The Common Sense of 1t.

A town can afford to do considerable
to encourage new industries, but it is sell
dom warranted in putting any consider
ence and machinery. The proposition is
not fair or business like, because the
parties advancing the capital take prac-
tically the entire risk in a business of
which they know but little at the best
A town may exempt a new enterprise
from taxation and do other helpful things
for it, even in some cases to the furnish
ng of buildings, and possibly power. The
investment of capital on a partnership
basis in an untried business, is impractl-
cable and foolish. The only exception to
this rule is when a we'll established and
paying plant offers to remove its bust
ness to a town which will provide 1t with
increased capital stock and better bust
ness facilities.

What Should We Do If in Their Place.

The editor of the Barre Times has ,ivod
in the South enough to know whereof he
speaks when he says, anent the Southern
outbreak over Booker Washingtons din
ner at the White House:
Then too the Northern people know
nothing about getting along with that
part of the colored race which is idle
shiftless and brutal. Possibly If we had
that class to deal with we should do ex-
actly as our Southern friends do, for their
course is the result of experience while
ours is the outcome of theory alone. II
is idle to say that the South has brought
the condition on itself. The South had no
more to do with planting slavery in
America than the North. The growth of
the institution there was the result of
conditions and circumstances and moth
ing else. Similar conditions here might
have produced similar results"

In the meeting yesterday when il was

Other considerations also had weight

presence of large number of foreign

not be q surprise, was iu 81 sense uueN-
uected. as reports have been recently sent
out with great c9usistyaey TO the eject
that the Court was on i,s.vay % the Old
capital
The decision reached the Chinese peace
pIeaipotcutiaries in the form OF a telegram
in reply to "a desratch announcing the re-
tiremeut of the foreign troops with the
exception of small legation guards. The
peace plcnipoteutiaries .. urged that the
time was Eow ripe for the return OF the
Court laying stress on the more. effect
( that the step would have. They respect
/ fully suggested that an agreement CON
ceruing the indemnity proposition would
be more speedily reached If # could be
shown that China was eyincing genuine
desire TO meet the Powers half way.
in answering this appeal Of the pleni-
poteutiaries the Court resorts 90 its usual
policy Of quibbung and criticism. 1t
charges that there has been bad manage
ment in the conduct of the peace nego-
uatioHs, that no progress has been made,
Sand that China's interests have not been
adequately protected. The telegram also
claims that there are far too many for
cign troops still left in Pekin- With char
actsristic Oriental diplomacy the Court
states that although it had announced
I that it would return 10 the old capital il
was regretruuy compelled to reconsider
. this decision
The despatch says further that the
Court must go 10 Kaifeng-fu. where the
f high ministers desire 60 celebrate the
