THAT CHINESE BOYCOTT.

Loom of Trade Not to Bo Feared—Preferable to Cooly Imgux. A strong effort Is being made to lower the bars so that the Chinese can more easily enter the country. Yet If a referendum vote could be ordered there would be practically a unanimous vote against Chinese Immigration. The present effort Is being backed up by the great Chinese companies that control the emigration of the coolies from China, and these four companies have induced many of the Chinese merchants to boycott American goods as long as onr Chinese immigration laws are so drastically administered. The Chinese government does not seem to be asking that our policy be changed, probably knowing that such could not be. but it is demandiug that our treaty engagements be kept, which guarantee tiie entry of merchants and students and others traveling for business or pleasure. The difficulty of administering this agreement at the custom houses is the well known duplicity of the coolies who desire to enter the United States and the tricks they are capable of to evade the law. which has resulted in the stringent efforts of the officials. There is no doubt that great Injustice has been done In some cases and that those entitled to entry have been ill used and excluded. The trouble is that the class of men who have been appointed immigration inspectors are not competent to Judge between tftse who should and those who should not be allowed to land. The threat of boycotting our goods In Cbina Is not to be feared, for the exports to that country are insignificant compared to the Influx of a horde of such undesirable immigrants as the Chinese coolies are. In 18.93 the total exports to China were less than $19,000,000 in value, the year prevails being about $24,000,000, Indicating that Sbr trade was fast decreasing before the boycott was Inaugurated. We are admitting millions of very undesirable Immigrants from Europe, but they bring their families with them and Intend to make this country their home, and these we hope to assimilate with our population In good time, though the task In the big cities is a stupendous one.

OFFICIAL GRAFTERS.

Patriots For the Old Flaw—and an Ample Appropriation. Five special agents have been appointed by President Roosevelt to investigate trade conditions in foreign countries. A good fat salary accompanies the position and all traveling expenses are paid, so these special agents will have a soft snap for a year or two. As we have consuls at every port and city of consequence and commercial agents at other less Important points whose duty it is to keep the state department informed on general trade conditions, it will at once be seen that the work will be duplicated. But that would be a waste of effort, so all the special agents will have to do is to Interview the consuls or get their latest reports and forward them to the department of labor and commerce, and then their work will be done until the next set of consular reports are ready. The official graft that these special agents are recipients of causes even that stanch Republican organ, the New York Evening Mall, that has hitherto swallowed the most bitter partisan doses, to gag at this latest political bolus and Inform the administration that “the new agents of the government would be most usefully employed going about among merchants and manufacturers In this country and begging them to pay some attention to the facts with which the government Is besieging them” through the consular reports. But the Mail should know that the Republican laborers are many and the offices to give them are few, so new positions must be created to t-.itlsfy the omnivorous appetite of the Republican politicians for position for their influential henchmen. There is nothing that so fills the soul of the average senator or congressman with joy as to land one of these coveted positions with little to do, good pay aud all expenses paid. The department that has the sense to create this kind of graft is sure of all the appropriations that it has the cheek to ask congress for, and the senate will add a few thousands extra to be sure there Is enough to go around.

Good Politics and Bad.

The Pioneer Press (Ind. Rep.) of St. Paul does not expect that government expenditures will be cut down sufficiently to wipe out the deficit, and there remain the alternative of clapping on new internal revenue taxes or of modifying the tariff. As to the latter it says: “To raise the present rates would result not in stimulating Imports, but In discouraging imports, and thus reducing the net revenues, for almost every rate Is already above the maximum revenue producing point. The alternative is a stimulation of imports by a general lowering of the tariff toward the maximum revenue producing point. The choice of congress therefore practically lies between toleration of the deficit, -which would lie bad politics, and tariff revision, which would bq good politics.”

Stopping the Deficit.

Speaking of pending congressional problems and the growing deficit in national revenues, Representative Brick of Indiana said In Washington recently; “One way of stopping a deficit is to quit spending so much money. Doubtless there are various Items In which we might well practice a policy of retrenchment. Any effort to get extra revenue by reverting to such special taxes ns were levied in the Spanish war period will meet with intense public hostility.”—New York Post

COME ALONG, “DOCTOR.”

“Dr. Syntax,” winds up a long article in the Morocco Conner on the Newton county seat matter with the following: Now to settle all this trouble I suggest that Jefferson township organize itself into a county that shall be known as Kentland county. The balance of as go back to Jasper and say, “Jasper, we have sinned against thee and in the aigbt of many we are no more worthy to be thy sod. Make us as some of thy servants. Don’t put shoes on our feet nor a ring on our hand. Just say, come ye sinner poor and needy.”

PUBLIC SALES.

The Democrat last year printed 90 per cent of the sale bills for all the public sales in-Jasper county. Why was this? Because we get up the best bill of any print shop in Northwestern Indiana and give a free notice of the sale (in full) in The Democrat, the most widely read paper in the county, and the notice in the paper goes right into the homes of the farmers and does more good than the bills themselves; —This—year -we- with again be prepared to handle this class of work in an even more complete and satisfactory manner than last, having added to our supply of stock cuts and display type, besides having greatly increased the circulation of The Democrat ip all parts of Jasper county. If you are going to have a sale it is to your financial inter* est to have The Democrat print the bills therefor. Orders by mail will receive special attention.

BESSIE LOST HES LIBEL CASE.

In addition to the $50,000 damages snit brought by Miss Bessie Cronin against Dr. H. G. Jones of Medaryville charging him with libel in the publication of an article about her when he was part owner of a Valparaiso paper, she also brought similar suits against three Logansport papers. The latter suits were tried at Peru last Thursday. Th 6 Pharos was acquitted and the suits against the other two papers were then dismissed. The Pharos states that “when placed on the witness stand Miss Cronin testified on cross examination that the story published in the newspapers was substantially correct and gave truthful, straight-forward statement of the affair over the objections of her attorneys.” Miss Cronin’s attorney has filed an affidavit for a change of venue from this county in her suit against Dr. Jones.—Pulaski County Democrat.
