THE FIRE CLAIMS.

The work of the Fire Claims Commits
sion is piling up, and though there has
been such system introduced into the
preparation of the claims by the con-
suls of the chinese and Japanese Gov
ernments that the labor of examination
has been lessened. and the time of the
commission saved, there seems no prob
ability that the commission can get
through the list within the time set for
its life. With an average of fifty claims
a day. which is now being attained
the woEk%could- be completed, but there
We're n1any.r days on w Ilich the work
was much below this average. In adj
dition the number of claims now in,
5,516, will be swelled by the late filing.
The analysis of the claims as filed
shows a curious condition. The aver
age of the claims of the Orientals who
were thought to have suffered most
heavily, is. only $3.50 3s This is accounted
for by the fact that there are so many
claims of Chinese and Japanese which
arc very low, less than $780, On the
other hand there are claims of the out
side people, the owners of the buildings
principally, which though in number,
SO far as now filed, are 400, their aver
age is about 81, 100 There may be some
hard work before the commission in the
adjudication of such claims, as there
will have to be proofs brought in as to
values of the structures. The value of
the buildings of the Chinese, principally
erected upon leased lands, has been
found to be very low. Some of them
are large, but many will fall below $500.
The large claims like that for Kauma-
kapili Church, whose towers still stand
sentinel over the scenesof the fires des-
olation, undoubtedly have to do with
the nigh average of the outside claims.
The claims of the whites and natives
will be an interesting feature of the
courts work, too, for they have had to

A FIGHTING NEsToR.

An actor, new to Kansas, had the
misfortune the other day to enter the
Leavenworth Times office for the pur-
pose of whipping the editor. He did
not know that the process had proved
either fatal or damaging to many an
excited man and that the editors pri-
yate graveyard, from the accumula-
lions of forty years of strenuous life,
was already crowded. All he knew was
that the Leavenworth journalist was
seventy-eight years old and ought to be
an easy mark. His first surprise was
in having a hose turned on him; his
second in being chased down the hall
by an irate septuagenarian with up
raised chair; his third in finding out
that the editor was Colonel D. r. An
thony, brother of Susan B., and the
foremost fighting editor Of his time.
Colonel Anthony went to Leaven-
worth in the old Indian days with con-
victions quite as strong as those Of his
militant sister, and with an abiding be-
lief, which has been a guidepost to the
profession since, that it was his bust
ness to fight for good government and
smash anybody who got in the way.
Quite a number got in the way and
were duly chastened; some Of them
stayed in the way long enough to leave
their individual trademarks upon Colo
mel Anthony; but the colonel survived to
continue his services to his fellow-men
and "prove his doctrines orthodox with
apostolic blows and knocks
And at seventy-eight we find him
still writing his opinions in plain, I'M
eauivocal English, "saber-cuts of Sax
on Speech" as Bret Harte would say;
doing his level best to give good men
a chance and to keep rascals at bay;
and being ready at all times to stand
up for his convictions come who might
md with whatever weapon. And yet
say that people are decaying at
md that the race of grand old

THE PRICE OF WAR.

The articles in some sections of the
American press on farm burning in
South Africa are reminders of articles
appearing in the Confederate press
during the Civil War on farm burning
in Georgia.
When farms are burned by military
order 1t is usually because they give
aid and comfort to the enemy They
are arsenals of supply. When the Fed
eral commanders marched through the
South they put the torch to cotton,
which the Confederates were exchang-
ing for arms-that is, they did so when
the commodity could not be sent north
and standing crops We're also fired or
fed to the cavalry horses. Every time
fire occurred the Confederate fighting
strength lost that much When Sher-
man entered Georgia he found himself
in the midst of abundant crops which
the Davis government depended on for
the sustenance of the armies and the
people. He destroyed what he did not
use and in doing so acted the part of a
soldier who knew his business.
In South Africa the situation is the
same. There are, perhaps, 10000 Beers
In the field who are in no sense produc-
ers. They are consumers. They must
have food and their mounts must have
forage. These partisan rangers can
import nothing, as all harbors and ex-
terror domestic markets are held by the
enemy. Hence they rely upon sy1npa-
thizing Dutch and Boer farmers, from
whom they get grain, beef, fresh
mounts, occasional shelter and much
information. Without such aid they
would be starved and harried into sur
render.
Seeing all this, it is Lord Kitchener's
plain business to destroy the farms
to confscate the cattle, to ruin the
crops, to empty the granaries, and,
where houses shelter the active spies
and agents of the Beers, to burn such
structures and compel their denizens to
leave. All this involves great loss and
hardship. but war cannot be waged
without tremendous amount of suf-
fering. War is legalized murder and
incendiarism. Where 1t goes on widows
and orphans are made and homes de-
stroyed, people are beggared and COM
munities laid waste. To soften war is
to lengthen the time and increase the
costs of military campaigns. and even
the richest nations are compelled. so as

A REMARKABLE CASE.

There seems to have been more or less
hocus pocus about the case of the Chi
nese woman Chock Kan You, arraigned
II Judge Estee's court for deportation
under the terms of the Geary Act
AS we understand the matter, the
woman was delivered by the Judge into
the custody of Deputy United States
Marshal Hendry, which meant, if it
meant anything, that she was to be
kept under surveillance until wanted
and when wanted was to be produced
in court without having in the mean
time been permitted either to enjoy lib
erty or to combine with others to de-
feat the ends of justice. In brief, she
was to be held, constructively, in Jail,
pending further trial.
What actually occurred is this: The
woman was turned over to her lawyer
and to the Chinaman who wanted to
marry her so as to prevent her depor-
tation under the act, the provisions of
which she had been charged with vio-
lating. Deputy Marshal Hendry was
complaisant enough to let her go out of
his hands and into those of her lawyer
and the bridegroom. where she remain
ed long enough to get married and to
DSSill d FHOIey IIlOOIl, serene IN the De-
lief that she had, with Mr.. Hendry' s
courteous assistance, outwitted Estee
and the Geary law in the bargain. 1t
was queer business for an officer of the
Federal court to be in; for while tricks
were to be. expected of the lawyer and
his client. it was the Deputy Marshals
business, as jailor of the client, to see
that no illegitimate advantages were
taken by her to impede or defeat the
processes of the Federal law.
? IF there had been a conspiracy to keep
the woman, Chock Kan You a member
of the prohibited immigrant class in the
country, thus defeating the aim of the
Geary law, it could hardly have taken
more subtle and far-reaching form
than the one we have narrated But
the wonder is why the Deputy United
States Marshal should have gone to
such trouble and risk. The course of
the lawyer is applicable enough, for he
had his weather eye on a fee-but where
did the Deputy Marshal come in?
