How TO PAY ChINA'S DEBT.

Sir Robert Hart, who for many years
has been maintained by the Chinese gov
eminent in the Office of the commission
err of maritime customs, according to a
telegram from China to the New York
Sum- has a plan for meeting the Chinese
indemnity. He thinks China ought Il o
attempt to borrow a lump sum, the ag-
gregate amount of the indemnity de-
manded, but that each power should &c
cept Chinese bonds for the specific
amount due. and that these bonds shall
be redeemed within certain length SOf
time. say fifty years. The securities fbr
the redemption of these bonds are to BE
not the customs duties no increase Sof
which for the purpose is now proposal
but the following revenues. to-wit, tn
likin, the tax on opium and the regular
tax on house owners. According Io
General James II. Wilson, these figufes
include. first. the lillin. or foreign opiunn
tax, amounting to about a million taels
second. the likin on salt, estimated IA
nearly 100000 taels General Wilson's
deduction is that the actual yield of the
likin, aside from foreign opium and salt
otherwise accounted for, is only from
100000 to 100000 taels. If we accept
the last named figures. the present an
nual value Of the likin in gold would not
exceed $7.00O,0O0. The conclusion of the
Sun is that the revenues upon which
Sir Robert Hart would make the ag-
gregate indemnity due to foreign
powers first charge. now represent or
would represent. if order We're restored
a total annual revenue Of 500 800 600
which. according to General Wilson
would be largely augmented. 1t seems
strange to us that our own government
does not make the play of its life right
there. When the indemnity is agreed t.
what ought to be done is this: Our com
try should guarantee the powers the in
tereSt on that money and a gradual Ii
quotation until all shall he taken up; then
it should loan to China money enough t.
carry on its business, extend it's manu-
features and facilitate transportation. in
this way place would be found for thll
the silver which we have and ALI tia
our mines ard the worlds mines ca II
produce for wears to come. The only
difficulty is that by the handling Of the
finances in WASHINGTON. silver has sno
fixed value except such as is coined ana
is used as metallic greeIbacks ia 0tll
own currency. The need of such an all

justment Is all the more apparent be-
cause just now there is required vast
amount of silver in the Philippines, and
it ought to have a specific value, and if
our government would take the initiative
and fix it, the outside world is in no con-
dition to oppose it, and it very swiftly
would become the rule of every nation on
earth. And it is all a proposition so plain
that we do not see why Secretary Gage
no, we take that back-why such men as
Pierpont Morgan and the other great
controlling bankers of New York and
Philadelphia do not see it and then make
Secretary Gage see 1t. That would not
only put the business of China in our
hands, but it would be the eliminating
stroke to give to our country the domin-
alton of trade of the Pacific China is
abjectly poor. That is, no matter what
her boarded treasures may be, her peo-
pie are truly poor. Their united strength
now is like the united strength of the
workingmen of the United States in '93.
when the panic was on: they have the
strength, they have the will to work,
but there is a business paralysis over
that w1N'e nation. 1t needs money to
revivify things and that money must be
silver money. Why cannot our govern
ment snake on Its Dre1udlceS ana eS-
tablish value for silver and then loan
it to China, taking portion Of her reve-
nues as security for paying the interest
and for the liquidation of her debt. The
nations would consent to that. because
they all know that the United States
does not want foot of Chinese soil, and
no other power could do it because of
the jealousy that it would awaken. For
instance, suppose Russia We're to try it.
All the other nations would object be-
cause they would see in It the absorption
Of Manchuria with England it would be
the 1angtse kiany valley. 1t would be
the same with Germany or France. Our
nation could do it without exciting sus-
picion that we had any Interior design on
China except to get her people to work
and get her trade into healthy channels
And such a thing is needed for the sake
Of the Chinese people alone more than
anything else. because without labor and
without hope those people will be ready
for rebellion and war at any time, for
when a man cannot earn his bread and
when there is no hope before him, what
does he care what becomes Of him.

years ago:

Will give Five Hundred ACRES for an Experiment
Station In This county.
STEVENS SAYS PROPOSITION REcEIVES WITH FAVOR
It is More Than Probable That the Next Legislature
Georgia Will Decide to Establish
The Station Here

an experiment station in South Geor-
gia, has already been noted in the
Constitution.
The Brunswiok board Of trade took
the matter up at once, and announces
its readiness TO furnish the State all the
land needed for tbs purposes of such
station. The following is the resou-
tion passed by the board of trade:
Whereas, The oassava and sugar
cane convention held at Brunswiok,
Ga, April Q, 1901, passed q resolution
ayking the legislature of Georgia to
appropriate funds for an experiment
s+ation in South Georgia for expert
menting with cassava and sugar cane
aud other agricultural pruducts suita-
Ole TO our SOIL and climate,
Resolve That the board Of trade Of
Bruns wick, Ga, hereby cffeTs 10 fur
nish sui able site in Glynn county,
Georgia, to any Dumber of scrss not
exceeding 800 acres for suoh station"
Commissioner Stevens ia greatly
pleased with this offer, and believes.
in view of the desire of the people of
South Georgia to push these industries,
the legislature VIII rot hesitate to make
the small appropriation required for
the purpose. He will probably 60 to
Brunswick at an early date to look into
the matter and secure information, so
as to be prepared to tell the legislative
COMMITTEE all 1t desires to know ON the
subject.
"The proposition is generous one,"
Colonel Stevens said, "and l have lit
tie doubt that the legislature will be
inclined to view 1t favOrably. Such q
station is needed to properly develop
these products, which promises so
much to the future of the southern
part Of the State"

NO PENSION MONEY.
Treasurer Park Informs Pension Commits.
siOner He Has No Money for That
Purpose.

Atlanta. April 17.-Treasurer r. K.
Park notified Commissioner of PEN
sions j. w. Lindsay this morning that
there was no money in the State treas
ury to pay the new class Of wIdews'
pensions.
Commissioner Lindsay called on
Treasurer Park today to inquire II
there wsuld be sufficient money on
hand to make the payment, but found
out that there would be none, and it
was very probable that there would bo
none this year.
Mr.. Park has not yet decided whetb-
er he will use the public property fund =,
but in the event he does, It ls very
likely that there is not enough money
in the treasury to pay the widows, as,
according to the act Of the legislature
the money was to be paid from funds
in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated.
There is no money in the treasury
and Commissioner Lindsay will issue
circular letter at once to the various
ordinsries Of the state notify ing them
that, owing to the condition of the
treasury, be will be unable TO make
the payment for the nav class of pen
sions until some time in the fall, and
perhaps not then.

to establish an experimental station in
the southern part Of Georgia for the
purpose of developing the sugar cane

THEY RIDE THE BRAKE BEAMS
Patrons Of Box Car sleepers and Births
on the Trucks Often Meet
Death.

ut would be a CHASTITY history if some
one could compile the statistics of all the
men crippled and killed in stealing rides
on the railroads of Montana" said a we'll
known railroad official of Butte today,
one who has railroaded all over the coun-
try, and knows his subject like a book.
But I do not suppose that it will be
done, for the roads are not putting out
this kind Of statistics as an advertise
ment.
There are more ways Of getting killed
or injured while stealing ride on these
mountain roads than one could count,
and some one. or many, go almost every
year. Probably the most common is in
being thrown from the brake beams,
for the larger number of tramps travel
that way. A fellow may go to sleep and
roll off at any point Of the road. Or he
may lose his nerve. become dizzy, and
be ground to pieces in an instant. If
the road is extremely rough. he may be
shaken from his perch. Passing over
bridge, the hollow roar may stun his
head for one fatal moment.
