From the Bost6n Gl0be.
Joe" Howard recently prODOunded the
following question In the Sunday Globe:
Are old age and great wealth desira-
ble?" and he mentioned several distin-
guished people who chased or were chas-
ing the almighty dollar 10 the grave A
most conspicuous illustration Of wealth IN
old age is England's aged Queen. She is
not only the richest sovereign that has
ever occupied the English throne. but
probably the most economical and thrifty.
She Is said 10 have amassed a private
fortune Of s5e9a.00. much Of which has
been heaped up during the last fifteen
years.

Plentiful Supply of Oranges.

From the Chicago Tribune
Natures bounty in 1900 has beer shown
by her lavish gifts of fruit, and the year
will be memorable in this regard. All
summer fruit was cheap and plentiful, and
as the peach season ended grapes and ap-
pies, as good as ever eaten and at prices
to place them within the reach of the
poorest people, came into the market,
Now it is asserted that the same condi-
tons Will obtain in the chief winter fruit,
oranges. Reports from California are
that the supply is eEornoHs and prices
are low. Usually a dismal tale comes
from Florida of the failure of the crop
there. Not so this year. The Florida
orange crop is unique. like this years
peach crop in Michigan and Delaware.
1t has not failed II is announced that
the yield will be 1,000000 boxes, which is
greater than for many years. The Cali
fornia fruit Will, however, continue TO
supply the greatest portion of the demand
and it is likely TO be proportionately large.
Thus all winter every one will be able 10
continue the healthful fruit diet.

Hon. William L. Wilson.

The death OF this distinguished gentle
man means the disappearance Of one Of
the kindest. most courteous, and most
loyable personalities that have ever graced
public life in this country. He was a
scholar. student, and a patriot; a gem
tleman Of birth and breeding, refined,
hIgh-minded, and honorable in every re-
lati0n Of life. Ever since his maturity
he had been prominent. His conspicu-
Gus abilities and his demonstrated integ-
rity commanded the respect Of all who
knew him, and from the day he settled
down 20 the practice Of the law in
Charlestown he was. almost uninterrupt-
edly, called upon by his neighbors for pub
lie service OF one kind or another. He
had been at the head OF universities, he
had occupied a seat in Congress, he had
filled score Of offices of high trust and
great responsibility. His last position
under government was that of Postmaster
General In the second Cleveland adminis-
tration. From that place he retired to
private life and became president OF the
'fN-"-tt4tE NDA anu A<-C IAhfAEAAgs dl LIZA
ingtOn, Va, which office he held up TO
the moment OF his death.
Mr.. Wilson had often, during his roliti-
cal career, encountered partisan antago-
nism and provoked partisan dissent. This
was only natural, since he, a man of great
intellectual powers, profound information,
and unquestionable sincerity. could not fail
10 attract the fire Of those who combated
the policies and principles he advocated
with such force OF leadership. But no
one, knowing him, ever questioned his
integrity or ventured TO asperse his mo-
tives. He was loved by followers and adj
versaries alike, and II his gifts made
him the target OF the opposition in great
Marty controversies, his private virtues
secured for him the affection and esteem
Of all. He will leave TO his family the
priceless legacy OF an unspotted name
and to his eountrymen the example of
splendid and unselfish patriotism.

OUR POLICY IN CHINA.
Ia ArrsnsIss fer Peace We should "naks
the Punishment Fir the Crime.''

From tie Chicago Inter oSssn.
The Chinese government. through II
Hung Chang and Prince Ching. has sub
mitted propositions as a basis for peace
negotiations. The ENJOYS promise. on the
part Of the government. indemnity for le-
cation and other property destroyed. pun-
ishment under Chinese law for princes
and leaders responsible for recent out
RACES. modification OF treaties. and guar
antics for the future The ENJOYS ask
the withdrawal Of the allied troops from
Pekin. the cessation Of hostilities. and the
reinstatement OF the tSung Ii yamen.
This Is practically an acceptance Of the
terms submitted by the United States. ex-
eept on one important point relating 70
the punishment OF offenders. In TIE first
note Of the State Department at wash
ingtOn 1t was. stipulated that there should
be on the part OF the Chinese government
indemnity for the past. adequate guaran-
ties for the future. and punishment for
those responsible for recent outrages n
Pekin and elsewhere. In the American
notes In reply 70 the propositions submit
ted oy Russia, Germany. and France the
same points were emphasized. and IL vas
stipulated that the princes and other
leaders TO be punished should be desig-
mated by the representative OF the allied
powers at Pekin.
The United States dissented from the
Russian proposition to withdraw uncon-
ditionally the allied troops from Pek!B;
from the German proposition 10 make the
punishment OF guilty parties a prelimi-
nary to peace negotiations; from the
French proposition STIMULATING the per-
manent occupation OF places near Pekin
and the razing OF the Taku forts. but
approved that part OF each proposition
which was in harmony with the spirit OF
the American note.
In ali this our government has acted
openly, independently, and in a way TO
retain the friendship OF the European
powers and to secure action on the part
Of the Chinese government But. after
all is said and done about compensation
for the outrages in the past and guarantees
for the future, there must be insistence
on the main roposition-punishmen for
the guilty parties. The Chinese people. as
we'll as the Chinese government. must
understand that the severest penalties are
demanded TO meet barbarities like the
Boxer outrages.
Fekin mas been occupied and the Chi
nese government has been driven from its
capital The imperial army has been de-
feated. The Forbidden City has been for
maly occupied by the allied troops. II
remains now for the United States gov
eminent to insist that the punishment for
the real offenders shall be adequate to
their crimes.
