At a little after noon Friday
the special session OF the West
Virginia became a thing OF the
past, and whatever good or what
ever of bad enacted, is up to the
people for their approval or re-
lection. The proceedings OF the
session has been characterized by
a lack of rancor and bad feel
ing.
Two bills of considerable i'm
portance were finally made laws
at the morning session Friday.
One was to concur in an unlmpor-
tant Senate amendment to the bill
with reference to the penitentiary.
The penitentiary bill was passed
under a suspension of the constl-
tutional rule. and provides that
the guards of the institution shall
be charged with the duty OF con-
veying prisoners from the place OF
conviction to the penitentiary,
thus doing away with the enor-
nous charges for the conveyance
of prisoners by the Sheriffs OF the
several counties. The bill af-
fecting the management of the
West Virginia asylum and reduc-
ing the number of the members Of
the Board of Directors, was also
finally passed and goes to the
Governor.

and tWelves hours a day and some
times sixteen hours for dollar and

Whether these efforts viii have the
desired effect Is another question As
long as people in the Old Country

the facilities for making a living, and
sometimes fortune, immigration will
continue. But It is evident that the
labor agtators here, who are afraid Of
competition, have found valuable

A NOTABLE OCCASION.

PROPHECY AGAINST PARIS.

Paris is at present reminded Of It's
wickedness, by modern jeremiah who
predicts the destruction of the central
part Of the great city, by fire. 1t seems
that he Is distributing handbills In
which It Is stated that the French cap
ital is about to suffer the fate Of Sodom
and Gomorrah because heaven Is an
gered against It. Only the center,
however, IL threatened this time. The
outlying districts will be spared for the
time being. when the fires from above
rage, and the inhabitants are swallowed
up in the fiery furnace, The prophet
advises all prudent people to flee from
the doomed district,
1t does not appear, though, that the
Parlsians are being impressed by the
forecast Of disaster, Business goes on
as usual, and so do amusements, 1t
is not in human nature to heed warm
ings Of that kind. In the ancient capl-
tai Of Judea, before the destruction by
Titus, a similar warning voice was
Httlut ipI a lbHb lllilNi diib cNNA PNiat
cution was unable to silence IT. We do
not know that there Is any comparison
between the weird prophet of the his
tory of Josephus and this Partisan seer,
but the remark Is pertinent that people
do not readily, as a rule, believe In
warnings. They are naturally optlmists
The inhabitants Of Nlnlyeh changed
their course, when Jonah spoke, and
that Is really the great miracle Of the
much controyerted book that bears
the name OF that prophet.
In all probability the Paris prophecy
is the outcome of the present conflict
between church and state "a France. In
the view Of devout adherents Of the
church, the state that arrays itself
against the representatives Of heaven
Is ripe for destruction. But whatever
explanation is given to the phenome-
non, it Is worth while watching. The
French revolution did not take place
without some similar forecasts Ana
very few calamitles Of a general ma
ture occur without some kind OF war,-

AGAINST EMIGRATION.

A few days ago It was shown by flg-
ures issued by the British parliament,
that since 1851, about 100000 people
have omlgrated from Ireland During
the past year. the emigration amounted
10 10000, In round numbers,of which 49,
600 came to this country. II seems that,
since 1851 tho Irish population has dim.
inished from 6552,3S5 TO i,45S775, A
curious fact noted In this connection "a
that the shrlnkage has been greater In
the female than the male part Of the
population. whch,of course, means that
so many more women than men have
let the country. The loss IN men IL
given as 0S9,59O and that In women, H.

It Is no wonder that Irish patriots are
planning an anti-emlgration crusade

A CHINESE PERIL.

Perhaps the greatest danger 10 be
feared from the Japanese victories on
the Yalu river ~. that the Chinese may
be tempted to join the victorious army
IN the pursuit The Chinese govern
ment has pledged itself to neutrality
and the pledge would not be broken
technically even IL some Of the vice.
rows should overlook neutrality regu-
latlons and let their soldiers take part
in the war. The Pekin government
would not be responsible any more than
our Washington authorities would be
responsible for overt acts COM
mIttcd under state jurisdiction.
And why should China be compelled
10 neutrality, while a war Is waged
concerning her own territory? japanese
land victories mean that II Japan wants
China as an active ally China viii take
part in the war, without the slightest
regard for European wishes And then
the question Is whether the European
powers can remain inactive spectators
IN the frandstand.
And China is not to be despised as an
ally in this war The years that have
elapsed since the last war with Japan,
have not been permitted to 90 By In
idleness, though the rest Of the world
has but little idea Of what has been
done. 1t is claimed that China now
can furnish a million soldiers Of which
25OOOO are properly drilled and armed.
They have been trained by Japanese Of
ficers, and they are thought to be as
good fighters as any other Asiatlcs. 1t
is feared that the Chinese may be
drawn into the fray Il is said, for In
stance that the viceroy Of Chin ii, Is
one OF the best Of the Chinese soldiers,
and that he has the cream Of the Chi
nese army under his command II Is
believed that he is strongly pro-Jap-
anese. and would welcome some ac-
ton on the part of Russia which would
force him to action. He Is thought
TO have 250,OOO men, we'll drilled and
well armed with the most modern
weapons, so placed that they can be
thrown against the right flank of the
Russian army at any time, The situa-
tion is undoubtedly critical.
