Truth About tho Chinesu.

II every American could visit China
the question of Chinese immigration
would soon be settled upon a perma'
nent basis. for no one can become ac-
Quainted with the Chinese coolie with
out recognizing the impossibility OF
0pening the doors Of our country to
him without injustice to our own Ia
boring men. Decentralization to our So
eial ideas. injury TO China's reputation
among us, and danger to our diplo
matte relations with that country.
says William ]. Bryan, in Success
Magazine.
I made 1t . paint to inquire among
che Chinese whom met, in order to
ascertain the real sentiment back OF
the boycott. had heard of students
being subjected to harsh regulations
ct ports of entry, of travellers humili'
ated by confinement in uncomfortable
sheds, and Of merchants treated rude
~, and l supposed that these things
had aroused the resentment l found.
however, that the things complained
Of were more difficult to deal with
and the concessions demanded impos-
sible to grant. In order to understand
the boycott one must know something
Of Chinese history. As China has
never had representative government
the people have been compelled TO
bring their complaints before ofieials
by petition; and, where the petition
has been ignored, they have been &C.
customed to bring such pressure to
bear as was within their power. and
the boycott has often been resorted to
as q means of compelling action upon
the part Of officials. They, therefore,
conceived the idea Of boycott against
American goods for the double pur-
pose Of urging their own government
to favorable action and Of calling the
attention 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 CHI
nese officials with whom I conversed
seemed anxious to cooperate with our
minister aud consuls. Immediate &C.
ton upon the part Of our congress-.
whether favorable or unfavorable to
the Chinese, will remove 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
bv commercial considerations.

diminished Offenders.

There are things which to sensitive
souls constitute disturbance OF the
peace, and yet for which there is no ade-
quate punishment prescribed by law
very truly observes writer In the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. A man in
short coat and silk hat is an offense or
this kind, and a fat woman in rainy
day" skirt and peek-a-boo waist Is an
other. There are legions of them. They
offend the artistic sense, and mar the
face OF nature. Now and then some
aesthetic person, made desperate by
these abuses, takes the law into his own
hands and inflicts punishment, usually
ct severe cost to himself. For instance,
Il the man who stabbed Thomas Reed
for playing guitar in an undertaking
establishment is caught, he may be sent
to the penitentiary. Such Is the in]us-
tice of our laws. What Is needed Is a
corps of armed censors of things in gen.
eral, something between police and
humane society force, and vested with
authority to arrest offenders against
good taste. A special court for the trial
of such offenders could be provided, and
the keepers Of r-.ochanical musical in
st,,ments = s11e street-car whistlers'
platform CHI bumps and persons who talk
at the play et al. could have justice
neted out to them. AS long as such Of
tenders are left UNPUBLISHED by law. SO
long will there be unexplained" muir
ders and assaults, for they "get on the
nerves" of people who have artistic
sensibilities, and these people become
aroused to desperate deeds, bravins
even martyrdom for the holy cause Of
good taste. The world would welcome
such department of justice as we have
suggested, IL some one would take thu
initiative to secure the proper legisla
ton. Here is the opportunity for SOM
ambitious reformer to endear himself tt
the masses and make Folk, Hadley an,
Jerome to pale their inefectual fire
In the bright light Of his genius.

One of the largest retail tobacco deal
ers in the United States says that the
consumption of chewing tobacco has in
creased almost so per cent. in five years.
He attributes this increase to the auto
mobile, because it is impossible to enjoy
a cigar or pipe while whizzing along in
a motor car. There is also danger OF
sparks or ashes from the lighted cigar Or
pipe getting into the eyes.
