Don't Take Your Business Home.

Draw the line when the door Is

work and detail in the hours given for
labor without taking your business to
your home and to bed. Every man
needs the hours of rest he is supposed
to take. The problems will be clearer
and brighter and will solve themselves
readily by going at them with mind
fresh from rest Let the key OF the
store door, lock in your worries and
the problemsIof business hours. 1t is
enough that we are compelled to
spend the twelve or fourteen hours of
each day in their solving, 1t is due
US that we take the rest, it is due our
families that they have US and not

Carnegis's Advice to Young Men.

|. Never enter barroom, nor let
the contents OF barroom enter you.
2. Do not use tobacco.
3 Concentrate. Having entered
upon certain line of work continue
and combine upon that line.
4. Do not shirk; rather go be-
yond your task. Do not let any
young man think he has performed
his duty when he has performed
the task assigned him. A man
will never rise If he acts thus. Pro
motion comes from exceptional work.
A man must discover where his EN-
ployer's interests lie and push for
these. The yonng man who does
this is the Young man whom capital
wants for partner and son-in law.
He is the young man who by and by,
reaches the head of the firm.
5. Save little always. What
ever your wages, lay by something
from them.
6. Never speculate. Never buy
stock or grain on margin.
7. Never endorse When you en-
ter on business for yourself never en-
dorse for others. 1t is dishonest
All your resources and all your cred
1T are the scored property of the men
who have trusted you. If you wish
to help another give him all the cash
you can spare, never indorse. Its
dishonest.

JOINT MEETING.
A Conference to Consider the
Telegraphers Fight.
Ihe Baltimore L. Ohio Matter will be
Up at Meeting Of Brotherhoods on
the Twenty eighth.


There is now trouble on hands
between the Baltimore g. Ohio rail
road company and the telegraphers
along the system. The grievance
committee of the Brotherhood of
Railway photographers met General
Manager Underwood at Pittsburg
last Friday to settle a difficulty
when the general manager gave the
committee notice that they would
have.to drop the organization or all
members would suffer dismissal from
the service of the road. While the
grievance committee of the Brother
hood was well aware of the fact that
the officials of the road were not at
all friendly to the organization, they
were somewhat surprised to hear
the announcement. With flash
the news OF the new move of the
company was spread over the system
and the officials Of all the labor or
CARNATIONS connected with the sys-
TEN were notified. The leaders of
the different brotherhoods conferred
and union meeting was set yester-
day to be held at Grafton on the
2Sth inst. A prominent member of
one of the brotherhoods stated this
morning that that there would be a
shot time" at the Grafton meeting
and that the entire brotherhood
would join in the fight for the tele-
graphers. At the Grafton meeting
there will be several matters brought
up for action. A number of the
prominent employees in the Grafton
yards and shops have been notified
by the officials of the road to resign
their positions, it is said. In outside
circles it is hoped and expected that
the matter will be adjudieated with
out serious trouble.

became common; elegant little foreign
cities were built here and there; rail
roads began to be constructed. 1t did
seem that China, like Japan, would
work out her own salvation. II
seemed that with peace and tranquility
the time would come when in he1
borders the foreigners would be as
safe as in Europe or America.
But the Japanese war of 1894 rudely
broke into the pleasing contemplation
of national progress. 1t dissolved all
illusions and left the great giant
shrivelled into a pigmy. Let Japan
take to her soul the wretched lesson
that for momentary glorification she
wounded to the death her eastern
sister.
After the navy was annihilated, and
the army, what there was of it, had
taken its lances home, it was apparent
that all the world could insult, ravage
and loot China with impunity It was
the old story Of the traveller tied to a
tree and robbed by passer-by who
had been asked to assist him. So the
merry round commenced, and without
explanation. argument or reason Ger
many, Russia, England and France de-
manded and received concessions of
territory.

and proper to him that the empire
shall be- partitioned 1t is even the
duty of the white race to take this in
ferior race under it's protection Every
European nation is supposed to desire
to do this, because Europe is crowded
and room must be found for the young
athletes of the west
Evidently the most of the foreigners
in China are convinced that the en-
press is antagonistic to the foreign
element. She has been dubbed ANTI
Christ" and she is supposed to stand
in the way of progress and of all
foreign ideas
She ruled China from 1851 to 1889.
1t was a troublesome time For the
first time in the history of the empire
diplomatic relations existed in 1861 be-
tween China and the so-called bar
barians. For the first time the flags of
all the important nations flew in. the
imperial city. For the first time there
was foreign Office. From an isoa-
ton as deep as that of Thibet China
suddenly entered the arena of inter
national intercourse.
The war waged against her by the
allies had left her overwhelmed with
establishment at her impotence. Up to
that time her rulers believed that the
whole world was subject to the en-
peror. Now she had to treat with
foreigners; to discuss international
questions with them; to protect their
enterprises: to see new laws enforced
by strangers in courts in which she
was powerless.
She had made treaties with the
European and American powers of
whose bearing and effect on her people
she knew nothing whatever. If she
had known the true meaning and the
probable effects of the treaties she
never would have signed them. A
few of the Chinese officials studied the
treaties, but the most of the inferior
officers and all the people remained alb
solutely ignorant OF their contents.
Great credit is due the Chinese
statesmen that they were able to ad-
minister intelligently the provisions OF
the treaties. and they were greatly as
sisted by the foreign representatives.
Who can say, then, that China aid
not do fairly we'll during her noyitiate
into TIE family OF nations? The
electric telegraph was introduced in
all the provinces. Every stream was
open to the keels of all nations The
imperial maritime customs and ma
tional postoffice were established. I'm
fortunately. riots were common, but
China paid liberal damages. Mission
aries went where they pleased, settled
down. bought land and built houses.
Many fine institutions were started:
commerce flourished; foreign banks

is highly probable that $4,000 European
troops can march from one end Of
China to the other.
There are about 10000 troops in
China who have been drilled by Ger
man and Belgian officers, and are
armed with modern guns I have been
assured by their drill-masters that
they are as good as any troops, but
what are they numerically as com
pared with the forces which can be
brought against them?
The balance of the Chinese army is
armed with spears and long swords,
and would not stand a minute before
Europeans or Americans. Foreign
drilled Chinese troops are the force
which is bombarding Tien-tsin at this
moment.
All the world has been selling arms
to China, and has been clamorous TO
furnish military officers, and now she
is utilizing the material and the ex-
perience. 1t is fight for life for the
foreigner, all the wealth of foreign
banks, manufactures, railways, steam
ships, stores, warehouses, together with
the numerous missionary buildings, is
hanging on the issue. Should we fail,
many a man will be poorer and many
family will have no bread.
That China must be compelled to
comply with the provisions of the
treaties admits of no doubt. 1t matters
little that the present dynasty is
swept away and native Chinese is put
on the throne; but it greatly matters
10 America that partition shall be pre-
vented, and that the autonomy of
China shall be preserved.

Of all these the only one that ha!
any excuse is Russia. A terminus fol
her great railroad which would no
freeze up was a necessity She might
have got it in Corea and left the ma
ton which she had promised to pro.
tect against all corners untouched. Il
would have been better for her. anC
for China, too
There is about Russian diplomacy a
directness, straightforwardnes which
are admirable. She simply makes uu
her mind as to what she wants-and
then takes it. What other people say
about the matter does not concern
her. Her diplomatists work for their
august master" and nobody else.
VIII the world ever do an honest
thing? When Germany seized Kaio-
chow, why did not the powers, or
some of them, protest? Was there
ever in history a more splendid op-
portunity to do an act of simple Just
ice?
And now see the result of all the
robbery that has been going on. The
empress, who from 1861 to 1888 had
maintained considerable degree of
peace and order, has become a tigress:
a great people has been dashed into
jury, and movement rivaling in mag
nitude the TAPPING rebellion, in which
2O,O0O,O00 lives were lost, is afoot.
Can it reasonably be expected that
the Chinese should love the white
man while he is plundering them ?
Fancy what would happen if Russia
seized Fortress Monroe and slice of
Virginia; Germany, Governor is
land and part of New York: England.
Mare island and half dozen counties
in California, and France. New Orleans
and hundred miles up the Mississ-
ippi! Then suppose that Italy asked for
Charleston. Is it to be imagined that
such events would be taken as all he
ing for our good, and that we ought
to feel rather proud than otherwise
that the great nations acted so hand
somely toward us? Yet this is exact
ly what has happened in China, with
the addition that Japan took for her
SELF the island of Formosa. And so
the chinese people are hostile to the
foreigners, and they show it by riotous
demonstrations.
but 1t shall not be said that l am
deiending China in this war.
NO question can arise as to the duty
OF our government in this emergency
we must protect our people at all
hazards. We must send armies. IL
need be, so that our men and women
and children shall live.
But what shall happen after the war
IS over? This is the rub. 1t cannot
Tor a moment be doubted that the
world in arms can conquer China. II

However well acquainted with China
an observer may be, unless he has
been on the ground recently and has
watched events his opinions may be
entitled to little weight. Even the
views of men now in China should be
received with many allowances, for all
shades of opinion are represented
there.
The missionaries, who constitute a
great-perhaps the most numerous
part of the foreigners, look only to
the spiritual side of the questions. To
them the supreme object is the spread
of religion, and they would welcome
any government which would insure
them and their converts freedom and
protection.
Counsels from other foreigners are
controlled by the influence of trade
and commerce and by the action of
their respective governments. The
merchants and promoters want greater
freedom of intercourse, the right to
manufacture, to build railroads and
work mines
To the foreigner generally the
Chinese are interiors. Nothing that
they do is proper, and they have no
right that any white man should re-
spect. 1t is perfectly natural, right
