Chnese Fire Worship.

Chicago Daily News.
 Among other ancient customs now disappearing in China is that ofrwor' shipping the god of fire. The Hong kong correspondent of a Shanghai newspaper wrote last summer:
 Ali those who reside in the south of China know that at this time of, the year. during the stfing days of August, the people for long years have been ac- customed to worship the god of fire, and at the same time to indulge in certain ceremonies. of which fire forms d part, in order to minister to the wan dering souls of those who have not found a decent burial. or those whose relatives are too poor or too indiffer- eut to attend to their wants in the neither world. Of course. all this is very expensive and in some cases is also dangerous to the we'll being of the town: for not infrequently, fires re- ward those who are thus devoted to worship. and they get a bigger blaze than they have bargained for.
 The officials always issue grand motherly admonitions. which are year ly couched in the same language, and are often written in doggerel verse. When they have done this they assume that their duty has been accomplished. Until this year no very marked differ ence has been shown in the way things are done, though for the last two or three years the newspapers have de- nounced this foolish waste of energy and moneV-
 This year, however. in Canton, the ant section of the city have met and have decided that in the future they will discontinue the old custom. That it has been condemned by the most in f1uential section of Canton will glvo the whole thing a blow from which if will never properly recover. and 1t only needs time. before it may disap- pear altogether"

WHY Mr.. BARROW
SHOULD BE GRATEFUL

Louisville Courier-Jourlal.
A lawyer employed to defend a
prisoner at bar is expected to do his
utmost, within legitimate bounds, for
his client. Mr.. Darrow was expected
to leave no stone unturned to estab-
lish the Innocence OF William D. Hay
wood, on trial for the murder of Mr..
ed for that purpose. 1t is difficult,
however, to perceive the excuse, JUS
LITIGATION or relevancy of the TRADE
he heaped upon the Constitution. In
stead of making an argument in be-
half of the innocence of his client, he
ication and denunciation which was
more like al emanation from a cheap
enemy of all Law han a lawyer with
a sense of responsibility. 1t was il
logical, false, dangerous and treason
able. How a man Of integrity could
make such a speech merely for pay
how he could sell mis- patriotism and
assume the role of a leader of blood
shed, dynamite, destruction and chaos
is ilcomprehensible. Emma Gold
man and Leon Czolgosz, with all their
sinister vagaries, were more repre-
hensible than Mr.. barrow only when
the woman's disciple shot a President
while shaking his hand.
And yet what a debt does Mr.. Oar
row owe to the very Constitution he
asks the laboring people to hate?
There is no other nation of re~cogniz-
ed position which would tolerate from
a citizen such treason as he utters.
1t is because of the liberal, democrat
ic Constitution of the United States
its recognition of freedom of speech.
its manifest aim to protect the citi-
zen from too much government and
to make the citizen the source, not
the subject, of power-that Mr.. Oar
row may vociferate in his infiamma-
tory style without putting his liberty
or life in danger from the Govern
ment. Men have been put to death in
other lands for speeches less violent.
They did not have such a Constitution
as hat under which Mr.. barrow lives.
And now that his speech is ended the
frenzied lawyer Should thank his
lucky stars that SO tolerant and be
nign a Constitution renders him i'm
mune from punishment for one of the
most disloyal ~utterances possible for
a man to make.

A TERRIBLE STATE OF
AFFAIRS IN TEXAS,

From Lakewood Progress.
There must be a terrible state of
affairs locally over at Albany, Tex,
judging from the following note from
the versatile pen of our Irish friend,
Dick Mccarthy, editor of the Alba
ny News:
I'VE were up at the depot the 9TH
er day and a stranger jumped off the
train, looked around at our weed
patches and old shacks and said:
"Why, what is the matter with this
town? 1t seems to be run down at
the heel" Yes, it has ru1 down at the
heel-a factional fight has killed it
deader thar the devil We met a man
the other day who lives in this coun-
ty, but hardly ever comes here on
account of the factional differences.
He says it makes him tired to look
at the sleepy old thing. We said to
him: You just ought to come owe
some time when we have got on a
fight and see the old thing raise her
name n tail and champ the bits
That's the reason that there are so
many weeds and mesquite bushes
here. It's contagious. We are raising
our children up and teaching them
to hate each other. Even d dogs
and chickens have lined up in the
fight A man moved away from here
