The CHINESE MISSION.

The Chinese Mission is about to set out
on its voyage to Picking, and the ubiqui-
tous interyiewers are dong their best to
ascertain in advance what the Minister and
his colleagues anticipate and intend. As
none of them possess any definite plans,
being nominally under the control OF cir
cumstances, they have not been able to
give any valuable or particularly interest
ing information to the press. OF course
they are willing enough to say that they
desire to do the best the situation admits
of. but they have yet to make acquaintance
with Chinese diplomacy, and perhaps
Mr.. Angel is not far from the mark
when he intimates that the work may
occupy them from two to five
years. The Chinese have no sympa-
thy for people who are in a
hurry. Their statesmen always prefer
to do everything as leisurely as possible.
They make war in terribly slow and sys-
tematic way. They cannot see the utility
OF Fastening negotiations of any kind. This
traditional dilatoriness is likely to delay
the adj lstment of the matter far more than
any Chinese opposition to the proposed
modification of the Burlingame Treaty,
which latter was never regarded very favor
ably by the majority of the Chinese Coun-
oil of State and which NAV therefore ba
open to revision without much objection
on the score of principle. 1t is, however,
a difficult and vexatious task which has
been intrusted to Messrs. Angel, Swift and
Prescott, and if they succeed in accom-
plishing it within a reasonable period they
will deserve the gratitude of the country.

PORTLAND, June 15th.-The fifteenth an
nual Pioneers Reunion took place here to-
day. The exercises were very interesting,
and were witnessed by an immense concourse
of people. 4 procession was formed in front
Of the Clarendon Hotel, and headed by 3
band, marched up First street to the Ne
chanics' Pavilion, where several thousand
people had already assembled. The meeting
was called to order by Mayor D. 2. Thomp-
son, who delivered an address of welcome.
Col. j. ". Nesmith delivered the annual
address. This evening a camp FIRE was lighted
i'll front OF the Pavilion and i1npromptu
speeches made by number of old pioneers.
A grand ball at the Mechanics Pavilion to-
night closed the exercises. Late in the after
noon a rowing race came off in front of the
city and was Witnessed by thousands on both
sides of the liver.
All Chung, the Cbinaman who received a
heavy blow on the head during a melee with 3
countryman several weeks ago, named Jim
Pang, died here last night from the effects of
the wound. The Ceroner's jury brought in a
verdict charging Jim Pang with murder.

for the purpose of inducing his royal mas
ter to yield the power which could not
otherwise be attained. The most curious
feature of the Democratic situation is the
prevalent dread of Tilden. He appears to
be regarded as sort Of powerful and ma
lignant spirit, something in the line of the
unpleasant fairy grandmother in the
nursery tales, who must be propitiated at
the christening Or she will pursue the in
FAINT with vindictive malice. There are
plenty of assertions that TiIden can do
nothing in the Convention, that he has
only hundred and fifty votes, that he is
horribly unpopular, and SO forth but
there is a substratum of uneasy APP
prehension as to what the old gentle
man may after ali show himself
capable OF, and it is doubtful whether
any Democrat feels really conf
dent that Cipher Alley cannot secure
himself or somebody else for the head of
the ticket. The Democratic tribute to the
formidable character of the Chicago nomi-
nations has already been offered, in the
shape of a general admission that the Gin
cinnati Convention will have to put the
very best men in nomination. This is
common-sense declaration, but unfor-
tunately for Democratic hopes it is by no
means an easy thing to accomplish. Tilden
is the unknown quantity, and he appears
to be opposed to Seymour even more than
to any other possible candidate. 1t may
be doubted whether he will allow such a
nomination if he can prevent it, and
whatever the Democrats say, it is evident
that most of them fear it is in his power
to destroy any other candidate, even if he
cannot secure the nomination for himself.

SAN FaANcIsco MONEY MARKET-All the
local banks appear to be well supplied with
money. 1t is apparently free to all who can
put up acceptable collaterals or who are suffi-
GENTLY well known to render anything be-
yond personal note unnecessary. The Off
GERS are daily at their desks, and proverbially
afable Despite all these favorable circum-
stances, money is one OF the most sluggish
things in the market, except mining stocks
Fortunately the Mint is to stop coming
after the 10Th for at least a week. The
regular rate of discount for frst-class com
mercial paper is 9 per cent, but there
is more or less business at both and 10 per
cent. The savings banks are loaning on
city property at St09 per cent. and paying
the mortgage tax This is equivalent to 81
all per cent. Drafts on New York are
drawn at 12ic for mail and 15c premium per
500 for Geographic. Exchange on London
is 49id for bankers bills, and 494d for com
mercial bills. Refined silver is l0a@n per

The New York Tribune solemnly re-
marks that the Emperor OF Japan is a
slender man, of medium hight, with an
olive complexion, small hands and feet,
and dark eyes of piercing brilliancy. He
is a representative of the party OF progress
and civilization, and is person Of strong
and determined character As most Jap.
anese are excessively corpulent, with
blonde compilations, large hands and feet,
and blue eyes, it is well that the peculiar
characteristics OF the Emperor have been
pointed out SO that when he travels
people viii not constantly be installing
him for the Prince of Wales or Count dc
Lesseps. A native of japan who is slen-
der, OF medium hight, and has an olive
complexion is indeed a rarity.

And 1t must be recognized further that
the support which was formerly derived
for anti-polygamous sentiment, from the
belief that it was in some way opposed
to divine ordinances, has been almost en-
tirely Withdrawn of late. 1t may be
doubted whether any earnest or general
opposition to the pr3ctice could now be
established upon such grounds, and this
being so the tendency is inevitably to-
ward a philosophical consideration of the
moral significance of the Mormon sys-
tenn. A further cause of embarrassment
consists in the fact that whereas all
the old theories assume that polygamy
is opposed to progress of any kind, the
Mormons have succeeded in achieving
remarkable industrial results despite
this drawback, or as they might say,
partly in consequence of it. And though
there may be no doubt as to the
comparative misery of polygamous re-
lations so far as the women are con-
cerned, it IS difficult to insist with
profitable emphasis upon this doctrine so
long as the women appear determined to
uphold the practice even more strenuously
than the men II. therefore, polygamy IS
indeed a twin evil with slavery, it is far
more difficult evil to deal with, and neither
review OF past efforts against it, nor
careful examination Of the existing situa.
ton, appears to justify sangaine anticipa-
tions. Congress has VIGOROUSLY failed in
every attempt to suppress plural marriages,
and there is no ground for supposing that
the plank just inserted in the Chicago
platform viii facilitate the disposition Of
the question. OF course there are plenty
of slashing critics ready to maintain that
the right way to deal with the matter
would be to declare martial law in Utah,
and send every polygamist to the peni-
tentisfy forthwith, but Congress has
already tried drastic remedies, and
there remains no doubt as to their
failure In fact cautious and thoughtful
observers have long since come to regard
the Mormon problem as one Of the most
perplexing in the whole range of national
issues, and whenever statesmen have tried
their hands at it they have thenceforward
been strongly disposed to give it as wide
berth as possible. We confess that We
do not see our way to any practical solu-
ton OF it, for we believe everything liable
to be construed as persecution must
strengthen instead OF weakening it, and on
the other hand, ii left to itself, the iudica-
tons are that in half century it may
dominate the Far West. 1t is good sub
ject for those who think they possess polit-
icai genius to test their powers upon.

THE MORMON PROBLEM.

A dispatch from New York gives state-
nlent of the Mormon Immigrant Agent
there, to the effect that notwithstanding
the letter of Secretary Evarts last year,
the immigration of Mormon neophytes is
greater now than at any previous time.
This agent says that a large number OF
Mormon missionaries have been sent out
all over Europe, and that they are making
converts with unexampled rapidity. The
National Republican Convention has in
serted in the platform of the party a
declaration that slavery having persisted
sin the States, its twin barbarity, polyg-
''amy. must die in the Territories. 1t is
therefore necessary to inquire by what
methods it is proposed to carry this policy
into effect. Mere platform declarations
amount to very little, but it has for some
time been held by many people that the
Republican party inherited an obligation
to stamp out polygamy, and that it could
not repudiate or evade this duty. The
Mormon question is one which does
not tend to solution when let alone.
On the contrary, it is vigorously grow
ing difficulty, and the embarrassments
inherent in it increase from year
to year At first it was practically a local
question, and therefore it was thought
possible to deal with it by legislating in
special way for Utah. But it is now over
tapping the borders of that Territory, and
invading the surrounding regions, and
Mormon colonies are quietly but steadily
being established throughout the Far
West. 1t might appear easier to handle
this question when the element to be
dealt with is only small fraction of the
population of Territory, but this is only
a seeming advantage The central obstacle
to any effective legislation in the premises
consists in the erection of polygamy into a
religious tenet. If the Mormons were
merely experimenting in a new social sys
tenn, like the Oneida Communists or the
Brook Farm eccentrics, it would not be
uiiiCui1 W pIibS tneLi MltulH inc law, anu
toput down their polygamous practices. But
when a community undertake to hold
that their religion not only justifes
but requires plural marriages, and
when every effort to extirpate
polygamy results in the creation of
fresh sympathy for them, 20 victims of
persecution, it becomes most intricate
and bewildering problem. The theory of
our Government, moreover, stands in the
way of severe measures. federation is the
principle which has been accepted as the
guide IN all religious matters, and expert
ence shows that no other principle can
with any prospect of harmony be adopted
in so mixed community. It is argued
that polygamy is breach of the civil law,
and so it is, but this fact cannot affect the
situation materially. We find in Utah
precisely the same kind of difficulties
which have confronted us at the South.
In the latter section the futihty of all
attempts to enforce laws which are contrary
to the prevailing sentiments of the people,
has been abundantly demonstrated, and |
a similar passive reputation of all meas
ures directed against polygamy battles the
Government in Utah.
