GETTING THE Worst OF III.

The establishment of a through serv-
ice between Minneapolis and Saltwater
by the corporation or corporations con-
trolling the street car franchise in the
three cities is just now attracting much
public attention. The action Of the city
authorities of ST. Paul on the subject will
be observed with a good deal of interest.
Perhaps the possibilities of the serv-
ice have not yet been developed suf-
ficiently to pass intelligently on the en-
tire situation The questions involved

portance. especially from the standpoint
of the St. Paul public. 1t will no doubt bs

SHALL THEY RETURN2


The missionary question is likely to be-
come a matter of diplomacy. Hitherto the
various governments have assisted, either
actively or passively, the propagation Oh
the Christian religion among those VINO
sit in darkness. This has been done as
a matter of comfy between the church
and the state, without a hint of politics
in it. Missionaries have demanded pre-
lection as matter of right the same as
traders. In most cases the treaty stipu-
lations provided for the safety of mis-
sionaries plying their vocation
The revelations of the late Chinese up
rising have put another face upon the
whole situation, and the missionary ques-
ton, at least so far as China is con-
cerned. has sprung at once to the fore
front as the one great probl m to solve
if the allies expect to insure the future
tranquility of the empire. Whether right
or wrong. it is not denied now that the
missionary propaganda was the prime
cause of the Chinese difficulty.
Without entering into detail or con-
demning any specific act or acts, the
truth warrants the assertion that the
presence of the missionaries in China
has become menace to the peace of
the world THIS may be owing to the
peculiar prejudices of the Chinese peo-
pie. but the fact remains that the powers
are now and viii in the future be more
interested in keeping peace in the Celes-
tial empire than in forcing upon her peo-
pie any particular religion.
Sir Robert Hart, than whom no better
authority exists on Chinese affairs con-
tinues to assure The powers that there
will be future outbreaks unless there is
complete change of policy regarding
the missionaries It is not the influence
of their religious teachings which causes
the trouble so much as their interference
with internal politics. The eXtra-terri-
eign missionaries renders them exempt
from the operation of local laws. This
privilege is abused by taking converted
Cinnamon under their charge. Here is
the kernal of the difficulty The Chinese
maintain that the vicious espouse the
Christian religion to escape punishment
for crimes Add to this the fact that the
missionaries are there with the avowed
object to destroy the national faith in a
religion that is sanctifed by centuries
and by the lives of holy men who have
der that strife results. The Chinese
would be without national or race pride
did they not object to this unwelcome
invasion of their most cherished social
and religious institutions.
Should the powers become convinced
that permanent peace with free trade re-
lations can be secured by removing the
cause of the late outbreak, it will become
their duty to prohibit PROSECUTING by for
eign missionaries for a given number OF
years. If China demands the removal
of the missionaries as a safeguard it
should be granted without argument.
All this does not reflect upon the earnest
ness or the good intentions of the mis-
sionaries, but goes to the fact that the
good of China and the world at large
is not subserved by missionary work in
China. The time may come when China
Will embrace the Christian religion.
When that time comes it will not require
an army to protect the missionaries

Why do we so often hear the question

The South is part of the United States.
and why should it's future not be so insep-

as to make such a question wholly incon-

ghost, will not down, and confronts US
at every move we make, politically, re-
ligiously, commercially, industrlally, ma
terially and socially hence l repeat the
question, What Is the future Of the South?
To answer this question let us first con-
slider the present of the South.
There is no Disgusting the fact that the
material growth of the South is not keep

and is languishing. The growth Of the
Northern states is like the flow of a full
flooded river-in it's current float the ma
terial and the nourishment for growing
empire while the South is in an eddy,
and but little goes her way.
The South is essentially agricultural.
and in the iudicious cultivation of her
soil lies all her hopes.
Lands in the South being very cheap,
the thrifty and industrious colored man
early acquires a home and sets up for
himself, and thus the best of the colored
laborers are withdrawn from the army CT

they go West or North, where the hum Of
busy and progressive enterprise offers a
field in which intelligence and energy are
at high premium, and where push"
is invariably rewarded by success.
While the emigration of young men
depopulates the South, impoverishes the
stamina of industry and induces decay
and thriftlessness,- which breed despair
in the South, the North and West thus
receive most valuable recruits.
AS long as the negro was tempered with

West is fast filing up with the overflow
