IL Is estimated that about one-half OF
the earth holds the other half in what
our anti-expansion friends are pleased
TO call bondage. Nearly one-half of the
earth's surface is held as colonies. or
under protectorates of one form or an
other. As a rule the smaller the nation
the bigger its colonial empire. With
the great territory and population of
roe tnited states is associated only a
very moderate colonial domain for all
the unusual extension created by the
results of the war with Spain. Holland
on the other hand, with only home
population of about four million and
half has a colonial population of nearly
forty millions. Spain and Denmark are
about the only countries whose colonial
possessions and population are no
greater than those at home.

Efforts that are now being made for
the release OF Mrs. Florence Maybrck
through Ambassador Choate are based
on so much more sane grounds than
any that have been advanced before
that there would seem to be a reason
able prospect of success. The stirring up
of this case for the last ten years from
time to time has alternately awakened
the sympathy of great majority Of
American people and made them rather
tired. The campaign which the late
Gal Hamilton waged in behalf of the
prisoner was hysterical and the ground
that because the prisoner was an
American woman the question OF her
release was "a proper subject for inter-
ference by our government. was plainly
absurd, lt is not understood THAI our
Ambassador to England is proceeding
on any such short sighted theory but rs
acting only in accordance with his duty
to such Americans whose interest In
behalf OF Mrs. Maybrick is sufficient To
enlist his services as they would be
properly asked for i'm behalf OF any rea
sonable mission. There is really not
much about Mrs. Maybrick's case To
enlist sympathy. Her husband was un-
doubtedly an uncomfortable chap to
i've with but her own department was
not OF the sort to be commended 10
young married women. And If the evil
dence which resulted On her conviction
ana sentence to death was insufficient
To connect her with the crime OF muir
der 1t was certainly ample to demon
strate desire TO be well rid OF her
husband and an attempt 10 hasten his
departure from life. The English gov
ernment changed the sentence OF death
10 life imprisonment and the steps now
Delhs taken for her release after ten
years in penal servltude are understood
10 be advanced by her counsel Lord
Charles Russell, ON the ground that she
was not proved 20 have committed
murder but only to have ATTEMPTED il
And as the indictment under which she
was found guilty was not TO the latter
enect she Is illegally held. Such a prom

The recent reports which indicate
that the Chinese copper coins known
as cash" are disappearing because OF
the.f appreciating value and that sill
yer coins are to fill the vacancy thus
created in the currency of China lends
special interest 10 a statement recently
prepared by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics regarding the currency of
China. The money of China, 1t says.
is uncertain as to quantity and quality.
No accurate estimate has been made of
the amount OF money i'm circulation in
the Empire. while no accurate state
ment can be made OF what its value
will be tomorrow. Based upon silver
it's value fiuctuates with the changes
l nthe market price of silver. The cop-
per cash" valued at about one-t tenth
OF cent. is the actual circulating me-
dium, while the tael is the nominal
standard for larger sums, IL being
merely a given weight of silver, and
not coin. Actual silver circulates In
two forms. the dollar and the ''sy-
Gee" The dollar was originally the
Mexican dollar, and became a popular
and generally accepted form OF cur
rency wherever obtained. So conveni,fit
was IL that large quantities were i'm
ported for use as currency More re-
Gently however, mints for the coinage
OF dollars purporting 10 be Of weight
and fineness equal to Mexican dollars
have be n established. not by the CEN
tral government. but by the authorities
OF the various provinces, and the re-
suit is that the rivalry between these
provincial mints has reduced the
weight and fineness OF the dollars"
which they issue until the provincial
silver dollars" are looked upon with
distrust. Additional mints, however.
are being established. the machinery
for them being from the United States
Some half dozen of the cities OF China
now have their mints for the coinage
OF dollars" and work is i'm progress
upon local mints I'm other cities. 80
that by the end OF the present year. ac-
cording To a recent issue OF the North
China Dali News. at least ten different
kinds of silver coins purportng to be
dollars" will be upon the market. In
addition TO this uncertainty may be
pointed out the fact that the "tae"
differs i'm various cities and provinces,
the weight OF silver recognized as a
tael being greater at some points than
AZ others. Even the quantity OF silver
cast I'm the form Of shoe with the
weight written upon II in Chinese char
acters. is somewhat uncertain as TO its
value. both by reason Of the constant
fluctuation In the price OF the silver
which II contGans and the uncertainty

suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex.
haustion and sometimes the heart acts
badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis.

SAMUEL HANNAH DEAD,

The older residents of Canton were
surprised to hear of the death of Sam
uel Hamman at / o'clock at 921 South
Mckinley avenue. He was working at
his occupation with the Danner Mfg.
Co. on Tuesday, hut complained that
evening. Later he was stricken with
paralysis, which rendered him uncon-
scious, and remained 80 until his death.
The deceased was member of the
Grand Council OF American Mechanics,
and trusted and respected employe of
the Danner Mig. 90. He was man of
singularly pure life, quiet and unassum-
ing snd died one of earth's noblemen.
He leaves wife, Eliza, and two daugh-
ters, Ada, and Mrs. W. L. Lesher, OF
Alibere, Kan. He was born in Paris

in the county, he went to Kansas and
returned to Canton ten years ago, and
has lived here ever since. Funeral from

Sunday. Services will he conducted by
Rev. Ford, of Massllon, assisted by
