AFTER reading several numbers of our
new Chicago Democratic Daily, we feel
constrained to express our disappointment.
The paper does not come up to the needs OF
the place, the times and the surroundings
The editorials lack fire, snap, depth and
incisiveness. One feels, after reading the
editorial page, as if he had been stuffed
with straw-tillcd up with weak tea. The
publishers fill their part Of the bill well and
satisfactorily; but we insist that the edito
rial management of the Herald, is whcr
compared with that Of the Times, Tribune
and Inter. Ocean, weak and signally wanting
in force and aggressivoness. II is too mucl

in the erection of churches and academies
and in the maintenance of schools. Of
course these investments were of the kind

bankruptcy was the result of an attempt to

A CHINESE lecturer, named Chan PAX
Kwai is lecturing in northern Illinois "tcll-
ing the truth about the Chinese" and tax
ing in the Christians quarters as consid-
Grafton therefor. He says that in San
Francisco the Chinese are arrested for
sleeping in apartments where there arc less
than 800 cubic feet of heather air, and
thrust into prison and forced to sleep where
there are less than 100 feet of Christian air.
twas complained that his people didn t
buy real estate and identify themselves
with the country; but the very moment
they commenced doing that, laws were en-
acted to prevent it, French, Irish and
Spanish parents who pay less than $4,000
school tax in San Francisco send their
children to the public schools but the
children Of Chinese parents who pay more
than $4,000 are excluded 1t is objected
too that the Chinese manifest no desire to
throw off their allegiance to
the government of China. That
this should be done when everybody knows
that the doors to citizenship in this country
are closed against the Chinese, he regarded
as apiece with the other unreasonable and
foundationlcss charges upon which the
"sand lots Of California had built their hos
tility to his race, In all of which Mr. Kwai
may have told the truth. But while so many
doors are closed TO the Chinese in America
there is one door that is always open, and
that is the door that opens upon the high
way back to China. IT, as Kwai states,
this is such terrible country, and its pco-
pie such an unreasoning set, why, in the
name of all the little brass gods of China
at once, don't ms people pack their pie
boxes and hustle back to the "sunny land

he hopes after awhile to reach the expected
elyslum. The Missouri Pacific railroad
company should be compelled to pay the
return passage of every one of these coored
people who fails to satisfactorily settle
himself in Kansas. The 1.-the
graphs of this company, showing
sheaveS of wheat and oats as
tell rs full grown apple tree, stalks of
corn sixteen feet high with six ears of corn
on each stalk, potatoes so large that the
man of the house sat down on one end
while the other was roasting in the fire, and
pumpkins so large that children removed
the seeds and used the shells as play-houses
Autographs showing these wonders and
claiming them as the products Of Kansas
were circulated freely among the negroes of
the South, and more than any other cause,
are responsible for the Kansas furore among
the blacks of Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana We repeat, therefore, that the
Missouri Pacific having bcguiled large
portion OF these poor fellows away from
their Southern homes, are, in justice and
equity, bound to give to such of them as
fail to secure the means of livelihood in
Kansas, free passages back to the homes
and the people they so foolishly abandoned.

MRS. GOOCH'S TONGUB.

LILO NOOSh hoN OSoAA W. -
deaf and dumb she might have
been happier woman. She often
said so herself. The trouble that
long tongue Of hers had got her
into no one kpeW-no one could
know but herself. No matter how
important secret was, it was i'm
possible for her to keep it. And
she did not even make pretence
of confding only in her dearest
friends, as some women Go. She
was as likely to pour her conf
dences into the bosom OF the
morest stranger.
Even as child she had done So.
So that there could not be a family
tiff, a question Of economy, a bill
overdue, or a little comfortable
back biting of friends in the do
mestic circle, but all the world
knew it at once. Tilly Smee-
that was Mrs. Gooch's maiden
name-told everything, and told
it to everybody.
After childhood had passed, and
lilly, being pretty, found herself
the object of admiration in several
quarters, it was exactly the same.
Tilly was engaged" to five
different young men before Mr.
Gooch came along, and her love
affairs came to an untimely end
by reason of her chattering each
time.
Mr.. Gooch, a wise, serious, ST.
lent man pro6tted by the trou-
bles Of his predecessors, and wise
ly told Tilly nothing which he did
not desire to have repeated. There
fore they came, at last, to their
wedding. day, and the long-sufer-
ing parents, sisters, brothers, and
other relatives of long-tongued
Tilly saw her transferred to anoth- .
or homo with sensations Of relief.
Not that Tilly was not o good
girl, but that the presence OF q
sort of private detective at the
fire side was scarcely agreeable.
In her new abode Mrs. Gooch
became comparatively harmless.
She told all the news as before,
but tho small, proper household
had no secrets whatever. Bills
were regularly paid. The ira
ditional mother-in-law lived forty
miles away. Mr.. Gooch kept his
business affairs strictly to himself,
and was what old-fashioned peo-
pie call "a good providor." Con-
sequently, Mrs. Gooch found her
self forced back on the delinque n
cies of the laundress and the evil
deeds of Bridget, the cook, for her
conversation, and peace rcigned
in the household of the Gooches.
But, alas upon an evil day Mr.
Gooch had a falling out with his
business neigbbor, Mr.. Chubb, the
grocer, who would persist in fill
ing up the pavement under Mr.
Gooch's Office windows with boxes:
barrels, bags and other articles IN
no way connected with real estate
Hard words passed, and in his ex'
citement Mr.. Gooch told the facts
to his wife. In the course of the
next day that wolI-meaning, but
indiscreet, lady had spread the
tale over the whole town, not
omitting the statement that Mr.
Gooch, in kicking box Of tee

1t is a great misfortune to have
a fretful disposition. It takes the
fragrance out Of ones life, and
leaves only weeds where a cheer
full disposition would cause fow-
ers to bloom. The habit Of fret
ting is one that grows rapidly,
unless it be sternly repressed and
the best way to overcome it is to
try always to look on the cheerful
side of things.
