Japan journal on the Chinese Question.
Since it is fact that citizens of the
United States have, without any reasonable
excuse, injured citizens of the Chinese en-
pire within the territory of the United States,
we see no reason whatever why the Amer
lean government should not pay proper
indemnity to the Chinese government We
believe that in ordinary cases, under similar
circumstances, the United States would
without hesitation accede to the demand of
compensation. But there is one thing
which makes the case especially unfavorabe
to the Chinese empire. That is, the world
does not look upon the American Chinese
trouble as an ordinary international affair
1t is only when contestants are not very
unequal in their respective situations, that
the question Of right and wrong plays any
important part in the settlement of a dis
pute. When two persons of very different
social standing quarrel, the rule is that the
one of the higher position is generally con-
sidered right, and the other wrong For
instance, in the feudal times, when a
samurai tretainer) and a yeta the lowest
Caste entered into a quarrel, the result,
nine times out of ten, was that,
however reasonable the latter's
claim might be, the samurai
was declared right and the yeta wrong. This
was not only because the law of our country
was at that time very imperfect, but chiefly
because it was recognized by all the Jap
anese as a matter of fact that the yeta was
not an ordinary human being. but a Great
ure degree below mankind and that any
common human being was just as right in
beating and killing this inferior creature as
in similarly treating dog or cat Thus
to illtreat yeta was regarded by the old
japanese neither as a moral offense nor as
legal offence
Now, it can not be denied that the Amer
leans look upon the Chinese to-day as our
samurai looked upon the yeta in the feudal
times Since the Americans do not admit
the Chinese to be their equals, they do not
much hesitate to inflict any kind of injury
upon the latter. Not only the Americans them
selves, but all the other civilized nations of
the world entertain the same feeling against
the Chinese Hence the recent massacre Of
the Chinese in the United States does not
eceive severe condemnations from ether
civilized countries There are indeed,
some people here and there, who denounce
the brutality of the rioters and sympathize
with the poor Cinnamon But we are afraid
that their motive in so doing is of the same
nature as that Of a grandmother who chides
her grandchild for teasing a cat, or Of a
philanthropist who pities an unfortunate
horse whipped by a cruel master.-Trans-
lated from Jiji Simpo

barrel puriiies it perfectly; that plaster
busts and statuetts may be cleaned, when il
is not desired to paint them, by dipping
them into thick liquid starch and drying
and when the starch is brushed off the dirt
is brushed off with it: that it is a good
plan to go over the bedsteads before begin
ming any of the cleaning as delay in these
days when the sun has become strong is apt
to increase the trouble there: that it is
wise to open the campaign at the top OF the
house and in the unused rooms and SO give
less confusion and prominence to the affair:

HELEN HUNT JACKSON.
HER GRAVE ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP.
The Noted Writer and Noble Woman En-
tombed rs She Wished to Be-Her
Last Home.

I'VE wish to visit Mrs. Helen Hunt
Jackson's grave to-day" we said to our
guide as we entered the carriage at the
door Of our hotel in Colorado Springs
one lovely June day last spring. "All
right" was the reply. but you will have
to do some climbing, tell you, for her
grave is half mile above the last of the
seven falls" A delightful drive of five
miles brought US to the entrance of Chey-
enne Canon; there we alighted as the
road had been rendered impossible by
last winter s storms. We soon found
ourselves, as it seemed, In the very heart
of the mountains. On every side rose
the dark granite walls, towering hun
dreds of feet above our heads. The road
was barely wide enough to have allowed
a carriage to pass; along one side ran a
little singing mountain stream. Oh,
those mountain streams, how beautiful
they arel Slipping through ravines,
roaring through gorges, laundering over
precipices, shimmering in pools, spark
ling in sunlight, cleaning in shade, sing
ing, whispering, laughing, charming the
eye, enhancing the ear. We never tired
of admiring them. This one ran close
to the base Of the mountain, and, like all
the others, was deliciously cool and re-
freshing to the taste. Not sunbeam
reached US. We walked as in the IRE
ligious light" Of some grand old cathe-
dral. The air was pure and exhilarating.
At every step new beauties caught our
eyes. Suddenly, before US rose the lofty
wall as if to stop farther progress; but
lol turning a sharp corner, we beheld
the first of the seven falls, glittering and
foaming; it fell from its rocky height "a
thing Of beauty and a JOY forever"
III you can climb those stairs" said
our guide, ito the top of the falls and
then 60 still on and up quarter Of
mile, you will reach the summit Of Mount
Jackson" 1--WE can do it," we cried,
and
UP WE WENT.
These stairs, 700 feet in height, are built
almost perpendicularly up the mountain
side. At intervals are small landings,
where one can rest and feast their eyes
at leisure At the foot of the third fall
plank had been laid from the landing
to a small cleft in the rock on the other
side of the fall, and one adventurous
youth crossed on it and stood moment
leaning against the mountain and gazing
up at the torrent as it poured over the
precipice above him. he enjoyed it, but
1t looked dangerous to the onlookers,
and we were glad when he was at our
side again. Arrived at the last fall, we
found ourselves in gorge-like spot be-
tween two peaks. still rising higher and
higher. The stream rippled merrily at
our feet, all unconscious of the rocks II
must leap on its way to the valley. And
on board attached to tree we saw
written: Follow the arrows to the left
and you will reach Mrs. Jackson's
grave"

We did as directed, and after climbing
II appeared to us mile, the way was so
steep and the footing so insecure, we
found ourselves on small plateau en-
bracing. perhaps. an acre of level ground.
There, In the shade of half dozen small
trees, was a lonely mound. With bowed
heads we stood beside it. Above US on
either side and behind US lowered the
mountains; before US, bathed in sunlight,
lay the valley, so far below that the city
Of Colorado Springs looked like a miniat-
ure fairy town instead Of a dwelling
place for ordinary mortals. How still
How still! No song Of bird; not even the
hum of an insect disturbed the solemn
silence.
Our voices hushed, we looked upward.
Heaven seemed nearer than earth. The
white clouds floating in the blue sky;
the dark mountain sides, with here and
there . cedar tree springing from cleft
In the rick; the little mound at our feet,

NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.
We gathered the few wild flowers
species of yarrew of different colors-
and with few white stones placed them
reverently at the head Of the grave
which is yet without tablet.
One said: How could she have wish
ed to lie in this lonely spotT There was
no answer made to the question. Each
member of the party had their own
thought; as for me, felt it "a fitting
place for the authoress of Ramona.
Slowly we retraced our steps, finding
the descent nearly as difficult as the as
cent.
How did they ever reach this place

There is another road" he answered,
''by which wagons can come within four
miles of here, then mules were used the

I continued.
"Oh, yes" he replied, II have often
driven her carriage myself. She used to
spend whole days up here with her writ
ing materials. She was lovely woman,
and as good as she was smart"
A homely eulogy, but evidently sim
cere one.
Arriving in Colorado Springs we drove

two-story cottage with beautiful yard
and pleasant surroundings. A bright
