The view of the japanese question
held in California was presented with
great clearness and emphasis by Con-
gresham Kahn OF the state i'm his ad-
dress before the MiddleseX Club one
evening recently. At this distance
from the scene OF the difficulty it is
hard to understand the exact grounds
of popular disturbance, but reason
ably distinct idea is conveyed in the
statement by Mr. Kahn.
There Is no antagOnism in Califor-

men, bankers, merchants. 1t is the

numbers for some years past. the

The simmer Of silk in a laundry
basket, apparently filled with sOiled
linen, attracted the eye of a customs
official recently. It also started an in
vestigation into the unloading of the
steamship Wiulfredan, which has re-
vealed one Of the cleverest smuggling
plots in the history Of the port Of
Boston.
A casual glance into the basket was
responsible for the revelation. Ordinar-
lily the laundry baskets pass the GUS
toms officers without inspection, are

bit of careless in packing the scheme

The Molloy Probe.

To Editor of Journal and Courier:
 It seems to me that Alderman Thos. F. Molloy knows something of the ''in- side workings of the tax office and should be encouraged in his project,
 The writer had an experience with a prominent tax assessor about two years ago when he remonstrated against the high taxes of his home and called his attention to some of the factories which seemed to be favored against the com mon taxpayer, ie., the taxpayer who merely owns home. I was told that the factories are doing good to the city" and could not make any compar- ison between private property and fac- tory property. Is the taxing of proper ty to be left to the sentiment of the taxpayers?
 also wish to ask another question, ie., why not abolish the Board of Re- lief? The tax assessors might be ap- pealed to directly, as they determine the value irrespective of the opinion of the, Board of Relief

The American proposition at the Peace Conference for the arbitration of disputes is as follows:
 Article 1. The Permanent Court of Arbitration is to be constituted and composed of fifteen judges enjoying the highest moral consideration and of acknowledged competence in question of international law They and their successors will be appointed according to rules established by this conference, but they will also be chosen by the diff ferent countries in order that the diff | ferent systems of law and procedure in the principal languages of the world be suitably represented in the personnel of the court. Judges are to be ap- pointed for -- years (the number of years left blank), or until their suc- | cessors are appointed.
 Article IT. The Permanent Court will sit at The Hague. It will elect it's own officers, and except so far as is pre- scribed in this convention, it will es- l tablish its own rules. All decisions are l to be taken by a majority vote, nine members to compose a quorum. The | judges are to be of equal rank. They shall enjoy diplomatic immunity, and receive a sufficient appanage to put l them in a position to devote themselves to the affairs brought before them. | Article III. In no case, unless the par ties expressly consent thereto, can a judge participate in the consideration or decision of a matter brought be- fore the court in which his own coun-
 try is concerned.
 Article ". The Permanent Court 1 shall be competent to take cognizance
 of and determine all eases regarding | differences of an international charac- l ter between sovereign states which could not be settled through diplomacy | These cases can be submitted accord | ing to agreement between the parties | either concerning their origin, or to be reconsidered or revised, or to deter l mine the relative rights and duties or
 obligations arising out of decrees, de- cisions of sentences of commissions ot l inquiry and arbitration tribunals espe- cially constituted.
 Article V. Judges of the court shal
 be competent to act as judges in any
 commission of inquiry or special arbi- tration tribunal which may be consti. l tuted by any Power for the considera.
 ton of any matter which amy be espe.
 cialy submitted and which must be de
 termined by said court.
 Article VI. The present Permanent Court of Arbitration may, so far a! possible, contribute to the formation ot
 the basis on the new court. taking into
 the account the representation of thu | Powers who recently signed the con,
 vention of 1899.

There is a curious reason for the or der which the kaiser has just issued to the effect that the colors of regiments are to be taken from their cases only on the most important occasions. The flags of the German army are in a de- plorable condition, even the new ones, for the colonels of regiments which have had new colors given them of late years to replace the old ones which went through the Franco-Prussian war hated parading with brand-new colers, as if the regiment had never been in action. They winked at the subalterns who slit the new flags and gave them the dilapidated air of the old eolors. But the emperor was furi- ous at this imitation, and so he has had the sham glories put back into the cases.

TO CHECK THE GNAwING SEA.

Now that Royal Commisslca on Coast Erosion is trying to find some way to save enough of England from the waves to supply site for head quarters from which to govern the rest of the British Empire it may be re- marked withcgt any appearance of seeking to bear seaside real estate that the final revislons of geography were not made by the great cataclysms of ever gnawing at it's coasts, is working changes in continents and islands which, measured by geological stand ards, are rapid So writes Charles Frederick Carter in the Technical World Magazine for August
 "If processes now active should be continued uninterruptedly the time is near at hand by the geological ealen- dar, when some extraordinary trans formations will have been wrought on the face of the earth. If it were pos sible for mortal perception to penetrate the future perhaps steamships might be seen blowing the waters over the very spots where Galveston, New Or leans, Savannah and Charleston now stand on their way to wharves far in- land from the present coast line, Per haps the long swell of the ocean might be seen rolling across what are now Long Island and Manhattan Island to break upon the palisades. Perhaps Hol- land might once more form a part of the floor of the North Sea. Berlin and Paris might be the chief seaports of Germany and France instead of Ham, burg and Havre, long since submerged

The Host Was Pleased.

Edward Everett Hale" said a
lawyer, was one of the guests at
a millionaire's dinner. The mil
lionaire was a free spender, but he
wanted full credit for every dollar
put out. And he occupied the
time in telling the guests what the
more expensive dishes had cost.
He dwelt especially on the expense
of the large and beautiful grapes,
each bunch a foot long, each grape
bigger than a plum. He told,
down to a penny, what he had fig
ured it out the grapes had cost him
apiece.
The guests looked annoyed.
They ate the expensive grapes cha
rily. But DR.. Hale, smiling, eX-
tended his plate and said:

PRESENTS NASHVILLE
WITH A HOSPITAL
Mrs. May c. Wilson Buys
Property and Gives 1t
to the City.

Mrs. May G. Wilson purchased
the beautiful and commodious place
known as Haywood. She being a
widow with no children, everyone
here wondered what she was going
to do with it. She made a deed
for the property to DIR. Thomas
Pickett, j. Baker, Foster Barbour,
Judge A. NJ. Cochrane and
Clarence l.. Sallee as trustees
directing that the property be
devoted wholly for the maintaining
of a hospital, the deed being a gift
to the city of Maysville.
The property was formerly used
as a private female school.
Mrs. Wilson said she had al
ways desired a living monument
and this was the only and best way
she could think of leaving one.

Two Things Not to Forget.

The news developments of the
week have proved anew two
important propositions:
First-The automobile is a good
servant, but an ugly master, and
when it is operated by reckless,
foolish or incompetent persons it
is the undertaker's best friend.
Second-Flimsy constructed
summer-resort buildings are
appetizing food for flames, and
great care needs to be exercised in
preventing them catching fire.
If every body would recognize
these two facts and govern
himself accordingly the number of
automobile fatalities and of
pleasure-resort blazes would be
materially reduced.

A TRIBUTE.
Too Sensitive For the Rough
and Tumble of Political
Life.

He was was of a peculiarly SEN
fsitive disposition, too sensitive for
the rough and tumble of political
life, as has been made evident by
the tragedy. Many a man has
come through criticism and at
tacks more severe than ever were
visited on Mr.. Barth, and smiling
risen above them to higher attain
ments in public confidence. No
one who knew him questioned his
personal integrity. Most people
were inclined to regard the horse
episode in the light of a joke. AT
worst it was an ill-advised method
of using the city as purchasing
agent. 1t would soon have been
forgotten.
The city has lost business man
whose industry and success were a
credit to himself and his associates.
and whose steady climb up the
ladder of life might well be an in
spiratiOn to many a struggling lad.
His friends have lost friend who
was always loyal and ready to sac
rifice anything to be of service.

FINEST POTATO CROP
GROWN IN JEFFERSON COUNTY
FOR MANY YEARS.
Produce Dealers Say That the
Late Tomato Production Will
Be q Bumper.

The potato crop in Jefferson
county this summer, according to
commission merchants, is one OF
the best that has been grown in
years, both in quantity and in
quality. The first crop was un-
usually good, and carloads of the
product have been shipped to all
parts of the country from this
section. 1t was said by one of the
local dealers that Jefferson county
is the largest potato-produclng
county in the United States with
the exception of one county in the
State of Maine. The first yield of
the potato crop is holding out
well, the price on which is S1.25
per bushel, which is considered
reasonable. While it was thought
that the late crop of potatoes
would not prove good yield on
account of the recent dry weather,
it is now believed that since the
rain of the last few days the crop
will so improve as to be exceed
ingly productive. 1t is from the
last crop that Jefferson county so
extensively ships potatoes to all
parts of the country, but to the
Southern States for the most part.
The early tomato crop in this
immediate vicinity was not as pro-
ductive in quantity as usual, but
was of superior quality. 1t is
pronounced by dealers that the
early crop of tomatoes was firmer
and the flesh finer than has been
the case in several years. On ac-
count of the cold weather that
prevailed during the late spring
and early summer, the first crop
was little short. The early crop |
is now almost all consumed, and |
within the last week prices have |
taken a sudden jump from fifty |
cents a bushel to S1.25. 1t was
stated that at this time of year the
prices usually range from twenty
five to forty cents per bushel. 1t
is expected that the late crop will
be a great improvement over the
early crop in the respect of guam
ty. and in September there will be
seen one of the best tomato crops
on the market that has been for
years. The rain of the last few
DAYS is said to be of inestimaDle
value to the growth of the vines.
Indiana is one of the
largest tomato-producing sections
in the whole country, and from
the acreage of its present crop an
supply is assured.
