TREASONABLE OATHS.

The revelation of the VOW of the,
DoWleties, THAT all family ties and
all obligations and all relations to all
human government shall be held sub
ordinate to this VOW" incites the
Chicago Chronicle to discuss the sub
ject of Reasonable Oaths, and it finds
that the Mormons and some, at least,
of the Labor Unions are bound by
similar oaths. It rightly character
ICES such oath as reasonable; but
it fails to notice what we consider
more .glaring and dangerous applica-
lions of the same principle. For in
stance, Congressman Hardwick, of
Georgia is reported as having declar-
ed in a recent speech that the 18th
and 18th Amendments were put upon
the South by force and military pres
| sure, and OF course the same is true of
the 18th. Hence, this Congressman
argues, that any device to nullify them
is legitimate and praiseworthy. Now
| a reasonable oath is certainly no
more criminal than a reasonable &C
| ton, such as Congressman Hardwick's
| speech. Congressman Hardwick has
| solemnly sworn, in the presence of
many witnesses, to support the en-
! tire Constitution Of the United States
| without exception, and without re-
seryation; yet he can in the most
| public manner declare that he has
no intention of SO doing; and he sup
| ported a man for governor of his state
whose platform is a notification of
( the amendments. Such a man de-
serves the censure of a journal dis
cussing the subject of treason far
more than the secret doings of the
Dowieites the Mormons or the Labor
Unions.

AS a specimen of laughab1e, high
faluting buncombe, we quote the fol
lowing from the Buffalo platform,
issued by the convention which nomi-
mated Hearst for governor: I'VE ask, 2
says the platform, the cooperation
and support of all citizens who feel
that the issue before the country is
no mere struggle for Office or for
advantage between political parties
but a contest for the existence of
Christian civilization and Of democrat
ic government, its last and most
valuable fruit
Now democratic government is
found in its purest and most concen-
trated form in the commonwealth OF
Georgia and, especially, in the city OF
Atlanta; and, of course, the same is
true of Christian civilization. Thus,
we deduce the interesting fact that
Christian civilization consists of muir.

"Ex-Attache," the well-known cor
respondent, writes thus: 1T seems
that we give forth an extremely dis
agreeable odor. BY 1--WE" mean the
white races of America and Europe
According to the japanese, this odor
is not only "piquant," but also iran
cid" The Japanese, like all other
orientals and like our red Indians,
find our perfume offensive, so much
so that when one of the 1ieges of the
mikado resides sufficiently long in
America or Europe to become i'm
pregnated herewith, it is considered
sufficient to exempt him from that
military service which is obligatory
upon every Japanese citizen. In fact
a Jap contaminated by our-well, let
us call it perfumes regarded as
unfit for association with his fellow
countrymen, precisely as if he were
afflicted with, leprosy. 1t is consider
ed unfair that they should be com
PEELED to exist in the same atmos-
phere as one so disagreeably, odori-
ferrous, and not only does the Euro
ton for service in the army and in
the navy of Japan, but it actually, ac-
cording to Japanese law, constitutes a
valid reason for divorce.
THE APPEAL can scarcely con
ceive of the effect that this revela-
ton will have upon the sensibilities
of the white brother. He has already
learned that the "childlike and bland"
oriental has no use for his brand
of religion, and now to learn that to
the nostrils of John Chinaman he is
as offensive as the stock-yards to
the author of the Jungle is a little
too much.

In the North American Review, Col.
Richard Weightmap explains one of
the reasons for the prejudice of the
Chinese against American mission
aries. He says: eve are reminded
that an American citizen resident or
found in non Christian countries,
which have submitted by treaty to the
practice of exterritoriality, must, when
charged with a crime or an offense
against local laws or customs, be tried
not by native court, but by a diplo-
matte or consular representative of
his own government, and if adjudged
guilty, must have his punishment me-
ted out by such officer"
No sensible man can wonder at the
fact that such an institution is ex-
tremely offensive to the Chinese, and
would be to any one else. No country
in Europe would tolerate any such in.
vasion of it's sovereignty for an in.
slant, and no country occupied by
white men is expected to do SO. And
China will, ere long, put an end to the
outrage.

The Arkansas race riots were not
caused by assaults upon white women
by "black brutes," but sprang up in
the following way: A white brute
had cultivated high degree of social
equality with black prostitute. and
imagined he was the monopolist of
her favors. He learned however, in
course of time that his charmer had
a lord of her own race (Which is in
variably the case) who lived very
comfortably upon the money out of
which the black Gree bamboozled her
Anglo-Saxon admirer. About the time
of this discovery all the parties met
in saloon in which the white man
and the black woman were socially
partaking of some refreshments, beer
etc., ETC.; and after short quarrel
between the rival lovers the black
man shot and killed the white man
This occurrence started the mob:

Southern orators and editors have
roared themselves hoarse about the
cerruptions of reconstruction times
and the outrages that were then per-
pretrated; and, in order to guard
against the return of such times, have
invented grand father clauses and xdis-
franehisings constitutions and mis-
ceilaneous lot of other devihry. IN so
doing they of course demoralized them
selves, with the result that corruption
is SO thick and solid all through the
South, that You can cut it with a knife.
Everybody knows the fact that grand

of nearly every southern Legislature,
trying to convict them of boodling,

Notwithstanding the bitter fight
made in this country against the ANAL

steadily on. A member of the Gould

Lafcadio Hearn seems to have been
married to both an Afro-American and

There is an element of wholesome
ness and helpfulness about the Young
Mems Christian Association of which
no community can have too much.
It's influence is to make young men
active, keep them clean of mind and
body and better prepared to do their
share of the work of the world. It's
work is a practical one for the well
fare of the individual and through
the individual it 1eavens the whole
community.
There is no attempt to bend the
mind to creeds and forms. 1t exacts
no subscription to beliefs and asks
only that the member be cleanly in
his habits, in his language and manly
in his conduct. 1t is an organization
of strong, wholesou1ed, energetic
men who take broad view of life
and recognize that being man is
the next best thing to being
churchman; that if they cannot make
all men protesting Christians the
next best thing is to make them act
ing gentlemen. 1t is the finest form
of a social club for young men as
well as considerable factor in ed
ucation.-Denver Republican.

Valuable Resolutions.

The following set of practical meas
ures have been determined upon by
the members of the Civic League of
Ingram, Pa.
We will have no dirty back or
front yards about our homes, and we
will by example and help endeavor
to have our neighbors clean up.
We will plant American hardy
trees, shrubs and vines and grow
clean grass wherever we can and will
help our neighbors to do likewise
We will join cheerfully, as far as
our resources permit, in organized
effort for clean and beautiful streets
and highways and will help any move
ment for parks and Fairgrounds with
which we may come in contact.
We will endeavor to protect trees
from the unthinking attacks of cleo
tric polemen and will not permit the
setting of electric poles on our own
premises except in extreme cases,
and then under the rigid safeguarding
of trees and landscape beauty.
We will oppose the erection or the
continuance of objectionable adver-
tising signs of any kind and will as
sist in their removal by kindly argu-
ment.

WILL TRY POISON
Open Violence Failing, the Terrorists
Will Try Poison.-Trouble Almost
Disrupts the Cabinet, but Peace is
Patched Up.

st. Petersburg, Feb 17.-The i'm
portant arrest of six social revolu-
tionists lavish1y loaded with explo-
sives and bombs who were believed
to be planning an attempt on the
life of Governor General Doubasoff
of Moscow, was made here yesterday
evening just previous to their depar-
ture for Moscow. The police also took
into custody eight terrorists belonging
to another group, at whose residence
was found cyanide of potassium and
other deadly chemicals sufficient it
is said to kill half the population of
ST. Petersburg, and thousands of re-
evolutionary proclamations. 1t is sus-
pected that the terrorists failing to
reach prominent persons here by op-
en- violence, are about to try the more
subtle means of poison.
Temporary Peace Patched Up.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-Tempora-
ry peace has been patched up be-
tween Premier Wittee and Interior
Minister Durnove, and disruption of
the cabinet has been averted at the
moment when the strain was appar-
entity at the breaking point. The lat
est development was due to the di-
rect Intervention of the Emperor,
who insisted that both men should re
main in the cabinet. The agreement,
however. rests only upon the perso-
nal influence of the Emperor, who
is none too stable. The Premier's de-
sire for relaxation of repressive mea-
sures is understood to have prevail
ed for the present, but the Durnovo
and Ignatieff forces are unwilling to
accept their defeat as permanent,
and they still have a mighty infiu-
ence at court.
