CHINA MAKING PROGRESS.
Industrial and Comm ercial Growth
Of Asta's Greatest Country IL
an Assured Thing.

Europeans and Americans who have
lived long in China are quite unani-
nous in the opinion that the greatest
country of Asia, taking account Of
area, population and natural resources,
is making steady progress industrial
~ and commercially. and the general
belief is that more rapid gains are as
sured for the next few years. Statis-
ties Of exports and imports tell the
same story. So does the development
of railways and telegraph lines. The
worldwide Importance of this progress
is not easily exaggerated. 1t promises
to insure the existence of the Chinese
empire as an immense independent
state, for it lessons the force @: such
pretexts as might have been discovered
or invented for dividing or selling the
country It also makes the internal
tional Importance of China so evident
and SO great that no one European
power is likely to find the way ope n for
the absorption of SO rich an empire,
while the more progressive the Chi
neSe hecOme the less chance there will
be for an agreement between the lead
ing nations Of the west as to the terms
of possible partitioning of the mid
die kingdom.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Milford. Dec. 81.
Editor Of The Evening Journal
Dear Sir: You gave my last letter a
very prominent place in the Journal,
and ! thank you for IT, The extended
and courteous editorial notice, too, !
fully appreciate.
But your ardent praise OF Judge
Gray / imagine. has even made him
question his Democracy for why
should a Republican paper commend
ana defend his course? MI Mckinley.
too, approved Of the judge, and so does
Mr.. Roosevelt ana no Republican ever
condemns him. Then why not nomi-
nate him for the Presidency? From the
Palmer and Buckner Republicans IL is
but step into the regular fold, and
the nomination will bring him to the
place he logically belongs. have no
personal feelings against Judge Gray.
/ merely want him to act consistently.
and the Republican party TO do the
same If they are enamored with one
another let the party nominate him Tor
the Presidency, let the union be COM
plete. The Democratic party can have
nothing TO do with Judge Gray, he is
not a Democrat.
1 would remind you, too, that affa-
bility is the charm OF aristocracy, man
ner concealing heart and mind. SO you
see my charge is simply emphasized
by your defense and praise OF Judge
Gray, and no aristocrat can be q DEM
ocrat.
But let me ask most sincerely with
20 many laws TO oppress, isn't it time
that some are made to favor the peo-
Die? Democracy signifies this, rule
II the people. and so does populism
and surely no Democrat can be fright
ened by such a term. II is much bet
'er TO be populistic and American than
1nything else and un-American. The
Palmer and Buckncr Regular Republic
can party is anti-American, and that
why il is so afraid of populism and
Democracy. II does not believe in a
ule Of the people, the few are TO gov
'rn and the masses 10 be exploited
The Democratic party has become truly
Democratic. and the old aristocratic
eaders have turned upon Il to rend
and destroy and Judge Gray is aiding
the work. A party cannot remain
ristocratic and Democratic, and so
he Hamiltonian element OF Dcmocra-
y has turned az last 10 the Republic
IAN party where their ideal govern
nent has full fruition i'm the oppression
ana robbery OF the masses.

THE MAYORS FIRM STAND.

Mayor Bird having decided to enforce
the law in the matter of the disposi-
tion Of the water surplus. the Every
Evening gives him a column Of criti-
cism. II concludes It's grand-motherly
editorial as follows
II is probable that Mayor Bird
has been misreprosented bycareless
newspaper reports, and has no in
tention whatever OF doing what
they attribute to him.
As the report appeared exclusively
IN the Evening Journal due to the in
dustry OF our reporters. we accept the
challenge. The report of the Mayors
position is true, and we have his per-
mission TO say that it is correct in
every particular. Tho Every Evening
devotes many columns a year TO sling.
ing mud at those newspaper men who
are so unfortunate as not to be in its
employ, and this is only another in
stance.
But to return to the Mayor, and to
the story which from lack Of enterprise
our contemporary failed to get, we can
state that the Mayor declares that he
win use all Of his authority to preven,
the surplus OF the Water Commission
from going into the general fund. lie
says he doesn't care particularly what
the newspapers say nor what his crit,
les say, he has found law aud means
TO enforce it.
That Is position that is impregna-
BILE. lie may stand seronoly on tha
while the Every Evening cxhausts IFS
efforts TO undermine him. our con.
temporary hurls the law at him as
though IL were some novel discovery
but other newspapers have access to
it, as also has the Mayor He has road
It differently. Briefly it provides thai
the water surplus shall be applied &c
two things: The payment Of waite.
bonds falling due within the year fol
lowing, and the redemption OF any
other bonds Of the city falling due and
unprovided for. That is specih
enough, and certainly does not con
template that the money shall be turn
ed over to Council to be mixed Will
the general fund and to be applied tc
any purpose, We know that custom
is pleaded by Council, but we have had
too many bad customs, ana under theii
sanction even crimes have been COM
mitted.

light apparatus. The concussion W.
so great that it blew out the skylighr
over the stage and auditorium. Thi
statement of the theatre management
is contradicted by many people VIII
were in the theatre. and who declare
that before tho explosion occurred the
saw flames in a narrow streak creepin
along the wall near the upper part
the drop curtain.
About a score Of people in the sec
ond balcony were saved by firemen
who took them through the roof and
carried them down ladders in the rear
Of the building Two bodies tightly
locked in each others arms, young la
dies apparently about % years of age,
were found in one end Of the orchestra
pit. They must have fallen there from
the balcony above.
The body Of a dark-haired girl, al
parently u years of age, was found
impaled on the iron railing Of the FIRST
balcony She evidently had been
thrown over from the second balcony
above.
With all OF its clothing torn from it
but a pair of baby Shoes the body Of
a child about one year old was found
in a far corner of the second balcony.
It had evidently been knocked from It's
mothers arms and was trampled be-
yond all recognition.
Thieves Arrested in Theatre.
While scores Of men were busy car
rying out the dead and injured, 9TH
ers, fortunately few in number, search
ed the aisles and seats for valuables.
Two men were found who had pro-
yided themselves with baskets and
were filling them with the property of
the dead. They were Immediately put
under arrest. and the theatre ushers
and stage hands we're given the work
Of collecting all the valuable on the
floor of the theatre. During the even
ing the police arrested over a dozen
men accused of being thieves and pick
pockets.
The count of the dead was practically
complete at midnight, but It is not rs
yet accurate. and the exact number
will not be known before sometime TO-
day. Despite the utmost care. great
confusion marked the removal Of the
bodies.
In their haste the police transported
bodies to undertaking rooms and in
many instances forgot to report the
fact to their station. This is evidenced
by the fact that in five different under
taking establishments bodies were re-
ceived of which the police had no rec
ord whatever. Allowing for these dis
crepancies, the lists made by the po-
lice and newspapers practically agree.
The newspapers claim 5e2 dead; the
police 5S6.

city platform choose to regard him, We
consider him as a Democrat, bound to
the principles and tradi.lon1 Of a party
that Republicans have always fought.
and which they must continue TO fight.
President Mckinley regarded him as
a friend and n patriotic American.
President Roosevelt has placed him in
positions where his qualities might be
observed by the American people. And
yet he probably knew that Judge Gray
would be presidential possibility.
President Roosevelt simply emphasized
his brcadth--a breadth which It would
re well for others 10 initiate.
There is another thought which is
suggested by our correspondents let
ter which deserves comment. 1t is
That Judge Gray is an aristocrat There
have been periods in tho worlds his
tory when men have been hanged on
this charge and their goods conhscated.
Il appears that an aristocrat is a man
who has succeeded, and every man is
an aristocrat 10 the man below him IN

Will wager that cur correspondent has
been called "an aristoorat" by men
less fortunate in the matters Of brains
and property. It was upon a basis Of
this kind that Organism built its
structure, and because Of the rotten
ness Of the foundation it has fallen to

A REAl sANrA cIAiIs-

What is a real Santa Claus? The
question arises from a news item from
Dover in which it is said that the chill
dren OF church were entertained by
a 'real Santa Claus" Il occurs to us
that a real Santa Claus is only an inn
postor and that the true saint is the
delightful old gentleman that we have
seen only in dreams. and whose jolly
laugh we heard IN those old days when
fancy had not been conquered by fact.
In these days we have grown very
literal. We must have the real thing
on the stage-real fire engines. real
trees and there is a demand for real
complexions and hair. We don't give
the fancy much chance these days:
realism permeates our literature. 1t
means that every item IN iandscape
must be brought inio the foreground;
rvulets have changed 10 mud puddles
and lakes into duck-ponds we have
writers who can so vividly describe the
features OF a heroine that the least
freokle stands out In an Of its brown
attraetlveness while even the movs-
ments OF the flies on the wall are pof-
trayed-
Now it is logical that we should have
real santa Claus. We must see him.
know where he lives ana shake him by
the hand. Even the babies win be
satisfied With nothing less. and we
doubt not that in the future they will
refuse 20 be convinced unless they
watch the genial old saint as be de-
sceuds the chimney TO perform his
mission OF love.
