Opium, the Chinaman, and the
Yankaa

The chief objection to the new Chinese
treaty, this side the Rocky Mountains, is
thai it prohibits the carrying of opium to
China by American ships. This objection
first found voice in Boston, city which
prides itself on being very E glish indeed.
Opium is the curse of China. That
nation has striven to prevent the importa-
ton OF the drug. England forced it upon
her, 1t bombarded her cities, sacked her
palaces, and compelled her to open her
ports to British vessels bearing opium.
The British example may be good to fol-
low, but to us it seems desirable to avoid.
The leavings of British traffic may put some
dollars in American pockets. In order to
crafty the covetousness of a few men we
are asked to affront a friendly nation, and to
make ourselves instruments to effect the
ruin of many people. That is altogether
GOO much like British philanthropy" to
suit most Americans. If the opium clause
is the only Objectionable clause in the
Chinese treaty the objection should be
promptly overruled.

SENATOR JOHNSTON, of Virginia, has
written letter on the subject of the in
debtedness of the State and in opposition to
the policy of the Readjuster party, in which
he claims that the old State is able to meet
her obligations and can afford to be honest
to all her creditors. The means and ability
of the State he claims, are improving an lu-
ally, and in due time she will be able to ask
NO favors in that respect. After an elabor-
ate review of her affairs, he thus rebukes
the Readjusters' defense of repudiation. He
says:
The Readjusters have coupled and continue
to couple their clamor about the debt of Vir-
gnia with the most heartrending accounts of
the poverty of the people and the State. Ac-
cording to them the State is onlya vast poor
house and its citizens so many paupers. They
profess to want immigrants to come to the
State, and by way of inducing them tell them
and the world that the taxes are oppressive
and almost intolerable, that the people are
poor, and they offer the invited immigrants
the choice between repudiation and poverty
and hardship. 1t is true that many were made
bankrupt by the war and its consequences, and
the people of the State have undergone much
trouble. But they have made brave and
manly effort, and thisday believe the pros
poets OF the State to be more promising and
its future brighter thau at any period OF its
history. There IS more energy, more industry
more enterprise, more development and growth
OF business, than could have been expected or
even hoped for, and to prove and substantate
this opinion, have to mention that Virginia
in the last ten years has increased nearly 300,-
OOO in her population. Her towns and cities
have grown much in people and business.

THE Atlanta Constitution sees the time
in the not distant future when the seat of
the cotton manufacture of the country will
be in the South. 1t says: The present de-
cade will decide-and the South goes into
the contest full of pluck, hope and amb-
tion. In spite of the present ant of capi-
tai, experie ce and skill, the South can win
and win it will, becau all else is in its
favor Then the South will become pro-
tectionist.

THE Providence Journal believes that $50
long as the matter of insolvency is regulated
by each State so long will there be varying
statutes, conflicting laws, opportunity for
evasion, and necessarily dubious condition
OF the law in particular States; and, on the
whole, national bankrupt law will not
prevent all doubt or dishonesty, but it
should afford pretty clear authority, easily
to be understood. of what might and what
could not safely be done.'

BELFAST Journal: Aside from the ques-
tion whether Governor Plaisted has not vio-
lated his oath of Office in his assaults upon
the Judiciary and in his attempts to bring
its decisions into contempt, it is certainly in
questionable taste for him to assail the Su-
preme Court, when it is remembered that
but for its decisions he would to-day be a
disappointed ofice-seeker instead of Gov
ernor of Maine.

Mr.. HENRY WATTERsoN wants polygamy

"In regard to slavery Mr.. Lincoln, on Sep

the pen viped it out forever from the Unit
ed States wi .hout any hay Cling over techni-
calities. If polygamy is not as bad a thing
as slavery then the civilized world and
Christendom have been mistaken in their
judgment. They are not mistaken, howev-
er, and the short cut to slavery's downfall
is ready for us with regard to the twin rel
ic,' poygamy"

BosroN Herald: The Maine STANDARD

BosToN Herald: The Maine Standard,
under its new publishers, promises "unwa-
vering support to Democratic principles and
the Democratic party, fearlessly advocating
what it believes to be right, and as fearless
y opposing what it conceives to be wrong,
while studiously avoiding personalities and
abuse" All it needs in addition is to look
carefully after its conceptions of right and
wrong, which, in the case of the former
publishers, were sometimes confused.

in her. The only paying scheme she was

WHEN the census of 1890 is taken, the

"Our inland cities and boroughs are grow

we have greater resources for massing pop
lation in the rural distrcts-our elements
for manufacturing exceed anything that ev-
er can be developed in New York, and we
have more attraction for massing popula-
ti0n than any of the old thirteen States.''
