 ANOTHER SIDE.

There are usually at least two sides to a story. A correspondent of the London Standard, writing from Johan- nesberg, gives an optimistic account of the Chinese and native labor situa- tion on the Rand. According to him, at the end of August there were 100, 900 natives and 44,600 Chinese employed in the gold mines, and application had been made for 12,600 more Chinese, and 5000 natives, the latter not being pro- curable, The amount of white labor at the end of May, 1904, was 3,127 at the end of August, 1905. it was 17,429. The general revenue, railroad, customs, and receipts from coal and explosives show large and continued increase he says. since the arrival of the Chinese. The Chinese as workers are fully equal to the natives, he declares. and superior to them in physique; the mortality among them is under 20 per thousand, and SlcknesS under $ per cent, while cflme is extraordinarily low, compared with that of other nationalities; 90 per cent. of the convictions being for technical offences under the Chinese labor ordi- nance. He denies that there is any state of terror on the Rand. The vast
 majority of the Chinese coolies, he says, are lawabidiHg, inoffensive, and thor oughly contented. The crimes of vio- lence committed by them, he adds, have been very few, and would not

The Salvation Army is making much progress in Germany under the leader ship of Commander Oliphants who, the Frankfurter Zeitung declares, is al- most as interesting a character as General Booth. He is tall and lean, has very high forehead, bushy eye brows, and long black beard.

Major Seaman, who has made so much of Japanese war sanitation as an example for America, compares particularly the careful Japanese me;h- ods with the act of General Otis at Manila, who objected to a cablegran of his chief surgeon asking for addi- tionaI medical officers and nurses be- cause such request would indicate that the situation was not "well in hand.' as claimed.

The dean of the Russian cathedral in New York, Rev. A. Hotovitsky, has written letter to the (Methodist) Christian Advocate of that city. He says that Rev. pr. William P George has fallen into error in asserting that Russians do not understand the an- cient Slavonic used in the public ser- vices of their church. With the excep- stion of a few expressions Host for liy- ing use" that all-even the school chil- dren--well understand it, he says, since it is the original of the language they speak. The dean continues: 'The chief rule of the Eastern church is to say the divine services in the language of
 the people for whom the services are in-
 tended; in Japan we celebrate and preach in Japanese, in China in Chin ese, in Alaska in the native tongue of the Aleutians and in some churches in America in English, always according Ito the needs and understanding of the Econgregation. Russians do not under stand Greek, and Greeks do not under stand the Russian; so in Greek
 church you never hear one word of the
 Slovenian tongue, and vice versa; yet Sboth are of the same Eastern Catholic confession.

What the Milbourne (Australia) pa- lpers call a Gilbertian situation was re- gently created in that city by the tel ephone girls of the central exchange. They suspended all telephone. work in the busiest hour of the day in order to have themselves photographed in a group They were allowed five min utes for the purpose by the head of the department, but the operation lasted for nearly half an hour, during which numerous fussy subscribers were ring ing in vain. The Metropolitan Fire Brigade, failing to get any response, dashed at full speed to the exchange and retired disgusted on learning the true state of affairs. The Melbourne papers are flooded with letters calling for the abolition of the lady telephonist. A board is inquiring into the incident.

HOW THE GROWERS
OF THE WEED ARE
FIGHTING BUYERS.

The most important development
in the dark tobacco situation in the
State during the past week, and one
OF interest to every farmer, Is the
action taken by the tobacco growers
of Davless county, for the benefit of
themselves aud the growers OF sur
rounding counties This action was
taken at meeting of 450 farmers of
Dsviess county at Owensboro Saturday
when 1t was decided that the much
proposed warehouse system would be
the firm foundatl on on which they
would handle their own tobacco pro-
duct and endeavor to secure better
prices. This plan will be put into
operation this morning, when Turpin
u Wood backed by Louisville capital
lists, Will open their factory at Owens
horo, make the necessary advance of
81 hundred pounds on tobacco, and
prepare the weed for the market The
warehouses opened b. Turpin Il Wood
will not be restricted to the use of
members of the American Society OF
equity nor to the tobacco growers of
Daviess county.
The meeting was the largest and
most enthusiastic ever held in Da-
vless county, thirty-three local unions
of the A s. of E being represented
Things were done in q business man
ner that should encourage all farmers
and put their faith N the American

WHAT TRUST DON'T LIKE.

There are no new developments in
the tobacco situation in Brecl lridge
county. The hun1reds of grow ers in the
county are holding their tobacco for
three eights with the determination tG
get that trice just as they were three
months ago. They are organizing
more thoroughly and extensively than
ever before and they are more conf
dent than ever that victory will De
their reward In the ent. They re not
ouly realizing how great their strength
is becoming through cooperation but
they are realizing tnat the trust is
very much aware of their growing
power. They behave it is not so mnch
a matter of few cents more tnat
Keeps the trust from paying them eigL
cents round for their tot acco that
cuts, but the idea that, in so doing, it
would virtually acknowledge the su.
perior power of the farmers IN the
fight And this, of course, makes the
fight all the more interesting.
