civ
ing up Corea and the whole Corean ques-
tion. 1t is evident that the Japs have got
their fighting clothes on. And there is
no telling when they will take them off.

The House and Senate Conferees.
From the Philadelnhia Times IndA.

The common idea OF the purpose of con
ference is the adjustment OF differences. but
the senate conferees ON the tariff start with
the announcement that they will make no
concessions A conference under these con
dltions must be Ruthless. And the attitude of
the Senate is the more indefensible because it
rs so clearly contrary to the whole spirit OF
The constitution. which. while il gives the
Senate the right to amend or to reject q rev
enue bill. never contemplated that such a
bill should be framed by the Senate IN oppo-
make it stlil worse this contention does not
represent the deliberate view OF the majority
Of the Senate, but only OF half a dozen
strikers, who will allow no revenue bill to
pass except on their own conditions. No
wonder the House conferees are indisposed
to yield TO such a demand.

Populism and High interest.

The trade journals Of New York are
calling attention to the fact that between

sent from eastern cities for investment in
4 Chicago has been recalled by the owners
of it since the great railway strike, be-
+ cause the Chicago authorities were so
slow in suppressing lawlessness during
the strike. The impression got abroad
+ that the Chicago authorities sympathized
/ with the lawless element. Capital is
( timid and viii not go readily where prop
erty is not given the fullest protection
/ possible.
When the populists got control of
Kansas a vast amount of money that was
invested in that state was with
drawn, not because there was
fear Of 1awlessness, but because it feared
there would be a great deal of legislation
that would be hostile to capital The
fear proved to be well founded. Laws
hostile to capital were enacted, and the
consequence was that farmers and others
in Kansas had to pay more for money
than they had been paying. Where
money TO loan is scarce the rate of in
terest is high, and the market value of
real property IS, as a rule, low
There are other western states from
which capital has been withdrawn be-
cause Of the success of the populists
The announced purposes of populists
alarm capitalists, who would rather take
less interest for heir money than iuvestit
where they would be in danger of losing
it, or of having trouble in getting it when
it becomes due. The populist party,
therefore, is a burden to a state that is
dependent upon money from outside its
limits for its development.
Here in the south we are asking for
capital with which to build factories and
immigrants to cultivate our unoccupied
lands. 1t is important to our success that
we should get capital at as low rate of
interest as possible. We cannot there
fore, afford to encourage a party that
threatens to enact legislation that would
tend to make investments unsafe or dis

In the conservatism and wisdom of
| democratic rule, there is unbounded con-
| tidence. Under that rule the south has
prospered greatly. From condition of
great poverty less than thirty years ago,
she has risen to prosperity and compare
tive wealth. If that rule is continued,
the south, in the not far distant future,
will become the richest and most favored
section of the country.

They Are Not in It.

One Of the stories that some of the re-
publican papers have taken a malicious
pleasure in circulating recently is that
the President is particularly anxious that
coal should be put on the free list of the
tariff bill because he and a number of his
personal friends, including ex-Secretary
of the Navy Whitney, Secretary Lamont
and ex-Gov. Russell of Massachusetts are
part owners Of immense coal fields in
Canada, and that free coal would be of
immense benefit to them, as it would ena-
BILE them to supply practically the whole
of the New England coal market.
1t may be that good many people be-
lieve this story, though if they have any
confidence in the integrity of the Presi-
dent, it is difficult to see how they can.
The story has been thoroughly investi-
gated id found to be without foundation.
There is a company that has coal fields in
Canada, and it is spoken of as the Nova
Scotia coal syndicate. 1t has Offices in
New York and Boston, and a number of
wealthy Boston and New York men are
interested in it, but neither the President,
Mr. Whitney, Col. Lamont nor ex-Gov.
Russell own any stock in it. Indeed, it Is
doubtful if the President knew there was
such company until he saw accounts of
it in the newspapers.
The republican newspapers that have
circulated the story have not thus far
made any denial of it. They do not seem
to feel under any obligation to undo the
wrong they have done the President. If
they had desired to do only simple Justice,
they would have found out whether or
not there was any truth in the story be-
fore they published it. 1t is probable
that they did not want to know whether
the story was true or not. They saw a
chance TO do the President an injury, and
they did him what harm they could.
Their conduct in this matter is not credit.
able to them. 1t places them in the posi-
tion of being willing to use disreputable
means to accomplish political object.

A Senate bill that was reported favor
ably from the House naval committee a
day or two ago, and will probably become
law before the end of the session, will
have the effect of booming the naval
militia The bill authorizes the Secre-
tary Of the Navy to furnish naval vessels
To the various states for the use of the
militia; to detail sufficient number of
men from the navy to act as instructors
and shipkeepers, and to loan with each
vessel the charts, books, instruments and
all other equipments necessary for the
proper instruction and drill of the mill
tiamen. The bill, which has already
passed the Senate, was drawn by AS
sistant Secretary McAdoo and has the
approval of Secretary Herbert. and its
passage by the House is regarded as a
foregone conclusion. II is within the
range Of probabilities, therefore, that
before long Savannah will be the home
station Of a warship manned by the
Georgia reserve Of the United States
navy.

The government of Italy has established

bureau is for the benefit of Italian immi-

Profits for the Sugar Trust.

The sugar trust doesn't seem to doubt
that the tariff bill will become a law. It
is buying all the sugar it can get and is
storing it in its warehouses at New York
and Philadelphia. 1t has been doing this
for several weeks. Nearly all of its
warehouses are now filed with raw sugar.
Some of its warehouses have not been
used for years. All of them are being
brought into use now From all the
sugar producing countries steamers are
arriving laden with sugar. Unless the
tariff bill becomes law pretty soon the
trust will have enough raw sugar on hand
to run its reineries for months.
The sugar that is now being brought in
pays no duty, and if the tariff bill passes
the trust will make on the sugar it has
on hand when the law goes into effect a
cent or a cent and half, pound more
than its regular profit. 1t is not to be
wondered at, therefore, that the trust is
purchasing such large quantities of
sugar.
The longer the passage of the bill is de-
layed the greater the amount of sugar
the trust will get into the country free of
duty will be-
If the tariff hill had become a law a
month ago the treasury would have been
better off to the extent of hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The trust, therefore,
is not complaining of the delay to which
the tariff bill is being subjected.
