Russell s,agc's Penuriousness.

Says New York letter to the Chicago
Times "There is no question about the
general niggardliness of Russell Sage. 1t
is extraordinary that man of his millions
should have so vast aud deep regard for
dime. But he is eternally and peiennialy
close. 1t isn't true that he waits for the
ilve.ceD time on the elevated road, for he
has pass which takes him up aud down
town for nothing. While Gould is spend
ing his hundred thousand dollars a year for
his yacht and fully as much more or his
country place up the Hudson, Mr. Sage
travels on free pass down to little VII
lage on Long Island named Quogue, and
lives in small boarding-house on $l2 Ia
week. His fortune is S30,000,0O0 or S40,-
000,000, and there is not an Office boy In his
employ who doesn't spend more money on
,luxuries than old Russell Sage himself, He
is of about as much consequence in New
York, socially and politically, as Chatham
street pawn-broker, but he Is worshiped in
the neighborhood Of the Stock Exchange"

The Sun this morning says "The miscre-
ants who come here with bombs and dyna-
mite must be put down with the strong hand
instantly, and afterward those who remain
alive must be tried and must have justice,
but not mercy"
The World says; "such uprlsings as that at
Chicago should be crushed with strong
arm, and the sternost justice be enforced
against their promoters, who are the enemies
of the American Republic and of all its ctl
zens without distinction"
The TriJuHe says: 1.-THE Anarchists are not
honest workngmen, but pirates, making war
upon society, and as such they must be dealt
with"
The star says: Labor marching forward
under the banners Of peace advances TO II
certain victory. when It takes into its hands
the weapons of anarchy 1t goes to certain
defeat"
The Times says: "The dictates of Justice,
the safety Of society, and above all, the safety
Of the brave men on whom the safety of 80.
ciety rests, require that the eowardly savages
who plotted and carried out this murder shall
suffer the death they deserve"
The HeJdld says: 1.-THE country has plain
duty before ii. Violence must be put down.
At any cost, it must be put down, and so
roughly that Ii will not easily rise again"

OUR RELATIONS WITH CHINA
THE BURLINGANIE TREATY.

The Burlingame treaty with China
was shrewd mixture of business and
philanthropy. 1t was finely balanced
between God and mammon. The en-
terprising American, who had become
the Chinese diplomat, daz2led his i'm
perial master by two high. sounding
articles, formally reserving to China
certain sovereign powers which had
not been surrendered, or in any man
ner impaired by the old treaties, and
which, therefore, required no such
protection.
Then came the philanthropy-on
business principles The rage against
coolie importations had to be met. The
anti coolie act expressly permitted
voluntary immigration of Chinese. But
the importers of coolies were so open
in their unlawful traffic, as illustrated
in the case of the Central Pacific Com
pany, as to make it evident that i'm.
portation was the rule and immigration
the exception. The outcry against the
coolie trade was met and diverted by
new treaty article, proclaiming "the
inalienable right of man to change his
home and allegiance, and also the mu-
tual advantage of the free migration
and emigration of their citizens and
subjects respectively from the one
country to the other" The agent of the
Koopmanchap Brothers, large coolie
importers, advertised In Boston daily
paper that he was prepared to supply
any number Of these laborers under
contracts, and then displayed his versa
tility by contributing to monthly
magazine an article on the Chinese
question, in which he magnified the
universal brotherhood Of man." 1t
was repetition of the plea of African
slave-traders that they were Christian
izing their black victims.
The Burlingame treaty, by declaring
Chinese immigration desirable, changed
the issue, but not the fact. The pre-
tended Immigration" was none of it
voluntary; it was procured by merce-
nary traders in labor. But it was de.
ception, and the East could not see
what objection the West could have to
what seemed to them bona fide immi-
grafton, Then it was desirable thing
to make labor cheap all for the sake of
the brotherhood of man."
Then came the fraudulent article in
the treaty by which each nation pledged
TO the subjects or citizens of the other
the same privileges and immunities as
1t grants to those of the most favored
nations. Observe the absence of reci-
procity here.
China gives to the subjects of the
most favored nations the right to visit,
reside and trade at either one Of SeCen
designated ports, but no where else, nor
to engage even there in anything but
trade.
The United States gives the subjects
of the most favored nations the right to
reside anyWhere, and engage in any
pursuit.
And so for the privilege of seven
towns in China, for Americans, we
opened our whole country to as many
millions as chose to come.
Last of ALL and very suggestive OF
the business capacity of the Yankee
Chinaman for the nonce, is the pro
vision in the last article, that, while
the United States would not, for
worlds. dictate progress TO China, never.
theless If China should happen to want
railroads by-and-by. and should "make
application to the United States or any
other Western power for facilities To

Mr.. AsTwooD, the United States Consul
at San Domingo since 1889, though col
ored man and somewhat of an offensive
partisan, is not likely to be disturbed. He
is said to have been an efficient officer, and
so far as can be learned, there's nobody
SO hungry for the place, as to make his re-
moval an issue with the Administration.

GRAND.MAsTER WORKMAN Pow.
DERBY still holds that the present
agitation to secure eight hours as Il
day S work is ill.advsed aud ill.tim,d.
He Is in favor Of reducing the hours of
labor, but says that the subject has
never been thoroughly and intelligeutly
discussed, and is, therefore, not
properly understood. Hasty action,
he holds, will go far toward delaying
the permanent attainment of the end
desired. He also again protests
strongly that the knights Of Labor
have nothing to do with politics But
the politicians cannot see 1t in that
light. In New York politician who
has desire to run for the Governor
ship says that IL he does not favor the
eight-hour movement he will be cleft. /"
That's exactly 1t. There is very little
in this country of which politics is not
an element. 1t figures in every public
question in and out of Congress, and
accounts in great measure for the
weakness, ineillciency or utter failure
of legislation.

ARaseIess Sensation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Notwithstand-
ing the repeated denials of the story OF the
flooding of Chicago with cOunterteitS OF the
new $40 silver certificate, the bureau of en-
craving and printing is in daily receipt OF
evidences that the story is still widely clr-
culated and credited. E. q. Graves,
the chief of the bureau, stated to-day that
there is not a particle of evidence of the
existence of such a counterfeit and author
lied the most emphatic contradiction of
the statement. The city of Chicago has
been searched for days by the operatives OF
the secret service. who report that no trace
of the existence of single counterfeit OF
the kind described can be found. Mr..
Graves says it is impossible that such a
counterfeit should be in circulation in Chi
cago or elsewhere without the knowledge
of the treasurer, the chief of the secret
service. or the chief of the engraving
bureau, all of whom deny the story most
positively.
