ent situation, which, while one in which
caution must be exercised, is not of
necessity one of great danger to the indus
try and commerce of the country. The
food supply of the world is plentiful, man.
ufactured goods are ample in market, and
hence we need not look for a season of ad-
vanced prices, even with lessened crop
yield. There is, then, no motive for early
liveliness in business, and capital will re-

of the Treasury Department have something

80 MALAYAY plsAsrFR

The great disaster in the first island in
political and commercial importance in the
Malay Archipelago Jaya-will rank
among the most fearful of which the
worlds history makes record. Java is a
Dutch colony. It is the third island in
size of the group, it's area being $4,000
square miles, with ], 400 miles Of coast line.
Tdere were but few harbors, and the best
of these have now been destroyed, or at
least so changed by the awful convulsion
that it viii be long time before
the new character of the anchor.
ages can be determined. From one
end of the island to the other extends a
chain of mountains, with peaks varying
from 4. 900 to 1900 feet in altitude. 10
this chain are no less than forty-eix voloa-
noes, twenty of which have been active for
many years. One Of these, Tenger, has
the largest crater OF the globe, save that
OF Kilauea, in the Sandwich Islands. In
the recent eruption no less than thirty Of
these mountains of FIRE were in action.
An interesting phenomenon connected with
the Java disaster is the fact that the earth
quake waves at o'clock on the morning
of the Dish OF August entered the Bay of
San Francisco. The waves continued to
affect the STRENGTHENING gauge at Sauce
Tito during the whole Of last Wednesday.

ANOTHER DECISION.

Those who have been so much disturbed
about the Massachusetts decision interpret
ing the Chinese Restriction Act, will re-
cover their composure now that a New
York Court has held that the Act may be
enforced sgsinst Chinese from any foreign
port whatever, regardless of their citizen.
ship. The people can now take their
choice between these Judicial interpreta-
tions. But the facts, as we view them, re-.
main the same. the Act was passed to
carry into effect provisions of a treaty
made with China, and therefore referred
only to subjects of that empire. While
the absolute right exists TO pass an Act to
debar from entry subjects of other coun-
tries, yet, if we do go, it is in violation of
the good faith we are bound to observe
with the country against whose people we
discriminate. so long as we have with that
nation treaty to which such legislation
is hostile.

THE Savannah Nelos hints that the South should
have the Democratic candidate for the Presidency this
time because no Democrat can be elected without
the united aid OF the South. Ii not this says the
He0s, then the South should have the privilege OF
making a free choice from among all the candidates
the North may present. Well, our Southern friend
will find ont in due tine that it will be allowed
neither to choose nor 20 pr. sent candidate. The
Northern Democrats will not manifest the sagacity
the Ne'ss hopes they may. They will, on the con.
trarY, insist the subserviency Of the South to
their judgment and tell it that it is too soon yet for
the Southern people to demand voice in the party
councils the North will be antagonized, etc All
of which is bosh. The best friends of the South to
day are by means members of the Democratic
party. Some time the Southern people will awaken
to a realization Of this fact.

School life In China.

Very much Is thought of education

airy honors he can fill as high a posi-
ton As though he were a boy Of rank.
All boys, especially in the south Of Chi
ma, are expected to 60 to school, but
beside the mission schools there are
not many for girls. A tutor has not
only TO teach boys how to read and
write, but politencss forms the basis Of

Like boys of Japan, the Chinese learn
their lessons out loud, and sometimes
make a great clattcr in the school room
while doing So But boys may not talk
together in school, and to prevent their
doing this the desks are arranged some

Chinese are taught is on a very differ

heart first, and then have explained to
them what they have learned. Their
first lesson Is on iilial picty and
throughout life the Chinese, boy, and
girl, and man, and woman, are noted
for their love toward parents. They
then learn the sacred trimctrical book.
