Circulation PerplcXItics.

One would imagine that all the
struggle under the burden of ''circula-
ton was in Frostburg, but to so con-
clude is mistake. The paragraphs be-
low, from the Arizona Kicker, indicate
there are others:
A party which visited Bill Williams
mountain last week in the interests of science
found undeniable evidences of race OF PEG
pie at least 10000 years old. We regret that
il is too late to shake up few subscriptions
among them.
Our 6S subscribers at Lone Jack did not
receive their papers last week for the simple
reason that a cinnamon bear ate the mail
carrier and his horse and mailbags up before
he got to that point. We cannot be held ac-
countable for acts of Providence.
The circulation of the Kicker has not quite
reached 100, OOO.0O0 yet, but is so close to it
that we can feel this side of the continent
gradually tipping up.

FRosTBURG, MD, June 25, 1901.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Please let me use your valuable paper
to make Il few suggestions to our town
Council upon a subject important to all
taxpayers.
1t is now about II years since the water
works system was built-at cost of
$40 900, for which bonds We're issued,
now bearing interest at the rate of I per
rent. per dnnum.
About years ago the revenue from
rents was something like =, 800. By the
last report of the town Clerk it is now
something like -, 40
In those days the annual interest sum
was about $500; now it is $1,000, with
$500 year for the next two years added
to pay for refunding, making $500 or
$500 less than i'll 1894, when the revenue
was less than half what it is now. Yet
not one dollar has been placed i'll a sink
ing fund for the redemption of those
bonds!
The reason why no fund has ever been
created is, | believe, simply because
business principles have not been APP
piled i'll the use of the water rents.
The first thing to be done. i'll my
opinion, is to make appropriations for
the several fixed expenses necessary to
the proper maintenance of the system,
and the second principle is, having made
your appropriations, live within them.
Now, what are the fixed expenses
necessary, and what amounts should be
appropriated? They are, l believe, as
follows:

CHINESE TRADE UNIONS.

On the surface of things, trade union
ism appears to be distinctly a modern
ism apepars to be distinctly a modern
development of sociology. The surface
however, as an Irish public speaker
once sapiently remarked, is merely
superficial" and unions under the name
of labor leagues have been known to
China from time immemorial All
tradesmen belong to the guild of their
own trade, which exists mainly to pre-
vent underselling. Only in certain dis
tricts is there an effort made to con-
troll rates Of wages, and nowhere to
limit hours of labor. 1t Is these leagues
which ordain that shops retailing the
same class Of goods must all be con-
centrated in one district, an arrange
ment which always seems so ridiculous
to the foreigner. Thus, in native
town, one street will be entirely inhab-
tied by jewelers., another by silk mer-
chants, and so on. 1t iS very conven-
lent for the customer, though the plan
is not intended for his benefit, but mere
ly to simplify the system Of spying.
There is always a minimum price fixed
by the league for every article on the
market. and even the smartest foreign
bargain driver will find it well-nigh
to beat the vendor down be-
low this price, even though a less sum
might repay him personally.
