A SOCIETY OF BEGGARs. ALI
Chi amen believe in society, not
the society that is banded together
for social amusement, but the kind
that is formed tor protection or ag-
gression. In fact, China is the
hotbed Of societies, and there are
more OF them than can be enumer-
ated by the missionary. Perhaps
the eldest OF these societies is that
formed by the beggars. 1t is as
powerful almost as that Of the
Boxers" and 1t numbers thou
sands in its ranks, as anyone can
testify who has visited the princi-
pal cities OF the Celestial Empire.
The head Of the society is called
king oil the Beggars," and he
rules as If he we're a potentate.
He is recognized by the Govern.
ment, and his orders are obeyed
implicitly by all his Subs scts, the
members OF the society. The seat
Of his government IS at Peking.
Before its gates are thousands OF
the members OF his society, and
they are repulsive looking crowd.
They fear no man, save their king,
and are as like to clutch your coat
with scaly hands as not. The only
way you can treat with them is to
buy them of. They prey upon
their own race as well as upon
foreigners, and one Of their
methods resembles that Of the
famed brigands oi Italy. i accom-
panied a missionary party to
Shanghai several years ago, saws a
traveller, and, with that city as nv
headquarters, visited several OF the
outlying towns. The beggars
there were as thick as bees. While
was on an excursi n to Flu Chang,
a small town about fourteen miles
from Shanghai, the horde OF beg
gars descended upon the place. Ii
was fairly besieged. Beggars sat
in every doorway; nor would they
move, and It was impossible 70
escape them. For several days
this siege was continued, until in-
ally the principal merchants OF the
place signified their willingness to
pay. The king OF the horde ar
rived the next day, a sum 1900
was paid over to him, and by night
fall there wasn't sign Of a beggar.
They had gone to another town to
levy tribute. Books could be
written Of the beggars and their
methods, but perhaps their worst
offense is at the graveYarls. They
frequently refuse to allow bodies
to be buried until they are paid,
and / heard that when the mourn
ers are obstinate the beggars act
ually jump into the grave, where
the remain until they obtain the
price demanded.

"Americans First"
The St. Louis Republic has an
excellent and exceedingly timely
article under the above caption.
It says, and truly, that Republicans
are leaving the party because tnev
are Americans first" and party
men afterwards. This is true in
particular Of Americans OF German
descent. AS long as the Republi
can party, was true 10 the traditions
and principles OF Abraham Lin
coin, and OF the Fathers Of the Re
public, the German-Amer,cans
were with them in large numbers.
But when, under the maliPn infiu-
ence OF Mark Hanna and Steve
Elkins, men aetuated only by
greed and commercialism, the Re.
publican party adopted the career
OF England, and went in tor subject
peoples and standing armies; when
in the words OF Senator yelling
ton, William Mckinley, who was
elected to be President Of tie
United States, abdicated that posi-
ton to become "pro. consul OF the
Queen OF Great Britain" then
every true American, whether OF
native or foreign birth, abandoned
the party for the new and 'i,alized
Democracy under the leadership
OF William Jennings Bryan.
The Republic says:
Former Congressman ohnsOn,
oi Indiana, who now leaves the
Republican party because he can
not bring himself to support the
Hanna Nc k,nleY policy Of imFe-
rialism and militarism, is but one
OF many faithful Americans who
place their duty to their country
above their duty to their party.
at is not at all strange that con-
sistent Americans should be unable
to follow President Mckinley into
the paths OF empire, abandoning
an overthrown republic to the fate
Of all betrayed governments.
When President McKinley's dream
OF empire FIRST began to develop,
following the temptation created
by the results %. the war with
Spain, It alarmed and dismayed
some OF the soundest thinkers
among the Republican leaders. A
very notable group, comprising
such men as ex-Speaker Reed, OF
Maine; Senator Hoar, oil Massa-
chusetts; ex Senator Edmunds, Of
Vermont; Congressman Burrows,
Of MICHIGAN, and others OF equal
distinction, opposed the Presidents
imperia. policy on principle. They
clearly saw the danger to Tree in
stjtutions.
This plain perception OF the
peril now confronting the Ameri-
can system extends downward
from these eminent Republicans
through the rank and file ol the
party. With the vast majority who
see that the time has come when
they may not, as Americans, fol-
low their Old party colors, there is
no disposition to seek notoriety by
loudly prcclaiming their intention
Of voting against the plotters for
empire. They still love their party.
They hope to see it reclaimed from
the error Of its ways. They pray
that il may be brought back to the
true American faith. In the mean
time they will so vote as to prevent
that betrayal of liberty which is
now sought by the men who have
already made the Republican party
an n-AmeTican party"

IRON BEDsTEADS AND HARDWARE
IN SYRIA--Consul Schumann
writes from Mainz, August 40,
1900:
A German export journal calls
attention TO the fact that iron bed
steads are being successfully in

about $3.50 iron bedsteads were
imported at Beirut from Blrming-
ham, England, The selling Urice
was about e los, (SIa ,6o) for

To PRESERVE VINE a com;
munlcation recently made to the
Agricultural Society OF France, NJ.
Nassiliere gave an account Of
new process OF preserving wine
from the action OF microbes which
attack it when in the ca5k. When
the wine is placed in a cask which
has been left empty for some time,
It IS subject to dett rioration owing
to the action OF the different mi
crobes, these b,ing propagated
when the wine is in contact with
the air. The expedient generally
in use consists in burning sulphur
in tFe empty cask to purify it. The
eXpeTimenter proposes to remedy
the difficulty by covering the wire
with layer Of carbonic acid gas,
which, being more dense, drives
out the air and takes it place. The
carbonic acid is liquehed IN tubes
Of chrome steel provided with a
reservoir in which il takes he gas
eous form before passing into the
cask; the reservoir IS provided with
a rubber tube which descends into
the Cask, and also with a pressure
gauge by whose indications the
supply Of gas is regulated, By
this msthod very good results have
been attained and at a small cost

FEMALE CLERKS.
Women Begin to Crowd the Men il
Japan.

The Japanese correspondent writes:
"Female clerks are now employed in
the dry goods department of the Nit
sui firm. They are reported to be much
superior to men, being more neat, pain
stalking and industrious. AT present
they are exclusively employed in the
examination office where, it appears
the dresses made to order by men
tailors are brought and examined be-
fore being sent out. The telephone
room is also exclusively in their charge.
In this they are also superior to men.
Their clear voices are more distinctly
heard than the coarse, thick voices of
men, while they are more polite in their
talk,-a circumstance which is greatly
appreciated by lady customers. On the
whole, women are gradually pushing
forward and competing for bread with
men. What with female competition,
the increasing cost of necessaries and
the scarcity of employment except at
low wages, men are finding their posi-
ton very difficult. AS an illustration
of this, it may be mentioned that the
services of graduates of private law
schools can be obtained, say, for yen
Is per month. There are thousands of
these young men who would be only
too pleased to accept any position
which brings them even that scanty
means of livelihood. The prominent
lawyers of the capital say that their
offices are besieged by applicants OF
this description"
