"The Chinese treaties were sent to the Sen
ate to-day, and the documents were referred,
in Executive session. to the Committee on
Foreign Relations. The treaties relate to COM
merce and immigrationl "a
"The Emperor of China agrees that the
Government Of the United States should ex.,
ercise entire control over the immigration of
Chinese into this country, just as the Pekin
Government regulates the movement Of for
eigners into their country. Whenever, in the
judgment Of this Government, the immigra.
ton OF Chinese labor threatens to injure the
interests of this country, We may restrict or
put . stop to it altogether. While the
influx of Chinese Is not prohibited In
terms, the same end Is practically accom-
piished by allowing our Government to exer.
else its discretion in the premises, except in
case of those Nations of China who may come
here for other purposes than labor simply. In
other words we are not to interfere with the
going and coming of Chinese subjects who
seek to invest capital. engage in commerce,
study or travel: to engage in the practice of
the learned professions or scientific observa-
ton or Investigation. The Chinese already here
are to have the same protection of life and
property as is guaranteed to our own citi-
Gems.
1.-THE Commerce ial treaty provides that
no differential or discriminating duties
shall be levied by either country at their
ports to the disadvantage OF the merchant ma
rine or commerce of the other, which is, in
fact In accordance with our statutes as ut
present in force. 1t appears also that the
treaties do not profess to impair, abolish or
annul the Burlingame treaty, but rather de-
fine and supplement it, and supply regula-
tions in certain particulars omitted in the
other document. The Commercial treaty
specifies that the Americans shall not import
opium into China, an article, by the way, that
we do not have to export, and in return for
this concession a very important consideration
is provided in the way of special relief from
duties on our manufactured cotton fabrics to
our great advantage over English goods"

An Unfortunate Affair.
Banner.

A serious difficulty occurred at
the Banner Office to-day between a
reporter of the paperand Mr.. George
GrosspOint of South Nashville. The
friends of both parties regret the af-
fair exceedingly, and it is to be hop
ed that their differences will be
amicably adjusted without further
trouble. The difficulty came about
i'm this way:
This morning, while the reporter
was sitting at his desk, MI. Gross
point came in and remarked that
he had an item for the paper. The
reporter thanked him and asked
him to state the facts and he would
take them down. Mr.. GPOsspoint
then related the following
"Last night about 10 O'Clock my
wife retired to bed in her usual
arose her hair-was almost white"
Turned white in a single night
from fright ," asked the report
err.
mo; it was white when she went
to bed and has been for these eight
years." said Mr.. GrOsSpOint.
The reporter arose, n striking
square out from the shoulder, land
ed Mr.. GrOsspOint in Il heap in the
northwest corner of the room. He
then lifted him in his arms and
bore him to the elevator, down
which he let him slide, headfore-
most, into the press room. The
pIeSsman was spoken to, and a mo-
ment later the mangled G~rosspoint
was thrust into the press and run
through, coming out looking rs thin
as church festival oyster soup.
Friends here interfered, and Gross
point was conveyed home on a win
dOw-blind. Latest advices are that
GrosspOint, though seriously injur-
ed, may yet recover. For the sake
of his distressed family, it is TO be
hoped he may. No arrests.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN
rae Tempcranee rffe

An exchange, the Rural New
Yorker, makes the following retipc-
tons on the growing temperance
sentiment OF the country and recent
legislation on the subject :
The belief which has so long
been an "article of Iaitltn among
~teetotalers, Scent 10 b. rapidly
! gaining converts from the putiic at
large -tiuit tire most eifectual way
of dealing with the liquor question
is To treat all intoXicants as poisnns
and prohibit their manufacture and
sale Wherever public opinion viii
support such Il nIt4t~ure. Tie re-
cent agitation on this question in
various states is doing lnucI tueY$-
tematize the work and las created.
IL growing tendency in many al the
states to prohibit the sale and man-
ulactnre of intoxicating beverages
by constitutional amendments. and
to restrict the traffic in them rs
much as possible where public
opinion is not yet prepared FOR ex-
treme measures.
Next to Maine, Kansas has taken
the most decisive step by enacting
a law prohibiting the importation,
manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors except for medicinal,
scientific and mechanical purposes.
This bill passed the Legislature of
that state by a majority of I'VE
three fourths, and in it we believe
the moral sentiment of the people
is reflected. 1t is entitled to a fair
and hearty support.
In Missouri the Lower House,
and in North Carolina both Houses,
reporter f%avorably on a similar bill.
In Texas the senate asserts, by a
vote of tWenty-three to seven, that
prohibition is there needed. In Ar
kansas the popular branch favors
it; and in Indiana and Pennsylva-
MIA the amendment goes to the peO-
pie for ratification. Wisconsin's
"antitreating" bill, though severely
criticised and just declared inopera-
tive by the courts on account of an
error in the text of the bill, was
also Il step in the right direction,
as it struck of the root of a per-
nici0us evil-the custom of a
social treating" This wide
spread agitation means some
thing. 1t means a growing belief
that while ''moral suasion" is good
as far as it goes, it is not sufficient.
1t means that the strong arm of the
law is to be stretched forth to escue
the actual or prospective drunkard
from his downward course, and to
punish those who tempt him to de-
graduation and crime while threat
ening his family with disgrace and
perjury. The temperance question
is 10 have more weight than it has
yet had in National and state legis-
lation and politics.

TURE OF MAN.


Each creature of the world below
Is like a painting, book or show
a mirror for our viewing.
~ SHOWS our life, 1t shows our death,
Our state and lot from earliest breath,
Anu course we are pursuing.
The rose is emblem of our state,
The graceful comment on our fate.
And story of our living.
IN morning hour how sweet 1t blooms,
But wastes its f~reshneSs and perfumes
When night its shade is giving.
The breathing blossom wastes aHay,
And comes to pstleness and decay,
And dies while il is rising,
IL is at once both old and new,
It's virgin charm, its aged hue,
Us beauty sacrificing.
And thus the spring OF human ag-
The morning OF youths pilgrimage
a little while will flourish.
The eve OF life its morn DESTROYS,
And finds the end OF all its Joys
In shades that twilight nOurisIi.
It's beauty all is quickly past,
And all its n pales at last,
While yet its life is flowing
As flowers to hay, as gems TO clay,
Does man 70 ashes pass away
To Death his tribute showing.
Our life and being, as they go,
Can only pain aud toll bestOw,
To death our life exposing.
As dying life, and sorrow joys,
Night day, and flood the port, destroys,
So morn In eve is closing.
Pain strikes US in our earliest breath,
And always wears the face of DEATH
And toll deaths part is playing.
To US in labor IL appears,
Is with US in the midst Of tears,
And deaths last throe betraying.
hen in this law, man, see thy fate,
And read thy nature and thy state;
Thine own condition knowing.
What thy vast In thine unborn prime,
MaySt be I'm this and future time,
Thy whole existence showing.
Lament thy fault and mourn thy pain,
Thy pride suppress. thy will restrain,
Thy lofty looks subduing.
Thou Guide and Ruler of the soul,
Do Thou the mind and life control,
And keep them right pursuing.

A CALIFORNIA paper in express
ing the hope that President Gar
field will not yield to the 'teInper-
ance PRESSURE" for no wine at the
White House, says: "The United
States cannot afford to stand out be-
fore the world as par excellence,
the gawky nation" We can imag-
inc that Mrs. Hayes, after the first
state dinner given at the White
House during her regime, when
honorable senators and men
of "high degree" scrambled help
lessly about in the stupidity and
awkwardness of intoXication, felt
that there was danger lest the land
we love represent itself a. too truly
a ''gawky nation" No woman
can feel hOnOredf when her hospital
ity brings to public exhibition
the possibilities of human beings
for degradation and disgrace.

Republican Estimate OF COnkIing,
d., T-...J mN-

There are few men in public life
and in politics who appear to be
laboring under a strange in~fatuation
respecting Senator COnkling. They
act upon the assumption that some
thing direful will take place il he is
not allowed to have his w way.
Like the spoiled and violent child
of mild parents, these gentlemen
fear to provoke or cross the New
York Senator lest he become angry,
and, in his rage, smash the party
furniture. These gentlemen should
labor to disabuse themselves. Mr..
Conkling did not create the Repub.
lican party. In no sense is he q
sole proprietor. When the books
are balanced it will be found that
he has inflicted quite as great inju-
ry upon the party as he has confer
red benefits.
