cs.m in the remark made by the Gin
ciuati Commercial yesterday morning
"Fcreign residents In China being to
feel uneasy. There ia growing hos
,iity to them. They are treated al-
most as uncivilly as the Chinese in Cal
iiornis.
1t must be cor fessed that the treat-
msut OF the Chinese in this country has
been lily calculated to falfil the expec.
tstions which might naturally spriug
from the labors of Christian missionaries
in Chins. The Chinsmau who is led
bv the efforts of our teachers to en-
brace our religion and admire our civil
lzstiou aud 10 believe that in America
the Golden Rulei is the common
guide OF conduct between man and man,
!. destined 10 q very rude awakening
when he arrives in California and dis
covers that he is treated with greater
indignities than are usually bestowed
upon foreigners and intu ders
in China. The United States is q
Christian nation, but it is q
melancholy fact, OF which the mission
aries in foreign lands should not neg
lect to inform their hearers, that 3 ma.
jority OF the American people are rot
Christians 10 their treatment OF one
snother or OF the stranger who may
chance within their gates.

NONE OF the various schemes OF local
improvement which have recently been
discussed in these columns have ye,
been carried into execution, but it mus,
not be inferred f-om the silence OF the
past few days that public Intereet in
these matters has abated or ths,
nothing is being actually done. The
North Wheeling tunnel or cut, the Elm
Grove railway, the Benwood railway
the suburban hotel, are all live pro
jscts to-day and are still engaging the
thoughts OF practical and earnest men,
From present appearances, the Elm
Grove Railway will be the first Of these
several schemes OF improvement to be
completed and put into practical use.
The gentlemen who are most interested
10 this desirable work are quietly but
sssiduously and effectively prosesut-
ing the enterprise and We are
Informed that the project
will soon assume tangible shape. We
cannot but believe that the stock OF
to. company will be readily sold, and
tina, in q very few years it will prove 8
profitable investment.
The present summer ought not to be
permitted to pass without witnessing g
the execution OF some decisive sud we'll
