LONGEST SITTING OF THE SUM-
MER DEVOTED TO THE CHINESE
QUESTION.
Washington, Aug. 29.-The cabinet
held the longest meeting of the sum-
mel today, sitting four hours on the
Chinese situation. At the conclusion
the members retired merely saying
they were discussing the diplomatic
features. It is understood replies
from all powers are N the hands of the
president and taken as a whole are not
satisfactory. It was for the purpose
of framing a reply to the responses in
question that most of the time was
consumed. A dispatch from Annoy
received this morning and withheld
was also considered by the cabinet
The real meaning of the reply to the
powers is that the United States wishe;
to withdraw from the Chinese en-.
broglio with the good will of all gov.
ernments if possible, or without if d
stern necessity.

to a hotel. This morning. If sober.
he will get it back.
Originally Drummer had $500, all

Mr.. Lutz stated farmers were taking
much interest in the project when the
details were laid before them and the
matter was understood and appreci-

were aiding in securing pledges from
others. Others have given evidence
of their friendliness toward the estab-
lishment of a factory here and the COM

the prospect.
Mr.. Rittenhouse said that Prof. Laid

offered to come here to address farm

idea to hold institutes during the win

the Minneapolis Tribune. AS an all
round purveyor of information and
entertaining reading it's popularity is
the best proof Of its ascendency.

of the same publication, the Farmers

the people of the state who are too
busy to read a daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Trib-
une, is, to all intents and purposes. the
farmers daily. 1t is a condensation
of the news for the three days preced-

hour Of going to press.

THE ENDoF A POLITICAL ISSUE

When the new financial law received
the sanction of the president and be-
came an effective law, there was
brought to a practical end what has
been for q considerable time the fore
most political issue in this country,
says q writer in the April Forum.
There was one necessity paramount
to the need for financial legislation
when congress assembled in 1897. That
WAS the necessity for providing sde-
quate revenue; and the attention OF the
special session of congress, which Pre-
sident Mckinley called Immediately
after his inauguration, was devoted to
the framing of a revenue measure.
When congress met in regular session
in December, the seer etary of the trea-
sury outlined a financial policy as
strong as the warmest friends OF sound
money could wish. he went further,
and formulated a bill. 1t is interest
Forum, that every feature OF the
present financial act was contained In
the bill brought forward by Secretary
Gage in almost the same form as 1t
has now become law.
The secretary Dprovided for the re-
demption of the several classes of paper
money in gold, this to be accomplished
through an issue and redemption divi-
sion, the funds in which should be
kept quite distinct from the general
fund of the treasury. His measure
provided for the rejundiDg of the out
standing bonds into new, low-rate
bond. for toe issue of national bank
circulating notes up to par of the bonds
deposited, and for other minor matters
that are contained in the law which
has just gone into effect.
Secretary Gage also advocated, in the
measure which he presented, that ma
tional banks which had taken 80 per
cent of their capital in circulation
should Be permitted to issue an ad-
ditional 20 per cent of their capital in
circulating notes secured on the assets
of the bank, the amount of such issue
being kept down under repressive
tax, so that such notes would only be-
put out in times of distinct commercial
need. That step which the secretary
recomm ended has not yet been taken:
but the measure which has been enact
ed, so far as it,,goes, is strictly in har-

TEXAS MARCHING ON

For many years after til e war it was
generally considered that the south
was either too poor or too shiftless to
take advantage of the glorious oppor-
tunities generous nature hal provided
within it's several states, preferring to
witness outside enterprise and capital
develop its riches, and then bask in a
sort of reflected sunshine as it were.
The wonderful progress OF the south in
the past ten years has very etfectually
dissipated these opinions, and the next
decade will bring about a condition
that will astonish the minds of the in
dividuals who held them.
Texas alone may serve as an object
lesson. and illustrate the possibilities
the wealth of factory interests of the
country south of the Mason and Dixon
line. Presenting q remarkable field
for agricultural development, ss lands
have been purchased by thrifty settlers,
and the state has forged to the front in
richness of soil and climatic peculiari-
ties.
The wide range of facilities has in
duced q coincident expansion of CAPT
tai. The great cattle ranges are con-
tracing to make room for cotton and
grain, while the cattle Themselves are
undergoing decided evolution.
Money is being invested rapidly and in
increasing ratio, and the esta blishment
of enterprises Involving the employ
ment of great wealth is q matter of
daily note. Natural advantages are
being elaborated. Iron, coal, oil and
other minerals promise great develop
ment, while in every city and hamlet
the tocsin of commercial sgRrsndize-
ment sounds to the common veal.
Cotton mills. flour mills, wagon fac
tories, coal, quicksilver, silver ana
iron mines, stove works, tanneries,
me at packing establishments and
hundred enterprises are in existence
and being projected. while over the
interests of the masses the fertile
acres, covered with every known agri-
cultural product, cast the aegis of
lasting and true prosperity, building
into the future, saying to the world,
"Texss bids you welcome, for it is an
empire with an empires resources"

A BILL has been passed by the New
York assembly to protect the private
papers found in the pockets of dead
men. There have been scandalous
breaches of the right of privacy in
the past. Such papers, no matter how
sacred their contents might be, have
been turned over without the least
scrupie to sensation-mongers, and the
grief of the dead PERSONS friends and
relatives has been made more bit
ter by dismay and shame. 1t is well
that this thoroughly indefensible
practice is to be stopped. If the in
terests OF justice are to be served in
any way by knowledge OF the contents
OF such papers there are proper meth
DDS of making official use of them.
But TO consider them simply as SO
much material for big headlines is
nothing more or less than an out
rage.
