cHINA's PRESS AND IDOLS.

Whilst the Chinese government is

China and when we have heard some
of them preach we must say that, in
the main they have been very tactful
in their dealings with these things.
But the Chinese themselves are not In
any way sensitive in their handling
of the question.
Idols and the like, incense burning
and all its accessories, lamentations
and all their kindred superstitions are
heaped together and, so to speak, set
on fire in the presence of the people.
The whole system is held up to ridi-

pensive and degrading in the extreme.
The people are urged to sweep away
the whole paraphernalia without keep

"Confucian classics are quoted as
showing that when Confucius was
leading the people into paths of right

held up as worthy of imitation, for
they at least only worship one God.

WITH THE EDITORS.
A Special Session -?

Tt is hoped that the rumor that the
governor will veto the general appro-
priation bill and make this the occa-
sion of a special session of the general
assembly Is a mistake The items in
the appropriation bill to which the
governor objects do not, taken all to-
gether, aggregate the amount of ex
pense which the state would incur
by reason of a special session of the
legislature at $4,000 a day, which, once
recalled, would adjourn when it got
ready.
There is an old adage to the effect
that you can lead a horse to water,
but you can't make him drink. The
disposition of the general assembly to
keep itself in harmony with the adj
ministration at all times was not suffi-
GENTLY in evidence at the last session
to Justify the belief that the governor
would have anything but team of
wild horses on his hands should he call
a special session at this time. If there
is to be a special session, it should
certainly be called for some other rea-
son than objections to a few items in
the general appropriation bill. framed
by the general assembly on the basis
Of report made by a commission of
the governors own appointment, al
though every one VIII agree that there
may be items in the bill which are open
to objection. If a special session is to
be called to consider insurance legis-
laton. we believe it would better come
several months hence, when there has
been longer time for discussion of the
matter by members Of the Legislature
with their constituents. We are in
elined to believe that the governor will
take all these matters into considera-
tion before deciding upon the calling
of an extra session. and on this account
conclude that the talk of one is idle
