'Ll3HiMiM KANSAS CF.ORC.n P. lU CKF-BY,. Editor and NANNIE U. Ht'CKKHY, f Puhiishers. 1UCII UU.U MISSOURI. Truth About the Chinese, If every American could visit Chin the question of Chinese Immigration would soon be settled upon a perma nent basts, for no one can become ac quainted with the Chine coolie with out recognizing the Impossibility of opening the doors of our country to him without Injustice to our own la boring men, demoralization to our so cial Ideas, Injury to China's reputation among im, and danger to our diplo matic relations with that country, says William J. Bryan, In Success Magazine. 1 made it a point to inqt)!reamong the Chinese whom I met. In order to ascertain the real sentiment back of the boycott I had heard of students being subjected to harsh regulations at ports of entry, of travelers humili ated by confinement In uncomfortable theds, and of merchants treated rude ly, and I supposed that these things had aroused the resentment. I found, however, that the thicks complained of were more difficult to deal with and the concessions demanded Impos sible to grant. In order to understand the boycott one must know something of Chinese history. As China has never had representative government the people have been compelled to bring their complaints before officials by petition; and, where the petition has Ix-en ignored, they have been ac customed to bring such pressure to bear as was within their power, and the boycott has often been resorted to as a means of compelling action upon the part of officials. They, therefore, conceived the Idea of a boycott against American goods for the double pur pose of urging their own government to favorable action and of calling the attention of the American government to their complaint Our officials are doing what they can to convince the Chinese government of the injustice and folly of the boycott, and the Chi nese officials with whom 1 conversed teemed anxious to cooperate with our minister and consuls. Immediate ac tion upon the part of our congress, whether favorable or unfavorable to 1he Chinese, will remove the excuse for a boycott; and our government ehould not be Influenced in Its action by any threat affecting trade, for the subject is too grave to be determined ly commercial considerations. Unpunished Offenders. There are things which to sensitive fouls constitute a disturbance of the peace, ami yet for which there is no ade quate punishment prescribed by law, very truly observes a writer in the St Iouls Globe-Democrat. A man In a short coat and silk hat is an offense of this kind, and a fat woman in a "raiuy day" skirt and peek-a-boo waist is an other. There are legions of them. They offend the artistic sense, and mar the face of nature. Now and then somo aesthetic erson, made desperate by these abuses, takes the law Into bis own bands and Inflicts punishment, usually at severe cost to himself. For Instance, if the man who stabbed Thomas Heed for playing a guitar in an undertaking establishment U caught, be may be Kent to the penitentiary. Such is th Injus- tlre in' our laws. W hat Im needed is a corps of uriucd censors of thlti:s In gen eral, something between a police aud a humane society force, and vested wllU authority to arrest onenders against good taste. A special court for the trial of such offenders could be provided, and the Keepers of loeihaulcal musical In struments, the atieel-car whistlers, platform i humps and pe rsons who talk at the play et al. could have justice inrted out to ihrin. As long as sue h of fenders are left unpunished by law, ao long will there be "unexplained" mur ders and assaults, for they "get on the nerves" of people who nave artistic fceutilbllities, and these people become moused to desierate deeds, braving even martyrdom for the holy cause of food taste. The world would welcome such a department of Justh e as we Lave auggested, if some one would take the initiative to secure the proper legisla tion. Here is the opportunity for some ambitious reformer to endear himself to the masses and make Folk, lladley and Jerome to pale their Ineffectual Cres la the bright light of his genius. One of the largest retail tobacco deal ers lu the I'nited States says that the consumption of chewing tolmcco has lu 1 1 cased almost DO per cent. In Uveears. He attributes this increase to the auto mobile, because It Is impossible to enjoy . cigar or pipe while whizzing along in . motor car.

Vnolc? Sam's treasury has recove red. There Is no longer a deficit. In fact, the pres lent fiscal year will close with a sur j plus of at least Jin.OOO.ooit; which w ill I loolt well against the record of last ! year, which closed with a deficit of ' nearly $1M.('iU0. The failing of the de ficit is an Indi I cation of ge neral prospe rity. The J revenues come from duties on Im- ported merchandise and from the tax j on cigars, snuff, beer, liquors, etc. I The revenue from the latter taxes I Is more steady than that which is do- riv?rl from the tariff duties and any falling off In the Income generally means that the general business of the country has sagged. A compari son of the separate monthly state- nients this year with those of a year J ago shows that this year Is better than the previous one by a very consider able percent. Pruning Hook Helpful.

The deficit on Feb 27 was only $L'S?e.1 :;. When the receipts of the month were counted and the tills paid It was found on Feb. L'S that there was n surplus of $1.1"; onu. The end of March saw the balance? In creased to $"i.772.4"3. That settled the question of a de ficit, for It included fveiii! millions of extraordinary expenditures on Re count of the 1'anauia canal.

FRIDAYJHE I3TH DISTRESSING ACCIDENT ON BAT TLESHIP KEAR3ARGE SIX KILLED, TWO MAY DIE Explosion cf Powder In Forward Tur? ret Kearsarge Was Encjaged in Tar get Practice Second In 2 years. WASHINGTON. Two years to a day later than the fatal Missouri dls Ester, as every sailor Immediately re called, on a Friday and the loth of the month, six men were done to death on the forward turret of the battleship Kearsarre by one of those Occidents which acquire additional terror fot sailors because of their obscure origin and almost impossibility of prevention. The Atlantic fleet, the strongest fighting fle et America has ever owned had been for weeks enaaged In th most severe drills In the waters of the Caribbean sea. culminatning lu the quarterly target practice. This prac tlce was Just about concluding, with most satisfactory results up to yes terday, and It was confidently ex,ect cd Bt the department, on the basis ol preliminary rceorts received, that all records would be broken In tho nuittt i of rapidity of fire anil efficiency of the gunners. But just at the close- of the week's work at the department, emit a cablegram from Rear Admiral Evans the commanding chief of the Atlantic fleet, telling of a dreadful accident on one of his best ships, the Kearsarge How Accident Probably Occcurred. The first feeling of the officers at the navy department after reading the cablegram was one of surprise that the accident had resulted in so little !os rf life. The Krarsarge's forward tur ret, where it occurred. Is of the super posed type; In other words, an S inch gun turret sat upon the top of the in Inch gun turret where the oecldeiit oc rurred. In the lower tut ret were twenty-four men. and In the uppe r tur ret sixteen. An ammunition hoist con nected the two and had the powder In the lower hoist exploded probably every man In the turre ts would have been killed. The full charge of pow der for ft 13-Inch gun Is too large te be handled by any one man, so It Is divided Into sections In canvas bag ami It was three of these, probably Ju-et enough to fill one compart mi nt In the ammunition hoist, which Ignited As the t-.ihlcvram slates, the cause of the lenition was not known, but the first belie f at the navy e.

Rallrosd Senators Fear to Force Broad Amendment Through. WASHINGTON -- rieslde nt Hoose veil held s long conference with Sen ator Long of Kansas, Senator Wamer of Missouri and Senator Hopkins of Illinois, in which lie discussed the var ious nnii iidiiieiits whle h have bee n pro-pose-d to the Hepburn bill. The Bri'sl dent agrees with the Senate friends of the bill that there are several amend ments which would greatly Improve the measure, but none of those with which the President has expressed satisfaction commands at this time a sufficient number of votes to assure its passage. It Is certain that the President will not accept the broad court review amendment and would prefer to veto the bill rather than accept It In the form which would be acceptable to the "conservative" senators. The Ixmg amendment, suggested by the ad ministration, will not command to ex ceed twenty-five Reptibl!cnn votes. The President Is very favorably Inclin ed to the plmmons amendment Intend ed to give the shlpwrs a fair hearing before any Injunction Is Issued, but would prefer Hint part of the Ballev amendment prohibiting Injunctions If It could be put in as a separate clause In the bill. The court review clause of the Bailey amendment Is not satisfactory to him because of the broad review provision. As the time for n vote ap proaches. It Is difficult to figure out a sufficient number of votes In the Senate to pass any of the amend ments which affect the vital princi ples of the bill. It Is apparent that there are more votes for a broad re view amendment than for tiny other, but the fee; ling that the? President would veto the III with such an amendment In it. even If the House were not able to stand out ncalnst the Senate In conference, niakes it excecrlintly questionable? whether th senators will dare to foice through the provision.
