The chinese ministers wife.

The wife of the Chinese Minister is q
bright little woman, who takes a great
deal Of intrest in the ways of her Ameri.
can sisters. 1t is rumored that she will
appear in Washington society some time
this season, that she may at least observe
for herself the things that are reported
to her by the attaches Of the embassy.
For her to attend parties, &C., would be
an affair Of considerable trouble, since
her feet are totally inadequate to support
her body, slight as she is, and the spec
tacle Of seeing her husband and the big,
brawny irst secretary up and down q

Escalente Desert, from Milford SOUTH

the work of grading the roadbed Tor the

Governor Hill Of New York is an ar.
lent advocate Of reform in the electoral
laws. In his message to the Legislature
he states facts plainly and gives particu-
lars. He says: "In spite Of their ex.
cellent provision. our laws do not reach
two great evils which attend our cleo.
tions-intimidation and corruption. These
flourish unchecked. bringing shame upon
our State, rendering our elections a
mockery and threatening ever the integ.
rity and existence Of our political insti.
t%utions. 1t is indeed q sad allegation,
which is made and not denied, that in
some parts Of our State at the recent
Presidential election, corruption was so
unrestrained that scene at the polls re.
sembled an auction more than an cleo.

An Austrian Opinion.

An Austrian, who recently visited the
United States, has furnished the Vienna
Neue Freie Press his opinion of this
country. In relation to American
women he expressed himself as follows:
American women, if they are not always
beautiful, at least know how to make
themselves appear so. Nowhere have /
seen so many beautiful women as in
America, including even old women with
white hair. The native American girl.
especially if Of English or Scotch de-
scent, is large and slender, generally
blonde, with regular features and re-
markably small hands and feet. The
complexion is often pale; rarely do thew
have the fresh color of a Viennese eiri.
The most beautiful girl l have ever
come across in my life / saw in a New
York store. She was an American of
Spanish descent. Of a literally dazzling
beauty, such as / had never before en-
.countered in life or on canvass. The
happiest marriages are those Of Ameri.
can men to German women.

seu. sherman I'm south Caro-

There is considerable stir in karshaw
coup,y. South Carolina, caused by the
appearapce there Of two strangers, who
say they have been specially commits
stoned by John Sherman Of Ohio to dig
up the rich treasure which was buried
there in FEBRUARY, 1866, when Sherman's
army passed through this State. The
two men say they are from Ohio, and
they have already employed a number oil
negro laborers, who, with spade, pick
and shovel, are fast turning over earth
in search Of the bag containing the pre-
cious stuh. 1t is said that about a month
before the close of the late war, when
sherman's army passed through this
State and South Carolina in a certain
place in Kershaw county, about IL
miles from Camden and neal the banks
Of the Lynch river, Sherman had q large
eanvas bag full Of gold buried. The
bag was placed in q big pot and put
down fifteen feet in the ground. There
was a lot Of jewelry set with diamond;
in the pile. and all would be worth
from 500. 900 to S2O0,0 600. The summer
after the surrender a man came dowr
from Ohio to dig up the treasure, but
was taken sick with fever and died. On
| his deathbed he told his mission, and de-

the treasure was deposited. All efforts
however, to unearth it have proved frult

AN INCIDENT


In the life of n Great Man.
Little things show character, so the
philosophers say. Then the following
story of Grady, told by himself to a
friend, and preserved in the Atlanta
Constitution, proves that the strong
man had a child's heart. He visited
mis- mother on Christmas a year ago,
and he says:
| don't think l ever felt happier than
when / reached the little home of my
ooyhood. | got there at night. She
had saved supper for me and she had
remembered all the things l liked.
She toasted me some cheese over the
ire. Why l hadn't tasted anything
like it since | put of my round jackets.
And then she had some home made
candy she knew / used to love, and,
bless her hearti l just felt sixteen
again as we sat and talked, and she
told me how she prayed for me and
thought of me always and what a
brightness | had been to her life, and
how she heard me coming home in every
boy that whistled along the street.
When I went to bed she came and
tucked the covers all around me in
the dear old way that none but a
mothers hands know, and I felt so
happy and so peaceful and 80 full of
tender love and tender memories that !
cried happy, grateful tears until / went
to sleep.
When he finished, says the narrator,
his eyes were full OF tears, and so were
mine. He brushed his hand across his
brow swiftly and said, lsughingly:
why, what are you crying about I
What do you know about all this sort
Of feeling ?"
Grady was a real man, and In the
present crisis his wise counsels will be
greatly missed.

The sugar trust seems to be in hard
luck. The combination in New York
has been declared illegal and contrary to
the good of the public, and still later
Judge Wallace OF San Francisco has de-
cided that in going into the combine the
American Sugar Refinery has forfeited
its charter. The decision is on the line
already marked out. Charters are
granted for the public good, not for the
enrichment Of individuals. When the
holders of a charter combine with the
holders of other charters to Cypress the
public they cease to perform the service
they were intended to perform. 1t is an
abuse of power conferred by the law.
and the law finds a remedy in with
drawing the special powers conferred.

LET Us HAVE HONEST POLL
TICa.


The New York Herald says the Re
uublicans carried the Presidential cleo
tion on a distinct pledge to maintain
high protective laws. They would have
been defeated and ruined il they had
been even remotely suspected OF intend
ing TO lower duties, because their friends
would not have "fried out" They ex'
hibited to the people as 4 model OF what
they would do in the celebrated Tarifi
hill. which raises duties all along the
line.
By their promises they carried the
country, elected their President n a
majority Of the House, and as they
have a majority Of the Senate also they
are fortunately able to carry out all
their promises and arc fully response
BILE. They are bound to do 1t. IL
does not matter that some New
England Republicans are nov squeaiing
for free wool and others for free iron
ore and free coal and lower duties on
other articles. These people ought to
have voted the Democratic ticket.
They knew, as everybody knew, tina
the Republican party was openly, IN
every possible way-by platforms by
speeches, by e~Iec.iOneering documents
and by professionalism to high
duties, and if in spite OF that they
voted that ticket, they cannot now
come in and plead for low duties or
free trade.
The Republicans in Congress are
therefore bound, as q matter OF hon
esty and good faith, to maintain the
present scale and system Of duties or
10 make them higher. We are glad to
hear that Mr.. Mckinley, who has the
reputation Of an honest man, means
just this.
But we viii 60 a step further. This
country is supposed to be under popu-
lar government. What the people
want, il il is within the Constitution
and if they have plainly declared their
wishes in a constitutional manner, that
ought to be done. We are of opinion,
therefore, that the Democrats, while
they may rightfully discuss Mr.. Nc
Kinley's tariff when it is laid before
the House, have no right to prevent or
even to unduly delay its passage
by f~actious opposition, or destroy its
character by incongruous amendments
If any Democrat, SC called, wants
higher duties than Mr.. Mckinley shall
provide in his bill, a motion for a
higher rate would, we should think, be
in order, as representing the Republi.
can demands and principles. But 9th
erwise the Mckinley bill, If it fairly
and fully carries out the promises Of
Mr.. McKinley's party, ought to be al
lowed to pass and become a law with
out much delay.
Let us have honest politics. Tit
American people declared in the las
Presidential election that they wantet
higher duties, and they ought to hav'
them. When they change their mind
and want free trade or free raw mate
rails they can make this known a
some future election. II there are Re
publicans who now want free wool o.
free coal or free iron, or any othei
free raw material, or reduced duties Oh
such things, they forfeited by thei
vote in the Presidential election an,
right TO be heard now.

The st. Paul Globe says there were
some intimations that when President
Eliot of Harvard College announced his
purpose to act with the Democratic

the vacant seats in the halls Of high
culture, but the catalogue just issued
shows an increase Of $50 over the previ-
ous year. and an aggregate attendance of
upwards of 1000. the greatest number
ever known at an American college. 1t

than the monopoly ridden Republican
party OF to-day.
