rms poRrENDs TROUBLE.

Japan appears to have at last shown
her hand in China The kilograms say
she has elected to seize the treaty port
OF Annoy and the province of Fo-King,
which district lies Immediately west
of the Japanese island of Formosa, in
the heart Of the sea coast border of the
empire, and whence comes most of our
imports of silks and other valuable
Chinese goods. The province has an
area of $4,000 square miles and a popu-
lation OF 100000 or about half that
Of the japanese empire itself.
If this news be true, it shows that
Japan has at last determined to take
advantage of the present difficulties
and lack of concord among the powers,
and at a late day exact territorial COM
pensation on the mainland for her trou-
BILE, losses and expense in the late war
with China, and as recompense for the
conquests she was forced to yield up
In Uhe north at the behest of Russia in
1896. That the Mikado's government
will be able TO enforce its plans this
time is little short of certain, unless
there should be coalition of the pow
ers against her, which is improbable.
Japan has many men in China now,
she has large army in Formosa, only
a short distance from Annoy, and she
has at least 100,0 900 men modified at
home, while her powerful navy is in
excellent trim for eventualities. 1t is
scarcely probable that any single ma
ton, or any two for that matter, will
u care to try conclusions with the Japs,
1t is more probable that if Japan is in
earnest the other nations will go in for
their share of the territorial plumber.
Russia will seize Manchuria, England
the Kiang valley, France will extend
her territorial interests in the far
south, Germany, Italy and Austria will
get their share, and the United States.
unable to save China or maintain the
open door, will be compelled to with
draw from the scene of operations.
All this is upon the assumption that
the report as to Japan is true. AT this
writing it has not been confirmed, but
It looks probable, and if confirmed, it
Is the end of China as an independent
n6on, and, perhaps, the beginning of

Navigating the Air.

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va. September s.
few weeks ago Governor Atkinson is
sued an order charging certain notaries
public in Kanawha county with prosti-
tuting their official power 10 political pur-
poses, In that they were taking the oaths
OF Republicans that they would not vote
for the Republican candidates on the Re-
publican ticket, alleged to have been nom
mated on the 18th OF May last. and warn
ing them that II they did not desist their
powers as notaries would be revoked.
To-day w. s. Brown, the Republican
county surveyor, wrote an open letter TO
the Governor to be published in the
Charleston Gazette tomorrow morning,
severely denouncing him for prostituting
the powers OF his office to political pur-
poses. in that he made himself a party to
frauds in the Republican primary election
held last May.
The charges against the Governor are
exceedingly sensational and no doubt will
bring on a severe intellectual battle be-
tween the Governor and the Rpublicans in
Kanawha county, who Rave banded them
selves together to defeat the Republican
county ticket.

Gas at Forty Cents a Thousand.

uliduSipHid
While Philadelphians are enjoying the
expensive luxury of dollar gas portions of
Chicago are getting their Illuminating
fluid for forty cents per thousand feet.
This is sixty cents a thousand less than
we pay here.
Forty cents thousand would mean a
saving of sixty per cent on the gas bill of
every user of that illumination In this city.
Persons paying ten dollars quarter for
their gas would get it for. four dollars.
Even at this rate the gas company con-
trolling the city's plant would make a
profit and the people would not be mulcted
out of large sums annually.
In brief, if Chicago can get gas for forty
cents a thousand, what is the matter with
fifty cent gas for Philadelphia Nothing
except that a private company owns the
works.
Let the city regain possession and we
can cut the gas bills In halves.
But We will never cut them in halves so
long as We send Dave Martin or men like
Walton to the Legislature.

ans prayer chain, addressed to tho
Throne Of Grace. The criticisms and
fault-Anding displayed IN these letters
indicates fear that the petitions may
have some effect. Objection is made
both as to the topic of the prayers, and
the manner In which they are offered.
There is even an objection to the
quantity of these prayers, and 1t Is
asserted by one writer that it is quail
ity and not quantity that counts.
The criticisms OF these earnest wom-
en- appear to be out of place. That
they are good women must be as
sumed; that they are earnest and con-
scientious may be safely taken for
granted; that their prayers, upon any
subject will be heard, is tenet or
Christianity and there Is a widespread
belief among those who believe in God
that He not only hears but grants, In
at least some form or at some time,
the petitions of His creatures. If the
Indiana temperance women elect to
pray for a cause in which they believe,
that is not only their privilege, but
they should be removed from criticism.
1t does not lie in the mouth of any
man to dictate what any other man or
woman shall pray for. That is mat
ter for conscience, and a subject for
Creator and created alone. Flippant
criticisms of conscientious actions
show bad taste, poor Judgment, and a
lack of reverence. No harm can come
to any man or woman through earnest
prayer, but harm may come to those
who scott, sheer, criticize or ridicule.

Boston Herald.
There was a notable gathering of old
folks up in the little town of Charlemont
the other day when the chairman called
for all present over 20 years OF age, to
arise, and seventy-two responded. He
then asked all those who were over 50 to
rise. and there were twelve who had pass
ed that limit. A similar call for all over 30
brought four members of the gathering to
their feet. Probably the remark Of one of
the speakers, that such a gathering of old
folks as this in the rural districts could
scarcely be duplicated anywhere, is true.
