Backhanded People

We shake hands as a salutation;
Chinaman shakes hands with
himself. He stands at a distance,
and, clasping both together, he
shakes them up and down at you.
We uncover the head as mark of
respect; they keep their heads COW
cred, but take off their shoes for po-
likeness. We shave the face but
they shave the head and eyebrows.
We cut our finger-nails; they con-
slider it aristocrat1c to have nails
from three to five inches long,
which they are obliged to protect in
silver cases, The Chinaman's
waistcoat is outside his coat, and
his drawers outside lis trousers.
We blacken our shoes; he whitens
them. We have soup as a first
course at dinner, and desert at last.
They have desert at first and soup
at last. We want our wines ice
cold; the Chinese drink theirs
scaldjng hot. We bury in the earth,
they on its surface. With US black
clothing is a badge of mourning,
with them white garments indicate
the loss of friends. In that land of
opposites it is the old men who fly
kites, walk on stills, and play the
shuttle-cock, and to keep up their
odd ways of doing things, they play
the latter with their feet instead of
their hands. In China women do
mems work, and men are lnilliEers,
dressmakers, and washerwomen.
With US the right hand is the place
of honor; with them it is the left
hand. In dating letters we place the
year last, they write the year first.
They always speak of the mariners
compass (their own invention) as
pointing to the south. We pay our
physicians when we are sick; they
pay while they are well, but as soon
as they get sick the pay stops. Here
men kill their enemies; a China
men gets revenge by killing him
self. We use a soft pillow; they a
block of wood. They launch ships
sidewise, ring bells from the outside
and actually turn screws in the op-
posite direction from ours.-Chrfs-

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.
BY ANDREW NJ. F. DAVIS.

It may be we'll for some of the
critics who denounce the policy of
encouraging athletic sports in col
leges; who charge to the debit of
this policy many evils that fairly
belong there, and some that do not:
who find in these sports nothing but
a Wretched imitation Of the habits
of English collegians - it may be
well for some of them " to play the
good fellow, and come and see some
of our matches" And not only the
matches, but the daily outpouring
of the students into the green fields,
where they can breathe the pure
air of outdoors, and for the mo-
ment forget their books, and with
Joyous excitement obtain that
bodily exercise which all need,
but many neglect. 1t would be
well for those who criticise to re-
member that to achieve distinction
in any of these sports is not consist
ent with a life of debauchery, or
irregular habits OF any sort, but that
the members of teams and crews
who enter upon course of training
voluntarily adopt methodical habits
of life, content themselves with a
simple diet, abandon all forms of in
diligence which are condemned by
sanitary authorities, keep early
hours, and in general conform their
lives to just the model that would
be selected for them by their we'll
wishers. Nor do the hours adopted
for their daily exercise necessarily
interfere with the maintenance Of a
good standard of scholarship.
The daily routine work of the
gymnasium is in itself a bore, which
would soon drop into disuetude
were it not for the companionship
of the great numbers interested in
athletics, whose buoyant health and
overlooking spirits relieve the hour
of its tedium, and convert a task
into pleasure.
If we admit, as we must, that
there are young men who OYerdo
the thing, whose ambition does not
rise beyond a place in the university
crew; that the contests stimulate a
tendency to back up the college by
betting; that the expenses of the
various teams have to be paid by
somebody, and that subscription
papers are passed around for
the purpose of raising such
funds; that the travelling about
to play matches during term
time interferes with the studies
of those on the teams, and that the
games ought to be so arranged as to
prevent this,-if we admit all this,
still the weight of these charges is
partially offset by the stimulus
which these games give to the great
health-glving systems of athletics,
which keeps our young men boys
for a year or two longer, and will |
lengthen the lives of many of them
by decade.
The young man whose sole am
bition it is to row in the University
crew, and who devotes his attention
to this at the expense of his studies,
would probably come to college if
there were no crews and his ambition |
would then be satisfied with some
standard. fine gains moth |
ing else, the nut-hroWn skin, the
deep layers ofmuscles on chest and
back and arm, are better than the |
pallid complexion and faced mus
cles which would come from late
hours spent over the card table, in
drinking and smoking.-May At
lGntie.

surrender to them without resistance,

had he not been afraid that he wouId

bit, killed while trying to escape.
Last Wednesday a detachment
Of troops from the army discovered
Spochee's scouts and gave chase,
capturing one. They questioned
him as to Speeches. whereabouts and
forces, but as he would tell nothing
they took him out and shot him.
There are rumors here of more kill
ing at the am place Nothing au-
thentic. News reached here tonight
of another killing near Eutatula last
week. About twenty Chickee mel
left that place and discovered q Spo-
chez man named Echo!ly Harge and
without more ado riddled him with
bullets.
The Globe Arizona special says a
man was killed near Stems Pass,
New Mexico, a short distance from
the Arizona line yesterday by two

killed to prevent his giving informal
ton as to the direction they were

Can anyone tell why it is found
necessary to guard Garfield's tomb =?
Have threats to exhume his remains
been made? Do Vandals and Cloths
abound in Cleveland and vicinity
who are bent upon d%esecrating the
earthly resting place Of the dead? If
not why is the silence of the cemc-
terry on the shore of Lake Erie bro
ken By the ceaseless tramp of armed
men? Why r the ignorant and SUI
persti:ious subjected to a strain
which turns their brain and deprives
them of reason? Can anyone salts
f~actorily answer these questions? If
no one can, then, in the name of God
and humanity let the half demented
soldiers Of the United States army
who r guarding the tomb of Gar
field be Withdrawn and this iravesty
on common sense and mockery OF

OUT OF DEBT.

Thanks to Democratic Legislatures
in this Territory, Montana is now
entirely out of debt. every bond and
warrant having been recently re-
deemed. The Democracy Of Mon
tana car point with pride to its re-
cord as shown in the satisfactory f.
nancial condition of the Territory.
The first Legislative assembly was Re-
publican. Fortunately for the people
it was the last controlled by that par
ty. Its extravaganza was in harmo-
ny with the history Of the Republi-
can party and had it continued in
power, Montana would now be bank
rupt instead of being out of debt.
But the people profited by the lesson
they received, turned over the subse-
quent legislative assemblies to the
Democracy and now receive their re-
ward in a clean balance sheet.

The anti-monopoly movement does
not receive that encouragement in
the South and in the extreme West
that it does in the East and the
Northern States. In the former sec
tons capital is wanted to develop
their resources and infuse new life in
their industries and the people are
not so particular as to the form in
which it comes as that it may come.
Corporations, each with a few hum
.dred thousand dollars to invest in
enterprises which will build up their
respective sections, are always well
coined. It is only after people have
received what they have prayed for
in the shape of manufactures, rail-
roads and an increase of population
in a thrifty immigration. that they
find time to make war upon corpora
tions. The South and West have
not yet reached that point.

DEATH OF TIMOTHY O. HOWE.

The wires announce the death of
Timothy o. Howe, Postmater Cen
eral, at Henosha, Wis, OH the 25th
inst. from pneumonia. Mr.. Howe
was born in Maine in 1916, was
Judge of the Supreme Court of Wis
consin in 1850, was elected United
States Senator from that State in
1861, and was appointed Postmaster
General by President Arthur, after
the resignation of James. MI. Howe
was outranked as a statesman by
many of his contemporaries, but his
integrity as a man and his consisten-
cy az a Republican were never
doubted. He was highly esteemed
in his own state for his estimable
traits of character :,nd social virtues.
Wisconsin has lost one of her most
distinguished men.

Indian Situation in Arizona.

Tucson, A. T., March 27.-Au-
thentic reports of movements of In
dams since Saturday state the bodies
of two more men have been found on
the trail of the Indians, one near the
camp of Huachucha and one near
Antelope Springs. Neither has been
Identified. There are rumors from
all directions, but nothing reliable.
General Crook, by placing his men
at various points, will likely be WIS.,
tied by Indians, and has sent a force
in pursuit. The people of the Terri
tory have hope of good results, but
many murders will be reported with
in the next forty-eight hours. Thus
far, as no Indians have left the reser-
walton. it is now believed that all or
nearly all the Indians on the war
path r those driven over to Mexico
last year and now returned for a raid
in Arizona.

THE WORLD NOT BANKRUPT

A very ingenious and indefatiga-
BILE statistician has figured out that
the world is bankrupt; that 1t owes
more than it can pay and that the in
evitable end will be a general fnan-
cial smashup. In support of his as
sertion he produces an array Of fig
ures which shows the aggregate in
| debtedness of the world amounts to
nearly $50, OOO, 0OO, 900, and that with
the single exception of the United
States every civilized nation is annu-
ally going deeper in debt. But not
withstanding the great columns of
gloomy figures which apparently
point to a different conclusion this
extravagant world is not bankrupt.
This fact is demonstrated, says a po-
litical economist, by merely consid-
ering where all the money came from
which is now invested in the Grand
Livre or ledger of France, the cor
soils of England and the bonds of 9TH
er countries.
Before the country could borrow
there must have been capitalists who
had money to lend-and to spare.
The nations could not have borrowed
unless the people were able to lend,
and if the world is able to lend $780,
DOC, 0OO, 0OOi it can hardly be in danger
of immediate bankruptcy. In fact,
the debts of the nations are merely
the surplus of the people, a
small part of the accumulations
which have been made in a
century of industry and of pro-
gress. Steam, electricity, and pat
ent inventions have accumulated in
the world such a mass of wealth as
the old world never dreamed of; and
as the process of accumulation is
going on faster than the process of
borrowing, the world is growing
richer every day, richer in spite of
wars and armies and kings and tar
ifs and t~ax-eaters, and other obsta-
cles, and there is no call for any
learned statistician to sit up of nights
in despair over the future of an insol-
vent world.

SHARP PRACTICE.

Through the bungling of the tar
if r~evisers the opportunity is offered
for q few weeks to obtain certain
kimls of imported goods at rates
much lower than vas contemplated
by congress. The sections OF the re-
vised statutes which provided that
in determining the dutiable value of
merchandise there shall be added to
the cost of the goods in the market
the cost of transshipment, with all
the ensuing expenses, both general
and special, were repealed. Under
cover of this reduction a large addi-
| ton was made to the duties levied,
with the pretense that it was neces-
sary to keep the tariff at about the
same figure, but with the real pur-
pose of considerably increasing
the aggregate taxation. 1t is
now discovered %that the repeal
ing clause goes into effect
Immediately, while the tariff sched-
ule proper will not be in force until
the first of July. The result is that
for the intervening period importa-'
lions will be carried on under the old
tariff, minus the rates formerly lev
led on the value of the package and
the charges for transportation. The
knowledge of this fact has produced
a flutter among protectionists.
The shrewd ones, however, see the
advantage the tariff bunglers gave
them and are now improving them.
They have chartered all the loose
steamers and all the ocean tramps"
of this and other nations laying in
the harrison Of New York and other
ports near, and sent them to Cuba to
load with sugar. The ostensible
object assigned for this anxiety on
their part to hurry Cuban
sugar in the United States is
that the sugar crop of the West In
dias is twenty per cent. below the es-
innate recently made, but the real
reason is that they can put it on the
market and realize large profits from
its sale and yet undersell the holders
of the article who imported it under
the old tariff rates. There is a line
of blue smoke around q few OF the
large sugar importing houses Of New
York at the present time.
