Siutcnsu mil w men duted in the Sena Leglctature by so good ator 11 . i uougnion, dui iu .hj mind there Is something else or some ons elae behind the measure; for it i. sweeping and appears to be designed to work mischief to several peopli : first, by annoyance, and second. In that Section 23 of the bill provides that people burned by the explosion of oil, aold tn violation of this law, ca l recover damages from the parties wbsold the oil. I say these are two dangerous fea tures, such hb are likelv to caue trouble, tiut there is another feature that Is still more objectionable from an economical standpoint, and that is to allow the appointment of all these Inspectors bv the Governor, and while the pay provided Is small It creates a pull that the State should not, and does not need to stand sponsor for. The present Governor went Into ofllce on the back of corporations, and It seems that the cry now is to gUu Mm a chance to get even ln soma way, if not by one, then by another. D14 anybody guess that Standard O'l aimed at in this? C W. HUNT. j The bill follows: Section 1. That all kerosene or ether illuminating oils put up in bar rets or packages shall be tested and the quality determined by some in spector duly appointed for that pu--pose, and said barrels or pa ka-res hal! have upon them the official tamp or brand of such Inspector letters and figures not less than two inches in length.

Why Do Turks Assume Repellent At titude Toward Mikado's People? New York Sun: The Constantinople correspondent of one of our contemporaries ex plains Turkey's Repellent attitude to ward Japan ln the matter of diplo matic Inter-course and ex-territorlal regime by ascribing to Abdul Hamld a degree of foresight and sagacity with which he Is not always credited. He Is said not to have shared the complacency with which his subjects beheld th humiliation of their olfl enemy Russia by the Japanese, and to have asserted that h!s own authority would be weakened by the Dlow dealt at the prestige of the only autocratic systems, except his own, surviving in Europe. The Ottoman sorverelgn Is said to have predicted that one out come of the tzar s disastrous exper ience In Manchuria would be some compromise with the prlnyriple of rep resentative institutions, and that such a precedent, following that estab- llshed by Japan, would almost cer- tnlnly provoke a demand from the PROFESSIONAL CARDS DR.

Is concerned. But why should the Turkish reformers now appear to share the anti-Japanese prejudices of their sovereign? They are evincing the utmost eagerness to reproduce the institutions, political, econom-rcal and educational, of Western Europe; how.lthen, can they help feeling and showing honest ad miration for an Oriental people which already Is far advanced In the path on which they thsmselves have only entered? That nevertheless the Japa nese people, considered as a mass, seem not merely unattractive, but even antipathetic to the Turka must manifestly be accounted for on sAma other theory, as, for Instance, a deep sested abhorrence of a nation which frorn the Mohammendan point of view does not recognise a God.
