effect an entrance through the front
window of MaxwelPs saddle shop. After
watching the fellows manmuVers for a
while, he went and notified Sheriff Nor

the burglar had the window knocked
out and was on the inside rafting
among tho chains and things. Thew

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-The news

against the iniquitous practice, just dis
covered, of white mothers giving and sell
ling their illegltimate babies to the Chi
nese. Inquiry shows that systematic
traffic in them has been going on for
long time, mainly through tine agency
of private lying-in hospitas. Five cases
OF white babies in the possession of fe-
male proprietresses Of Chinese brothels
have been already discovered, and
there are good grounds for believing
there are hundreds of others, but the
Chinese, fearing discovery, have hid
them out of sight. 1t is asserted to-

Chinese spectators and sent to China,
where they are raised atlll they are l2
years old, when they are sold to rich
Cinnamon for large sums, who place

brethren to settle among themselves, To a
party which such treachery suits such an
appointment may be acceptable
But there is one very plain duty arising
out of all this to the Republican Senators
from Maine. They cannot permit such an
appointment to be confirmed. The confirm
alton of Mr.. Chase would be their dis
grace and they will never permit 1t to take
place.
Perhaps it is matter of legitimate COM
ment to add that the improperly of the &C.
ton on the part of the President is greatly
heightened by the fact that he substitutes
this man Chase for perhaps the most accom-
plished officer of his grade in the revenue
collection service. Mr.. Rollins has served
bis country SO faithfully and has been SO
little OF partisan and so thoroughly we'd
ded to his duties that 1t seems signal def
ance of the Presidents proclaimed princi-
pies to remove Mr.. Rollins, and an equally
signal defiance of the opinions of honorable
men to put Tabulator Chase in his place.
We cannot but believe that the President
has been imposed upon and upon his learn
ing the real facts another appointee will
see his way clear. "not to embarrass the adj
ministration."
In Massachusetts the name,-shal we say
the honored name?-of Eben F. Pillsbury
has been or is to be presented to the SEN
ate for the like Office. If Chase was the
back bone of the conspiracy against govern
ment by the people Eben 3. Pillsbury was
the brains, so far as such bad action can be
said to be the result of brains. 1t is true
that 1t may be urged in favor of Mr.. Pills
bury that upon detection he had the grace to
exile himself from the theatre of his ex-
ploits and seek in the secluded shades of
Boston, that temporary obscurity which
spirit wounded by detection is so prone to
desire. If the Senators of Massachusetts,
wish such an addition to the public history
OF Massachusetts, they at leas. know what
they are getting.
Such appointments as those of Chase and
Pllsbury ought not to be made the subject
OF partisan comment They ought to be
made the subject of reprobation without
distinction of party, or age, or sex.

Chase and Pillsbury.

We are not among those who have be-
lieved that the Democratic party could
change its nature by coming into power, or
that the small leaven of Mugwumpery could
penetrate the whole batch. The action,
however, or rather non-action, of the Presi-
dent had given rise to the hope that no abso-
lutely discreditable thing would be done.
1t is true that the appointments of foreign
ministers have almost all been of men I'M
heard of before except in the ranks of the
late Confederate army. It is true also that
even as to these unknown men enough had
been found out in regard to two of them to
render their withdrawal so evidently proper
that it was apparent even to themselves, and
human experience shows how bad case
must be which can make itself evident to an
ofice-seeker. Nevertheless, even in these
cases, there could be little foundation for
serious complaint. They were blunders
merely, resulting from bad policy Of Sc
lecting men who never had any such promi-
nence as would or could elicit that full dis
cnssion of their characters by the people,
which is the only safeguard against IMPOSE
ton in the appointment of public officers.
1t may please the unthinking TO have Demo
Gratis of known reputation ignored in favor
OF the unknown, but there is no wise states
manship in it. When a well known man is
taken you know what you get, but the Nc
Gees and Lawtons and Keileys may chance
OF wheat or of some other grain, or it may
De OF such unbakable chaff as Is blown
away by the first wind of common sense.
But for the appointment of Charles 81.
Chase no words Of excuse can be said. He
was not unknown. He reached from the
lowest obscurity bad eminence at one
bound. BE was the backbone of the worst
conspiracy ever entered upon TO deprive
free people of their. choice. To that series
of acts condemned by all good citizens and
such Democrats as Putnam and perbaps
Cleaves, he owes all, and singular, the promi-
hence he has before the public. It NAV be
that within the ranks of the Democracy
itself he added to his first and characteristic
fame by the method which he employed to
supplant really distinguished Demoa
crat as the delegate to Chicago. But this

The death sentence does not mean death
in Kansas. The law of the state sentences
murderer to death but the sentence does
not take effect unless, at the expiration OF
one year. the Governor signs the death war
rant. If this is not done the prisoner is
confined under life sentence. No Gov
ernor has yet been elected who would sign
death warrant and for this reason there
are now thirty death sentenced prisoners in

1--WE got 'em, and they can now howl as
much as they like" remarked the Tabulator,
abiding to the disgust which his appoint
ment excited among some of his Democratic
brethren. The Tabulator was right, he has
"got 'em" and 1t isn't the first time he has
"got 'em' either. He SCOT 'emn last fall
when he compelled them to nominate Mr..
Daniel w. True to vindicate his action in
the count-out. He "got 'em'' again when
he tricked them into sending him as a dele
gate to the Chicago convention. He sgot
'em'' once again when he compelled them to
elect "Sime" Brown, one of his fellow con-
spirators in the count-out, chairman of the
Democratic State Committee And now he
has "got 'em" fourth time by securing for
himself the first appointment in Portland
under the national administration. The fact
is the Tabulator has come to be the most po-
tent man in the Democratic party in Maine.
Spite of all efforts to keep him down he hab-
tually turns up on top. Those Democrats
who have been skeptical in the past in re-
gard to his power might as well give in and
make their peace with him. He is the Dem
ocratic boss of Maine and it will not be well
with the Democrats who forget it.

The Argus asserts that the Republicans
are very much dismayed by the appointment
of Tabulator Chase to be collector of inter-
nal revenue. We can assure the Argus
that the Republicans are in tolerably good
spirits. If the Democrats can stand the ap-
pointment of the Tabulator the Republicans
certainly can. As long as he is kept before
the public gaze the Republicans will be
spared the trouble of showing up the hypoc-
risy of the reform pretensions of the present
administration. 1t will be patent to every
body.

Gladstone's statement in the House of

to abandon the war for revenge in the Sou
dan. Ii war breaks out between Russia and
England the troops now there will be speedi-
ly Withdrawn and sent where they can do
more good, and in any event it is probable
that the English will content themselves
with stationing small garrisons at some of
the important towns which they now hold, land

Asiatic war cloud, therefore, has been of some
advantage to the ministry already. 1t has en-

The Rite Of sssuttee .

Since the advent of the British into
power in India the fearful rite of sut-
tee, which condemned to be burnt
along with her husband his widows,
has been prevented; and though, even
at this day a Hindostani burning is a
sight by no means pleasant, it was
much more fearful when along with
the burning dead husband were burned
one or more of his late wives.
The first time when that sacrifice
was clearly brought home to English
men was when Job CharnOck, half
pirate, half adventurer, saved the life
of a beautiful Bengalee widow as she
was being thrust upon the burning
pyre of her late husband. Job Char
mock laid the foundation of the pres
ent Capital of India, Calcutta, and it
was at its present site where the gal
lant sailor performed this hazardous
saving feat. Charnock had penetrat-
ed up the Hoogly. in quest of advent
ures, and seeing from his vessel prep
aration Cor the burning Of a Hindoo he
watched the process with curious ex-
element; but when it came to cremat-
ing living people. and above all
young woman, all the generous impul-
ses of the sailors heart were stirred,
and calling to his comrades he leaped
ashore, and with the aid of their
knives he dispersed the heathens, and
afterward married the woman and
founded Culcutta Francisco Er-
aminer.

Below the Sea.

8NANH VIZ AaeAA
Deep in the bay the old church lies,
Beyond the storrn-wind's power,
The waves that whelmed it ever play
In ripples round the tower
And you look down through the tide
Many and many a time
You may catch the glimmer Of the stones,
Or hear the sweet bells chime
For they that dwell deep in the sea,
Below the wind and rain,
The Mermen and the Mermaidens,
Have built it up again
They have made fast the ruined walls
With their immortal hands,
And strewn the aisle with red sea-flowers,
And with the wet sea sands.
And when a drifting boat comes hack
Rock shattered TO the shore,
With never captain at the helm,
Nor sailor at the oar,
Then down below the stormy foam
The sweet old bells ring free,
They call upon the mariners
That come no more from sea.
