THERE Is nothing in which "the heather
Chince' IS more decidedly peculiar than
in diplomacy, In this he could, if he chose,
give points to any other nationality, In
the very trying situation in which the
Chinese legation at Washington has been
placed 10y recent events on the Pacific slope,
it will be found that the interests Of China,
present and prospective, have been cared
for with cousummatc tact

Tie stoteOf Virginia has one Democratic
newspaper that darcs to utter truths which
crate harshly on bourbon ears The Peters
burg Ldrr- lpyrR has u habit of speaking
out In meeting" occasionally with the
frankncss Of absolute sincerity. The fact
that thc city Of Petersburg Is dominated by
the Republican party, which in that muui-
cipalily includes more than the average
number Of influential white citizens as
compared with the state at large, may or
may not have something to do with the eN
ccrtioual caudor Of this excellent news
paper As rule the character Of com.
munity fixes the character Of It's newspapers.
The publication Of a paper Is a business en-
terprisc. II Il paper manages to get itself
generally dislkcd by the people who are
expected TO furnish its support it usually
turns H. face to the wall and dies. There
fore It is fair to conclude that the bold
frankucss or frank boldness Of the Tddct-
IpP'U is due as much to its intelligent Re
publican surroundings US TO the conceded
manlness of It's editor.
The failure of home rule in the principal
city Of the state Of Mississippi-the state
where the majority has been suppressed by
bloody violence and every species Of in.
tmidation and fraud the theme of q
recent discourse in our Petersburg con.
temporary. The editor states that, lat the
end Of the era Of reconstruction, Nicksburg
found itself with a ruined trade, a shifting
and unreliable river front. and q majority
Of negro voters. 1t had also large
hoOdlum element, legacy from times be-
fore the war Gradually the negro vote
was broken UP, by processes partly honor
able to all concerned and party discre1it-
able, and to be- dCICudcd oWy by those rio
feet That ucrca2i,y kBors no itr. The negro
has not foryoars been q controlling element
in the election of local officers in Nicl,sburg"
Having gotten rid Of the negro, one would
naturally suppose, from the claims usully
put forth by the hourbons, that there was
an end to all their inrcicities. The proud
Caucasians of that enterprising city had
| murdered black men and committed almost
every other crime to the end that they might
rule wisely and we'll But there appears to
have been a disappointment, hitch in the
programme. After showing how the ne.
gro was gotten out Of the way, the hl,lsr-
.ig'ol, getting It's facts direct from Vicks-
burg, goes on to remark, in quiet way,
that
