AS THE DAYS GO BY WE LEARN.
At the meeting of the Common Coun-
ell Tuesday night. we learned still more
that if the Hon. j. Frank EaSt was as
good q Councilman as he Is q friend and
advocate of the Pender Water Co., he
would deserve reelection. People, how
ever, should not complain of Mr.. East's
methods in making the selections he
did, since he ascertained from Clerk
Steed how the different members voted,
stating that none but advocates OF the
Pender Water Co. should go on the
Conference Committee.
We must say that we admire Mr..
East's candor. Many a man similarly
situated would have shown his friend
ship in an underhanded manner; but
came out open and above board, let
the people out of consideration alto
gether. pinned his flag to the Pender
Water Company. announced his inten-
ton of appointing only it's friends, had
the clerk call the roll according to the
last vote on the subject. and named the
men he wanted.
We suppose that the people natural
ly prefer this mode, since due notice
is given. and they can go about at
once undoing any serious threatening
harm.

THE YOUTsEY TRIAL.

The trial of Youtsey, which recently
took place IN Kentucky, seems to have
been travesty. The man was suffer
ing from severe physical or mental
ailment and was not able to take part
in his own trial, to confront his wit
nesses, to face the jury, or to make a
statement. Under these circumstances
the trial of Youtsey was nothing more
than farce and his conviction to the
penitentIary for life was disgrace.
Youtsey had virtually turned states
evidence and had given important tes-
timony which resulted in the convic-
ton of two accompllces in the murder
OF William Goebel. He was doubtless
promised some kind of immunity, but
instead of that was carried into court
on cot, placed in the door with his
head covered, and the wheels of Gus
t1ee" were allowed to pass over his
PROSTATE body. During the French
revolution one of the victims of the
reign of terror fell dead at the guillo-
tine, but the knife was made to come
down all the same and do its dee6Iy
work. The Goebel frenzy III Kentucky
seems to have brought scandal upon
the courts ->of Kentucky-Savannah

CHAMBERLAIN's FAR-REACHING
SCHEMES.

The topic of the hour in English
public life, and one of interest to
American manufactures, is what is to
believe of the foremost figure in Eng
lish public life, or rather what that
foremost figure, the Rt. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, is going to do to English
public life.
It is certain he will not be Prime
Minister, at one time thought to be the
goal of his, what his critics term, ram
pant ambition, but will retain the colo
NAL Office. Again ensconsed there, it
is said he will begin to carry into effect
his dream of a cooperative empire,
where the ports of all the empire shall
be closed to foreign goods, but will
open to those from other ports of the
empire.
Although England itself is a free
trade country, It's colonies, Australia
and Canada particularly, place rather
stiff tariff imports on goods entering
their ports, British goods not excepted
But the story Is Chamberlain will not
consi .he plan for imperial confed-
Grafton until free trade within the en-
pre- is assured. However, as taxation
of British imports in Canada and in
Australia is their chief source of rev.
-enue, If Chamberlain plan to make
the British Empire closed corpora
ton, trading with itself alcne, is to be
carried into effect, the first step must
be to arrange tis cal reforms for the col
onies SO they may exist without tariff
duties.
1t is somewhat remarkable that at
the beginning of the twentieth century
a scheme OF making the British Empire
a little world within itself, as far as
trading goes, should be seriously con-
sldered, YeSwhen the inroads Amer
ican >shippers and manufacturers are
making into British colonies, Egypt,
and particularly South Africa, are con-
sidered, there is not much wonder
that England begins to think of taking
steps to protect herself. She argues,
probably, why should we spend our
millions to- reclaim South Africa from
an oligarchy, make it free country
and give trade and commercial life
chance to thrive unless we are to be
the beneficiaries?"

The Twentieth Century Edition of
the Christian Index, official organ Of
the colored Methodist Episcopal
Church, is most interesting publiea-
ton. It is issued from the A. M, E
Publishing House at Jackson, Tenn,
and is entirely the work of negroes
every article being from some man or
woman of the colored race, and the
mechanical work done by them as well.
In thought and expression the contrl-
buttons are worthy of place in any de-
nominational publication, and the typ
ography and press work surpass very
many periodicals issued by the white
churches, Peculiar interest, therefore,
attaches to this issue of the Index, as
it exemplifies what the negro who is
earnest IN his desires and al ms may ac-
eomplish

OUR POLICY IN CHINA.

AhO OAAASSO SON6I uAA6At, bhAO0SA
Lii Hung Chang and Prince Ching, has
submitted propositions as basis for
peace negotiations. Tie ENJOYS pro-
mise, on the part of the government,
indemnity for legation and other pro-
perty de ,tl Dyed, punishment under Chi
nese law for princes and leaders in re-
cent outrages, modification of treaties,
and guarantees for the future. The en-
voys ask the withdrawal of the allied
troops from Pek1n, the cessation of
hostilities, and the reinstatement of
the tsung Ii yamen.
This is practically an acceptance of
the term submitted by the United
States, except on one important point,
relating to the punishment of offend
ers. In the first note of the State De-
partment at Washington it was stipu-
lated that there should be on the part
of the Chinese government indemnity
for the past, adequate guarantees for
the future, and punishment for
those responsible for recent outrages in
Pekin and elsewhere.
In the American notes in reply to the
propositions submitted by Russia, Ger
many, and France the same points
were emphasized, and it was stipulated
that the princes and other leaders to be
punished should be designated by the
representative of the allied powers at
Pekln.
The United States dissented from
the Russian proposition to withdraw
Internationally the allied troops from
PekIn; from the German proposition to
make the punishment of guilty parties
a preliminary to peace negotiations;
from the French proposition stipulat
ing the permanent occupation of places
near Pekin and the razing OF the Taku
forts, but approved that part of each
proposition which was in harmony with
the spirit of the American note.
In all this our government has acted
openly, independently, and in way to
retain the friendship of the European
powers and to secure action on the part
of the Chinese government. But, after
all is said and done about compensa-
ton for the outrages IN the past and
guarantees for the future, there must
be insistence on the main proposition
punishment for the guilty parties. The
Chinese people, as we'll as the Chinese
government, mist understand that the
severest penalties are demanded to
meet barbarities like the late Boxer
outrages.
Pekin has been occupied and the
Chinese government has been driven
from its capital. The imperial army
has been defeated The Forbidden City
has been formally occupied by the al
lied troops. It remains now for the Uni
ted States government to insist that
the punishment for the real offenders
shall be adequate to their crimes.

Sufferers from this horrible malady
