% The Chinese Government, instead of resenting
the capture of SOntay, is clamoring for peace.
This is a singular transition from the uncOm-
promising warfceling which prevailed during
the autumn. when the evacuation of the French
positions in the Red River delta was demanded
and every proposal for a settlement of the con-
troversy was contemptuously rejected Then
the Chinese authorities were unwilling to have
the invaders obtain control of any territory in
TOnquin. The only neutral zone which they
would consent 70 discuss was the southern
section of the province between the river and
Anam Now they are reported to be anxious to
make terms on the basis of accomplished facts,
leaving the French to retain Hai-PhOng, Haid-
Zuong and Ha- moi and continuing to occupy Bac-
Mini and other fOrtresses themselves, the fate
of Sontay being reserved for foreign arbitra-
tiOn. Apparently they are prepared to make
concessions which will give Europeans not only
a commanding position on their land frontier,
but complete control of the river routes 0f

The difficulty of regulating immigration in
any fair way is well illustrated by the criticism
which a bill just introduced in Congress has
called forth. The measure allows steamboats,
plying between Canada and the United States to
land immigrants at our ports without paying
the head tax. OF course, European lines to
Canadian cities will profit greatly by this. But
railroads from the Dominion pay no head tax
on immigrants entering our boundaries over
their lines, and its hard to see why discrimina-
tion should be made against steamboats,. Per-
haps the statesman who finds out how to
keep the Chinese from coming in by way of the
British possessions Will be able to suggest how
this kindred problem can be solved.

il is probable that his associates instead Of aiding

decisiycly. II il to be hoped that the approaching
season will not witness any discreditable misman-
agcment in Smith Sound.
If the man who has delighted to dishonor Massa-
chusctts sheds tear at giving mp his ll-fllcd office
it will be because Mr.. A. j. Morton has forced him
to play the woman. Mr.. A. J. Morton rcoiccs in
the proud emincncc of being the "only one Green
backer left in the city Of New-IIayen. He wants
"all the children Of toll that exist the soil' to
pool their issuesn and make Butler the next Prcsi-
dent of the United States. Mr.. Morton remarks
that in the late election in Massachusetts Butler
presented the grandest spectacle of any politician
that has ever lived in America He made the para
discs that are built over hell totter; he hung the
light on the belfry of the Old South Church and it
iii up the dark path Of every toiler in America.
That light is shining now, and all the uSurers, bond
holders and bond-makcrs, aided by the elite of Iar
ward and the stool-pigeous of journadom, cannot
cxtinguish it, Mr.. A. j. Morton. finally, whether
as grammarian, rhetorcian, statesman or iackaSS,
appears to be fully qualified and entitled TO take
the cake.
The Chicago press is laboring to raise the average
of marriages in that city, which isno doubt lowered
by th" frequency of divorces, and is dragging the
eligible bachelors of the city ont to the light of day,
that they may be ashamed and forthwith take unto
themselves wives. The Intcr-Ocrda furnishes a di
rectory of bachelors covering four pages of the
paper, and giving briefly but minutely all that is
necessary to know about husband. These points
cover the income, family connections, business,
color of the hair and eyes, looks good or bad--and
we are struck with the fact that Chicago has rea-
sonable proportion of good-looking bachelors
habits to billiards. horses or church-gong and
mode of life, to whether he lives with his mother
or boards at hotel etc 1t is impossible that the
Chicago young women, having all this information
at their disposal, should make the mistakes i'll
choosing husbands which less favored girls some
times make in other parts of the world through the
fact that they are comparatively mGcquainted
with the men they accept; and this being leap year.
we shall expect to hear Of an unusually large
number of happy marriages in Chicago in the next
few moa,hs We can conceive Of no more delight
ful field for newspaper enterprise than to add in
this way to the sum of human happiness.

1t would indeed have been strange if no
trouble had occurred yesterday at DromOre,
County Tyrone, Ireland. Orangemen and
Nationalists were there by thousands TO hold
rival meetings, and everybody was spelling for
afght. Ii came of course. twhichparty started
it, is hard to say and in truth does not matter
much. The crowd which got the first good
chance was sure to make an attack. Trouble
was so inevitable that it is hard to understand
why the English Government allowed either
meeting to be held. The Orangemen are loyal,
and the NatiOnalists are dislOyal; but, consider
ing the condition of Ireland, no Constitutional
principle would have been strained if both
parties had been suppressed in the interests Of
law and order.

The fashion of making calls on New Years
day seemed 10 be more unpopular yesterday
than ever. Comparatively few houses were
open for visitors in the upper part Of ecty, and
the absence Of the inhOspitable basket at the
door seemed to indicate that nobody supposed
many callers would be about. That suppOsitiOn
was correct. People either went out of town or
stayed closely at home, and the streets were de-
serted and dreary. Among the classes whose
behavior the police look after with some care
there were numerous brawls, the principal cause
Of which was drunkenness. No very serious
crimes were committed, however. Considering
the size of New-YOrk and the amount of free
drinking that is provided by hOspitable liquor
dealers on New Years, that's rather remarkable.

Interesting Letter From YazOO.
YAzoo Crr1, Jan. 3Oth, 1894.


EprroRs CIAH1oN: The Democratic Coun-
ty Convention met to-day to nominate
Sheriff and Constables vice those elected at
last election and who had failed TO qualify.
The candidates for Sheriff were: Messrs.
Sim Harrison, s. II. Childress, X. w. EIum,
d. Bunch, N. N. Wilson, d. @. Love and A.
NJ. Hicks. Capt. Sim Harrison was nomi-
mated on tho tenth ballot, and on motion
his nomination was made unanimous.
Yazoo holds no man better fitted for the
Office. Capt. Harrison is a man of nerve,
energetic and conscientious, and under his
administration it will be safe TO predicate
that the Office will not run itself, The cleo
ton has been called for the 18th of Febru-
ary
The following resolutions were adopted
by the Conv sntion:
WHEREAs, Differences of opinion exist in
the Legislature Of such character rs 10
perhaps render il unfeasable to carry n
bill through strictly in accordance with a
bill instructed for by the last convention.

discretion 10 obtain levee protection in the

placed on no one species Of property alones
A resolution was passea, that We desire
that the tax on land be not specific but a
tdlorem; it was also resolved, that it is the
wish of this Convention that no part OF
Yazoo county be cut of in order 10 form a
new county.
