a center one. and while he was able to
skilfully evade it. the Reflector seems
it writhes over What it considers the
audacity of stirring up the aid para

lies in another direction. The Reflector

same desperate state of mind as its

question is too serious to be put aside
by this stirring up of dust and scplding

Increase over last year averages over
20 per cent. The largest gain was in
dry goods and millinery, closely fol-
lowed by shoes. None of these lines
gained less than IS per cent altho last
years trade was exceptionally heavy.
Trade is good at southern points. At
New Orleans jobbers in all lines report
a good volume of business and collec-i
Stions are fairly up to expectations.
At Tacoma trade shows a steady im-..
provement.
AT Havana, Cuba, business continues
backward. This is in some measure
due 10 the partial failure of the sugar
crop and inferior quality of the tobacco
crop Interest now centers in the con-
stitutional convention which conyenes
early in November. and merchants are
awaiting the establishment of per-
manent form of government before en-
tering on new business enterprises.
Jobbers sell on close credit and seek
few new customers. The recent cleo
ton to rhe8 constitutional8c convention re-
suited in the choice of a large majority
of natienalists and republicans Who
favor independence.

OLD CHINA.

Old China, stupeled with years,
Aye Centuries, Of decay and slOth;
Sore burdened with corroding fears
OF change and progress. ever 10th
To breast the currents while the world
Around you Surged, a foaming sea;
Fate's tardy hand has swiftly whirled
And struck your hour of destiny.
Badgered and bulIied till the fires
OF hate and rage the land have swept
To warn you, should from earth have
leaped
Were they hundred fold more stout,
Your massive walls and ancient gates,
They could not keep the avenger out,
Nor check the furies and the fateS
Whom they'd destroy In days of old
The Jealous gods bereft of sense;
Mans mad caprices we behold
Still ordered by Omnipotence-
Your folly WOoed the wrath you feared,
When you all Christendom defied.
The barriers you for ages reared
In one fell hour were dashed aside.
Behold your laundering ship Of state
Astrand; all craft is powerless,
Or lying tactics; all too late
Ye float the signal of distress,
The great bear growls, the lion roars;
Beware the outraged eagles flight,
God help you, China, when the powers
For reStributiOn shall unite.
Not wantonly to wreck and slay,
Go forth the martial hosts; the Lord
In modern, as in ancient day.
Has realms and dynasties destroyed,
To build anew. Ye blindly grope
In darkness; loI We bring our best.
The light of faith, the larger hope,
And sturdy manhood of the west
