TIFF TERRIBLE CHINESE.

The account of the perils to which Indi-
jected shows what desperate, dangerous Great
ures the slant-eyed heather are, and fully
confirms certain reports of them which have
come from the Pacific coast from time to time
The wild and angry mob, as the letters relate,
surged up to the residence of the missionaries
and demanded admittance. This being re-
fused they recklessly dashed against the gate
and burst it open; then they began to throw
stones at the house, soaring the inmates
thereby nearly out of their senses
The door not being opened in response to
these knocks, the enraged heather piled hay
In front of the entrance and threatened to
smoke the missionaries out. The man of the
house had, in the meantime, gone down town
to get the police; but being delayed, it was
thought best by the family to leave the prem
Uses. Accordingly, the ladies and servants
took their departure from side door, which
had not been disturbed, perhaps, because the
heather were too polite to come prying
around into the back yard without leave.
With great bravery one of the ladies ordered
the crowd to go right away that minute, and
not to dare to touch them, and the mob, des-
perate as it was seems to have been intimi-
dated by this remark, because, while part of
it did follow the family and shustled" the
good people some, it did not injure them in
any way. One wicked heather did, it is true,
try to snatch the account book which one of
the ladies held in her hand, but was foiled in
the attempt, and no serious harm was done.
Left to themselves, after the missionaries had
walked away, the mob, with disregard of the
rights of white people, which shows at
once once the vile character of
this uncivilized race ransacked the premises,
and after carrying away such valuables
as pleased their fancy, set fire to the house.
The conduct of these uncultured heather
cannot be too severely condemned. Their
behavior is in great contrast with the polite
and considerate mobs of the Pacific coast,
which, when they want to get rid of the soci
ETY. Of Cinnamon, commit no rudeness like
that of breaking down front gates or stoning
the roofs, but speedily eliminate the
undes;red foreigners by firing dynamite
under their dwellings, or popping them over
with the ready revolver, as they are smoked
out The heather in China have, perhaps,
heard that their brethren in this country have
been the recipients Of social attentions from
the natives of Christian land, but they have
not yet learned the etiquette observed on such
occasions Until they do, it cannot be said
that the methods of Chinese mob are at all
worthy of being compared with those custom
airy in this country. Indeed, until the heather
take some lessons in the accepted way Of car
rying on such affairs in civilized lands, an
American and Chinese mob should not be
named in the same day.

about her was not disrespectful, and was only
people in the wife of their chief magistrate.
In so looking at it, she shows better judgment
than too-fastidious Critics"
AS to editorial bushes not much can be
said, but if any editor has blushed since the
wedding began to be talked about, it was that
the public TO whom he catered found pleasure
in and demanded such excessive quantities of
such weak mental pabulum. The Critic ad-
vances the opinion that few people read all
the rubbish, but it has evidently taken no
pains to investigate the matter by inquiring
of newsdealers and publishers, and being con-
fronted by the reports of largely increased
sales. Even the Springfield Republican,
which claims to be truly immaculate sheet
declares that mot every one reads the reports
of what Congress may do or leave undone, but
men, women and children are moved by
common desire to learn all about wedding in
which they are in any way interested. The
newspapers understand this very we'll. Thus
it has come about that wedding at the White
House has absorbed the people as scarcely any
other event connected with the President
could do" The real moral of the affair is that
the public cares more for personal gossip than
for pure literature, or science, or politics. 1t
is a lesson very painful, Of course, to the few
who walk on higher plane, but the only
thing they can do is to submit and hope for
the dawn of day when there will be no news
in the newspapers.

THE oLEVELAND-POLSOM ROT.

The New York Critic turns its attention

Mr.. Jones and the Evolutionists.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal
What Mr.. Jones says to an audience of Ave
thousand people, made up largely of young men
and young women whose minds are still in the
formative state. is matter of Importance to all
interested in the mental and moral outcome Of
our times The sermon Of Thursday night was
powerful appeal to slumbering conscience, de-
cent and dgnfed, as we wish all mems lam
guage might at all times be- There was no slang
or abuse in it. This was the sermon which con-
victed and was the means of conversion of Mr..
Small, who certainly has the appearance and
language of man of sense and culture; was
a word of it above the mental grasp of a child.
The wayfaring man, though fool. need not err
in understanding such sermons, and he who
may read.
There is no need for Mr. Jones to hurt the
feelings of any class by his language or to al
tack any class of thinkers or sect of believers.

as one of Gods ways OF creation as thin
skinned as the Baptisss, they have ground to ODE

The fact is stated by Mr.. Cope that the evolu.

supply to society inducements before action,
rather than pains and penalties after action.
They strive TO originate good conduct rather
than to punish bad conduct, and so are working
on the originative force in development, rather

1t is my profound conviction that the
only euro for the sick minds and the sick
bodies of us is a return to nature. All
the sturdy virtues ring out Of the soil.
Abolition of land monopoly; cheap half
acre and one and two acre lots in the
suburbs; efficient train service to and
from the city center; cheap homes, and
horticulture round about them; and
cheap farms clustered around the suburbs
and as easy of access from the city as they
in these things lie the hope Of the
nations of the world and not in schools
and libraries and good government alone.
Horticulture, forest culture, agriculture,
stock raising, bee keeping lead to intimate
acquaintance with nature; knowledge OF
nature brings a robuster literature and

Of women; and manly men and womanly
