laborer, often brought in by contract,
who has no permanent interest in our
government. If the Asi6tics come here,
work for few years, live Oh lower

proceeds of their toll, the drain upon
our money supply will be similar TO
that caused by the landlordism in
other countries. The political objec-
lions to oriental labor are scarcely less
weighty than the economic ones.
The attempt to use the injunction OF
a court to deprive the laboring man OF
trial by jury should alarm all our peo-
pie, for while the wage Garner is the
first to feel its effects, the principle
which underlies government by injunc-
tfon is so far-reaching that no one can
hope to escape ultimately. The thing
forbidden by an injunction would,
without the injunction, be either legal
or illegal If it would be legal, the
judge usurps the function of the legis-

THE JERICHO POsTOFFICE.
Pap Perkins, Postmaster, Tells Il
story of Charity.

Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.)
The Widder Jackson, relict of Tom
Jackson, had been one of us in Jericho
for IS years. She managed somehow to
take care of herself until a long, lingerin
sickness came, and even then she suffered
for care rather than let anybody know of
her situation. 1t leaked out, however,
and Jabez Thomas was one of the first to
hear of it. He dropped into the postoffice
one evenin and told about it and then said
TO the crowd:
"Feler Citizens:-If Jericho has a per-
ticker strong. pint, it is charity. No man,
woman or child ever yit called upon her
in vain. 1t has bin our pride and our
boast that we was a community with a
heart to feel for the sorrers of others.

attempt on their part TO extend this
system to any portion of this hemi-

with the possibilities of the vast terri
tory lying south OF the United States,
comprising the West Indies. Mexico
Central and South America. AS shown
by the accompanying table, there is a
total population in those countries of
nearly 100000 with imports and ex-
ports approximately aggregating
$1,3G0,0OO. This includes the Guianas
British, French AID Dutch-and the
West Indies; and throughout the whole
extent of the vast area covered by the
two southern continents OF America
and the tropical islands, with but few
exceptions, the prevailing language is
Spanish, or structurally Latin, like the

with 10,521,000 in population. The
first quarter of this century witnessed
the severance from Spain of all of her
Mexican, Central and South American
colonies, Florida and the Louisiana
territory. 1t was during the reign of
that weak and vicious monarch, Fer
dinand VII, that she lost all the Amer
icas except the islands of Cuba and
Porto Rico. Mexico raised the stand
ard of revolt in 1908. Venezuela in
1910, Buenos Ayres, Chile, Peru and the
rest following, until nothing remained
but the islands from which the Amer
leans drove her in 1898.

SPANS LATEST EFFORT At REHABILITATION.


While the ostensible purpose of the
great Hispano-American congress now
assembled at Madrid is to knit more
closely the literary and commercial re-
lations exis'dng between the Spanish
speaking countries of the world, and to
promote more friendly feeling among
peoples having racial affinities,, yet
there are. some who affect to see in it
indications in the near future of a pos
sible offensive and defensive alliance.

the long line of "conquistadores" who

subjected the Incas of Peru, and in fact
all who ruled those American posses

of oppression was carried out that re-
suited in the Spaniards becoming OBJ
jects of detestation.
In the West Indies alone millions of
aboriginal inhabitants were massacred
and other millions persisted in the
mines of Mexico and Peru. While the
majority Of the Spaniards went out to
their colonies to stay yet they pursued
the short-sighted policy Of wringing
from the unfortunate natives the last
grain Of gold and the last drop of
blood they were capable of yielding up,
with the result that there was, and is,

ceptions along the coasts and in few
English-speaking islands of the West
Indies, the Latin Americans and their
numerous relations of mixed blood are

And yet, strange as it may appear,
there is little actual sympathy with
Spain, although she is looked upon as
the mother country Of the West In
dies, Central and South America. This
is perhaps due TO the fact that she
treated the people more as il she stood
in the relation of stepmother than a

full of missionaries to convince the entire

appears absurd.
But the Chinese are as quick to learn
new industries as they are slow to discard
their peculiar habits of life, and if China
is to be opened to civilization it must be
through this means. Men who have work
ed together understand one another and
the way is cleared for an interchange OF
ideas. Until English is spoken by ma
jorfty OF the Chinese such a spread OF
Western ideas will be impossible, for the
European never learns Chinese with any
great avidity. China must be SO ruled, BY
either her home Government or by the
powers. that the people will become ac-
