MISTAKEN VIEWS.

Millions of people seem to think
that the object of an education is
to fit men for light and genteel
occupations-in a word, that it is
to enable them to live without
much labor. 1t would be better
for people to remain ignorant than
to get such ideas into their heads.
This mistaken view of education is
a potential cause of crime. 1t
makes Migrants, tramps and rob
hers.
No greater curse can befall a
country than a system which
trains up millions of people who
are too proud to work. IdIeness
causes pauperism, and the masses
defy the law and become the ready
tools of demagogues, who lead
them into revolution or anarchy.
While there is yet time, the
people should remodel their edu-
cational system and encourage in
every reasonable way a practical
training which will fit young peo-
Pile for self supporting industrial
occupations.

HATS VS. THIRST.

Some months ago the ''horrid

the City Council of that thriving
village to pass an anti-ha ordi~

to be cut off from the privilege
of cutting off by q forest of mill
linery the possibility Of a back

The ladies' said nothing at the
time worth recording, and the

ghoulish glee. But though the
dear creatures did not talk much
they kept up a power O. think
ing and conspiring," and now
their time to laugh seems about
TO come. They have started a
revenge movement in the shape
of a petition to the Council to
make seeing a man" between
the acts disorderly con-
duct, and the movement is said
to have strong backing in the
municipal legislature.

"My parents had me treated by q NUM-

too much for them, and after their tem-

growing steadily worse. Thus I grew
into manhood, handicapped by a terrible

THERE is DANGER In THIS,

It is reliably reported that
British capitalists have obtained
control of the Panama canal ems
terprise, ADD theyH have been
granted valuable concessions by
the Columbian Government. The
British purchasers bribed the
French officials of the canal COM
pany, and in addition to the ca
nal. acquired 80 per cent. of the
stock .of the Panama Railroad
company 1t is expected that the
British will proceed to fortify
Colon and Panama to protect the
interests of their commerce. To
make a long story short it may
be said that. despite her many
diplomatic promises England is
getting ready to establish herself
in Central America and snap her
fingers at the Monroe doctrine.
She will try to control this 18th
mus and thus dominate half of
the worlds commerce.
The people of the U1ited States
would be the biggest fools on the
face Of the earth if thy should
submit to this programme. It is
the dutp of this government to
push the Nicaraguan canal as an
American enterprise. and notify
England that she must keep her
hands off Panama, and every
other Spanish-American coun>
try. If this government sits
down and folds its hands, its
old enemies will 5000 have a

the Nicaragua canal. II is a mil
itary and business necessity to
this country, aud while it would
benefit every section, it would be
worth biDiions1of dollars to the

III TAX QUESTION.
some Observations Of Interest To Tag
Payers.

Som Observation of Interest To Tax
The law as passed By the last
Legislature in regard to paying
taxes, has caused quite a stir
among some Of our tax payers.
Daily enquiries are had as to the
time given in which to pay taxes
in order to evade any possible
trouble. The law says the taxes
must be paid by the first court
that comes after the taxes are
due. The taxes are due the first
Monday in September. Supe>
rior Court conyenes on the Sec
ond Monday in September, so in
strick conformity to law only one
week is given in which to pay.
But there seems to be no way
to comply with the law, for the
following reason This Legis
lature made the Railroad CONS
mission a State Board of Equal
cation. Their duties, as most of
us understood them, was to pass
upon the valuations of the differs
ent articles of property as listed
in the State.
They directed the Registers of
Deeds of the various counties
about the 1st of July, to send to
them a correct .and complete abb
stract of the listed taxa5les of
their respective counties, not las
ter than the 3rd Monday in Aug
ust. The average values as fixed
by the Board on the different ar
ticles of property, when com
pared by the values as sent from
this county, showed that we were
in excess of their values more
than one half million dollars, on
land, horses, mules and bicycles,
and that we fell below their
average on cattle, hogs and
sheep about SIG, 900 dollars.
After keeping this abstract for
three weeks, it was returned to
our Register of Deeds, accompa-
MED with the instruction to
charge the tax payers of our
county Is per cent. on value of
cattle, Is per cent. on hogs. and
10 per cent. on sheep to make
good this small deficiency in the
values of these articles of pro
perty. But not one cent of the
half million dollars which we go
above their fixed values is taken
off. Our Register will be unable
to get the books in the hands of
the collectors by the time the
law prescribes owing 10 the
changes made by the Board.
It seems to be about this, if
you Wayne county tax payers
pay too much all right; but if not
enough, we will put it up.

MAKE IT COMPLETE.

Richmond Dispatch.
The plans of those behind the
No avement to create a "civil wal
memorial" out of the Anderson
vile prison grounds ''eontem-
plate the fencing in of the pros
perry, the planting of a hedge on
the line of the old stockade. the
erection of a monument, of a
lodge for the preservation OF
mementoes, and the marking OF
al points of historic interest with
rAarble tablets"
If we may be allowed, we
would suggest another feature.
In order that the memorial may
be truly a historic one, let there
be engraved on the monument
the correspondence between tn 2
Confederate and the Federal au-
thorities touching the exchange
of prisoners. If the North can
stand "perpetuating the memory
of Andersonville," certainly the
South can.
A New England contemporary,
in commenting on the movement,
exclaims:
Then raze the earth of every
sign of the prison pen, level the
earthworks, bury the stumps of
the old stockade. And, if we
may, let the very memory of that
gloomy chapter grow dim with
the advancing years."
That reads as if our contem-
porary had been studying up the
correspondence to which we have
referred.

Mans Best Friend

First and foremost women is
mans best friend
Because she is his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because without her he would
be rude, rough and ungodly.
Because she can with him endure
pain quietly and meet joy gladly.
Because she is patient with him
in illness, endure his fretfulness
and "mothers' him.
Because she teaches him the
value of gentle words, of kindly
thought and of consideration.
Because on her breast he can
shed tears of repentance, and he
is never reminded of them after
ward.
Because she will stick to a man
through good and evil report and
always believe in him if she loves
him.
Because when he is behaving
like atretful boy-and they all do,
you know, at times-with no rea-
son in the world for it, woman's
soft word, touch or glance will
make him ashame of himself, as
he ought to be.
Because without her as an in
centive he would grow lazy, there
would be no good work done, there
would be no noble books written,
there would be no beautiful pic
lures painted, and there would be
divine strains of melody.
Because-and this is the best
reason of all-when the world had
reached an unenviable state of
wickedness the blessed task of
bringing it a Saviour for all man
kind was givingto a women, which
was Gods way of setting his seal
approval on her who is mother,
wife, daughter and sweetheart
and therefore mans best friend.

OUR TRADE WITH JAPAN.

A very practical reason why
Japan should keep on good terms
with us is that our country has
not only been one OF her earliest,
most faithful, and most disinter-
ested friends, but has furnished
her with one of her best markets
abroad.
We have, in fact, for years
been buying of Japan many
times as much as she has bought
of US. But during the last IL
months a marked change has ia
ken place, showing a slight fall
in value in our imports from jas
pan and a vast increase in our
exports to that country. The
former reached, for the last is-
cal year, about $24, 600, 900 or a
decrease of about one-seven
teenth from the year before;
while our exports grew to $13, :
233 $40, an increase of about ives
seYenths.
1t is to be observed, however,
that the fall in prices of some
Japanese articles. notably tea,
has had an effect on the money
valuation of our imports, and,
above all, that these latter are
still nearly double our exports
to Japan. In the year 1895, when
Great Britain sold to Japan five
times as much as she bought
from her, we bought from Japan
six times as much as we sold to
her. The difference has since
diminished, but we r still Ja~
pans very good customer as well
as very good friend.

OVER A THOUSAND JAILED.
Wholesale arrests of Chinese by Jap
dneSe Officials on the Island
of Formosu.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 90.-News comes
by steamer from Hongkong that over 1000
Chinese were arrested in Formosa by
the Japanese authorities late in
July and thrown into Jail. The
cause of their arrest is given
by Japanese officers as the infraction by
the Chinese of the landing regulations
published in the twenty-ninth year OF
Meiii According to these regulations
Chinese are not allowed to land exec pt at
the four ports of Kelung, Tansui, Am
ping and Tkao, and then they must be
provided with certificates issued by Chi
nese officials at ports from which they
came. The Japanese claim that the
Chinese came from Annoy and Canton in
junks and landed on the island al various
convenient points, thus violating the
regulations.
1t is stated in China that, as matter of
fact, these arrests are the outcome of the
recent riots at Taipeh, capital of For
mosa. Two months ago Cinnamon about
Taipeh refused to register as japanese
subjects on certain days and to permit their
queues to be cut off, as the new Japanese
regulations provided.
They attacked the Japanese quarter of
Taipeh. A battle ensued and over 100
were killed. 1t was claimed at the time
that the Chinese of Formosa were abetted
by rich Chinese of Annoy and Canton.
The recent landing OF 1000 men from
those ports corrooorated the suspicious
which were then entertained. The Jap
anese have thus put the Chinese in Jail to
prevent their joining the native Chinese
rebels, who are still trying to drivetheir
japanese masters out of the island.

Government Dragnet May EntangIe
Many Aen Prominent in
the forth.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Aug. 3d.
The business and social circles of this
place were shaken to-day on the arrival of
the Tacoma Ledger containing a sensa-
tional expose OF alleged crookeduess on
the part OF customs officials here.
The article in the Ledger purported to
have been sent from here as special, but
in reality was an interview with a special
treasury agent and Chinese inspector.
The Ledger says it is probable that war
rants will be issued by the United States
authorities within a few days for the ar
rest OF several persons in the Puget Sound
custom district for completely in the al
legged landing of Chinese in the United
States.
1t is also probab Bile that the dragnet
which has been put into operation by the
Government will bring within its entan-
clement persons of prominence in politi-
cal and social life in other parts of the
State.
For several months 1t has been matter
of more or less publicity that an unusu-
ally large number of Chinese have been
passed into the United States through
this port.
An investigation by Government off,
Gals, it is said, shows that there has been
not only wholesale smuggling of Chinese,
but that a large amount of contraband
goods of various kinds has been brought
