CHINESE SOLDIERS.
A Remarkable Promotion--How the on.
GERS Rob the Government.

A Remarkable Promotion--How the on.
GERS Rob the Government.
A young man from my native town
entered the army, and by diut CT nard
lighting and real merit rose to TIE rank
Of brigadier general, but with him at
every promotion rose his brother, wien
will call x, who had not met him
for years and who,was peacefully occu-
pied as cook in distant opium den.
This is how it was done. The soldier,
after each engagement in which he dis
tinguished himself, reported imaginary
deeds of valor performed by his brother,
and his word was taken. One day the
cook in the opium den, who had never
even seen battle, read his name in The
Gazette and found to his surprise that
he had attained the rank of colonel in
the imperial forces.
Military service is in many ways
very remunerative to the officers. They
enroll any men they like, and they al
ways draw the pay for many more men
than are actually in the army. About
70 per cent of the full number of men
nominally serving and for whom pay is
drawn is the average strength Of the
forces, even under Ii Hung Changes
comparatively honest officers, while
elsewhere 100 men on paper usually
mean but 40 or 80 in the flesh. On re-
view days the officers engage q sufficient
number of soldiers by the day to make
the army look all right. But there are
other sources Of profit besides dealing
in dummy soldiers. The live ones hay }
to wear uniforms and to eat, and both
food and clothes are supplied at extor.
tionate prices by the officers, so that Of
the taels per month paid by the gov
eminent for each soldier, about one-fifth
or less reaches the pockets of the men.
All this refers to the "braves' who are
only engaged during wartime and are
disbanded the moment the fighting Is
over wherever they may happen to be
and nearly always without the means
Of returning to their homes, thus keep
ing up the supply of armed robbers all
over the empire.
As to the soldiers of the standing
army in times Of peace, they are, with
the exception Of the Mantchoo garrison,
so wretchedly paid that its strength ex-
lists only ON paper. The meu enlist and
regularly draw their pay--8 shillings
per month-and have scarcely any fur
Their connection with the military serv-
ice. The few that go on duty in the city
gates live entirely ON hribes. The Man
chu force under the Tartar general. OIL
the other hand, is well paid, but these
soldiers do no fighting. They are only
engaged in guarding the city against
Chinese rebels. They live IN "a separate
quarter to that occupied by the Chinese,
on whom they often make rnprovoked
attacks Thus fights between the Chi.
nese and the Tartar soldiery are of com
mon occurrence, and as these Tartar sol
diers are not under the jurisdiction O
the civil law their outrages .inyariabl,
go UNPUBLISHED. Naturally there is III
love lost between the city guards ant

THE SCHOOL APpoRrIoNMENT
Register Rogers Replies to Criticisms
Made by Supt. Howell.

The interview with Superintendent
| Howell, recently published in this paper,
| criticising the manner i'm which the pub
| lie school fund of this county was appor-
| toned by the board of county commits
sioners, has aroused a great deal of in
terest and discussion.
Speaking Of the matter yesterday
Register of Deeds Rogers, who is also
clerk of the board, said that in nearly
all of his calculations Superintendent
| Howell starts out by stating what he
simply supposes to he a fact, but is in
reality very incorrect, and that hence
| his conclusions are erroneous.
For instance: He has said, continued
NJ Rogers, that the board only gave
I,aleigh township its per capita of the
two thirds required to be apportioned per
capita. Now take two-thirds Of the
school fund and divide it per capita and
| it will give S102S, while in fact the
| board gave Raleigh S1.40 per capita. So
Mr. Howell is mistaken. Just 3715 cents
per capita.
Nearly all his other calculations are
equally erroneous. He complains that
there are too many small districts in the
country. Grant that there are. The
board did not make them They once
had the Go in nearly every instance. But
in some places the pupils have moved
from one district to another. Never
since l have been secretary to the old or
new board have they created district
with less than 65 pupils, except for geo
graphical or other reasons, granted by the
school law. The law only says it shall
not be created, it does not say that
district shall be changed or discontinued
as soon as it has less than Go pupils. There
are creeks, branches and bad roads, etc,
in the country. / take it that the board
would gladly improve the school district
in the country if they could.
And as to the business of the appor-
tionment to the districts as they exist,
the board gave Raleigh township 81 40
per capita to both white and colored. 1t
gave to every district in the country with
100 pupils or more just 81. 40 per capita.
Weak districts in the country were given
little more than $1.40 in order to try
TO give them an equal length of school
as those with 100 pupils or more.
Now, if districts outside of Raleigh
with 100 pupils or more can have a
longer term of school with $1.40 per
capita than Raleigh with her 5000 and
more pupils, all near together, why it is
not the fault of the board of county
commissioners or the apportionment, but
rather the fault of the management in
Raleigh.
Il wish also to say that / will gladly
explain to and show the books to any
patron of the schools in Raleigh, and !
have no hesitancy in saying that l feel
sure they will go away convinced that
the board acted the very best possible
with tha IiohfS before thnrn -

GET UP FACTS.

~ When people write letters about
the Islands they should inform
themselves upon the subject in
hand. The Philadelphia Officer
who has INDUCED himself in criti-
cising the government, should have
read up the constitution before he
ventured to make the remark that
the Japanese "are not debarred
from citizenship, the only require
ment being that they read and
write the English language" Now
it is very evident that the gallant
officer did not carry his studies into
the constitution far enough, for if
he had, he would have found that
an alien may be admitted to citizen
ship only upon the condition that
'he shall be citizen or subject Of
country having express treaty
stipulations with the Republic of
Hawaii concerning naturalization"
There are other stipulations but
the one quoted above quite settles
the matter. rt
1t is a great pity that people will
write without adequately posting
themselves, Itspoils the graceful
turn of their sentences and initiates
against the brilliance of their dict
ion. Of what advantage are the
keen political forecasts, the deep
reasoning of the gallant follower of
the sea, if the premiss upon which
the whole fairy structure hangs, is
false? 1t becomes nothing more
solid than dream, an airy nothing
which, flung upon cold, hard
world, is shipwrecked on the pitiless
rocks of fact. More close study of
the subject is recommended to the
gallant man of the sword.
