THE District also transacted more money
order business by 100000 than did the
state of West Virginia, shown with other
states above. comparison of some of the
remaining states, not included in the table,
shows that the District runs them pretty
close race for first place, as in South Da-
kota, where the total receipts exceede d
those of the District by about 1898 600.
OkIahoma's prosperity is well evidenced by
her last annual money order business Of
S3.9192 225; nevertheless, this sum Is only
about $500. 600 ahead of the District. South
Carolina is still another state doing less
than half million dollars worth of money
order business over the District. The state
of Idaho shows an excess of about $21I 900,
and Hawaii $4,000, while that Of Florida
was S247, 600.
These latter figures show how close the
District runs to three large states and two
large and thriving. territories. 1t would
be unfair to bring the District in compari-
son with the states of New Y York and Penn
sylvania, but in a comparison with twenty
states and territories the District shows in
most complimentary manner to it's resi-
dents.

EardinE National Committee.
A dispatch from Milwaukee. Wis, last
night, says: Henry c. Payne, the newly
appointed Postmaster General, accompanied
by Mrs. Payne, arrived here from the east
tonight. From the time the announcement
was made of Mr.. Payne's entry into the
cabinet, kilograms of congratuation from
all parts of the country have been pouring
in. Mr.. Payne declined to be interviewed
in regard to his policy as Postmaster Cen
eral. He said the portfolio was the only
one on the list that he would have accepted,
and that 1t came to him personally through
President Roosevelt. Mr.. Payne said that
President Mckinley had offered him various
missions during his incumbency, none of
which he could see his way clear to accept.
Mr.. Payne will remain IN Milwaukee until
about the end of the first week of January
when he expects to go to Washington. In
the meantime he will arrange his private
business affairs.
In regard to a statement to the effect
that he was to succeed Senator Hanna as
the head of the republican party, Mr.
Payne said:
There is nothing wha atever in that state
ment No man in this nation will more
sincerely rejoice at my appointment than
Mr.. Hanna. Between him and me there
probably is as close a personal as we'll as
political, friendship as exists between two
men in the United States. All this talk of
friction between the President Mr. Hanna
and myself is the sheerest nonsense"

William Lloyd Garrison Against Re-
Enactment of Exclusion Act.
A dispatch from Boston last night says:
William Lloyd Garrison presided over a
meeting in the Bromfield Street Methodist
Episcopal Church this evening, at which
resolutions were adopted against the re-
enactment af the Chinese exclusion act.
Besides Mr.. Garrison the speakers were
Rev. j. NJ Foster of Boston, Rev. NJ r.
Johnson of San Francisco, Yong Hay. a
Chinese clergyman of this city, Rev. Jas.
A. Earle and Colonel Stephen w. Nicker-
son. In the course of his address Mr. Gar
rison said:
I'VE are here tonight as Americans to
protest against Americas injustice in deal
ing with sister nation. We cannot for
get that our ancestors themselves were
immigrants. with no prescriptive right to
enter this country.
THE sweeping objection to the Chinese
is that they cannot assimiIate with Ameri-
cans; they earn money here and send it
back to China; their manner of living is
inexpensive. and they are small consumers;
they huddle together in great numbers;
crime and unchastity abound with them.
LAS regards assimilation. 1t is hard to
assimilate with man who fiourishes a
bludgeon over your head.
THE Chinese earn and send back money
to their relatives at home. So do many
nese be blamed for such a natural and
kindly act?
THE Chinese compete with American
labor and underbid it. They were in real
ity brought to this country because Amer
lean labor could not be obtained to build
railroads and reclaim waste tracts of land.
The Chinese live cheaply. That is their
privilege. In old times this used to be
considered New England virtue AS re-
CARDS consumption of domestic products 1t
has been made a grievance that they do
not patr6nize the saloons
The Chinese huddie together in un-
healthy quarters and form plague spots it
is asserted Prosecuted people naturally
combine and are forced to be clannish
They swarm in contracted and unsantary
precincts because prejudice closes the door
of better situations
''Gnchastity exists Yes. Where race
hostility prohibits men from bringing with
them wives and daughters with view to
permanent family life, what else is pos
Sble?''

NO RESTRICTION IN EDUCATION.
Virginia Convention Defeats Amend
u,ent to the Committees Report.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va. December 10, 1901.
The report of the committee on education
was again the subject Of debate in the COM
mittee of the whole offs the constitutional
convention today. The amendment to strike
from the report the requirement that pri-
mary schools shall be kept open in all sec
tions of the sta before the tax derived
from the special tax shall be available
caused a debate of three hours. Chairman
McIlwaine of the committee opposed and
Mr.. Turnbull of Brunswick advocated the
amendment. Mr.. Turnbull declared that
1.-The attempt at education of the negroes
of the state had proven detrimental, hav-
ing untitled the negro for the work for
which they were fitted by nature and in
stilled into them the idea that they We're
too good for manual labor, and had not
fitted them for anything else He quoted
statistics to show that the white taXpayerS
of the state paid 90 per cent OF the amount
expended for negro education, holding that
if the whites desired to tax themselves for
local school purposes they should have ab-
soiute and complete contro! Of the funds.
The amendment was overwhelmingly de-
feated. and education will be general in all
sections Of the state before the higher
schools will open.
The composition of the state board of
education came up in the shape of the
amended report of the committee on educa-
ton, and substitute was offered by Mr..
Glass Of Lynchburg, which was accepted by
the committee. providing for board to
consist of the governor. the attorney gem
erai, the superintendent of public instruc-
tion and three others to be elected by the
senate of Virginia from a list of eligibles
to be furnished by the boards controlling
the Institutions OF learning to which the
state makes appropriations Except colored
institutions). One county and one city su-
perintendent of public schools are to be
added to the board, but the latter two are
fc hoxva t,aI vote In, fha al %
tendents Of schools. Pending a vote on
the substitute, which was opposed by Mr.
O'F1aherty Of Warren, the committee rose
and the convention adjourned.

Magnitude of the Business.

From these aggregate totals 1t is ap-
parent that the District does greater vol
ume of money order business than ten
states and five territories. Almost any

In fact, few comprehend the enormous
growth and great expansion of the money
order system in the generation it has been
In existence. Much has within a very re-

the lhsral-nlinded policies of Postmaster
General Smith as carried out by Superin-
tsndeut J. 7. Metcalf. The average daily
sales Of money orders for the past year
have nearly reached the million-GoIlar-a-da

this great business is managed from the

traitor on q Technically.

A Fargo, n. D., special says:
1t is not a crime against the United
States to pass a confederate bill on an un-
suspecting Indian, according to the decision
of Judge Amidon of the United States
court in the Barrett case.
A Billings county cowboy named Barrett
was arrested for giving an Indian a $50
confederate bill in horse trade. 1t was
alleged that he had violated section 543O
OF the Revised Statutes. which makes it a
to regular currency.
Judge Amidon holds that the general
likeness which a bill holds to the regular
currency is insufficient to convict unless ii
has been attempted to make 1t an imi l,tion
or forgery Of real money, and indicates
that the Indians only recourse is though
the state courts. as the offense was - rely
cheat, and not an offense against the
United States. Barrett has been dis
charged from custody.

a COMBINE OF PEACH BUYERS,
Trust Formed and Growers Will Be
the Victims.

While Americas fruit growers have
disposed of the larger portion of their
peaches, and at satisfactory prices,
some of those in north Georgia, where
the crop is just being gathered, are
about to get the worst of 1t as victims
of pool, or trust, formed by the for
eign shippers.
And really they found that trusts
are dreadful things.
It is reported that at one large ship
ping point near Atlanta these northern
buyers have combined, and propose to
get the peaches at their own price or
else force the growers to ship.
And everyone knows what it means
to consign fruit to the average un-
known commission man in the north
a dead loss. The fruit cannot wait in
the orchards, and the terms of the
''peach trust must be accepted or
else the crop is dead loss.
Americas growers were fortunate, in
that they had no buyers trust here to
contend with.
