CHINA, it is rumored, is about to ex-
ert sufficient pressure on American cit
liens doing business in it's domain to
compel the United States government
to pay $4,000 damages for the out
RACES inflicted upon citizens of China
by lawless individuals on the Pacific
coast about seven months ago. A bill
granting this amount of indemnity
passed the Senate in the late session of
Congress, but it failed to 60 through
the House. China, to add moral force
to it's demand, has, so the report goes,
purchased 100000 stand of arms
from England, the intention being to
submit an ultimatum to the United
States, the Celestials believing such a
demand would have powerful effect
just now because of the threatened
rupture of the relations between this
country and Mexico. AS the particu-
lar acts of deviltry for which the
$4,000 is designed as compensation
were committed in Wyoming, a terri
tory, the government is directly re-
sponsible for them.

WITHIN a few days there will be in
force between the United States and
Japan q treaty of extradition more
comprehensive and satisfactory than
any which we have negotiated with
European powers. We shall then be
able to reclaim from Japan any de-
faulter or embezzler who may seek
shelter there, but our next-door neigh
Dor on the north will still offer safe
asylum to all of our thieving cashiers
and defaulting treasurers who can
avoid the police at home and pay for
railroad tickets that will carry them
across the line. The treaty with Ja-
pan is q model of it's kind, and it's rat
ifcation should lead to a revision of
our detective treaties of extradition
with the powers of Europe. 1t is the
first extradition treaty negotiated
with an Oriental nation, and it's &C.
ceptance marks the formal entrance of
Japan into the field of international
comfy upon equal terms with the
most enlightened nations.

Might be Tried for q Change.

LFrom the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph
There is one plan, one solution of
the sO-called Southern question, that
has never been tried. At the present
it seems to be the best in sight: Let
the negro alone. If he were the best
of farmers and the most valuable of
citizens he would be in fair way to
be spoiled by being made the shuttle
cock of politics and the pet of every
crank with O. theory. The negro is
doing very well; is doing just as we'll
as could be expected under the circum-
stances. Leave him to the same laws
that govern all, to the same human
tiles that obtain all over the land. In
his worst moods he is not an Anar-
chist or a bomb thrower; in his LATEST
hours, speaking of him as O. race, he
does not threaten law and order, and
consequently society. If the day
comes when he must be colonized else
where, let us first look to his successor.
just at present we do not see where a
better laborer is to be had. Bad as
many people may think the Southern
situation, it may be made far worse.
With a. population like that which
makes life unsafe in Chicago, the South
might quickly and gladly reimport it's
banished negroes.

Deeds OF Blood

Ernest Schmiedicke, aged 35, living at
Grand Rapids, Mich, took his own life on
the night of the 9th, in the presence of his
family, by drinking the contents of an ounce
bottle OF carbolic acid. Schmiedicke was a
handwriting man, employed as book
keeper. He was very popular, but was
given to protracted sprees, after which he
frequently threatened TO take his own life.
For two or three weeks he had been on a
spree, and WAS SOLDERING up at the time he
committed the rash act.

THE suicide, near Boston, of William
Gray, defaulting treasurer of the At
lantic and Indian Orchard Mills, was
the tragic ending of life which not
long ago seemed to have gained the
ripened fruits Of success. He was a
graduate of Harvard, man of refined
tastes, of liberal views, and possessed
that personal magnetism which drew
to him many warm and loyal friends.
He had q wife and children, and his
habits seemed above reproach. It
would seem as though this lesson and
so many like it Of recent occurrence
should serve to check the feverish de-
sire for speculation which has become
almost national disease. Political
ambitions, financial schemes, domes-
tic happiness, life itself, may be
wrecked by specializing in countless
cases, and still the scramble for sud
den wealth in the community at large
is as strong and destructive as ever.

NEWSPAPERS which make a speciality
of war history have aggravated the
surviving participants in the battle oil
Gettysburg to a rather hot contro'
versy. 1t has been demonstrated
already that some of the people con-
spicuous in that famous clash of arms
must have been dreadfully mis-
taken. These disputes are unfortun.
ate. When it is found that such dis
tinguished commanders as Meade and
Sickles have differed so radically about
matters of fact, the reader is gradually
overcome by doubt of the authenticity
of any of the usually accepted histories
of the civil war.

THE IRISH QUESTION.
Remarks by G1adsto on the Policy of tn
New Ministry.


LONDON, Aug. 28.-Mr. Gladstone's
pamphlet on the Irish question ends with a
postscript, dated the Z2d Of August, and
which is as follows:
Since these pages were written the principal
intentions of the ministers in respect to Ireland
have been announced The statesmen who in
January deemed coercive measures an absolute
necessity do not now propose them, although
agrarian crime has rather increased and Ireland
has been perturbed (they said) by the proposal OF
Home Rule. This is q heavy blow to coercion
and a marked sign of progress. am concerned
to ray that on no other head do the announce
ments supply any me asures for congratulation:
/. Large Irish subjects, ripe for treatment
are to be referred to no missions of inquiry This
Is policy (while social order is in question: of
almost indefinite delay.
2. Moreover, while commission is to insure
whether the rates of judicial rents are or are not
such as can be paid the aid OF the law for
leyyjng the present rents in November has been
specially and emphatically promised. This is a
ged encouragement to remi:sions of rent and
a powerful stimulus to evictions.
3. project has been sk etched OF imposing up
on the state the payment of all moneys required
to meet the difference between these actual rents
and what the land can fairly bear. The project
is in principle radically bad and it would do an
act of rapine on the treasury of the country.
4. Whereas the greatest evil OF Ireland is that
Its magisterial and administrative systems are
felt to be other than Irish, no proposal is made
for the reconstruction of what is known as the
Dublin Castle Government.
5. II is proposed to spend large sums of public
money on public works of all kinds for the ma
terial development of Ireland under English au-
thority end Dublin Castle administration. This
plan is ~ in the highest degree wasteful, (2 it Is
unjust to the British taxpayer, and (3 it Is an OBJ
vius attempt 10 overt the Irish nation by Pc
cnniary indueement from its honorable aim of
National self government and will such be re-
scented.
The limitation of local government in Ire
land to what may at this moment be desired for
Great Britain is just to none of nationalities
rests upon no res ognfzed principle. and is espe-
cially an unjust limitation of the Irish national
desire. In my opinion. such policy for dealing
with the irish question ought not to be ind can
not be adopted.

Horrible Fate of 8 Catholic Sister at

CINCINNATI, o., Aug. 27.-Sister Eu-

a shocking death this morning. She
was nearly convalescent from an at
tack of typhoid fever, and about 4
O'Clock was trying to take some medi-

her fright could not find the key. Oc-

THIS government, it has now been
learned, has another grievance against
Mexico. Cinnamon have for months
back, if not for years, been making the
latter country a sort of base of opera
tions for an industrial and social inva-
sion of this country, the Mexican au-
thorities conniving in some cases at
this violation of the United States law
prohibiting Chinese immigration. The
Celestials apparently do not find it
very difficult to elude the few customs
guards along our long frontier line on
the Rio Grande. This is not case,
however, in which Mexico can be called
to account.
