NOT WORKING WELL.

The experiment with Chinese cooie
labor in South Africa isn't working
Just as it's advocates said it would. It
was claimed that this labor would not
displace skilled white labor. Yet the
London Spectator quotes the chairman
of the Van Ryn Mining Company as
saying that when the Chinese have
become thoroughly efficient, it is the
intention to resort more and more to
handdrilling is, to replace the
2,135 skilled white miners on the Rand
who work the machine drills with the
cheapest form of hand labor, that of
Chinese coolies. 1t has also been
pointed out that the coolies were
themselves deceived when they were
induced to go to South Africa. A Brit
ish clergyman, the Rev. Arnold Foster
of WI Chang, says that the adver
tisement under which the coolies were
solicited to go there, as published in
the Chinese language, contained none
of the restrictions of it's English Or
iginal. 1t was two or three months
after the first translation that the GER
titled translation of the real contract
was first published in Tien Tsin and
North China. The Rev. Mr.. Foster
thus declares that the coolies from
these sections were greatly deceived in
accepting the contract. This is some

The well-known Russian journal No
voc .Vremya can whistle cheerfully. In
an article published the other day it de-
clared that Japan needed peace far
more badly than Russia. 1t took the
ground that the anxiety for peace dis
played by the press of England and
America raises a suspicion that all Is
not as well with Japan as her friends
boast. How are we to explain the
fact that the United States and Eng
land, whose trade, industry, and ship
ping derive such enormous profits from
the war, are beginning to feel weary of
selves? Is it not because in England
and America it is beginning to be adj
mitted that in the further course of the
war the military successes Of Japan
are likely to be reduced to their true
significance?' The Noyoe Vremya then
refers to the utterances of ''some Of the
l7-4- E sfs e#
serious organs" of the. Slav, French
and German press. 1t quotes the Polit-
TX of Prague and the Journal DIES De-

Army and Navy officers have been
asked as to the proper way for girls to
salute the flag. i. The answers vary.
Some want them to salute just as the
boys do Others think they should bow
to the flag, or make courtesy, or just
stand up and remain standing. The
latter is General Corbin's idea. Adj
n1iral Schley wants them to lay their
right hands on their hearts, and bow
reverently. General Miles has more

Another Supreme Court Division
GerrymandeT.

The Quincy Herald calls attention to
the fact that a movement that has
been put on foot in the state legisla-
ture to gerrymander the supreme court
districts of the state so that it will be
impossible hereafter for the democrats
to elect a single member of the SUI
preme court and well says the demo
Gratis should be up in arms against it.
The proposition is embodied in bill
which was introduced in the house last
week by Representative Trautmann, of
East St Louis, which is intended to
reapportion the supreme court dis
tricts If adopted by the legislature
the measure is almost certain TO result
in defeat for reelection of Chief Jus
tice James b. Kicks and Justice Car
roll c. Boggs, two of the three demo
Gratis on the supreme bench of the
state Chief Justice Kicks lives in
Christian county, Second judicial dis
trict. and Justice BoCgs resides in
Wayne county, First Judicial district
In the Trautmann geTrymander Bond
and Madison counties are taken from
the Second and added to the First dis
trict. and Wayne, Edwards and Wabash
are taken from the First and added TO
the Second district thus placing Kicks
and Boggs. both democrats. in the Sec
ond district Both cannot be nOmina-
ted. and the republicans boast that who
ever is nominated they will elect the
candidate The terms of all the SUI
preme court Justices with the eXcep-
ton of Justice Guy {. Scott. democrat
of Aledo. will expire in June. 1906. and
the Trautmann bill is expected 70 ger
rymander the state so that the republi-
cans can elect six of the seven justices
al the next election.
With the exception of Justice Scott
the only democrats now on the supreme
bench are Chief Justice Kicks and Jus
tice Boggs The republican justices
whose terms Will expire next year are
Justices Jacob W. Wilken, of Danville;
BENJAMIN D. MaEruder. of Chicago;
John p Hand. of Cambridge. and
James H. Cartwright. of Oregon. It IS
expected that they viii all be renomin-
atcd. with the possible exception Of
Justice Magruder. who is said to have
fallen under the dispIcasure Of the

reason the corporation influences have

Cook. Lake. Will. Du Page and Kan
kakee counties. Under the Trautmann
gerrymander the counties of Will and
KankaEee are added 10 the Fifth. or
Hand district. and Du Page TO the
Sixth. or Cartwright district, leaving
Cook county in a district by itself. in
which the corporation influence is so
strong that Magruder's denomination
is probiematical.
Evidently, says the Herald. the cor
porate interests contemplate the absO-
lutte control of the supreme bench OF
Illinois. This intention is apparent in
every line of the proposed gerrymander
which singles out Justices Boggs, Kicks
and Magruder as the victims of cor
porate vengeance because they have
refused 10 obey the demands of organ
lied greed in the disposition of cases
brought before the supreme court for
final adjudication.
In rhe opinion of the Chicago Dis
patch. the party in power in the Illinois
legislature will be making a grave pO-
litical mistake if il passes the Traut-
mann bill. The supreme court of this
state has always been fortunate in that
il has stood above political chicaneTy
and corporate manipulation. It is bad
enough TO gerTymander congressional
and legislative districts, but when a
party attempts 10 control the judicial
branch OF the state government it viii
find that the people viii not approve of
its acts. something which was demon
strated when Justice Scott was elected
in a district constructed for republican
partisan ends.
As a matter of fact. the Trautmann
bill is indirectly a reflection upon the
republican members of the supreme
bench, in that il places them in the
position of being regarded as the IA
vorites of the corporations that are
seeking to Gust Kicks. BOggs and Ma
gruder from the bench. Unless the
democrats and honest republicans in
the legislature unite to prevent the
wrong that is contemplated the SUI
preme court of Illinois is likely TO suf-
fer q serious loss of the high regard
in which it has always been held by
the people of this state. If the general
assembly is wise in its day : d genera
ton it will keep its hands of the judi
cial branch OF the state government
