THE CHINESE STRIKE,

The rooont strike Of tho Chiucso Criapins, in
North Adams, Mass, is ono Of the mont amusing
OH record. It appears that tho services Of tho
celestial ghoemakors werc contracted to the pro-
prlotor Of the factory, hlr. Sampson, by Charley
Sin, for 10 much per annum. Charley Sin eoon,s
to llave boon q noar relative Of that bland aud
childlks hoathon Chinoo who played the mono
rable game of ouchro, md Ao understood his
t}amo. Ho received o handsome compensation
himaolf, aud ho paid hia co,ntrymon moagre

bought thom poor quality OF rico, mud he
clcatod tho1n OIL tho freiglt from Troy, whore
the rico was purchased. lii addition, llo re-
ceivod handsome presents and commissions from
merchants for purchasing from them. Eyory-

tho brief space Of timo ho haA boon In tliB

Indian Agent, ring spocnlator, grain
gamblor, and a pawubroker, rolled into ono,
could hardly surpasH him In sharpness, cu,-

Tho result OF all thlB waB that Charley Sin was

wore rapidly gptting poorer. Thoy conll not
uudorataud this conundru1n, until it waa solved
for thom by uorao Of tho American residents Of
North Adams, who had takon violent dislike to

Stump arc naturally prone to doal in
round numbers. Thus Dir. Morton tells us that
President Grants Administration has paid or
$3.50, 900, 600 Of the public debit aud reduced tax
ntion s1s0,00o. Accepting thoso round numbers,
wo have boon untlo1 tho Impression that it VAS
the people, by means Of taxation, and not Gen.
Grants Administration, that Ind made 30 large
hole in the public dobt within the past
five yenrs. What h1r. Morton ought to
havo figured out WAS, how much moro of tho
public dobt the pnoplo would hayo paid Off in tho
same time, if the Republican party had not di-
7crtcd largo portion Of tho actual taxation to
tho enrichment OF special interests. If all tho
money which the people havo paid out in taxea
nnd duties had boon added to the revenue, and
all tho reduction which has been made hnd been
taken from the special intoroats now under pro-
lection, Nlr. Morton could have mndo still bot
tor showing for Gen. Grants Administration in
this particular, though it is d mattor with which
Con. Grant and Lis personal Administration have

The leading Democratic journals in all sec
tlons are showing a disposition to return to the
old party camps, and to fight one more battle
at least under the old banners. When the
famous Allen county resolutions were first
published there was a warming on all sides,
and for u time it looked as if it only needed
signal from some prominent leader to start
stampede along the whole line. But each
waited ior the other, and so all stood still.
Now the reaction has come, and the more
literally disposed Democratic organs are holding
language like this in the st. Louis RepuJEcau
concerning the invitation of the the Liberal
Republicans: The Democracy are strongly
inclined to go into the next battles under their
own banners, aud some Democratic organs are
declaring that they will not fight under any
other. But if the Liberals will win single
local battle-it they will, by any reasonable
combustion, carry Ohio and New York, or
either of them, this Fall, we believe they will
be able to secure all the Democratic votes they
may need tor future engagements. What more
can they ask?
