THE CHINESE IN SOUTH AFRICA. 1

iHE CHINESE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
 The Chinese question in South Africa
 IS one of serious import. Most of those
 interested in the Transyaa1 gold mines
 are of the opinion that mining opera
 lions cannot be carried on in success
 ful manner unless the operators are
 permitted to hire at discretion Chinese
 coolies to work as miners The native
 lnhabitants can be counted upon to fur
 nlsh a certain quantity of low-priced
 labor, but not enough to supply the full
 needs of the mines, and, what is more, when the South African native has made a comfortable sum of money by the work of few months, he is more desirous of enjoying himself by leisure " spending his acquired wealth than ne is of continuing the hard work of mining. The representatives of the mining companies assert that they can not afford to employ white labor, and if the permission to import Chinese miners IS refused, some of the mines will be forced to shut down, while the profits on the others will be reduced below the point that their owners believe should be obtained. All this shows that it is by no means an unalloyed blessing to have a country supplied by nature with some of the richest mineral deposits. If there had been no gold mines in the Transvaal, it is quite improbable that the South African war would have been fought, for this was a contest precipita- ted primarily by themine owners them selves in their fear lest the Boer gov- frnment would in time, through it's ex- actions, obtain too large share of the gold mined in that country. And now that the war, which involved an expen- dfture equivalent to hundreds of mill loins of dollars and the loss of tfiou- sands of lives. has been fought out, we have the same miners insisting upon method of immigra tion and work which, II complied with. can hardly fail in the l long run to revolutionize the social and industrial condition of a large part of 1 South Africa. Instead of growing up Homogeneous colony by the eventual blending together of the Dutch and ! English clements in the population, l there will be this servile Chinese ele- l ment. Eervile because in all probabili- l ty, the Chinese Immigration proposed 1 will be to quite an extent one brought 1 tn under contract for so many yeares' work

COTTON MANUFACTURING.

New England cotton manufacturers
 are disposed to act cautiously in rela.
 tion to the southern movement for cur- tailing production. It is questioned whether the gathering of southern spin- ners last Tuesday was at all repre- sentative of the general nnanufacturine interest of the south, and until it is made to appear representative, no con- mittee will probably be sent on from this section to join the southern com- mittee in planning a general restriction of mill operations. Besides, a concert Of action remains to be brought about in New England. Individually, here and there. as at Fall River, mills are going on short time as their supplies of dictate, and there is likely to be general closing of mills for the last of each of the two coming holiday weeks, but as yet New England manu- facturers have not brought their heads together on behalf of common course of conduct. The whole trade meantime is in a state of great uncertainty.-- Springfield Republican.

rangement to exclude from our shore
 the dumping of American girls. The latter compete with the home market
 under most unfair conditions. Their parents, by means of trusts and such like pernieious associations, are able to give their daughters vast sums of mon ey. and in this way they are able to compete unfairly for the best home cus- toner in the matrimonial market. It may be said that our nation profits owing to these wealthy girls spending the money with which they are freight ed in England. The benefit, however, is questionable. Already there is vast amount of vulgar ostentation in what is called the smart London set, owing to the import of colonial miIlionaires, which raises the standard of fashiona- ble existence and lowers and degrades the tone of that society into which so many aspire to enter to the despieable level of the competing plutocrats of Newport and New York. This can only increase If we are to have the Anneri~ can goden girls whe become peeresses also making London the field of their barbaric laWlessness --London Truth.

LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS.

Upon the question whether life-bear- ing planets can exist on other solar sys.
 terns than ours the answer of science is clear and distinct. It is precisely the same which Prof Newcomb recently gave concerning the possible inhabitants of Mars: "The reader knows just as much Of the subject as I do, and that IS nothing at all.' Within our solar system we can indeed form some crude estimate of probabilities: beyond it nothing. All the amazing progress of modern science, all the revelations made by the spectroscope or by photogrfaphy. all the advance in biology have not brought us one step nearer an answer to the question. "Is this the only in- habitef world?" We stand essentially where Whewell and Brewster did half a century ago, or we might indeed say where Calico and Capoano were three hundred years ago. We can indeed snin out the discussion at greater length than our predecessors, and can intro- duee far larger number of more or less irrelevant facts, but of serious argu- ment, either for or against, we are en- tirely destitute, ,--Professor MMaunder in Knowledge.

GROWS SHOW INTELLIGENCE.

Employees on the highway bridge witnessed an incident Friday morning, which shows clearly that the crow may properly be classed as sagacious bird. A number of these birds were seen on the ice between Willow Island and the Middletown shore, when suddenly an unusual coinmotion attracted the att tention of the men on the bridge. It was at first thought that the birds were engaged in scrimmage, but it soon became apparent that there was some other cause for the incessant eawing. By the aid of a glass it was seen that one of the number had it's foot caught firmly between two cakes of ice which were slowly drifting towards the bridge. The rest of the birds seemed to fully realize the predicament of the bird, which was held fast and they were busily engaged in an endeavor to ex- tricate it. At least dozen of them were tugging at the bird with their peaks, and although several of it's feather were sacrificed, it gained it's liberty, after which they all repaired to the trees on Willow Island where a general rejoicing was indulged in.
