PoRTsMoUTHs QUOTA OF INSANE

From figures quoted from the Sec
ond Auditors Office. in Richmond, in
reference to the negro lunatics confined
in the Central Asylum, in Petersburg,
taking the census of 1890 as n basis,
the city of Portsmouth furnished fewer
lunatics in comparison to the popua-
ton of the State than any other city
IN This COMMONWEALTH. Out Of n DopU-
lation OF 4,01S negroes this city fur
nished 30 to the asylum.
Petersburg, with n negro population
of 12,221. furnished 291 for the asylum.
or more than ten times as many as
Portsmouth, or, according to popula-
ton, for every one insane negro in
Portsmouth, Petersburg has had thirty
in the asylum.
Richmond also furnishes a large
quota, and it is observed that cities
near the asylum send larger numbers
of insane than cities at n distance.

TALK OF LOCAL OPTION.
Temperance Question Discussed at Cen
trail Church With Reference to
Local Conditions

trdl Cnurcn with reference TO
Local Conditions.
"The Woes of the Drunkard" was the
subject discussed at an after meeting
at the conclusion OF the regular mid
week services Wednesday night in Cen
trail NJ. Il. Church. Most of the con-
gregation, which was a large one, re-
manned TO the after meeting, and it is
said that the temperance question was
handled by the speakers. with refer
ence to local conditions, in manner
which indicated that the town is on the
eve of a local option struggle.
A spirited talk was made by the Rev.
r. f. Beades, deprecating the intern
perence which, he said, was sadly evil
dent in the city. 1t was said that when
men were seen reeling drunk in the
streets on Sunday it was a sign that
liquor was being sold on that day. An
effort to bring about local option was
suggested. but the meeting broke up
without formal action being taken.
A member of Central Church who
attended the service, said:
ut was an interesting meeting and
some of the speeches were spirited,
strongly fnclining towards q local op-
ton movement. I believe If the church
people would unite local option would
win. AS Yet the matter can hardly be
said to be in a formation stage. but

Instructed by a Pagan,

A rather unusual incident has occur
red in the. appearance OF the Chinese
minister to this country on the platform
in teaching us morality and Christian
ethics. We have sent numberless mis-
slonaries to China to enlighten the pa
gan mind, and now appears Chinese
missionary to American Christendom
instructIng US in certain matters in
which we are woefully lacking The
truth is Minister WI has set US to
thinking. and he has done 1t In such n
cordial. good-natured and friendly way
that robs his deiverances OF all offense.
His first address before the Ethical Gull
ture Society OF New York, he says, was
misconstrued and that his reported re-
marks left false impression. EIe dis
claimed any intention OF attacking the
Christian religion. AS his theme was
ConfucianIsm. to make the cardinal
points as clear as possible he chose the
best form OF religion, Christianity, for
comparison.
"It was not my Intention" he said ito
condemn the teachings Of Christ. TAX
Ing His philosophy as n standard should
be considered us a compliment I de-
like and how different from Christian
ity. did not condemn the teachings OF
Christ. I said they were very noble and
very difficult for men to attain to-some

ciate and respect It. and never In my
life have made an attack on Christian

that some OF Its doctrines are too high,
too grand for the mere mortal to fol-
low"
II Is when dwelling on the family re-
lation and the home customs OF China
and America that Minister WI gives us
the hardest knocks. for every one will
admit that we are lacking In those
things which are revcrenced In the now-
cry kingdom. He claims that the long
continued existence OF China as ma
ton. its authentic history dating back
900 years. Is due to the practice Of the
FIVE cardinal relations OF mankind, the
relation between sovereign and subject;

Endangered by Delay.

The state department has given evil
dence Of extreme anxiety as to the fate
Of the reciprocity treaties with foreign
countries now before the senate, and
which the President in his recent mes
sage earnestly recommended for ratif-
cation. The Fabian policy Of the SEN
ate has been provoked by some pretty
strong opposition by interests which al
lege TO be seriously affected by the pro-
posed conventions, but there are some
treaties which require prompt action II
the benefits to this country are to be
realized. This appears to be true Of the
British West Indies, where the conces-
sions made by this country on their pro-
ducts cannot in any degree affect Amer
lean manufacturers except favorably.
The volume Of trade Of the West Indies
with all other countries amounts to
nearly s6S.oOooO0.
The United States has large share
Of this trade, trade that is constantly
growing in volume, but the dllatory
action Of the senate threatens Its loss if
they pursue the dog-in-;he-manger pol
icy in respect to pending reciprocity ar
engagements. Strenuous efforts are
being made" says the Journal OF Com
merce. .by certain interests in Great
Britain to divert trade with the British
dependencies in the West Indies to Cam
ada and take it away from the United
States. These Influences have been po-
tent enough to persuade the legislative
assembly Of Trinidad TO refuse thus far
to extend the time for the ratification
Of the arrangement regarding that is
land.
This Is considered unfortunate by
those favorable TO reciprocity, because
Trinidad Is 4 sort OF entrepot and dis
tributing point for the trade Of Spanish
America. Goods entering there under
favorable conditions find their way into
the South American continent upon
favorable competing terms with Brit
ish. French and German exports. 1t is
hoped that the Trinidad government
will finally decide to extend the time for
ratification OF the arrangements submit
ted to Congress last spring. especially II
the treaties with the other British West
Indies are soon ratified by the senate.
There is no serious opposition to the
terms Of the arrangements except from
some OF the fruIt-growing interests Of
California. AS practically the whole
product Of the orange crop OF Jamaica
is laid down in the United States, even
under existing conditions, 1t is argued
by the friends OF the treaties that com
petition from this source would not be
Increased by ratification.
The manufacturers of the United
States, on the other hand would gain
or retain n valuable market by the con-
cessions made on our machinery and
other manufactured goods, which is In
danger Of being wrestcd from them IL
the policy Is adopted OF commercial
union among the British colonies in
America against the United States 1t
Is believed by the friends Of the treaty
that If all the facts were understood by
the business community strong de-
mand would arise for ratification which
| would soon make itself felt In Wash
ington."

POPULAR.YOTES
Cast By States at the Last General
Election-compared With 1896.
Gains and Losses Of the Candidates.

Sast ny otateS at tne IaSt GeQera1
Election-compared With 1896.
Gains and Losses Of the Candidates.
There have been many Inquiries In re-
gard TO the popular votes by states cast
at the last presidential election, and for
the first time, the IntellIgencer is now
able to give out the result.
The votes Of Michigan, Minnesota and
California are unofficial. but accurate
enough for all practical purposes. The
first thing OF interest to be noted is the
aggregate vote for the two leading can
didates. for the presidency, no account
being taken OF the minor party candi-
dates. In 1896 the aggregate vote was
l3,620,659, and in November last 13,OO3.-
6l1. being actually smaller thar four
years ago. Notwithstanding the consId-
cradle addition to the electorate made
by the growth of the population. The
vote by states is divided into groups,
and deductions are made from each
group. showing the gain or loss Of Nc
kinley and Bryan In the various Sec
lions. The complete list OF states. so
divided. are as follows:

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING. DECEMBER II, 1900.
To Be Wholly American.

The adoption by the senate yesterday
Of the Davis amendment to the Hay
Paunccfote treaty, providing that the
Nicaragua canal may be fortified. and
dIsposing Of the neutrality features OF
the treaty. makes 1t certain that the
canal when constructed will be wholly
controlled by this government. The
overwhelming majority by which the
amendment was adopted is quite sug-
gestive to Great Britain, that. however
much she may dislike this action, the
temper Of the country is for the sole
control Of the highway that will unite
the two oceans. The way is now COM
paratively clear for the action of Con-
gress on the bill providing for the con-:
struction Of the ship channel across the
isthmus. We believe the action of the
senate yesterday will meet with the COR
dial approval Of the American people
without any prejudice to Secretary
Hay. The reports that that gentleman
would resign If the Davis amendment
was adopted have been vigorously de-
MED by the secretary's friends, and the
friends OF the administration. The sec
rotary could not afford at this juncture
to be guilty Of any such childish con-
duct. '
There is no. doubt that England will
regret the amendment to the treaty, but
really we do not see that she can go
any further than regret. In this con-
nection prominent official Of the state
department is reported to have said the
other day: There is no foundation
whatever for the story that this gov
eminent has received assurance from
that OF Great Britain that the canal
convention will. II ratified by the senate
with the pending amendment, be ac-
cepted by the British cabinet. No such
promise, suggestion, or intimation has
ever reached the state department from
any official source. and the department
does not know what action the British
government would take in the event
that the pending treaty Is amended as
proposed. Every intimation, however,
that has reached here goes to show that
the adoption OF any amendment would
be regretted by the British authori-
ties"
We do not imagine that Great Britain
will offer any serious objection to the
amended. convention. and even IL she
does the canal will be built, treaty or
no treaty.

another: How Is your honorable wife?'

for Instance: My mean wife, or my lazy

as well as you do. and probably refer as
much TO them, but We do not make sham

the son affects to be wiser in his day
and generation than the father, and
that the mother has few rights the
daughter feels herself called on to re-
spect. The conjugal relations IRE most
happily hit OFF. Many husbands and
