-IT is decidedly strange, you know,
why some of the English papers do not say
an occasional good word for Harrison and
Morton if they do not fear that under the rule
of such men England would not be given
chance to compete with our manufacturers
and farmers. The English press is unanl-
nous for Cleveland and free trade Itknows
that Harrison is a thorough American and
would advocate measures for the best inter
ests of America. England understands that
free trade in America would give her larger
market for English goods. She also under
stands that Cleveland is friend of hers,
whether intentionally or because he knows no
better, and she is going to help secure his
election. Americans, this is the reason you
hnd the English papers solid for Cleveland,
and against Harrison. Which will you vote
for, the man who is trying his level best to
befriend foreigners, or the one who has al.
ways stood up for American principals?

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

Senator Stewart recently made a speech
IN the Senate on the bill prohibiting Chinese
laborers from coming to this country. He
spoke Of the Morrow bill, which the Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike on this Coast
gave ex Senator Fair much credit for cham
pioning, and also proved by the records that
General Harrison not only supported that
bill but assisted in bringing it up for vote
in the Senate. Stewart says that if that bill
had passed the House and become law
there would have been no necessity for
new treaty.
The Fair Morrow bill was no doubt the
best restriction bill that was ever presented
before Congress, and at that time the Ad-
ministration had the solution Of the Chinese
question in its own hands. The bill, how
ever, was smothered in the House, under the
pretense that new treaty was being drawn
up which would be much more binding.
While the Democratic press is willing to
give Mr.. Fair much praise Tor his connection
with this measure it damns Harrison because
he did what he could to assist Falr TO pass
the bill in the Senate.
This is about as consistent as the Demo
cratic press is on any subject.
The new treaty has not yet been ratified,
and it is feared that it will not amount to
much at all events. The Senate added to
the bill just passed, in the way of amend
ments, all the provisions that made it at all
meritorious or gave it any vitality. Senator
Stewart thinks that the best thing that can
now be done is to pass a law to enforce the
provisions Of the new treaty. He still be-
lieves that the bill General Harrison voted |
for would, if it had become law, have been
better than any law that can be passed under
the new treaty.
1t may sound unpleasant to Democrats to
hear the assertion made that the real obsta-
Gle to Chinese restriction is the Cleveland /
Administration, but the assertion is never
theless true.

THE FISHERIES TREATY RI
,JECTED.

After long and exhaustive discussion the
Senate has rejected the fisheries treaty. This
conclusion was inevitable from the first. The
treaty bargained for such privileges in Ca
madam ports as are due to friendly nations
from common usage. The Canadian authort-
ties made unreasonable exactions and offered
to retreat from teeir position If the United
States would give them an equivalent. From
the day the treaty was published it has been
clear that it would not command a vote that
did not belong to the administration through
party allegiance. Senator Voorhees, is said
not to have voted on the motion to ratify,
but all the other Democrats in the Senate
voted aye. The Republican vote was solid
against the treaty. This might be represent
publicans but for the fact they voted, with
two exceptions, to ratify the Chinese treaty.
Now the Chinese treaty is a worse piece oil
work than the fisheries treaty, but the Sena.
tors do not understand the question so we'll.
The Chinese treaty is sieve through which
as many Chinese will pour as the Chinese Six
Companies think can be probably employed
in the country. The only escape from thi:
result is the possible reversal of the ruling:
in the Federal courts by which Chinese have
been admitted in droves under the present
restriction act. But after the Republican
Senators had voted for one of the State De.
partment defective treaties they should moi
be accused of voting against the fisheries
treaty on party grounds. The treaty was re-
jected on its own merits or lack of merits

The Mocking-Bird's Song.

Whether or not this musical prodigy
has any tabernacle, it is difficult 10
say. Winter is not, strictly speaking,
his concert season, yet he gives many
a charming matinee while snow is on
the ground. When the sun shines
brightly on frosty day. and the air is
clear and crisp, his jubilant song
sometimes starts us from our beds.
Though he does not sing every day in
winter. it is certainly true that he does
not retire for the season, nor with.
draw to any great distance from his
home. His true hour of melody is,
like that of Europe's queen of song, in
the night Then all his music and
poetry are at high tide. On
summer night, when the mir is
fragrant with the rose and Cape jessa-
mine. when the magnolia leaves and
blossoms glisten under q moon as
bright rs day; when the myrtle and
pomegranate flowers shine like Jewels,
and the cloth-of- gold looks up to the
stars with radiance almost like their
own; when the air and earth are full
of a tenderness that marks the silent,
peaceful hour of midnight. then this
matchless bird. forgetting his capriccs
of the day, anil full of love and senti-
ment, pours forth such n flood of song,
such a grand epic of romance and
beauty that the very heavens seem to
listen, and human hearts are touched
with deep and holy calm. -ZiteIta

PRETTY BESSIE'S PLAN.
How Lord Chancellor Eldon Was D nee
Reminded of Il Promise.

How Lord Chancellor EIdon Was nee
Reminded of Promise.
A man, well-known in politics and
journalism, was noted for his parsi-
mony. AS he was well-to-do, friend
once demonstrated with him upon his
littleness in money matters, saying
that there was neither cause nor oc-
casion for his being so near"
That so" answered the journalist,
"but the fact is. cam help it. l be-
gan life in poverty, and early formed
the habit of turning over penny
again and again before spending it,
and now, when there is no occasion
for saving. I can't break away from
the old habit"
Lord Chancellor Eldon is another
illustration of the force of the penuri-
Gus habit. H, married young and
imprudently. For several years he
had TO struggle to maintain his family,
and the economical habits then formed
clung to him throughout life. But
what was frugality in the briefess
lawyer became parsimony in the Lord
Chancellor with a large fortune
and princely income. The penurious
lawyer was, however, when thor
oughly moved, capable of generous
actions. As Lord Chancellor, his &C.
clesiastical patronage was large. He
showed liberality and humanity in be-
slowing good 'livings' upon meritori-
GUS clergymen.
One morning Lord Ehlon was sit
ting in his study and working slowly
to lessen the huge pile of papers which
encumbered his desk. A young and
beautiful girl was shown in. Her
rustic attire and slight embarrass-
mont prompted the old man to rise,
and with courteous bow to ask:
WHO are you, my dear?'
Lord Eldon." replied the blushine
maiden, Il am Bessie Bridge. the
daughter of the Vicar of Weobley,
and papa has sent me to remind you
of a promise which you made him
when l was little baby. and you
were a guest in his house. 1t was when
you were first elected as member of
Parliament for Weobley."

the perplexed chancellor
Yes. my Lord. a promise. You
were standing over my cradle, and
papa said TO you: Mr.. Scott, promise
me that if ever you are Lord Chan

clergyman's wife. you will give her
husband living. You answered:

CATION" exclaimed the chancellor, en-
Enthusiastically. Then. looking at the
damsel, he added, with smile: But
surely the time for keeping my
promise has notyet arrived. You can
not be any ones wife at presentP'
mo. my Lord" answered Bessie,
hesitatingly; ''but do so wish to be
somebody's wife"
Then she blushed, and continued:
There's a living in Herefordshire,
near my old home, that has recently
fallen vacant and if you will give it
to Alfred. why. then, my Lord, we
shall be married before the end of The
year"
The chancellor rang his bell, and di-
rected his secretary to make out the
presentation of the living to Bessie's
Alfred. Then the old man kissed the
young lady, and sent her on her way
in love with Lord Elton and at peace
with all the world. YOUTHS Com
