AMERICAN MACHINERY.
European Manufacturers Already Find
Il Best to Uae It Largely.

IL Best to UGo 1t Largely.
Continued reports are received In
this country of the large opportunities
for the introduction Of American ma
chinery and the investment Of Ameri-
can capital which are offered by the
peace agreement entered into between
China and Japan. A provision is made
that China shall hereafter be open for
the Introduction Of all forms Of mod
ern machinery, and that such machin-
cry shall be admitted free Of duty. The
Emperor of China has heretofore
strictly prohibited the introduction OF
modern machinery, as the result OF
which the Chinese are to-day using
wooden plows similar to those made
centuries ago. May it not be possible
that American shoe machinery Will
find its way into the Celestial Empire?
And it is beyond the comprehension of
the ordinary individual to estimate as
to what is likely to be the result.
1t Is said that the mill manufacturers
in England are beginning to be
alarmed by the transmission Of cotton
manufacture from Europe to Asia. The
great trouble seems to be that there
is no means by which England or
America can meet the competition
which Is likely to come from Asia as
the extension of knowledge and civili-
cation goes on, for the Asiatics, when
they once learn to operate the I'M
proved machinery which they will now
be permitted to employ, will have such
an abundance of labor available as to
appall ordinary comprehension. Think
Of four hundred millions Of Chinese
and three hundred millions Of Hindoos
who have been accustomed to work
for ten cents a day and less! AS
Matthew Marshall said recently:
"These people will constitute a new
mine Of human labor as extensive and
valuable as were the fertile lands OF
America when it was first discovered
or the gold fields of California and Aus
tralia." This may be all right for
those who will utilize the labor, but
how about the Americans and Euro
peans with whom they will compete
in products?

A Game with strong Features.

The onion sociable is the latest in
novation in sociables. 1t is played as
follows: The young ladies stand in a
row; one of them bites a piece out of
an onion and the men pay 10 cents for
the privilege of guessing who the bitter
is. The successful guesser kisses the
other girls, and those who are unsuc-
cessful kiss the girl who bit the onion.
The game is said to be a catchy one
and is not without its strong features.

New zenlnnd,s Woman Mayor.

Onehunga, New Zealand, town of

House of Hapsbnrg.

There is curious custom among the
daughters of the House of Hapsburg,
whose bridal trains, instead of finish
ing an honorable career in the ballroom,
are bestowed after the ceremony on
the church whose sacred floor they have
swept. Only short time ago, during
the centenary celebration at Rennweg,
the altar floor was covered with sheen
Of satin and silver, mellowed by the
breath of age, that had once formed
part of Marie Antoinette's wedding gar
ment.

somethInc Like a Meteor.

The simple farmers Of Chimagu, a
small settlement near Port Townsend,
Wash, are reaching for the record with
tale of horror about 5,OOO-pound
meteor which fell near there a week
ago with all manner of weird phe-
nomena. The meteor was, of course,
binding, and when it exploded at a
height Of 500 yards above the earth it
"caused veritable-cyclone" Of several
minutes duration. Then it buried it.
self in the village pond, striking the
bottom with such force that "the jar
broke crockery in farm houses three
miles distant" Ten hours after it fell
into the pond the water was bubbling
and seething, and was found to be hot
enough to cook eggs" Careful dredg-
ing failed to bring up any fragments Of
the meteor, and who knows but 1t is
still boring q hole in the earth, and
will come out in China to cause re-
newal of hostilities by being mistaken
for bombardment.

Rev. Myron Reed is preaching the

the Broadway theater, Denver, to great
crowds of anxious listeners. What a

be preached. The rich are fawned upon
by the churches because they pay well
for their entertainment, and poor Laz-

Since the decision of the United
States supreme court on the income
tax case, that no tax could be levied
upon rents deprived from real estate,
some serious questions are likely to
arise as to whether any tax can be col

ing salaries. So far as every other
form of income is concerned it Is di-
rectly tFaceable to land and may not
be collected. Tt is hoped that the case
may be reOpened for another hearing.

ONE stock argument of the goldbugs
is that silver dollar contains only 80
cents worth of silver. That is true.
But what would the gold in a dollar be
worth if it was demonetized as a money
metal by the same countries that have
demonetized silver? As soon as it
ceased to be a money metal it would
fall further in the scale Of price than
ever silver has. Prior to its demone-
tization by the United States, silver
was at a premium over gold. The
coined dollar being worth cents moro
than it's face value. As soon as it
ceased to be a money metal its price
decreased until it reached its value as
a commodity.

10. TIE REDEEnEERst

Ever since the Republicans took con
troll of affairs of state there has been
reports of doings at the capital that
should bring the blush of shame to
those who we're instrumental in placing
that party in Office.
A few weeks ago Otis L. Anterior,
state treasurer, was seen reeling down
Kansas avenue, too drunk to distin-
guish the sidewalk from coal hole
Now a more serious charge is brought
against him, and one that not only
should debar him from further occu-
pancy of Office, but that also should
bring him to the bar Of justice, like
any other felon.
During the legislative session he was
instrumental in securing for a young
lady from Russell county, the position
of enrolling clerk in the house.
She called upon Atherton to express
her thanks for his influence in secur-
ing her the position. She was told that
mere thanks did not pay for such
things. She replied that she had no
money till she earned it, but as soon as
her wages we're received she would pay
him whatever commission he deemed
proper. The brute replied that he did
not want her money, but that she
should pay him by coming to his room
occasionally. Words failed the shocked
young woman, and when be started
toward her she ran from the Office in
terror Holding her hands before her
face, and crying. as though her heart
would break, from the shameful insult.
she told tbs story Of the outrage to
