THE HEATHEk CHINEE.
All His Troubles Arise from
His Inability to Vote.
Remarkable Poster Hung Up
in New York City.
A Weary Woman Commits Sui
eide at Utica. N. Y.

NEW YORK, April IA big poster on
a bill board in front of l6 Mott street con-
tains the following in Chinese characters:
I'VE, the undersigned committee, respect
fully inform you the principal cause of our
continued persecution By races who differ
from us in civilization and language is the
fact that we have no voting power, that
power having been unjustly denied us by
reason of partisan legislation through
political rascalities. This unjust legisla
ton against US has been discovered by us
recently to be unconstitutional, and it is
our sincere belief also that such unjust
dealings with the Chinese do not repre-
sent the true sentiment of the blue blooded
Americans. We now desire our fellow
countrymen to unite with us in an effort
to present our many grievances in a proper
before the American people. This
important movement is one that needs not
only good words, but good money to back
it. Let all who wish to enter this matter
with heart and money report AZ 9 Doyer

Representative Turner today introduced
a preamble and Joint resolution for the
better protection of life on the Atlantic
ocean. 1t calls attention to the recent
accident of the City of Paris, and says
that the rivalry between competing lines
is so keen that considerations of safety
and even of humanity are often lost sight
of. 1t holds that better protection to
human life and property can be afforded
by a system of ocean patrol than by any
other means. Such system of ocean pa,

City of Paris are all pumped dry. A

DAMAGING CHARGES.

The very serious and damaging charge
is made that the Republican candidate for
Governor writes out his speeches-worse
still, that they are put into typewriter
form. Whether Colonel Markham manip-
ulates the type-writing machine in person,
as do James Russell Lowell, Mr.. Dana,
Edward Atkinson and other distinguished
men, or whether he dictates to an amanuen-
sis, who transcribes the speech or
whether he writes out his orations and has
them copied into machine writing, we are
not informed. These are important, how
ever, and counts in the grave and dam
aging indictment that should be most ex-
plicitly set forth.
Something must be done about this mat
ter, and that right speedily. The Repub-
lican State Central Committee should take
up this accusation and determine whether
a man who carefully commits to paper his
arguments that they may bear the stamp
of elaboration and thought, is to be
trusted in the chief executive Office of the
State. The question is, shall we not set
Colonel Markham aside and insist upon
the substitution of some glib tongue, rat
tled-brained fellow who can shovel stump
speeches out of his mouth without thought
or consideration, and then unfinchingly
tell the reporters that they lie when they
print his remarks ?"
Some one, long ago, said that "the speech
that is not the product of thought and
pre-devotion to the subject is not likely to
have sufficient force to make Judgment in
the respect of men," 1t is as true to-day
as then 1t is true also that at least three
of the best Governors California ever had
invariably committed to writing the
speeches they made that called for argu-
ment, promise or the outlining of policy
For ought we know all our Governors have
done So and to their credit If Colonel
Markham's typewriter speeches consti-
tute the gravest of his offendings, the voters
of California can trust the man.
There is, however, one other allegation
leveled at the head of thu Republican
ticket, quite as grave and serious-that he
has not resided in California from "away
back" 1t does not appear to be suffi cient
that he has lived long enough among as to
be the father of five native daughters, and
to have won the respect and esteem of the
community in which he resides-in short,
that he has been resident of California, if
not for bakers dozen years, yet long
enough to be judged and approved by his
contemporaries; judgment, as has been
said, that is the severest test to which
character and capacity can be put.

THE DOWN-EAST PLAN.

The down-east plan of voting adopted in
the late Republican Convention of Massa-
chusetts appears to be taking with the
people. On the desk of the Clerk of the
Convention stood three ballot-boxes, one
for each of the offices for which nomina-
tious were to be made When the roll
was called the delegates filed past the desk
and each deposited in each ballot-box a
slip of paper with the name Of the candi-
date he favored written thereon.
OF course such method completely
'broke up" the "change of vote" business
"a pernicious practice, by the way, that
ought to be prohibited in every Conven-
ton. The new plan also rendered it very
nearly impossible of ascertainment whether
trades made had been carried out, and it
cut off utterly all proof of goods deliy-
cred" Moreover, it was an orderly way of
voting and banished completely the usual
confusion and noise accompanying roll
call. Under this system every delegate
became power in the Convention and a
good deal more than lay figure, which
most delegates have been in the past. 1t
enabled the party, too, to profit by the
real expression of the choice of the repre-
sentatives of the people sent to the Con-
vention. 1t gave the timid man an equal
chance with the bulldozing fellow who
rises and cries out ''Podunk delegation
solid for Smith" and who has been in the
habit of pushing administrative Jones
and Brown back into their seats as they
rose to protest that the delegation was not
solid for any one.
OF course the "new idea" cuts out good
deal OF the enthusiasm Of the Convention /;
but then it prevents ''stampedes,n under
which form, very often, the sober choice of
the body of the Convention is slaughtered
and the most careful canvass OF noses is
brought to naught. We would very much
like to see the new system tried in Cali

Insufferable Fops.

Walk along Fifth avenue any pleasant
afternoon and you are sme to encounter at
least score or two of professional "lady
killers" so-called, made up for heart
slaughter. There is no installing them.
They are tailored for conquest. They use
their eyes as if they were repeating pistols,
shooting their glances right and left at the
falrest marks in the feminine procession,
and evidently believing that lady is
brought down at every shot. Next to their
eyes, they rely upon the hair that is upon
their upper lips as means of conquest.
Sometimes these terrible individuals go
in pairs and triplets and make massacre
of it, in their estimation. Their gait is
iaunty and self-assured-the gait of victors.
''See, the conquering hero comes" is their
prevailing personal expression. But if
they could hear what sensible women say
of them behind their backs, it might mod
crate their self-complacency. Possibly if
they had more brains they might do some
mischief, but vain men, with weak heads
and little or no hearts, are rarely fatal to
the peace of womankind. If they are
tolerably well made and good looking,
some of the mischievous girls will hirt
with them occasionally, or pet them as
they would silken-haired spaniel or a
pretty poodle, but the cunning minxes
soon see through them and turn them into
ridicule
Professional lady-killers are simply the
dupes of their own vanity when they sup
pose that the sex adores them. Women
rarely fall deeply in love with men who
are deeply in love with themselves.-Ne,o
York Ledger.
