WHEAT prospects are being largely dis

that the newspapers shall have ouly the dis

Kansas, Missouri and southern Illinois
speak dscouragingly. The crop there is
from ten to twelve days more forward than

gloomy forecasts tighten a little as they
come northward and we are led to believe
that southern and middle Indiana are not so
badly off, while northern Indiana, above
Peru, is still somewhat better. On the other

nothing, bad or good, about him; simply,

The renewed attacks of mere theorists on the
protective policy of this government, which has
existed since the formation of the Federal con-
sttutiOn, Is a little remarkable, in view of the
fact that all practical knowledge on the subject
Is opposed TO them, Their theories seem pretty
enough and fascinating. They tell us that the
oceans and the seas the natural laws which
have constituted adequate barriers and protec-
ton. But 1t costs more to transport goods from
Boston to indianapolis than 1t costs to send
them across the Atlantic ocean. Then do we
need protective tariff az ainst Massac hnsetts in

controversy. Massachusetts and Indiana stand

The controversy is about protective tariff in

The theory OF European statesmen has ever been

SOMETHING seems to be ont of gear in the

masters are not uncommon. OF late, and ccnsid-
cradle comment has been caused thereby. BE-
fore anything has been said, however, about
West Point. over-zealous champions arise to re-
mark, hastily, that paymasters are recruited
from civil ranks, and that West Point should
not be held responsible for their conduct. A
great deal has been heard by the public abont

 Beautiful scenes, alas that I must leave you! There are many lovely views from different points, the one from the western brow of the mountain being magnificent, especially when draped in the gorgeous hues of autumn. All these scenes would repay visit from those who can appreciate their beauty and have time to enjoy it. The inhabitants are too busy to do that fully. The scenery and the pure, dry atmosphere, once known, would attract city people, 1t seems to me, could suitable accommo- dations be furnished them. Why don't some one try ?

evening, for our guide took his party right upon the stage, where seats were offered us and where we sat half hour or so. We did not take any active part, for women never play in Chinese the atre and tho men who represent them demand larger salaries for personating such degraded beings. The plays are all historical. Some of them are so long they last several days and few of them two weeks. This ope,I believe, required l four evenings The orchestra was on the stage behind the actors. Its part seemed to be to make as much noise as | possible and that seemed the aim also of most of the actors. We went behind the scenes to see the wartlrobes. Some ot the garments were almost bey ond price on account of the amount of ex- quisita silk hand embroidery upon them.
 The employees in the shops work from eight in the morning till ten at night. We entered one small work room with one little window to admit light and air where 50 men were running Wheeler and Wilson sewing machines making blue overalls at the rate of $1.1O per dozen. At night these workmen put covers on their machines, then long boards on the machines or somewhere else, shut up the window and go to bed on these boards. The garments made in these shops are for the Ameri- can market The Chinamen wear no clothing made in America, because they can import cheaper garments from their own country.
 Lastly we visited some private families and the women's quarters. In one house we saw bright, pretty little baby which small slave girl about 10 years of age was carrying around strap ped to her back in the Indian fashion.
 Our sympathy was aroused for these poor, degraded girls and women, most of whom are slaves leading low and helpless lives. Occasionally they run away from their masters and seek refuge and protection among the whites, but generally they are dragged back before they make good their escape. We went home with our hearts heavy with their sorrows and degradation.
 Much has been done in San Francisco for the education and enlightenment of these strangers, but as yet the light of the Gospel has scarcely penetrated their dark abodes. Still there is encourage ment in this, that many of their children and also many of their young men are in the school established not only to teach them English, but more particu- larly to give them a knowledge of 't the way, the truth and the life." If you wish to see strange people with pecu- liar customs and habits, you need not go to foreign country. but procure guide and visit the Chinatown of any of the larger cities of California. F. A. D.
