Of his sufferings. His real aliment was
renal calculus, which is the cruelest kind
OF a kidney disease. In the emperor's
case it was complicated with dysentery
and inflammation of the eyes, with terrible
pains in the kidneys. The venerable
monarch, to escape these pains, took
morphia, and in the deep stupor in which
be lay yesterday afternoon, is ascribed to
this. During the last few hours of his

THE difference between intelligent aid
to the poor and iDdiscriminate aims giving
is clearly shown by the report which Buff
falo makes of ten years work under
the associated charities system which 1t
was the first city in America to introduce.
During that period the expenditures of
the city for outdoor relief has been re-
duced from sixty nine cents per capita
to nineteen. The saving to the city has
heen more than half million dollars,
yet tho really deserving and necessi,ous
poor have been better cared for than
ever before. During the first two years
of the soclety's work 45S of the 763 fami-
lies which at first sought aid were weeded
nut through exposure as frauds or
through being enabled to help them
selves and have never since made apdli-
cation.

THE most important provision of the
Sherman bill affecting Chinese immigra-
grafton is the one limiting to six months
the time during which Chinese laborers
gho left the United States between No
vember 1880, and June 1889, can return
to this country under existing treaties.
If the policy Of the government is to be
a restrictive one as 20 the Chinese, it is
high timo that the laws be made effective.

xious as we are TO stop the Chinese
exodus from the Flowery Kingdom, but

SUuEr is one safe rule to be enforced by
the people in every state in eleehnc
Judges, and that is to re-,leot every CON
petent aud faithful Judge who is willing
to continue in the Judicial service re-
CARELESS of his poli.sal faith. The Judge
ship il the one office that should not only
be above party politics, but that should
never be embarrassed by presumed pol
itical obligations; and every voter who
insists upon = contest for judge on par
tisan lines greatly wrongs himself. All
judges who honestly and fearlessly dis
charge their duties must make enemies,
and they are most likely % offend the
small politicians who assume to exercise
party authority over every public official;
out the fac. that a Judge otfends those
who would prostitute the administration
OF justice, presents the very best reason
why he should be reelected. There will
always be conflicting interest and Ru...
ton seeking to displace good judges, but
the people should resolutely adhere to the
always safe rule Of re.electing every hon
est and capable iadge who will accept a
continuance OF Judicial duties.

In 1855 the old mint chimney VIZ
taken down and the rubbish deposited on
a vacant lot where the vigilance COM
mittee had their fort Fort Gunnybagsb
and near which they hanged Casey, Cora,
Hetherington and Brace. Some men
poking among this rubbish found gold
sticking TO the scattered bricks and NOR
tar? An excitement was organized i'm
nediately, and for few days the lot
was alive with men and rockers, washing
out the debris Of the old mint chimney
How did the gold get into the brick and
mortar? 1t few up the chimney when
melted in subhmated form. and, being
condensed into a solid before reaching
the top. collected on the inside, as found.
These city gold washings were as much
OF novelty to many San Franciscans as
they would be in New York, for the
nearest gold mines are $50 miles distant
Gom San Francisco, and thousands in
that city had never been to them.-Pren-

Tho Luxury Of Today.

Now, the growth of luxury for the last
half century has been very great and
very general. We do not merely mean
that the rate of living has advanced.
This of itself is not necessarily to be de-
plored in any class, and in some classes
is a matter for serious congratulation.
That an agricultural laborer, for instance,
should be able to procure more food, bet
ter clothing, better housing, and better
education for his children than he could
fifty years ago is matter to rejoice over,
and state Of things to secure by every
proper means. What we mean is, that
the scale Of comfort deemed necessary by
every class has enormously grown. Take
the upper classes. The great houses
throughout the country are administered
in style the increase of which is quite
disproportionate to the growth of income
Of their owners. The expenditure on
far fetched foods and most recherche
wines, the most costly amusements, has
vastly developed. And the tendency is
ever upward. Young men beginning life
try to start where their fathers left of.
Some quarter of a century ago there was
discussion in the newspapers as to the
prudence or otherwise of young persons
in the upper classes marrying on an in
come Of 500 year. Three times that
income would be now considered made
quate by the critics who conducted the
Overwhelmingly Review.
