The Republican system of protec-

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

Darlington Journal.
Hundreds of thousands Of working
men in America are idle. There is
work for most Of them, but the price
paid doesn't suit, and they are out on
a strike For bigger wages. This is the
case with 125,000 coal miners who
have been getting $l.75 to 1926 a day.
Most of them are Huns, Dagoes, Po-
lacks and Russians, who were brought
here on contract by wealthy corpora
tions to dsplace American labor
These foreigners soon learned to com
bine and force wages up to the highest
point paid to Americans whom they
Displaced; then they strike for still
higher pay, and main and murder any
honest workmen who offer to take
their places. They march by thous-
ands to mines where the laborers are
satisfied with their wages and force
the latter to quit work. 1t is a sad
state Of affairs brought about by the
greed of millionaires.

4 sudden and Fatal Change.

4 few days afterwards the senator de
cided to abandon his trip to California and
return to his Michigan home, as his cCndi-
tion would not permit him to travel. The
return home, however, was postponed as
the senator improved very slowly. At
o'clock last evening a change for the worse
took place and the members Of the family
We're hastily summoned. Within few
minutes after Mrs. Stockbridgc, and Mr..
and Mrs. Houghteling reached him the
senator breathed his last. While he had
been very i'll it was at no time thought
that his condition was dangerous, and his
death was entirely unlocked for A com
bination Of heart and stomach troubles is
announced us the cause of death.

The collieries in this district are now
being worked to their full capacity in
order to meet the increased demand for
anthracite coal occasioned by the strike
OF the bituminous miners. Maple Hill
colliery, of which Thomas Williams is
outside foreman, made large shipment
yesterday. They hoisted 0O1 cars of coal
and of rock, and shipped to market 4O4
loaded cars. This is considered very
large shipment, and the officials at the
colliery pride themselves upon the in
creased output.

The Tomb of Confucius,

The city of Chufu-hsien, the Mecca of
the believers in Confucianism, is in the
province of Shangtung one of the most
populous districts of the orient. Here Con-
fucius was born, and here his sacred bones
lie buried. The tomb, which is located in
one of the largest cemeteries in the prov
ince, about three miles out from the city
above mentioned, is one of the most impos-
ing in the whole empire.
The grave itself is surmounted by an
earth mound about IL feet in height, the
whole surrounded by cluster of gnarled
oaks and stately cypress trees. Before the
mound is tablet about feet broad and
90 feet high, upon which is inscribed the
names and deeds Of the great founder of
Confucianism, a religion adhered to by
over 400, 900, 900 human beings. The bur-
den of this inscription, according to relia-
BILE translation, is Perfect One, ""Abso-
lutely PRre," Perfect Sage" "First
Teacher, ""Great Philosopher" etc.
The avenue which leads up to the phi
losopher's tomb is even more interesting
than the actual place of burial itself. On
each side of the avenue are rows of figures
of huge animals cut in stone-lions, tigers,
elephants and horses, besides numerous
mythical creatures, such as animals half
dog and half frog beasts with four legs
and twice as many wings, besides null
titude of unnamable monsters that never
lived on the earth, in the water or in the
air. Taken altogether, the burial place
of Confucius is one of the chief spots of in
terest in the orient.--St. Louis Republic.

An African Pest.

With regard to the utility of the croco-
die there are diverse opinions. 1t is Ger
tainly scavenger, though when the rapid
currents of most rivers are taken into con-
sideration the Importance of his mission
dwindles. The author of "In the Moran
bala Marsh" says that along the banks of
African streams it is dangerous to APP
proach the river edge. Water for domestic
purposes is obtained from the top of inc
banks by means of cup attacked to a
bamboo pole 90 or 80 feet in length, and in
spite of these precautions the death roll is
most CHASTITY one.
The primitive dugouts used by the ma
lives for travelling on the rivers are in
many cases merely deathtraps. While the
man is padding along, barely two inches
above the surface of the water, the croco
die seizes his hand and drags him to the
bottom
On one occasion / sent down some let
tiers by Hindoo merchant, and few
weeks later heard that both letters and
postman had been devoured by crocodiles.
At another time l was strolling along the
bank, and hearing cries arrived at the wa
ter's edge in time to seize young boy
Whooo iSS pau pcSii Caught ny out VI lutse
brutes and torn from him. He escaped with
his life, thanks to my timely arrival.
In some places one sees thousands Of
crocodiles on mud bank, most of them
scarcely Q inches in length, evidently just
Matched A week does not pass but in
some river village walls and lamentations
are heard for fresh victim to the croco-
dies Unsuitable appetite. Youths Com

The English Boston.

In one respect old Boston is very much
less attractive than its namesake across
the Atlantic. Its natural surroundings
are decidedly unlovely and uninteresting
Approached from any quarter, the pros
pect is the same-fat land unbroken by
the merest pimple of a hill, stretching as
far as the eye can range, every acre of 1t
cultivated to the highest pitch Of perfec-
ton, the monotony of the scene varied
only by an occasional clump Of wind toss
ed trees, or minaret topped windmill, or a
cluster of heavily matched cottages round
about one of the bridges which cross the
innumerable dikes by which the country
is intersected in all directions, or by one
of the stately church towers for which the
county is famed.
Straight as arrows run the fenland
roads, raised high upon banks of luxuri
ant grass above the dikes, of which the
dark motionless water Is rich with crow
foot and brooklimes and meadow sweet
and the great blue water forgetmenot. In
the more sequestered regions we may meet
with some of the ancient feathered iDhab-
itants of fenland, with the sharp billed,
shrieking curlew, the white tailed sand
piper, the bullying Norway crows, the
heron and black backed gulls, but the roar
of the Lincolnshire agricultural machin-
cry seems to have frightened them away
from more frequented districts, and the
solemn stiffness of the air, even during
the spring months, is remarkable the
Year Round.
