Price Two Cents

the experience could not reconcile me to eat ing melon-seed and all sorts of anomalous and i'll smelling dishes. When we came to pay our bill we found it to be twenty five cents for the two of us. I noticed that my companion paid for his portion with piece of silver which looked as if it had been chewed. The cashier took pair of scales, weighed the metal and announced it's value
 whereupon the deficit was made up in pen Ties What kind of money do you call that ?" I inquired of my companion. ''It was piece of Mexican dollar he replied, which has been chopped so many times by native firms, by way of endorsement, that it has lost all resemblance to coined money, and is taken as money simply in the lump"
 l suspect that tho steamer City of Pekin had warm reception upon her last arrival at San Francisco with l, $50 Celestial tourists aboard. During the last few days I have made untiring efforts to ferret out the re- sponsible party in this miscellaneous issuance of certificates to Chinese under the provi- sions of the restriction act. As I expected, find it a most elusive thing, but seem in the way now of arriving at the bottom facts
 After considerable desultory probing about, I availed myself of the assistance of Consul Seymour who kindly dictated dispat ch to the Hoppo Commissioner of the native branch of the customs sarvice), asking over his own signature the name and address of the man who had the entire responsibility of issuing passports to Chinese going to Ameri- ca. This dispatch elicited the following communication (translated): ''The name of the person having sole responsibility in the matter, 6c., &o., is Sheh-Pow-Shu, and his place of doing business is at Whampoa" ;" Whampoa is 8 village about eleven miles south of here. I now find, however, that MT. Sheh-Pow-Shu has deputed his preroga- tives to some subordinate at Whampoa, and himself lives in this city, free from all per- sonal superintendence of affairs. It is evil dent that this system of transferring the control of business from subordinate to su- bordinate opens good many loopholes for abuse. l have the responsibility authorita- lively saddled upon MT. Sheh Pow-Shu, however, and have arranged for an audience with him two days hence, when l will assu- redly ask him good many pointed ques- tions. The result of this interview will ap- pear in my letter of next week, and I shall try to make it contain the bottom facts. It is evident that there is rascality somewhere but whether the Whampoa office is identified with this rascality, or whether some enter prising but unscrupulous Celestials in Hong Kong have built up thriving business in the way of Urging certificates, certs nly csn- not say. Some people think the latter. It is curious, to say the least. that there should not be more general enlightenment on the subject of procuring these needed docu- ments and it is a'so somewhat curious to my mind that the main office should be located in the dead and inaccessible village of Wham- poa EMILE.

FREE SPEECH IN DANVILLE.

l
 The mayor of Danville. Virginia. the town
 which has lately become unpleasantly fa-
 nous, has offended the sensitive souls of
 some of his fellow citizens. and they have retaliated by making it impossible for him to | get his semi-annual report before the council.
 The law requires him to present this docu- 1 ment, but the council decline to receive 1t. l The'nanas of the mayor is Johnson, and he
 was elected by the readjusters. It ia not sur prisipg, therefore, that sthe best citizsns'' of Danville disappreve of him and his semi 1 annual message.
 The message does not seem to an outsider to be an incendiary document. It Is mainly statement of the receipts and expenditures Of the municipal government for the six months ending Dscenber 31, 1883, with 8 schedule of the outstanding debt and an in ventory of the property of she corporation appended thereto. The mayor also makes some recommendations concerning the re- funding of the bonded debt of the city, and suggests that committee be appointed to prepare certain amendments to the city charter. This thoroughly formal and com monPlacs report winds mp with brief refer ence to the riot of Novembsr 8, in which four colored men were killed and four colored and two white men were wounded. There IS not a word in the mayors comments that the most sensitive bourbon could construs az offensive to himself or his party, unless it is found in this paragraph: 'tIn nay judgment this conflict was altogether unnecessary and never should have occurred. It has greatly damaged our town in reputation and charac- ter throughout the civilized world, wherever known"
 On January 12 this report was handed to the president of the council to be laid before that body. The president broke the seal, read the report, and communicated the con- tents to others. The document waa after ward read at meeting of the council, and, on motion of MT. Gerst, 'ta resolution was adopted that said report be returned, because not to be considered" The mayor was anxious that the people should sec the report, and accordingly took it to the efRce of newspaper published in DanyilIe and asked that 1t be inserted as an advertisement at his own personal expense, but the editor refused to publish 1t. But she mayor was not to be thus completely squelehed. He therefore bad his report printed in pamphlet form and privately distributed. Up to date he has not been killed for taking such action.
 This incident shows the state of feeling which prevails among ''ths best citiKens'' of Danville. They don't want any freedom of speech which reflects upon their political ideas or acts.

A good story is told of the practical appli- cation of his phrases and principles which Henry George is said to have recently exps- rienoed in London.

On sacsrtain ing his loss he exclaimed indignantly, "Soms one has stolen nay watchl" Upon which one of the crowd quietly said, No, not stolen, only nationalizedl"

The Union Pacific Earnings.

NEW YORK, April 24.-Sidney Dillon,
President of the Union Pacific Railway,
said yesterday in explanation of the de-
creased earnings OF the road; "One year
ago the earnings of the St. Joseph &
Western were included in our reports,
but now that road is operated indepen =
emily. The earnings were over 100000
a month, but this sum had to be returned
to the company in ehe end. In adj
dition to this we were building the Ore
gon Short Line, and for that and other
new roads we were carrying a good deal
of construction material. Our present
earnings are reported in comparison to
these large earnings, but the comparison
is not so unfavOrable as itappears TO be,
because it is largely matter of book
keeping. The result at the end Of the
year will show that the real business of
the company has not suffered severely.

but Still In the Tub.

JOPLIN, Mo-, April 24.-There seems to
prevail well established tradition among
miners that one accident in the mines Is
sure to be followed in short order by
others. This belief has been strengthened
among the miners recently by several &C.
cidents, the last Of which occurred
at Carterville on Tuesday, when
three men entered the tub to
be lowered into the mine. The shaft Is l25
feet deep, and when the men were about
halfway down the machinery became
unmanageable, letting the tub and its &C.
cupants fall the rest of the distance to
the bottom. Much to the surprise of
every one, instead of being instantly
killed, neither Of the men were seriously
hurt, the worst injury being broken and
badly dishgured nose.
