There are changes in popular life which
make themselves known by waits and strays.
To tho great movement OF the stream be-
low corresponds the drift OF straws upon
the surface. And thus it happens that the
superficial observer sometimes discovers
what the philosophic thinker has vainly
sought for. Like DR.. Johnson's shepherd,
the former notices the manGuvrcs Of
the sheep with their tails, (lct the kind read
CT par an expressive IIibernicsm,) and
predicts storm, while the latter prepares
himself for drenching by watching the
trees and the sky.
During the last half century great change
has been going on in the character of our
population. immigration, after having re-
ccycd the irregular supplies afforded by Eng
land and France, by Ireland and Germany,
was wcll-nigh monopolized for time by the
Irish, rs it is now by the Germans. The
latter are rapidly filling the waste places OF
the country and leavenng the public opin-
ion Of its inhabitants. We have seen this
shifting Of the tide in Charleston. Years
and years ago, the retail traffic of the city
was commanded by the Frcnchman; then

of it has been saved by greater efficiency and
honesty of administration. We have about
thirty eight and a half millions of people;
there has been saved in nine months $71, ,903,-
525 the new administration has therefore
saved for every man. woman, and child in the
country $1'S7, or at the rate of $3.50 per
capita in taxes of all kinds, to Government.
Out of nine dollars and fifty cents, we are
now saving and applying to the reduction OF
the debt two dollars and fifty cents per capita,
which was formerly wasted or stolen.
Now if Government will Just do two other
things, the people will be very glad we
don't want to pay the debt at presents this
generation has borne burdens enough. Re-
duce the taxation to seven dollars per cGpHa.
Let the people have the two dollars and fifty
cents per capita to help them in their indus
try and their living
And second, we don't want to pay taxes
which do not go to the Government. We are
prying taxes to monopolists of which Gov
ernment gets not one cent, amounting to at
least one hundred millions more, or two dol
lars and sixty cents per capita. Take OIL that
burden too Let us pay the seven dollars
per capita to Government, which is required
to meet expenses and interest on the debt.
And then let us not pay the two dollars and
sixty cents which the Government does not
get, or the two dollars and fifty cents which
is now applied to payment of debt There IS
our financial creed, briefly stated. The Gov
ernment needs seven dollars per capita. Let
us be taxed to pay that, and nothing else !!

from the 81. Louis Democrat.
That is the rate at which, under the present
administration, we are paying off tho debt.
Just $71 1903, ,525 in nine months; $7,9S9, ,280
for each month"; ST. 800 for each week;
$266, 300 for each day; $11, ,O93 for each hour;
1884 for each minute; and $3'04 for each
second.
Without increase of taxation, remember! 4!
The taxes are not a bit higher than they were
in the last year of Mr. Johnson's administra-
ton, when we did not reduce the debt. The
people pay the same sum of money, but
seventy-two millions more of that money goes
to reduction of the debt, which was then
wasted in needless expenditures or stolen by
corrupt officials. The new administration,
therefore, saves of the peoples money three
dollars a second. AS compared with his pre-
decessor, President Grant has saved of the
peoples money every day more than his
whole salary for the year. That sort of
public servant pays!
We do not believe that this rate of taxa
ton ought to continue. 1t was necessary
under Johnson; it is not necessary now. But
while ID does continue, we believe that the
money paid by the people ought to be neither
wasted nor stolen, and rejoice that 80 much

so in the California penitenhary, out of a
total OF 700 convicts there. An estimate gives
the proportion of white convicts in the prison

latlon, and the proportion of Chinese as out

showing balance in our favor of $5, 1853, 1853.
The exports consisted besides treasure, of
manufactured goods, flour, quicksilver, lum-
Der, wheat, fish, fruits, and oats; the imports
were miscellaneous goods teas, sugar, rice,
nut oil, and opium. The report, incidentally
alluding to the bullion trade of China, men
tions that it amounted in 1868 to $S7, ,337, 219,
and that the general trade of Hong Kong ex-
ceeds 800, 100000 annually.
On the point of personal habits, the report
informs us that they are industrious, remark
ably sober, punctual in fulfilling engagements,
and religious in their way; and their system
of marriage, if not in accord with our notions,
is mot much worse than Mormonism or free
love-" The idea that they live on rice and
garbage is scouted they are as fond of good
living as other people, and enjoy it when they
can afford to. Nearly all the large American
stores have Chinese signs on their windows,
and keep Chinese clerks, to solicit Chinese
custom. Still, there IS strong opposition to
them from certain classes of people, and the
society from which this report emanates was
organized to afford them protection.

FACTS ABOUT THE CHINESE.

From the Missouri Republican.
We have before us the report of the Board
of Trustees of the San Francisco Chinese
Protection Society, which affords some inte-
resting facts and statistics concerning peo-
pie in whom we are now somewhat concerned,
and about whom we are eager to gather all
accessible information.
The Chinese, it would appear, are people
thoroughly addicted to system in business.
Those in California, from the richest to the
poorest, from the merchant to the rag-picker,
are all directly or indirectly under the super
vision of what are called the ''Six Companies, "
organizations similar to our express compa-
nies, which manage the whole business of emf
grafton. These companies are governed by
board of trustees residing in California, but
having their chief officers in China directly
under the control of the Chinese Government
They keep a record of every man, woman, and
child who arrives in San Francisco, also list
of all who return, die, or leave California. The
number of the dead is ascertained by the bones
carried back to China-for every Chinaman
who dies abroad is religiously transported
back to his native land for sepulture. The
agents of the ''Six Companies" along the Pa
cihc coast carefully gather the dead and send
them to San Francisco, for shipment to Hong
Kong. Those who die at sea are not COM
mittd to the waves, but likewise carried home
for interment. The savings of the Chinese
are collected and remitted to their native land
by the Companies These savings amount
from 800, 900 to 100000 by each steamer, the
sum being made out by contributions which
vary from So to 800. They are sent to the
poor friends and relatives of the donors, az
presents, or to aid them to migrate to the
United States. The total arrivals of Chinese
on the Pacific coast have been 1873, ,536; o.

and 80, S37 still remain. There are now Al, 00t

A CURIOUS WILL.-Elizabeth A. Berry,
a colored woman who has been quite exten-
sively known in this city as fortune teller
or ''wise woman" died not many days ago
leaving will which is curious in the de-
tailed instructions given by it relative to
the manner and style in which she desired
to be buried. The instrument reads, in part,
as follows: "When | am prepared for the
grave, my resting place, l wish to be dressed
in citizens clothes. l wish to be dressed,
in every respect, as l would for the street.
Two rings upon my fingers; ear rings in my
ears; white silk stockings; Congress CATERS
of the best material; white kid gloves. y
After some further details relating to under
clothing the will proceeds TO direct that the
best black silk dress of the deceased shall
be placed upon her person, with no cap up
on her head, but ''tasty head-dress' in
stead, and that she shall be buried in Forest
Lawn Cemetery, with six carriages at the
iuneral and with no 'undue weeping" on
the occasion. The latter injunction was
probably complied with, as the deceased
left no nearer relatives to mourn her death
than step-son, living at distance, to
whom most of her little property (about
Sl2, 1000 in amount) was bequeathed.-B
