The Chinese immigration bill as
passed by the Senate Thursday of
last week provides that from and af-
ter the expiration of ninety days af-
ter the passage of the act. and until
the expiration of twenty years after
its passage the coming of Chinese
laborers TO the United State shall be
suspended. and prescribes penalty
of imprisonment not exceeding one
year and a fine of not more than $500
against the master of any vessel who
brings any Chinese labOrer to this
country during that period. 1t furth-
err provides that the classes of Chinese

students, travellers, diplomatic agents
and Chinese laborers who were in

They Don't Like to Burn the Old Lists.

How the Democrats will persist in
hanging on to the old and rotten reg
istration lists! 1t seems as if they re-
fuse to be parted with something near
and dear to them. When Mr.. Davis
moved, in the House of Delegates
that the old books be destroyed be-
fore the new ones are made, they
voted down the amendment. Ofwhat
value can those corrupted list be un-
less the new registers are supposed TO
use them for copying into the new
books? Mr.. Davis desired to provide
against that very contingency. but
the Depocrats refused to accede to
any such wholesome principle. But,
if the old lists are to be permitted to
remain in existence, the responsible
ity upon Governor Hamilton is all
the greater to appoint as registers
men who will be above such petty
trlckery.-Balto. american.

The finding of the Court Martial in
Sergeant Mason's case, sentencing
him to be discharged from the army
and to undergo eight years. impris-
onment in the penitentiary, while
seemingly a severe punishment for
shooting at Guiteau and missing him,
must be estimated partly from the
military standpoint from which it
was delivered. The detestation of
Guiteau and his crime is deep and
universal, but no man, whether sold
Ter or civilian, can be permitted to
wreak Individual vengence upon
him. Above all, the demands of
military discipline require that such
offence as that of Sergeant Mason
should be suppressed with strong
hand, and that soldiers should be
taught to constantly remember that
there is power greater than the
bayonet and more potent than the
mailed hand in the la vs. of the land

The main ground Of said opinion was
that the recent decision OF the Su-

The. Annapolis correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, writing under
date of March 18th, says: "It is re-
ported that Governor Hamilton is
feeling quite friendly to Senator Cor
man since the latter has parted COM
pany with men whom the Governor
has been accustomed to look upon as
not his friends. In consequence of
this it is also reported that most of
the Governors appointments will be
confirmed. and that the Governor
will not feel much aggrieved If he is
called upon to substitute several new
names for important places where
the first nominations have been
strongly antagonized. The state
ment is made that Mr., Cotton struck
at Senator German on the police
commissioner matter to show his
power. and by that means force HIM
self into the canal presidency.
Enough friends of Mr.. German be-
lieved this to make the question one
for prominent consideration. The
pressure upon Mr.. German to stand
firm has been strong. and in his pres
ent position he Is said to have enough
support in the board of public works
to make his ground sure. 1t Ia not
probably that Mr.. German will re.
tire from the canal presidency at this
time or that he will yield an inch.
So the war is not ended yet.

SODA FOR BURNs.-All kinds Of
burns, including scalds and sun burns,
are almost Immediately relieved by
the application of a solution of BIZ
carbonate OF snda to the burnt surface.
1t must be remembered that dry soda
will not do unless it is surrounded
with cloth moist enough to dissolve
it. The method of sprinkling it on
and covering with wet cloth IS often
the very best. But it is sufficient to
wash the wound repeatedly with
strong solution. 1t would be well to
keep bottle of it always on hand,
made SO strong that more or less
settles on the bottom. This is what
is called q saturated solution, and
really such a solution as this is form
ed when the dry soda is sprinkled on
and coveed with moistened Goth.

Youthful Marriage.

Last week Ella Shores, aged ID,
was married to Howard E. White,
aged 16, both of Danes Quarter Dis
trict, near Princess Anna. The in
terest attaching to this marriage will
be apparent when it is stated that
the girl was the divorced wife of her
step-father. Sydney Shores. aged As.
On February 5. 1880, the Rev. Mr..
Bowen married Shores and the girl,
then II years old. On the 9th of the
same month Shores was arrested at
his home, in Danes Quarter, and the
Rev, Mr.. Bowen was arrested In Mt.
Vernon and taken before Justice
Robinson, of Princess Anne, and
committed to Jail in default of bail.
Sydney had married his uncle's wild
ow and she had not been dead more
than two months when he induced
Ella, his wife's daughter by her FIRST
husband, to marry him, as stated.
The child was to young to know any
better and no blame was attached to
her. In this State a penalty of $500
is imposed upon man for marrying
his step-daughter and the minister is
fined 81 800 for performing the cere-
mony. Both Shores and Bowen were
indicted at the April term of court,

the same term, Shores was convict
