DISAPPROVAL OF PAY BILLS


of the corporation counsel's opinion.
1t now appears that the board of
finance will approve the bill of $40 for
gold badges for the chief and clerk of
the police department It is said that
unless the bills are paid soon the dealer
from whom the badges were purchased
will sue the city. The badges We're
purchased before the appropriations,
were made for this year, and the board
of finance last night decided to send
them back to the police department to
have the dates changed so that they can
be paid out of this years appropriation
for the police department.
The bill of Clerkin & Mcdonald for
5000 for plumbing work done a. Spring.
side home was approved yesterday. The
board hesitated somewhat about paying
this bill because Superintendent Spier
of the department Of charities and cor
rection had the work done without ad-
vertising for bids. The bill has been
on the table about three weeks. The
board, after approving the bill last
night. passed a resolution directing Mr.
Spier to have no more work of that
character and extent done at Spring.

awarding contracts after competitive

used to pay for the relaying of a por-

which in the opinion Of the director,
needs repairing. Two hundred dollars

to petition the emperor to supply the

London, July 27.--The Daily Mail ex-
plains that the Chinese employees of the
British legation, who, according to Its
advices yesterday, escaped from Pellin
to Niu Chwang and reported there that
when he left Pekin most of the mem
bers of the legations were dead and the
condition of the others was helpless did
not actually leave Pekin until July 3
and this goes OF show if his sta te-
ment is to be relied on that a general
massacre had not occurred on July g.

Most OF the eharlatans and fakirs
which prey upon the credulity of the
public are harmless and entitled to ply
their various vocations without hinder
ance. but the Christian scientists. who
are neither Christian nor scientific,
have lately been responsible for the
death of SO many innocent persons,
non-believers in their creed. that the
call for some legal restrictions upon
their nefarious practices is imperative.
So long as the sick and dying who be-
lieve in these arrant imposters call
them in as medical advisers to them
selves, no one complains except the
fool-killer who is thereby deprived of
his legitimate business. But when the
lives OF little children are sacrificed by
the superstitions of mentally and
morally befuddled parents, it is time
for the law to intervene. Public in
dignation is being aroused throughout
the country. and the time win soon

The troubles in Porto Rico over the
change from the silver to the gold STAN
dard gives the Bryanites some idea Of
what we shall undergo If we make
the change in the opposite direction.
The higher cost of living is immediate.
while the raise Of pay for labor will
be gradual and perhaps never reach
the place where a specified number Of
hours work win procure es much in the
open market as it would before the
change. Not because the gold STAN
dard works against the laboring man.
but because a change Of standard. Of
whatever kind it may be. always works
to the advantage of those who have
other things than labor to sell. The
laboring man has not yet the power
of determining what shall be the re-
ward Of his toll. and must Of neces-
sity take what is offered, for he can
not live in idleness. The capitalist can
charge pretty much what he pleases
and the purchaser is helpless. So in
Porto Rico the cost of living is doubled
with the change Of standard. and CON
cessions to the workingman will be
gradually given from time to time, till
in a few years his wages may possess

CAUSES OF THE TROUBLE.

Tacoma Ledger
In an article in the current number Of
the North American Review, Charles
Johnston, of the Bengal civil service,
who has made study of Oriental prob
lens having peculiar facilities for
many years, predicted the present trou-
bles in China. He based his prediction
Of trouble, not directly upon war
upon foreigners. but on the conflict be-
tween the radicals and conservatives.
The emperor is a jealous and radical
reformer. who desires to see China fol-
low in the footsteps of Japan and go
forward as rapidly as possible to civil
ization, appreciating that China must
seek regeneration through progression.
The conservatives under the empress
dowager are opposed TO progress and
civilization, and consequently are bit
ter against Europeans. or foreign dew
lis"
The young emperor desires to estab-
lish at Pekin a university modelled af-
ter the best European schools. with
teachers educated in Japan to instruct
in the lower schools, and full educa-
tional system.
This was to embody chronological,
naval and agricultural schools, to teach
modern methods. What touched the
conservatives more readily was the at
tempt to reform the judicial system
by blotting out the infamous system Of
bribery that has obtained for centuries.
In short TO introduce Western scienti-
fic methods and education in place Of
the superstitious and traditional meth
DDS of the past.
There was a popular revolt against
these reforms, led by the empress and
the Boxers. The entire bureaucracy
took alarm and began TO incite the
passions and prejudices Of the populaee
and the consequences have been the re-
volt and outrages and murders Of Eu-
ropeans, eliminating in defiance of |
the world.
The missionaries, es well as the en-
gineers and railway builders and other
Europeans, have fallen victims to this
fanatical determination OF The Chinese
conservatives that no progress and en-
lightenment shall obtain in the empire.
Europeans were the apostles of prog
ress and enlightenment and therefore
they were put out Of the way.
No doubt the rapacity Of Russia and
Germany. in encroaching on Chinese
territory, by taking possession Of Port
Arthur by the former and of Kaio Chou
by Germany, have added fuel to the
flame of hatred of foreigners. Shan
tung, which passed under control Of
Germany with Kaio Chou, is sacred
ground. Confucius and Menicus are
buried there, and there was great ex-
citement over the presumption Of bar.
barians taking this holy ground.
The enlightenment that China needs
first and most is regarding the power
Of the civilized nations to resent the
outrage that has been put upon them,
to secure reparation and to take such
steps as will prevent recurrence Of
such scenes, and make China as safe
for Europeans as are England, Ger
many or the United States
