According to Mrs. Worthington
White, formerly missionary in
China, peanuts and Standard Oil
had more to do with the Boxer
movement than the missionaries. +"
She explains that for thousands of
years the Chinese had planted pea
nuts and extracted the oil which
was their only article for artifi-
cial light. Then the Standard
Oil Company entered China and
undersold the natives with kero-
sene oil, and the peanut oil indus
try was ruined. That deprived a
lalge number of farmers of their
principal means of a livelihood.
Then followed railroads, throwing
thousands of coolies out of en-
ployment. The natives became
frightened, and under the leader
ship of the Dowager Empress
started the movement to drive the
foreigners out of the country.

PROSPECTIVE DEFICIENCY.

Governor Gambler is wrestling
with deficiency in the state
treasury. He finds that after all
the states expenses are paid with
incoming taxes this year, there
will still be a deficiency of $780,
88S. This does not take into ac-
count the $4,000 to be paid to
the new class of widows created
by the last legislature and if they
are paid the deficiency will be
increased by just that amount.
1t means that the legislature
will have to cut down appropria-
tions or increase the tax rate, and
the latter could only be done, it
is said by two-thirds vote of the
legislature. The Governor will
make some recommendations with
regard to the matter in his annual
message.

An elephant-catcher seems to be
needed in India on the railroad
between Bengal and Assam. AS
the superintendent of the line was
making an inspection over it on
the night of July II, last, while
passing through the great Nambar
forest, the train came to a stop
with a jolt that threw the travel
ers out of their births. 1t had run
into herd of wild elephants,which
were trottlng down the track, the
hindmost of which had both hind
legs broken and was thrown into
the ditch, while the engineman
counted seven others which1sgot
away. This was not the first
time that wild elephants had got
on the track, aid ordinary fences
and cattle-guards are no protec-
tion.

A Seattle dispatch says that of
the 500 latest arrivals from the
Klondike gold fields not one
brought back as much money as
he took out with him. However,
it will all come back ultimately.
Nobody is going to make per-
manent residence in the Klondike.
Everyone who goes there expects
to return to the states as soon as a
fortune has been cleaned up.

President Roosevelt said at a
recent meeting of the Long Island
Bible Society: "We must Guilt
vate the mind but it is not enough
only to cultivate the mind. With
education of the mind must go the
spiritual teaching which will make
us turn the trained intellect to
good account. A man whose in
tellect has been educated, while
his moral education has been neg
lected, is only more dangerous to
the community because of the ex-
ceptional power which he has ac-
quired. Surely what l am saying
needs no proof; that education
must sbe education of the heart
and conscience no less than that
of the mind.

According to four Republican
governors of Northern. States, who
have refused to extradite the main
conspirator in the Kentucky as
sination, it was an unspeakable
crime to kill a Republican pIesi-
dent, but a patriotic duty to shoot
down the Democratic governor of
a Southern State. The most re-
cent refusal has come since Nc
Kinley's death, and shows how
much the Northern heart has been
softened by manifestations of
Southern sympathy.-G fiji II

CzOLGoSz,s COUNSEL.

1t is said that the CZolgosz trial
at Buffalo for the assassination of
President Mckinley was devoid of
features of a sensational nature.
This may have been so, but it is
equally true that it was rich in
amusing incidents which were fur
nished, not by the prisoner as was
the case with Guiteau and his an
tics, but by the Learned counsel
for the defense.
Thus Judge Lewis in his re-
marks to the jury solemnly in
formed them that, II remember
when | was a young man living in
Auburn, studying my profession,
the news came that a colored man
bad gone upon the shores of Owas-
co lake and there had practically
murdered an entire family named
Van Ness.'' 8as
Murder does not admit Of de-
grees. If a life is taken it is taken
entirely. One cannot be partly
dead and partly alive. Presuma-
bly, the Judge meant to say that
the negro murdered practically
the entire family, perhaps one es-
Gaping. Or were all the members
of the family SO badly injured as
to be practically dead, il. such
thing can be possible even though
the victims afterwards died of
their injuries. If this was Judge
Lewis idea he expressed himself
very incorrectly. Judge Lewis
further said in his speech that,
ut is not long since I read in a
paper that colored man in the
South had his life taken because
he had insulted a white man.
What it was the paper did not say,
but.he was strung up" The diff
Guilty with numbers of northern
people is that they accept and give
publicity to reports about the
south which are net properly III
vestigated. Some northern pa
pers, unfrlendly to this section,
purposely garble their news re-
ports SO as to make them unfavor-
able to this part of the country.
For instance, the incident alluded
to by the lawyer"of Czolgosz may
have had its origin in a press dis
patch to the effect that the negro
after insulting the white man had
committed a grave crime for
which he was lynched, and the
latter part of the report may have
been, by design or accident, omit
ted. Certain it is that negroes
are lynched for crimes which even
here are not considered sufficiently
grave to justify such summary |
punishment to the perpetrators. !
This is the great wrong Of lynch
ing in general. 1t degrades the
public mind and blunts the public
conscience, leading it to counter
ance the taking of human life, not |
only for heinous crimes, but for
lighter offenses which the expert
ence of ages has decreed shall be
punished in a less severe degree.
Judge Lewis negro may have
been practically murdered" by
his assailants::for the cause named
that is strung up to a tree and
let down again before life was ex-
tinct-but it is morally certain
that he did not have his life taken
only for the reason that she had
insulted white man. 1t was
very unfair to the south to have
made upon such an occasion, so
grave charge against it, sup
ported only by newspaper re-
port. RADIUS VICTOR.

New York, November 30.-Amalaga-
mated Copper shares saw further Vi
cissitudes today and maintained their
influence on the general market. The
raw copper markets abroad were re-
ported quieter today, after yesterdays
normous liquidation. and Amalgamat-
ed started upward here, reaching a
point above last night. This had a re-
vivifyirg effect On the general list and
upward movements began here and
there. These were among the cOalers,
hard and soft, Louisville and Manhat-
tan. Sugar was marked up over a
point.
hen Amalgamated Copper resumed
it's recent occupation of making new
low records and touched 72k In the
course of the morning. Very circustan-
tial assertions were made that large
