A CHINESE EARTHQUAKE
Over $1,000 Persons Killed and
Whole Villages Reduced to


Whole Villages Reduced to
Ruins.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O.-The
Hong Kong Mail, copies Of which were
received here by last nights China
steamer, gives a description of the
earthquake in the province Of Yunnau
Dec. Is, and is indicative of fright
full mortality. The Mail says: SIN the
interior department OF Ching Chau the
disturbances were extremely violent,
being continued at irregular intervals
for four days, when they ceased entire
ly. The departmental city is said to have
been reduced to mass of ruins, scarcely
a house escaping damage, and over
5000 persons are reported to have been
killed by falling buildings. Many of
them were buried under the ruins,
while the number of injured is too large
for computation. Yamen was destroyed,
the magistrate escaping with slight in
jury. At the prefectural city of LamOn
the effects of the earthquake were
scarcely less disastrous. At this place,
when the shock was being felt, an
enormous chaSm opened i'll the earth
and water was thrown out from it's
depths. At Lo Chau, in Chuen, strik-
ing change has been caused in the APP
pearance of the country, large tracts of
land being swallowed up and the sur
face changed into lake. In Lo Chau
more than 10,0O0 persons are said to have

THE HALF HOLIDAY.

st. Paul business men have never
been found lacking when it came to a
question of liberality, and in no better
way could they demonstrate their pos
session of that admirable quality than in
granting, as they have done, a half holt
day to their employees once week dur
ing the summer season.
The criticism has been aptly made
that Americans as nation do not play
enough. They devote about all of their
waking moments and their entire en-
ergy to work, without pause for relaXa-
ton or recuperation. They run the
machine at high pressure all the time,
and though startled by an occasional
breaking down, are not warned by it.
The criticism is particularly true of the
West, where, unless man is all en-
ergetic and tireless ''hustler,' he is apt
| to be set down as drone.
Of course no one cares to see pre-
MUM placed upon idleness, but blind
and reckless expenditure of vital force
is equally bad. The pauses for rest
should come at more frequent intervals
| if the best possible work is to be per-
1Oitllcu. Liz question: vi uOlludNS Has
therefore its polite as well as its philan-
thropic bearing.
No matter in which sense the whole
sale men of st. Paul view it, they are to
be commended for their determination
to give the theory of periodical recuper-
alton practical application. That the
result will be beneficial to both employ
ers and employed experience has amply
demonstrated. The movement, there
fore, should not be confined exclusively
to the wholesale men. 1t should extend
to all other business men as well, if the
best results are to be attained.
Let the employees of all kinds, except
where business is vitally necessary,
have the Saturday afternoons through
the summer to themselves, and there
will be small likelihood that the bust
ness interests of the city will suffer or
its people be put to serious inconven-

FOR FREE WOOL.

Congressman RUSSELL, of Massa-
chussetts, is one of the largest wool
growers in New England. He is also a
very ardent advocate of tariff reform.
Therefore, when Congressman Rus
SELL spoke in the house the other day
and declared from his knowledge as an
expert that the wool interests of the
country would be benefited by placing
wool on the flee list, he created some
thing Of sensation and also consterna-
ton in the ranks of the congressional
! protectioniSts.
In this matter of the tariff on wool it
too frequently happens that wool grow
erS jump at conclusions. Without
stopping to examine into the matter OF
to reason about it, they fancy that the
| placing of wool Oh the free list would
result in competition that could not
fail to lower the price of the product:
hence, those who are not well informed
on the subject oppose tariff reduction
i'll that direction, even if they favor it
| in others.
Congressman RUSSELL admirably
| points out the fallacy involved in their
pOollioli. l1S SiiONS llldu WOOL pEOuuC-
| ing and wool manufacturing are in
| separately connected; that when one
| languisheS the other must suffer, and
that when one fiouriShes the other must
necessarily prosper. He shows that not
only is wool not an export product, but
that the quantity of it produced in this
| country is insufficient to meet the de-
| mands of the manufacturers; that in
| consequence the manufactures are de-
| creasing. and but poor market exists
for the wool that is produced. He points
| out on the contrary, that with wool
| free, the manufacturers would be en-
abled to obtain an adequate supply, the
home demand would be stimulated, and
prices would accordingly be raised, in
asmuch as the manufacturers would be
enabled to increase their productive
capacity.
| Of course this kind of reasoning
does not suit the protectionists at all,
but it is very interesting to the wool
| grower whose reasoning faculties have
been dulled by their specious argu-
ments, and he will do well to ponder
| over it,

BRAZILIAN EMANCIPATION

The empire of Brazil has been fortu-
nate in eXtinguishing the Institution of
slavery by peaceful methods and with
out disturbing the business condition of
the empire. When Brazil adopted the
plan of compensated emancipation it
was supposed that it would require from
twenty to thirty years to accomplish it.
But when the tide of emancipation was
once started it increased in velocity be-
yond the most Sanguine expectations of
the promoters of the scheme. The slave
owners, realizing that it was only a
question of time when the institution of
slavery would entirely disappear, at
once began to set their houses in order
for the change that was Inevitable, and
thus helped to speed it along. Last
year number of the largest slave
owners in the empire, including Minis
ter PADRo, manumitted their slaves.

NO AUTOCRAT.

Simply because the Democratic state
conventions are unanimous in their eX-
preston of preference for President
CLEvELAND's denomination, the Re-
publican papers call our distinguished
chief magistrate an autocrat. 1t is a
silly thing for the Republican papers to
be doing, because they are only
exposing themselves to ridicule.
There has probably never been presi-
dent who developed less of the symp-
toms of autocracy than GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. That he has will of his own is
undeniable, and it is all the more adj
mirable i'll him that he is capable of re-
sisting the Establishments of the office
seekers on the one hand and the dicta-
ton Of the political bosses on the other.
That is the kind of a man to have in the
presidential Office. But because the
president is man of convictions, and
has the courage to stand by them, is no
reason why he should be accused of au-
tocracy.
( 1t is true that the Democratic conven-
tons are unanimous in demanding the
denomination of Mr.. CLEVELAND. Yet

create this sentiment. 1t is the Spon-
taneouS expression of the masses, given
in some instances over the opposition of
the machine, as was notably the case in
New York. Mr.. CLEvELAND'S autOc-
racy consists solely in his public
record. He has made wise and worthy
president, and his record is the most
effective Influence that caD nOcsihlv hn
welded in favor of his denomination
and his reelection. He has been tried
and found faithful. That is enough.

Double-shotted Protection.

Red Wing Republican.
1t would appear that the young blood
gave its attention to getting delegates
rather than to making platform. The
omission of all expression of opinion
would be wholly eXcusable and perhaps
praiseworthy, but the tariff plank is
double-shotted with protection and has
not the faintest promise of desire for
reduction of duties:
But while adhering to the principle of
protection to American labor and pro-
auctions we demand that the duties on
imports shall be SO adjusted as not to
foster. monopolies, and in the adjust
ment of such duties such protection
shall be afforded to the various indus
tries of the country as will best, promote
the general welfare.
1t looks like piece of patchwork, a
crazy-quilt to which each member of the
committee, except Sinclair, of the Wi
mona Republican, and McKinstry, of the
Faribault Republican, who both know
how to write, had contributed few
words.

mitted their slaves to be forfeited under
the law of 1885 which declared free all
slaves not re-registered by the end of
March, 1887. Thus the way was paved
for the law which was passed by the
Brazilian legislature few days ago
providing for immediate emancipation.
Although the total abolition of slavery
i'll Brazil was sudden and somewhat I'M
expected, it will produce no shock to
the industrial interests of the empire.
The coffee planters had already pro-
vided for the introduction of imported
labor in sufficient numbers to take the
place of the negroes who were expected
to quit work when their freedom was
gained. The freedmen are doing just
as it was expected they would do, quit
ting the plantations and flocking to the
towns.

THE BLAINE FIGURES.

Mr.. BLAINE's lieutenants are playing
bold game in giving out the figures on
the BLAINE vote so long in advance of
the convention; and the fact that they
do so is in itself evidence of their conf
dence in his chances for nomination.
They give Mr.. BLAINE $50 votes, only
lacking twenty-five of nomination on
the first ballot. The table, as published
in the New York World of yesterday
was prepared by Mr.. ELKINs and Chair
man JONES, of the Republican national
committee, and there is very little rea-
son to doubt its reliability. AS an evil
dence of its correctness, we observe that
seven of the fourteen votes from Min
nesota are set down in the BLAINE col
umn. This is about right, and we as
sumo the other figures to be equally cor
rect.
1t must be borne in mind that the 3S9
