If being in favor of this govern
ment's retaining the right to de-
fend the Nicaraguan Canal in its
own way be jingoism, a majority of
the United States are jingos, as
the Senate has amended the Hay
Pauncefote Canal treaty to that
effect. The talk of some Senators
during the debate which led to the
adoption of the amendment indi-
Gated quite strongly that the Pan
anna lobbyists have not yet aband-
oned hope of in some way pre-
venting the passage of legislation
for the construction of the Nicara-

This year Toronto elected a
mayor that favored the annexation
of Canada to the United States. A
local paper says: Annexation is
measure to be wished for and far
from being displeasing to the great
mass of people in Canada, who de-
sire to become some of the stars in
the greatest flag in the world,
rather than be ruled by little fat
woman that encourages such

Affairs in the Transvaal do not
seem to improve, if, as the des-
patches announce today, General
De Wet and his force have again
escaped from the British detach-
ments sent against them. Good
authorities estimate that there are
still about $4,000 Beers in arms,
and in country like the Trans
veal that number can give q great
deal of trouble. Meantime the
military conditions still prevent a
general return of workmen to the
Witwatersrand, and the date for re-
opening the mines is still post
poned. The disappointment to
British stockholders is great, es-
,pecially as there is no prospect of
Nh improvement soon. The min
i1g companies have given many
orders for machinery and supplies,
but these cannot be forwarded un-
til there is a material change.

TWELVE "GOOD TEN AND
TRUE"

The newspapers have been print
ing for q couple of weeks details
of the trial of one Jessie Morrison,
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Castle. at Eldorado, Kansas. Yes
terday the jury was discharged, as
after four days of confinement it
was unable to agree. 1t stood
nine to three in favor of acquittal.
The Morrison woman killed her
rival; had she killed the man in
the case she should have been ac-
quilted triumphantly and married
the next day with public cere-
monies. Because of her failure SO
to do and as further cause of Of
fense for killing an innocent
woman she deserved the severest
punishment possible in a state,
which, like Colorado, has not quite
recovered from its journey after
the strange god of Populism.
Kansas thought it was improving
on the Mosaic law some years
ago, when it abolished capital pun
ishment. 1t is the belief of the
genus Populist that murder and all
crimes have their origin in the
national capital and that proper
Legislation will abolish original sin.
One of those brainless cads to be
found in the country store, smell
ing of hair oil and lavender water,
made love to the woman who muir
dered and the woman who was
murdered. He married the latter
and encouraged the former. The
woman scorned" could not be ex-
pected to be endowed with ordi-
nary reasoning faculty and put the
blame on one of her sex and
slashed her with q razor. The
wounded woman made dying
statement which told Of the attack
made by the jealous woman.
No sane person disputed the
guilt of the Morrison woman. She
committed murder, because the
killing of her rival was premedi-
tated. Eldorado was searched for
twelve men who thought they
could do justice. They were
chosen from over 200 and their
conduct since does not say much
for the intelligence of Eldorado.
True, they were not altogether to
blame. The defendant had the
fools and sentimental idiots of sew
eral counties to her aid. She was
daily presented with flowers and
offers of marriage; when she wept
hundreds wept and when she
deigned to smile Eldorado did not
belle its classic title. The scenes
in the court room every day were
such that justice could hardly be
looked for. The dead woman who
had not injured the murderer or
any one else connected with the
crime, was forgotten. Nine of the
jury decided to take the word of q
living criminal defending her free
dom in court to the statement of
an innocent woman made at a
time when the angel Of death was
lowering near. The nine should
be committed to an asylum for the
care Of the INDECENT and weak
minded. Herald Demo-

CHRISTMAS.


estant or Catholic, believer or inf
del, no sane man will deny that
the life of the man Christ was the
most beautiful and perfect life
ever lived upon the earth, and that
his example and teaching have
raised the world to higher and
higher planes of living, and proved
the inspiration for the greatest and
best things these centuries have
known.
1t is an uplifting thought that
for one day the world steps aside
from the routine of life, with its
selfish rush for gain, to contem-
plate the life of cne whose every
utterance in word and deed was a
benefaction. All men in civilized
lands thus get into their hearts for
one day in the year, at least, a
little of the religion of love- the
essence of what the Bethlehem
babe came to teach.
One has said that there is a
place in the universe where the
myriad sounds of earth and sky
blend into one great and splendid
note of praise to the Creator; an
other has said that if our ears
were fashioned to catch the minut-
est sound-waves, we might hear
the music of springing blade and
bursting bud; still another has said
thatall nature sings a continual
anthem of thanksgiving, and that
man alone of all created things,
though made in the image of his
Maker, is prone to forget.
Suppose with ears fashioned to
catch the faintest sounds, we could
stand on that spot where all sounds
of earth blend into one, as this
most blessed day of all the year
approaches. Day after day the
note of joy increases, as men turn
from the struggle of daily life to
deeds of kindness and thoughts of
sympathy and love. AS Christ
mas eve draws nigh, the tone be-
comes tender and sweet, as mothers
tuck their little ones into bed and
tip-toe about the house, their
hearts throbbing with the Joy of
making others happy; and as morn
ing breaks on the blessed day we
hear the diapason of widest mel
ody that floats up from palace and
cottage, a chord in which is min
gled church bells and myriad
choirs, the mellowed voices of the
aged, and the merry shouts of chill
dren. How marvellous that note as
it rolls in from every land! We
can imagine all Heaven listening
to hear the grandest of hallelujahs
of the universe, "Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men,"

crease this indefinitely. Compared with
the old engine we reckon on getting double
the horse power in the same space and
saving third OF the weight"

TRADE At 4 SPANDS1ILL
American Goods Being Held in
Shanghai Warehouses.
Credit Refused Merchants by the
Native Observation-Disclosures Expected
to Revive After the Troubles Are
Over-Considernblc Rise in the
Price of Commodities Predicted.

NEW YORK, July l4.-One of the largest
received private advices in regard to trade
conditions in China. In general, this new
information confirms the statement re-
Gently issued by the Hongkong and shang-
hal banking corporation. A member Of the
firm receiving the dispatches said today:
when the Shanghai Bank issued its
statement to the effect that all storage IA
ciiities at Shanghai were exhausted, and
that shipments should. wherever possible,
be held back till next year. many local
merchants were somewhat skeptical. 1t
was limited that the statement was issued
solely to prevent certain houses from ship
ping. We know now, however, beyond
question that the report is true in every
detail; that the Shanghai warehouses
are crammed to the.doors, more goods are
constantly coming In, and very few are
being withdrawn. This situation is this:
THE Chinese merchants are in the habit
OF ordering goods from this country to be
paid for on arrival. The money for this
purpose is borrowed from one OF the native
banks. The goods. meanwhile lie in the
cOmpany's storehouses. At present the To-
cal banks have practically declined to do
any further business until the trouble is
over. The Chinese-all but very few
cannot get money to obtain their goods,
and the warehouses are packed tighter
and tighter every day, with no imme-
date prospect OF relief. Even the local
merchants who can afford to pay spot cash
sometimes prefer to leave their goods In
bond. In certain cases there is actual dan
ger in moving them to their destination.
AS result of the congestion. shipments of
goods, except those for immediate purchase
at the dock. will have to be stopped en-
tirely.
"As to trade In the other direction, I'M
less the trouble spreads to the southern
part of the Empire, expect no bad effects.
Exports from China will be stimulated, If
anything on account of the desire OF mer-
chants TO get their goods out of the coun-
try and into safety just as soon as pos
sible. A slight increase of exports can. l
think, already be noted. The silk season Is
Just beginning and the merchants have not

the goods to rush out. but tea exports are
at their height and great amounts are COM
ing to the ports.
III the Boxer revolt spreads over the
southern as well as the northern part Of
the Empire 1t means, of course, that all
trade will come to a standstill. The pow
ers will probably be able by force to keep
the treaty ports open and protect the prop
erty and interests of the American con-
Germs doing business there, but whether
the ports were open or not there could be
no trade.
I'm regard to the general Injurious eff
fec. of the Boxer outbreak on trade, it
will not be SO great, l think, as some peo-
pie are inclined to imagine. An uprising,
revolt, or even a war in China has not
such grave after effects as 1t would with
US. Experience shows that after the
trouble is over the people will Settle back
into their former conditions very quickly
The demand for the kinds OF goods We sup
ply them-cotton, for instance, continues
right through the war. The people are fed
and clothed about as usual"
With reference to the predicted rise In
the prices Of all goods imported from
China, another merchant said:
There will doubtless be a considerable
rise in the prices of most Chinese commod-
ically the reasons for 1t will be almost
entirely sentimental. Both the supply and
demand for these goods have SO far re-
manned practically normal. In the case of
tea rise was to be expected, war or no
war, for tea has sold at unnaturally low
figures for some time past"
China imported during 1889 from Amer
lea cotton manufactured goods to the value
Of $40, 27S.C00. and from the United King
dom SIG. 1885. COO and the estimated imports
from Continental Europe and other coun-
tries using American cotton equivalent to

partly from India and other cotton. for
which an allowance must be made, but
not greater than 10 per cent. Japan i'm

Decision by Secretary Long Con-
corning Appropriation for Them.

=
decision covering the question of how
much money was made available by Con-
gress for the construction of the three pro-
tected cruisers of about 5000 tons dis
placement, recently authorized. has been
made by the Secretary of the Navy. The
Naval act for this year provided certain
amounts for the construction OF battleships
and armored cruisers exclusive OF amor
and armament" and s., s00,0 600 each for the
three protected cruisers exclusive OF arm
ament" The question was asked by the
chief of the Bureau of Ordnance whether
the appropriation for the protected cruis-
ers included the cost Of the armament and
the Secretarys decision is in answer to
that enquiry. Secretary Long says:
ct is observed that in fixing the limit
OF cost Of the battleships and the arInored
cruisers authorized by the same act, the
cost OF both armor and armament Is ex-
cluded. and that similar difference in Ian
guage appears in the Naval Appropriation
act, approved May 4, 1898. where the limit
of cost OF the battleships therein authorized
does not include armor or armament.
whereas the cost Of the monitors excludes
only armament.
Protected cruisers generally do not
carry arInor within the meaning OF that
term as defined in the opinion OF the At
torney General. dated January 81. 1889.
and 1t may be that this fact accounts for
the failure OF the act OF June last to ex-
cept armor in fixing the cost OF the pro-
tected cruisers therein authorized. But 1t
seems clear, in view OF the definite Ian
guage of said act, that the cost of such
armor as It is intended to place on said
three protected cruisers. excepting such
shields and projections as are directly and
necessarily connected with the efficient
and safe working of the guns. torpedoes.
etc, must be included in the limit of cost.
s., SOC. 600, of each Of said-three protected
cruisers: the armor to be paid for pro-
portionately from the appropriation in the
same act under 'armor and armament of
81. O00. coo toward the armament and armor
of domestic manufacture for the vessels
referred to in said act
Naval officials say that as very little
armor will be required on tho three pro-
tected cruisers the amount that must be
used from the appropriation of s2,s0o,000
each for the purchase Of armor will be
comparatively small. and that probably
enough money will be left to build ves-
sells OF the character contemplated.
