OF NEWS FROM CHINA.

Chinese mendacity has long been proverbial.
To what extent the reputation is deserved we
need not now consider. What is obvious is that
in the present case China has been more lied
about than lying No feature of the campaign
has been more conspicuous than the prOfusiOn
variety and effrontery of false reports More
than once the world was assured that all the
foreigners and native Christians in Peking had
been slaughtered. 1t was treated to narrowing
details Of the tragedy. The Russian Minister
had been boiled in olive are not sure that the
precise brand of oil was newfoundland his
wife was prodded to death with sharp sticks;
women and children were slowly sliced to death:
husbands and fathers themselves killed their
wives and children to save them from worse
fates; Admiral Seymours troops killed their
own wounded comrades rather than leave them
behind to the mercy of the Chinese-et cetera
ad nauseam. Never were stories more positively
and circumstantially set forth. Never were
stories, in general and in detail. more wlckedly
untrue, They were all lies, and it is not easy
TO avoid the suspicion that the prOpagators of
them knew they were lies.
There was a vast amount of ostensible and
much touted enterprise" the part of the
new journalism" through it's commissioners
instead OF mere correspondents" at the front
OF the results Of such enterprise the bulk was
miserable mendacity and the rest dulness and
vacuity. In the whole business there were
only two achievements OF exceptional merit
and real interest. One of these was "The
London T1mess" letter from DR. Morrison al
Peking the first detailed and authentic tidings
the world had had for weary weeks from that
city of mystery and fear The other, we feel
entitled TO claim, was The Trbune's special

Senior Enrique Varona, one of Cuba's most
enlightened and accomplished public men, does
not hesitate to brush aside the prevalent Cuban
notion that the United States has no right TO
expect a voice in determining the foreign rela-
tions of Independent insular Government
In a recent letter Senior Varona says justly:
Intervention came because it had come. sooner
later. Cuba would have been desOlated by the
Cubans and Spanards II il had not been for the
Americans who, by their intervention, have earned
the eternal gratitude of the Cubans and the right
considered In determining the foreign relations
of Cuba. 1t is useless for Cubans to refuse To ad-
NIT this. Washington will have a voice in the
foreign rea tons of Cuba. Those who say other
wise are poisoners of Cuban conscience.

SAYINGS OF THE SAGE.

A woman never forgives a man for
his kindness in bringing her husband
home drunk
Probably the love Of the angels for
men is az tender and sweet as the
love Of an old maid for the new min
lister.
A man can't please all women part
OF the time or one woman all of the
time, but he can always smile at all of
their babies
Selfishnese probably never would
have existed II 1t weren't for love.
A woman can AFFORD to forgive her
husband for everything except marry
ing her.
A baby's smile is the sweetest thing
in the world: it is q combination of
contentment, idiocy and gums.

their wives think they are there would

What Does This Mean i?

A perusal of the history of rail
way transactions during the past
four years shows us this period
has been the most disastrous, from
a financial standpoint, of any other
of the present decade. Under the
circumstances it would almost
seem as though the further devel-
opment or improvement of rail
way facilities must cease. Yet,
strange to say, many notable in
stances prove that the contrary is
true. In numerous instances,
first-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business
depression, have made very de-
cided advances, not only in the
improvement of the material con-
dition of the roadway itself, but
likewise, the equipment and ser
vice. And the public has been a
great gamer by the public-spirit-
edness of the roads.
One of the most notable cases
of railway development is the
Nickel Plate Road, which seems
to have forged right ahead with
its improvements and has e1hibi-
ted an unrelenting determination
to give tho public the best pos
sible facilities in spite of the
hard times. And how we'll this
corporation has succeeded in its
laudable efforts, the excellent con-
dition of the system bears ample
evidence. Yet the secret of this
success is obvious: the people
have responded very generously
to a generous effort to give them
the worth of their money. That
is all. The peoples money has
enabled the road to better it's IA
cilities in every respect; thus the
work has been of mutual and re-
ciprocal character. The liberal
patronage accorded the road has
brought handsome return to the
people in the shape of improved
facilities for travel, yet at the
same time, at lower rates.
And now, it seems, the Nickel
Plate Road is still engaged in
further efforts to serve the people
we'll. It has high-clsss road
way to begin with; . most excel
lent equipment to end with, and q
safe, fast and reliable service for
the dsleotatiop of it's patrons.
