OUR GROWING TRADE WITH CHINA.


ments of wheat -four TO China from
the United States in 1892 amounted
to only S61 AL, and in the year just
ended were $291,252. Of cotton
cloths our shipments to China III 1892
we're 65,000,000 yards, and in the
year just ended 335,000,000 yards.
OF mineral oils our exports to China
in 1892 were 100000 gallons, and
in the year just ended 81 100000 gal
Ions. OF manufactures of tobacco the
total shipments in 1892 were $57, ,226
in value, and in 1902 were $603,433.
OF provisions the total in 1892 was
$40,32l, and in 1901 $4,000
As to cotton, China's imports up to
this time have been small, but show
rapid growth during the past few
years. The total imports of raw cot
ton from the United States into China
were, in 1894, 5.747, 900 pounds, and
in 1901 33,9s0,O0O pounds, the total
value being in 1894 $42S,l2O, and in
1901 $2,7S4,960. Practically all of
this seems to have been drawn from
India. The figures of exports from
India show shipments to China of
81 .S77, ,632 pounds in the year ending
March 81, 1900, and 62,634,972
pounds in the year ending March 81.

CHILDREN IN FACTORIES.
By L. L.

The question of the employment OF
children i'll factories has assumed vital
Importance i'll the South, and enc
might as well say in the United
States. since this is one of those mat
ters which. if left unsettled. must in
time affect the whole country.
Child labor in the South means
cheap labor, and the lowering of
wages below the living point; this
competition will affect factories else
elsewhere, and pressure will be put on
the operatives to send their children
likewise into the mills instead of the
school room, and thus the harmful in
fuence of one abuse will spread in a
widening circle.
Moreover, that which lowers the av-
erage health and strength of the pco-
pie of one section of this country will
in these days of easy transportation
and constant nGgraion eventually af-
feet the whole people.
1t is more than ever true that we
cannot afford to allow one section of

Justice Oray's Suggestion.

The retirement of Justice Gray, of the
United States Supreme Court. has fur
nished a text for many "reminiscences of
his earlier days. While he was mem
ber OF the supreme court OF Massachu-
setts he had an amusing experience with
a certain Boston lawyer, an exceedingly
pious man with a taste for evangelical
tion, who had his letterheads printed
with a verse of Scripture in large type
following the name and address. On
one occasion, having to make an ex parte
preliminary argument before Judge Gray
in chambers, in which 1t would be neces-
sary to disclose certain parts of his eli
ent's case which he desired not to make
generally public until the trial. he wrote
the Judge note. asking that he be al
lowed an opportunity TO speak to him in
private. He was somewhat chagrined
when his note came back TO him with
a scrawl across the bottom: Request
denied. with a suggestion from the court
that counsel base future petitions on
more appropriate citation
For a moment he could not make out
the meaning of this, as he was not
aware that he had quoted any law; but
glancing up the page he discovered that
he had written his note on letterhead
bearing this text:

The Glory Of d Society Editor

The statement that steps are being
taken to facilitate trade between the
United States and China and to I'M
prove the banking and transportation
facilities is not surprising in view of
the rapid growth in commerce be-
tween the two countries III recent
Years. Importations into China in
1890 amounted to 12S.000.000 hal
kwan taels. and of this only 3,6I6,000
taels was from the United States, and
24.60S.000 taels from the United
Kingdom. In 1901 the total impor-
tations into China were 26S,000,000
haikwan taels, and of this 1898. COG
taels was from the United States, and
41.223,53S taels from the United
Kingdom. Thus the imports from the
United States in 1901 are more than
six times as great as in 1891, while
those from the United Kingdom are
less than double what they were at
that date.
Our own figures of exports to
China are equally striking in their
evidence of growth in our commerce
with that country. In 1892 the total
exports TO China from the United
States were $5,660,497 and in 1902
were $24,715,S6l. The principal
growth up to this time has been in
manufactures Of cotton, breadstuffs,
provisions. tobacco, wood and manu-
features, and mineral oils. The ship

The code of laws which went into effect the first day
of the year made radical changes in the subsan
al criminal law cf the District In comparison with mod
statutory law regulating crimes, ii falls far short of
complete criminal code.
As the social organization becomes complex, the
contest between criminal ingenuity the hand, and
legislation adapted prevent and punish the exercise of
this ingenuity the other becomes more intense. 1t has
been the experience of those engaged making
and enforcing laws relating crime that such laws must be
prosessve because the wit of the criminal finding loop
holes in existing laws is emphacally progressive There
fore there be such thing perfect code of crmi
nal law should always be subject to changes meet
conditions.
Our present criminal code is advance former
laws in force here both in It's definition and description of
crimes and in the procedure afforded for their punishment.
1t furnishes excellent basis for such changes study
and experience shall demonstrate to be necessary

The Rosebud and the Bee.

The maid demurred, "I fear" she
said.
ITO grant this gift to you;
One kiss might leave no sweetness
where
You say are sweets beyond compare,
And then what should I do?"
"The rose" he said, 'is just as sweet
When the bee has flown away
AS twas before he came to sip
Should one kiss leave the maiden's
Less sweet than ever, pray?"
She hung her head and softly said:
But am not 4 rose,
And you are not a honey bee
What sorrows might descend to me
With your one kiss, who knows?"
Nay. nay. fair maid" he madly
cried.
One sweet KISS granted me
VIII leave your lips still sweet; l
pray
You play that you're the rose; III
play
That I'm the honey bee"
"You say one kiss can matter not?'
He heard the maid repeat
Last night another. whom you hate,
Took one long kiss from me- wait
Learn if they still are sweet"
He had no taste for honey then,
A sigh from him was wrung;
Her lips looked rosy still, but he
Forgot the rosebud and the bee
And left her, sadly stung.

J. Clincb Smith. who gave dinner Wed
nesday night for seventy guests. 1t was
called a farm-yard dinner and guests
were seated at a table which was made
TO resemble a farm-yard. Four hundred
fresh green sods. cut especially for the
occasion, covered the table, which was
twenty feet square. In the center was
a miniature pond with live ducks and
geese in the water, while running about
on the green grass were hens and
chickens and two little pigs. 4 minia-
ture farmhouse occupied a prominent
position in the landscape and there were
other rustic features on the farm-yard
table. The room also was made to re-
semble country scene. All the decora-
tions we're elaborate and artistic. Dane

Civil Service in Southern States.

Civil Service in Southern States.
ut is all very well for President
Roosevelt to jump on the Republicans Of
Texas and Virginia for not displaying
more activity" said Mr.. Lynch B.
White. of the Lone Star State. at the
Raleigh last evening. but the President
should not forget that ii requires an or
ganizaticn-a machine-to stir up the
enthusiasm and get the voters out. The
small fry, as the rank and file are called,
are not apt to sit up late O. nights think
ing out schemes whereby they can carry
this or that district, when they are in
formed beforehand that every little Fed
eral office within the State, outside Of
the Presidential appointments, is nailed
down by the civil service law.
What is the use of running up against
the pricks when there is nothing to be
gained? Texas and Virginia are hope
lcssly Democratic. although there was a
time when the Republicans could boast
of a strong organization in Virginia. And
the boys who hustled were recognized by
the officials we helped TO put in power.
But it's different now.
There are a few fellows in my State
and in Virginia-in fact. in all the over
whelming Democratic States-who get
the offices Then the leaders, who get
the Presidential appointments. have
their hands tied by the civil service
laws.
Civil service may be all right in its
place. but ii won't elect delegates to ma
tional conventions. If the President
wants to build up the party in Texas or
any other Southern State where the Re
publican vote doesn't cut any figure, he
will have to modify his civil service reg
ulations in the matter OF appointments.
