That Little Hatchet.

"Come heah, George Washington,
you black ape," exclaimed Rev. Amini-
dab Bledsoe, of the Austin Blue Light
Colored Tabernacle, to Sunday-school
scholar who had just removed big wad
of something or other from his mouth.
The boys trembling limbs carried him
into the immediate lresence'of the irate
sheperd.
" Yer was chewin' terbacker in de

"George Washington, chawin' ter

but when yer has got so shameless yer

DEATH is neither an end nor be-
ginning. 1t IS a transition, not from
one existence to another, but from
one state of existence to another.
No line is broken in the chain Of be-
ing, any more than in passing from
infancy to manhood, from manhood
to old age. Death brings US again
to our friends. They are waiting for
us, and we shall not long delay.
They have gone before us, and are
like the angels in heaven. They
stand upon the borders Of the grave
to welcome us, with the counten-
ance of affection which they wore
on earth, yet more lovely, more ra-
diant, more spiritual. The far coun>
try toward which we journep seems
nearer to US, and the way less dark !;
for thou hast gone before, passing
80 quietly to thy rest that day itself
dies not more calmly.
Obi though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fe9rs are laid aside,
Ii hut remember only
Such as these have lived ard died.

We take the following from the
Tacoma News:

We take the following from the
Tacoma News:
The success of a Chinese firm in
obtaining large contract for street
grading from the Seattle city corr
poration over American bidders,
brings directly home to the people
of Washington Territory the practi-
cal phases of the Chinese question.
So long as this species of business
competition was confined to San
Francisco it was a matter of only
sentimental concern to the Puget
Sound cities. Now it has become a
question of local importance, which
is likely to enter into and influence
political considerations. Not that
there is anything very alarming in
the fact that thesChinese are doing
certain public work that legitimate
ly belongs to our own people. 1t has
been we'll known that Chiiese labor
in all branches in which they are
instructed is so cheap and so con-
trollcd that white competition with
them is out of the question. Doubt
less the grading being done in Seat
tie, and all other similar work, will
always go to the coolies if they are
permitted to compete for it, as they
can make money at prices which
Americans would regard as starva-
tion wages. In the course of time,
if permitted to come here, the Ori-
entails might absorb great part of
the available work, and the whites
would either have to import coolies
on their own account, and control
their services, as the six companies
now do, or gradually relinquish the
country to the cheap throng. Luck.
lily this tide has been stopped for u
number Of years, which will give
the government time to consider the
question carefully and formulate a
permanent policy in regard to this
class of immigrants. The people
have learned by experience that the
question of race is not to be ignored,
and that homogenity in nation build
ing is essential to success. Our ex>
perienee with the African race, and
it's terrible results, ought to have
taught the statesmen who made the
treaty with China that the Oriental
hordes could only come to our shores
as virtual slaves, and that their set
tlement here in large numbers would
lead to conflicts and bloodshed.

THE UNKNOWN LAND.

II Fortune, with smiling face,
Strew roses our way,
When shall we stoop to pick them up?
To-day, my love: today
But should she frown, with face of care,
And talk Of coming sorrow,
When shall we grieve, if grieve we must?
Tomorrow, love; tomorrow!
If those whove wronged us own their faults.
And kindly pity pray.
When shall We listen and forgiven
To-day, my love- today
But If stern Justice urge rebuke,
And warmth from mem'ry borrow,
When shall we chide, If chide we must
Tomorrow, love; Tomorrow

 LONDON, May 23.-In the House of Com mons today Gladstone refused when re- quested to produce any correspondence which it was alleged he had had or read between himself and Parnell, O'Shea or Forster, or either of them in relation to the release of the suspects. He warmly said that he had denied that there was compact and would entertain no request which implied that his denial was incomplete.
 In the House of Commons this evening on division the second reading of the arrears bill was carried by vote of 269 for to 157 against.
 In the House of Commons this evening 8 split occurred among the Parnellites.

Am Inhuman Fathers Revolting Crime
 NEW ORLEANS, May 23.-Information has been received here of brutal murder in Livingstone parish. Sunday week ago 8 twelve-year old son of James Griffin, negro, ate piece of meat while his father was at church. The father returned and missing the meat the boy confessed to having taken it. The father tied the boy to horizontal pole and beat him horribly with 8 heavy stick until the boy fell insens ible to the ground. His father then procured 8 gun, placed the muzzle to the boys head and blew his brains out To conceal his crime he carried the body to swamp, sharpened four sticks, drove them through the body and staked it on to prevent it's floating. The boys mother was compelled to witness the whole affair. The boys absence caused inquiries to be made and Griffin said he had run away. He went in search of the boy and has not been heard of since. Suspicion caused the arrest of the mother, when she confessed and guid- ed the citizens to where her son had been Staked down.

Moses Taylor Dead-A Brief Sketch Of
 the Great Merchants Career.
 NEW YORK, May 23.-Moses Taylor died at s:15 o'clock a. m, to-day at his home, No.12 Fifth avenue. He had been in feeble health for a long time, and of late had been confined to his house. He became worse last Friday night, and gradually continued to grow weak ST until he expired
 Mir. Taylor was native of New York city, being born January II, 1906. At the age of fifteen years. after receiving 8 common school education, he entered the mercantile
 firm of G. G. & s. s. Rowland as shipping clerk, where his business ability gained him rapid promotion. He was allowed by the firm to make small consignments of goods on his own account and entrust them to the cap tains and supercargoes yoyaging for the house. By this means he amassed, at the age of twenty-six years, capital of 1000 with which he began mercantile business for him. self. His prospecting business received 8 heavy blow by the burning of his store with all it's contents in the great fire of December 16 1885. This misfortune he sagaciously turned to account, and by importations to supply deficiencies in the market caused by the fire he more than reimbursed his losses.
 He began the importation of sugars from Cuba and built up large
 and remunerative business. In 1855
 he became president of the City bank, which position he has ever since held In 1854 Mr. Taylor was one of the few capitalists who or-
 ganized the first Atlantic Cable company and was always one of it's chief financial main I stays. During the war he was member of ! the Union Defence committee, and enjoyed the confidence of President Lincoln and his !

ST.

Laughton is report ed to be on the war path and to intend hand ing in his resignation from the bench, when he will sally forth with the intention of get ting the drop on Waterloo, who is well pre- pared for the encounter. Ex-Judge H. NJ. Jones acknowledges that he wrote the para graph in the Chronicle at which Laughton took offense. No names were mentioned in the article. Public feeling is unanimously with Waterloo.

Comet s.A, or Comet Wells.

The comet may now be seen with the naked
 eye on any clear evening, though the bright
 moonlight greatly interferes with it's satisfsc- tory observation. It looks now like star of
 the fifth magnitude, and has no appearance of a tail But it is increasing rapidly in size and brightness, and, if the moon were out of the way would be comet worthy of atten- tion, though from present appearances there is little hope of it's attaining the grand pro portions of the comet that loomed up in the 1 northernask last summer.
 Comet A must be looked for in the north. west as soon as 1t is dark enough to see small stars. Its right ascension on the 18th is 3h. 44m., and it's declination is 59 degrees, 20
 minutes north It is in the constellation of Camelopardus, about Il degrees northeast of | Capella. On the 29th it will not be far from
 degrees northeast of Capella, while such is the rapidity of it's motion that on the 31st 1t
 will be found nine degrees west of the bright 1 star, for which comets seem to have re- | markabIe affinity. It is travelling rapidly south, and when it reaches perihelion on l June 10th it's right ascension will be 5h, 45m,
 and it's declination will be 1so, 48'. It will then pass beyond the snn and so near him as to be invisible for some time before and after perihel1on. By the 18th of June it will probably be visible in the West short time | after sunset. About the 2d of July it will be l near the bright star Regulus-
 Comet receives it first name for being the first comet discovered in the year 1882 If others follow they will be designated by
