the bubble that will burst this fall of its
own infation-is welded together, as far as
we have been able to observe, by only two
motives First want of office; second, to
revenge real or imaginary sights, generally
imaginary, from the Democratic party.
There is no political principle or patriotism
in the matter. We know Of the most abso-
lutte of hard money men who intend to CO.
operate with the Greenbackers for spite;
and of others just as absolute who will
operate with them for the sake of Office
The whole thing in nutshell is simply
illfoundcd opposition to the Democratic
party and for no better reasons than hate
on the one side, and desire for office on the
other.
Spite aud disappointed ambition are
wonderful factors in American politics
about the only motive power we begin to
believe that runs the machine Party
power, individual agrandizement, is the
centre and circumference of the whole
business. Aberdeen Weekly.

s. Yesterday morning at ten O'Clock
All Ching, a Chinaman twenty-five
years of age, was ordained as deacon
in Trinity church, in this city. The
ceremony was of more than ordinary
importance, being the first instance Of
the kind in this country The religious
Chinaman, who has taken the name of
Walter G. Young, has been resident
of this country for fifteen years, most
of that time being spent in the Eastern
States. For the past two years he has
been a resident of this city, and has
been student under the care of
Trinity church. Rev. DR.. Beers, in his
address, referred to the ordination be-
ing the first one in which native Of
China, in that connection, had been
admitted to the orders of the church.
He added that the young man who was
now admitted to the order Of deacOns
had passed far better examination
than the majority of those who had
been candidates for the priesthood.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Kip ofliciated at the
ordination, and a part of the service
was read in Chinese by the newly made
deacon. The young man has discarded
the costume peculiar to his race, and
wears his hair short.-San Francisco
