aimed at. The Chinese were mercenary, he
said, and there were scores OF them who
would sacrifice even their loved pig-tails for
a few American dollars The result OF the
bill would, therefore, be to prevent the en-
ployment on the road OF pig-tailed Chinese,
who, it is admitted, are Of the better class Of
the despised heather, and open the door to
those atheistical and renegade Mongolians
who are willing to sacrifice their queue and
their religious convictions for gold. This ar
gument was conclusive and defeated the bill
OF the Columbian statesman. The latter is
Disguised with the result, and is now striving
to accomplish his end by prohibiting the en-
ployment OF men with oblique or almond
eyes on the road, If not Of making the Chinese
complexion a ground for refusing them equal
rights and privileges.

There seems to be a fair prospect OF put
ting an end to Schurz's Prussian tactics in
regard to the timber business by impeach-
ment, If no other means can be made availa-
BILE. These proceedings, which are without
the slightest warrant Of law, are SO wanton in
their disregard of private rights, as well as
in their cruelty and inhumanity to thousands
of innocent poor people, that Congress should
lose no time in bringing this Hessian re-
former to his senses.
He has been asking from Congress an ap-
preparation for the purpose of carrying out
his processes, and this has been taken advan-
tage OF by Senator Eustis to ventilate the
disgraceful acts of his henchmen in Louis
lana and other Southern States. These men,
as Senator Eustis suggested, instead of being
rewarded, should be dismissed in disgrace
from the service, and the Secretary of the
Interior impeached for his arbitrary and I'M
authorized course in the matter.

a Il 1Es4-
4 Mr.. Ebert w. Brown, an official Of the New
York School Board, seems to be true be-
lever Id Franklin's theory Of take care Of
the pennies and the pounds will take care of
themselves" tits notorious fact that Tweed
despoiled the city Of New York q few years
ago OF several million dollars; Brown is anx-
ious to prevent similar occurrences in future
and to protect the interests of New York from
overcharges Of any kind. The other day in
reporting to the school board the salaries of
the teachers in the Eighteenth Ward evening
school, he suggested that these ought to be
slightly reduced, as follows: Miss Katie
Newell, for being one minute late in attend
five minutes late, ten cents. Another teacher
was cut down twenty-one cents, making a
total saving to the city of thirty-three cents
When this reduced payroll was submitted
TO the auditor of the Board Of Education he
loudly approved of Mr.. Browns suggestion,
but called attention to the fact that he had
overassessed the teachers one-third, two and
four cents respectively. Morally Brown was
right, automatically he was wrong. With
these suggested changes the bill was ap-
proved, and the teachers will, accordingly, be
paid their salaries after the correct reduc-
tions have been made.
The whole affair shows a noble devotion to
the interests Of the city on the part Of Mr..
Brown. With such terrific two-cent watch
dog Of the treasury, the money Of that city
ought to be safe, indeed.

That never ending Chinese question is dis
turbing the harmony of British Columbia.
The white Columbians swore solemn oath
not to employ Chinese cheap labor under
any circumstances; to wear their shirts from
years end to years end in preference to clean
linen washed, starched and ironed by the
degraded heathens. There was, therefore,
fair prospect of starving out the Celestials by
these means until the Canadian government
resolved on the building of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, and announced desire for
10000 laborers for grading purposes. The
Chinese Immediately stepped forward and
offered their services at lower rates than any
body else.
Here was an opportunity to build the road,
and build it cheaply, but much as the Column
bans want this line-and they threatened a
few years ago to secede from the Dominion
and join the United States if it was not built
they prefer to do without it rather than have
it built by Chinese labor.
To prevent the possibility of this, Column
bian representative in the Dominion Parlia-
ment, Bunsted by name has introduced bill
in that body, providing that no person shall
be employed in any capacity in the construc-
ton of the G. P. road wearing his hair longer
than five and one-half inches.
The bill Is evidently a plagiarism on one
now in full operation in California, furnishing
petty offenses by cutting the hair short-a
bill evidently framed against the Chinese
and which caused the greatest excitement
and alarm among them, and, it was claimed,
was productive Of much good.
The Canadian bill has been the subject of
much debate in the Dominion parliament.
No one thought Of complaining against it be-
cause it struck at the Chinese, but some op-
position was shown to it, because, as it was
claimed, it would preclude as well the en-
ployment of female cooks and washerwomen
for the laborers on the road, and as these
necessary professions are monopolized by
women and Cinnamon would leave these I'M
unfortunate laborers to starve to death.
The Canadian Parliament, however, was
disposed to overlook this point; reasoning
that II the women insisted on wearing their
hair long, they must suffer the consequences,
and the bill would probably have passed, had
not a Scotch member suggested that per
haps If would not accomplish al that II

The old scheme Of making Mississippi City
q great sea port and rival Of New Orleans
has been revived by the Legislature of our
sister State OF Mississippi. A short time be-
fore that body adjourned bill was passed by
1t donating large tract Of land to the Ship
island, Ripley and Kentucky Railroad and
granting that road the right to use the labor
of the State convicts in it's construction Bills
have also been introduced In Congress in aid
Of the enterprise, and great efforts will be
made by the people of Mississippi to construct

completed Mississippi City will be the ter
minus OF the road, and as other lines are ex-
pected to concentrate at that town, it is hoped
and thought in Mississippi that the little
coast city will develop into great port, a
comm ercial rival OF New Orleans, and that
Mississippi can thus ship her produce to
Europe through home. port, instead Of
through this city.
The scheme Is no new one; it has been
suggested dozen times already. A num-
Der of years ago costly wharf was built at
Mississippi City to accommodate the COM
merce that, it was expected. would come to
that port. A few years ago st. Louis took up
the idea again, and for few weeks the Jour-
nails OF that city teemed with communications
on the desirability and necessity of securing a
cheap Gulf port, where the shippers OF st.
Louis would not be subject to the heavy port
charges OF New Orleans. But like all such
schemes the enterprise fell through at last,
and st. Louis returned to New Orleans as the
only safe and cheap exporting port for West
ern produce.

Mrs, Pitman Oremated,

WAsHINGToN, Pa, Feb. Is.
The cremation of the remains of Mrs
Benjamin Pitman, of Cincinnati, was
successfully accomplished this after
noon, the operation lasting less than
two hours. On the arrival of the train
bearing the remains the body was taken
directly to the crematory. The casket
was of cherry with an unvarnished ma
hogany cover, beautifully carved, pre-
sented by the Cincinnati School of De-
sign, of which Mrs Pitman was MEM
Der. 1t was lined inside with white
satin Mr.. Pitman and Mr.. Plympton,
of Cincinnati, a personal friend of the
Pitman family, accompanied the re-
mains. Strangers and newspaper rep
resentatives were excluded from the
building during the cremation, the par
ties present being Messrs. Pitman and
Plympton, and those persons in charge
of the furnace. DIR. lie Moyne was not
present, owing to the infirmities of age.
w. Blackhurst, superintendent of the
gas-works, had charge of the entire
process from beginning to end. The
estimated heat of the retort at noon was
1,200 deg. Fahrenheit. DR.. LIE Moyne
stated this afternoon that he had esti-
mated the highest degree of heat which
the furnace has ever shown at not over
1,2OO degrees. The arrangements at
the crematory were similar to those
used during the cremation of Baron De-
Palm.
The remains were taken from the
casket and placed in the iron cradle,
and a muslin cloth, previously soaked
in alum water, was spread over them
to hide them from view. At two O clock
the cradle was pushed into the retort
and the door clesed. In eighteen min
utes the body was entirely reduced, and
at the end of an hour and three-quar-
ters the cremation was pronounced
complete, and the flues of the furnace
were closed and the door sealed her
metically to arrest combustion and to
allow the rotnrt IN cool This will no
quire at least thirty hours, when the
door of the retort will be opened and
the calcined bones removed. The re-
suit of cremation is not ashes but frag-
ments of calcined bone as white as snow
and entirely odorless.
Mr.. Pitman expresses himself as more
than satisfied with the cremation. He
is undecided as to what he will do with
the remains, but thinks he will erect a
monument, in the inside of which he
will place the jar and contents.
DR.. lie Moyne says hereafter all Gre
nations will be conducted in strict
privacy, none but the friends being al
lowed in the building during the proc.
ess, and says that the success of to-day
was not needed to convince him that
cremation is the quickest, most econom.
ical and sanitary way of disposing OF
the dead.
