Pittsburg Times.
The admirable conduct of the
government officials at Washing
ton renders the course of the sem
satioral press in this city the
more shameful by contrast.
Nothing so disgraceful as the be-
havior of two of these papers this
week has ever been known in
the history of American journal
ism. Gross Misrepresentation of
the facts, deliberate invention of
tales calculated to excite the pub
lie, and wanton rccklessness in
the construction of headlines
which outdid even these inyen-
lions have combined to make the
issues of the most widely circu-
lated newspapers 6rebrands scat

good sense of the masses that so
little effect has been produced by
all this stuff. New York Post.

just cause for war, the Ameri-
can government and people would

corresponds to the prime minister in
other nations for more than 40 years.
Wnen nien Tung died chiidiicss iu
1871 it was proposed to place Tsai
Chang, the son Of Prince Kung upon
the throne, but it was deemed in the
highest degree incxpedicnt because it
would ncccssitate the Withdrawal of
Prince Kung from official life. Tsai
Chang is strong man, like his father,
and Pu Wei, his son, who is now -
or 20 years Of age, is said to be very
much like him.
Prince kung was the pioneer in
progress, but he was wise and prudent
and restrained the more radical reform
ers. If he had lived, Kang, the
reckless Cantonese adviser Of the en-
peror, would never have brought about
the trouble that has recently occurred.
The story that Tsi An, the empress
dOwagcr, was once barmad is inter
esting but untrue. Likewise the yarn
that was printed some time ago about
her rescue from drowning by Ii Hung
Chang when she was Il slave and he
young soldier. In the first place there
are no barmaids in China. In the
second place, Tsi An and her sister,
Tsu An, were the daughters ofa Man
chu general, and she never saw or
heard of Ii Hung Chang until long
after she was married to the emperor
Hien Fung and Ii came to Pekin to
receive his reward for putting down
the Tai Ping rebellion. During the
first years Of the regency he made
himself very useful to her. She re-
cognized his ability and harnessed
him to her chariot.
It is equally untrue that the en-
press dowager is opposed to progress.
She Is the most progressive woman in
China. It was largely through her
influence that the Burlingame embassy
was sent out tc open up connection
between China and the world in 1870,
and that in 1872 Yung Wing and 80
other Chinese boys were sent to the
United States to be educated. She
has been the most active and consist
ent supporter Of Ii Hung Chang ever
since he began to introduce modern
notions, and it has been from her that
he has received his greatest encour-
agement.
There is no doubt that Chang Yen
Hoon, the former protege and recent
rival of Ii Hung Chang in the tsupg-
li-yamen. has been banished to III,
over in the interior of Asia, on tbs
borders of Turkestan. There is no
mystery about that, and it might have
been expected for several reasons.
He is Cantonese and the empress is
q Manchu. There is a hereditary
hatred between the two races, which
are as different as the Sweeds and
Spaniards. He is partisan Of Eng
land; she is a partisan Of Russia. He
was born patron of Kang, the Can
tonese reformer. who has made all the
trouble and undoubtedly assisted him
to escape.

The secret Of washing we'll any
wooleu goods lies chiefly in having the
different waters of equal temperature,
with none Of them at any time too hot
to put the hand in comfortably. Soap
should not be rubbed on the article,
but used in the form of thin suds. It
should be good white soap, too. A
little borax is probably the best thing
to soften the water. For washing
blankets or baby flanncls it is to be
preferred. Woolens should not be
wrung by the hand, but rinsed or dried
by squeezing. Woolens Of any sort
should never be allowed to freeze.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-03-24

\. a, Bachman, taX collector, author
ICES the TRIBUNE to stamp as false the
malicious rumor circulated within the
past few weeks to the effect that Mrs.
S. NJ. Dennenny. one of the borough
school teachers, has not paid her taxes.
Mr. Bachman's books show that the lady
paid her taxes within the first sixty days
and there was no basis for the crcnla-
ton of the rumor
Several other taxpayers in town have
been subjected to annoyance from simi-
lar rumors, and If these reports con-
tnue to be spread some one is liable to
find his hands full of trouble, Persons
who pay their taxes promptly every year
deserve credit, and should not be
maliciouSly lied about by parties who
are in position to learn the truth.
