Farmers in Debt;

Some of our exchanges arc
descantisg on the ruin surc To fol-
low gottiny in debt to carry on
farming operations. Gao farmer,
who stopped giving and asking
credit few years ago, records it
as his experience that he can now
nuy moro than hc ever bought
before and soil moro. The case
is mentioned of Tie Freacl,, who
never g" in debt, and who, having
been saving money since tho days
of the First Napoleon, have be-
come tie richest nation in tho
world. which is proved by tho fact
that the German indemnity Of a
thousand millions Of dollars which
they were oLliy yed TO pay has been
all discharged in two years, while
we have been struggling for eight
years with twice ne much. Per-
haps the wealth of the French
farmers arises as much from the
small farm system and the high
cultivation they give to soil. Thore
is a vast difference in farming in
a loose way and having all work
done in the best manner. - Es-.

Secret Of the Chinese IHQuiSition.

The examination of the charges
of conspiracy against the members
of the mysterious Chinese tribun.
al has been deferred until next
Tuesday, and in the meantime
the police arc making every effort
to secure evidence for their con.
viction. The safe taken from the
council room Still remains at the
police headquarters. The Coles
tials refuse to open it for an in
speciion Of its contents. The Gu
riosity to know what it Contains is
intense, many believing that tales
of the Spanish inqnisltioh would
pale before the tarllingrevelaticns
which an inspection of the records
of this society (supposed to lie in
the safe) would bring to light. On
the other hand there are those
who regard the Chinese as too
cunning to place OH record any
OF the more serious judgments oi
this council.
Their mode OF procedure with
doomed offender is dark and
secret. A hired assassin is chosen
among the lower classes, the vic
tim pointed out, and the assassin
is offered a certain SUN, generally
spposed to be 1000, to put him
ont of the way. The man who is
thus condemned is not appr;scd
of his sentence, but the hired as.
sassin dogs his steps and watches
his opportunity. AT time when
he least suspects it tho quick
dagger pierccs him from bchind,or
the favoritc weapon ofthe Chinese,
the murderous hatchet, cleaves
his brain, and he falls a victim to
this "fcarful power" His body
is either cut into pieces and burn
ed, secretly buried, or placed in
sack and anchored in the bay. His
boiics do not return to the home
government for this non. compli-

rules is unknown, but Chinese in
