Colonel Henry Watterson told a reporter
at Maneattan Beach that w. J. Bryan can

national democracy, but must he consid-
cred a political agitator out of tune with

The Louisville editor expresses the hone

would not declare himself for any success

Colonel Watterson pronounced free sill

dicted that the tariff and what might
prove a tendency toward imperialism, il
not actual Imperialism itself, i'm the ad
ministration of the . nations newly
acquired possessions would probably be
very vital issues in the campaign of 1904.

the Chinese that the missionaries are
on the lookout for some excuse to
overturn their government and Gus
toms. Nor can the missionaries
themselves be acquitted of all blame
for this feeling on the part of the
Chinese, What must their educated
men think when they read an article
by a missionary glorying in looting?
Or how can they square with the
teachings of Christ the demand of
some missionaries and they ride in
green chairs and be recognized as
the equals of viceroys and govern
ors? A few weeks ago Bishop Pot
ter, whose right to speak for the
most enlightened Christian sentiment
will not be questioned, dwelt on the
harm done by the failure of some
missionaries to understand and
respect the point of view of the
Chinese. And it cannot be doubted
that this failure on their part has
helped to complicate the situation in
China.-New York Tribune.

some Mosquitoes.

Thomas Walsh, an oil operator in the
beaumont fields, says he was driven ont
of Sabine a few miles south of the Beau
mont, by a plague of mosquitoes. The
mosquitoes came from adjacent salt
marshes in great clouds which darkened
the light of the sun. The insects settled
down on Sabine, and the workmen who
were employed in the construction of the
oil pipe line of the Lone Star and Crescent
Company were forced 10 flee for their lives.
All work was suspended, and the people
ook refuge under the mosqu ito bars,
lwhere they remained all day. Many cat
tie, horses and other animals were killed
by the insects. Mr.. Walsh says the mos.
quitoes were so thick il was almost
impossible to breathe in the open air. II
is the worst plague of mosquitoes ever
experienced on the Texas coast.
