VIcERoY Ii Hung Chang to
Viceroy Hanna:
How rich are you?
Did you make any ofyour money
reducing workingmen's wages2
If the free coinage of silver
would, as you say, tend to reduce
the wages Of workingmen, why are
you opposed to it?
Who gave you all the money you
are spending now?
What do you promise in return
for it?
How do you make Mr.. McKin-
ley do what you tell himl
Will he keep on doing it when
he is president?
How did you get hold of'him
first?
Do you consider that those notes
are good investment?

ever, prove defective, one being extreme

hardly discernible. The registration
agent declined to accept the negatives,
and ordered the Cinnamon 10 have 9TH

the agent had left the vicinity and also
left Hong Tom without registration

his arrest when the deputy marshal MAS
ordered to round up the Chinese residents
of the place and take into custody all
found without certificates. The China
man furnished satisfactory proof that the
above were the exact facte in the matter,
aud he was given mis- freedom by the

my life and have many times churned
for an hour before butter would appear,

Benton county, last Sunday, that they

the four bodies were inferred in Kings

1T WILL BE PEACE

It is plain from the tone of both the
German and British press that there is
no more probability now of a war be-
tween Great Britain and the German
empire about the Transvaal affair than
there is of hostilities between the
former country aud the United States
over the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute. The papers Of both the old world
powers have very significantly modi-
fed the character Of their uttersnces,
and in the main express opinions
clearly indicative of the belief that war
is unnecessary and unlikely.
There are doubtless several reasons
for the change in the temperature of
the English aud the Germans. Very
likely Emperor William is not nearly
as ferocious as he sounds and looks,
and the promptness with which Eng
land commenced the preparations for
a conflict assisted in bringing him to
speedy realization of the indelicacy
and incaution Of some of his remarks,
and the tip has gone out that William
did not really mean all he said. Fam
lily influences have also been used to
temper the imperial heat and slow
down the imperial tongue.
The business men of both countries
probably consider that an interna-
tional war is more potent in destroy
ing than in promoting trade, and be-
yond question the common, work-a-
day people of both nations have lit
tie sympathy with the idea Of impet-
uously rushing into bloody battle
about something that can be adjusted
with fewer tears and no corpses, Or
phans and widows, by the diplomatic
representatives of the governments in
terested.
1t will be we'll not only for the coun-
tries Immediately involved, but for the
entire world, if armed conflict is avoid
ed. A war between two countries 30
closely identified with the social, COM
mercisl and industrial progress of the
human race would certainly be disas-
trous in it's effects all round and could
not fail to arrest in lamentable meas
ure the trend of civilization. All clear
thinking friends of humanity should
be glad If England and Germany settle
their differences in the court of diplo-
macy instead of on the field of battle.

A MORAL WAVE INVITED

Land and Water is the name of a
bright, weekly journal devoted to real
estate. and mining and other indus
tries, that is published in this city. It
is not SO thoroughly committed to the
commercial, financial and baser world,
however, as to be blind to the poetic
and lighter side Of life. In its last
issue it has something to say editor
tally, regarding the large hats worn by
ladies, or some of them, at the the
aters, and exclaims: "The nuisance is
prevalent in Los Angeles just now,
and though it is supposed to be
winter many of our fair wives
and daughters adorn their heads
with variegated flower gardens
or expensive pathological specimens"
In trying to check the growth of very
pronounced evil the editor of Land
and Water does we'll, but, if not con-
sidered impertinent, will he kindly tell
The HERALD, and incidentally others,
the number of fair wives and brunette
ones he possesses. THE HERALD is not
interested in knowing the number of
daughters he has, but it does confess
to palpitating desire to know the
number of his wives. If he has more
than six, fair or brunette, then The
HERALD is inclined to invite the coming
of an able-bodied moral wave to strike
the town.

that he did not get into the peniten-

A QUESTION OF RIGHTS

Editor w. T. Stead, famous as the
most sensational of English journal
lists of the present day, evidently be-
lieves in limited application of the
golden rule. BE seems imbued with
the belief that only some of the people
Of the world have rights. He says: "It
is one thing to arbitrate between two
countries like England and the United
States, which are civilized, and another
to 60 to arbitration with an uncivilized,
IN anarchistic, revolution-ridden horde
of halfbreeds who call themselves re-
public in Venezuela"
He also claims that the English
speaking man. whether under Stars
and Stripes or the Union Jack, has
right to grow and expand his frontier
at the expense of half savage half
breeds who are unable to govern their
own country and who spend their time
In chronic revolution.
Mr.. Stead would probably have an
interesting time explaining logically
just why an act which would be wrong
II attempted against civilized coun-
try becomes right when ssmi-civil-
ICED state is the intended victim. Tt
probably does not occur to M. Stead,
who, in his time, has had an abundance
to say about right and wrong, and has
professed to be an exponent Of the
former, that rights are not necessarily
the product of any particular degree
Of civilization, that they are inher-
ent. The fact that one nation to
dispute may stand in the vanguard of
Divilization and the other be at
the outpost of barbarism in no way
justif1es ignoring the merits of the
claims advanced by them respectively.
Wealth and learning do not make
wrong right; poverty and ignorance do
not make right wrong.
Just where the English speaking
man, whether under the Stars and
Stripes or the Union Jack, derived the
right to expand his frontiers to suit
his own sweet will, Mr.. Stead has prob
ably not explained, and probably never
vii explain And the assertion that
