The Case of China.
: York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
The excuse which is held sufficient to
cover everything is that China is the
sick man of the Orient There can
be no crime in seizing the goods Of a
man who is about TO die. But China
has been grievously Ill before and yet
recovered. Writing a generation ago.
DR. J. H. Bridges showed, in sketch
OF Chinese civilization. that periods
o apparent decay have been nornaI
features of Chinese history. Crises
have occurred at intervals OF two or
three centuries. Chinese stagnation is
not so sure. On the whole, there has
been progress; and even in the pres
ent time OF reaction, Sir Robert Hart
thinks he sees signs OF rapid recoY-
cry. Whether it Is to be recovery
OF a great people with arms IN their
hands to resist foreign interference.

Cheaper Labor I'M pro.pec,.

Washington Times.
Greatly as the power Of capital
over labor has grown OF late Il ia nor
yet absolute enough to satisfy Dur
captains OF industry" What they
need is a reliable economic club with
which to strike down and keep down
wages and render strikes hopeless
This they will easily find in unrestrict-
ed Chinese immigration, which two
years hence will begin and go on un-
ceasingly unless Congress should in
terfere, which is not likely, as the men
who own the Republican majority in
Congress want cheap labor.

Minister WI interviewed the report
ers down at Cincinnati. and did it very
well. He received much more informa-

elected from him were interesting
For instance, one newspaper man re-

establishment in the Queen City. when
the Minister responded: That is not
new; we have had them in China for
centuries.

TIE SCHOOL BOOK LAW

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:--I yield to no one in my devotion
to or my love. for the public schools of
West Virginia. / stood as one of the
godfathers, at their baptism, and have
ever since worshiped at their shrine.
l have given to these schools my best
strength of beth body and brain, till
my locks are white with the SHOWS OF
age, but the frosts of more than three
score winters have not quenched the
fires of youth or chilled the ardor in my
veins.
For many years have been working
on neglected lines in education. The
grading of country schools and gradua-
ton therefrom; the dictionary in the
school room; and better English for
our boys and girls. are subjects which |
have delighted to emphasize.
The fact that the friends OF the pub
lie schools throughout the State have
heretofore listened to what | had to
say, encourages me to suggest some
needed changes in the present schooi
book law, or else the enactment of a
new school book law.
The school book law of West Vir-
ginia touches a greater number Of our
inhabitants, than any other act of the
Legislature upon our statute books. All
children over six and under twenty -one
years CT age, and all parents who have
children of school age, feel the force
of the school book law. | am willing
to risk my reputation for truth and YER
acity when ! say that, under some of the
later changes, no other law upon our
statute books has proved to be so utter

A "BuII" View.

New York Tribune.
The talk that prices are too high is
still heard in Wall street. but con
ditions in general do not warrant the
statement that values are above their
true worth. The high prices reached
in 1899 were considered fictitious. ami
in many cases this was true. Since
the time of the high level of 1899 an
increase in the real value of securities
has taken place, and current conditions
and prospects justify the expectation
that stock values will not only reach
the high point of 1899. but ultimately
run far beyond. The following table
shows the record of 1899 and the clos
ing yesterday and the difference in
points between the two Levels for a
number of prominent securities:

AN INCIPIENT FIRE
1t Caused $1,000 Damage to the
Warehouse of H. B. Cart
wright u Bro.
GOOD WORK OF The FIREMEN
An Immense Amount of Merchandise Dam
aged-Ths Chemical Engine Gave Ex-
cellent Results-A Large Oonfa-
grafton Narrowly Averted.

About Z O'Clock OF Saturday evening
an incipient fire was discovered in the
large warehouse and bakery connected
| with the wholesale and retail grocery
Bro, in the Spiegelberg block, on the
south side of the plaza. An alarm was
| quickly turned in, and within five min
| utes the hose, chemical engine and hook
and ladder companies were all on the
| ground ready for effective action.
GOOD WORK OF FIREMEN.
Cool and wise heads directed the
movements of the three companies. 1t
| was discovered that the wooden parti-
lions of the warehouse were already in
| flames, and of course the entire build
ing was filed with sitting smoke; but,
in order to save as many goods as posi-
| BILE from damage by water, the chemical
engine was first brought into action
with excellent results, and then the
hose company completed the work with
ample streams Of water. All three COM
panies are universally praised for the
timely and efficient services they rem
dered. Except for their work a most
disastrous con%flagration, involving all
| the business buildings on the south side
| of the plaza, would have been ineyita-
| BILE. AS it was, the damage consists only
| of the destruction Of some of the int
l .;a, an I'D stt,p "a f1a clnyptttr "a nd q Yy1llF.
ing of the contents of the warehouse,
and the burning of most of the bakery
utensils. The large brick bake ovens
were not injured.
CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
The fire undoubtedly started ear the
door leading into the bakery, and not
from the bakery, as was at first sup
posed. A number of persons We're in the
warehouse buying grain a few minutes
before the fire started, and it is pre-
sumed hat some of these persons care
lessly dropped a lighted match.
LOSS S $500.
Mr.. Cartwright estimates the damage
at about 81, 500. About so 1000 pounds of
flour, 1900 pounds OF wheat, $4,000
pounds of oats, 10000 pounds Of chop,
four car loads of hay and alfalfa and
one a load of bran are badly scorched
or much damaged by smoke and water,
The loss Is covered by insurance OF $25, :
900 on the warehouse and its contents.
Repairs will at once be made, and the
business of ths trm will not be inter
rupted in n respect. AS soon as new
implements are provided the bakery
will be in readiness to resume opera
tons.

Remarkable Feats Performed bs
AmphihiOus Artists.

AS already announced. the Adam Fore

scheduled for exhibition in ST. Paul on
Saturday, July T. Among the most count
less features are Capt. WoodWards am
phibious artists, or performing seals

talk, and Leo" the monster North pole
clown, makes a commendable effort in
that direction. His companions, with only
fiippers to supply the place of hands,
Skin band. They manipulate drums,
banjos, cymbals and numerous other mu
steal instruments in unison and in time to
catch flaming torches, fire guns at COM
mand, and sing songs Of the sea IN
chorus. Another feature is the Fore
paugh herd Of performing elephants.
These elephants, who were the marvel
and delight of the fathers and mothers of
the present generation Of youngsters, will
do as much to entertain the little ones of
today as they did then. The FOrepaugh
herd IS, however, only one of three herds
that will be seen here with this great
congress. The Sells Brothers herd is only
second to the Forepaugh herd in size,
number and training, while Prof. Dock
risfs famous herd of pigmy performing
elephants is also to be seen These cute
little elephants, the Tom Thumbs of the
elephant race, are the cutest little fell
lows ever seen, although the smallest one
of them would weigh as much as a hA~se.
Besides the elephants there are the twen-
ty-five clowns and all the other wonderful
features of the shows.
