called anti-missionary. They are not
anti missionary, but anti-foreign. A

the most monstrous charges against for

print in any language. To quote them

ga Mandarin of high rank in Human,
Chou Han by name, together with some
associates, also Mandarins, in 1890, issued
a series of infammatory tracts of the
yilest character, illustrated with bias
phemous pictures, making the usual
charges against foreigners, and calling
on the people to rise. burn and kill, and
SO drive the foreign devils from the land.
This Human propaganda led to the ex-
tensive riots of 1891, resulting in the
murder and severe injury of number
of Europeans and the destruction o vast
amount of property
This plan to get rid of the western
barbarians has never for one m oment
been abandoned by the Human gang and
its supporter. 1t

"During the late war with Japan, the

DALLAS, Texas. Sept. 17.-After two
days consumed in argument on the
habeas corpus hearing Of Jesse Clark,
charged with prize fighting, Chief JUS
tice j. IL. Hurt. Of the court of criminal
appeals, decided this afternoon that the
criminal code was wholly imperative.
The court said: SIT was who first sug.

do with the law. | do not believe that
under the provisions Of our statutes or

TIE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

Inc cotton States and international
Exposition will open at Atlanta, Ca,
to-day and there Is every indication
that 1t will be grand success. When
1t is remembered that the idea of this
wonderful exhibition OF the wealth and
resources of the South originated with
the editor of the Atlanta Constitution,
and has boon worked to successful
conclusion by the unsnimity of the
people of that city, in spite Of the gen.
eral business depression of the country.
1t is hard to say whether feeling of
wonder at their pluck and persistence,
or OF admiration for the brillisncy OF
their achievement, is the predominant
emotion that stirs the mind of the out
slider in contemplating the magnitude
and success of the work that has been
done.
On the whole, the undertaking has
been most skillfully carried out, until
now not only every Southern State. but
the whole country, without regard to
locality or sectional lines. is deeply in.
terested in it's outcome as marking 8 new
era in the progress and development Of
the most promising anu most desirable
portion of the American Union. Besides
the success of the Exposition as fnan.
cial commercial and industrial venture,
which now seems assured, 1t will work
wonders in bringing immigration and
capital to the South. which means the
rapid increase Of this section in wealth
and population. The size OF the build
ings, the extent OF the grounds, the
variety Of the exhibition and It's beauty
and completeness as whole make 1t
in magnitude and magnifcence second
only to the Chicago exposition
among the great industrial efforts Of
the country, and stamps with the seal
OF its success the indomitable energy
and perseverance Of the Southern people
in every laudable enterprise that enlists
their sympathies and receives their
support. Arrangements have been com.
pleted for President Cleveland to touch
the button al Gray Gables which will
start all the machinery of the exposl
ton in motion, thus proclaiming to the
world that the South is again in the
saddle, but this time in the march of
peace and progress, and that, as in the
first instance, she was invincible whore
the. chances were equal, SO in this sec
ond outburst of energy she will assert
her individuality and prove her ability
to keep steadily at the side Of the most
advanced people of the earth in the race
OF material development and individual
attainment
