A Glimpse of Shanghai.

The conservatism of the Chinese char
actcr and the EXTREMIST point Of proyin-
cialsm is instanced in the story told Of
the residents within the walls Of the ma
tive city of Shanghai, writes the Shang
hal CORES spondent Of the st. Louis GloJe
Democrm. The city has three gates
the north south, and west ones and
many of the people living at the south
gate have never been as far as the north
gate and could not understand the dialect
of the inhabitants there if they did 90.
One nation could not differ more from
another than the Chinese from the Japan
ese if they lived 10000 miles apart in
stead Of only 200 miles, and one is all
wrong if he thinks that having seen jap
anese cities he can know what Chinese
one will be like. While the japanese are
the cleane,t people on the face Of The
earth and far ahead of the English foT
etcrnally bathing and scrubbing them
selves, the Chinese are the very dirtlest.
The trim, exquisite little toy houses OF
the japanese along wide streets are the
greatest contrast to the filthy abodes OF
the Chinese, with their dirt floors, mud
and bamboo-wAen walls, and streets
often less than five feet wide from wall
to wall. Overhead is a forest Of gilt let
tiers, gorgcously colored signs AID ban
ners that fairly hide the sky. The mar
row streets, with shop fronts all open
above low counter, seem like passages
in some fantastic exhibition hall with
booths or "spaces" close together. Mere
crevices in the walls correspond TO alleys
and looking up them or down the tunnel
Of street before one it is easy to realize
what is meant by "swarms Of people OF
''masses of human beings. All through
old Shanghai the people are packed a. i
at mass meeting, and one has to dodge
into shops or fatten himself against
wall at the constant cries of the coolies
carrying loads by poles or yokes on tneH
shoulders Buckets of water and gar,
bage, bundles of dried fish bodies o.
dressed hogs, cotfins of the dead and Sc,
dan chairs Of the living crowded US into
the wall and rubbed against US during
progress through the handsomest ana
most important four-feet-wide street oi
the city. The people were all too busy
and too stolidly indifferent to gather anu
stare at Us, or follow US in train as Is
the happy japanese fashion Of treating
strange foreigner, and We really felt
twinges Of wounded vanity at TINS neg

A sttmuIsnt and a Narcotic.

What meaning should we attach to
the words stmulant and narcotic2 A
stimulaut may be defined as that which
ministers to healthy activities, support
ing the processes Of life in health and
restoring them in disease A stimulant
acts chiefly in removing or counteracting
depressing inhuences-it may be pain,
fatigue, or morbid sensibility. Thus
mustard, applied externally in infamma-
ton, is at times a true stimulant, and
tends to restore healthy vital action by
freeing the circulation and the nerves
from the depressing influences of pain.
A cup of tea, also, is in its place true
stimulant, restoring the natural tone OF
the central nervous system. On the
other hand, a narcotic is a substance
which by poisoning the nervous system
produces gradual paralysis of vital
actions. Under narcotics, intelligence,
volition, reason, consciousness, even life
itself are lost and these are the out
ward and visible signs of a process tax
ing place within the nervous system,
where the powers Of life are >tubboruly

as it were inch by inch to its invasion

Filled with life and strength and hope
Looking far beyond the present,

With "a worn and weary face,
With searching, anxious features,
And weak uncertain pace

Somewhat Inconsistent.

a statement was made at the meeting
of The Democratic Executive Committee
on Friday, at which consent was given to
Messrs. Gordon, Reilly and Hsrtridge to
run as Democratic candidates for the
Legislature, which ought to arrest the at
tention or every thinking Knight OF Labor
in the county. The statement was that
the legislative ticket, nominated at the
Court House square mass meeting, and
| known as the Knights OF Labor ticket,
was gotten up for the purpose Of prevent
Ing Capt. W. W. Gordon's return to the
Legis lature.
Assuming that this statement is well
founded-aud there is no apparent reason
for doubling it-how great must be the
feeling OF Indignation of genuine and sim
cere Knights of Labor at discovering that,
instead Of controlling the legislative NOM
nations in the interest of wOrkingmen,
their organization was skillfully used to
defeat the nomination Of a man against
whom they have no reasonable ground Of
complaint, and who is perhaps as good a
friend as workingmen have!
And why was 1t desired that Capt. Cor
don should be defeatedf Report says that
1t was because be favored the interests of
the pilots in the last Legislature instead
OF those of few capitalists who are own
ers Of vessels. And who are the pilots?
Are they workingmen or capitalists!
Surely, no one would class them as capt.
talists. They are not rich. Indeed, they
have a pretty hard struggle to get the
necessares of life. Are they not work
ingmen in every sense Of the term? Does
not ;heir calling require them to endure
hardship and face dangers2 Night
and dav and in all sorts Of weather they
are engaged IN their arduous duties.
Their compensation is small and the de-
mands upon their courage and physical
endurance great. Their bronzed faces
and hardened hands are signs that they
belong to the great army of bread-win-
ners. And yet it seems that it was for
the purpose of Furnishing the champion
of the rights of these workipgmen that
the Knights of Labor were led to capture
a Democratic mass meeting and nomi-
nate a legislative ticket in the name of
Democracy.
organization, which contains many bright.
men, should have permitted itself to be
used against workingmen and In the in
terest of capitalists? How can the
Knights of Labor expect the sympathy OF
the public when their course OF action
appears to be so contradictory to their
announced principles?
There was no overpowering reason why
Capt. Gordon should have supported the
pilots against vessel owners. II he had
consulted his own interests it may be that
he would have taken a different course.
Investigation, however, showed him that
the pilots were right; that they were bat
tling against power apparently greater
than theirs, and he lent them-the work
ingmen-a helping hand, and for this act
workingmen are to be made the iAstru-
ments to punish him.
