CHAPTER X,

Our meal was a merry one. Holmes could talk exceedingly well when he chose, and that night he did choose. He appeared to be in a state of nervous exal- tation. I have never known him so bril- liant. IIo spoke on quick succession of subjects, on miracle plays, on medieval pottery, on Stradivarius violins, on the Buddhism of CeyIon and on tho warships of tho future, handling each as though he had made a special study of it. His bright humor marked the reaction from his black depression of the preceding days. Athelncy Jones proved to be a sociable soul in his hours of relaxation and faced his dinner with the air of bon vivant For myself, felt elated at the thought that we were nearing the end of our task, and caught something of Holmes gay ety. None of us alluded during dinner to the cause which had brought us together.
 When tho cloth was cleared, Holmes glanced at his watch and filled up three glasses with port. "One bumper" said he, ito tho success of our little expedition. And now it is high timo We were off. Have you pistol, Watson!' have my old service revolver in my desk'

 "Yes; that green lamp at the side" ''Then take it off,

TINE CHINESE MISSIONS.

Bishop John I. Newman said the other
day, in speaking of Chinese missions
"The question has arisen, Have we a
right to 60 into other countries and at
tempt to shake the established religionS'
think not, for when you attack mans
religion, that which has been his since
the dawn of Intelligence, that man is 60
ing to fight. The same question was an
swered by conference in England this
year, when resolutions we're adopted con
demning the recent act of brutality on
the part of the Chinese, but acknowledge
ing that the power of missionaries did
not extend to coercion. 1t is the philos-
ophy and philanthropy of the Christian
people that disseminate the only true re-
ligion broadcast through the land" Then
also comes much respected Pittsburg
clergyman, who had wide experience in
religious teaching among the Chinese in
this country, who said lately that he did
not believe Chinaman had ever been
Christianized. Another authority tells
US that there are but two methods where
by mission converts are made in China
they are either purchased or kidnapped.
Yet we presume the English and Ameri-
can churches will continue to drain the
pockets of their Pensioners for the pur-
pose of carrying the word to the Orient.
There isn't work enough at home for
them to consider.

Hon. s. W. LAMoREAUx, commissioner
of the general land office, has more than
once given proof to the country that he
is man of broad and progressive views
touching matters that concern the west.
His recent strictly up-to-date expression
regarding the urgent need of an equitable
method of conserving and distributing
the waters of the west for irrigation pur-
poses may be cited in point. He fully
realizes the vast Importance of irrigation
as factor in the development of the ag-
ricultural resources of the western world,
and also understands that, the rivers
(which must do this important work. ris-
ing in the mountains and flowing through
several states and some of them watering
large areas of Mexico, the distribution of
the needed water involves the adjustment
of both interstate and International ques-
tions. For the purpose of avoiding fut-
ure trouble, and that Justice may be done
to all the interests concerned, he advo-
Gates the creation by congress of COM
mission clothed with authority to act in
the premises. The commissioners rec
ommendation is wise and timely and will
gain him new friends in the trans Mississ-
ippi region.

THERE lie danger of prairie fires on the

FREIGHT ON STREET CARS.
There is No Reason Why They Should Not
Benefit the People.

The Pennsylvania House of Repre-
sentatives voted by large ajori,y
to allow street railway cars to carry
freight. This is the one thing yet
lacking to develop trolley and horse
cars to their full usefulness. There
is no reason why freight should not
be loaded into street cars and carried
at the same speed that passengers are.
1t is convenience badly needed in
every city in this Union. Especially
the electric lines in suburban and
country places would supply a great
want if they sent out freight cars at
regular intervals. these could be
small, light and swift enough not to
interfere in any way with passenger
traffic. AT present the arrangements
for getting baggage and small freights
from one part to another of any OF
our large cities are grievance and a
nuisance intolerable. 1t actually takes
longer to get trunk from one part of
Chicago or New York or Philadelphia
to another than it would to send it to
a city 100 miles away. The street
freight and baggage car is the thing,

The Poor Mans Dollar.

The Atlanta Journal says: No
class Of our people have a more direct
interest in the currency question than
the wage earners. They constitute
the largest class of our entire popula,
ton. OF the aa,ooo, 900 people in
this country engaged in work in all
callings, trades and professions, about
1000, 900 are wage earners in manu-
featuring, mining, transportation,
building and other industries, not in
Guiding agriculture. To these 7,ooo,-
900 must be added the millions OF
clerks and other employees who are
dependent on the earnings Of their
labor.
"Should silver monometallism pre-
vail, all these people will be paid in
deprecated Currency, and until they
receive So for every dollar they get
now, they will lose by the change,
The decline of prices has made their
wages and salaries more potent in
providing the necessaries and comforts
of life. With every dollar they re.
ceive they can buy more now than
they ever could before. They must
know that there would be no com,
mensurate increase of wages with the
establishment of the single silver
standard. 1t must not be forgotten
that in rise of prices labor is about
the last thing to go up. With the
same wages they get now 1000, 900
people in this country would have a
good time paying twice as much a:
they now pay for everything they buy
This is what silver monometa)lism
would drive them to. The poor mans
dollar should be an honest dollar"

State Sanitation.

The State Board of Health has sue.
ceeded to an encouraging degree in
arousing public sentiment to the
necessity of organized sanitary super
vision. All cities and the majority of
the boroughs of the State have Boards
CT Health tributary to the State Board,
and bill is pending in the Legisla.
ture conferring the powers and duties
of board of health upon the School
Board of each township. This, if
passed, will furnish an organization
that can take the necessary measures
to suppress nuisance prejudicial to
the public health or a dangerous
epidemic in any section of the State,
no matter how remote.
The State Board finds, however,
that the old problem of making bricks
without straw is as difficult of solution
as ever, and while it has, or is in a
fair way to have, all the legal power
it needs, finds itself sadly hampered
for funds to enforce proper health
regulations. 1t is appealing, there
fore, to the friends OF proper SANTA
tion in all parts of the State to urge
an important increase in the appro-
priation for carrying on the regular
work under the boards supervision.
This appeal is worthy of cordial and
unanimous support. In no place can
the ounce of prevention be SO effec-
lively supplied as through the agency
of the State Board of Health. The
Legislature should need no urging to
its duty in this respect, but in the
multitude of claims upon the State
funds there is more or less danger
that the just requirements of the
board may be sighted, unless a popu-
lar demand compels proper attention.
