Letter from China.

We publish in this issue an interesting letter
from Chinkiang, China, written by Rev. James
E. Bear, missionary at that place. He is a
native of Churchville in this county, and has
many friends here who will read his letter
with much interest. They WILL doubtless, be
surprised to learn that, in some parts of China,
the people are ignorant of the fact that China
has been defeated in war by the Japanese.

1t is an old and familiar saying that ''cir-
cumstances alter cases." This is illustrated
by the different views expressed by the Char
lottesville Chronicle and the Harrisonburg
Glance in reference to toll gates. At Char
lottesville they have no toll-gates, and at
Harrisonburg they have
The Charlottesville Chronicle says
I'VE have for some time been inclined to
the opinion that the toll gate system is after
all the best possibly the only one by which
good roads can be made and kept up in a Sec
ton where taxes already fall SO heavily on
the agricultural classes 1t has the disadyan-
tage of being unpopular, but it has practical
bility and justice to recommend it. 1t is
right that those who use roads should pay for
them, and no more practical way of raising
money for road purposes could be devised"
The Harrisonburg Glance says
''These toll-gates should be taken down by
some means. legally, of course even if the
people have to pay to have them taken
down."
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have recently
perfected an ingenious cure for Dyspepsia
Their Digestive Cordial consists of a food al
ready digested and digester of foods happily
combined.
The importance of this invention will be
appreciated when we realize what proportion
of the community are victims of some form
of stomach trouble. Thousands of pale, thin
people have little inclination to eat, and what
they do eat causes them pain and distress.
This Digestive Cordial of the Shakers cor
reefs any stomach arrangement at once 1t

greatly interested to read the little book

 THAT'S WHAT WILL BE DONE.

The new government issue of treas ury notes will mark an era of history of the paper money Of the world, as well as define the relations between art andcurrency, which have hereto fore been left entirely out of govern mental consideration. The one, two, five and ten dollar bills shortly to be put into circulation by the govern ment of the United States will be works of art, each note being worthy of framing, like any other engraving of high merit. Such artists as Will H. Low, Walter Shirlaw and Edwin Rowland Blashfeld have made oil paintings from which the government sngravers have made steel engraves, from which, in turn, impressions have been printed on absolutely unique and beautiful paper, the result not only being new money, but millions of specimens of the highest art of the nd-of-the-century engravers put in circulation among the people of the United States. -Financier.

Now the United States custom house has no business with any office secrets in con- nection with it's discharge Of business with the business public. Allits tran sections of that nature (such as the Humphrey cattle matter) are public property, and any individual has q right to talk about them, while any newspaper has a right to discuss them. The gentlemen upon the hill are public servants, and whenever they fail in their duty, through neglect or ignor- ance, the public have right to know it, and it is the prerogatiye of news paper to tell about 1t, if 1t learns the facts.

 it is likely that one of the three sur plus officials put on by Collector Webb could be retired to the shades Of pri- vate life. The chief clerk could also attend the exports-as in Mir.

THE most amuging thing THE OASIS has encountered in a long time has been the assumption of the 'redactor responsible" for the Spanish end of Collector Webb's personal organ that in poking a little fun at him and his misuse of his own language this paper has leyeled an insult at the entire Mexican people.
