When the counting at midnight Is ended,
And he sta ads with his hat In his fist,
While she lovingly fingers beside him,
To bid him "ta-tal" aud be kissed,
How busy the thoughts of the future
You bet you HE thoughts he don't speak
He is wondering how he can manage
To live on six dollars week.

Chinese Cheap Labor.

il the Chinese in America follow
with any degree of accuracy and close
ness the variations in public sentiment
regarding them they doubtless feel
that their future is not SO hopeless in
this country as it St emed year ago.
Their arch enemy and persecdtor in
California has been given to under
stand that the law does assert itself
even when it submits to insolent def
ance the longest. This gives John
Chinaman a chance to breathe and
perhaps wonder what is coming next.
We should be sorry to see the Chinese
element spreading throughout e
country, and we do not believe that it
will spread unless there is a very
strong reason for it. The obstinate
and, for the most part, unreasonable
attitude which labor is now taking i'm
SO many industries, may force manu-
facturers at the North and agricultur-
turists at the South, and large employ
ers generally, to desperate remedies if
it continues. Nobody wants Chinese
on the same terms as American work.
men. But when American workmen
will not come to any terms except
such as they can dictate, manufacture
ers, who do not want their mills and
factories to stand idle, and planters
who do not wish to sec their crops rot
in the fields for want of harvesting,
may conclude that Chinese cheap labor
consult their best interests
they will repudiate the tyranny of trade
unions and self-constituted lesders and
'bosses," go to work and conduct them
selves in a peacearle and orderly man. |
ner. The history of the recent strikes
of mechanics and operatives i'm the
North and of small portion of the
agricultural laborers in the South clear
~ demonstrates that the strikers were,
after all, sufferers, and not gamers, by
the movement. The abandonment Of
what, under all circumstances, would
seem to be a one-sided or unequsl con-
Test would not only make them more
prosperous and happy, but
t would effectually prevent the "heath-
N Chinee" from getting into the field of

,ver, that the bread and butter of real
v industrious man is taken from his
mouth by honest competition.

The New York Legislature adjourn
ed after all without passing the bill to
select Presidential electors by Congress
sional districts. Many people, claim
ing to be we'll informed, were satisfied
that it would be passed during the last
days of the session; but it appears that
the Republicans were not prepared to
make such confession of party weak
ness as would be implied i'm the propos-
ed change in the system of choosing
electors. 1t is not yet too late, howev-
er, for the measure to become a law.
If during the canvass the Republicans
have reason to believe that they will
lose the State, the Governor can easily
convene the Legislature in extra ses-
sion and the required change in the
law could then be made. But such a
course is not among the reasonable
proba bilities. If the Legislature is
convened for such purpose after the
campaign has actively opened, it will
be regarded as an admission of weak
ness of such character that it would
demoralize the Republican canvass in
all the doubtful States, and cause loss
far more greater than would be COM
pensated for by the ten or twelve votes
to be gained by it 1t is safe to say
that New York will vote for electors
on q general ticket, as usual.

The sunstroke season has begun un-
usually early this year. commencing in
New York Tuesday, 26th ult., when the
thermometer marked SO degrees in the
shade. There were twenty-three cases
of prostration, resulting from the heat,
in New York and Brooklyn,8 of which
resulted fatally, while two deaths from
sunstroke occurred in Jersey city. The
suffering among the horses was very
great, and hundreds of them were
stricken down by the heat. All the
meteorologists and scientists inter-
viewed declared the weather the hot
test ever known in May, and ascribed
it to the drouth which has been pre-
vaillng for more than month. The
New York papers are pleased to an
nounce, however, that New York was
never cleaner than at present, particu-
larly the tenement district of the city.
N which, the mortality
among the children of that section
shows very great increase. such as
always takes place with the approach
of warm weather.

The towns, counties and municipali-

assist in building unnecessary and use

year by the Legislature. Some Of the
townships have weighted themselves
down with immense debts that will
certainly produce bankruptcy, sooner
or later. Thus Wayne township, No
ble county, has taxed itself $l44 to each
voter, and Plymouth, Richland county,
$143, for railroad purposes. The Ohio

shown all over the State to run into

Newspaper men are not always de-

they turn the tables with success upon
their opponents. A case in point has
just occurred at Wilmington, Del. The
editor of Every Erening recently de-

dishonest and fraudulent concern. The
company clustered, threatened a libel
suit and actually begun proceedings.
Finding that the newspaper man did
not scare to any appreciable extent,

The Life.Saving Service.

There is no branch of national SER

recently published shows an enlarg-

ed efficiency all along the coast.
Within the scope cooperation Of twelve
districts and 173 stations there were 219
disasters to vessels. There were 2l05
persons on board these vessels, Of
whom 2O49 were saved and So lost
There were succored at the stations37l
shipwrecked persons, to whom 1074
days of relief in the aggregate were fur
nished. The estimated value Of the
vessels INVOLVED i'm these disasters was
81 ,922, ,276, and that of their cargoes
1865 $40, making the total value Of the
imperiled s2,sS7 1856. OF this
amount 81, ,445, ,Os6 was saved and ST.

dred different religions, each of which
is right, while all the rest are wrong.
Buddhism is eminently benevolent and
humane. Col. Prejevalsky tells us that
in Mongolia, where Buddhism has its
strongest hold, it has completely
changed the character of the ferocious
tribes that followed Genghis Khan,
and has resolved their descendants
into the peaceful and mild Mongolians
of to-day, whose religion makes them
especially remarkable for their kind
care of their domestic animals and their
tender regard for their own children.
1t will surprise the Buddhist King Of
Sis m to learn that our ci civilization, with
its many religions, compels the estab-
lishment of special societies to protect
animals from the cruelty Of their own
ers and to punish parents for savage
assaults upon their children. It will
grieve him to hear that now and then
a clergyman is sent to prison for starv-
ing children confided to his care. He
will be shocked to know that among
our ministers of the Gospel prosecu-
lions for adultery are not unheard of
and that occasionally one Of these
messengers of peace commits o MUIR
der.
He will further be astonished to learn
that in this civilized country criminals
are capitally executed, not by behead-
ing or other comparatively merciful
methods. but by hanging, always In u
bungling and generally in a barbarous
Gus manner. Instead o! the neat and
quick slicing ofFof head with asword,
it is sometimes violently jerked off with
a rope. Occasionally the victim is
dropped to the ground, to writhe a
while in, horrible agony. and then Is
strung up for a second strangulation.
In place of expert excutioners, as In
Siam, our man-hangers generally are
and clumsy.
No doubt the King has heard, what
is known the wide world over, that
the present occupant of our Chief Mag
istracy was put in place by gigantic
fraud; but it may be new to him that a
consi,l erable class, queerly enough call
ing themselves Republicans, are anx-
ious fo- an imperial rule and what they
call a strong government meaning
one that will be hard OH the peo-
pie whom they intend to rule and to
rob.
1t will somewhat surprise him that
our Government annually expends vast
sums of money with no return whatso-
ever; millions upon an invisible and
navy; other millions on
costly and useless diplomatic and con-
sular service, whose agents occupy |
very much Of their time In touring and
more millions for sinecure
offices for party favorites. He will fail
10 understand how it costs three times
IS much to support and feed our Indi-
ans as it did when there were three times
Is many of them as there are now to be
ed.
He will see that while party service
promotes to high places, the same feal-
" suffices to save from prison politI-
,ians convicted of bribery, perjury, and
,ther crimes. These are but q few of
he graver surprises which await
he King of Siam. There are many
,ther things in our civilization that
will more astonish than amuse his
Majesty.
