A RuMoR comes from China which
ought to make our Congressman feel un-
comfortable. 1t is 10 the effect that the
Chinese Government is going to bring a
pressure to bear upon the citizens Of the
United States residing in that country, in
order to compel the payment of the in
demnity claimed for the murder Of the
Chinese in Wyoming Territory. OF
course it will be very unjust to Cypress
Innocent American citizens in China for
the acts Of a mob in America and the me-
glect of n branch of Congress to make
re paration for 1t; but 1t is about what
might be expected Of q scmi.civilized
power; and until the oppression reaches
the height of letting them be slaughtered
by a mob, they will not be treated as
badly as the subjects Of China have been
treated here. 4

EVERY Democratic Convention recently
held has endorsed President Cleveland's
Administration In general terms; yet not
n OF them has endorsed any particular
measure or policy Of his Administration.
The Democratic platforms will be search.
ed in vain for an explicit approval Of a
single specific act or position. 1t Is GER
tainly a very curious and suggestive
spectacle that a party In control Of the
Government can not point TO any measure
or policy on the part Of Its National Ad-
ministration which 1t is willing to en-.
dorse. Such a fact would ordinarily
signify that the Administration itself Is
empty or that the party Is all wrong.

THE official returns from the late State
election are complete and in possession
OF the Secretary Of State. The Demo.
cratic candidates for Supreme Judges

84,429. The vote was as follows: Tur.
ney, 1866, $50; Caldwell. 1877, 39s; Snod.
grass, 1865, O70; Folkes, 1877, 4O5; Lurton,
157, SOB; from which 1t will be seen that
Lurton led on the ticket, with Snodgrass
last. and that the difference between
them was 1888 votes. The Republican
ticket ran thus: Baxter. 1923, 0s4; Ran.
dolph, 122,481; Warder, 1872, 41O; Murray,
122,2 74; Watson, 1927. Baxter led,
with Watson last, and the difference be-

THE oleomargarine tax law isa good
deal of a white elephant on the hands Of
the administration. The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, being in the dark as
to how to begin to enforce 1t, sent out
circulars asking the district collectors for
information and suggestions, just as the
district collectors were about to write and
ask him for the same thing. The pros
poets that the act will be strictly enforced
are not fattering; but somehow the ques-
ton OF enforcement did not come up
when they were debating the question Of
passing the law In question.

is that the Governor is to be promoted to

may be confidently expected.

White Men DISCRIMINATING the Whales on

1.-The most northern inhabitants of

States are rapidly dying of their pri-

who spent twenty-seven months with
Lieutenant Ray at Point Barrow.
''Their sufferings deserve all the more
sympathy because the whites are re-
sponsible for the great diminution in
their food supply.
..These natives around Point Barrow
now number about four hundred souls.
Whales and seals are their staple articles
of food. The supply used to be album
dant. and the natives hardly knew what
hunger was. For twenty years past,
however. the coast off Point Barrow has
been favorite resort of American
whalers. They have caught great num-
bers of whales there, and have almost
exterminated them in those waters.

years that it was getting Improbable to

other game obtained in the summer
months. The failure of their food sup
ply is possibility that constantly con-
fronts them. Every now and then they
are pinchcd for food, and this new hard
ship, added to the others they already
endured, are killing them fast. The
population of the four villages around
Point Barrow has decreased about one

GRANTING WOOD.
An accomplishment Which May BE Ac.
quircd by Most Persons.

An Accomplishment Which May BE Ac.
quired by Most Persons.
A person must have considerable
practical experience in granting wood
before he can do real nice, artistic job,
though almost any natural genius may,
after little practice, do very fair work.
Some Of the prettiest bits of granting
ever saw were done by a cute little chap
who made his combs out of seasoned
hickory. But this was an exceptional
case. To do nice work person should
have an outfit of the steel combs which
are made for the purpose. They come
in different siZes-cOarse to fine Fair
work can be done with twO-metlium
coarse and medium fine. They can be
obtained from almost any dealer in
paints and brushes. The surface to. be
grained is first covered with a body coat
of white lead and oil, to which is added
little turpentine. If the surface is al
ready covered with paint, one good coat
of body paint will be sufficient. If it is.
naked wood, put on two coats, allowing
the first to dry before applying the
second.
The color paint comes in cans al
ready mixed. If door is to be grained,
acrly the color to the upper half FIRST,
thcn grain it, if dry enough. before
painting the lower half. This is one
of the main points to be learned by ex-
perience. If grained before it is dry
enough, the color will run and spoil the
grain. If allowed to dry too much it
can not be grained. To grain, hold the
comb at an angle of, say forty-five de
grses, and draw it rather slowly along
the board, giving it the little turns seen
in the natural wood. Have = piece of
flannel in the other hand and Wipe of
the comb often enough to prevent clog
ging or blurring. Continue the process
on the lower half of the door.
Let the beginner get Il piece Of oak
board with nice natural grain in it for
a pattern. If it has knot or two and a
few curls in it, so much the better.
Plane it smooth so that the grain can be
seen readily, then keep it by him for
reference. Practice on piece of board
and learn how to hold the combs so as
to grain coarse or fine. curl about a
knot, make cut grains, side grains, etc,
etc. before Undertaking any permanent
work. Grainisg in imitation of cherry,
mahogany and other woods is done IL
using propsrly-colo<eib body paint, and
the appropriate over color. After graD-
ing is Thoroughly dried it should be Ssr-
