THE CHINESE authorities at Chin
Kiang have acted in the matter of the
recent mobbing Of the American mis-
sionaries with promptness that should
shame this country. The missionaries,
it will be remembered, were mobbed in
January last by their Chinese neigh
bors, who were melted to action by the
false charges of contractors who had
built school and other houses for them
that they had not been paid in full.
The buildings were wrecked and the
propagators of the Gospel were physi-
cally maltreated. Rear. Admiral John
Lee Davis, commanding the United
States fleet on that station, reports that
the authorities, on investigation, found
that the contractors had been paid in
full, upon which the said contractors
and the others implicated in the out
RACES, were sentenced ''to undergo ten
days of the canque' and to receive one
-Sundred blows" in addition to the
punishment they had already received.
We don't know what the "canque" is,
but it sounds awful--something like
"boiling oip-but the prompt action of
these alleged heather in redressing the
outrages is good example to be fol-
lowed by our own alleged Christian
authorities.

UNHAPPY MEXICO.

Once again the hand of the Mexican
revolutionist is raised against the peace
OF that unhappy nation, and before it
can be stayed hundreds of innocent lives
will be sacrificed, and men who have
ventured within Mexican territory to de-
velop her resources will be driven from
the country and lose their all in the clash
between the Government and the people,
and have no redress for their grievances.
The somewhat shaky policy Of Secretary
Bayard in the Cutting affair was like to
have brought on war with that country,
and if it had done SO it would have been
the greatest blessing that could befall
it. The people of Mexico, outside
of the leading wealthy class, are
just as much slaves to that class
now as when they gave allegiance
to Spain, and in all the years since the
withdrawal of that allegiance, they have
not developed the ability for self-govern-
ment which is the leading essential
among all newborn nations. Through
out the west and south of Mexico, the
common people. are but little removed
from the condition of the Indian peon,
and know no master but he who gives
them bread, and at his bidding they are
ready to assemble and commit any act of
violence known to criminal history, and
especially against those who speak for
eign tongue. The constant repetition of
these outbreaks has served to keep
men away from that country who other
wise would 60 there, and by bringing
wealth from her mines, produce the
means for educating and enlightening
the ignorant people, and thus pave the
way for a stable government. 1t is not
likely, while Mexico is ruled as she now
is, that any great change can ever come,
but through federation with the States
lying south of her, she may obtain an
element OF strength which would enable
her to control her unruly people and
invite immigration by offering protection
to person and property, of all who would
risk going there. Patriotism with them
is but another name for selfshness, and
until they can be brought to see that they
can never advance in the march of
nations without outside help, the Mexi
can people and government will ever be

mercial decay

is wonder that sane men will
try to transport such internal misery
to this country, and seek to drag down a
happy and prosperous people to the level
Of the old country paupers. 1t is true
that the German element of our popula-
ton is composed of the best people in the
land, but the few black sheep who
crowded in from that wholesale poor
house which is the home of boasted Ger
man royalty, have done more harm to
the peace and prosperity Of their coun-
trymen than a repetition OF the plague
could do. If our dissatisfied population
could be furnished daily with true pic
ture Of the want and misery existing in
these boasted mother-countries, they
would soon learn to thank God for the
blessings they possess, and turn upon all
who would SOW discord among the un-
fortunate Of our people and drive them
out, to be outcasts from the body
polite, as they deserve.

INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE.

Yesterdays international yacht race
marks a new departure in maritime af-
fairs in this country, and will serve to
stimulate the dormant talent OF our de-
signers and builders of shipping, and in
effect, place our merchant marine again
on an honorable level, compared with the
great ascendancy held in such matters
since the war, by European nations. If
we have men who can design the feetest
craft the world ever saw, for pleasure
purposes, We also have men who can do
the same thing for commercial purposes,
and now that the thousands of idle steam
ships lining the docks and quays of the
old world have proven their inability to
run and pay interest on the money in
vested in their construction, the sailing
ships will again come to the front for
favor, and America can distance all COM
petitors in building and equipping, not to
mention handling such craft. In justice
to the gallant man, who yesterday meas
ured swords with Americas feetest boat,
it should be borne in mind that his vessel
differs radically from the American yacht,
and was not built to overcome similar
resistances. Yachting in English waters,
and on the Atlantic coast of the United
States, is very different in its require
ments in the respective models which
raced yesterday, for the reason that when
a yacht or any other vessel leaves the
bounds OF British harbor, she is at once
at sea in all that goes to make that term
among nautical men. Whether in the
English or Irish Channels, or the North
Sea, the English yacht meets deep water
at once, and the heaviest of seas, requir-
ing in her good grip OF the water to hold
weather gauge with competitor, and
never is equipped with the American ad-
junct OF Il center-b board, being deep
enough in draught, and having keel
enough to cleave the water, on wind,
and make no leeway. On the American
coast, the conditions differ, as the water,
at all times other than when exceedingly
heavy storms are blowing, is smooth and
subject TO a long, even ground-swell,
maintaining a smooth and even surface,
rufiled only with such white-caps as a
stiff breeze raises in Salt Lake, and there
fore, admitting of boats Of light draght,
but great beam or width, holding course
with the aid OF center-board, just as
4 vessel could with twice the draught OF
wat er. The Galatea draws much more
water than the Mayhower, although
their displacements are equal, and for
this reason, in Yesterdays light winds,
the American had the advantage. The
Britisher acknowledged his defeat man.
fully, and by that act gained thousands
OF friends among those who backed the
winning boat The sport is healthful
and elevating in its effects, and brings to
the front a certain nautical pride, which |
cannot have but good results for both
countries. Should the Galatea be sue
cessful in her next trial, which takes
place tomorrow, Lieutenant HEM will
find Americans to cheer him and his
lovely wife just as heartily as they yes
terday cheered the owner of the Nav

THE FATHERLAND.

While the people of this happy anc
prosperous nation are lamenting the
hard times" which exist only in dis
eased imaginations, mostly the property
of some local Micawber, the following
glance at everyday life in Berlin should
serve to make them content with their
lot, enter the battle of life with renewed
courage, and carve out future for them
selves and their dependents, throwing
idle pinings to the dogs, and consoling
themselves with the thought that others
are more to be pitied than they. A cor
respondent OF the New York .Sua writing
from Berlin, says;
''Out of population of 100000 in Ber-
lin, more than 10000 are receiving public
charity. Many of the workingmen here
openly favor community of wives Divorces
have increased to Is per cent. of the mar
riages solemnized. The attendance at the
churches has decreased to per cent. of the
adult population, and of $4,000 funerals
last year, nearly 30, 900 were performed with
out any religious ceremonies whatever"
Women flock by thousands to the oity
to obtain employment, and, failing to get
what they want, large numbers fall and are
lost This evil has become so great that
strenuous efforts are being made to avoid it.
The law of consent has already been raised In
IN a similar way as was done in New York and
England. By such legislative enactment some
sort of protection is extended to oirls mn TO
the age of lS. Lodging houses and benevo-
lent institutions have been established to aid
working women, and society of ladies has
been formed charged with protecting, sus
tanning and counseling women up to the age
of 35.r ''O

And yet many men who were born and
nurtured amid such scenes, come TO
this land of liberty and happiness and
straightway seek to incite rebellion
