auditor for their company should come
up are the ones and the only ones that
should guide the voters OF this State in
this matter Mr.. Lord offers nothing of
this kind either for or against.
We fully agree with Mr.. Lord that the
fee system ought to be abolished. We
have already expressed ourselves quite as
strongly on this subject as he. 1t is in
iquitous. 1t holds out a constant temp
tation to foster and promote violation of
law. 1t tends to the notification of some
Of the laWs-notably the, law against
the sale OF Intoxicating liquors. 1t re-
wards men for faithlessness to duty, and
demoralizes both the officials and the
public. But the responsibility for it be-
longs to no particular party. It has ex-
listed under Democratic administrations
as we'll as Republican. Almost
every Republican paper in the
State is demanding a radical re-
form in this matter, and we have no
doubt the reform will be accom- plished
next winter through the agency of the
Republican party.
~
hibition is true enough. 1t is undeniably
a fact that in the cities and large towns
the prohibltory law as at present enforced
is a mockery, and it is true also that the
people in these places seem to be utterly
Indifferent to the constant, bold and
brazen notification of a law by officers who
are specially charged with it's enforce
ment and who are charging the public large
sums yearly for work which they do not
do, and which In some cases they openly
and detiantly avow that they do not in
tend to do. But it is useless to talk
about resubmission. Every time tina t
proposition has been submitted it has
been rejected by an overwhelming ma
jority. 1t will be SO this fall. Resabm1s-
sion tends not in the slightest measure
to supply remedy for the present con-
dition of things. That is to be fou nd
only in the quickening of the public con-
science. When the people demand that
the present state of things shall cease it
Will cease. But as long as sheriffs are
rewarded for not enforcing law and pun
ished for enforcing 1t the present cond1-
tion of things will continue. The resub-
mission talk is all nonsense.

CROP CONDITIONS.
Weekly Summary of the weather
bureau.

Washington, July 24.-FolloWing is the
weather bureaus weekly summary of
crop conditions:
Rain is very generally needed in the
Atlantic coast districts north of Florida,
the drought being quite severe in the
Carolinas, New Jersey and portions of
New England, while too much rain has
fallen over portions of the central valley,
northern Texas, the central Gulf states
and northern Florida.
While the condition of corn in Kansas
and Nebraska has improved, the reports
indicate til at much OF the early crop in
portions of these states has been seriously
injured by drought In the other great
corn states of the central valleys the crop
has made rapid growth under highly
favorable conditions.
kRains have interfered with threshing
and the completion of winter wheat har-
vest were unfinished over the more north
erly sections of the central valleys. In the
central valleys and lake region, harvest
ing and threshing have not only been de-
layed but rains have caused injury to
grain in shock in portions of these dis
tricts.
Spring wheat harvest is in gener al
progress in South Dakota.
Dat harvest is nearing completion in
In9 cenGral valleys where the crop has
suffered to some extent from rains.
Haying has been interrupted and the
crop damaged to some extent by rains in
the central valleys. In New York and
New England haying is practically fin
ished, the yield in New York being better
than expected.
Generally there has been some further
Improvement in the condition OF cotto
but the crop is suffering from drought in
the CarOlinas and from too much rain in
portions OF the central belt and portions
OF Texas.
In the Carolinas and Virginia tobacco
has suffered for rain, late rains having
improved the crops in Maryland In the
other tobacco sections the condition Of
the crop is promising. Complaints of
apples dropping continue from many
important apple states in the central
valleys as well as in New England and
portions OF the Middle Atlantic states.

State Historical Association holds it's
second annual meeting at Fort William
Henry, Lake George. In the afternoon
at 2. 30 Professor John Bach McbIaster Of
the University of Pennsylvania will de-
liver the annual address.
Mr.. William w. Rockhill, who has
been chosen by the President as special
commissioner TO investigate affairs in
China, has had much experience in di-
plomatic life. He has just been chief of
the bureau of American republics in
Washington. Previous to this position,
he was minister to Greece. Several years
ago he was secretary of the Ameri-
can Legation at Pekin, serving at Inter-
walls as charge d 'affaires. He had during
his term of service become proficient in
several dialects of the Chinese language
and was recognized as an extraordinary
linguist. He travelled not only in China,
but in Thib3t and wrote an account of
his journeys Under President Cleve-
lands second administration he served
as assistant secretary of state and sup
ported Mckinley In 1896. 1t will be re-
called that he was prominently spoken of
as minister to China before Mr.. Conger' s
appointment. With his knowledge of
the Chinese and his reputed fondness for
the life in China he was said to be much
disappointed when another man was
chosen.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1900-07-25

The President answer to China is not
very different from that OF the European
powers, though couched in language
requisite for the good offices OF this gov
ernment the government of China must
give solemn assurances as to the fate OF
the ministers; must put the ministers
If alive in free communication with thei If
governments; must cooperate with the re-
elief expedition for the relief o + foreign
ers. While the present state OF uncer.
tainty exists in regard to the ministers
the United States, as well as the other
powers, will do nothing in the way of
mediation or settlement. 1t remains to
be seen ii the Chinese government can
and will meet these conditions.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1900-07-25

The easiest and quickest way to con-
vince the powers that the ministers are
alive is to allow the latter to comm uni
cate with their governments. This must
be as patent to the Chinese as to
anybody else. Yet though we
have constant assurances from Shang
and other Chinese officials that all is we'll
with the ministers, not a word comes from
them While this silence continues dis.
trust on the part OF the powers will con-

The suggestion as to the special dis
patch to Mr.. C0nger was that of trained
journalist rather than that of diplomat.
Mr.. Hays experience in the newspaper
field served him in good stead there.
That is the course he would have taken
had he been at the head of great jour
nal, with vast resources for collecting
news and a sleepless vigilance about ar
ranging for scoops. In fact, it is dis.
tinctly journalistic in it's reflection on
the great masters of the craft now In
harness who are not dividing their time
with matters of diplomacy. And may be
Mr.. Hay, when he retires from office

strength OF this achievement, to secure
employment again in the ola field where
he served so long and successfully.

SECURITY.

obvious answer would be that the devils
hand is good deal more apparent.
But we may take it for granted that no
reverent man fails to acknowledge the
hand of God in the Orient as anywhere
else. That this hand can be seen more
clearly there than in the political trou-
bles in Kentucky, or in the big fire at
Hoboken, or in the visit of the Cuban
school teachers in Boston, must be de-
MED. And particularly it must be denied
that the Interpretation of what the pur-
pose of God is IN the Orient is not sub
ject to the Interpretation of DR.. McAr-
thur or any of the other men who rush
forward with their own petty and exceed
ingly human explanations.
