SECRETARY BAyARD in his letter OF
February Is TO the Chinese Minister re-
fers to "thc contractual obligations of
China" and to the "contraciual as.
pccts' Of the reciprocity question. IIe
also alludes to the "consuetudinary
privilege of emigration" which eX.
listed prior to 1868. These be heavy
words to throw at the representative of
nation to whose subjects we have
guaranteed all the immunities enjoyed
by the subjects of the most favored
nations. Unless Mr.. Bayard can show
that our Government has fired the
same kind of jaw. breakers ut the men
of other nationalities Is there not herein
violation of our treaty obligations
The fishing up of obsolete or OBJ
scurc words with which to clothe
ideas is consuctude more honored in
the breach than in the observance. As
for "contractual," those unlettered
men, Webster and Worcester, refuse
TO give it place in their dictionaries.
For seventy five years to come the
South will be helping to pay pensions
to the soldiers and to the widows of the
soldiers of the North. Does 1t not then
appear that the policy which rejects
the comparatively triiling aid proifcrel
by the School bill-thrcefourths of
which only will go to the South, and in
the whole period of eight years will
not give the South so much rs the pen.
sion bill of single year carries to the
North-must be the work of an idiotic
head or of malignant heart? II
should be remembered that the votes OF
the Southern Representatives have al
ways been freely given. as they will
always be required in order to secure
the pensions to our soldiers and public
improvements TO the whole country.
Let us have education that we may
have peace.

illustrious to the prayerful attention

RUSSIA is formally protesting against
Prince AleXander's occupation of the
Office of Governor of Eastern Rou-
melia, to which place he was appointed
by Turkey. But young Alexander
knows a good thing when he sees it as
well as any office holder in the land of
the free and home Of the brave. In
other words, he will not resign. Rus
sia says that by hanging on so tena-
ciously young Alexander has been
guilty of contempt toward the Powers.
In view of all the facts, we suggest
that the powers call on the Sultan for
all the papers in the case and for his
reason for appointing Alexander.

The "E1irhblnder,, society in China.


The highbinders are a branch of the
Triad society of China This society is
composed of the remnants of the Tai Ping
IT long-hait ID rebellion, which was COM
letely conquered some thirty years ago.
he Triad society is on the plan of the
.ihilists in Russia. Its oath is strong,
nd death is the punishment for revealing
the secrets. On entering a man renOunees
The ties of family, so far as they will con-

vould not submit to blackmail on the part
4 the Triad msn-hence the hatred exist

The object of the society in China is to
Mise money to collect troops and they
nope sometime to overthrow the present
.uling dynasty, which is Manchoo and not
Chinese. The society in this country
originally had the same object and pur-
pose, but after few INSCRIPTIONS men

unity Of using it as a strong means Of
Matchmaking all who do not belong to it,

INDEPENDENCE, March 9.--Not.
wlthstandIag we have been most
severely boycotted by the Baptist
of Texas we are still living and
progressing, and expect TO con-
time thus as long as the good
Lord will let us. We have two
great objects IN view: FIRST, to
make all suitable arrangements TO
carry on the schools, and to make
them what they have never yet
been-unsurpassed. Second. to
build a railroad to some point.
To accomplish this end the cltl-
zens have organized, with suita-
Bile constitution and bylaws, I'M
der the name of independence
Progressive Association. This
body is composed of people of all
classes. Up to last Saturday the
question of education occupied the
attention of the body. Several
good speeches have been made, IN
which the speakers and tho aud
itors evinced much enthusiasm.
The railroad question will be DIS
cussed IN the future. We mean
business-we are going to have 4 !
school and we are going to have a |
railroad. Tho members of the
Progressive Association have
pledged themselves to work to-
gethcr in unity. The building of
the schools and the building of !
railroad we expect to accomplish |
within the next eighteen months, !
and don't you forget it. By run
ming line of three miles TO CLAW !
Station we will be connected with |
the lumber line. We can get lum- |
Der so cheap that in place of the |
old stormbeaten dwellings, we
will have comfortable cottages, or
namenting these classic hills that
have long since, ceased mourning
for the usurped BaylOrs. lit
would be much better TO ran Il Il. |
r. line to Brennan, but we are too |
weak TO undertake so great a task |
without the aid of few OF the
American Eagles that are living
idle IN the vaults of the Brennan |
capitalists. FIRE EATER.
