THE CHINESE MUST STAY OUT.

II every American could visit China.
saws William J. Bryan, in Success Mag
azine. the question of Chinese immigra-
ton would soon be settled upon per-
manent basis, for no one can become
acquainted with the Chinese cOolie
without recognizing the impossibility
OF opening the doors OF our country TO
him without Injustice 20 our own labor
ing men. decentralization to our social
ideas. injury to China's reputation
among US. and danger 10 our dipIo-
matte relations with that country.
I made it a point 70 inquire among
the Chinese whom I met. in order to
ascertain the real sentiment back OF the
boycott I heard of students being sub
jected to harsh regulations at ports of
entry. of travellers Inundated by con-
finement in uncomfortable sheds, and of
merchants treated rudely. and I sup
posed that these things had aroused
sentiment. 1 found. however, that the
things complained OF were more diff
fcult to deal with and the concessions
demanded impossible to grant. In or
der 10 understand the boycott one must
know something of Chinese history As
China has never had representative
government the people have been COM
PEELED TO bring their complaints before
officials by petition. and. when the pc
tition has been ignored. they have been
accustomed to bring such pressure to
bear as was within their power, and
the boycott has often been resorted TO
as a means of compelling action upon
the part of officials. They therefore.
conceived the idea of a boycott against
American goods, for the double purpose
Of urging their own government TO
favorable action and of calling the at
tention of the American Government to
their complaint. Our officials are doing
what they can to convince the Chinese
government of the injustice and folly
of the boycott, and the Chinese officials
with whom / have conversed seemed
anxious TO cooperate with our minister
and ccnsuls- Immediate action upon the
part of our Congress. whether favora BILE
or uafaVorabie 10 the Chinese, will re-
move the excuse for a boycott and our
Government should not be Influenced in
its action by any threats affecting
trade, for the subject Is too grave to
be determined By commercial consider
ations.

Judged by the extracts from

Judged by the extracts from it, it was a good speech that President AL derman, of the University of Virginia, made Saturday night, before the New England Society of New York, on "Sectionalism and Nationality He made a fine defence of the doctrine of States rights, and it is observed with interest that he puts the same interpretation upon the recent speech of Secretary Root that it bears to the minds of many other thinkers: that it was "a prophecy and a warn ing rather than a plea for centraliZa tion." Dr. Alderman spoke well and did no more than justice to his own people when he said:
 Il dare to say here tonight that the people of the south are handling the problem of the African, which has both married and moulded the nation- al development for three hundred years, as wisely as any people on earth could hope to do in the first generation of African freedom and ill time of human foment and struggle in all lands. Faithful men are at work, and will continue at work, to the end that the quality and breed of our race shall not be allowed to de- teriorate and the quality of justice be allowed to become cheapened Upon the south rests the burden of the Af- rican and the problem of the integrity of the race, as upon New England and her breed rests the burden of as- similating the discontented and des- pairing of all lands''
 The speech could not have been offensive to New Englanders and it had the even greater merit that it was not apologetic.

PINE BLUFFS HOLIDAY TRADE.

That the merchants and business men of Pine Bluff enjoyed the biggest holiday business this season they ev CT had was amply attested by the in- terviews with a number of them pub lished in last weeks Graphics. Those merchants merely for the purpose of boasting, but were statements sus- tained b.. facts and figures, and they do not hesitate to produce them. The holiday trade has been phenomenal, and one of the most striking features of this unusual business is that the a very different class of merchandise to that formerly boHshe. T. ha. been of finer and higher cl?ss of mefchar disc. The dry goods men say that their silks and other finer dress goods were the first in that depart ment of their stocks to be exhausted. Dealers in pianos say they never le- fore experienced such demand, es- pecially for the finer and bette: makes of instruments. The dealers in 6ric- a-brac say that the demand this sea- son was for a decidedly beites class |of goods, and that the sale heretofore has been for those articles cC.;ling $1 and less, while for this season the demand was for articles costing s! and oyer. This season there has ben 2 great demand for ladies reAdy-to- wear costumes and for the better class of these garments. There has been a demand for the best in aye-y line
 All this goes to show that Pine Bluff has merged from the ways and customs of country town into those of a city. It is the strongest evidence
 that can be had that Pine Bluff is no
 longer an oyersrown country place,
 but is a city, and is adjusting itself
 to city ways. The people no longer desire those things which are so char
 acteristic of the village or the conn 1 try town. but they want those things which distinguish the city from the
 country place, and they buy those
 things which are bought by the peo- | pie of the city.

entering there that shippers at Pine Bluff will oe allowed to continue con-
 centrating cotton at that point. Dr. J. L. Caldwell, secretay of the Pine
 Bluff Board of Trade, and five or six
 interested shippers, were present and
 urged the adoption of the fiat rate.
 Little Rock business interests were represented for the purpose of protest
 ing against the introduction of a flat rate, claiming that the state at large would suffer, inasmuch as flat rate would endanger the concentra- tiOn rates, which, it was stated, have built up the cotton shipping business of Little Rock. The commission de-
 clined to grant the application made by the Pine Bluff people on the ground that it does not possess the power to name a flat rate into Pine Bluff to the exclusion of other points in the state, and furher that the flat rate that would apply to the state, did not seem to be expedient."
 The above is entirely misleading and does not correctly report the proceed ings of the Railroad Commission. Pine
 Bluff has for years had from the rail- roads what is known in commercial circles as a concentration rate. This rate was revoked and dscon- tinued by the railroads issuing an or der that because of the congested
 condition of cotton in Pine Bluff no cotton from below Camden on the Cot
 ton Belt, or from below McGhee on the Missouri Pacific road should be billed thus placing our merchants at great
 disadvantage, as their trade extended far beyond both of those points, and it
 was by cotton that they expected their
 patrons to meet their obligations. Our
 Board of Trade, through it's able sec-
 retary, Dr. Caldwell, took the matter ing as measure of relief, that the
 railroad companys be required to give Pine Bluff fiat rate on cotton to
 
 remove in some measure the hardship
 caused by the abolition of the "con- centration rate.'' The commission set yesterday, the 18th, to hear the appli-
 eaton of our merchants. Before that
 date, however, the railroads restored the "concentration rate, and when l thp commission met VeSterdaV of course, there was mo case before the
 court as Dr. Caldwell had already accomplished the desired object, and l that is all there was to it. The commission did not "decline to grant the application made by the Pine Bluff people, as< stated by the Gazette, as
 there was no application from Pine Bluff before the commission.
