True to Ilia Itecord* The Register dues not hesRate to misrepresent everything and everybody in favor of the refunding ordinance. This, of course, Is very pleasing to Phoee of its stockholders who own some of the present high interest bonds of the city, but It cannot deceive the intelligent public. The people of this city know something of the Register's attitude heretofore In certain other propositions In which the tbx payers were concerned. It will be remembered, for instance, that our contemporary advocated Uhe erection of the uVTain street stone bridge, ridiculing the idea that It would cost more than (75,000, when it was proposed to erect a splendid steel structure for less than half that 4 sum. The stone bridge proposition carried, and the tax-payera, who had been Dromfsed that this monument to the economy of a Democratic city administration would cost them less than $75,000, were called upon to pay $130,000, besides the interest on the bonds. In ordinary transactions this would have been termed a neat Job of bunkoing. At another time, in 1805, when council, in order to meet over-due bonds and other obligations that were Inherited from ItB Democratic predecessor, found It necessary to propose a loan ordinance, the Register raised pretty much the sort of a howl that ft is now raising against an honest, business-like, nonpolftlcal proposition In the Interest of the public welfare. The ordinance failed to receive the required majority, because, then as now, there were people who couldn't see what was beet for their own Interests. The result was that, in order to pay these over-due debts left by the administration supported by the Register, a raise in taxes of 14 cents on the $100 was necessary. As soon as the back debt was paid the levy was repealed, however. Now, wo And Wie Register, true to its record for opposing every fair business proposition to lestsen the burdens of tiie tax-payers of this city, advocating the defeat of the refunding ordinance. 8hould the ordinance fail to receive the necessary three-tlfths majority the result wHl be the stoppage of all improvements for years to come, or, the other alternative?another raise of taxes. It will not do for the Register to dishonestly attempt to create a prejudice among the voters by impugning the motive the authors of the ordinance, or by misrepresenting the management of the finances. That is an old trfck of the Register's which the community has learned to understand, or.tif It hasn't, It Is time for 1t to open Its eyes. In this Instance, a little Inquiry will show that the Register, aside from Its ohronto opposition to about everything In the line of progress, may have a selfish interest In desiring to retain the high Interest bonds. The Tariff and Onr Foreign Trail*. The monthly reports of the exports and Imports of the country are regularly demonstrating how false were the Democratic predictions that the Dingley bill would destroy our foreign trade. It will be recalled that similar predictions have always been indulged in by free traders previous to the enactment of protective tariff laws. They were made Just as positively regarding the McKlnley law ns they were last summer while the Dingley bill was pending. Every spcech In opposition to the measure, and every free trade newspaper article, bristled wltb attempts to show that the logical result of Its passage would be the destruction of our foreign trade, and there wfcs much talk about "retaliation" on the part of foreign nations. It will also bo recalled that under the McKlnley law the foreign trade of the country, both imports and exports, was larger than ever before. The statistics Issued since the Dingley tariff has bten 1n operation show a growth of a like character, wlillo talk of "retaliation" has ubout ceased. The total valuo of Imports for Ootober, 1n spite of the enormous anticipatory Importations, was $4D,00D,81.1, less than a half million dollars lower than In October, 180(1, when there had been no advance Importations. The value of the exports In October was fibt.6S8.ML While (his Is ft,MO,000 loss than in Ootober of last year, Hip exports for Beptem'ber were $20,000,000 greater In value than those for Heptember of Inst year. A claim that those exports were wholly due to the foreign demand for American grain will not "hold wator" In the faro of the fact tha^ Micro has been a steady Increaso In the exports of manufactured goods. Those facts, together with the fact thai the receipts from customs rovenuos are steadily increasing, bearing out the pre* diction of Mr. iJlugloy that thero would toe a gradual Increase until the deflclcnOles would misn, not only vindicate the confidence of the supporters of the Dingley, bill* but prase f<u?u u?o Ires iisds j prophecies that it would 1)6 a destroye of foreign 'trade and fall as a revenu producer. Discomfort* of lit* Klondike. Those who oontemplte going to th Klondike next spring And little encour agement 1n the reports that are sen home by those who are already there True the reports of gold have not beei exaggerated and there will be many for tunes made, but the dangers and hard ships involved are such as to make it ai uninviting field for all who are not pos sessed of extraordinary physical devel opment and powers of endurance. Th Parkeraburg Sentinel publishes a lette from a man who left that city some t1m since for the new El Dorado. It is ul most pathetic In Its warning to others t remain at home, and is worth reproduc ing. "If any of your readers," says th Klondlker, whose name Is W. T. Parkei "or any of my friends expect to come t Alnuliii <a1l I h Am thri-iilfrh lha rviliimn of your paper for God's sake to stay 1; good old Parkersburg. Tell t'hem that 1 gets so cold In Alaska that your breatl freezes and cracks and pops on the at like icicles; that the mercury gets a low as 80 degrees below zero; that ther are Impassible mountains to cross." . This i? bad enough and should caua everybody save the sturdiest and moa daring adventurer to heeltate before ven turlng on the Journey. It Isn't half. T relate all the hardships the Klondlk gold seekers must endure would 1111 col umns. Mr. Parker further on in his let ter says: "I have JUHt crossed the Gulf o Alaska. Was caught In a storm an< carried 150 miles out Into ,tho Pacifl* ocean. If I wero back In Purkersburg would not come back to Alaska for a! the gold here. This letter goe out by the last mall that will go out fa eight months and they (friends whi write to him) may not expect on an swer for ten montha." From whloh It seems that Mr. Parke is very much disgusted with his expert ence. Let us hope that this West Vlr ginlan will succeed well enough in hi 6earch for fortune to compensate hln for his sufferings. Germauy and China. The action of the German war ships ii landing forces at Klao-Chan, China, am taking possession of flhree forts, afle putting the Chinese garrisons, number lng l,f>00 men, to flight, while an act o war, Is not likely to result In a seriou outbreak between China and Germany China niUBt realize that the course of th' Germans was justlflcd by the murders o German missionaries and the mobbing o the German minister to China, and wll nee the usuelssness of refusing catisfac tlon therefor. The responsibility of China for th murder of the missionaries appears t be fixed, since It la asserted that th1 tragedy was not the work of bandi ts, bu was deliberately planned by the gover nor of the province In whloh It occurred China knows well her own weakness &n< Is not anxious to get into a scrape will one of the greatest European powers. What Th?jr Really Do, Mr. "Anti-Loan" again breaks loo? In the bond-holders' organ to say tha figures quoted showing a comparison o the handling of the city debt by the pre? ent administration and its Democrat! predecessor are not correct. The figure are taken from the annual reports of th various city clerks. This queer genius also says the admin lstration is not entitled to any credit to having shown up cleaner books than It predecessor did, and asks, "Do they (th "powers of the city hall") claim especla and particular credit for obeying th law?" No; they simply point out tha they paid bills which had been left ove by their predecessors who had not obey ed the law. Our Charleston dispatch gives th latest developments concerning the Chll ton shortage, from which It may b noted that the state administration ha been Inveetlgatlng the facts so far as I is possible to do so, and will take prope action In the case,in tho proper way, ma liclous comments about "oolluslons," b; the evening paper in th!s city, to the con trary notwithstanding. It Is refreshing to noto that thero I one European power that knows how t deal with Turkey and get prompt satis faction for outrages committed agn4nf Us citizens. Austria didn't mlno? word with the sultan, but sailed right In (c apologies and indemnities with gun trained to enforce the demand. Mrs. Mabel Batelle Wallace-Ketchan who is figuring 1n Chicago's latest bl sensation, is either a very wicked woma or a very much persecuted woman.

Chlcago;News: Of the families whose | telephones are on that north side circuit of six nearly every member of five ! one day last week rang, ground and ' hammered on their transmitters until they were red In the face, dark about | the brows and poor company. Mrs. No. 1 planned an Impromptu little dinner for a niece who had comeun- j expectedly on a visit and proved to be very attractive. She thought her devious way through the various arrange- | ments and the supplies which would bo needed and when she went to the 'phone to order of her grocer?well, she | had to rush down there because uho could not mnke the telephone work. Mrs. No. 3 tried to call the doctor? I couldn't?sent her little boy and he forgot what he had been sent for. The baby had a very bad attack of colic,too. "That telephone!" Mrs. No. 3 said and words failed her after she had Jerked the crank-handle for fifteen minutes without success. "ThnrA la onmntMnrr mnftnr with * our telephone. It Is too provoking! We pay to have that thing in our house, but when wo really want to use It it's always out of order!" was Mrs. No. 2's I greeting to her husband In the front . halhvny, where she had announced In a despairing whisper that Mrs. Rollins and the two Miss Rollins had come un- i expectedly for a visit and found her in * the midst of house-cleaning. "Oh, It is dreadful! And Just because that wretched telephone was out of or- 1 der and Mrs. Rollins had not been able to nnnounce her coming ov*r the wire." Miss No. 4 was not Invited to John De Brutton's theater party; they did 1 not have the steak for dinner until there } was a very Angry man to carve It, and j Dan went fruitlessly away over to the i west side to see n?well, a boxing 1 match?that was not pulled off: all be- r cause that telephone persistently refun- <; ed to work. Mr. No. 5 was hurt In a i runaway and because the house tele- f phone was ailing his family learned of ^ the catastrophe from the men who brought the wreck of the buggy home and wanted to know what Mrs. No. 5 had heard from the hospital! 1 Dusk settled down on five very unhappy, unquiet homes that night and \ the five messages which were sent to the manager of the telephone exchange almost burned holes In the messenger's ] pockets. r Mrs. No. fl, however, rnng up during the evening and the sound of the bell ? made the other five families Jump, It j was so unexpected. They counted those J machines silenced. Five cars at the five i receivers soon hard this pass between ' the chief operator and Mrs. No. 6: ( "Hello!" gravely. 1 "Hello! what Is It?" sunvely from Mrs. No. f?. "The other subscribers on your circuit are firing shrapnel and canister at me f because their Instruments have not worked. Yours seems to be all right? ! hasn't vour receiver been hanging by i the cord? I can't explain In any other way." "Yen, T believe It has." sweetly. "Didn't you Know that that cut off ull the others on thnt circuit?" 1 "I didn't think of thnt; did It?" "Of course It did. Why didn't you c hang tip your receiver " ; There wan a chug nnd a whirring sound In the manager's ear, for Mrs. ; No n was saying with spirit: "The Impudent tillnw!
