THE CHINESE QUESTION.

For at least quarter of century the Wise of the
West have intervals propheed the ultimate dsmembe
ment Of the Chinese empire They have predicted that such
part would go Russia other part England
and until the socaed civilized powers absorbed the
great Chinese empire containing nearly onehd of the total
population of the earth All this WE'LL was easily
accomplished paper but has yet pass and
it is question whether will not and whether it
would be to the best interests of the world if it did,
Of all the great powers the United States clearly sug
gests the sensible plan of dealing with Chna-naney
the maintaining of the open door order that the
Of the world may longer be crippled by Chna lack of
progress.
1t is certainly dangerous thing for the powerful
of the earth endorse the that might makes right
and therefore pounce upon the Celestial empire and pecemea
it out to another for in the Distribution after years
war the prize which has of doubt about
there will naturally arise dissenton and dissatisfaction which
will inevitably terminate in bitter between the nations
causing breaking up of the harmony believed exist
This will bring about wreched of affairs, which
alive the globe will live adjusted and hence
poserity will receive from legacy of hatred toward each
other that will unsete the worldly peace for centuries The
whole of China ten times told not valuable enough the
civilized nations i'll control of the world Justify such
be visited the children the third and fourth
generation.
The proper and reasonable thing to do is China
naton compromise all international affairs and leave
children river of peace and plenty and river of
blood and destruction.
We only have life lease of the affairs of this world and
civilized beingsfoowers of the meek and owly One,
who brought peace earth, good will man, duty
to leave the world IN better condition than when found
it, and tear not accepted Let the plan of the United
States prevail and thus do with the likelihood of half

Swallowed a Twenty.

About 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon
man who has been resident of
Jackson for some time, was around one
of the saloons in town, and, unfortun-
ately for him, displayed a twenty
dollar piece. This was rare sight for
some of those who saw the coin. and
several, in a joking manner, made a
grab for it. A good-natured scuffie
then ensued, and in endeavoring to
save the coin he unwittingly put it into
his mouth. In laughing, the twenty"
slipped back into his throat, and in a
moment he began coughing, but his
efforts to emit the coin were in vain
and 1t passed on down to the stomach.
He went to his boarding house and
nervously told the landlady of the oc-
currence. She advised him to take
some physic Immediately, but he did
not do so. He went TO DR.. Endicott,
who told him he had done right in not
taking the physic, and advised him to
eat solid foods. The man feels no in
convenience from the foreign substance
In his stomach, but nevertheless feels
quite nervous, and, indeed, he has
good cause to be, for he may vet ex-
perience serious trouble.

Land Patent Held Valid.

In the United States Circuit Court
Monday of this week Judge Beatty or
dered DECREE in favor of the defend.
ant in the suit of the United States
against Job Petit, an action to vacate
an agricultural land patent issued to
J. Claiborne for a tract near Ply
mouth in this county.
The complaint averred that the pat
ent was obtained through the false
representation that the land was more
valuable for agricultural purposes than
for minerals, and in proof OF this aver
ment the fact was cited that the mother
lode of the Amador county mines runs
through the land. Ex-Judge Curtis H.
Lindley appeared for Petit and proved
to the satisfaction of the Court that at
the time the patent was applied for
and after it was obtained the land was
used for agricultural purposes, and he
argued that the fact the mineral was
afterward discovered on the land did
not necessarily show that fraudulen
representation had been made
