There came very near being another
ran- riot In New York city on 1-abor Day
A negro boy threw an apple core at a ped
dler. and the peddler pursued the boy.
caught him trod was giving him a beating
when a negro man came up and kno ked
the poddler down A proieralon of tailor
ing men was passing at the lime and the
cry of "lynch him! lynch him!" was at
once raised among them. That was
enough to start a riot. Kvery negro In the
netghtiorhooil wlm made his appearance
In the street was attacked Home of them
were pretty Iwidly Latin. Uricks and
stones were thrown, and. for a while, the
situation looked very seitous. Finally the
police got • otllrol of the mob. and after
a number of arrest# hud been made quiet
was restored.
Rare riot* are likely to tie of frequent
occurrence In New Yoik. now that It has
been demonstrated that there Is a pretty
strong feeling there against the negro
Kvery time there Is a public difficulty be
tween a negro and a white man there l
likely lo lie a movement against the ne
groes. Borne one is likely to start a cry
agalnsi the negroea Just as was the caa.
on I-abor Hay
There Is no doubt that among the tailor
ing people of New Yoik there I* a very
hostile feeling for the negroes They oc
cupy certain ttetde of lalior to ihc exclu
sion ol while men. This Is resented hy
ihe whiles. In the recent riot In New Or
leans Ihe element that attacked the ne
groes on the street not only has u preju
dice against the negro race, as the white
pcoph generally have, but It hates them
because they successfully compete for
certain kinds of labor.
In New York the riots will tie started
by those who ha’e the negro because he
Is a competitor for labor. Uut If there
were no race prejudice running through
all rlasses of white people there would be
no race riots.

Everything goes to show that the up
rt-mg In China had Its origin In the
strong fe. ling of dislike on the pari of
the natlvea against the Christian*, not
on aiicunt of the religion of the latter,
hut because the Chinese havy been un
able to differentiate b- tween the |>er*ons
professing and teaching Christianity, and
the non profm-ing subjects of the Chris
tian government*. To the Chinese mind
all white men are Christians, whether
thy are hard-driving nnd Irrillgtous rad
ioed contractors or traders, or mlsslon
arlis It 1* neither the fault of nor any
reflection upon the missionaries that this
feeling of animosity should exist among
the Chine*-. While the good men of the
- lolh hav- labor.<i long and earnestly to
establish a foothold for the true religion
among the yellow p ople, there have been
many other nominal Christian*, that ls
men brought up In Christian countries,
who s traders, contra* lor*, etc . have
used the Chinese shamefully; and. unfor
tunately, harsh nnd unjust treatment
makes a more lasting Impression than
tenderness and honesty.
In a recent gpterh laird Salisbury said
that It was not to Christianity as a re
ligion. but to Christians o- suspected po
litical nernt* of foreign powers, that the
Chine*, ol.j.cted All of the encroach
ment* that hav.- len made upon the Chi
nrne empire during rer.nt year* have
been by Christian Power*. Every treaty
concession breaking In ti|>n the ancient
usage* of the Chinese lias been obtain, and
by a Christian Power. It Is not surpris
ing. Iber-fore, that the naturally suspi
cious Chinese should look upon the for-
Igner*. or "Christians." with uneasiness,
and fear for the perpetuity of their Insti
tutions If not their nation Itself
The treaty stipulations between China
and the Christian Fowi r# provide not only
for the safety of missionaries, but also
for the safety of native converts. This
provision has twin the cause of a great
deal of trouble The native convert* to
Christianity are not wholly without guile
It has been said. Indeed, that some of the

to ibe Immunities of the latter, which
they regard as an Injustice, and for which
Injustice the* blame the Christians.
Kuropean contractors constructing rail
ways In China have net been careful to
respect the rights and senttimnts of the
Chinese. They hove Impnssid unwilling
labor, (logged their laborers, confiscated
property without adequate compensation,

erwise shown contempt for the Chinese.
The blame for all this sort of thing has

rather than at the door of th responsible
Individuals or governments.

—The system of colored signal glasses
used on the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad his already passed the
experimental stage and Is pronounced a
complete success. For the signal lumps
red glass Is used for danger, green for
safety, and yellow for caution. The
lenses of a given color nre carefully test
ed and uniformity Is demanded lieforv
they are put In service. The engineers
can thus calculate the distance* to the
lights readily, a# In the same atmosphere
the signals show alike and can be seen
from one to three miles The change
from white to a green for the safety sig
nal was adopted on account of the fre
quency with which new white lights
were placed along the lines of ihe rail
way. serving to perplex the engineers
The change to a uniform glass Is also
much appreciated by the engineers, a
with the glass formerly used with vary
ing degrees of transparency and color ll
was aot possible to estimate distances.

—One of the triumphs of modern tech
nical chemistry has been the production
of artificial indigo Since July, 1)197. the
Radish aniline and soda factory at l.utl
wlgshafrn has produced n dye stuff from
naphthulln and other product* of coal tar
which, from u chemical standpoint ns
well a* In Its dyeing properties, ts abso
lutely Identical with the Indigottn and In
digo blue of the natural vegetable. The
theory of the artificial production of In
digo was llrst announced between I*7o
and ishn. hut the application of methods
to practical uses required some twenty
years of constant research. The present
artificial Indigo commerce I* said to rep
resent almost pure Indlgotln. and I* sold
In the form of a97 per cent, powder In
the cose of the vegetable Indigo the
amount of tndlgoMn fluctuates between 70
and 90 per cent. The artificial Indigo
contains no Indigo red. no Indigo brown,
ami no Indigo glue: the lack of theee
substances being It* special disadvantage,
a* the Indigo red and the Indigo glue seem
to have some connection with the fiber
of Ihe fabric to he dyed. The Indigo
red Is useful In the production of the
darker shades With lower prices for
the artificial product which It used hy
dyer* In the same way a* the vegetable
Indigo. It seems extremely likely that
the cultivation of the latter, now ex
tensively carried on In the Eaat ladles,
will be rendered uafiroQublc.

The liability to disease is preatly
lessened when the blood is in tfOod con
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system ;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti
tution so weakened that a simple
malady might result scrioualy.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, htuilthy
