DIT. ALLEN TALKS ABOUT CHINA.
StatesvUle Landmark.
"Sunday morning and evening Dr.
Young J. Allen addressed large, con
gregations at the Methodist church on
the situation in China, with which he
is thoroughly conversant. Dr. Allen's
native home is in Georgia, but in 1860
he and Dr. M. L. Wood, of North
Carolina, were sent as missionaries of
the Southern Methodist. Church to
China, where Dr. Allen has since re
mained. During this time he has been
employed by the Chinese government
as counselor, translator, educator and
author, lie wrote the official history
of the Chinese-Japanese war, which
was accepted by each government. He
is a statesman and Christian .scholar.
His address was on a much higher and
-different plane than is usual from re
turned missionaries.
' Dr. Allen began by giving a very
elaborate explanation of the present
situation in China and the conditions
which brought it about. In speaking
of the Boxer uprising he especially em
phasized the fact that the Boxers did
not represent China proper but were'
Tartars, bandits and outlaws who had
united themselves together to drive out
all foreigners from the empire; They
were opposed to any reform or improve
ment of any kind ana were against any
foreigners who went to China advoca
ting changes. China proper i-not op-,
posed to reform and is therefore as of
fensive to the Tartars as the foreign in-
trudefs'. "
Dr. Allen "said the American mis
sionary societies ana noaras nave a
mistaken idea of the Chinese and the
manner of reaching them. They have
money and numerous resources of
wealth, and they must be reached as
any other nation or as America itself
waa developed through commerce and
missions. It is useless to try to force
a thing on the Chinese unless they see
a need for it, but when they have been
fully satisfied that what you represent
is better than what they have, it ia an
easy matter. Don't try to establish
Christianity there by attacking Budd
hism but show them what you repre
sent" is superior. A great mistake is
made in sending missionaries there to
serve three or four years and then re-
Calling them' and replacing new ones
in their stead. There should De an m
stitution similar to the civil service to
reap the best results. Missionary work
should not be confined to the slums of
a nation but reform the influence and
intelligence first. - '

waste may be excused as unavoidable.
The situation of popular sentiment in
dicates that public waste and extrava
gance exist, and that in some degree
they are familiar enough to give rise to
popular toleration and condonation.
Probably no one will have the hardi
hood to deny that the cost of our gov
ernment is excessive and .wasteful, and
there is ground for the suspicion that
for this condition the heedless neglect
and indifference of our people are in
some degree responsible. They are not,
however, to be charged with deliberately
and willfully approving the scale of
waste and extravagance too often ap
parent in these latter days. Indeed, a
tremendous roar of applause was re-
cently heard throughout the land when
nv umuuiuu, u cu
down with extravagant miquitjT waa
talked to death in the closing hours of
the last BAaainn nf th llnitfn Stfttja
the last session of the United States
Senate.
In an official interview with the
chairman of the committee on rivers
and harbors a number ; of years ago,
the President suggested the preparation
of a bill in which there should be in
cluded appropriations forTonly such im
provements of rivers and harbors as
were conceaedly important to pur com
mercial interest, leaving other items,,
unnecessary or of questionable pror
priety, if they must be presented, to
abide, by their merits or demerits, in a
separate measure. This suggestion
seemed to excite surpise on the part -of
the chairman, who immediately de
clared that it would be impossible to
make a start in his committee toward
framing a bill on any such theory.
Other instances of extravagance in
the use of public funds are found in
appropriations for the' erection of pub
lic buildings in diuerent parts oi tne
country, professedly for the accommo
dation of local Federal officials. : Tbere
can be no doubt that these buildings
are often erected without justification
in public necessity, and that in many
cases, when justified, their size anc
cost are far beyond any pretense of
public need. There are many commu
nities whose members iook every day
upon public buildings, the erection of
which has benehted the citizens who
sold to the government the Bites upon
which the building stand, and which
have been Droll table to other citiaens who
furnished material qr were employed
in their construction, while last, but not
least, they have demonstrated the dili
gence of their Congressional representa
tives and their ability to secure expen
diture of public money in their dia-
trigts, but yet they all know perfectly
well that in a business light and upon
a liberal estimate of public need these
buildings are monuments and: remind
ers of public waste and extravagance.
"Another astounding occasion of
public waste and extravagance has
grown out of the abuse of our nation's
tender regard for those who suffered in
its defense. Through the efforts of un
principled pension agents and attorneys
a lavish administration of extremely
liberal general pension laws has. result
and these have been largely, increased
by thousands of pensions granted by
special laws to those- who have failed
for want of merit under general statutes.
These beneficiaries have thus learned
that earnest support pf ' a party leader,
or a pledge of partisan return for
especial Congressional favor, may he
relied on aa promising subetituteg for
pensionable disability.
"The amount expended on account
of pensions during the year ending
June 30, 1885, was slightly over f56,-
000.000. Twenty years had thon elans-
""h vv v . " v. ,

of pension legislation and administraT

that was a beautiful prayer sent op
to heaven by our beloved grand chap
lain, Rev. J. William Jones, the faith
ful bulwark of confederate history. I
know that the blue and the gray clasp
ed hands and hearts as he invoked a
blessing uirhi Mr. and Mrs. McKinley,
and for her restoration to health. I
tell you, my brethren, there is nothing
small or selfish or mean in the hearts,
of oiir great leaders., In war and in
peace they have been ,and are gentle
men, there was not a Aero or.a duke
of Alva among them nor, a heartless
destroyer of the innocent nor a violator
of the. laws of kindness to women and
children. Our soldiers fought a good
fight on patriotic principles, and it re
joices us that they have kept the faith
and are as true now to the nation as
they; were then to the princiiJes for
which they fought. Those principles
re not dead; and we believe that if
his republican government is preserved
from the domination of imieriali8m,
with which it is threatened, it will be
the conservative spirit of the south
that will do it. The spirit of constitu
Jional liberty is yet alive with us and
will be transmitted to our children. It
is high time that the northern preach
rere nd teachers and editors were learn
ins -saiutary lesson from these an
nual reunions of the old confederates.

Bay, "My brethren, those rebejs must
haye been ' tremendously in earnest,
mere is no let-up or abatement in
their faith. Forty years has' not hum
bled them one iota. , We had . better
make friends with such A people and
divide honors aed pensions, too. They
have carried an awful load for all these
years. Ihey have to pay a good part
of the pensions to pur soldiers and all
of the pensions to their own and a big
tax to educate their negroes; and they
had to endure the ravages and steal
ages of the carpet-oaggers for years,
but they nevet complain. They fight
back and defend their honor, but, like
the sons of Alnomok, they neyej com
plain. Surely they are a great people, i
They suffer,-and we strong, and when
soldiers were wanted for Cuba and the
Philippines they came at the first call.
Brethren, let's stop all this anti-southern
sentiment and make our preachers
and editors stop it. There is no, good
in rubbing an old sore. We don't
know what may happen, and we may
need those boys to help save tbe, coun
try. The old veterans are dying . out,
but their sons are the same old stock.
The south is fast coming to the front,
and is destined to be a grea,t power in
the land, and f we keep on aggravat
ing them with abuse, it is possible they
may get fighting mad some of these
days and get up another civil war and
and and whip us again, or come
pretty near it." That's what I would
say if I wasent a fool.
- These are alarming times.. Wars,
fires, floods. Awful calamities on land
and on the Bea, explosions in mines,
wrecks on railroads, murders, suicides,
robberies, abductions of children, and
worse than all, there seems to be no
ptpp to these horrible outrages of bru

And the consequence is our .colleges
have no discipline and hazing seems
to be as popular as ever. I thought
that this hazing business was a modern

great many of them are exposed, while
others are not. The number wifl
probably reach a hundred. The lore
tion of the rravea is eeeily detected by

been stirred only a short tine.

washed out of the ground on could be
quickly found by probtag with A stick.
Host, of the bonre were so decomposed
that they broke At the alignteai touch.
while others were not ao brittle, Alt
evidences go to show that the Indiana

broken vase or medicine cup with
pictures of flowers traced on it. ' He
also found a pipe that is well preaerved.
Among the relics brought to town by
the party from States vi lie were bone,
pieces of skull, arrowheads, bead and
some very fine specimens of dressing
knives.
Dr. H. F. Long secured from Mr.
Keetler the pipe found by tbe bitter
And this is now on exhibition At Tun
stall's drug store. The pipe ia made
of clay and very much resemble tbe
ordinary clay tape in use now except
that it ia a little heavier and the neck,
or stem, is longer. It is in good eon
dition and with A little cleaning would
give good service to a amocer.
