A San Francisco correspondent writes
that private opinion In California Is In
favor OF the Chinese, and that they are ca
, pable, honest and Industrious workmen. AT
the same time In public the system of Chi
nese labor Is opposed. The fact is that the
question has been pushed by demagogues
into politics, and, as Is not unfrequently the
case, men find themselves forced by party
machinery or party Influence to vote and
talk one way while they think exactly the
, opposite. With our mines to be opened
and worked, our railways to be built, and
the new regions brought under cultivation,
there can be no successful crusade for many
years against cheap labor, come whence II
may"
The people OF Connecticut are suffering
at present from sickness to which hitherto
they have been almost utter strangers. Fol
generations they have been exempt from
that most uncomfortable malady, the fever
and ague, which now has become almost
epidemic throughout the State, shaking not
only the inhabitants but their nearly uni
| ver.al belief that malarial disorders were
+ impossible on their soil The cause Is

) We are glad to learn, from the Jackson
vile (Fla.) Union, that no portion of Florida
Is sinking, as has been reported. The story
to that effect, which appeared In the Palatka
Herad which has been extensively copied
by northern papers, has not shadow Of
foundation In fact. "While this canard, I"
says the Union, "may have been considered
good Joke In Paatka, where the people
fprobably understood Ii, 1t becomes serious
matter when spread over the entire country
as an actual 0ccurance and will work ire
parable mischief by frightening away in
tended immigration to that section Of the
state Orange county, and by bringing Flor
Ida into bad repute.
The English newspapers are complaining
Of the increased extravaganza Of living In
their capitol, and impute II to the American
example. They say that in America, where
fortunes are easily made and millionaires
become more numerous every day, this has
become an era OF. OstentatiOus and extrav-
agance which ls being followed In England,
and they call upon the higher ranks of so
TO begin decrease In expensive expendi-
ture, for, rays the Spectator, :" we see moth

An Easton, Pennsylvania. paper tells u
I about man who has been indicted In tina
town for the. larceny Of canal barge an,

. march off with It. And yet we will not as
sert that sueha feat Is wholly impossible
because 1t hasnot been very long since W
read, somewhere In the papers, that a bo,
Of thirteen, named McGraw, had run ava
