The prevailing drought hiss already assam
cd formidable proportions and serious apprt-
heosions arc being expressed about Tie corn

these CROPS are already seriously irjurcd and
that no amount OF rain will now secure tlil

arc very dry in this lion, and unless We

Imitation Dark Woods.

The appearance Of walnut may be
given to white woods, by painting OF
sponging them with concentrated warm
solution of permanganate of potassa. The
effect is different on different kinds OF
timber, some being stained very rapidly
others requiring more time for this result
The permanganate is decomposed by the
woody fibre; brown perioxyd of mangan-
ese is precipitated' which is afterward re
moved by washing with water. The
wood, when dry, may be vanished, and
will be found to resemble very closely the
naturally dark woods

not sound policy dictate such education OF the
colored population as would prepare them in
teigently to exercise the elective franchise, and
as citizens, to judge for themselves of the proper
workings of our political system, and not be
msled by the crafts and clamors OF designing
and interruptions politicians? Education among
the cOlored people of the State would have
beneficial effect In rendering them more valua-
BILE in any position they may be destined to
fill. II would doubtless render them as class
more virtuous and prOvident, and better MEM
bers of the community in which they live. 1t is
not proposed to add to the burdens of taxation
for the purpose of educating the eolorea popula-
tion, nor TO suggest that colored children be adj
mitted into the schools with the whites; but that
the taxes which are paid by the colored tax
payers for school purposes be set apart for the
education of the colored children, and that edu-
catonal facilities be extended to this class of our
population, and such encouragement given as
will show that we have due consideration for
their welfare and prosperity.
The Governor argues at great length against
the fifteenth amendment, and, of course, OPP
poses its adoption very warmly.
COMPENSATION FOR RMANCIPATED SLAVES.
On this subject he says:-That the State of
Maryland has just, and the strongest claim,
upon the United States for the value OF her
emancipated slaves, there can be no equitable
doubt, and submit this claim for your action,
as required no less 10y a sense of justice, than
from the necessities of large number OF our
citizens, who, in yielding up this property to
the mandate of the State made in accordance
with the invitation of the President of the United
States, subjected themselves to imme-
diate ruin. No argument is necessary to
su6stantiate this clain. 1t may be that
the present condition of national
finances will not justify the payment, or the
present temper of the Congress Of the United
States will not now sanction the acknowledge
ment of this just claim, but it is none the less
your duty and mine to continue to assert it, to
the end that ultimate justice may be done the
people of the State who have so largely suffered
from this cause. / cannot hope for any imme-
time the amplest justice will be accorded us,
and therefore suggest, at present. merely the
passage of resolutions respectfully, but firmly
demanding compensation at the earliest date
that the exigencies of the National Treasury
will allow.

The Chinese Question.

The San Francisco Bulletin publishes Off
cial statistics showing the arrival at that port
of a total of 13S, $50 Chinese immigrants,
consigned to the six companies, as follows
Ming Yeang, 46, SG7; Yeang Wo, rs, ,207; Hop
Wo, 25,002; See Yup, 1911; Sam Yup,
15,023; San On, 1876. These six companies
are officially recognized by the Emperor of
China, and they keep careful guardianship
OF all the persons consigned to them. Their
records show that 37,323 have returned to
China alive, and that the dead bodies of 10, 426
have been sent home for interment leaving
total of 1887 now on the Pacific coast.
OF these about 1000 are in California,
10000 in Montana, 10000 in Idaho, $500
along the Pacific Railroad, 5000 in Oregon,
1000 in Nevada, and 1000 elsewhere scattered.
Of the Chinese in California 81, 700 are adult
males, 1890 adult females, 1000 children, 1907
old and decrept; and 1873 in jail San Fran
cisco has Il 900 Chinese inhabitants, 1876 of
whom are merchants, butchers, bakers, etc.,
764 laundry men, 27S0 cigar makers, 1880 do
mestic servants, 1900 operatives $50 shoe
Makers II doctors, 1G artists, etc Only 1000
are put down as ''laborers, and 20 as rag and
offal gatherers. 1t further appears that -, 761
have arrived from China during this year, and
that the returning tide Gncluding dead bodies)
carried back 13, 104: so that there were, on
the 20th of November 343, less active names
on the books of the companies than there
were on the 1st of January.
The six companies collect and remit to
China the savings of their wards, sending
from 500, 900 to 100000 by each steamer.
This amount is made up of small sums,
mainly to aid the immigration of friends
hither, precisely as our Irish and German
fellow-citizens have done for years. The
Chinese who come to this country are not
Goodies" They are for the most part edu-
Gated men, and are all of them free agents
Their religious and social prejudices are such
that in coming to America they do not cease
to be Chinese. They will not for many years,
if ever, naturalize as American citizens. Only
through allegiance to the Celestial Empire
that is seen do they hope to attain the
Celestial that is unseen. Even their bones
must be buried in the native soil or the
unfortunate dead is damned. The bone
| gatherers of the six companies are active
workers. No Chinese is buried in America,
nor yet at sea. These curious people will not
| separate from the companionship of friends
| or go beyond the reach of their companions,
| lest the dread evil of unknowM burial befall
| them. With these facts, which have been
| often presented and are incontrovertible, the
| ''Chinese question" resolves itself into this:
| whether we will have the cheap and faithful
labor that comes to us from the Orient; and
whether, having it, we will protect the la.
borer in those inalienable rights which are
| guaranteed to the humblest citizen. The
| bugaboo that America will ever be ruled by the
Chinese is already losing force. 1t will never
become more than a question" in oui
| polite.
