The administration ol McKinlejr bas been characterised throughout by good, sonnd judgment, fairness, political toler ance and solicitude toward granting the . nnhlir alalia' Indeed, this last item ' baa been taken up by bis criticisers and bas been and now is, a fruitful source of so-called arguments used in bis dialavor. Of all argument which could be used against a tuan, it seems (o ns that this is one ol the most far-fetched and pre posterous. He is accused and con demned for considering the people's wishes and making an effort to carry them Tbe Issue in this campaign is prosper ity and there is no other. The silver question is a rattling skeleton, imperial ism is an inflated bugaboo, the trusts re universal campaign material for all participants. The country Is now pros perous and the conditions which make It so should be maintained. The elec tion of McKinley and Koosevelt will best further this end. It is good judg ment to let well enough alone. Mc Kinley has not been found wanting and as long as things are going well, it is good policy to take the surest way toward continuing them in that direc tion. Ban Francisco bas judge who has faith in boys. A 14 year old lad was brought before him some mouths ago on a cbsrge of robbing Chinese. The judge continued the charge against him and released him without bail on con dition thai lie would report to the court every ail weeks. Tbe judge has con tinued the case of four or five boys on the san.e conditions, in each case sur rounding the boy with good influences. It is gratifying to note that there seems no doubt that the judge will ultimately rescue the boys from their evil ways and save them without conviction of felony and term In the reform school. Tbe free reading room project Is mov ing along steadily. Subscriptions for Its support are being received and also donations of magazines and periodicals. This Is movement that should re ceive 1 he hearty support of all citicuna who are Interested in the good of the community and who have at heart the welfare of the growing boys. Kucha place bas been the need of this town for year past aud now that it is an assured fact we should do all in our power to belp it along. Let it not be again said of Grants Pass that the only place for the boys and young mn to so and spend an evening is to the saloon or cigar store or that the stranger who comes into our city to remain a day or two has no good place to spend his time after transacting his business. A free raiding room well supplied with ruaga sines and periodicals will do more to advertise this town than can possiby be realir.ed. The assault on Koosrvelt in Colorado shows the effect that demagogiiery and political superstition has on the ignorant and vicious human mind. It would not be fair or right to lay the blame of such an occurrence as this to llryan or the democratic party, but such things would probably not occur but for the intemperate ulturrnces ol excited politi cal sneakers, which are taken seriously to heart by thoao of their listeners w ho are possessed ol light minds aud vacant undemtandiug. Political speakers often (ail to remember that their first duty should be to advocate principles and sentiments which aie right and lawful, rather than to make wild and inflam matory statements, even, iu the sup posed interest ol Hie party. When a man or party eacrillcua principle to vote getting, be or it is on a ruinous mad. Mo 011s ol the parties la absolutely free from this mn and it is the duty ol each, to purily itself of it as far aa it is possible to do so. If the political education nfl'ured the voters is not rational, reasonable and conducive to law and order, it is hartulul in an incalculable degree. Intemperate speech is one of the most ruinous agencies iu existence. Change ol Data. . II. 1..

The grand benefit ball given by the Deuiaree orchestra at the opera bouse Kii lay evening, was tbe greatest success nf therea-on both socially and financial ly. The ill tendance was large and all ey they never had a more enjoyable lime st a ball given In (iranls Pass. The reception cummitiee and floor nisnagers were in the rhiht place at all times and did much to nuke the occaaion a pleasing one. The cake walk was participated in hv Mr. snd Mrs. Demaree, Miss Emma Hyde and Fred Koper and this testure was greatly enjoyed by all present, the waiters receiving hearty encores. Cake walking is a new festure added to the dances of this place and it was well received. The general opinion was that Urania Pass bas cake wa'kers that can compel with any of the neighboring towns. The music of the orchestry was sunerb and the terpsichorean art was indulged in 'till the wee.ama' hours. The supper was served by Mrs. Almy, at the Stone i louse and was enjoyed by about 40 couples.

The Intense conservatism of the Ilrit ish character is illustrated in the story of u young Englishman who came to America to seek his fortune and found it in a new process for manufacturing lampblack, soys the Kansas City Star. The principal market for his product was (lerinany, hut he found that the Herman buyers, iu turn, sold it in Eng land. So he conceived the logical idea of going to England and selling the lumpblack direct, which appeared to be certain of success, for he was able to say to the English firms: "Instead of buying my lampblack through (ierinauy and paying for un til I'essury transportation, to say noth ing of the middleman's profit, let lne set.d you the product direct. You can then buy even cheeper than ti.' tier mans, to whom y ou now pay a profit." Ili head of one of the largest houses replied: "lieal'.y.

What the lt?rrhf of German Sciential la Sew Gutaua Have Ilevealed. In a recent issue of the Deutsche Meiliinische Woekenschrif t there is an interesting necount of the discov eries made by Prof. Koch in (iermnn New (iiiinea iu regard to malaria. The professor began his investigations at StephanSort, and learned that 25 per cent, of the population of that place were sulTering from malaria. Out of 21 Europeans. 12 were sick; out of 240 Chinese, C.I; out of 200 Malays. S.'l, and out of 20-1 Melanesians, 29. In New Hanover not a single Melanesian was afflicted with the tnaladv, where as out of l'J Melanesians of (iarilner's island 9 were ill. In King William's Land, as in Java, Prof. Koch found' a large number of native children in fected with the disease, nnd as a re sult he niaiiitaius that only by a thor ough examination of the children can it he ascertained whether any dis trict is infected' or not. The entire coast of King Willinm's Lund is. he thinks. Infected, while the iieighnoring islands set m to be more or less free from the disease. The presence of malaria in some places and not in others may oe accounted for in a measure by the formation of the land and by the unusual activity of the pestiferous Anophelis flies. It would lie unwise, however, says Prof. Koch, to attach too much weight to these factors, nndi especially to the latter, since these Hies are to he found in regions which are wholly free from malaria. GRANTS TO FOREIGN POWERS. The Liberal Territorial Craalitna t'blnn Una Made from Time la Time. Each conflict In which Chins has en gaged has resulted in a loss of terri tory. The principal cessions made bv the Mongol government as the price of peace have been the following: The island of Formosa was tvdnl to Japan in ls'.ii, after the war with China. In ls7 (Icru.auy seized the port of Kiou Chou on the east coast of the Shant ling peninsula, her excuse for so doing be ing a massacre of missionarii s which had taken place there.' Two months later she rccihi'd from China a Ml- ear lease of the port ami district. In lsys Itiissia obtained from China a 25-ear lease of Port Arthur. Taiienwan and their pdjaeent territories and waters. The lease can be extended by mutual agreement. The san.e y ear the Chinese government gave permission for (ireat liritain to occupy V i-Ilai -Wei for as long a period as Knssia shall hold Port Arthur. "To compensate France for the concessions given to (iieat Itrilain and Russia a ll'.t-year lease was given her of the hay of Kwang-Chau Wan. on the coast opposite the island of Hainan, and last year two islands at the en trance of the bay were definitely ceded to her. llong-Kong was ceded to (Ireat liritain in IMI. rorelitn schools In Athens.
