who are the poorest and most ignorant class wash themselves from head to foot at the end of each days work. All classes are ire quent customers of the barber, who gives minute attention to their heads, faces, ears and neckss
 Among the common Iaborers there is little sympathy for sick and injured comrades. If a man is likely to become burden, the other members of his gang want to get rid of him as soon as possible. It is commonly believed by the white bosses on the railways that the Chinese doctors put sick men out of the way by poison when they think they cannot be speedily cured. A case was told mo in Or- egon of coolie railway laborer who had an arm broken. It was set by the company's doctor, and was doing well, but the mans comrades insisted on bringing Chinese doc- tor to attend him. The doctor came from a distant camp and gave the patient dose. In an hour the fellow was dead. In such cases there is no investigation; nobody cares that there is one Chinaman less. The death of a cart horse is of much more consequence. One great difficulty the employers of Chinese labor have to contend with is the supersti- tion of these queer people. Their religious worship consists chiefly in propitiating the maleyolent spirits of the dead. If a Chinese domestic fancies there is ghost in the house he departs at once, and leaves an inscription behind to warn his successors. It often hap pens that family will be unable to keep 0 servant longer than single day. Man after man will come and go without giving any reason for his abrupt departure. At last the warning sign is found in the kitchen or the servants room and expunged then there is no more trouble. Not long ago two China men were killed in Oregon by the prem mature explosion of a blast on new railway line. One of their fellow workmen declared that just before the explosion he saw two devils come to the opposite bank of the river and heard them talking. Thereupon the whole gang of forty men dropped work, and could not be induced, by threats or persuasions, to return to the spot.

THE MEXICAN TREATY.

As there is every reason why the United
 States should have extensive and profitable commercial relations with Mexico all efforts
 to improve the trade between the two ooun
 tries should be heartily welcomed and sup
 ported. The reciprocity treaty just -negc-
 tiated by General Grant and Mr. Prescott
 with the Commissioners of Mexico is an im-
 portant step in the right direction, and the
 advantages secured to the manufacturers of
 the United States by it. are numerous and
 weighty.
 By this treaty large number of our maa-
 ufactured articles will be received in Mexico
 free, not only from port duties, but also
 from internal taxation while in transit to the
 place of consumption. The articles to be so
 treated are under seventy three heads. Un-
 der one head they admit machinery of all
 sorts, classes and descriptions. for mining,
 agricultural and other purposes; under another heading they admit agricultural i'm plements; under another, wagons, coaches, and all sorts of vehicles that are pulled by animals; and under the head of tools for mechanical, scientific and all other purpose, they admit tools that are composed of brass iron, steel or wood, or any combination of these materials. Under another head they admit free all classes of rolling stock, from the passenger car to the steam engine, that are used upon railroads. Then there are many other articles which are admitted among which are petroleum, crude and re- fined; barbed wire for fencing, with all it's fixtures; houses of wood or iron, built ready to put up in that country; pumps for mines, irrigating and all other purposes for which pumps can be used clocks and many other articles extensively manufactured in this country. It is believed that these articles being received free from all duty will find 8 very large market in Mexico, and Mexico will find g corresponding benefit in the rapid de- velopment of her resources and to some ex- tent by finding market in our country for her products. There are but two articles produced in this country which are admitted free from Mexico under the treaty. One is crude sugar and the other is leaf tobacco.
 General Grant is thoroughly satisfied that this treaty will be of great benefit to the of this country, to all persons in transportation by rail and water and to investors in Mexican railroads, and to the whole people, while it will not work to the prejudice of any class of producers whatever in our country. :" The treaty is now in the hands of the Senate | Committee on Foreign Relations, and that committee has invited General Grant and MT. Prescott, the American Commissioners who negotiated the treaty. to appear before 1 it today, when the matter will be thoroughly | discussed General Grant has very truly | said that failure on our part to avail ourselves of this opportunity of developing relatively commercial relations with the | Mexican people will probably shut out the producers and exporters of this country for many years to come from the Mexican mark ats

PUBLIC DIsCONTENT.

The English tours of the Empress of Aus tria are so costly that this winter she will not leave home because it would create so much public discontent If her husband owned 8 block of tenement houses in America she could afford to go where she wished by rais- ing the rents.-B0st072 Globe.
 For clear, bracing winter weather there is no climate equal to that of Montana.

Chinese Traits.

There is mistaken notion in the East that the Chinese are always humble and suDm1s- siva and ranch mt upon and abused by the wb;tas of tbe Pacific coast. There was a time when the hoodIums of San Francisco mal- treated the Asiatic emigrants shamefuily, but that time has gone by.

Instead of being defersntial and timid he IS often push ino and ipsoIent He does not give way in tbe street. He hustles you as rudely as an EneIish navvy. A body of Chinese laborers marching down narrow street will crowd ladies into the gutter. The Chinese mer- chants, doctars and others belonging to the better classes, are as polite as Frenchmen, the Pacific coast are rude and brutal. The chief thing in their favor is their habit of personal cleanliness. The railroad laborers

demand for reform in legal methods is cropping out in various parts of the country. The matter is under discussion in Illinois, and the Chicago Tribune suggests that the reformers should not forget the need of hay ing fewer jury trials in civil cases, which are said to be altogether too numerous in the common courts. In Cook county, for exam pie, jury trial costs the county twenty dol lars day. A trial lasting five days costs the county an extra hundred dollars. On the other hand, in that county plaintiff or com plainant, except in case of appsal. pays but six dollars for bringing suit, and defend ant pays only one dollar and a half in costs. On payment of this trifiing amount jury trial may be demanded, at the expense above mentioned. Were the costs divided between the parties to the suit fewer jury trials would result from disputes. The low fees in the form of costs were ostensibly to benefit the poor, but, as a matter of fact, petty law yers thrive on the system. Professional jurors too, profit by the present law. It s suggested that if itigants know that heavy expense will come to them from jury trial the fairness of the judge will seem more ob- vious, and they will leave the case to his iudgm ent without @ iurY

What his experience was in the northern city the Chancellor does not inform us. But he went on to say that in general he was not an opponent of Sunday observ- ance. 'As landed propristor," he does all in his power to support the observance, but he would not have people legally compelled to keep it rigidly." He would ''lsave every one to prepare for future life in his own way" But there ought to be no ordinary work on Sundays, he continues, and this "not so much on account of the Scriptural command, but because men must have time for proper repose'

''The calm before the storm" and 'sthe stiffness of death" are the phrases used by two Nihilist magazines in Geneva to describe the present quiet in Rus sia to which the Czar's recent proclamation hopefully alludes.

The appeals of a few of the BourboBS to
the great mass of the party, who weuId
have nothing to do with the primary, to
stand by the nominations, is nothing bus
unadulterated impudence. The fact that
the voters did not participate in the pri-.
mary is prima facis evidence that they
have no thought of being bound by its ac-
tion. They certainly are free to vote as
they please, and it is not reasonable to SUPP
pose that after having shaped their action
to avoid the charge of inconsistency, they
will now submit to the dictates of the
bosses. The way to rebnke the primary
method, is to defeat it's nominees, either
by voting against them or remaining from
the polls. There has been too much Court

Incapable of defending their record as
to the public schools, and condemned by
the people as to every position they have
taken on State questions, few of the
Bourbons- real moss backs-are max
ing an effort to get up scare about mixed
schools and mixed marriages. With the
public schools under Readjuster manage
ment more than doubled in number, with
comfortable buildings for their accOmmO-
dation, the attendance more than doubled
and the system working successfully
throughout the State, nobody but crank
would either suggest OF believe that any
real friend of the public school system
would wish to change the present manage
ment and methods. Bourbon stupidity is.
never so transparent as when the party is
engaged in y struggle for the offices, and
there is no resort too extreme for it to
avail of. We had this cry Of mixed schools
and mixed marriages two years ago. We
have had it, indeed, for the past ten years,
and yet the schools were never further re-
moved from such q condition, nor do we
think the white people are any nearer
mixed marriages. AS to the latter, the
proposition will have to come from the
whites, and we have not so poor an opin-
ion OF our race as to believe any OF them
want to intermarry with the colOred peO-
pie. 1t is sorry figure these crsnks
cut in their attempt to enlighten the
people as to the issues of the canvass.
