JUST FORREARANCE-

This Government should steadily
maintain that position with regard to
the payment OF the Chinese indemnity
which indicates a just desire that the
burden placed on the offending nation
shall not be made unduly heavy because
Of international spite or rapacity.
China justly owes to the full the dam
ages arising from the Boxer rebellion
and the native outrages in Pekin and
the Provinces. This is mere matter of
Justice, to the administration of which
all the Powers interested must inflexibly
attend. But justice is one thing and the
footing Of helpless nation is quite
another.
The United States Government has
heretofore been consistently fair in its
attitude toward China. 1t insists upon
the payment Of its rightful claim
against China, but it does not seek to
impose oppressive conditions. 1t Is will
ing to accept low rate Of interest. 1t
is willing to allow China to raise the
necessary revenues in the least hurtfuI
manner. There is q dignity and a for
bearance in this course which is COM
mendable to degree. 1t should be
maintained to the close OF the Chinese
question.

WATCH THE MILK SUPPLY.


In the case Of the death Of st. Louis
baby from blood poisoning the other day
Deputy Coroner Boogher has Just re-
turned q verdict to the effect that i'm.
pure milk was the originating cause of
the child's illness. Investigation proved
that q COW belonging to the dairyman
from whom the milk was purchased is
suffering from disease supposed to be
CHAMBERS.
It Is somewhat reassuring to learn
that this case has been referred to the
Milk Inspector, who will proceed to
make more searching Investigation.
II the dairyman has been selling milk
from diseased COW the consequent cor.
pective action should be swift and
severe. The offense is one which is far
too serious in its menace to the general
health, and its especial meaning of peril
to children, to be allowed to 60 unpun.
fshed.
1t is also incumbent upon the Mill
Inspector to be more than ordinarily
alert in the performance OF his official
duty, and upon all consumers Of milk to
exercise every possible precaution t.
guard against impurity. Children's lives
constitute the penalty paid for neglect
in this field. There should be no sacri.
fice Of the little ones through careless.
ness or indifference.

rive in time to participate. Feeble as
the hopes were, a charm attached to the
national birthday that made the antici-
pations seem possible Of fulfllment.
Instead Of relief coming on that day,
the routine of the seige continued. The
men and women had their menu of
horse meat. rice and brown bread. As
the American flag over the legation gate
was shot down by bullets from the
Chinese, the sailor guards speedily re-
placed it on the staff. 1t was indeed a
dreary Fourth for both the besieged and
their friends.
Relief did not come until August IA.
The forty days of waiting were dreary
and sleepless. Time and again did the
foreigners think that help was about to
arrive. The information that they re-
ceived was every whit as unreliable as
that sent to the allies.
The siege of Pekin is now hardly
more than a memory. Those who We're
in Pekin will celebrate at home. The
day is q distinct improvement over that
of last year.

PUSH THE WORK.

There is satisfaction over the an
nouncement by the Board of Public I'm
provements that bids for the superstruc.
ture Of the new City Hospital will be
opened July 10.
Reports indicate that the foundations
for the new buildings are nearly com.
pleted. The contracts for the remainder
of the work will be let separately. 1t
is estimated that all Of the $25S,OOO ap-
propriated by the Municipal Assembly
for the purpose will be used.
By the law, about $4,000 additional
will be ready for use in the City Hos
pital in few weeks. The need for
more hospital conveniences is urgent.
As the plans for the new building make
possible the construction Of the pavil-
ions a matter that may be attended to
from year to year, no money should be
permitted to lie in the city treasury
that may properly be devoted to this
purpose.

NECESSARY PROHIBITION.

There is ample justification for the
order shortly to be issued by the Post
Office Department prohibiting all car
riers of rural delivery mail from enga-
cling in any other business while en-
gagged In the performance Of their duty
to the public.
The promptness Of many business
houses to engage the services Of these
carriers as retail statesmen along their
respective mail routes has already i'm
paired the value Of the rural delivery
service. The handling Of the mails
came to be secondary consideration
with those employed for that exclusive
service. The profitable business of SELL
ing goods ION the side" appealed too
strongly to the carriers. The rural mail
delivery service suffered in consequence.
This evil must be promptly checked.
The rural mail delivery system is one Of
the greatest benefits ever conferred up
on the farmers Of this country. 1t is
capable Of vast improvement, and the
Government is bent upon achieving this
Improvement The first step now to be
taken ID the prohibition Of the growing
practice of carriers acting as statesmen
for business houses while engaged in
delivering the mails. The forthcoming
order from the Post Office Department
viii be q timely announcement.

FOURTH OF JULY. 1901.

On this day 125 years ago the Ameri-
can Declaration Of Independence was
signed and the foundation of the world $
greatest Government was thereby pro-
claimed in the finest uttcrance known in
the history of nations.
The anniversary is a fit time for sober
contemplation OF American policies and
for estimating the maintained strength
of American faith in the creed upon
which our fabric of government rests.
There is no national policy which may
be approved with safety by the Ameri-
can people If such policy is hostile to the
spirit Of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence. There is no surrender of any ele-
ment Of that spirit possible without
danger to the life of the great Republic
which sprang into being on the day of
the Signing of the Declaration.
Within the past three years, for the
first time in its history, the United
States Government has been conducted
along lines which constitute q repudia-
ton Of the splendid truth that all just
governments must derive their power
from the consent Of the governed. The
doctrine has been denied and overruled.
The American Constitution, product of
the spirit which created the Declara-
ton, has been violated by Congress in
order that this truth should not prevail
to control American action. The termi-
nation Of the era Of constitutional lib
erty in this country Is threatened be-
cause Of this denial Of the right of
others to the liberty proclaimed by the
Declaration as the birthright Of all men.
Congress and the Supreme Court have
alike failed to prevent this abandonment
Of the American creed. The constitu-
tional safeguard has been removed. A
President of the United States to-day
possesses power Of absolutism which
may not be viewed by thoughtful Ameri.
cans without the profoundest disturb
ance of confidence in the permanence
Of liberty on the Western Continent
On this one hundred and twenty-fifth
anniversary of the Signing Of the Dec
laration Of Independence it is advisable
that Americans face the truth of Ameri-
can conditions. A return to the prin-
ciples upon which their Government is
founded is still possible. If there is to
be a further divergence from the true
American faith such return will soon be
forever impossible. 1t is for the Ameri-
can people to make the choice while the
privilege Of choosing is still theirs. The
choice is one between Republic and an
Empire. Which shall it be? You should
ask yourself this question to-day, the
Fourth Of July, 1901, and answer it as
becomes an American who is still faith
full to the truths announced in the
American Declaration Of Independence.

OIL FOR FUEL.

Already certain points in the South are
beginning to feel the beneficent effects
Of the discovery of fuel oil in Texas
Predictions are being fulfilled with a
quickness that is little less than sur
prising.
For instance, one railroad that fur
nishes coal to Mobile has reduced the
price from $1.75 to $1.1O ton. New
Orleans has had the price of Alabama
coal reduced 60 and 65 cents ton by
the competition of Texas oil. Every
point in the South where Texas oil has
gone has received reductions in the price
Of coal.
These figures verify the bright proph-
ecies that were made when the gushers
were discovered. Though q temporary
loss may be felt by mine operators, the
stimulus which will be given to indus
tries by the cheapening of the fuel cam
not be estimated. A readjustment Of
conditions will be made throughout the
South.
Just what may be ultimately expected,
the change that has taken place In Cali
fornia predicts. California railroads
used 1000. 600 tons OF soft coal last year,
costing about $40, 0o0,0 600. All the roads
are now eQuipping their enxines With

TWO FoURrBs.

One feature Of the Fourth of July of
last year will be lacking to-day, happily
for every ones peace of mind. The
world is not awaiting news from Pekin,
where the foreigners were besieged in
the legations. Twelve months is short
time, but the dispatches telling Of the
difficulty over the indemnity to be paid
for outrages suffered then are about oil
that ID left ~ q reminder Of the sus-
penee which America endured at that
tine.
How anxiously the papers were read a
year ago for news from the Chinese
capital How slow did the movements
Of tine Governments seem to the friends
Of the Loco persons locked in the five
acres OF land On which stood the lega-
tion buildings How meager and con-
Trajectory was the information that
leaked through the lines Of the Boxers.
Americans besieged in Pekin have
told Of the hopes entertained by them

VITAL EDUCATION,

In the plan Of Professor Langley to
arrange special exhibit for children in
the Smithsonian Institution there is so
much promise of practical educational
benefit as to call for the heartiest popu-
lar and governmental support.
1t Is not easy to overestimate the value
Of SO complete and satisfying q museum
for children as is possible to the vast
resources Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. Such an exhibit may be made
profoundly interesting and entertaining
as well as instructive. Indeed, it is by
means Of its initial attraction as an en-
tertainment that the display would be
most certain of proving educational in
the end.
There is gratifying proof that this
truth Is recognized by the authorities
now arranging for the children's
museum. They propose to label all the
exhibits with their common names only,
to supplement each with printed state
ments Of important facts bearing upon
them, and in some cases, as of the dis
play of birds, to make 1t an exhibit Of
actual life, the living birds being shown
in the surroundings natural to them. In
this manner the new department will
be made Of irresistible attractiveness.
Professor Langley has fallen upon a
brilliant idea. He should be en-
couraged to its prompt and adequate de-
velonment into established fact. The
educational value Of interesting chill
dren vitality in the study of such treas
ures as are owned by the Smithsonian
Institution will not be ignored by
thoughtful students Of the problem of
education.

Of barrels Of oil that will be required at
100000, costing $5,O00,OOO.
For some years the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fee have used oil on en-
gines and found that saving Of so per
cent was effected. For the first time in
the history Of the State, the supply Of
oil exceeds the demand. 1t is thought
that the California wells are capable of
furnishing 100000 barrels annually.
However, this excess of supply over
demand cannot last very long. Steam
ship lines, inland industries and street
railway lines will soon absorb the l.
100000 gallons not used by the rail-
roads. Oil as permanent fuel is only
in its infancy.
