Want TO Legalize Prlzc-Fiehting.

Among the petitions presented in the low

was one containing what purported 10 be
resolutions adopted at a public meeting

A missionary just returned from China
caused a sensation at the session of the
American Baptist missionary union at
Pttsburg last Monday by making this blunt
declaration in a speech on the financial af-
fairs of the union: 81 say to John D..
Rockefeller, or to any man who offers us
money: First consecrate yourself to God,
make your gift clean and we will accept it..
Otherwise we should not touch it, don't
say this about John d. Rockefeller alone,
but to all who make such offers" The
point of these remarks lay in their applica.
tion-John D. Rockefeller, the head of the
Standard Oil trust, having offered the un-
ion a gift of quarter of million dollars
towards wiping out its Indebtedness as soon
as as much more money has been raised by
subscription. A painful silence follow
ed the missionary's deliverance; then a
few delegates applauded, and then the
chairman "fnally dismissed the matter
by saying: "When our brother has been
longer in this country and becomes better
acquainted he will modify his views" Did
the chairman mean that a few months
residence in the United States will tend to
confuse the missionsry's ideas as to the
fundamental lines of right and wrong in
the requirement of property?

section of his native state until the war of

under General jackson in the battle of
New Orleans. There he displayed such
daring bravery that he was the recipient of
a high personal compliment from General
Jackson. When steamboats, were invented

While ex-senator Edmunds is an Amer
lean of Americans in his sympathy and

had no right to take such action at this
time. "When there was war between the
North and the South in this country the
Washington government protested strong
ly against the recognition of the Confed-
eracy by foreign powers. England and
France needed the protest for some time,
but eventually belligerency was acknowl-
edged. At the time of the protest against
such recognition there was in the South a
regularly organized government. AS far
as my information goes, Cuba has not
reached such a stage as was reached by
the Southern states. She is still an in
tegral part of Spain. The Cuban cause is
represented primarily by the military pow
ers.'

A states Attorney who Probably Wishes
He Had.

Judge Thompson has rendered decision
refusing to grant to Isaac n. Chase,
former states attorney of Franklin county,
a certificate for his salary for the last six
months of his term of office. The adverse
decision is given on the ground that Mr..
Chase did not perform as he ought the du-
ties of his office This means that he did
not make what Judge Thompson considers
a proper attempt to enforce the prohibi-
tory law. A hearing was held in his case
at st. Adams early in April. Oln Merrill
was a witness against Mr.. Chase, saying in
letter to the judge, in substance, that he
considered that Mr.. Chase had violated his
oath of Office in not enforcing the law ac-
against liquor dealers stopped as soon as a
first offence had been proved, and that the
method adopted by this official amounted
to a sort of "bunco license"
In his defence Mr.. Chase claimed to
have endeavored to enforce the law faith
fully he had proceeded against its viola
tors, he said, whenever complaint was
made, and it was through misapprehenson
that in one particular case, that of the
hotel at Enosburg Falls, proceedings were
brought for first offence when there had
in fact been a prior conviction. These
excuses did not satisfy Judge Thompson
and Mr. Chase is therefore out 5000 on his
salary account.
There are evidently ''reasons" why the
states attorneys all over the state are more
active than they have ever been before.
Let the good work go on.

Russian Fanatics Buried Alive.

Details have been received from Odessa
of the self-immolation of a number of the
fanatical followers of Raskolniki, a report
of which was first received two weeks ago.
More than "a bodies of persons who were
buried alive have been recovered from
series of pits near Tirespol. The sect is
survival of the old dssenters, who were
prosecuted in Russia for two centuries, and
who have invented doctrine of salvation
by martyrdom. They are now practicing
self-immolation. Six bodies were acct
IDENTIFY discovered on the premises of Feo-
dore Kovaleff, who confessed that he Lad
walled up in his celler nine living persons,
including his wife and two younger chill
dren. He further admitted that he had
buried the other six, while they were still
alive, in a specially excavated pit eight
feet deep. Kovaletf declares that all these
were voluntary victims. In an adjoining
garden, belonging to Matvei Subkula, four
bodies were discovered in pit. Sukula
says that these were buried alive at their
own request. Many tourists have visited
the scene.

Mr.. AIdrich's Tarin Bill.

The Senate committees revision of the
Dingley tariff bill was formally launched
upon the sea of Senate debate by Mr.. AL
drich's speech on Tuesday. 1t is note
worthy that Mr.. Aldrich, the staunchest of
Republicans, and one of the most uncom-
promising of protectionists, states his be-
lief that the time has come when the tariff
should be revised on moderate and perma-
nent lines, and that the sentiment of the
country will not tolerate the imposition Of
tariff duties which are excessive or need
lesslY high. The features of the Senate
bill which will be most criticised as they
affect the everyday life of the people are
the tax of ten cents pound on tea, and the
sugar schedule with the increased profits
which it will turn into the pockets of the
sugar trust. A large part of Mr.. Aldrich' S
speech was devoted to defence and eX-
PLANTATION of this schedule. His claim is,
in brief, that it is founded upon the ne
cessities of revenue and upon purpose
to afford proper encouragement for the
cultivation of beet sugar.
1t is the committees estimate that,
should this Senate draft become law, the
tariff proper will produce a customs in
come for the next fiscal year of SlS2, IA :
0O0 Adding to this internal revenue re-
ceipts of $4,000 600, post-otfice receipts
of 500, 227, ,076, and miscellaneous receipts
of $50, 900, 600, and there will result total
revenue for the fiscal year 1S9S Of S469,-
671, ,076-leaving an estimated excess OF
receipts over expenditures for that year OF
only 81, 725 OPS. This is close figuring,
and it is to be hoped that, should the bill
go into actual operation, it may show a
margin on the right side of the balance.

Not So Sure About Tea.
From the Boston Journal

In reply to criticism of the increased
revenue taxes on beer and tobacco and the
new ten-cent duty on tea, Senator AL
drich explains that these were selected as
articles in voluntary use-that is, practi-
cally luXuries- and that it was believed
that they could bear the enhanced taxa
tion better than necessary articles or the
raw materials of manufacturing. So far
as beer and tobacco go, this reasoning is
undoubtedly sound, but the expediency of
removing tea from the free list, where it
has been for 25 years, has not yet received
convincing demonstration.
