A MATTER, in no sense partisan, but OF
value to the township of Paw Paw,
should, we believe, be brought before the
legislature this winter. Several years
ago, under the law, the township board
was forced to divide this township into
two election precincts. The law is now
changed, SO that there would be no ne
cessity for division if the two precincts
were again together, but there is no pro-
vision whatever in the statutes for doing
away with the precincts after a township
is once divided There is absolutely no
necessity for two precincts in Paw Paw
township. The division causes confu-
sion, and so far as the work of canvass
ing votes is concerned the board in pre-
cinct No. now has more to do than a
board would have in canvassing the vote
of the whole township, and there is de-
lay instead of speed in completing the
work. The expense of maintaining the
e3tra precinct is considerable, and no
Is gained by it. South Haven,
with 30 per cent more votes, has but one
precinct and no difficulty is experienced
in handling the vote. For the sake of
economy and convenience, there should
be but one voting precinct in Paw Paw
township.

Comparison.

After an election, comparison of fig
ures with those of preceding elections is
always interesting. A fact brought
out by such comparison this year is the
fact that never but once in Van Buren,
county, in presidential election, has
the republican party had so large ma
jority over al opposition on the electoral
ticket, and that was in 1872, when de-
mocracy refused to swallow the nomina-
ton OF Greeley. Following are the figures:

CHINESE MADE GOOD FIGHT,
Capt. McCalla Says Their Resistance
Surprised Foreigners.

CHICAGO, August 15.-Capt B. H Nc
Gala of the cruiser Newark who was in
command of the American marines in Ad-
miral Seymour's unsuccessful expedition
for the relief of Pekin, believes that the
Chinese situation is more serious and
fraught with more dangers to the United
States and the allies than any one imag-
ined before the capture of the Taku forts
Writing to Mrs. Edward Robey of this city
form Yokohama, whittier he had been in
valided by the three wounds which he re-
ceiFed during the ill-starred Seymour ad-
vance on July 26, Capt. McCalla says:
Certainly no foreigner In our columns of
100 officers and men believed that the
Chinese would do so well and no one ex-
cept the agents who have been selling arms
ana munitions of war to China since the
close OF the Japanese war had any concep-
tlon OF the vast amount of money which the
Pekin government had expended in prepa-
rationS for another war And while the
ShlleSe would not or could not stand
against us in the open they inflicted Sc
we're punishment on us while we were driy-
ing them out of the villages and from be-
hind mud walls
capt. McCalla in concluding says so far
as he can judge the international problem
now to be solved in China is most inter
esunB and very difficult He also saws
that the United States may be called upon
on account of It's large trade interests in
CHINA to adopt and declare an interna-
tonal policy which can only be enforced
by large navy.

There has been strong undercurrent

sudden revival of the 'qdeue-cutting mania

such condition that he could not make pub
lie speeches. He took his family to Wash

political letters for newspapers.
His throat continued to trouble him, and
in the spring of 1899 he returned to Atchi-
son and placed himself under the care of a
specialist. He obtained no relief, and early
last fall he was informed by his physicians
that it would be dangerous for him to re-
main In this climate during the winter. He
went to Las Vegas at once.

was three judgments, aggregating $500,
secured against the steamship company

sum of $4,000.

GOLD MOVEMENT IS NATURAL.
Secretary Gage Not Anxious Owe,
Large Foreign Shipments

Secretary Gage was today asked by a
representative of The Star if the outward
gold movement was adversely affecting
treasury interests. or was likely to trouble
or impair the gold reserve. The Secretary
replied that he was suffering no anxiety at
all on that score. THE movement" he
said, 'is entirely natural, and nature al
ways tends to establish just equilibriums
The negotiation on this side of so large
part of the English loan fully explains the
movement We have gold to spare, and it
will go, and ought to go, where it can be
most profitably employed.
AT the moment that place of most need
appears to be Great Britain and the CONT
nent. We have a large supply of the yell
low metal-an increasing supply when our
domestic production is considered. besides
this, We are buying at our assay offices on
the Pacific coast almost the entire product
of the British Klondike region. With our
great resources, We can, as long as we
maintain the gold standard and keep the
public credit good, retain for our own use
