THAT CHINESE EXPLANATION.

Another American mission has been
attacked in China. This time near
Foo Chow. and native scholars and
converts were the victims. In the
meantime the world has been asking
why were the men and women who
had been sent out TO teach the charity
and peace of Christianity, in the city OF
Cheng-Tu attacked and ruthlessly
murdered Why should those who
only taught peace and good will TO man
so suddenly incur the deadly enmity
of those who were TO benefited.
The numbering was done by "vege-
tarions." This seemed unaccountable.
logical. These missionaries were not
only not vegetarians but were in the
habit of buying. killing and eating ami
mails deemed sacred by the high caste
BrahmanS. The vegetarians declared
that these foreign devils We're rid
ing rough-Shod over their religious con-
victions, and it turns out that the mis-
sionaries had been appealed to. 10 re-
spect the prejudices Of the Hindus by
refraining from eating their sacred ami
mails. The vegetarians are known TO
be rabid fanatics.

stance, he says, ''It is notorious that
bad characters who have their lairs in
the neighboring mountains had come
into the town on the lookout for rob-
berry, somewhat in similar manner
to that which prevails now and then
in western America. where rowdies
ride in in broad daylight and loot the
banks"
Having shown thus that western
Americans are in glass house Of their
own, Kung Najen goes on to explain
that the Chinese people who have
found out about the recent war, are in
an unamiable frame of mind. The
missionaries, he charges. have some
times been known to express poor
opinion of the natives, and have also
failed to always maintain the calm
ness Of demeanor which is needed in
the Orient. The direct cause of the
Cheng-Fu massacre was that a mis-
sionary had locked up in a chapel
small heather who was throwing
stones at him. Whether the mission
airy should have taken to his heels. or
whether he should have waited for the
lethargic Chinese authorities TO inter-
fere, We are not told.
But Kung Najen believes that if
Confucian missionaries were TO at
tempt to make converts in the English
industrial centers, similar ructions
might follow. He haStenS, however,
to add that the Chinese authorities are
determined to put stop to such hor-
rors in future. This is TO be very
much hoped. Kung Najen's eXplana-
ton, however, has not excused. and
he has succeeded in making few very
odious comparisons.

THAT POLICE COMMISSION.

The people of this city were very
much puzzled to understand why w.
T. Campbell should make it Il condition
with Dawes that the old board OF CON-
missioners must be removed before he
would undertake 10 make Wichita a
country village for sobriety and NOR
ality-and for business. II was gen
orally known that Dawes and Camp
bell. morally, are as like as two minks
OF the same hole, but knowing the
ability. the moral standing. the probity
and the honesty OF the men composing
the old board, il could not be seen
wherein Campbel's objection came in.
What was plain only 10 the few then.

Campbell and the smelling committee
of that secret cOnclave which turns
churches into political caucus rooms.
knew that they could not use that old
board of high minded gentlemen Of
pure lives for doing their dirty bid
ding, so a commission of nobodys, of
men not interested in the welfare of
the town. one that would have no mind
of their own. whom Campbell and the
sneak committee could unquestiOnably
run, was chosen and named. Its chair
man is George Douglass Democratic
partner, who is alive to the fact that
the more bedlam they can kick up the
worse it will be for the Republican
party; its secretary is a nobody, IN
known to the present or past history OF
the town, politically or materially, his
coming from no one seems TO know, his
only prominence being the ownership
of Jersey COW which he never earned
but which came to him as a dover;
the third member of the commission
being its only Republican, and he of
less account TO the community than the
severed tail of fox to the trap. Camp
bell did not want the place unless he
could be Dawes chief footing tool, but
also at the same time be the city mar

all. Hence his posing and the rigidity

THE EAGLE AND ASTRONOMY.

Every morning on the first page of
the Eagle is published the hour and
minute when the sun rises and sets and
also the condition Of the moon.
This, probably, is what licensed a
subscriber at Norman, Oklahoma, to
ask us the following questions:
l. Do the retrograde motions of the
equinoxes affect the right ascension and
declnation of a celestial body?
?. If the difference between the declina-
ton of a star at the pole of an ecliptic in
March q is AZ seconds, what is the veloc-
ity of the light, the suns distance being
81. 800. 900 miles and the year 365.26 days?
In answer to the first question, after
looking the sky over last night and
sizing it up, we would unhesitatingly
say that it does. If the QuestiOner
will go out in the evening at 8 o'clock
and glue his eye three degrees south
west Of Jupiter and so turn his head
that, at the same moment, Mars is
just peeping over the right-hand corner
Of the wOodshed, he will see small
yellow speck appear family and then
dodge under again. From 4 close
observation it would seem that the
equinox has hold Of the slack of the
trousers Of this celestial body and is
jerking the day-lights or star-lights out
of him.
Before answering the second ques-
ton it should be said frankly that
there are too many stars in the sky.
The sky was constructed at an early
day when stars were novelty and
much admired, and they are stuck in
altogether too thick. In fact so true
is this that tired tOiler cannot go out
in the evening and look up into the
heavens without having his view OBJ
structed on every side with stars. One
or two stars ought to be enough for
any mans needs.
OF course it is true, as we all well
know, that every star is necessary in
order to properly estimate the differ
ence of other stars. If we did not
know the distance to Castor We could
not guage POlluX, and consequently
the exact position Of Jupiter would for
ever remain a mystery.
1t might be said further that the
stars are not distributed with any
order whatever. If the Norman sub
scriber will switch his spectacles
around on the southern part Of the
heavens and look at the S. e. quarter
of sec. 90, township %, range south,
. east, he will see that the air in that
portion has got entirely too much star
light. With a little care and fore
sight these superfuous stars could
have been stuck up in that vacant
spot in the northwest. Before any
thing like this is done, however. care
should be taken TO examine that bare
spot and see if stars could be made
to live there 1t may be an alkali spot
In answer TO the second question II
should be said that authorities diHer
and we cannot afford to take sides IN
a matter of this kind.
All this may not be interesting to the
people who take no interest in as
tronomy. However if we have en-
lichtened one astronomical mind, or
made life brighter and happier for one
poor soul the Eagle will consider it
self amply repaid.
