CHINESE REGENERATION.

Alarming reports received from Chi
na predicting another anti-foreign out
break in the near future are not a
source Of surprise to those who have
acquaintance with the Chinese situa-
ton. The most remarkable result
would be quiet acceptance OF the
progressive western ideas.
The intense feeling Of ignorant Chi
nese against the foreigner is not to be
wiped out by one war or in one year.
And the fact that this prejudice Is
played upon by followers and advisers
Of the corrupt Chinese court makes as
surance doubly sure that Chinese lead
ers are merely awaiting the timely mo-
ment to strike the spark that shall set
the anti-foreign prejudice afiame.
When that flame is started II will be a
repetition Of massacre. and heathenish
destruction OF lives and property. The
tendency Of present reports goes to
prove that the Chinese have learned a
lesson from the last outbreak: not a
lesson OF peaceful development and as
similation with western methods, but
the lesson of the necessity for superior
arms to combat the foreign armies.
As many nation has done before, a
defeat has reused increased bitterness
and an approach to the Idea that peace
Is best secured by preparedness for
war, though the preparations now be-
| ing made in China will by no means re-
suit in a rise to the dignity Of so-called
civilized" warfare.
! II Is far fetched presumption to as
sumo chat the edicts issued by the
Empress owager calling on her peo'
pie for reform such as Europeans ant
intelligent Chinese desire, are anythin,
but most perfunctory and meaning
less in character. Though the edict'
might be an honest expression Of thu
Empress Dowager's desires. and no on,
believes they are, she is surrounded b!
advisors more degenerate and NOR
anti-forcign than herself. and back O
these are ignorant hordes ready 70
any bloody fray.
While the present forces are at tn
head OF the Chinese cons,omorate n
ton. China will remain In mediaeva
darkness, and foreigners will be
constant object of attack. The regens
ration may be assisted by foreign al
mics, but 1t must finally be accom-
plished by the younger intelligent ele
ment as found in the Reformers fol
lowing the lead srship o. DR.. Sun an

rkEAsURbR wRiGnT's VIEW,

After making up his accounts to de
termine the Territorial income Treas
urer Wright finds that he will be able
to pay salaries and the general running
expenses of the government, but there
will be no money left for new work
however necessary 1t may be to indi.
vidual taxpayers or the business com
munity.
In other words. the Territorial
Treasurer finds that Territorial devel-
opment must remain at a standstill un-
til the Legislature provides additional
funds. Like any man Of business sense
regardful of the best interests Of tho
people. Treasurer Wright advocates
a call Of the Legislature in special ses
sion as soon as possible.
Mr.. Wright truly says, where there's
will there's way.
Failure to call on the Legislature
when the Territory is In its present
financial condition can only evidence
the lack Of a will or desire to secure
steady development and aggressive
work in all Territorial departments.

LEPROsY AND THE MOSQUITO.

The spread of leprosy In the Hawaii.
an Islands Is attributed to some ex.
tent to the mosquito by the local
nealth authorizes. There are cases
that occur that are otherwise unac.
countable. a tact that will hardly In.
crease the mental Quietuue of those
who are mosquito bitten In a country
wnere leprOsy exists. or course, this
mode of infection must ne extremely
rare, for mosquito bites are common.
and these unaccountable cases are few
In number. II seems probable that the
Indictment against the mosquito will
be. as time elapses. a much heavier
one than has been as yet conceived;
IL is the most efficient little inoculating
machine that was ever con trived, and
It seems to have a constitution suited
to take up and carry about number
o. uncomfortable things for the hui

The Washington correspondent OF
the Savannah News says Southern
Congressman and Senators are not
tearing their shirts" over the Booker 7
Washington dinner incident. "Conser-
vative men from the South, who dis
cussed the subject, agree that no good
can 'come OF agitating the question
further. They hold that the President
has the right to select the guests he
will privately entertain, and public
men from the South cannot neglect the
interests of their constituents because
OF some social incident which may not
accord with their views on the sub
;ect of social equality. 1t Is believed
that the incident will be forgotten
within a week"
Considering the good sense that
rules In Southern circles, II is safe to
say the Washington Incident will soor
pass from notice, to be revived only al
election time and only In districts
where prejudice rules.

In awe for reading SnakesDeare's plays

To hear him render Lear"

He's now an auctioneer.
Oh great was the boy phenomenon
