Pretty Mrs. Chung Sing.
From tie Kansas 0itv Times.

from Ue n H2t5dS IN Iflne9.
When the Santa Fe came to a halt at the
L mon depot last evening an unprepOssessin.c
Chnaman stepped out Of the sleeping car.
He was followed by another equally hOmely
Celestial. and then came the daintlest little
Chinese lady ever seen east OF the Rocky
Mountains. She was attired in a loose robe
of sky-blue silk, and the only orn ament to her
head was fine growth of glossy black hair.
which was combed straight back from a low
forehead aud tied in a knot behind. Surround :
ing the latter was q garland OF artificial flow
ers of various hues. Her feet, unlike those of
most Chinese bellies, were not infnltesimaI
though they were certainly not as large AZ
the pedal eNtremIties Of a St. Louis girl
Their only popularity was the thin shoes in
which they were encasGd, the soles Of which
were shaped like truncated pyramid. and
were about as uncomfortable as the shoes
worn few years ago by American ladies OF
fashion. Her complexion was several shades
lighter than tnat OF her companions, and had
IL not been for the almond eyes her face would
have been decidedly pretty.
The lady was Mrs. Chung Sing, wife OF Dr
Chung Sing, one Of her COMPANIONS, The
other was her father. Chung S ing 10 a Chi
nese doctor who has moved TO this CITY from
Colorado. His last field OF labor was Pueblo.
and 1t was while there that he acquired his
wife. IL was done Ia truly Chinese fashion,
sing paid the aiy's father 81 900 for her, be-
sides sending $500 for their travelling expenses

was deeply impressive. wound up with a big

Qualification of the Candidates.

I Hon. J. G. c. Back. Of Augusta. IN
lengthy letter IN the Chronicle Of that
city, advocates the election Of Maj. Bacon.
T The gist of Mr. Blacks epIstle IS that
! Gen. Gordon was a good soldier, but
I hasn't the qualities necessary 10 make a
good Governor. As this is not the hrst
time mat this suggestion has been made
bv the Bacon men, it is not worth special
consideration. Whatever influence the
letter may have in the campaign will be
due to the name attached to it rather than
10 anything II contains.
There are Gordon men who are ready.
doubtless, to show that Maj. Bacon hasn't
the qualities which are required in a Gov
ernor, and they can make out about as
good case, perhaps, against Maj. Bacon
as Mr. Black has made out against Gen.
Gordon.
The truth is, that it is impossible to
foretell what sort OF a Governor a man will
make. There are plenty Of instances
where predictions with respect to Gov
ernors have failed. AS public men are
viewed from partisan standpoint specu-
latIons relative to their fitness for Off ce,
WHETHER by IFlenQs or enemies, are not
worth much. While it may be true
that Maj. Bacon is better fitted for
Governor than Gen. Gordon is, it
will be admitted by fair-minded men,
doubtless. that the question whether he is
or not cannot be determined except by
actual trial; and as there is not much
probability that both will reach the Gov
ernorship, we may assume that the ques-
cations as to which has the superior qualfi-
tions for Governor Will remain unsettled.
tits certain that there is a wide differ
ence between the mental characteristics
of the two men, and that one is better
adapted to looking after the details than
the other, but there may be times when
the Governor will be required to exercise
higher powers Of mind than are required
TO discharge tue duties Of a clerk. But
because a man can do the work of a clerk
IL doesn't follow that he can't handle
state problems, nor does it follow that
man who can lead an army can't be a
statesman.

Providing for the UnempIoved.


One of the things discussed by the
Knights OF Labor in their convention at
Cleveland is the necessity tor furnishing
employment for the unemployed. One Of
the suggestions is that municipal govern
ments shall find work for the unem ployed
within their respective jurisdictions at
not less than 81 per day.
1t is not probable that the suggestion
will be adopted. II towns and cities were
to employ all idle persons within their re-
spective limits, they would soon have
empty treasures. Thousands wOu Id
abandon their present employment and
look to the municipal governments for
support because Of the better pay and less
work.
Mr. Wright, the Commissioner of La
Dor, says there are 100000 idle men in
the country. His statement doubtless is
correct; but it is matter OF Importance
to know what percentage OF these idle
persons is sober and industrious. If the
truth were known it would appear. dou bt-
less, that there are not 100, O0O-perhaps
not 0,000-industriOus, competent, sober
wOrkmen at the present time who cannot
find employment that will yield them
support. Or course we do not include in
this number the cranks who are not
wanted anywhere because they are
source of annoyance and trouble.
Take. for instance, printers. Will any
foreman of printing Office ever say that
he has not room for competent, sober and
Industrious cOmposiUors? Such compos j.
tors are welcomed in every printing office.
There is always room for them, and vet
printers, in qualities which are desirable
in workmen, average as high as any other
kind of employees.
There is n demand everywhere for COM
peteut and sober wOrkmen. men who will
give a good days work for a good days
pay. Very many, perhaps the most OF
those out of employment, have themselves
70 blame for being idle.
Those of the iourneymen mechanics
in this city who are industrious
and sober have seldom or
never any reason to complain that
they have nothing to do They are fairly
prosperous, have comfortable homes,
which. as a rule, they own, ana dress and
live we'll. Those Of them, however. who
waste the greater part of their earnings
in drink find little pleasure, or even COM
fort, in life. They are TOO tired the greater
part Of their time TO work, and they de-
pend largely upon their wives for the
means of living. They are some of the
1000, 900 idle men OF whom Commissioner
Wright speaks.
The demand for assistance does not
generally come from the earnest workers,
but from thriftless, idle and drinking
men who are not willing to lead a sober,
1 industrious life.
