DIR. Mckim's Welcome.

enthusiastic applause, and at their con-
clusion Rev. DIR. Randolph II. McKim rec
tor of the Church of the Epiphany, deliy-
cred an address of welcome on behalf of the
clergy of the District
DIR. McKim spoke earnestly to the young
men before him, laying especial stress upon
the fact that St. Andrews Brotherhood
was essentially an organiza ton of the laity
OF the church. He considered it TO be a
powerful refutation of the theory that The
spiritual work of the church should be
confined TO its clergy. In this life no man
can hire another to love his fellow man

From Alaska.

John j. Healy, of Alaska, is in
Fort Benton, having arrived Thurs
day evening and is visiting with
his children and other relatives.
From us Mr.. Healy needs no intro
duction, as his history is linked
with that of Choteau county, and is
known to all the old-timers of the
state. AS a pioneer, as editor of
the Fort Benton Record, and as a
most efficient sheriff of Choteau
county, John Healy was a very
prominent figure in northern Mon
tana a few years ago. At present
he is connected with the North
American Navigation and Trans
portation company, whose field Of
operations is in the gold fields and
fur bearing regions along the Yu-
kon in Alaska and the British pos
sessions. During his stay in thai
region Mr.. Healy has grown stout
er and o gray, but age does mo-
seem to diminish his love for ad'
venture. Mr.. Healy will spend thu
winter in this vicinity and at thu
office of the company in Chicago
intending to return to Alaska Il

The Star Of Bethlehem, a paper
published in Leeds, England, has
the following editorial comment to
make of the late strike in Chicago.
1t says: GA big revolution is now
going on in the united States of
America, and there is little doubt
that the government will be de-
feated. The dictator, Debbs, has
been driven from his palace, and
he and his inisters are now in
hiding in the mountains. The
greatest trouble is being expert
enced in the capital of Chicago,
where Grover Cleveland, ring
leader Of the rebels has obtained
complete control. The railroad
tracks at that place have been
torn up and thrown into the Mis-
sissippi river, a stream consider
ably longer than the Severn, and
the stock yards, where the gov
ernment palaces are situated, have
been RACED to the ground. The
trouble was startod by a mar
named Pullman, who has a strong.
hold in the mountains of Illinois,
one of the most considerable prov
inces of the country"

The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1894-11-05
A Puzzled Emperor.

The emperor Of China is in state
of great mental worry over the frequent
reverSes sustained by his armies.
He has summoned his highest officials
to council, and he proposes to ask
chem why a small na zion like the Japan
csc cannot be eXterminated.
1t is evident that the Chinese ruler has
a very inquiring mind, and in this in
stance his investigation is taking the
right direction. II there is Il broad
minded statesman among his advisers
the question asked by the emperor will
bring out some very interesting facts.
Why cannot 4OO,000.O00 Chinese ex-
terminate 40,000,000 Japanese?
Here is the answer: Because the
Chinese are not SO well disciplined and
so wen equipped rs their foes; because
they are led by corrupt officers who have
sold their guns and most of thicr ammu-
milton: because their soldiers have been
SO brutally treated that they serve only
for pay and not from patriotic motives;
because the Chinese have more faith in
their war god and their green dragon
than they have IN powder and lead; be-
cause the Japanese have adopted the
civilization and the methods of the most
progressive nations. The Japanese civil
ization trains up men with brains and
courage, while the Chinese system re
duces men to the level Of children.
These are the reasons why the Chi
nese. although ten times more num-
erous tb"n the Japanese, are unable to
cope with them.
But it is not likely that any general,
governor or mandarin will tell his en-
peror these unpleasant facts. Such
frankness would probably cause the per-
son so offending to lose his head.

The Passing of the Gar.

The greatest ruler in Europe has been
summoned - another world by still
greater ruler-the all-wse and all-pOwer-
full King of Kings.
1t is not the proper time to pass judg-
ment upon the third Alexander. His
deeds and motives will have to be Sift-
ed and weighed, ana it may he gen
GRAFTON before the full effect of some of
his measures viii be felt. At 4 later
day impartial history will render its
verdict.
The car was more enlightened and
humane than many of the RomanolfS.
but his persecution of the Jews and of
the Catholics was cruel and indcfensi-
bic
Aside from these crimes against the
helpless and Innocent, Alexander has
made one of the best rulers that Russia
has ever had He has maintained the
peace of Europe, and if he has held the
people down he has frequently mani
tested his love for them. In the great
cholera epidemic he visited the hospitals,
exposed himself 10 the plague, and en-
outraged the sick and the dying. Dur
ing the famine he gave the sufferers
81 .50O.0O0 out of his private purse.
If he had great faults he had some
great virtues. 1t may be said i'll his be
half that if he was Il dcSpot he inherit
ed his policy from long line Of tyrantS.
II he distruStcd the people it must be
rccollectcd that he was in constant dan
GER of assassination, and the attempts
upon mis- life naturally made him bitter
and revenCeful.
NtA.ethcr his death will change Che Eu-
ropoan status and bring on general
war in the near future is doubtful. His
successor may find that peace promises
him more than war. But, be this as
it may, it is not likely that the new en-
peror viii be in hurry TO inausurate a
Warlile policy.

For nearly century the southern peo-

leader of the state democracy in New
York. He has been called a peanut
politician" and he has been pretty wide
ly advertised as Il man Of narrow views
and sinister designs. We have no sort
of doubt that he desplses Mr.. Cleveland
rs heartily as Mr.. Cleveland dcspises
him, but what is his attitude ut this
crisis in the affairs of his party? Does
he permit his spites and his prejudices
to control his conduct? Let the records
show! Ungrudgingly and unhesitating-
ly, he has thrown aside all spite and
luminosity, all personal feeling, and is
engaged in defending the administra-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. The whole tenn
per of the man seems to have under
gone such Il changc-a change brought
about by n party emergency-that his
enemies and his former critics unite in
paying tributes 10 his broad-minded and
patriotic attitude.
We regret that the matter has to be
left here. We regret that Mr.. Cleve-
land has not shown himself TO be fully
as loyal to his party and his party's in
terests as David Il. Hill. We are not
praising Mr.. Hill. He has done and is
doing no more than his duty; but he is
doing that excellently well.

Republican Postmaster.

The demand for The Constitution is
Of such character that we are con
tnually called on TO devise means for
placing il within easy reach of the pco-
pie To that end we like many other
newspapers. sometimes offer postmaS-
ters a commission to act as agents of
The paper. Where these officials are too
busy TO take The matter in hand, they
usually turn the matter over to some
trustworthy person who is willing TO
cara Tie commission.
4 few weeks ago we sent out to
large number Of postmasters the new
prospectus Of The Weekly Constitution.
Among the responses. which have been
unusually prompt aHd favorable, we find
the following queer letter from Edgar,
Fla. written under date of October
.ith:
Dear Sirs-Ycurs OF September, 's4 to
hand and contents noted. Being a repub-
lican. I cannot handle your paper. You
democrats have hurt business enough as 1t
is.
Hoping that the next presidential cleo
ton will change things little. l am yours
very truly, POSTMASTER.
We jmuK the POSTMASTER at Edgar,
Fla, is ungratcful, TO say the least
Having held Office for two years under
a democratic administration and enjoy
ed the profits thereof as sercneiy as if
he had been Il democratic warhorse who
had earned the place by serving the par
". it i'll becomes him to write Il letter
to a democratic newspaper denouncing
the democratic administration. Having
enjoyed in his own person the fruits
of democratic success for two years, he
should not now complain that demo
Gratis have hurt business.
1t is worthy of note that however
much he may despise the democratic
party, the republican postmaster at Ed
gar doesn't despise a democratic office
1t is queer that democratic admins
tra,ion should retain Il republican post
master in office. but it is queercr still
that after the administration has kept
the republican postmaster i'll Office for
| two years. he should turn and denounce
what it has done. 1t seems to us that
his criticisms would be in better taste
! if he had refused to hold office under
an administration which he condemns
and despiSes.
An interesting question is suggested

Negroes Wanted in Pennsylvania.

The PittSburg Dispatch strongly IA
vors the importation of negro labor from
the south. 1t says that thousands of
them are coming into the coke region
and taking the place of the Huns, and
in the main they have given satisfac-
ton.
The objection to the Huns is their
IawlesSnesS. Periodically they strike.
ana break out into desperate violence.
The Dispatch says that the negroes re-
spect authority, and as they can be OBJ
tained in large numbers it is no longer
necessary TO import the worst class of
aliens.
1t is claimed that the negroes can
earn higher wages in Pennsylvania
than they can make in the south, and
this inducement, it is thought, will
draw them To that state, as soon as
they find out that they are wanted
there.
We are not SO sure that Our southern
negroes will he satisfied with the CON
ditionS existing in the Pennsylvania

have hard taSkmastcrS, and the severe
winters will kill good many of them.
If they can stand it. they may make
more money, hut they viii find them

to try this new field of work, let them

Suicide of the Chinese Empress.

If the Chinese emperor has any sym
pathizers in civilized countries they will
not be found among the women.
Cur dispatches announce the death Of
the young empress Of China under cir
cumstances of peculiar brutality. 1t
seems that her royal husband allowed
his temper TO get the best Of him the
other day. lie scolded the empress and
wound up by slapping her face.
The empress WAS proud and sensitive.
She felt that she could not endure such
disgrace. and after retiring to her pri-
vate apartments she committed suicide
by taking poison.
The emperor is virtually the murderer
of this unfortunate woman. He de-
graded her as he would Il slave by
striking her and drove her to her death.
The brutality and folly of this tyrant
are characteristic of his whole people.
They are only bold and strong when
they are Expressing the weak. When
they have to face brave and intelligent
foes like the japanese they yield to
their natural cowardice and act Ike a
crowd of frightened children.
China is doomed. From the ruler
down to the lowest strata of society

We are surprised and grieved to see
that any democratic congressman from
Florida has permitted republican post
master to hold office in his district anu
thus crowd out some honest and desery-

the blame for this sort of Thing on the

see whether all the federal offices are
filled by democrats.
That is part of Il congressman'S duty.

interested in the proper distribution and
apportionment of the federal Offices

Preparing for More Bonds?

The gold brokers on Wall street are
talking about another issue Oh pohuS
They do not go off into Il corner TO 90
their talking. They stand out in the
omen. as it were, and gossip as ShDly
about saddling another hundred mililohs
of debt on the people as IL II were
picnic.
The financial editor of The New York
Herald mentioned the other day @s Il
sort of joke that was too good 10 keep
that. in addition to the regular specuia-
ton in bills OF exchange, an clement
on the street was holding the siXty-uay
bills and using them as collateral III
stead of sending them to London where
the discount is merely nominal mere
fraction of 1 per cent. These bills, thus
locked up, will be in the nature of siSht
orders for gold at their maturity
The Herald suggests that If there
were any desire to force gold EXPORTS
this would be Il very cheap method a
desire for gold exports could only grow
out of purpose to force new Dohu
issue.
The Herald also called attention to
another curious fact-namely, that the
gold brokers in Wall street attract at
tention occasionally by buying calls
on a million of gold.
We judge from all this that the specu-
lative element i'll Wall street is begin
ming to discover the power that it has
in manipulating bills of exchange, and
in taking advantage of Mr.. Carlislc's
fatal policy of redeeming silver in gold
and gold alone.
The speculative playfulness mentioned
by The Herald means another issue OF
bonds in the near future, and wan
street is preDaring the WaY for it.
