L When Alfonzo, the profigate young
King of Spain, felt his throne totter-
inc under him, and his soldiers de-
\ claring for Republic, he hied to
Germany, and after consultation
with Bismarck on the situation, was
Il made Colonel of regiment of Uh-
ans. Immediately after this military
honor was conferred upon him, he
fastened to Paris, where he appeared
1 in his new regimentals. The rabbel
hooted him, as Bismarck doubtless
predicted and Alfonso in all probabil-
ity expected they would do. He rode
with officials of the French Republic,
and having no cause to fear violence,
as none was attempted, he was given
the credit Of bearing himself nobly
and bravely. The fact that he had
been hooted and Kissed was telegraph
ed to Spain, where for the time, it had
the desired effect of creating a re-
action in his favor and apparently
popularlzlng him with the people.
The French made ample apology for
the dlsreputable conduct Of the Paris
hoodlums, and the offended Spaniards
expressed themselves satisfied. The
diplomacy of the French had the effect
0l counteracting the popularity which
Alfonso acquired among his own peo-
PIE by the insulting manner in which
the Paris populace received him, and
to-day his throne is as unsteady as it
was before he visited the French me-
Hopolls. On last Wednesday three
thousand armed peasants assembled
az valencia; proclaimed Republic,
ana cried down with Alfonso. Severe

INJURED, followed this declaration, and
s'sntually the troops compelled the
PEASANTS to retreat. To counteract

Owing to the importation of Amer
lean meat, butter, cheese, flour and
grain, farming in England has for
the last few years been very unl roft-
able. SO serious has the matter be
come that, instead of devoting the
land to its Legitimate use, much OF it
has been allowed to go to waste,
while large areas have been rented to
London sportsmen as game preserves.
1t is said, on the authority ofa writer
in one of the leading English reviews
that no less than 2,OC) 100000 acres
have been diverted from the actual
culture of crops within the last three
OF four years, while as remedy for
the evil the farmers have been agita-

In reviewing the situation London
paper says: 80 great and SO univer
sal is the prevailing depression in ali
branches of agricultural industry
that great changes may be impending
ia our agricultural system" Then
the paper goes on to say that drastic
remedies may be found necessary,
chief of which may be radical re
duction of rents. This is a levehng

man can object, for while it reduces

ity of Chinese in this country is often
referred to by their apologists as prov.
ing that the raceis characterized by
childlike integrity, but it really
proves nothing of the kind, because
their commercial habits are the re-

but from fear of a law that makes the
life Of the insolvent debtor n forfeit.
A Chinaman who will pay his debts

Immigration to the northern por
ton of Whatcom county continues in
an unabated stream. 1t is occasioned
partly by the opposition which makes
steamboat travel on the east side of
Sound so inexpensive, partly by the
railroad boom raging along Belling-
ham Bay and the upper Nooksack
valley, and partly by general faith in
in the speedy developement of that
portion of our territory. Our neigh
Dor Of the Mail at La Conner would
enjoy more favor among his northern
local patrons did he use less sarcas
tic and otherwise disparaging allu,

We are sorry to observe tendency
on the part of the Chinese govern
ment to enforce laws discriminating
against American residents. 1t is
even affirmed that this enlightened
intolerance. making no account Of
the fatherhood of God and the broth
erhood ofman, has gone so far in the
direction Of narrow and impolitic
exclusiveness that it is seriously pro
Josed to forbid by treaty the immi
sration of Americans altogethec, ex-
cept under such hard conditions ana
restrictions as mus greatly impair
heir usefulness to the commerce and
industries of the Empire. The exist
once of deplorable popular preju-
dice against Americans in China has
.ong been matter Of great concern
% our statesmen, and many commu
nications on the subject have passed
between Washington and Peking
The Chinese newspapers have gener-
lily reflected this unjust sentiment
With malevolent fidelity, one of thei1
accusations being that Americans do
not assinilate with the ancient peo
pie among whom they have cast their
OF, but preserve the customs, habits
o2 life. social traditions and language
Of their own people, seldom renounce
their allegiance tothe United States
Of take an intelligent interest in
the political affairs Of the Empire. 1t
is affirmed that they do not invest
their rearnings in China, but send
most of their money out Of the coun-
try; that they import nearly all they
wear and eat, showing but an indiff-
erent appreciation of silk attire and
rat soup; that they maintain places
Of worship OF their own, apart from
the indigenous Joss-house, perform
ing therein the senseless and horrible
rites Of Christianity, regardless. Such
representations appear finally to have
hal their effect upon the Imperial
government, and unfriendly legisla
ton is the result. We trust the mat
ter will be promptly investigated by
our State Department and the Chi
nese Government taught that it can
not, in obedience to reasonless pop
ular clamor, deny to Americans the
inalienable right to so where they
please, live how they will and do what
they like Wasp.
