The walerville y. Y, Hop Reporter
takes from the Producers Price Cur
rent the following resume Of the hop
market:
Further considerable lots Of 10th
State and Pacific coast have arrived for
export, and these, together with the
stock purchased here, are being shipped
as fast as freight accommodations can
be secured. This is still the leading iea.
ture OF the hop situation. and on the
continuance Of this demand largely de-
pends the healthiulness Of the market.
We are advised Of the sale Of very
choice lot Of shipping hops at l6c--the
highest figure reached this season.
Aside from this no business has been re.
ported above l5c. and the bulk Of offer
ings Of both State and Pacific Coast are
worth say l2dl4c, some common
growths Offering for less. Brewers have
been buying few hops. but that de-
mand does not show the increase that
was to be expecte at this season Of the

continued fair business in the range Of

EgOtism of Martial Men,

rrcm tne new 1Ork Ir1DuDe
The cable dispatches relating to the pub
lie appearances of Count Won Waldersee
since his return from China had not led Us
to infer that he was talking too much,
but, though he got back to Berlin only q
week ago, German papers are making
that complaint, and their remarks would
seem to indicate a somewhat prevalent i'm
preston. Thus, one Of them declares that
all the great leaders Of 1865 and 1870 did
not publicly say SO much about those wars
as Count Won Waldersee has already said
about the campaign in China, which was
insignificant, from military point of view.
Another thinks that he offends the ira
ditions OF the army by prafsing himself,
though indirectly. and still another regrets
that his addresses are not consistent with
military presidents.
For year or more after our war with
Spain the military men Of Europe appeared
to find a cynical sort of satisfaction in
characteriZing as peculiarly American the
freedom with which officers Of the army
and navy Of the United States discussed
part, the constant implication being that
such egotism and loquacity belonged ex-
clusively to the new world. with its crude
conceptions of dignity and discipline. It
may be admitted that there was a super
fluffy Of warlike "reminiscences for time
after the Spanish engagement, and we have
no inclination to Join the German press in
criticising Count Won Waldersee for q lack
Of reticence. But II the reproaches direct
military system are deserved. 1t may be
permissible to suggest the reflection that
human nature does not vary widely in Diff
ferent countries, and that supposed ma
tional faults should always be discussed

dents are described, Is there mention Of a
movement to inquire into the real respon-
sibility. No suggestion is held out that the
blame for the collision rests upon the COR
poration which, in defiance Of the laws Of
safety. maintains a grade crossing, even
with the intricate mechanism Of precaution
described. No hint is given Of the arrest
of the directors of the company, instead Of
the palpably innocent towerman, engineer
and conductor. The whole fault Is ascribed
to the dead motorman. This Is the average
process. 1t Is easy to blame the dead. and
hard for the dead mans friends to shield
his memory. But what matters 1t to the
public whether the dead man was guilty or
innocent of negligence or recklessness? The
motorman was doing in his feeble human
way the best he could with the devices
given to him. He was required to operate
his car on a nerve-racking schedule and to
think with the precision and the swiftness
OF a military genius In the face Of possible
danger. That he failed Is only another IL
lustration of the fact that it Is never safe
to depend in the least degree upon the
human machine under such conditions. 1t
should be put beyond the power of the
frail Judgment of a low-salaried operative
to imperfl the lives Of scores of persons
Just such crossings Of electric and steam
car tracks exist in every city, and they offer
the same opportunity for disaster. Such
points where fatal accidents are invited
every hour of the day should be given
modern treatment to put disaster absolute
ly beyond the chance Of human error.

Labor and the Chinese.

The American Federation of Labor Is
moving for a renewal of the Chinese ex-
clusion act. In address it has issued on
the subject appears this paragraph:
ITO the patriotic American 1t was an in
suit to the spirit of our institutions that
Minister Wu-Tingfang was permitted to de-
liver his Grafton last Independence day in
Philadelphia. From now until the time Con-
gress conveneS and during it's session one
Of the first duties of all citizens, and par
tcularly of organized labor, Is to leave no
effort untried to protect our people from
he dangers which confront us in this di-
rection. Unions on the Pacific coast have
already passed resolutions demanding re-
newed legislation. Their example will be
followed by unions in all parts of the coun-
try"
There is room for two opinions as to the
appearance of the Chinese minister In Phil
adelphia as orator on Independence day. He
is an able man, and has made close study
of our institutions. He spoke we'll from his
viewpoint on the occasion in question. and
those who had invited him did not regret
their courtesy. One could wish to see such
q man exercising a greater influence In his
own country. He would bring 1t the sooner
into touch with progress and western meth
DDS and thought. But we shall not be
msled as to the Chinese as a people by
this exceptional man. We well understand
that while he speaks In the interests of his
people. and naturally in praise OF them. he
does not, and cannot, alter the situation as
respects the advisability of opening our
gates to unrestricted Chinese immigration.
To the original proposition-that the Chi
nese in large numbers would work harm in
the United States both to American labor
and to the life Of the people In general
there has now been added the proposition
of our duty to the Philippines and to Ha-
wall. In the Philippines In particular the
Chinese are most Objectionable to the peo-
pie. and the American authorities are urged
to keep up the bars against them. This is
being done. and the policy Is almost certain
to be continued. If then we are at such
pains to protect our new possessions from
the invasion of the Chinese. what Is the ar
gument against a continuation Of the same
policy with respect to ourselves? What has
occurred I'm the few years that have elapsed
since the Geary law was enacted to make
it advisable for us to repeal that piece of
legislation, and invite the Chinese to come
in at their pleasure and improve the oppor-
tunity to establish themselves and spread
their customs hereabouts?
This Chinese question may prove to be
one of the most interesting presented to
the new Congress. AS presented before, 1t
provoked a warm discussion, and some
strong men were found on each side The
division again may show strong men OPP
posed to discriminating against any people
In the matter of immigration to America.
But the chances are in favor of continuing
to make an exception of a people so unde-
sirable and unasSimilabe the Chinese
have shown themselves to be.

lies on the northern shore OF the mouth OF
the Bristol channel. The Bantry Bay plan
contemplates running the ferry channel
steamers from the eastern Irish coast to
Bristol, which Is nearly one hundred and
fifty miles inland from Milford Haven. by
sea route. Bristol, however, Is a better
point Of debarkation than Milford Haven
because Of the superior railroad commune
cation with London. From Milford Haven
the line is circuitous and crosses the Welsh
mountains, involving comparatively slow
course across country. The turbine fea-
ture OF the new plan, which is apparently
seriously considered, for it has received
parliamentary sanction, is yet to be fully
described. The latest achievement of the
turbine, applied to a passenger vessel. did
not Justify the immediate hope of the de-
velopment of as high speed as twenty four
knots In actual service.

An Orator Out of n Job.

Is Mr.. Bryan to appear on the stump
anywhere in this years campaign? So far
there are no announcements that include
his name. The Ohio democrats have In
vited David B. Hill to open the ball for
them. That means of course, as the plat
form does. an anti-Bryan canvass. If Mr..
Hill accepts. and delivers such q speech SIS
may be expected from him, Mr.. Bryan's
appearance in the state at any time fol-
lowing would be unwelcome. Ohio, then.
seems barred to the Nebraskan this year.
How about Maryland? Somehow Mr..
German has never appeared to appreciate
Mr.. Bryan's eloquence. At any rate he has
never drawn upon 1t heavily In campaign
years. In 1899 Mr.. Bryan was not invited
into the state to assist in the campaign
for John Walter Smith. Last year he
whisked in for speech or two, but was
gone again in a moment. It was under
stood that Mr.. German did not approve Of
the maneuver. and the result indicated his
judgment. Maryland again voted for Nc
Kinley. So that if Maryland too should
prove to be barred to Mr.. Bryan this year
there need be no surprise.
They still admire Mr.. Bryan in Virginia.
but they have bracketed him with the has
beens," and consigned free silver to the
mouth. Could he with entire self-respect
go there? A voice from the grave would
be novel, but would 1t be convincing in a
political campaign? Besides. affairs In yir-
gnia are all one way. There is usually a
great hubbub at the outset about the activ-
ity Of the republicans and danger of losing
the state, but it is only for the purpose Of
stirring up the boys at the cross roads
he in yit,
aid of a derrick. Mr.. Montague's election
as governor is as good as registered at this
moment.
This brings us to New York Tammany
is under heavy fire, and will need help
Will Mr.. Bryan go to the rescue? His trib-
ute of last year is still fresh in the rublc
memory. Great is Tammany, and Croker
Is it's prophet!" Does that still hold good?
1t is the same old Tammany, and the same
old Croker. Age cannot wither, nor Gus
tom stale, their infinite depravity. But
somehow, with Tammany distinctly the
issue, one does not associate Mr.. Bryan
with the campaign on Tammanys side.
He Is personally too clean and attractive
a man to become the defender of such crea-
lures as Devery. Something may be par
doned to the exigencies of national cam
paign, but the question in New York this
year Is one of common honesty and de-
cency rather than Of everyday politics.
Barred then from Ohio, Maryland and
Virginia on fractional grounds, and from
New York on other grounds. where shall
Mr.. Bryan turn for an audience while the
battle RACES? Why waste his sweetness on
the desert air Of Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts. where everything is one way and
against him?
