In the autumn of 1868 the Chinese gov
eminent ratified the famous Burlingar,
treaty. Twenty years after, almost o
the day, President Cleveland signs a
Chinese exclusion bill. The career of
Arson Burling anne, our Minister to China,
forms one of the most cons picuous cha p
tiers in the history of American diplo-
macy, which was first to bring the Chin
es government to book in a convention
by which that nation acknowledged the
principles of international law. Minister
Burlingame at once became a figure of
national Importance. The hero of bat
tie would not have been more signally
honored by our people. "If that oisili-
cation which has so long moved west
ward with the star of empire, is now puri-
fed by the principles of Christianity"
said Gen Halleok at the famous 9urlin-
game banquet at the Lick house in 1868,
"San Francisco must be made the abut-
ment from which is to be sprung forward
the great international law which is 30
bridge across the Pacific ocean," The
benefits of this treaty have justified all
the pains taken in securing it; but in one
particular it was too sweeping. San
Francisco indeed became an abutment
for q bridge across the Pacific. over which
thousands of coolies found their way TO
this country, but not to assimilate with
our citizenship. During the per-
iod of transcontinental railroad
building the evils of q Chinese
invasion did not appear. Coolies were
put to work along the roads, and were an
important factor in the labor question
on these great lines. But SIS the Pacific
soast country became populated, this
oriental labor produced complications
that led to the treaty Of 1880. It was
then argued that we could regulate, limit
or suspend the coming Chinese laborers
TO our shores. The restriction acts of
1882 and 1884 under this treaty proved
failures, and, as Mr.. Cievelsns shows IN
his message sent to the Senate, g new
frosty was negotiated with view of es-
tablishlng "a system OF strict and absC
lutte prohibition" of Chinese laborers.
The refusal of China to ratify the treaty
leaves Congress free to ahrogate enough
existing treaties to shut out the coolie,
in accordance with the demand Of the peo-
pie of the Pacific coast.

THE Emperor William is a constan
urprise to his people. He is beginning
TO be looked upon as an enigma and the
people have given up all attempts to
forecast his future movements from his
past actions. His late msneuvers with
the Berlin regiments inspired the people
with the belief that everything was to be
suhordinated to the military spirit. And
they were more or less epprehensive in
consequence. But a late order has dis
PEELED any fears grounded on the Berlin
m4neUvers and convinced the Germans
that their emperor ia a man not to be
measured by ordinary standards. This
order stops any further celebration of the
victory of the Germans at Sedan in the
Franco Prussian war. If the emperor
really favors the peace of Europe, as this
order would seem to indicate, he could
not devise a better means to that end
than by supprsssing the military enthusi-
asm of the Germans. The battle celebra-
tions keep the spirit alive. Besides, it Is
cultivating barbaric habit; this rejoic-
ing in the downfall of other nations. This
order will undoubtedly have a beneficial
effsct, and in the end will do much to
soften the asperities between France and
Germany. Forgetting Is next to forgiv-
Ing.

Among other things placed on the deck
for the accommodation of the queen, was
a costly and very splendid sofa, orna-

other boys Of that age, being of des-
tructive turn Of mind, began to pull at
one in a manner that threatened to de.
latch it. His mother observed the act,
and ordered him to desist. He did so,
but as soon as her back was turned seized
the tassel again to give another jerk. The

Confederate Money.
Atlanta Constitution.

Congressman Grimes who represents
the fourth Georgia district, told { couple
of stories very pertinent TO the subject
and which greatly amused his auditors:
SIN the latter part of 1863" said Mr.
Grimes, "a young man who lived in La
Grange, Ga, became possessed e the
sum of $500 in Confederate money He
was of hrifty turn and wanted to add
to it. With that purpose in view he ia
ves-ed his money in a bar'u of whisky.
This he sold by the drink, and at the end
of the week lad disposed CT the whole
barrel and had $1,000 in hand, a uet pro
f. of $500. The young man was hig hly
elated. He saw his way clear to fortune
in short time.
"Of course, he decided to buy more
whisky at wholesale and sell il by the
small measure, but he had not taken in
to account the wear and tear which the
credit of the confederacy had suffered
during the week which it had taken him
TO sell out his barrel. When ne went to
invest i'll another supply he found that be
could not make purchase similar to his
first one for less than 81 500. The finan-
cial hucruations involved in the transac,
ton Knocked HIM so com pIetely out that
EO lIOI
life and hired himself out as an pgricUl
turist." When his hearers had finished
laughing at this story, Mr.. Grimes gave
them the orher one. SIT was In the same
town-La Grange-and in the latter part
of 1854" he said, lone old gentleman
there, who had persistently predicted the
failure of the confederacy was o1e day
deriding the currency that was then sc
len5iful and of such little value. He
said that il was so worthless that nobod y
would even steal it or pick it up if found
on the street. He pulled out $1,000
b1ll-confederate money, of course-and
declared that he could tack it with a pin
TO the fence around the court house,
leave it Their. five hours, and nobody
would think enough of it to put it in his
pocket. His offer was accepted. The
note was pinned 10 the fence and at the
end of five hours he and the man TO
whom he had been talking went out to
see what there was to be SEEN" Mr..
Grimes he paused.
"Weilf" inquired Mr.. Allen, of Missis-
sipPi.
"The $1,000 note was there" replied
Mr.. Grimes, land pinned beside it was
another con federate bill. the 6enomina-
ton of which was $4,000"

The fact that %, 149 Boston women pro-
pose to pay polItax and vote on school
questions this fall photographs the local
excitement. One claim is that half of
these registered are Catholic women, but
how close this estimate may be does not
appear. One thing is very certain: The
people of Massachusetts are soberly de
termined that the public school system,
designed to mold good citizens. shall be
preserved in it's integrity. The nearer
the secretary and board OF education can
come 20 developing system that shall fl
our youth for their duties in the state,
not forgetting the training of the hand
with the head and heart, the better Mr.
Dickinson says that we must make our
schools SO good that no parent can afford
to keep his children out of them, and
and that involves good many things.
THERE is an element of strange ferociJy
in the recent murders committed at
Whitechapel, in London. The corpses of
murdered persons were found TO have
been horribly mutilated; mutiiated with
an artistic fiendishness which it is difficult
to describe. One reading an account of
these murders cannot help recalling that
frightfully outre story by Edgar Allen
Poe, entitled "The Murder in the Rue
Morgue." This murder of fiction in
many ways resembled the actual murders
In Whitechapel. The bodies of the vic
Tins were hacked and disfgured in the
moot CHASTITY manner. But as the story
reveals they were committed by an es-
capped ourangoutang which accounted for
the peculiar way in which the remains were
cut. The bodies of the Whitechapel vic
Tins were ali cut in most cruel way. It
is singular that with the police resources OF
London TIE murderer cannot be discover
ed. Medical experts declare that the
atrocities are the work of hOmioidal luna
tic. They are beyond question the act of
something more--or less-than an ordi-
nary human being.
