Editorial Ink Drops.

It is matter for general congratula. tion that the Academy is not to close, but is to reopen in September under the able principalship of William W. Gard ner of Massachusetts, who comes very highly recommended. This pleasing re- suit would not have been attained had 1t not been for the disinterested action of President Linsley of the Academy EBoard of Trustees and few others. What this town really needs is revival of true public spirit. The narrow and selfish spirit shown by some of our people bless ed with large means is both humiliating and disgusting. To refuse to aid worthy projects like the Academy and Library simply because they do not stand in your dooryard is exhibiting trait that would do credit to the Chinese or Hottentots.
 The "Gossip habit" is often one of the unfortunate features of a community like our own. There are some in our midst who might with profit read the advice given by Margaret E. Sangster in the Ladies' Home Journal for September. She says: Gossip may be friendly and neighborly. I like the word because it conveys a suggestion of good news or good comment, but it is no longer gossip when 1t ceases to deal with pleasant hap penings and loving wishes, and becomes critical or censorious or lapses into sian. der. The most unworthy talk in the world is that which is carried on in whis- pers and semi.confdences, and which re- tails the unfortunate errors of people whom we know. Never to say an un- kind thing, never to imply an unfriendly thing even by our silence are rules which we should make and to which we should scrupulously adhere.

A WARNING 70 CHINA.
United States Government Urges Suppress
sion of BOXERS"

United States Government Urges Suppres-
sion of "Boxers."
Washington, May 25.-The United
States government has taken a hand in
the suppression of the Boxers" in
China. Minister Conger has been in
structed by the State Department to
inform the Chinese government that
the government of the United States
expects 1t to stamp out promptly and
thoroughly this society and to provide
proper guarantees for the maintenance
of peace and order and the protection
of the life and property Of Americans
in China, all now threatened/by the OPP
GRAFTON of the Boxers"
There is no indications in the instruc-
tions as to the course that will be pur-
sued by the United States in case the
Chinese government fails to observe
the warning conveyed in this commun-
ication.
Mr.. Conger is acting on parallel lines
with the representatives of every
European power at the Chinese court.
but has not joined in any concert of ac-
ton.
1t is realized here that the Chinese
government in dealing with the Boxers
will encounter much difficulty, as the
pose. Its contention is that the teach
ings of the Christians are in their re-
suits absolutely destructive of the Chi
nese system of government.
The Boxers now are not attacking
foreign missionaries, but are killing
the Chinese who allow themselves to
be converted TO Christianity. This
phase of the matter is difficult to deal
with. as it heretofore has been a well
recognized right of a nation to deal
with its own subjects at its pleasure.
Mr. Conger's latest advice to the
State Department indicates that this
troublesome society is waxing strong
in the very heart of Pekin, the Chinese
capital, and it was evident from the
tone of his dispatch that a crisis was
approaching which would either cause
drastic action by the Chinese govern
ment. or n hostile demonstration by the
powers in the near future.

CATION.
That Congress must make a thorough
investigation of every department of
the government in Cuba is the conclu-
sion being gradually forced upon the
administration leaders in both houses
Nothing short of searching inquiry by
n committee containing representatives
of the minority party will be accepted.
1t is declared that the investigation
will show that through lax business
methods and incompetent and unscrup-
ulous employees thousands of dollars
have been diverted from legitimate
channels into the pockets of dishonest
officials and their accomplices.

The discovery that there is a kind
of struggle for existence and survival
of the fittest among rivers is one of
the most interesting results OF the
modern study of photography. A not
able example of this contest is ex-
hibited by England's two longest
rivers, the Thames and the Severn.
Between their valleys lie the Cotswold
Hills, and exploration shows that the
Severn, by eating backward among
these hills, where softer strata under
lie them, has diverted to itself some
of the headwaters, which formerly
flowed into the Thames. So consider
able has this action been that the two
rivers concerned have been denomi-
uated the waxing Severn and the
waning Thames"

According to New York paper, the

Before meeting of the Biological
Society of Washington Mr.. w. A.
Orton described the result of expert
ments made to determine the cause Of
the flow of maple sap in the early
spring. His conclusion was that the
flow has a mechanical cause, being due
to the increasing heat which expands
the gases in the wood cells, and thus
forcibly expels the sap. This contra
diets the view that the flow of sap is
due only to physiological action in the
plant.

The powerful influence exerted by
trivial circumstances receives new en-
phasis in the fact that the officials OF
the United States treasury regard the
recent petition for the coinage OF half
cents as fresh Indication OF business
prosperity Since billion cents arc
already in circulation and since there
is monthly coinage of four millions
more, the supply of small change is
certainly not scanty. There are two
sides to the question of adding the new
coin to the list. Asa Gray once at
tempted TO convince Darwin of the
superiority OF the American over the
English currency system. Il cannot
agree with you, replied the evolution
list. ITO me money naturally divides
itself into pounds. shillings and
pence" While the American smiles he
still cherishes "A belief that the natural
subdivision OF money stops at the cent!
