DENSE IGNORANCE.
Truly, the American people

Truly, the American people
possess patience in great measure,
else we should now and then
hear of some illustrious foreigner
being treated to a supreme
roast for the freedom with
which they criticise the Ameri-
cans and American institutions.
1t is quite an everyday matter
for men of prominence in old
world affairs to visit our shores,
spend a month or two in some
OF our most populous cities, and
return home to write scathing
and abusive articles on us and
our shortcomings.
Some 90 not possess the court
esy to wait until they have de-
parted and ceased to partake of
our hospitality ere they begin
their denunciations.
Among the latest to stoop to
this practice is Maxim Gorsky.
This Russian, the Americans are
fair-minded enough to recognize
as an able writer. They also
grant that he is patriotic and
that his prime object in coming
to the United States was in the
hope that he might accomplish
something for the benefit of his
countrymen. In our minds we
treated him fairly.
Be it remembered that when
he first touched foot to American
soil he gave glowing accounts of

his impression OF US and our
great republic. Our manners
and our institutions were eulogi-
zed in glowing terms. Bear in
mind that Gorsky was not forget
full of the Statute of Liberty and
told oe all it suggested to him as
he passed by on board a ship
bearing him to the land of the
free.
But Gorsky in all his greatness
came upon Yankee soil with an
atmosphere wholly his own
wrapped about him-an atmos-
phere Of a moral nature that
closed one door after another in
his face. He had with him a
woman whom he introduced as
his wife, but who was not en-
titled to be thus digniied. Per
haps on this account more than
any other his trip to the United
States resulted in dismal failure
or worse. Now he is writing
unfavorable criticisms of US. In
a recent article he appears to
have forgotten his first sensation
on beholding the Statute of Lib
erty, for he refers to it as the
torch of the dollar instead of
the torch of freedom
It seems that in nothing about
us nor our institutions can he
now find anything to commend.
He saw a little of New York City
and in his ignorance fanc;es that
he has knowledge of all we are
or may ever hope to be, as well
as everything we possess. Nat
urally, coming from such a land
as Gorsky does we could not ex-
pect him to be in sympathy with
our ideas, but we have a right
to expect that he deal fairly with
us.
The greater part of what he
has contributed to American
magazines of his observations of
our shortcomings is founded in
error and is a colossal display of
ignorance. When Charles Dick
ems, the great English writer,
paid his first visit to this country
he gathered many wrong impress
sions of America and Americans
which he used freely in his writ
ings for years, in fact, until the
occasion of his second visit. He
then saw us more nearly as we
are and was man enough toapolo-
gize for the unkind things he
had said of us. Will some power
dispel the ignorance of Gorsky
and will he prove possessed of
sufficient manhood to do us JUS
tice? It is doubtful.

PEOPLE RULE.

After all the people, the COM
m n people are the power behind
the throne in this great western
country. A good, healthy senti-
ment backed by the necessary
amount of might" comes very
nearly making right according to
western ideas. An incident
which occurred twenty-one years
ago in Humboldt county, Califor-
MA, bears evidence to the power
of the people when they take a
stand.
In Eureka, the County seat of
Humboldt, there was until 1886
quite Chinese population. They
occupied a section of the city and
their quarters were known as is
usual by the name of China
town" The .chinks' were
eternally at war among them
selves, but what the English
speaking laboring people disliked
more than anything was the fact
that they competed in the fields
of labor with the result that
wages were lowered. The aver
age American appears to have
inherited a dislike for China
man and nowhere was the feeling
of antipathy more in evidence
than in Humboldt in 1885.
However, nothing was done
against the Chinese until the ce-
lestials in one Of their highbind-
ing raids shot and killed one
David Kendall, a man generally
beloved by the people of his
county. This act was as a
match applied to powder. The
people arose in a body and scour-
ed the county from corner to cor
ner for Cinnamon. The latter
were placed on boats and deport-
ed. To the credit of the people
it must he stated that no violence
was done the Chinese. They
were simply sent from the coun-
ty and told never to return.
The will of the people was
o5eyed until this fall when the
Eureka Chamber of Commerce
granted salmon cannery on Eel
River the privilege to work china
men during the fishing season.
This was an open defiance and vio-
lation Of the will of the laboring
people after an observance of
more than twenty years and ac-
cording to last reports there was
much feeling in Humboldt over
the matter. One thing is certain
and that is that the "chinks'
will go when the salmon are can
ned, if not sooner.

Education AS Investment.

Mr.. II, G., Stearnes, superintendent OF
schools for Roanoke county, states that
this year the county will receive for cd
vocational purposes from the State se,o75.
and from local leyies about $1,000. maxi
ing more than $4,000 In all. This will
mean. says he. tho increase of over
sky per cent. in TEACHERS salaries. or
an average salary Of $40 per session In
the rural districts. 1t Is significant and
inspiring that although the State appro-
priatinn will be considerably Increased
tho county OF Roanoke is raising by
local levy nearly twice MS much money
for school purposes as the entire appro-
priation from tho State amounts to.
But here is greater encouragement. Tho
levy Gin the Salem district, Is only thirty
cents on tile hundred dollars. although
1t supports a standard high school which
has been OF great benefit to the whole
county, "sixteen years ago" says SUI
perIntendent Stearnea Salem began
10 tax herself at the rate OF forty. and
fo,ty,five cents for schools, Now she
is able to reduce her tax, Her increased
wealth has been brought about very
largely b. her schools There Is a good
demand for suburban and country hoine.s
