PERSONAL.

Ex-President Cattell of Lafayette College, is
resting and slowly but surely regaining his health
| in Switzerland. His wife Is with him.
The house in Orleans, France, IN which John Cal
vim lived when he was law student, and in which
he received the visits of Theodore de Beze and the
librarian Leurez, has been pulled down.
The father of Senator Allison of Iowa, who died
last week at the age Of eighty-ve, had been life
long total absalner from the of tobacco and In
tOxicating liquors. and never had been afflicted with
any disease.
Mr.. Jacob Miliken, of Dunstan's Corner, Me-,
celebrated his One-hundredth birthday last Friday,
and told the hundreds of relatives and friends who
came to congratulate him many interesting stories
of his long fe such as how he voted for Jefferson
for President two months before he came of age;
aud how, when young man, he visited his grand
father and heard that venerable patriarch call tho
roll of his seventy-One living grandchildren. Mr..
Milliken Is pensiOner Of the War of 1872.
The late Henri Martin, the French historian, is
described by Truth (LondOn) as having been tall,
bOny, awkwardly built, and of hale, fresh COM
plexion. He had long face strong narrow chin,
a retrouss6 nose wide at the nostrils sharp at the
point, and high at the bridge. Honest blue eyes
Lit up charmingly the old mans face Most tell-tae
eyes they were; but luckily. the worst revelations
they could make were about amiable fOibles. For
an out-and-out Celt he had curiously German

As he often dned out he frequently went to the In

a world too big for his large hands. In winter
comforter hid, when he was out OF doors, the white
cravat; a greatcOat was dispensed with. Shoes
were preserved from mud By goloshes which he for
got to take off in making his calls. A valet OF the
late Lord Caithness threw up his place on account
of NJ Henri Martins white cotton gloves. lie inn

excluded white labor and that this
was an evil because they did not them
selves assimilate. OF course when
people first prohibit race from becoming citi-
zens. and then complain that they do not assm-
ilate. the appearance Of argument In circle,
and vicious circle, Is presented. Waiving that
consideration, however, we mGy proceed 10 re-
mark that so far the expected white settlers do
not seem to have come forward in any numbers
to fill the vacant places. What appears have to
happened is in the main as follows:
The reduction in the aggregate Chinese popu-
lation of the State has been considerable but 1t
has principally benefited the Chinese who re-
main. These latter have acquired something
like monopoly In consequence. Having De-
come more In demand through the removal or
the competition of their countrymen, they nave
been enabled to charge higher rates for their
services. At the same time they have become
more INDEPENDENT idle and untrustworthy, ana
il might be thought that because of their ina
bility to stand prosperity they would fail uitl-
mately in their competition with white labor
As yet this does not seem to have hap
pened, though 1t is beginning TO DC
felt by housekeepers that the Chinaman Is
rapidly losing all heQualities which once made
him preferred as domestic to the average
white girl available. But outside OF the
domestic service market the case Is different
The cultivation of small fruits has long been
very profitable in California, and it has Deen
made so chiefly by Chinese labor. The picking
of these fruits is tedious occupation and de-
mands much patience, persistence and method.
The Chinese did the work admirably, but it has
been found impossible to get white men, or boys
or girls to do it satisfactorily. During the fruit
season every hour must be utilized by the fruit
grower, and if he employs white men as pickers
they are liable to get drunk on Saturday night
and absent themselves on Monday and thus
tons of fruit may be lost. Boys and girls can
not be depended upon. They will not work
steadily. And the result is that many fruit
growers have been compelled either to give up
their business or to curtail 1t to their serious
injury. =,
The influx of white labor has not solved
the problem. Chinese labor was Indispensable 10
many infant manufactures, which gave employ
ment to white men also. Several of these have
collapsed since the Restriction Act went into
effect, and it does not appear that new manu-
features, employing white labor alone, nave
taken their place. Eastern competition is so
keen that high priced labor prevents the sue
cessful establishment of manufactures in Cali
fornia, and though manufacturers might prefer
to pay high wages to white men, they can only
do so at the sacrifice of their own prospects.
There are still too many Cinnamon III the State
for it to be possible to say what the result of
their entire removal would be, but it certainly
does not appear that the operation Of the Re-
striction Act thus far has had any beneficial
effect upon the white community.

JERSEY RAILROAD FARES.

If New-Jersey and other suburbs are to hold their
own against the upper end of New-York Island, it
Is obvious that railroad fares must come down.
The object is of especial interest to Newark and
the surrounding towns for their distance from the
city is about the that of tho upper part of
the island. The elevated roads furnish transporta-
tion during those hours Of the day when working
men Of all classes go to work and return home for
ten cents for the round trip. The single fare to
Newark, for example, is twenty cents, and the ex-
curson rate thirty cents three times eexcurslOn
rate on the elevated roads. The Communication rates
of course lower, but still high compared with
the elevated railroad rates.
The subject of a reduction of fare has been good
deal agtated of late, especially in Newark, and
meetings of merchants and others have been held
to urge the subject upon the attention Of the rail-
roads. liberal policy their part would do much
to develop these suburbs, which, In the near
future ought to afford vast number of cheap
homes. ten-cent fare to Newark, and correspond
ing rates to other points within fifteen miles of
New-York, would have q powerful influence in
causing the empty places to be filed up.

A TcEFUL TREATY,

The new commercial treaty with Spain abol-
ishes various discriminating duties which nave
had depressing effect upon trade between the
United States and Puerto Rico and Cuba. The
tariffs of the two islands were designed to pro-
mote commerce with the mother country and to
benefit Spanish shipping. Goods exported
from the United States under foreign flag are
subject to an import duty 80 per cent higher
than it would be if they were carried to the
islands under the Spanish flag. Under an ACT
of Congress passed in 1864 n similar dis
elimination of 10 per cent i'll favor OF American
vessels was made against cargoes entering
American ports under foreign flags from the
Spanish West Indies. This Act, albeit strictly
in conformity with the island tariffs, was fol-
lowed by retalat0ry measure adopted III
1867 by the Spanish Government. By TINS de-
cree all goods from the United States. whether
carried in Spanish or in foreign vessels, were
subjected to the highest schedule of duties.
In this way a partial was made total dis
elimination against imports arriving from the
United States. These distinctions equally
vexatous to American and to Spanish American
commerce. have been removed by the treaty
negotiated by Mr. Foster.
been repealed with the understanding that the
10 per cent additional duty will be discon-
timed in the United States The foreign
schedules Of the island tariffs are to be equal
lied so that there will be no discrimination
against United States vessels prohibtory
duty on live fish from Florida is to be repealed,
and Spanish consuls are 10 longer left at lib
erty to impose tonnage fees on cargoes leaving
the United States for Cuba and Puerto Rico
Immunity from unjust determinations is thus
secured on both sides, and no reasonable OBJ
lection can be urged against the ratification OF
the treaty by the United States Senate. The
most hopeful clause Of the convention IS that
in which both Governments bind themselves to
open negotiations for the conclusion of COM
pete treaty of commerce between the United
States and the Spanish West Indies. Such
treaty would have a most beneficial influence
on American commerce.

Mr.. Henry B. Payne of Cleveland was selected
last night by the Democratic caucus at Column
bus Ohio, as Mr.. PendletOn's successor Ill the
United States Senate. Mr.. Payne is man who
has not been prominent in politics of late.
Indeed his whole political career has been short
He ran an unsuccessful race for the Governor
ship of Ohio against Salmon p. Chase when the
latter was nominated for the first time. Later
he served for a short period in Congress. MI
Payne Is a gentleman of the highest personal
character While he is an old-fashioned Dem
ocrat Of the strict sort, he will nevertheless
make creditabe Senator His nomination
marks distinctly the triumph of the McLeans'
and makes them hereafter more important
factors than ever before in Ohio politics. The
selection of Mr. Payne must be regarded as I'M
portant with reference to the Democratic choice
for the Presidency. 1t may make MIR. Payne
prominent as a candidate, or result in bringing
forward some other name whom he and his
friends favor. Above all, it is an extremely
loud warning to every ambitious Democrat to
have nothing to do with Civil Service Reform
If it had not heen for Mr.. PendletOn's course in
reference to that matter, he probably could not
have been beaten; certainly not SO easily.

TIE RESTRTC7TOY ACT IN CALIFORNIA.

THE RESTRICTION ACT IN CALIFORNIA.
So far as we are aware, no serious effort has
yet been made by the press of California to
reach a trustworthy conclusion as to the practi-
cal effects of the so-called Restriction Act in
that State. But if we may judge from scattered
statements and occasional candid admissions
it has not produced the results which were pre-
dicted for it. 1t was always assumed that if or
when the Chinese in California were deported
or their numbers considerably reduced, their
places woald be filed by white men and women.
One Of the principal grounds of opposition to
them, in fact, has been the assertion that they
