Wright of Pennsylvania addressed the Cen
trail Greenback Labor Club at Cooper U MON
last evening. The hall was about two-thirds
full, and upon the platform were Peter
Cooper and the officers of the Club. As he
was dpoub W ClOoc HIS TtIldTkS some one III
the audience asked Wright to give his views
on the Chinese question. His answer was
that the country could not afford to have its
Caucasian blood mixed with that of the Chi

English Diplomacy In China.
New York, March 31st.-The Herald
says: China refuses to regard herself as
bound by the recent treaty made with Rus
STA for the settlement of the Kuldja cues
ton, and it is said on good authority that her
obstinacy on this poirt is altogether due to
English prompting and English criticism of
the treaty. This is likely enough to be true,
for if England can put a spoke in the Rus
sian wheel by so cheap process, it is in the
method OF her present government to make
the attempt. But with England thus acting
behind China as the real disfuu Der of the re,
lations of the Asiatic neighbors, it is odd to
hnd as reported in our dispatches to-day,
how wicked the English paTers consider Rus
STA Tor stirring up Japan against China. II
Engian inspires China to quarrel with Rus
STA, that is diplomacy. Ii Russia inspires
Japan to quarrel with China, that is villainy.
There is one point in the news from China
the mystery of which the British journalists
cannot fathom. This is the recall of Mr..
Seward, the American Minister. At first
this was thought to have been done because
China had insulted Russia. Now it is dis
covered to be due to the fact that there is to
be an election this year. The President had
to remove MIR. Seward in order to insure the
success of his party at the polls. Great man.

Kansas Republican State Convention.
TOPEKA, March 3lst.-The State Conven-
tion does not meet till 4 P. N. The prospects
are that it will be late tonight before any

Grant men control two of the three Con-
gressional districts. The Blaine men, in
caucus last night, decided to elect all the
delegates in the Convention, not allowing
dist lets to make selections, as has been the
practice heretofore. Grant men say they
resist, anu WltiluTdW stuQ elect u6legaIeS
from the two Grant districts. Whether this
can be done cannot yet be said

election. Well, yes" said Calkins, 81
think it was a pretty fair election, as we look
upon Southern elections generally" Cal
kins' sober answer, in which there was no
suspicion of satire, led every one to draw the
inference at once that fair election in the
South and in the North are very different
things.
