THE NEW CHRISTIAN ERA.

 We have been hearing and singing

 wrong?

 But it's too slow for the age that

"CIILD SLAVES OF NEW YORK" :"
 MT. Charles ID. Blaney's name has be- come a household word through his connection of presenting to the public plays of merit, realism and interesting features. His most successful work, which has met with the approval of the theatergoing public is that of "The Child Slaves of New York" which will be presented at the New Haven thea ter for three nights and Saturday mat inee, commencing Thursday night, De- cember 2S. The play is full of the many actual and thrilling events that go to make New York the metropolis of the New World. In constructing this meao- drama MT. Blaney has spared neither time nor money, and has surrounded the play with a company of artists who are fully able and capable of bringing out the many exciting and amusing features which are called for.
 Throughout the prologue and four acts the play is full of action and a(b- sorbing interest, and never for mo- nent does the story lag, but on the other hand, from the rise to the fall of the curtain, 1t fairly overlows with thrilling and aife-like situations, into which enough sensationalism has been woven to satisfy the most exacting critics of the modern melodrama.

THE COURT HOUSE pBoR1rm.

1t is conceded on all hands that Doug
las county has outgrown its court house.
For years the structure has been ut
terly inadequate to accommodate the
judicial and administrative branches of
county government.
The problem that confronts the Board
Of County Commissioners is perplexing.
From the architectural point of view
the Douglas county court house is al
most faultless in its exterior design, but
owing to its elevation by reason OF the
heavy grade ON Farnam street its in
terror is difficult of access, and owing to
its peculiar construction deficient in
light and ventilation. On the other
hand, the building is absolutely fire.
proof and the walls are just as sound
as when first erected. Tersely expressed,
the court house appears too good to be
pulled down and not good enough to be
dOvetailed into a modern twentieth cen
tury public building.
1t is almost a foregone conclusion that
the city governments of Omaha and
South Omaha and the government of
Douglas county will in the no very dis
tant future be merged, and eventually
ten miles square under the name of the
City and County of Omaha. A public
building adequate for the accommoda-
ton of all departments of municipal and
county governments will involve an out
lay of not less than $1,OOOOOO and pos
sibly $1,5OO,0OO. At 4 per cent that
would mean an annual tax levy to meet
interest of from $4,000 to 100000, and
at least $4,000 more for the mainte-
nance of the building, namely, for jani-
tors, elevator service, light and heat
Manifestly this will be great under
taking that cannot be rushed The
court house Of the future should be
planned with view to the future
growth of Omaha and Douglas county.
A structure, covering the entire court
house square, could be erected in sec
tions, leaving the present court house to
be demolished after the Harney street
front and the east and west fronts have
been completed. That would enable the
county to utilize the present court house
until the new quarters are completed
and eventually the building materials in
the present court house could be dis
posed of to the best advantage.
As preliminary measure the Board
Of County Commissioners might invite
architects to submit outline sketches of
the new court house with such plans rs
would enable the board to secure a re-
liable estimate of the cost Of eonstruc-
ton. Such an estimate would neees-
sarily have to precede the submission OF
any proposition for a court house bond
issue.
In the meantime. it seems to us, the
commissioners will be justified in max.
ing the present court house more acces-
sible to the public and habitable for the
officials that are located therein. With
this end in view, it may be necessary to
tunnel the approach to the building and
TO erect elevators under the dome Such
a plan might involve the abandonment
OF part Of the basement which IN real
ity never was intended TO be used for
office purposes.
In view Of the pending consultations

NOT WHOLLY SATISFACTORY.


The correspondent of an eastern paper
reports a member of the Chinese en-
bassy at Washington as saying that the
order Of President Roosevelt to the i'm
migration authorities in regard to the
enforcement of the exclusion act is not
entirely satisfactory to the Chinese gov
ernment, that it does not answer the
complaints Of that government in any
respect and will have no influence on the
campaign against American merchants
that is being waged In the empire. This
representative of China stated that his
government is seeking something more
than polite treatment from the officials Of
our immigration service and that while
the presidents order is gratifying to
Chinese officials II is not regarded by
them as touching the root of the COM
plaint. "It is the overriding of our treaty
rights to which China objects" he said
'That is the chief complaint we have
against the United States. China is TAX
not calmly submit to the course of the
United States. Evidence is being Sc
cured by Chinese consuls all over the
country which is to be used as the basis
Of claims for damages against this gov
ernment" He said that the boycott
against American goods will not be
called off because of President Roose-
velt's order.
An authoritative statement of this kind
regarding the position of the Chinese
government and the merchants of that
empire should command the serious at
tention of all who take any interest in
our commercial relations with the Chi
nese empire. We recently noted report
to the Department of State that there
had been a check to the movement in
China for the boycotting of American
goods. Later advices indicate that such
has not been the case and the statement
of the member of the Chinese embassy
at Washington is anything but reassur-
ing. What he is reported to have said
shows that the issue has not been settled
by the order Of President Roosevelt and
implies that nothing short of a new
treaty, more liberal in its terms than the
one which lapsed last year, will satisfy
the Chinese government. There is pre-
sented in this a matter of vital import
ance to our Asiatic trade, the determina-
ton of which will decide whether the
United States is to have a fair share Of
that trade or to be entirely shut out
from IL,
