The writer in travelling a short time ago
on the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad was

cars, easy riding and attention paid the pas

so with the neat, comfortable and substan-

said road, both in this State and Maryland
This article Is not intended to bespatter
with praise the d. & o. road, but to arouse
attention on the part of other roads, espe-
cially those leading to and from our city, TO
the necessity of better buildings and better

not these roads erect decent station houses
along their roads? The travelling public
certainly do enough growing about it, but
the sound Of these deep growls seem never

See here. gentlemen of these roads, you

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6.

A DISPATCH from Hong Kong yesterday
state,1bat China had that day paid the sum
Of s27. 900 as an indemnity for the losses IN
Cured by French subjects in the Canton
riots of 1883. This seems strange to those
whose knowledge is limited to modern ana
especially to Eastern affairs. To such the IDEA
of a nation whose cities are being lombard
al and whose citizens are being slaughtered
without provocation, while these very out
RACES are in progress, paying to the aggres'
siye nation indemnity for losses, also the re-
suit of its own provocation, is Incompatible
with the idea of the possession of good sense
by the paying nation. But China had agreed
to pay the money on certain day, and when
that day came she paid it,and that, toe, though
che knew that France would use it in the
further prosecution of the war upon her.
10 those, however, who are familiar with the
history of China, the incident referred to Is
by no means surprising, for they know that
the binding obligation of pecuniary contracts
is characteristic of the Chinese from the
most remote times, and that, accordiugto vol
taire, honesty, morality, submission to law
regard for the rights ofothers and the wor-
ship of a Supreme being constitute the reli-
yion of the reputable and intelligent people
of China. 1t is only the lowest class OF
China who come to this country.

Of solidifying the colored vote. He will

THAT EVEN the republicans are aware of
the popular uprising against the existing,
unjust, unnecessary and oppressive tariff is
proved by the fact that in the platform they
recently adopted in Massachusetts, they de-
clared "a tariff in which reforms and correc-
ton should be made with view to reduce the
surplus and at the same time to correct in
equalities." As Granger Whitney says, the
result of the election in the northwestern
States next November will open the eyes
of such political anomalies as democratic
protectionists.
