We are not very friendly to smelt-

of this one, however, is so far away

We have caught the street talk on
this matter and hear prominent men
criticise city officials very severely
who allow their names to figure in a
matter of this kind wherein valuable
concessions are asked OF the city, by
which said officers will be benefited

Newspaper Work Under
Difficulties.

Rev. w. H. Sears, former Mis-
sourian, who is correspondent at
Piugtu, of the Shanghai, China
Mercury, is newspaper man, who
does his work under difficulties.
Pingtu is city Of 900 people,
and a telegraph line runs through it;
but not enough messages are sent to
make it profitable to keep an oper-
ator there; so when the reverend
newspaper correspondent wants to
wire to his paper, he has to saddle
his horse and ride twenty five miles
over the hills to a town where there
is an operator. His letters to his
paper are not frequent, but his pur-
chases of stamps with which to send
them make one-ffth of the entire
stamp business of the Pingtu post
office.
Rev. Mr.. Sears has written an
interesting letter about China, the
Chinese and his experiences with
them to the Macon Republican.
Speaking of postoffices and tele
graph stations, he says the Chinese
government has established them in
few walled cities, but they are re-
garded as foreign Innovations, and
are not popular. He says of the en-
press dowager that the world has
done full justice to her character
in concluding that she is one of the
worst women alive.

PRESENT indications are that
the strong man after the vacant
seat on the Supreme bench of
the state Of Wisconsin, is Judge
Siebecker, Of Madison. Up to
date the bar Of the state has not
agreed upon any candidate, and
the Judge seems to have &C
quired support that will likely
land him the coveted place.
Judge Siebecker is brother-in-
law Of Goverdor LaFollette, and
it was at first thought that his
candidacy would lead to a criti-
cism thatthe family was asking
for a good deal, but such a COM
plant would not amount to
much. The Judge is a man who
stands strictly on his own
merits, and lawyers of all class
and creed, and the people gener-
ally throughout the state, viii
approve of his candidacy. AS
a circuit judge he is one Of the
strongest in the state, and while
there may be other good men in
the ted still at the same time
the indications now point to Sic
becker as the winner.
