chinese Enterprise.

The Captain of the British steamer
Escambia. just arrived at New York
from Annoy, reports that the China Mer-
chants Company, when he left. had just
contracted for the immediate construc-
ton, on the Clyde. of four frst-class
ocean steamships, of 800 tons each, for
service in a regular line between China
and San Francisco. These vessels, to-
gether with those already in possession of
the company. win enable the latter to
maintain an active competition with the
Pacific Mail and White Star steamers,
now making weekly trips on that route.
1t is expected that these steamers will be
completed by July next, and be
ready for business in the following
month. Their comparatively small ton
mage Is to insure full cargoes. the great
steamers, their rivals, being too large
for the trade. They will be manned
with native crews, but commanded by
English or American officers, as the in
surance companies otherwise would
declince to assume risks. 1t IS thought
these Chinese vessels will not have to go
begging for employment, as trade in that
country now is undergoing a very mark
ed revival, and its commerce with the
United States is rapidly on the increase.
The immigrant business, it is pretty GER
tain, will drift towards them, the China
man naturally preferring to sail under
his own flag

lines. With sufficient lights along the
river, this can always be effected with
out risk. At present steamers use the
electric light, which is not satisfactory.
as it cannot always be relied on. An
appropriation adequate for the establish
ment of beacon lights along our river,
in sufficient number and of proper class,
is greatly needed.
We understand that Col. E. G. Ander-
son, of this city, will, in q few days, at
the request of the Central Railroad and
Ocean Steamship Companies and the
Cotton Exchange, visit Washington to
lay these matters before our immediate
members of Congress. We have not
been able to elaborate the subject as
much as its importance demands. We
believe, however, that we have said
enough to aid that gentleman in his
efforts to enable the National Legislature
to arrive at proper understanding OF
the mission in which be is engaged.

While other papers are contenting
themselves with recording the events of
1880, the Boston Globe precipitates itself
into the future and comes out under date
of January /, 1881. 1t appears by its
record of events that in 1890 there were
139 States in the Union, and 800, 900, 900
people. Canada, Cuba and Australia
had been admitted to the Union, and the
application of Brazil, Chill and Peru for
admission was before Congress. The
Refrigerator State, a territory discovered
by Captain John Kelly, who was sent
out by Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, in
the hope that he would never return, ex-
tended the boundaries of the Union to
the North Pole. Among the bills passed
by Congress in 1890 was one appropria-
ting $25, coo towards completing the
Washington monument, and $50, 600 for
the purpose of removing the Tower of
London TO the grounds of the capitol at
Washington; that venerable ruin having
been presented to this country as SOU
venir of the British Empire. The Bos-
ton Globe is an enterprising paper.

DIR. w. H. BabcOck.

We take pleasure in rendering our con-
CALCULATIONS to Or. w. H. BabcOck, our
esteemed friend and confrere, on his
election to the position of Secretary of
the Florida Senate We might with pro-
priety extend our congratulations to that
body on their selection of so competent
and worthy a gentleman to fill that i'm
portant office. DR.. B. is a gentleman of
liberal culture and high character, q
steadfast and consistent Democrat, and
will bring to the discharge of his Of
fetal duties all the requisite qualifica-
tons for the position. Formerly val
ued member of the editorial staff of the
MORNING News, he has for some three
years past been our special Florida cor
respondent, and by his able letters has
not only added to the general interest of
the paper, but has done much for the
development of the resources and the
advancement of the material prosperity
of our sister State.

Richmond Dispatch eve see all
around us too many evidences that the
States are as nothing nowadays to al
low US to hope that any respect is here
after to be paid to the rights of the
States. When we see Virginia Judges
tried in Federal courts for their acts as
such Judges; Virginia election officers
arraigned in Federal courts for acts done
in their official capacity; Federal super
visors overseeing our elections; Federal
Marshals overawing our voters the
Federal Government levying annually
millions of dollars of taxes on tobacco,
Vlrginia's chief product, and many
other such things with which the Wig
is familiar, we are not hopeful that the
excellent doctrines now being taught by
the Wing viii ever again find acceptance
in this country"

1t is reported that Colonel Fair, of
Nevada, expended $3.50, 900 in the cleo
ton of members Of the Legislature
pledged to support him for United
States Senator. In addition to this ex-
penditure, it is limited that he will be
compelled to continue helping his pur-
chased legislators, financially, until the
Senatorial election, in order TO make
sure of them. If Colonel Fair has really
got off so far with the outlay Of only
$3.50, 900, then he will get the cheapest
United States S9natorship yet sold in
that State, or the expenditures of his
predecessors have been greatly exag-
gerated.

The effort of the Beers to re-establish
their little Republic of the Transvaal
may be regarded as akin to an attempt
of the Dutch to capture Holland. 1t is
in no sense of the word rebellion, as
some of the British journals endeavor
to make out, but a revolt against sub
stantially forcible annexation to which
they were compelled to submit, but
against which they have at no moment
ceased to protest. The movement to-
ward a recovery of their autonomy has
apparently been carefully planned, and
seems to be under shrewd and able
guidance. These Dutch farmers of
South Africa are of the same sturdy and
heroic build with the founders of the
strong medieval republic that grew up
about the Zuyder Zee. and they have
the traditions of freedom as we'll as its
instincts to inspire them. Their COM
patriots in Holland have already es.
poused their cause, and a powerful ap-
peal is to be made to the conscience of
the British people. 1t is to be hoped
that the English sense of fair play will
lead the government to do them justice

speCulatiOns AbOat the Cabinet.

The fact which seems TO be assured
that Representative Morton, of New
York, has declined to accept the Navy
portfolio, notwithstanding General Gar
field would have retained him, breaks to
some extent the Cabinet states which
have been made up. 1t is fair to con-
clude that the New York member is
not to be General Garfield's Secretary of
the Treasury, else the tender of the
Navy Department would hardly have
been made him. 1t is now believed that
the Treasury Department will go to the
West, and In connection with it the
names of Gen. Robert Schenek, of Ohio,
and James F. Wilson, of Iowa, are
mentioned. 1t seems to be generally
conceded that Senator Blaine will go
to the State Department, unless
Senator HaThiin should succeed
himself in the Senate. in which
event it is believed he would remain in
the Senate. It's said that Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts,, will be offered the At
torney Generalship, whiuh he will de-
cline. If Mr.. Morton will not go into
the Cabinet, except as Secretary of the
Treasury. it is believed that Mr.. Platt,
of New York, will be Postmaster Cen
eral. The Department of the Interior,
according to the quid nuncs, will go to
the Pacific slope or the far West, with
Governor Routt, of Colorado, well to the
front. 1t is said that Routt is Endorsed
by General Grant and his friends. The
statement is also given, being made with
degree more of positiveness, that Don
Cameron will be Secretary of War; that
he is tired of the Senate, and prefers his
old place back as the head of the War De-
partment. 1t is not thought the South
will have any representation in the new
Cabinet.

1t appears that there was falling OFF
in the number of arrivals of foreign yes
sells at New York during 1880 as COM
pared with 1879 of 1900. or nearly 16
per cent. In the arrivals of vessels from
Eastern domestic ports the decrease was
2, 1866, or upward of % per cent. From
the Southern ports an increase OF 479
arrivals is to be noted. The diminution
of our coastwise commerce may to some
extent be accounted for by the enlarged
facilities offered by railway transporta-
ton, but the decadence of foreign trade
can hardly be explained in that way.

A HOUSE STRICKEN WITH D1PHTHERIA.
Samuel Crump owns a handsome
house at Montclair, n. ]. The house is
fitted up with all the modern con-
veniences and appliances supposed to in
sure the health of occupants. A short
time ago one of Mr.. Crumps children.
a boy six years of age, was attacked
with diphtheria, and he died last Sun
day. Wednesday another son, age eight,
died from the same disease. Friday
night little daughter also died from
diphtheria. 4 third son is very low with
the disease, and is not expected to live,
and Mrs. Crump has also been pros
trated. The source of the disease has
been traced to the ventilating pipes,
which. being placed too close to the
sewer pipes, received the poisonous
sewer gases and introduced them into
the house.-N T. tribune, LIST.

Upwards of nine thousand bills have
been introduced in the Senate and House
Of the present Congress. but fortunately
for the country, very few Of them will
ever get beyond reference to a commit
tee. It is probable, remarks the Wash
ington Star, that twO-thirds of these bills
we're introduced without any purpose, by
the members submitting them, of ever
seeking to have them passed; that'they
sre impracticabIe, and very many of
them, perhaps, absurd measures, that
were introduced to pacify constituents
and to make the NJ. C. "solid" in his
district. There is a good deal of bunkum

The exchanges at the New York
clearing house during 1880 reached the
enormous sum of $38, GA, AS, 1913. This
is one-third larger than the business of
1879, and that exceeded any previous
year. When the national debt was lar
gest it was but one-fourteenth of this
tremendous aggregate of one years bus

Populous cities are monsters that de-
stroy life rather than nourish it. In the
city of New York, for the year 1880,
there were 81 1866 deaths and only 81, $50
births. Two-ffths of the deaths are
among children under five years of age.
These tenderlings cannot stand the bad
air and close confinement of pent up
dwellings and unwholesome streets.

Nineteen brethren of the Methodist
church at Bellemont, Pa, have been
convicted of rloting. The Rev. r. S.
Appel had been re engaged by one fac
ton as pastor, and dismissed by the
other. Taking the benefit of the doubt,
he resolved to continue preaching. His
opponents barricaded the doors, and
created such a riot that the Sheriff was
compelled to disperse them. Nineteen
of them were prosecuted.

Commenting upon the Chicago Times
showing of the popular vote, the Spring
field Republican says: The census will
probably show that 700, 600 adult Ameri-
cans, who might, did not vote. and in
all probability it will also show that out
side of the two close States, Ohio and
Indiana, there are as many of these non
voters at the North as at the South, in
