As the new apportionment has not
greatly lessened the republican ma
jority in this district, and as there is
no perceptible division Of stalwarts
and half breeds hereabouts, the work
of selecting a representative for con-
gress will in all probability be done
by the electors bearing the republi-
can party label, and to that party
will fall the credit or disgrace OF
their choice. Will they infiict Geo.
c. Hazelton on the people for two
years more, or will they send bet
ter man? Can and will they send a
man to Washington whose sterling
worth will keep them in lively re-
of his presence there?
If they can, let them do it.

Traffic In Chinese Women.
North China Herald

An Australian Chinaman, when anx.
iouS to have wife of his own nation,
sends letter to an agent in Hong Kong.
The following is condensed translation
of one of these epistles: "I want wife
She must be a maiden under twenty
years of age, and must not have left her
fathers house. She must have never
read book, and her eyelashes must be
half an inch in length. Her teeth must
be as sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon.
Her breath must be like unto the scents
of the magnificent odorous groves of
Java, and her attire must be from the
silken weavers of the Kali Ching, which
are on the banks of the greatest river in
the world--the overf1owing Yang-tse-
Kiang," The price of a Chinese
woman delivered in Sydney is
e38; but two Chinese women only cost
Esq; therefore the heather Chinese i'm
port the women in couples. The i'm
porter never sees his women before tdey
arrive, and then he generally selects the
best looking one. The other is shown
around to number of well-to do China
men, and, after they have inspected her,
she is submitted to what may be called
public action. AT recent sale at Sgd
ney young girl aged about 10 was of
fered; and, after some spirited bidding,
she was purchased by wealthy Chinese
storekeeper. whose place of business is
in one OF the leading towns of New
South Wales, for 9120. The melan
choly aspect of the Celestial girl as she
went away in company with the man
who purchased her, was deplorable to
the last degree.

CLOTURE.
GIadstone's Gag Law Scheme
Rushed Through.

LONDON, March 30.-OVer a hundred
members of Parliament, who had been alb
sent from London, returned yesterday to
vote on the cloture question. Only a few
members have paired. All except one did
so on account of illness. Over three hun
dred Liberals and the whole Conservative
strength, with four exceptions, have signi.
fed their intention of voting.
In the House of Commons to night the
debate on the cloture resolution was re-
sumed. John Bright arose to speak, and
was received with loud cheers from the
Liberal benches. He said there could be
no doubt that unless something
was done to deliver the House from
its difficulties, it would stand before the
country as having neglected its duty. If
the proposed resolution erred, 1t was in not
being sufficiently severe. He concluded
with an appeal to members generally to as
sist the government in the discharge of its
duty.
Mr.. Sexton said he would rather his name
90 down to posterity with the names of the
base informers who had sworn away the
lives of innocent Irishmen, than with the
names of the Irish members voting with the
government.
The resolution was carried by vote OF
31S to 279. The House was crowded in
every part.

A QUESTION FOR CoNsIDERATIoN.-
This much, at least, may be said, that
the prevention of disasters like that
which has now visited the dwellers on
the Mississippi banks, and the creation
of a permanent paVigable channel in a
stream which, with its tributaries, reaches
nineteen States and three territor es, and
may become the cheapest highway of
transportation for the products of two.
thirds of the total area of the United
States, are objects far more worthy
of encouragement from the FED
eral Government than any ocean
steamer lines or projected canals or ship
railways which have been or can be sug-
gested. If this great work can be done
by State or corporate means, so much the
better; but it is not yet clear that it is
thus achievable. The whole question
is proper one for the immediate and
careful consideration of Congress. in
order that if the nation declines the task
some other means for its accomplish
ment may be found. -Nss0 X0fk Tines.

STRIKES IN SPAIN.
Great Excitement In Barcelona and
Other Towns In Catalonia.

MADRID, March 3O.-A serious strike has
occurred in Barcelona and other towns, OPP
posed TO a reform of the tariff, and work
shops and mills have been closed. In Bar
celona there have been fifty arrests.
In the Chamber of Deputies Senior Gonza-
lez. Minister of the Interior, confirmed the
report of disturbances IN Barcelona. It is
believed that If the movement spreads TO
other towns the Captain General will be au-
thorizrd TO declare the Catalonian provinces
in a state OF siege. In Corona, Sabadell and
Larassa the shops and manufactures are
being closed. There have been demonstra-
tions bylaborers in Andalusia 10 consequence
of the distress occasioned by the prolonged
drought. Tranquility has been restored by
relief measures.
The strikers in Barcelona paraded the
streets TO-DAY, and burned the sentry boxes
belonging 10 the Octroi Guards. Many ad-
ditionsl arrests were made.
A deputation of Catalan operatives were
given hearing before a committee or the
Chamber of Deputies to-day. They repre-
sented that the adoption of the Franco
Spanish treaty would deprive 100000 work
men Of the means of subsistence.

CIVIL RIGHTS.

FERNANDINA, FLA, March 28.-Editor
Morning NeaOs: Q1ite "scene" took place
on the Fernandina and Jacksonville train
this morning. just before It left the latter
city. 1t was brought about by the refusal
of Conductor W. E. Livingston to allow a
negro to ride in the ladies' car. Mr.. Liv-
iugstou sent the baggage master with a re-
quest for him to move into the car provided
for cOlored people, which is 10 every respect
precisely like the ladies' car. The "man
and brother" declined to move, whereupon
Mr.. Livingston, having politely repeated
the demand in person, with no better re-
suit, instructed the baggage master to put
him out. which was quickly done. A num-
ber of Northern guests on the train were
highly indignant, and expressed feelings of
tendereet sympathy for the ''poor colored
man." who, one of them said, ''is much
better than the Southern white man." They
advised the elected darkey to sue the road,
but, as he finally got into the proper car and
went on to Fernandina, 1t is not probable
that he will act on the advice. L. w. s.
