THE PUBhkC fkANAANU
 In The Advertiser of Wednesday there was a special from Washington relating to the demand for the resis- nation of the Public Printer. w. F. Palmer and the probable appointment of oscar J. Ricketts to the position VT that department of our Government The Philadelphia Record has this to say:
 ror persons who are infatuated with the idea of public ownership the GOV l ernment Printing Office Tn WasnihSa9,n n ought to be an interesting stndy; rms ms concern pays the highest wages TOT the | least work It Is infested with cabals, graft and jobbery. It is so expensive l that Congressmen who can get tneit speeches printed there at cost, pius Io per cent. economize by having the work done in job offices, where prices have to cover rent and interest on cap- 1 ital and profits and yet are much lower than .hop nSss fl the the eoss in tSs pabc establishment can be Kept down to double those of private shop 1t is felt to be marvel of economy and emcient administration. At its head Is a man nearly so years old, of impaired ener- gies, whose appointment was due pure iy to political pull, and the stan is now divided into two hostile camps,
 
 manufacturers of typesetttng ma chine.
 That last sentence explains the 'in- subordination" charged against Rick etts. He was interested in one kind of typesitting machine and Palmer in an- other The latter contracted for sev- enty-two of the Lanston machines. costing in the aggregate $25o,ooo. and signed the contract after office hours in presence only of the agent for the ma chine and one clerk. lady who owned 100 shares of stock in the favored company. Ricketts kicked because the company in which he was interested was silghted and consequently he got no rake-on. The fact seems to be that the entire department from head to foot, is rotten, and it is doubtful if the removal of Palmer and appointment of Ricketts will help matters much. It Is about on a level with some other branches Of the administration.

"A. America" which includes North and South America, Is credited with 2f2,a29, while our census for 1900 gave the numper of Chinese in this coun try as 106,e5a, or by way of compar- ison. about equal in number to our Mexican, Swiss, or Dutch immigrants, of whom we seldom hear anything whatever. The New York Sun. in com menting on this distribution of Chi nese emigrants. calls attention to the fact that in Formosa, where the Japa- nese are making so magnificent a suc- cess as colonial administrators, the Chinese element constitute S5 per cent of the population-largely imaginary or of our own making-over S0,000 Chinese residents In the Ph.4.ppines. We seem. in fact. to be the only peo- pie that cannot get along well and in mutually profitable relations with the economic and wonderful thrifty Chinese.

Russia's Domestieity.

 It will be most interesting to observe whether the Russian people will now get greater liberties or stronger and more skillful application of the mailed fist of autocracy. A vigorous prosecu- ton of either policy will put Russia In shape to regain what she has lost to Japan. and history shows that the bear returns again and again if necessary to that which 1t has once seized.

TURNS IT DOWN.
Legislature Refuses to Ask Bur-
ton to Resign.
Resolutions in Both Houses Go
to Committees.
Gag Rule Is Used on Cyrus
Leland.

The Leland resolution calling for the
resignation of Senator J. R. Burton.
which was introduced in the house
Monday afternoon and in the senate at
the same time by Senator Gilbert, was
promptly smothered without debate
this morning.
In the house Mr.. Leland made a fight
to have the matter referred to the ju-
dietary committee, of which he is a
member, and promised to present to
that committee some new and startling
information concerning Burton's af-
fairs. But the house members had
been carefully posted to turn down
anything Leland wanted, and the reso-
luton was sent to the committee on
state affairs, where it will doubtless be
stuck into a pigeon hole and nailed up.
I'VE don't want to open up this Bur
ton business" exclaimed Mr.. Brandon
of Butler after Mr.. Leland had made
his request that the matter go to the
judiciary committee. Mr.. Brandon
therefore moved the previous question
to prevent any more unpleasant re-
marks by Me. Leland, calculated to
open old sores on the boss buster body
politic.''
A similar programme was carried out
in the senate, where the reso ution was
sent to the committee on state affairs
without debate
The following is the Burton resolu-
ton which was introduced in beth
house and senate, and which now has
been inferred in the catacounbs OF the
committee on state affairs:
Whereas, Under section 3, article /,
of the constitution of the United states,
the state of kansas is entitled to two
senators, to represent it in the senate
Of the United States, and
Whereas, The senior senator from
this state. by reason of alleged fraud
and peculation, in office, has for more
than one year absented himself from
the senate-and Kansas during that
time has had but one senator, and
Whereas, The said senior senator
was convicted in the United States dis
trict court of Missouri. for such alleged
frauds and pecu1ations, and
Whereas. The supreme court Of the
United States has reversed such con-
yiction upon the ground that the al
legged offense was committed in the
District of Columbia and not in the
state of Missouri, and orders new
trial, and
whereas, Such decision necessarily
deprives the senior senator of all use
fulness, as a representative of the
state of Kansas, in the United States
senate; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the house, the senate
concurring, That J. Ralph Burton be
and he is hereby requested to forthwith
resign as such United States senator.
Resolved, That a certified copy of
this resolution be forwarded to ].
Ralph Burton, Washington, D. c."
