How to Keep All Sin Out of This Country
What Is Needed to Increase Our

NEW YORK. Aug. 81. -John Russell
Young ex-mlnister TO China, in an inter
view Wednesday, said: "The emigration
question is not understood In America. I'm
migration from China comes from one
point alo. Canton Canton is a city Of
1000, 900 people, the center Of vasi
province, the most northern port in
China. Within seven hours of Can
ton, by river, is Hong Kong. Hong
Kong is a Briti-h settlement, rs much un-
der the British flag rs is Cork or Liverpool
All the traffic in the way of emigration t.
America comes from Hong Kong, mainly
through English houses. There is no stipu
lation or treaty, and there can be none to
justify US in asking the Chinese government
to prevent Chi amen from going from
Canton to Hong Kong Once there, they
are free from Chinese influence. IL the
American government wishes to reach
the emigration question, it will hav,
to go to Lord Salisbury and ask him
to so instruct his government in Hong
Kong as that there may b.
no emigration. The British governor
general at Hong Kong, whom | know very
we'll, and whose guest have been, said be
was perfectly willing, If the American gov
eminent wished it, to stop the immigration,
but | had no instructions. There is moth
ing In the record to show that China ha,
ever endeavored to evade the treaty. On the
contrary, she has inforced it even NOR
strongly than any request Of ours calls for.
The Chinese do not care for the emigration.
They would stop the whole thing anyday
They do not. Of course, like the idea OF
other nationalttiss being accepted in Amer
lea and they being excluded, but that is {
question of pride on their part

EsCze1lla!s

For the benefit of suffering humanity, and in
heartfelt gratitude at the wonderful result, |
deem it only my duty to give this un olicited tes
timony in favor of Swift's Specific. My wife has
been afflicted with hereditary Eczema or S 1t
Rheum from her infancy. 1t has increased in in
tensity with each succeeding spring, and being
somewhat skilled in med cine myself, l tried
every remedy cOuld think of for years Sarss
parla combined with every form of Potassiae,
and hundreds of other remedies, lotions and
alkali washes of every kind known, but they all
gave only temporary relief.
During the spring of 1884 her lower extrem-
tiles became SO intlamed and sore that she was
obliged to keep them constantly coated with a
covering of "Fuller's Earth mixed wet and al
lowed to dry on. Among other things she was
Iliicted with periodical nervous headache, oc
curing regularly every seven days, sometimes
followed by an intermittent fever for weeks at u
time, so that her life became burdento her.
This spring determined she should take :. s.
s. and follow strictly the directions i'll regard 10
dose, diet, etc This was about seven weeks ago.
After taking the first large bottle the disease
seemed to increase; the burning. itching and in
hnmmatiOn became unbearable She, however.
persevcred in the uce of the medicine. After ia
king the second bottle the Inflammation began to
subside After the thirh bottle the inflam mBtion
disappeared, and sore spots dried up and turned
in an impal pable white powder resembling pure
salt She is taking the sixth bottle, three TIA
hlespoonfu!s four times daily. Every appear
ance of the disease has gone, and her flesh is be-
coming soft, white and smooth again; and what is
more, her periodical headaches have disappeared
and she isnow, nj So years of age, enjoying the
only good health she has known for upwards of
40 years No wonder she declares with emuhasis
that every bott e of 5 s, 5. Is worth a thousand
times its weight in gold.
AMI further information concerning her case
will be cheerfully given by herself at her resi-
dence, 1856 Mullett street, er by me.

ernor and attorney general TO protect and
preserve the rights Of the people under the

approve the administration Of President
Cleveland and of Governor Pattison; oppose
the importation Of foreign pauper
