II we walt long enough for the truth
1t will come jogging along even though
Its pace be slow.
In an address delivered by Bishop
Henry g. Potter of New York at st
Pauls church. New Haven, Conn,
short time ago that learned and able
prelate discussing the Chinese troubles
said: ''If I were to take brief in any
court In christendOm for one side or
the other, should take the brief for
China. And there can be no doubt as
to which side was responsible for the
beginning Of the cause in the recent
troubles. =" Processing Christian
engineers, bankers, merchants and
men who had commercial interests st
stake in China, are responsible for
what has happened. Not all of them
have been of one nation, not all Eng
lish speaking mt n, nothing could have
been more brutal than lhs policies of
Christian nations dealing with these
pagan people. We have trampled under
foot everything that the Chinese deem
most sacred"
This is the naked truth, stript of all
xeribage, sentimentalism and humbug
. confession of the guilt Of the so'called
Christian missionaries and fore handed
spseulators out of all the nations OF
Europe including America who likr
VuItures have swooped down upon the
Chinese in their own country and like
thieves have looted China after the
manner Of the most expert European
and American burglars. If this IS the
teaching OF western ciVlliz alton and
western Christianity, good Lord de-
liver US. The Bishops righteous de
nunciati0n Of the shameless acts OF pro-
Tossing Christians in China in destroy
ing property, in stealing valuables. IN
decorating the places held sacred bJ
these so called pagans is indeed SAD
reflection upon the quality OF European
civIliz alton and Christianity. Iutelli
gent Cinnamon like Mr.. Wa, can have
only contempt and lOathiug for civi
lization and religion which prOfesse,
one thing aud practices another.
It is indeed refreshing to note tha
the American conscience is BECOMING
aroused to the eno,mity and gravity o
the iniquities which disgrace It's name
and beIittIe its manhood in far of
China. It augurs we'll for another cIas

Manager Wells, of the Canoe Place
Inn, has raised a unique point in the
law. When that place was opened In

authorizing the place to traffic in

clause of the will still holds good,
The Anti Saloon League IL as busy

through the Legislatures OF Southern
States as thew are in the North. The
League in the Democratic State OF Ten
uessee has been very active OF late II
succeeded in having passed bV the
Tennessee House Of Representatives
the Peeler bill, which extended the four
mile law, law which prohibited the
establishment of saloons within four
miles of a school house in cities OF from
2.ooo to s,ooo population, thus practically
giving prohibition to all cities IN the
State except Chattanooga, memphis
Nashville, Knoxville and Jackson
When this bill reached the Senate the
liquor interests made an attack upon 1t,
and it was defeated there by narrow
majority. In retaliation the prohibi-
tionists entered upon a new tack and
have begun repeating the charters
Of ali smaller towns where whisky is
sold. In this they have been quite
succes siuI, a large number Of charters
having been deposited. Many bills OF
the same kind are still pending. During
the height OF the agitation the cities OF
Lawrenceburg and Huntington voted
for prohibition.
For the fir time since it was founded
Kansas City, Mo went dry last Sunday,
It being impossible TO purchase liquor
over a bar, while attachments to all
saloons, restaurants and hotels were
closed tight by order OF the police COM
missiOners. This was a result Of Carrie
Nations arrest and fine Of $500 two
weeks ago, temperance folk being
aroused to the point OF threatening
impeachment of the police commission
ers unless the Sunday liquor traffic was
stopped. AS a result Kansas City's
prohibition namesake on the Kansas
side OF the river did big business in
each OF its dispensaries, and they, as
we'll as the street car lines TO that district,
had no cause to complain of the effects
OF Carries punishment on their neigh
boring city.

Pan American Exposition Stamps.

A special series of postage stamps in
honor Of the Pan American Exposition
at puffalo, " ere distributed by the Post
Office Department OF the Government
10 all post offices IN the United States
on MAY Tst
The stamps are OF uniform dimensions,
O 76xI.o6 OF an inch, and represent
different forms OF modern transportation
methods. The borders take the colors
OF the regular series of the same denom-
nations OF stamps now IN use. The
words Commemorative Series, 1901"
and United States OF America appear
in the upper border above the vlgnette;
the legend in the line below IL designates
some particular feature OF transportation
appearing in the illustration. The line
at the bottom indicates the value Of the
-ste uap-bss Ponaan- capital -lsatsrs and
Arabic numerals.
All Of the central illustrations are
from photographs as the objects repre-
sented appear today, ald are printed
in black.
The one cent stamp represents steam
boat travel designated by a side wheel
Lake steamer with one funnel of the
style generally used on the Great Lakes
of today.
The two cent stamp represents railway
travel by train OF four cars and engine
of modern pattern.
On the four cent stamp is picture OF
the automobile ofthe closed coach order
with two men OF the box and portion
OF the United States Capitol n the
background. For this illustration a
photograph of one Of the Baltimore &
Ohio automobiles, taken IN front Of the
Congressional Library at Washington,
with the Capitol in the background, was
selected. The Baltimore & Ohio was
the first railroad to inaugurate this
method of transportation in connection
with its train service.
The FIVE cent stamp has representa-
ton OF the largest single spsn steel
bridge in the world bearing two trolley
cars, with view of Niagara Falls
beyond
The eight cent stamp shows the greal
ship canal locks at Saut Ste. Marie,
Mich, and the ten cent stamp shows an
American Line steamship with two
and masts.
The series make a most interesting
collection and is one which collectors
will secure before the stamps are can
celed in order to retain the effects Of tha
minute engTavings.

That is question. we dare say,
few people in town can answer.
We all know we have a pound,
that the same is in operation, but
not one man in fifty can tell you
where it is situated.
A gentleman called at our Office
last evening and asked us the
question. We could not tell him.
The fire department is just across
the street from us, so we applied
there for light on the subject.
They couldn't tell us.
This morning reporter was dis
patched 10 ascertain the wherea-
bouts of the pound, and we are
now able to tell you where it Is.
The city pound is situated just
back of w. A. Gilliam's meat
market on East Main street,
across the railroad; Jim Duston is
the keeper of same, and Jim is
also the impounding officer. There
are three horses in it at the pres
ent.
