permit cheap Mongolian labor to
compete with the labor OF the
white man. To-day it is the ques-
ton whether or not persons who are here
by consent OF the Government, and who
are committing no lawless acts, are enti-
tied to the protection of the laws, or
whether they shall be set upon and MUIR
dered by a lawless crowd. 1t is terrible
thing when an American missionary in
China is mobbed, and the whole country
is astir over it; and wherein is the diiter-
ence when inoffensive Cinnamon are
mobbed in America? Yesterday the
State Department mt Washington
received pamphlets and reports from
U. S. Consul Seymour, at Canton, China,
telling OF the prosecutions to which mis-
sionaries there are subjected. What ag-
gravates these things is that often these
prosecutions have the encouragement OF
the local authorities, and that often the
authorities are unwilling to deal justly
with the Chinese. Cannot the Chinese
| Government say the same thing about
the American Government, and say how
| Cinnamon are murdered and their places
| pillaged, and that the local authorities
here refuse to deal justly with
| Americans? The I" heathen Chi
nee" must laugh in his sleeve
when he listens to the sermons OF an
/ American missionary on Christianity and
thinks how industrious Cinnamon are
murdered in Christian America. Ger
tainly, if the "heathen Chinee" on his ma
tive hearth refuses to accept American
Christianity his mind must be very much
darkened, and assigns as a reason for re-
fusing to accept our Christianity that il
does not seem to have made Americans
much better than Chinese, if the Rocl;
Springs massacre is the result OF Chris
tianity and higher civilization. Fol
| Americans to murder Cinnamon il
America, and for them to preach salvation
and the doctrine OF love your neighbor a
Yourself in China, is sort OF bean
and mote affair. If workingmei
in Wyoming may order Chinese herr
and there at their pleasure, anc
murder Cinnamon when such pleasure il
not complied with, and the United State
Government is powerless to do anything
to protect them, surely the United State
have no ground OF complaint against TIN
Pekin Government if it is powerless t.
protect American missionaries in China
a Government that processes no Christia
civilization.

Mr.. Glndsfone in Highland Reel.

The frolicsome Countess OF Desmond,
who died at Kilkenny at six score years
or so through fall from an apple tree,
used to dance the Irish trot to within ten
years of her death. That is what they call
the jig in our time, and she must have
been an agile and airy old girl to have
shaken successful toe to it at her age.
Well, we were reminded Of this and other
prodigies of the patriarchal period by
the accounts OF the performance of the G..
o. NJ. at Fasque House on the occasion
the other day OF the celebration of the
golden wedding of his brother, Sir Thomas
Gladstone. Mr.. Gladstone, we are told,
celebrated the occasion by taking part in
Highland reel, and the style in which
he handled his feet suggests that the fate
which made him a great statesman
spoiled great dancing master. Mr.
Gladstone will commemorate his own
golden wedding in four years time, fol
1889 will complete for him half a century
of married life.-London Truth.

SECRETARY DEL CAMPO.

Senor Manuel Del Campo, Secretary of
the Chilian Legation at Washington, has
been on rampage. He seems to have
got into some kind OF quarrel in the
lobby OF the National Theatre, and abso-
lutely refused to be pactied by friend
or listen to his suggestions, and upon
being requested TO depart, refused. His
refusal to depart peaceably procured his
arrest forcibly, and he was taken to the
police station. Here, it seems, he
discovered his identity to the
officers, and was released as a
matter OF course. He was released
because international law exempts the
members OF legations from arrest, it be-
ing supposed that to arrest representa-
tive OF friendly government is TO oeer
such government an indignity. But Sec
retary Del Campo insisted that Secretary
Bayard should be sent for and offer him
an apology. The apology was not offered,
and will not be. Chill thinks she can
domineer over the United States upon
iiic SSa, anu ho uoupl She lS superior 10
us there at present, but she cannot bully
us at home. Doubtless Del Campo
thought she could, and tried it.
He did not succeed, though.
Had he discovered his identity to the
officers at the time OF the disturbance in
the lobby OF the Theatre, he would not
have been touched, and he has himself
to blame for the arrest, Secretary Bay
ard should notify the Chilian Govern
ment OF the affair and request the recall
OF Del Campo; and he probably will. No
government can desire to have any OF its
representatives act in manner unworthy
of it and offensive to the government to
which such representative is assigned.

HAMILTON COUNTY.

From present appearances the political
complexion of the Ohio Legislature de-
pends upon the result OF the vote in
Hamilton county. 1t is the most popu-
lous county in the State and it seems to
have gone Democratic, and already the
Republicans are charging any amount OF
fraud against the Democrats. Ii fraud
has been committed in Cincinnati by the
Democrats and the Republicans are out,
it will be u sort OF offset to last year,
when Hamilton county went Repub-
lican for Blaine by majority OF
5,496, and the Democrats charged
fraud against the Republicans. Gin
cinnati and Hamilton county are
places in which the charge OF fraud gen.
orally has some foundation. Whether
Mclean is guilty OF all that is charged
against him is very doubtful, but it
would be well to remember that even to-
day some Republicans think that Cleve-
land carried New York last fall through
fraud. Another thing that should not be
forgotten is that the Associated Press dis
patches are highly partisan as rule, and
partisan on the Republican side. If all
the statements about fraud in Hamilton
county which are contained in special
telegram to the Tribune OF this city are
true, then John Mclean is entitled to the
penitentiary, and to the Republi-
cans belong the election in Hamil-
ton county. But it is very doubtful
whether these statements are true, they
having coming from the New York Times
a very ultra Republican paper. Certain
it is now that nothing but an official
count can determine to whom belongs
Hamilton county, the Democrats or the
Republicans. John Sherman thinks that
without Hamilton county the Legislature
will be Republican, but it is quite safe tc
say that the way goes Hamilton county
goes the Legislature. We hope that the
Legislature in Ohio will be Democratic
but we would have it Democratic honest
ly or not ut all.

CHINESE AND woRKINGMEN.

A correspondent of the Herald OF this
city has sent the following to that paper
from Green River, Wyo., which appears
there as poster;
"The Chinese must go. One and all take
heed. Over two weeks ago the Cinnamon in
this town We're boycotted, yet few are still
to be found in the employ of hotelkeepers
and others, This must not be. Take this
notice, therefore, as the last warning.
The names of those who have con,
tinued to hire Chinese labor and
patronize the same, since the boycott,
are known and these Chinese sympathizers
shall be closely watched for the next ten
days. They will be allowed until the 18th
OF October, 1888, to substitute white for
China labor, and if this order is not COM
piled with by that date, every hotel every
store, every place of business, and every in
dividual who hires, supports or harbors
Cinnamon shall be in turn boycotted, and
those who in any way help by patronage, OF
otherwise places of business, or individuals
who have been boycotted, shall also be
placed ON the boycotted list This curse
which is corroding the very vitals of Ameri-
can free and honest labor, must and shall be
wiped out
Every one knows what boycotting in
Ireland has come to mean, and boycottinl
in Wyoming will be no milder. On the
poster referred to was the cut of breech
loading rife, and on u boycotting ordei
atGreen River that cut has much the
same significance rs the 2x6 with skull
andcross bones cut of the orders of tn,
yigilantes of old days had. The Chinese
question has assumed an entirely differ
ent aspect from what it was originally
Then it a question Of political economy
and whether or not it was desirable t

The EASTERN UNION.
A Telegraph Line Only Ten Miles Long.
but which Pays . Big Dividend.

The shortest telegraph line owned and
operated in America by a stock company,
incorporated for that sole and especial pur-
pose, is probably the Eastern Union Tele-
graph Company. The line extends from
Greenport, l. l., ten miles TO Orient
Greenport is an old whaling station and
the terminus Of the main line OF the Long
Island Railroad. IL is on the northern OF
the two peninsulas into which Long Island
divides itself on the east, while Orient Is
ten miles TO the eastward. and on the ex-
treme point OF the peninsula. Orient is q
hamlet OF five hundred inhabitants in win
ter, and Of fifteen hundred in summer,
about one thousand OF them city visitors.
A little steamer plies between Orient and
the Connecticut shore, which Is about ten
miles distant. The inhs bitants OF Orient
live by fishing, by the coasting trade,
which consists mostly OF coal carrying,
and by market gardening, most of the pro-
ducs going 70 Boston
When the philosophical residents OF
Orient first broached the proposition to
build telegraph line to Greenport, to con-
meet with the Western Union, which ter
inmates at that point, the Western Union
Company got wind or 10 and offered 70
build the line il the people of Orient would
furnish the telegraph poles. The Orient
ais thought the matter over and got out
their pencils and paper and ciphered that
the poles grew so far away that they would
be too expensive, so they said: "No,
thank YOU" 70 the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. That was two years ago.
A stock company WAS formed with J.
Brown Young OF Orient for President and
wilbur =. Hammond Of Greenport Super
lntsndsnt- Tue capital stock was 81 900.
IL is owned in Orient, Greenport, and New
York City. Superintendent Hammond
built the line for $50, including instru-
msnts and all appurtsnsnces- There are
three stations on the line, Greenport, East {
Marion and Orient An annual dividend
