CHINA FACING
ANOTHER FIGHT

NOUSLY AND RUSHES TO-
WARD MONSTER DRAGON.

London, Eel. 16.-Relations be
tween Russia and China are strained
to the breaking point
Russia today notified the govern
ments of Great Britain, France and
Germany of her intention to make g
military demonstration in toe Russo
Chinese frontier, owing to Chinas per
sistent violation of the st. Petersbure
treaty of 1881.
Russian troops will he sent to the
district of Iii forthwith.
The extent of military operations
it is added in diplomatic note, will
depend entirely upon Chinas atti
tude.
China, it is believed by many, is not
averse to fight.
The vital questions involved in the
controversy are free trade in Mongo-
liza. extra territorial rights, rights of
Russians in China and the establish
ment of Russian consulate at ko-
buy, Mongolia.
Rumors were recently circulated re-
garding the intention of Russia to
bring pressure upon China, because of
alleged violations of the Russo-C
nese treaty. That the situation was
acute was then denied. 1t was admit
ted, though, that there were differ
ences in the Interpretation of the in
ternational agreement. The treaty,
which was adopted in 1881, expires
this month.

certain classes are joined to their

is the fact that they set traps for
their neighbors and neighbours chill

county option.
If the Chinaman had vote, the

his smoke; and speaking from a
moral standpoint, if one of these in

the other should be. County option

COMMON DRINKING CUP

without any known reason.
One of the stiangest of recent
manifestations of this force of public
sentiment Is the present crusade
against the common drinking cup.
For years. physicians and santarians
have urged the danger and the filth
ness OF common drinking utensils.
With few exceptions. their words
seemed to fall on deaf ears. The
public. apparently. was not interest
ed. But suddenly, without any
manifest reason, the point of satura-
ton seemed to be reached. Crystal
hzatlOn of public opinion began.
States began to enact laws, and cities
to pass ordinances abolishing the
common drinking-cup in all public
places. State after state took it up.
There was no concerted movement:
there was scarcely any organization
behind it: there was little special
effort needed. The people had evil

New Hampshire. New jersey. New

Doubtless the other states will act as
soon as they have an opportunity.
The introduction of the sanitary
drinking fountains into the Plym-

movement. The street drinking

County Option the Issue.

County Option the Issue.
Editor Republican:
In the last issuet Of you paper
you copy an article from IT, Indian

which is only the cause of the re
publicans and adopted the flag of
the Indiana Brewers association
In the first place the ssloon ques-
ton like the slavery question will
never be divorced from politics un-
til it is settled right. No question,
moral or otherwise which affects the
whole people either for veal or woe
can be divorced from politics, and
the party that goes into the next
campaign without a plank assuring
clean cut county option is doomed
TO failure in the final count. Good
roads. Parcels Post and even the
Tariff must lie down and let this one
issue walk over themf
But why should cities be exempt
from local option? To the people
in cities wish to become Independent
of the surrounding country? Do they
want to keep their spider web al
WAYS set for the neighboring coun-
try flv to be caught every time it
comes to town7
The state educates the youth
found in their domains at public
expense for the reason that it makes
them better citizens and then sets
her fiy trap in legalized saloons to
make them worse citizens. Doesn t
Il look as if either the common
schools or the saloons should be
abandoneds
But the Star would sacrifice a
rr;nciple for the purpose of catching
votes Did any party ever succeed
With a platform of that. hndf If
taev ever did it was before my time.
The question is now before the

Fore Il is taken out of politics. Coun-

The practice of the beggar is an in
suit to the flag. 1t is detrimental
to the spirit of democracy.
Society has long since taken
cognizance of the fact that there is
always class, certain per cent, of

provided for. Pursuant to this de-
mand taxes have been levied and

and insists that he shall be support

from fund raised for his particular
benefit, he imposes an additional
tax tc the one already levied to re-
