The Democratic primaries in Massachu-
sets resulted in a majority favorable to
the nomination of District Attorney John
B. Moran of Boston.
The result of the primary elections in
New Jersey was a complete triumph of
the regular Republican organization over
the reform or new faction.
The Democrats Of Hawaii AVE nom
mated for congressional delegate E. B.
Lanahan of Honolulu. He is the first
white man to be named for office in the
history of the island.
Thomas Bentham, a member of the
miners union and an influential leader
of organized labor in Ohio, was named by
the Democrats at Cincinnati to oppose
Nicholas Longworth, the son-in-law Of
the President, for Congress.
Tn city of Philadelphia has had the
remarkable experience of a reform Mayor
suddenly turning upon the reform organi-
cation known as the city party, because
of its failur to nominate for district at
torney the man whom he favored.
An indication of the importance wifi
which Socialism is regarded in Colorado
during the present campaign is the ac-
ceptance of United States Senator
Thomas NJ. Patterson of the challenge to
meet Walter 7. Mills in debate. The
Socialists are making a most determined
effort to enlist the entire forces of or
ganized labor in favor of their candidate.
In many counties of Texas Democrats
have circulated petitions for conventions
to instruct legislators against the ~re-elec-
ton of United States Senator Bailey, be-
cause of the disclosures in the Missouri
custer proceedings concerning his alleged
connection with the Standard Oil Com
pany. Senator Bailey has given out a
statement in his own defense. In this he
says the sam kind of fight was made
on him six years ago. lie declares that
if a man in public office has no right to
pursue his private business such a doc
trine would confue the public life OF this
country to only rich men or rascals."

lowed under Order No. rs, allowing old
age pensions.
Since the beginning of the Civil War
there have been granted by special acts
of Congress 1928 pensions, and an in
crease of pensions of which 10,417 are
now on the rolls, with an annual value
of $2~,937,620. During the last session of
Congress 3,5O7 special acts were passed.
The report shows that in the entire
history of the country the total expendi-
ture on account of pensions has been
$3,459,S60,311, of which only $96,445,444
had been paid prior to the beginning of
the Civil War. OF the total $3,259, 1885,
BOG was on account of the Civil War.
The total payment of pensions on ac-
count of the Spanish war reaches S15,-
43S,555 up to date.
The disbursements for navy pensions
during the year were $4,204,OO4 and the
income from the navy pension fund avail
able for the payment of pensions was
$363,61S, or less than 9 per cent of the
amount required for the payment of navy
pensions. Since 1870 this fund has been
inadequate to pay navy pensions, and the
deficiency has been provided for out OF
the public funds by congressional appro-
priations.

CHINA TO THE FORE.
More than Any Other
Eastern Nation in Five Years.

Advanced More than Any Other
Eastern Nation in Five Years.
No eastern nation, not even excepting
Japan, has made greater advances toward
western civilization than has China dur
ing the past five years. \ recent imperial
decree makes some mastery of western
learning incumbent on those who hold
office. More than 5000 schools have been
established to enable the youths of the
lund to comply with this decree. This
creates 4 strong demand for American
teachers. Eleven thousand Chinese stu
dents are now in Toxic striving to obtain
from the government institutions and
schools the western learning. At least
1000 or 5000 of these students would
have come to America to study had it not
been for our immigration laws. Another
sign of the times is in the increase in
postoilices and the multiplication of news
papers Four years ago there were only
100 postoffices; to-day there are $500.
In the city of Tien-Tsin four years ago
there were three newspapers. To-day
there are %. An imperial decree has for
hidden parents to bind the feet of their
girl babies. The New Testament has been
ordered into all the schools of at least
one large province, thus putting Christian
lty within reach of at least 5 $1,000 900
persons. A recent royal decree makes the
Christian Sabbath a holiday. The only
danger now in sight is from the reaction
which may follow these tremendous
changes in the policy of the government.

Earnings to Home Banks.
Millions of dollars in American gold

OF Italy by temporary Italian residents of
the United States. This is news that
his just reached the government, along
with a statement from the general COM
missioner of immigration at Rome that
ihe total immigration to the States from

100000 mark.
The idea of most Italian emierants.
says the immigration commissioner. is to
accumulate something like a fortune in
the States and return with it to Italy.
The intimacy of the home connection is
shown by the exhibit of the Bank of Ma

OF business as its speciality, has more than
$4,000 accounts opened by Italian emf
grants in the United States and placed to
their credit during the fiscal year Just
closed more than $5OO,00O.
During the same period Italians in

OI-Winthrop Governor.

In spite of her shortcomings and of
the revolutionary methods which have
produced anarchy on the island, Cuba
is to be saved from herself. An Amer
lean provisional government has been
proclaimed by Secretary Taft to take
the place of that which ceased to exist
when the Cuban Congress failed to
choose successors to President Palma
and the Vice President, Mcudez Capotc,
both of whose ~resignatins were tender
ed to the Congress. Previously the res
ignatiOnS of the members of the cahi-
net had been accepted by President
Palma, so that Cuba found herself with
out Il government.
Secretary Taft thus became by proc

CLAM CRAZY.
Minnesota Men GrubhinE for Pearls

in Local Waters.
Many Of the prominent citizens of Red
Wing, Mimi, have turned clam fishers.
1t is claimed that during the last year
seven different clam fishers found pearls
ranging in value from $1,000 to 500, 600
and hundreds of the diggers and sorters
have discovered jewels worth respectable
sums. Clam digging is as hard an occu-
patton as is possible to conceive and can
only be withstood by the stoutest of men.
Several months ago a poor digger found
a pearl worth presumably 100000 and
several other discoveries followed in the
same bed. The natural result was that
hundreds of the people from the surround
ing country rushed to the scene of the
finds and many ~well-known people donned
the rough diggers' outfit and gathered in
the shells which possibly might bring a
fortune to them. A few had good sue
cess, but the majority found that their
quest was useless and soon gave up the
task.
