Much has appeared in the public prints
during the past month with respect to
the effect the disturbances in China have
had or will have upon the American cot
ton goods trade with that country A few
days ago it was alleged that orders for
cotton goods for the China trade had
been countermanded and that shpm ents
that had gone forward to the ports had
been ordered held up. A leading mer-
chant of New York who is in the China
trade, was asked day or two ago by the
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger
about the matter. He declared that he
knew of no cancellation of orders, and
only one instance in which purchasers
had asked for a delay in shipments. On
the other hand he said he knew Of one
house that had just received shipping in
sTuctions for several thousand packages
Of cloth to be forwarded as quickly as
possible. shipments to Shanghai direct
during the past two weeks, he said, have
comprised IS 400 packages.

a REFORM THAT Is SPREADING.

Mr.. Hartman, chairman of the board of
directors of the Union Pacific railway, has
issued an order prohibiting employees
from smoking cigarettes. The order applies
to the directors when attending board
meetings. Within the last year several
railroads have made similar orders respec-
ting employees, and 1t is safe to say that
other railroads will follow their example
II is a fact that railroad companies will not
now employ men who are known to be
even moderate drinkers of Intoxicating
liquors. The time is not very distant when
neither cigarette smokers nor drinkers of
alcoholic beverages will be able to get en-
ployment on railways. There will he plen-
ty of men seeking these places and the
railways can take their pick They will
select men who neither smoke cigarettes
nor use intoxicants habtually.
1t may seem a little hard that man
shall not have the right to drink aud
smoke as he pleases, without interference
from his employers, but when the matter
is viewed in all its bearings il will be seen
that employers have some rights in the
matter. 1t is claimed that a cigarette
smoker is not nearly so capable as the
man who does not use cigarettes, other
things being equal, and it is certain that
a drinking man is, as a rule, unreliab BILE.
The railway business requires a clear
brain and steady hand, and the cigar
cite smoker and the drinker of intoxicants
have neither. No doubt many of the acci-
dents on railroads and to employees are
traceable TO either cigarettes or whskey.
Accidents are costly-so costly that rail-
ways are justifiabe in taking every posi-
bic means to lessen the number of them.
Railways and other corporations can do
more towards checking the cigarette and
drinking habits than political parties or
prohibitory laws. The tendency to employ
men who have neither of these habits is
steadily becoming stronger. This is a mat.
ter that is worthy of the most thoughtful
attention of youths and young men. If
they are wise they will acquire neither the
drink nor the cigarette habit

coon ADVICE BY PARTY ORGAN.

GOOD ADVICE BY PARTY ORGAN
The Courier-JournaI of Louisville, Ky,
I is now in the very best standing posi-
BILE with its party, and il il giving the
Kentucky Democrats some good advice
in respect to the Goebel election law.
The party, in its convention recently, rec
commended that the Goebel law be modi-
fed so that there could be no ground
/ for finding fault with IT, IL seems that
| some of the party leaders are inclined 60
! wait until the regular meeting of the
/ Legislature to act on this recommends
ton. That would be too late 10 NEE,
the requirements Of the November cleo
tions.
The Courier-Journal takes the position
that an extra session should be called at
| once TO act upon the recommendation.
II points out that unless chat is done
the Republicans will make the law the
issue of the campaign. 1t is an issue
that the Democrats cannot very well meet
because. by recommending its modfica-
ton, they admit that il is not an alto
gether Just law. The only way they can
meet the issue is to so change the law
that every party will have representa-
ton at the polls and at the ballot boxes.
Under the law 1t stands the party in
power has the control of the elections.
If the Courier-Journal is correct in the
view it takes the Republicans do not
want the law changed before the cleo
ton. The law as il stands is worth
many thousands of votes TO them. There
are said TO be hundreds of Democrats
in every county who will refuse TO vote
the Democratic ticket as Ions as the
Goebel law is in force. 1t would seem
10 be the part of wisdom, therefore, from
the standpoint OF good politics, to modify
the law as soon as possible.
Among the Democratic leaders there
are some who insist that the law shall
remain just as it is. Such men are not
safe leaders. At the election last year
the Democrats lost the state mainly be-
cause of the Goebel law. There were
Democrats who objected to Mr.. Goebel
because he was the author of the law
Besides, they did not regard the law as
right. These same Democrats will be
against the party in November unless the
Objectionable law is repealed or modified
so as to meet the approval of all fair
minded men.
1t Is true that there was opposition in
the State Convention 10 the resolution
recommending a modification of the law
and if an extra session of the Legisla-
ture were called the same opposition
would manifest itself. But the real lead
ers Of the party should take hold of the
matter and force action in harmony with
the recommendation. If the presidential
election should be held under the law as
il stands at present, the legality Of the
election might be questioned. It is GER
tain that if the Republican party needed
the electoral vote of Kentucky in order
to win the election, 1t would not hest
tate to attack the election law in that
state, and in doing so it would have the
support of many Democrats of Kentucky
of unquestioned standing.

III HUNG CHANGES THREAT.

Ii Hung Chang practically tells the
/ Powers that the foreign ministers will not
be given up until an understanding be-
tween the Powers and China is reached
! respecting their differences. If he speaks
| authoritatively very little weight is to be
attached 10 the dispatches sent out by
| Director General Sheng from Shanghai,
to the effect that it is the purpose of the
Chinese government to send the minis
tsrs TO Tien Tsin under a strong escort.
According TO Ii Hung Chang every white
man in Pekin will be killed If the allies
at Tien Tsin move on the Chinese CAPT
tai
This looks as If the Chinese government
regards itself in a position to make its
own terms. 1t does not believe that the
Powers will take the risk of having its
ministers killed. 1t thinks that they will
make almost any concessions in order 20
save their ministers.
The terms which China proposes to offer
have been already pretty fully stated by
Ii Hung Chang. They are that the mis-
sionaries and foreign business men shall
get out of China at the earliest possible
moment, and in consideration of their go
Ing China will consent to pay any reason
able indemnity.
II is hardly probable that these terms,
if they should be offered. would be ac-
cepted. The Powers are not going to get
out of China, and they will find some
way to save their ministers, assuming
that they are sim alive. Ii Hung Chang
hints that If the Powers show a dsposl-
ton TO deal harshly with China the
southern provinces which are now quiet
will join the rebels, and he intlmates that
the Chinese empire, if fully aroused, will
be able to make a surprisingly strong re-
sistance. Evidently the Chinese govern
ment thinks that it has a friend in the
United States. No doubt they are friendly
to China, but the President makes il very
clear that the United States will not ex-
tend TO China a helping hand until the
safety of the ministers is assured. 1t is
not certain that they would be able to
assist China very materially even If sat
isfactory assurances of the safety of the
ministers were given. The Powers may
not consent that the United States shall
act as mediator. If they should not it is
pretty certain that the United States will
not insist upon occupying that position.
They are not DESTROYS of becoming en-
tangled in vexatous complications with
the Powers of Europe. AS a matter OF
fact they have but one object in view in
sending troops TO China. and that is the
rescue of their citizens connected with
their legation at Pekin. There is not much
doubt that they will find a way to accom-
plish that.

THE ANTI-TRuST IssUE.

1t is not yet clear what the issue of the
campaign is going TO be- 1t is known, OF
course what the great parties are going
to try to make the issue. The Republicans
are saying that silver will have the lead
ing place while the Democrats are insist
ing that anti-imperialism is the issue that
will attract the most attention. But what
is attracting more attention now than
anything else, is the very little interest
that is being manifested in the antitrust
issue.
Only few weeks ago the newspap ers
were full of attacks on trust. Now they
seldom have anything to say about them
Is this because everything has been said
about trusts that there is to say or is 1t
because 1t is becoming apparent that there
is not so much in the trust business for
either party as 1t was supposed there
was?
1t is a rather remarkable fact that
there are now appearing in many papers
articles going to show that there are
WorSA things in the world than trusts
Nhdl tiiGlt are oOllIe very SOOu features
connected with them. 1t is also pointed
out that all trusts are not prospering.
Many who owned independent industrial
plants, and were induced to enter a great
combination with the hope of increasing
the income from their capital, now
regret having done so. They believe
that they could have done better if
they had kept their plants as separate
institutions.
There are no doubt instances where con-
soldation into trusts has not proven to
be wholly satisfactory. The net earnings
are not as great as they were before the
consolidation was effected. 1t is also
fact that a number of trusts have gone to
pieces recently, and those who held stock
in them were heavy losers.
But because there is very little being
said about trusts at this time it does rot
follow that the antitrust issue will play
no part in the campaign. The campaign
has not been fairly begun yet. When the
speech-makers and the party organs get
seriously at work trusts no doubt will
come in for a larger share Of attention
than they are getting at present.

One of the most honored and conspicu-
out figures in the public life of Great Brit
ain during the last half-century was Lord
Playfair, of whom a sketch appears in
the North American Review, says the
Chicago Journal The vast sanitary i'm
provements which have taken place in
England within thirty years and the evo-
luton of the whole system of scientific
and technical instruction are due to Play
fair more than 10 any other man.
He originally suggested the adoption of
open half-penny letters now known es
postcards" and he was largely instru-
mental in suggesting the basis of an euuit-
able agreement between Great Britain
and America when President Cleveland's
Venezuelan message had brought the two
countries into dangerous antagonism.
Among Playfairs students at the Uni
versity of Edinburgh was the Prince Of
Wales, of whom a curious anecdote is
told:
1t was while the Prince of Wales was
nVlng in Edinburg, as Playfair's pupil in
the application Of science to industry that
an Interesting incident occurred The two
were standing near cauldron containing
LEAD which was boiling at white heat.
Has your royal higness, asked Play
fair. any faith in science?
" Certainly, was the reply
Playfair then carefully washed the
Princes hands with ammonia to get rid
of any grease that might be on them
Will you now place your hand in this
boiling metal and ladle out portion of III?
said Plafair.
" DO you tell me to do this?' asked the
Prince.
b" 1 do was the answer
The Prince instantly put his hand into
the cauldron and laded out some of the
boiling lead without sustaining any in
jury, 1t is a well-known scientific fact
that the human hand, if perfectly clean
ed, may be placed uniujured in lead boil
ing at white heat, the moisture of the
skin protecting it, under these conditions
from any injury. Should the lead be at a
temperature perceptibly lower the effect
would be, of course. very different

The News and Courier of Charleston
published the following in its issue Of
Wednesday, July %:
II the Savannah Morning News do not
object We wish it would inform US as TO
the result of its inquiries touching the
infamous report as to an epidemic Of ty-
phoid fever prevailing in the city Of
Charleston, which was placarded in one of
the hotels of Savannah at the time that
the National Educa tional Association was
holding its convention in Charleston. We
do not wish to be impa tient, but we
should like to have our contemporary find
out who 1t was that gave currency 10 such
a SANDER and why there should be any
body in Savannah so eyi-minded as TO
seek in this way to do injury 10 Charles

The foregoing is a most remarkable par
agraph. 1t assumes that the Morning
News made inquiries touching report
that there was in epidemic of typhoid
fever in Charleston about the time that
the National Educational Convention was
in session in that city. In the first place,
the Morning News never made inquiries
respecting any such report In the sec
ond place it never heard such a report,
and, in the third place. if any such re-
port was placarded in a hotel in Savannah
the Morning News knows nothing of it,

founded reports are usually set afioat by
people of no consequence. Therefore
what's the use of bothering about them?
If there was any such report as the

hotels here, it was probably set afoat by
some one stopping there who came over
from Charleston.
