These are halcyon days for an
archists. Luccheni, who assassi-
mated the Empress of Austria, is
serving life sentence in Geneva,
because there is no death penalty
in Switzerland; young Sipido,
who attempted the life of the
Prince of Wales in Belgium, is at
large through miscarriage of JUS
tice, and it transpires that Bresci,
who killed King Humbert, cannot
be executed for the reason that
capital punishment has been
abolished in Italy. AS long as
these men live they will be regard
ed by others of their class as he
roes and all inspiration to similar
deeds. 1t is worthy of remark in
this connection that there are in
this country five states in which
the President might he assassinat-
ed without the murderer suffering
capital punishment. These states
are Colorado, Rhode Island,
Maine, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
In each the death penalty is for
hidden by law.

racial conditions. If this rule is fol-
lowed it is to be feared that majority
of the white race might not prove to
be, while it is certain that the bulk of
the colored would prove to be not in
dustrious, and consequently the Con-
stitution's reasons for maintaining the
statu quo are not valid. The moral,
law-abiding and property holding ne
groes in this community have been un-
able to prevent the crimes of the law
less class Of their race, and it does
seem that the latter class is becoming
relatively stronger every year than the
other.
All expedients short of separation
must fail, and from my observations
on my recent northern trip / believe
the people of that section are ready
for it, When the politicians of the
South give their consent to it it will
come. 1t will be better both for the
negro and the white man.

They Labored Not in Vain.

Some newspapers in discussing the
Chinese situation are inclined to take
a pessimistic view of conditions exist
ing among the native Chinese, saying
among other things that all the labors
of christian missionaries in China have
amounted practically to nothing; and
that nations of position and influence
who were supposed to favor western
IDEAS, have been proven to be active
aiders and abettors of the Boxers.
While in comparison with the total
population of China (about 4OO, 900, OOO)
there are but few native converts to
christianity and to western methods
generally, still in the abstract, this
number is quite respectable. The re-
ports from that country show that since
the recent troubles began many thou
sands of native christians have suffered
martyrdom for their faith, and that
there are now shut up with the lega-
tioners in Pekin three thousand native
converts who have cast their lot with
the foreigners, and will be brought
away from China with the legationers
when they are rescued.
Considering the comparatively short
time that China has been open to mis-
sionary efforts, the infinitesimally
small number of laborers in proportion
to the population of that country, and
the character of the Chinese, noted as
they are for their steadfastness and de-
votion TO their ancient theories and
ideas, this showing is very gratifying,
especially when we consider that the
Chinese converts are not "fair weather
christians" as spoken of by Bunyan in
the Pilgrims Progress" and of which
our churches have some knowledge
after protracted meeting has been
closed but that they are of the kind
that are faithful unto DEATH
In view of these facts il cannot be
truthfully said that christian mission
aries have labored for naught in China.
So soon as order shall have been re-
stored in that country, which will
probably be in the near future, since
China now begins to realize that the
allies are terribly in earnest and con-
tinued opposition means a dissolution
of the empire and it's partitionment
among the nations, the missionaries
will return to their posts there and ul-
timately the people as whole will be
christianized. The Boxer outrages
were probably melted by heather re-
ligionists because of their jealousy OF
the successful work of christian mis-
sionaries

ba and Grown Point mines at Rossland.
He is particularly favorable to the Bon.
ANA camp, where he examined some Of
the partially developed claims, like the
kerns property, the Surprise, War Eagle
and others. In mentioning the War
Eagle he said:
"With the amount of work done at the
present time, it has the finest showing
seen in the entire camp and that, judging
from surface Indications, the lead must be
100 feet wide"
His idea was that this property, with
intelligent development, would doubtless
make one Of the big mines OF the camp,
as they are working in practically free
milling ore.
