The Chinese Embassy.


The New York Commercial Advertiser says: The
Chinese Embassy is creating great deal of atten-
ton, and the retcence of its members has produced
the opinion that their object is to hold the United
States to the strict letter of the treaty. There is
doubt but that the Chinese Government understands
thoroughly the people there understand it, and if
the condition of affairs on the Pacific slope just
it is resolved that no change in the treaty be
made at present, the agitators will have fresh lease
of power, and the community will be kept in a con-
tinual state of suspense China, unhappily for the
people of California who regard this question so
very serious, has the large end of the stick and if
she purposes to hold to it will undoubtedly com
pcate the Chinese question.
The Journal of Commerce thinks, imported
last year eleven million dollars worth from China,
and only exported three millions, it is desirable to
open the Chinese markets. China is snubbed and
iusulted, and our treatment of her won't bring the
desired result The writer points out how we fat
ter Japan, and then draws a comparison with the
manner in which the Chinese Embassy was received
in San Francisco. The only emblem of power pre-.
sent was the baton of the policemen. There no
riot San Francisco probably thinks herself very
well behaved in abstaining from these, her usual
playful excuses towards Cinnamon, but we, at
distance, sharing of her miserable prejadices
regard her conduct this occasion like that of the
Federal Government, cod-blooded, uDchrstiau
and decidedly injurious to American interests. The
Chinese Embassy should shake the dust of Sar
Francisco from of its feet and hasten to New York

The Murphy Movement in Rock Island.

The tidal wave of temperance has at last
reached this city and the arrangements are
now complication series Of meetings af-
ter the manner of those instituted by the
Rev. Mr.. Murphy. These meetings have
been the means of winning thousands Of
converts in the larger cities, but have abeen
more especially successful in the smaller
country towns in this and many other
states. That'a similar .succ ess will follow
in Rock Island is not to be doubted, ana
there is, therefore, much reason to rejoice
that these revivals are admitted by all
those who have made drunkenness serious
study as largely beneficial in the practical
result, 1t would be foolish to expect that
manv confirmed drunkards can be.reformed
by these methods, for it is now we'll
known and conclusivly- established fact that
drunkenness, wherever it has become ha-
bitual, is'a disease which must be treated
as all other diseases are treated. Drum
kards who have become slaves of the cup
are not fit subjects for the revivaiist to
work on but are for the physician, and it
is only in extraordinary cases that the
drunkard himself has the exceptional
strength of character to curb his burning
appetite without resort to medical aid to
its cravings. Nor can there be said to be
much hope Of Temperance revival weaving
many of the moderate drinkers who have
acquired the taste for liquor but only oc-
casiOnally fall into indulgences. These
meetings are not aimed at either of these
classes, but are directed mainly..to the con-
verson of the young of both sexes who have
not yet learned the fascination of the wine
cup. These are easily persuaded to pledge
total abstinence, for it requires no sacra-
fec to take the pledge, and they find that
it involves no sacrifice to keep it. There
are many for whom no pledge is needed to
keep them in the path of abstinence, but
withthe majority the pledge is bulwark Of
protection which saves them from tempta-
tons that might.not otherwise be resisted.
These are the very ones who are in most
danger Of drinking to excess if they drink
at all, and to whom moderate indulgence
is an impossbillity.
