When the President has just struck the
Chinese question with his veto from the list
of live topics. for time at least, even i'm
portant contributions to the discussion will
hardly receive the attention which they
deserve and vet the best time to consider
such vcxcd question is that when mems
minds are cool. The letter from the Rev. DR..
William Speer, which is printed elsewhere,
is not the work Of thcorist or politician,
but Of a man who has lived in close contact
with the California Chinese, knowing their
language and familiar with Their customs,
and whose calling gave him especial advan-
tagcs for learning for himself just what
manner of people obey are. The SPECIAL
feature of Dr.. Spcer's letter is an endcayor
to remove misconceptions concerning the
nature of the "Sx Companies" at whose
meetings he has been present, and whose
regulations he has had in the original tongue.
There is so much misinfOrmatiOn ahoat about
the Chinese that facts from such a trust
worthy source are most welcome.

As Premier of the new Spanish Cabinet
General MARTINEZ CalnpOS will be in a position
to promote the reforms in Cuba which he has
advocated in person at Madrid. If he displays

turbance which would attend such an at

A correspondent who has tTaversed in the
past two months the States of Louisiana,
Texas and Arkansas, studying both the pOliti-
cal and social condition Of the Southwest,
sums UP elsewhere the ruling opinions III

when the legislative branch Of the Govern

The finale to the dispute between the Kansas
Legislature and the Western Union Telegraph
Company comes very near low comedy. The
operator has been III the custody of the Legis-
nature for refusing to exhibit kilograms de-
manded of him 10y the House, and it was an
nounccd that the telegraph company proposed
10 make this a test case. But this commend
able proceeding the Legislature OF Kansas
has prevented by running away from ITS
prisoner in sheer fright. The announcement
in a newspaper that Judge Cooley had just
published al opinion maintaining the view That
telegraph messages are strictly lDviolable, had
the effect Of throwing the honorable members
into a pane, and the operator was released
at once The practical result Of The cOntTO-
ycrsv Is To leave the telegraph company the
victor, though not il the courts. The West
ern Union might do better by making test
case. after Mr.. Chittendcn's method, and pick

would like to have a little fun, and be-
irg suspicious of "pa and ma" sanction
ing their trip, they concluded to run
the blockade on them. So they secured
tlIe sGryices of a "sailor boy blue"
better known as Winston M, who,
by the way, is IN excellent driver for
= little fellow. They then hired a
horse and buggy TO go TO Chatata TO
the closing of the school, but instead
of stopping there they kept on to Ath-
ems and ''put up" with friends and
relatives. They concluded then they
had better telegraph their Pas and let
them know where they werc This
they did, and on receipt of the tele-
gram one dad remarked TO the other,
"Ain't that thunder" but as the tel
egram announced that the girls would
return next day, the old gentlemen
were not uneasy. OF course we can
not give the names of the young ladies,
far fear that Miss Carrie and Miss
Mary might become offended at us, and
we prefer to keep Oh the good side of
all the ladies, as they no doubt enjoyed
their trip and as no harm was done,
the best thing VIC eau DO is TO let no
one know anything about it. And we
won't.

For the past few months there has
been n number of store and dwelling
houses robbed and burned in Murfrees-
boro, and occasionally a murder. Ma
jor Pugh, one of the most prominent
citizens of the town, was murdered.
The excitement became very high and
the corporate authorities employed de-
t%octives to ferret out tho matter; and
the result Is, last Saturday a gang OF
twelve men were arrested-some white
and some black. Two of them-Burrel
Smith and John lIall-have confessed
to the murder of Mr.. Pugh. 1t is said
that the feeling is such that mob vio-
lence Is feared. Gov. Marks addressed
the crowd Monday and plead for the
law to take its course.
