~HE death Of General Garcia
served TO draw attention again
TO Garcia's mission 20 Washing
ton. Garcia was at the head OF a
Cuban commission the chief concern of
which was 90 raise money in the United
States TO pay the Cuban soldiers. Cash
Is needed 10 put Cuba on her feet. II is
highly desirable that the Cuban army
should disband and the soldiers
20 the pursuits OF peace. The fields are
lying idle and waste, but they could
quickly be made 20 yield generously IL
the native population were in a posi-
tion 70 engage once more In agriculture.
The Cuban commission suggested origi-
nally a loan. 20 be guaranteed by his
government and secured by the cuban
revenues ms the promises Of the Cuban
provisional assembly. We Will ba in a
position for some 20 come TO protect
such financial interests and the plan
would be both feasible and constitu-
tionsl. An outright gift Of the money,
as has been proposed in Washington,
would be wrong from every point Of
view.

The Census OF 1900.

ONE Of the important measures
~ coming before congress this vim
ter is the census bill. Senator
Carter is Stocking after II. It's his petbil.
When Carter landed the chairmanship
of the senate committee on census, he
LANDED a good thing. Republicans arc
greatly interested in the bill on ac-
count Of the fact that provision will he
made for appointments outside the clas-
sifed service. When the censu burel
is running under full head Of steam
there is employment in Washington for
from 1000 to 100 clerks. TO say moth
ing of a great army of enumerators
throughout the country. An attemrt
was made TO put the bill through last
summer in order to provide fat Jobs
for the high priced heads of divisions
and TO get the specialists in their sew
eral nelds. The work was a little to
raw. The bill passed the sena,e ana :
now before the house. The sentiment
of the house Is reported to be i'm favor
OF passing the bill without material
amendment.
As compared with the too exhaustive
work undertaken by the census OF 1890,
the plan of operations provided for in
the present bill is altogether better. The
last census attempted 10 secure statis-
tics for thirteen schedules. ard the re-
suits, 10 say the least. were indifferent.
much OF the data published being so
incorrect and incomplete as to he mis-
leading and worse than useless. The
present scheme contemplates only four
schedules. population. morality, agricul-
ture manufactures
In other regards h census OF 1900
will show no Improvement over that of
1880. The attempt TO place the census
bureau under civil service rules. so Gs
to AXE Il as far as practicable out of
politics, failed utterly In the senate. and
the house will acquiesce. The bill pro-
vides that the employees Of the bureau
shall be appointed by the secretary Of
the interior and be subject to such O
animation as the director OF he census
may prescribe. This means that the
appointments will be political rs befor.
and that the vast army of census en-
pIoyes will understand when they are
appointed that they are 20 help the re-

sheriff. BY the time he reached his
refuge public meetings and an ~organi-
cation were under way.
An executive committee was elected
with a merchant at it's head. Every
hundred men was formed into a mill
tary and elected its officers.
The sheriff was notived that the COM
mittee would hold him responsible for
his prisoner. and the arming and drill
ling began. King was shot on a We'd
nesday. BY Saturday night 5000 men
were under arms. Casey was taken
from the Jail together with another
man named Cora. who had killed a
United States marshal. The trial Of
Casey is said to have been the first
fair murder trial that had been seen in
san Francisco for years. In fact no

Of the laws Of California. m no sent
ence was executed without the APPROX
al Of three delegates from every com

King died Of his wound on MONDAY.
his slayer and Cora were tried on
Tuesday. and On Wednesday Kings
funeral and the hanging OF Casey and
Cora were attended by a c%oncourse Of
people greater than that which had
gathered at the Jail. The publication
Of politics then began in earnest. Bal

outgoing vessels. where they found old
friends leaving the state by hundreds
without invitation.
There were plenty OF honorable and
respectable people In the city whose
conservative characters would not per-
init them to countenance this violation
OF the law. so they formed a Law and
order league and attempted TO over
throw the committee. but II was use
less. The governor Of the state put
sherman in command OF the state
troops in San Francisco. but Sherman
found the executive committe was
commanding them, and soon resigned.
The day IL ~disbanded the entire pop
ulation of San Francisco didn't feel
large enough to celebrate h compile
tion Of the work that had been done
and the whole state was invited. The
buildings were decked with flowers and
flags. brass bands paraded the streets,
and orators delivered addresses publicly

China has markets which we can get at

advocates Of an open-door policy in the
far East. or by seizing n slice of the Chi

present there is no American who would
like the United States either to hasten
the downfall of China or to appropriate
by force what Is now Chinese territory.

door.
