LIFE IN NORTH CHINA.
The Crooked Per H0 River and Its Heavily

The Crooked Per Ho River and Its Heavily
Armed Mud Forts. 10 '''
Nearly two months have passed since
our arrival at this place--a city of
many hundred thousand inhabitants
on the Per Ho river, fifty miles from
it's mouth. This stream is one of the
crookedest in the world many of its
turns being so abrupt that it requires
skill to navigate it. At the entrance
of the river is an immense mud bank.
which can only be crossed at high tide
by vessels of light draft, so when a
steamer arrives she must anchor and
be lightered to about ten feet, when it
it is possible to cross the bar, which is
three or four miles wide. The Chinese
Government will not allow this natural
barrier to be cut away, as it most
effectually prevents foreign gunboats
from entering the river, while on both
sides are mud forts called the Takee
forts, heavily mounted with artillery.
About halfway up the Tientsin is an
other of these forts, which is the largest
of its kind in the world and the best.
So say engineerin gexperts. At Tient-
sin there are two forts, an arsenal
and two powder mills. English army
officers are employed by the Govern
ment to drill native soldiers in the arts
af modern war. .ei ,.. .,.
Ihave not as yet explored the coun-
try about here very much.
It is vast plain, scarcely above sea
level. just west of us is vast grave
yard flooded with water. The plats of
ground are walled around with mud.
The coffins are made of heavy plank.
and rest on the top of the ground. The
head of the family occupies the most
prominent part of the plats, and when
ever new occupant is added an ad-
ditional pile of earth is heaped upon
this grave till the family lot looks some-
thing like small haystack. Sons
build these mounds above the water
line. and they are carefully kept, but
in some cases the cofiins are exposed to
view, and others covered with water
and mud. tNa
Tientsin is the home of tho Viceroy
Lii Hung Chang, one of the most liberal
and progressive of Chinese officials.
He is having his sons taught English
by an American. and is interested in
the building Of military college al
this place. h"''H Hr M o'
His edicts are characteristic Of this
sort of government. When about to
start for his winter homo he issues an
order that for six days no one can
travel over any part Of the road con-
Meeting his summer and winter palaces.
His retinue consists of his official staff.
q company Of soldiers, his family serv-
ants, a caravan of 100 carts to carry his
baggage and his private equipage. The
passenger vehicles are drawn by horses
or mules. These carriages are cloth
covered and have some appearance Of

are primitive sort OF affair with shafts.

The old cry that missouri has
Jagged behind other States is re-
newed as the Republicans open their
State campaign. 1t is q pernicious
and unwarrantable falsehood, but if it
had any color of truth in it it
would be solely because of the ante
diluvian ideas of the Republican party
in Missouri. We are fully aware that
there are able and intelligent Repub-
licans in the State, but, nevertheless,
as far as Missouri is concerned, Re.
publicanism means barbarism. In the
Republican strongholds it even now
requires the utmost efforts of Demo-
cratic officials to prevent homcsteaders
and settlers from being cowhided and
driven away with the shotgun or mur-
dered. Tho Republican Bald-Knob-
bers of Missouri belong to the cave-
dwelling period, and they are as anom-
alous in she Democratic civilization
of the State rs the woolly mammoth or
the cave bear would be among its do
mestic animals. We are tired of these
stale and Improbable Republican
slanders on the State. and we are pre-
pared to show, If necessary. just whist
sort OF an animal the hint-lock,
smooth-bore, moss-back, cave-dwell-
ing Republican of Missouri is. As he
will be numerously represented in the

Coatemptueus Filings at the Chief Glory

The Democratic party can ask Moth
ing bester than general adoption by
Republicans of the tactics in favor
with ingalls,, Dolliver, Foraker and
other orators or the opposition. When
these men sneer at the humble origin
of Grover Cleveland they cast reproach
upon the chief glory of American cit
izenship. Had his beginnings been
more obscure than they were there
would have been nothing in the fact
on which to base tho contemptuous
filings now SO popular in some circles.
The American roll of honor is q long
one, but it contains the names of few
men who at birth were not poor and
apparently not in the line of fame or
greatness. .. tIt.,.
AS matter of fact. however, Grover
Cleveland was respectfully born. He
was reared In an honest. industrious
and intelligent American family. He
came on to manhood as hundreds of
thousands of Americans have done, and
went about his life work decently and
quietly. When called to public place
he discharged his duties with fidelity,
and nothing in his career is more cred
table to himself and to the American
system than the fact that his promo
tioa was so rapid as TO excite the
wrath Of lifelong postulants for place
and pelf.

The most effectual way to blot
out the bitterness of the past is for the
people of the two sections to come into
daily contact with each other. When
they do this they see that neither are
half so bad as they are painted. Such
has been the experience in New York
and in the Southern cities where num-
bers of Northerners swell the popula-
ton. Northerners are given warm
welcome in the South and Southerners
are made to feel at home in the North.
Sectional feeling at this time is hardly
worth mentioning. Only few poll

embers into flame. Ne.Cs.

Senator Hale Blaine's little bub,"
as Hon. s. S. Cox once dubbed him
has gotten up q committee OF the
United States Senate to inquire into
alleged violations Of the Civil-Service
rules by United States office-holders.
This committee is to go a-fishing for

lcans were in power in the Executive

Of the Republican party, Senator Hale
sat quiet in his seat and If any Demo-
cratic Senator opened his lips to pro.
test he was the first to pooh-pooh and
ridicule the idea that the il-Service
rules had been infringed. But it is
different now. Senator Hale imagines
that his OK is gored. and he is deter
mined to defend and protect his OK.
Well, let the little buncombe-
monger crack his whip. He will prob
ably get more than he bargains for.
The sore-headed fellows who have lost
their offices and nre his informants will
appear to poor advantage in most
cases when they are subjected to rigid
ross-examination. They will proba-
bly, have their memories refreshed as
to what occurred in the way of viola
ton of the Civil-Service rules when
they were in Office under Republican
Administration. Their own incapaoity
and shortcomings in many instances
will be exposed. Their activity as par
| tisans will be recalled to the recollec-
tion of the public. The assessments
that were levied upon them by Repub-
lican committees will be called to
mind. Even Senator Hale's own cam
| paigns for Congress may get an over
hauling. Meanwhile Democratic Off
cials will be able to show that Repub-
lican subordinates have been retained
in office to generous degree and that
the Republican rule of political ostra-
cism has not been followed as rigidly
as fair retaliation would have re-
quired.

In Spanish Honduras the dish of
