Fatally Hurt in Well,

Portsmouth, Ia, Sept. 9.-Wesley
Knauss, wealthy and prominent
farmer living seven miles from this
city, met with an accident which will
probably cost him his life. He was

him. Knauss was looking up when
it fell and the heavy bucket struck
him in the face, breaking the cheek
bones, both jaws and his nose. There
is little hope for his recovery.

AS TO CHINESE EXCLUSION.

There is a good deal of misunderstanding as to the
real facts of the Chinese exclusion act. There Is only one
reason why this country discriminates against the chi
nese, says the San Francisco Chronicle. 1t is that so very
few of a desirable class seek entrance into this country
much less desire to make the United States their per.
manent habitation. Almost all of them are Of the coolie
class. willing to work for much less than American labor
ers can afford to accept, sending their money nome every
month, and adding nothing to the growth OF th-s country
in any way.
Experienced inspectors declare that even of those
who seek entrance under the limitations of the exclusion
law, on the ground that they are educators, scientists
or are otherwise entitled to exemption from the law,
many are found, upon investigation, to be merely coolies
coached for the purpose of evasion.
The class that the exclusion act keeps out is distinct
lively detrimental to this country. For this reason CHINA
has no good ground to retalate against this country. Am
orleans who go to China are not of a class corresponding
to the Chinese who come to this country.
There is a very strong suspicion, to put 1t mildly, that
most of the recent agitation against exclusion has been
conceived, engenedered and promoted by railway and
steamship companies that covet the business that would
the boycott movement in China is a direct result of this
artificial agitation. Aside from more or less evidence in
the case, the theory that the railway and steamship COM
panies are behind the agitation is entirely plausible be-
cause it harmonizes with their policies in other affairs.
But there is little danger that the bars will be put
down. The reason for keeping them up are too strong.
And as for the boycott, if China, as a government, really
encourages this policy, the United States can go to Japan
for most everything it now buys in China. And there
would be a particular reason for doing this in view of any
ingratitude that China might show for all that the United
States has done for the preservation Of its territorial and
political integrity.

nae HOMECOMING OF rHs sEA KING.

One of the greatest of the sea kings from Jason to
Togo has just had his ashes deposited on the soil of his
home land. Almost as many countries had a connection,
at one time and another, with Paul Jones as there were
cities which claimed the honor of being Homer's birth
place. He was born in Scotland, he fought for the Ameri.
cans in the war of independence, he commanded a fleet
in the French navy in the war against England, again he
returned to the American service, and then he held a high
command in the Russian navy, after which he went TO
France, where he died in poverty just as the Bourbon
monarchy of Louis XVI. was being replaced by the first
republic. Such is the epltome Of John Paul Jones as given
by the Globe-Democrat.
But it was as an American that Paul Jones won the
fame by which history knows him. America has been
slow in honoring this earliest of her naval heroes. Wash
ington thanked him In the most eulogistic letter the faith
er of his country ever wrote about anybody. Congress
awarded him a gold medal, though Washington vainly
urged upon that body some more substantial recognition
than this. He received swords, letters of thanks from
Louis XVI. and the French government. But by both
Amrica and France he was forgotten in his closing days
France, in the throes of the volcano which extirpated the
Bourbon regime and set up the republic, was too busy to
think Of the hero Of the Bonnie Homme Richard. America
itself poor and obscure at the time, and in danger of at
tack from more than one quarter in Europe, had no tim'
to look after its exiled son in his obscurity and poverty.

LESS FOR TEACHING
THAN STREET SWEEPING
SELECTED

Some figures have just been collected and published,
upon good authority, which ought to make all public-spir-
tied Americans blush with shame.
In New Haven, Conn, one of the countrys most prom
inent seats of learning, there are school teachers getting
only $500 a year, while the lowest pay given street sweep
ers is $3.50.
Street sweeping is a worthy occupation, deserving Of
l comfortable living. Cleanliness" the world has long
been abmonished, sis next to godlness.' But the street
sweeper requires no special talents or training. His
character need not be such as to exert an influence for
good mentality and morals upon the rising generation. A
pull at the polls is the only qualification commonly re-
quired.
That the street sweeper should be put above the
school teacher on the pay roll, in the shadow of one of
the greatest colleges in the world, shows a strange incon-
sistency in a people who make of education a fetch.
Unfortunately, New Haven does not stand alone.
The figures show that Chicago, Washington, Column
bus, Ga, and Meridian, Miss, are the only cities in the
United States where the minimum pay of school teachers
is higher than the minimum pay of street sweepers.
We do a lot of Dragging about the common school
system of this country. We are very proud of our general
education. We like to think and to say that our learning
s Illuminating the remotest points of the earth.
But there is not so much complacent satisfaction for
self-respectiHg people in the fact that these great results
have been brought about not through our own liberalty.
but through the sacrifice and s~elfdenial of the thous,
ands of noble men and women who giee their trained
minds, their high character, their whole lives, to the up
lifting of our children, and get but a bare plttance.
High talents and long training are required to teach
school-talents and training that if applied in a more
selfish occupation would command rich returns.
The school teacher accepts a self-sacrifice that is I'M
appreciated and wholly uncalled for.
The prosperous and fairminded American people
ought to be ashamed to permit it.
There may be many reforms needed in this land, but
none that would more advance justice and increase our
selfrespect as a people than the elevation of the school
teachers above the level of street sweepers and the paying
of salaries commensurate with their high services,

He IS AT THE END
OF THE TRAIL
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF
THIS PAPER GIVES SOME
POINTERS ABOUT EXPOSITION.

Special Correspondence.
Portland. Ore. July 26.-After trav-
cling over the Oregon Short Line and
Salt Lake road, tfaversing the Ne
vada. Utah and Idaho deserts, your
correspondent hauled up at the end
of the trail Monday night. 1t was
good to enter the Snake river valley,
with its green verdure, and the valley
of the picturesque Columbia, after a
desert Turkish bath of two days. But
the ride through these valleys was
full pay for the roasting.
We find Portland dizzy with excite
ment. Every hotel in the city is
crowded and IL cannot be said that
the rates have not been elevated for
the exalted occasion.
The exposition is not a great fair.
It is a sort of a birthday affair, be.
ing celebrated by the people of Ore
gon, Washington and Utah. The exhib.
its are decidedly native, excepting the
government exhibits, which are the
most elaborate on the. exposition
grounds. The fish hatchery and the
means the government has in supply.
ing fish to the ish-barren streams OF
the United States, are most interest
ing.
The irrigation and desert reclama
ton exhibit of the government is ex
citing great attention. But we from
New Mexico are jealous, when after q
careful search of the entire premises
we find that our Elephant Butte dan
proposition is totally ignored, when
on the other hand, eight different pro
jects from different parts of the arid
west are exploited by miniature topo
graphical maps, with dam structures
food gates, and statistics GOVERNS
every project in detail. The Sail
river project is attracting the great
est attention.

wA1gR WORKS ANSWERED.

The water organ it still yelling for facts, figures and
estimates" upon which The Citizen made its statement
that an up to date water plant could be installed IN Alou
uueruue for approximately $4,000. This paper gave lis
authirity for the statement when it was published the
first time. and has given it a number of times since.
The statement was not made upon figures and estl-
mates. The Citizen or any one connected with 1t is not
an expert water engineer, neither has this paper belonged
to people engaged for eleven years in selling live cent
water to Albuquerque consumers for thirty ana thlrty-nNe
cents. nor has it asked that such an outrageous burden
should for the benefit of its owners be fastened upon the
CITY for thirtyhve years to come. The Citizen has no
practical acquaintance with water matters, except the
paying of its monthly bills.
Hence. The Citizens statement was not based on fig
ures and estimates" In fact it was not The Citizen
statement at all in the beginning. 1t appeared in an inter
view with Colonel Jastro, a man largely interested in Albu-
ueroue enterprises. and who having established an up
to date water plant in Bakersfield, Cal, in opposition 10
an out of date plant, knew what he was talking about The
practical experience of a man like Colonel Jastro is worth
more than the paid for estimates of any expert.
The water organ, fighting for the interest OF its own
ers, tries to throw doubt on The Citizens statement by
saving ,aat as far as e knows Colonel Jastro never made
the statements ATTRIBUTED to him. If everything the Jour
nal doesn't know is to be considered false there would be
very little truth left in the world. The editor of The
Citizen himself took the interview, himself wrote 1t out
and subsequently submitted the manuscript TO Colonel
Jastro, who approved 1t. He was in the city when it was
nublished. and several of his representatives have been
here since. That the statements OF the interview were
not absolutely accurate, neither Colonel Jastro nor MS
representatives have claimed; but the wafer organ eyl-
IDENTIFY would deny the law and the prophets if thereby
they might secure that deferred payment to the Journal
owners.
Colonel Jastro's statement to be false every time it pub
lished it, it certainly is going very far in its blind and stu
pd fight to unload the Water Supply company worn out
plant on the city.
