Brigham H. Roberta' successor in
Congress is a bachelor, and hence can
not be refused his seat on the charge
of polygamy.
Philadelphians are rejoicing over
prospect that the census .will give their
city a population of about 1,295,000, an
iucreaso of nearly 25 per cent since 181K).
Tho v ChincM boxers, assisted by the
imperial troops of China, are cansing
havoc at Tien Tsia. Bnt the' retribu
tion will come, and the Chinese will
hare to pay the penalty. As yet the
United BUtes Government is loath to
declare that a state of war exists, bnt
it will hare to recognize the inevitable.
Congressman Joseph Bailey of Texas
should congratulate himself npon his
friends—two of them, at least. Jliey
are Ex-Gov. Francis of Missouri and
Congressman Sibley of Pennsylvania.
Both are very rich men, and, they de
sire to see Mr. Bailey rich also. Re
cently, it is stated, they purcliased for
Mr. Bailoy a Texas ranch worth $250, -
000, allowing him thirty years in
which to pay for it. Mr. Bailey says
be expects to pay the amount within
twelve years.
. The united powers seem to have un
derestimated the fighting capacity and
equipment of the Chinese army just as
the British at first did those of the
Boers. More troops wjll have to be
sent to Chins, bnt the result is oertftb,
the Chinese Government will have
to make terms. What is of importance
to the United States is that these
terms shall insure the integrity of the
Chinese empire. The United States
Government does not desire’s partition
of China, does not desire landed pos
sessions in China, bnt does desire
peace and trade opportunities. Great
Britain desires the>ame^thing and not
land acquisitions. The United States
and Great Britain shonld be able to
preserve the Chinese empire, thought
joining with the other powers in de
manding the overthiow of the Dowager
Empress and the establishment of an
emperor and his advisers who recog
nize the binding force of treat y obliga
tions. Wo want an open door in China
to onr trade and must assist in sup
pressing revolutions based on the cry,
“death to the foreigners,” and are
thns forced into participation in the
present Chinese troubles. Peace with
the world is the object of those United
£ tates, bnt they cannot shirk responsi
bility when forced upon them and
must do their port in teaching China a
lesson.
RENOMINATED PRESIDENTS.
A handsome Indian maiden at Wi
chita, who had been educated in the
East, inserted an advertisement in a
New York paper to the effect that she
wanted “a city young man to marry
her and care for her estate of $10,000.”
Within two weeks she had received
over 2,000 replies. She answered sev
eral hundred of the letters and finally
decided to xiake a selection from ton of
the correspondents. There was, how-
oyer, an Indian lover in the way. He
asked her if she had determined to
marry a whiteman. She replied “yea”
when he drew a revolver and shot her
dead, and then killed himself.—New
Orleans States.
That speculative markets are uncer
tain is shown by the tumble in the
New York cot.on market on Monday.
1 Unfavorable crop news upset the market,
and for a while prices went skyward.
Then the rebound commenced, and all
operators sought cover. On Tuesday
moderation prevailed, the market was
dull, the excitement having abated,
and prices for a time advanced but
slowly. The wheat market in Chicago
is liable to show similar slumps, for
though weather and crops reports may
be for tho time unfavorable until the
entire crop of the country is harvested
and the output of foreign countries
known, it will bo impossible to esti
mate the demand which will be made
npon our surplus for export. In the
meantime market operator* will toss
pricea to and iregardless of tho
iA*tmDi«ity that the total yield
may not, with stocks on hand, amount
almost if not to on average supply.
The renomination of FresidenUMc-
Kinley for a second term leads tho
Atlanta Journal to recall the fact
that it has been twenty-eight years
since a president of ibe United States
has been elected to succeed himself.
Grant was the last to received, such an
honor. Of our twenty-five presidents
only seven have'been elected for two
successive terms, namely: Wash- l/JRGINIA
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
Jackson, Lincoln and Grant. Grover
Cleveland has the distinction of
being the only man who was ever
elected after being defeated for re-
election. Three presidents who
were nominated for second terms
have been dofeatetK-John Adams,
John Quincy Adams and Benjamin
Harrison. Andrew Jackson was de
feated in 1824 by a coalition between
the friends of Henry Clay and John
Quincy Adams, but was elected over
whelmingly in 1828 and 1832. Mr.
Bryan wij.1 be the only man, except
Jackson, who after failing in his first
race for the presidency was put for
ward by kis party at the next election.

ton Hathaway has made a specialty ot Female
Diseases. During that time be has had among

fact, ererv form ot those diseases which make a
burden of life to the great majority of women.
He has so perfected this system ot his that he
can treat these cases by mall, without any per
sonal examination (to which jvery sensitive
woman naturally objects) and without any oper
ation. with Its consequent pain and necessary
danger.

vacy of the home; the cure is painless and It Is

PRESERVE THE FORESTS.
The Chicago Record, discussing
somebody’, proposition to foster tho
emigration of negroes from the United
States to the Hswsiisn Islands, sa,s:
“Unforfunstel, for the plan which
contemplates transferring man, ne
groes in a mass from the states to
Hawaii, the native Hawaiians have an
ineradicable dislike for them. An,
attempt to unite natives and negroes in
political or social life would meet with
fail ore, and it ia possible that the pease
and prosperity of the islands would
then really suffer." It is a pity that
this regard for raoe prejudice was not
considered in Illinois and elsewhere in
tho North thirty, odd years ago, when
tho ignorant blacks were forced os
political equals npon the white men of
tlio South. It tho people of the North
had been as considerate of their own
eonnbrymen—men ef their own.hiood
and hone—as this Oliioago paper is of
the Kanakas of the Sandwich Islands,
much bad feeling and bloodshed would
have been averted.—Savannah News. a
Estimates made by the Boston Her
ald ore that at the present rate of con
sumption the snpply of lamber within
the United States is likely to be ex
hausted within twenty-five years. It
states that 20,000,000,000 cubic feet are
used annually, 5,000,000,000 of which
are used for making paper and 15,000,-
000,000 for other purposes. The value
of forest products used in the United
States is estimated to be $1,000,000,000
annually, nearly twice the value of tho
output of all the mines, quarries, pe
troleum wells and other mineral pro
ducts of the country. In Europe tim
ber is cut at the rate of 20,000,000 tons
per month, and in the United States at
two and one-half times that rate. The
preservation of the forests is one of the
pressing and important questions of the
day.
The torch lighted -in China may set
the ‘world on fire. The nations are
hurrying there, like wolves around a
dying deer, each waiting for its share.
It is easy enongh to o erthrow the
Chinese Government, vut when it
comes to dividing the spoil there will
be trouble.
