EASTERN sentlmentality on the Chi

EASTERN sentlmentality on the Chi nese question is of the same kind as Eastern sentimentalitY on the Indian question. It will do very we'll for people wno never had anything to do with the harbarians of either race, but 1t is the sheerest kind of nonsence when apIl.ed to actual surroundings as we have them in tue West. If there is any good in either we have been unable to find it out, but we rather like the idea oi 8 Chinese colony and an Indian reservation in Mas. sachus.tts and other Eastern States.

t6CtuISHIp ANru A".n, ...."-e.. Blaine's influence, WAS elevated ln the head of the government. We have anUtner example of the queer workings of time in the appointment of Mir. Chandler to the head of the Navy Depart ment. The story comes from Washington that Mrs. Chandler Was the Miss Hale, whose pie ture was found upon the person of Booth, the murderer of Presi- dent Lincoln. Although nothing was known as tu the relations be- tween BeUth and Miss Hale. the tiudiHg of the picture fOrned the basis of d gIoi many roinances. "rhe same wnirliglg of time which h IS brought this about has also made the then young son of the mAriyred Lincoln Secretary of War. It nuw appears that, according to official etiquette, it is the duty of the Secretary oi War 10 escort the wife uf his next in rank to dinuer on state Occ2 sIOns. He must take the wife of the Secretary of the Navy. Sec retary Lincoln, in short, must es- corL the oue-tlme sweetheart uf the assassin of his distinguished father.
