THE CHINESE EDITOR.
Death Penalty Externally Hangs Over
 Slant Eyed Journalists.

In Germany the position of a news paper editor is a precarious one. He must be very careful not to criticise the emperor, or otherwise nicur the wrath of the press censor or he will thrown into jail and his paper sus- pended. But in China it is even worse. The offending editor who expresses opinion, contrary to those of the ad- ministration is liable to the extreme penalty-death in no merciful guise.
 Several months ago a preacher of re- form in Pekin was beaten to death with bamboo rods. Later the editors of the publication called"Supao" were charged with sedition. Their seditior consisted in advocating more modern method in the administration of the government. This brought down upon them the anger of the dowager em- press. who ordered their instant ap- prhension. It appears. however. that the. editors mad realized the enormity of their offense for they sought refuge in the foreign reservation. where they came under the protection of the con sulates
 The question whether the. daring newspaper men should be surrendered to the native authorities was referred 10 the legations. It was certain that if this should be done cruel and bar barous punishment would follow The British consul stoutly opposed giving the fugitives uo. but for some reason or other United States Minister Con- ger sided with the Russian representa- tive who wished to accede to the Chin csc demand. An agreement was finally reached to detain the newspaper men for trial by a mixed tribunal.
 The trial has not yet taken place. On nothing more than an accusation the men have been kept in prison. all bail having been refused. And now the government announces that a spec ial deputy will be appointed to hear the case and this deputy will be in structed not to re lenient should the defendants be found guilty Evidently the penalty has already been decided upon. and the trial will be a mere form. All of which goes to show that the life of the Chinese editor is not one grand, sweet song. and that he who incurs the wrath of the Chinese law is the most unenViable of culprits.-Indianapo Journal.

An Arizona Dinner

It has been asserted by Missourians for fcrty years, or ever since iron was discovered down. in the Ozark region and coal in plenty, that there was no ether state in the union of states, no other geographical division anywhere in the whole circle of the worlds which could be fenced in and cut off from communication with the rest of the world as Missouri. Any region might be fenced off. There was a time when the Pima Indians cf this terri tory managed 10 live without imp0rta- tion. They had corn and other cer- calls tc eat and later after the advent of Coronado they had horses and cat tie. Previously they had deer, antelope and such other game as the mountains afforded. but the menu was net after all very varied one.
 But there was an AriHnIa dinner at the Bartlett-Heard ranch the other day, given to the visiting members of the Arizona Cattlemen's association. There were served beefsteaks which could have been duplicated no where else in the world at any price There were vegetables which would have been obtainable no where else. There were olives and oranges almost fresh from the trees: there was everything that the taste of the cattlemen could suggest, and everything came from the Salt River Valley.
 An impenetrable fence might be built around Maricopa county and the inhabitants would still live as luxuri- ously as cid EpicurUs himself.

voted for the maintainance of fl but for an increase of the force, nearly doubling it. It is strange that the greatest opposition to the rangers came from all the big cattle raising counties but two, Cochise and Pima.
 The legislature passed a new bill for the benefit of the live stock interests and that gave the rangers under Cap tain Thomas Rynning, appointed by Gov. Brodie as the successor of Cap tain Mossman, a. greater scope. The work the rangers have performed has been described from time to time, but uo eulogy could be more eloquent than that delivered at the meeting of the as~ Monday.
 The members of the live stock sani- tary board said that the law would not have been enforced without the agen- cy of the rangers, whose influence had extended into quarters where there was an active sympathy with cattle thieves This sympathy was felt not only by men who are classed as lawful but by many who believed in temporizing and compromising. They said that the rus tiers" had been good boys but had gone wrong" if they were logged just Q little bit they would be put on the right track and would become good citizens
 That was not all; local authorities, deputy sheriffs. constables. justices Of the peace, and in some cases, district attorneys. refused to assist in the pros ecution of men and boys whom they had always known, for mistaking the brand on a stee", for making slight al terations of the brand. or for actually lifting the animal.
 The rangers entered the field no res pecters of persons. They have practi cally broken up cattle stealing in the south; they have discouraged it in the. north; they are running out of the country the men who illegally thrive upon the range and now and then var jed the monotony of cattle stealing by holding up trains and stages.

priation of thirty-eight million dollars for pension payments was reported Garfield defended it on the ground that the pension account for the civil war had then reached the high-water mark, and from that year it would constant ly recede until it disappeared in com paratively few years. Secretary ShaW's annual report shows that the payment or account of pensions was the great est individual item of cost of the gov ernment for the year just closing. It was this year over a hundred millions more than it was when Garfield de- clared it had reached it's high-water mark.

But the pension payments this year showed a decrease of several hundred thousands over those of the preceding year. It is doubtful. however, that this decrease will be continued.

The Rangers.

The Arizona Ranger force is a peace preserving body. now about three years old. The law establishing it was pass ed by the Twenty-first legislature. and
 1t probably would not have been passed at all but for the exercise of the per- sonal influence of Governor Murphy
 It was urged against by some of the legislators that the bill was intended only to find places fer friends of the executive. But the bill was passed pro- viding for a small force, and the work it. performed brought it into publA favor. The first captain of the rangers was Burton C. Mossman, who showed the value of the body to the territory. The last legislature was by no means unanimous in the opinion that the or ganization ought to be perpetuated.

ENGLISH RAILROADS.
Two Hundred and Thirty Systems for
 22,000 Miles of Track.

One reason for the rapid advance of American industries and the relatively slow progress of Britian of in the same respect in the cheaDness of freight rates on this side of the water and their responsiveness on the other, says London Outlook
 The English railway systems total only 22,00O miles, yet this comparative ly smell mileage is the property of 23O companies, more than half of which are under separate manage ment. The others are "Ieas- ed and worked lines" Allowing an average of eight directors apiece to each of the 125 different companies. the English railways support 1000 di- rectors whose fee scan hardly be less than s1,25O year.
 The railroads of India cover a mile age of about 10000. Yet MT. Thomas Robinson the expert, who has recently reported to the British government on Indian railway administration, says that the task of supervising the lines of that vast country might safely be entrusted to a board of three quail fled men, assisted by a secretary, chief-inspetor and a number of inspec- tors and auditors. Three experts with small staff are considered by Mir Robinson capable of performing duties of about the same character as those for which in England are employed 1000 amateur directors with their sec retaries and assistant secretaries. ac- Countants, auditors, clerks messengers etc.
 If only half the sum of $1.25O.OOO q year paid away annually in fees to railroad directors were available for centralized railway board; it would be possible to attract the ablest men by offering the largest known salaries and yet make saving
 The saving by Standardization" is also to be considered. The Hartman roads, 17,QOO miles long, are to unify their machinery so that all parts of rolling stock shall be interchange pble.
 The consolidation of American roads has gone much farther than in Britian. The Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania systems contain about 10000 miles each, either one of them nearly equal ing the 22,000 miles of all England And though the individual roads in these systems have in some cases their separate boards. these usually consist of practically the same men. Many important lines are also leased and worked" Against the 230 systems of 22,OOO miles less than 100 miles to a line in England. the Vanderbilt and Penn sylvania systems include together less

ANEcDoTE OF SPENCER.


 Herhert Spencer while by no means an unlikable man. far less unsocial had always about him a great deal ot the theoriZing Dhiiosooer. Some who knew him well would even say that he was a pedaut. The direct influence up- on him Of his fathers strong character was very great. The parent was a teacher in a school of a Mrs. Turner, in Nottingham. and that lady used to speak of his talent for teaching in most enthusiastic terms. While Spencer as a young man was working at engineer ing his close friend and companion gagged :n the same profession. and was man of striking mental power. He predicted the fame of Spencer, and used to give very graphic accounts of bis friends excessive love for accuracy. Spencer would begin a sentence, pro ceed some way. then interrupt himself and say: No; I will express what I mean better in this way" choosing then another form of words. An anus ing instance of Spencer's tendency to theorize on all occasions dwells in the memory of one who witnessed it. Tine company at the breakfast table had had their letters brought to them, and after a time Spencer remarked to the hostess that he considered the social custom of not opening letters before others a senseless one. But, Mr. Spencer" said the lady, everybody has opened their letters but yOu."- London Outlook.

CURRENT COMMENT
TEACHERS AND TUBERCULOSIS.

The Indiana state board of health has prohibited the further employment ot 250 male and female teachers of the public schools of the state because. on examination. they have each hesn found more or less afflicted with tuber- culOsis. This is a new turn in the en- deavors of the authorities to prevent the spread of the dread disease of. con- sumption. But it seems a very p-oper regulation and the precedent thus set Uy the Indiana board Of health may be eventually followed by those of other states.
 The morality statistics of the country show that tuberculosis is an insidiously increasing and fatal affliction of the race, and that there is as vet. in spite or serums and other inventions. no way to minimize it's prevalence and fatali- ties except to take pr, cautions against allowing the affected 10 spread the dis ease among healthy people.
 It is the bounden duty of government authorities everywhere to guard the health or the communities they govern. It may work hardship on those whose misfortune it is to have contagious or infectious diseases, but the liberties of the few must frequently be restrained in order that the general welfare may not be certainly put in jeopardy. And when, as in the case of teachers in the public schools, there is danger that the teacher may communicate so treacher- ous and dangerous a disease as con sumption to large classes of children. and thus infect many homes, and per haps, cause many deaths, the wisdom Of excluding those affected with tuber- cular diseases cannot be sensibly uestioned.-Atlanta Constitution.

NJ. s. U. TO TRAIN ATHLETES.
Department of Physical Cultur
Will Fit Teachers to Take Positions
REPUBLIC SPECTA

RSP
Columbia, Mo-. Feb. 13.-In an interview
to-day Doctor Hetherington stated that
the University of Missouri. within the
next two years. would establish a depart
r.ent of physical culture that will fit
students for the position of physical direc-
tor in any kin of gymnastics or other
athletic work.
Kind in the United States that will be
under the control of any large educational
institution or State university. The doc
tor stated that the demand for physical
education had come to stay, and that
the supply of people who We're competent
10 direct physical education is now so
limited that almost any one who has even
the rudimentary knowledge of such work
can secure a position. Some of these
teachers. 1t is said, are not working on
the right line to get the greatest good for
those they have under them.
Doctor Hetherington is contemplating a
trip to Europe next September. and while
there he expects to make a short study
and investigation of the methods and
practical work done in the large gymna-
sums in London. Paris. Berlin and other
european cities. and he may also take a
short trip through Sweden and investi-
gate the methods of that country. The
visit Will be made more to see the work
actually performed than to study the
theories and ideas.
work on charts and diagrams showing
and demonstrating the method of handling
large gymnasium classes and others that
tell the training method for baseball and
track teams; These charts will be fin
ished In a few days. and they will be
used this spring in the development of
the two teams.
Negotiations are low being carried on
with Coach Mclean, and an attempt is
being made to get him to coach the track
team this spring and take charge of the
spring football practice. 1t is not known
as yet whether he will accept, but the in
are that he will be here late in
the season and will take hold of the team
Just before some of the big meets.
The position of baseball coach has been
onered to Professor w. l. W~estermann,
an old Nebraska pitcher. and if he can
md time to properly attend to the team
outside OF his regular duties he will ac-
cept.
Correspondence Is now being carried on
with the University of Illinois with re-
gard to a game. and if it can be arranged
the team will take a trip through Illinois

daily in preparation for the big indoor
meet which will be held with Kansas
