1t HUNG cHANG's VISIT.

One of the results which may follow
the visit of Ii Hung Chang to the
United States is the establishment OF
closer trade relations between this
country and China The Chinese vice
roy has given evidence in his publish
ed interviews that he is keenly alive
to the advantages of closer CONNER
cial relations between the two coun-
tries.
China like Japan has begun the es-
tabHshment of manufactures for the
purpose of producing at home what she
has hitherto done without or has
bought in Europe. What she has need
ed in the erection of her factories and
in raw material for their use she has
also bought in Europe These needs
could as well be supplied from the
United States at a saving of thousands
of miles of travel and large profits paid
to middle men.
In furtherance of a desire for i'm
proved commercial relations, with this
country, Japan has established line
of steamships between Yokohama and
Puget sound ports and is arranging for
United States waits for China to do
the same thing they may wait a long
time, since that country is neither so
progressive nor so far advanced as ia
pan.
What is needed is that American cap
italists or American transportation
lines shall take the matter in hand
There seems little doubt that China
and Japan might easily become the
best market in the world for American
products of the field, mine and fac
tory.
The great Chinaman's selection of
the Irish to compare with his own peo-
pie, in speaking of the exclusion law
makes his complaint much less effec-
tive than it might have been had he
selected the lower class of Italians and
Hungarians who are really inferior to
the Chinese in most respects and have
a much more demoralizing effect on
wages. No labor disturbances are
heard of where the Chinese are en-
ployed like those which occur so fire.
quently in the mining regions of the
east.
There appears to be much greater
reason for excluding the scum of Eu-
rope than there is for excluding the
scum of Asia.

HoW W. eET eoLp.

A subscriber wants to know what
kind of money is used in purchasing
the gold which is being imported from
Europe.
No money is paid. Foreign business
is carried on by system of bills Of
exchange. issued by large banking
houses with establishments on both
sides of the water When the bal
ance of trade is largely and continu-
ously in favor Of Europe for consid-
cradle time it becomes necessary to
square accounts by shipping gold from
America When the conditions are re-
versed it is necessary to ship it back
for the same reason.
It is impossible for the general pub
lie to know anything about the condi-
ton of this trade balance. From re-
ports issued by the government it can
be ascertained how the balance stands
as regards commodities but so many
American securities are sold back and
forth of which the public has no
knowledge that it is impossible for the
uninitiated to tell when gold is likely
to go out or come in.
During the greater portion of the
past three years in which gold has
been going out of the United States the
balance of trade as regards commodi-
ties has been in favor of this country.
It is apparent, therefore, that Europe
has been seeing back American secur-
tiles at a lower price than she paid for
them. A few years ago European cap
italists invested heavily in American
securities and American Industrial
enterprises. These investments have
not proved profitable. The capitalists
OF Europe with American investments
have suffered from the gold standard
and the consequent decline in values
and earnings of property as well as
those of this side.
The change which has occurred in
the direction of the current Of gold, in
dicates that Europe has unloaded
about all the American securities that
she cares to at present and the large
balance of trade in favor of the United
States now existing must be settled
for In some other way. When Ameri-
can bankers will take nothing else the
gold must come.
Foreign gold could not be purchased
with money because there is no such
thing as international money. When
gold moves from one side of the Allan
tic to the other it is weighed just as
wheat is and is paid for by the party
receiving it in paper-not paper mon
ey, for there is no such thing-but pa
per to which somebody has signed his
name.
There is no money in the United
States but gold, if silver be regarded
as being dependent upon gold for re-
naming at it's nominal value. there
fore it is impossible that money should
be paid for this European gold.

SUPPLEMENT
To the Patriotic, Home Loving
People of South Dakota.

The immigration convention held at
Mitchell on the 18th and 10th was a
grand success, as TO attendance, work
accomplished, and the number OF dele
gates lover three hundred, taking part
In the organization Of the South Dakota
Immigration Association. One of the
features OF this movement was the inter
est shown by the attendance OF some OF
the best, wisest, most loyal and
wealthiest citizens of our state. Their
combined good judgment is embodied in
this organization and the platform
which the executive committee takes
pleasure in submitting herewith. The
object of this address is to advise of our
movements each person in the state who
has any interest in our commonwealth,
and to ask their counsel and financial
assistance to carry on the work.
From reports received from the east
It is evident there is an u~ndercurrent of
favorable criticism Of South Dakota,
aud many persons, dissatisfied with pay
ing s. to S. per acre annual rental, with
an equal additional sum for fertilizing
land, are contemplating making a
change. The tide Of immigrants, the
past two years-has located in the
south and in the coast country, but the
poor crops and financial reverses since
1S90-together with the Negro problem,
wasted, poor soii, and unhealthy climate
Of the south-have checked the move
ment in that direction. The question
now agitating the people of the over
crowded cities and thickly populated
rural districts OF the east is, where can
we obtain a home of our own, with the
advantages of schools, churches and
society, tho privileges Of commerce,
railroads and markets; where the
climatic conditions are favorable to
health; where the soil is yet in it's virgin
richness; where a comparative prosperity
may be expected by those who are will
ing to give their best thought and effort
to improve their opportunities and take
advantage Of natural and
adapt themselves to existing conditions2
We who have lived in South Dakota
for the past fifteen years feel that more
valid, honest inducements can be Of
fered the homeseeker In our state than
in any other locality now open to settle
ment. This was the consensus Of
opinion at the convention. This state,
Ike all others, has it's advantages and
disadvantages, and We venture the

station and asked for the bones OF
his relatives. He had been search
ing the town over for a ceytain
black valise in which were stored
the bones of his brother and
cousin. He was going away on
the Coptic and it was imperative
that he get the bones. The police
station was his last resort and
such it proved, for he was imme-
diately locked up.
About a fortnight ago Officer
Needham found black bag label
ed Dynamite" at the corner of
Fort street and Chaplain lane.
Upon opening it two complete
skeletons were found. These were
taken to the police station and
since that time the police have
been after the man who dug up
the bones.
Nothing was found out about
the matter until yesterday.
Following is All Chun's story:
" l came down from Kauai some
time ago and brought the valise of
bones, intending to take them
home to China, according to the
custom of nay people. l took it
into our club house on Hotel street
and left it, thinking it was perfect
ly safe there. Upon returning /
found the valise gone and have
been searching for it ever since"
1t is presumed that some one
took the valise thinking it con-
tanned valuables, and finding moth
ing but bones dropped it on the
street after labelling it dynamite for
joke.
Wong Chan and Wong Kun are
the two Cinnamon who saw All
Chun take the bones into the club
house.

of places of sepulture reads as
follows:

legal right to do so, shall wilfully

away any human body from any
burial place, or shall knowingly
aid in such disinterment, removal
or conveying away, every such

thereto, either before of after the
fact, shall be punished by imprison-
ment at hard labor for not more
than two years or by fine not

HAPPY MARRIAGE AT EVA,
An Employee of Eva Plantation
Becomes a Benedict.


The big plantation was en- fete
on Saturday evening to celebrate
the nuptials of Tom O'Dowda and
Miss q. V. Borba.
Mr.. O'Dowda is sugar boiler and
his bride is sister-in-law of P. Ohrt,
the other knight of the molasses
pan at Eva mill. The newly we'd
ded couple are probably the most
popular at the plantation, and
every one who could possibly do so
attended the ceremony. The plan
tation train carried all hands to a
point near the Catholic church at
HONOLULU, and thence to the
church the happy couple were con-
veyed by the managers carriage,
kindly lent for the occasion by Mr..
Lowrie, who himself and family
followed on foot.
The bride made a lovely picture,
framed in white silk, tulle and
orange blossoms; and the bride
groom was envied by all the
bachelors present. After the Rev.
Father Hermann had performed
the marriage rite, the whole party
returned to the plantation, as they
came, hut with the addition of
showers of rice, good wishes and
congratulations and the footing of
whistles on all sides.
The Social hall was crowded till
midnight with devotees of Terp-
sichore and no one tripped the
light fantastic with more zeal than
the newly made husband and wife.
Ice cream and other delicacies
were served in great profusion.
Mr.. Mac Sorly, mot he of the
twins) was best man and Miss
Hazel Jennings, the bridesmaid.
The presents were numerous and
costly, as all hands both on the
plantation and in the immediate
neighborhood had Wed with each
in contributing to the pleasure and
comfort of the popular couple.
They enter on their joint future
with a beautiful home and the
heartiest good wishes of all who
know them, and everyone hopes
they may enjoy all the happiness
they so well deserve.
