Queer LaScar Sailors.

The British steamship Mameluke, at
Spreckels' refinery wharf. has crew
of sixty East Indian coolies, commonly
called Lascars. The officers of the
vessel speak very highly of them, and
say they would rather sail with them
than with white crew. They are
docile, obedient and trustworthy. in
this respect differing from the Malays,
who are extremely treacherous.
Some of their peculiar customs are
very amusing to Americans. For in
stance, they always eat their food in
the open air. with their faces toward
the west, and the greatest insult Il
white man or "Geaour" can offer them
is to walk between them and he sun
while they are eating, causing his
shadow to fall on their food, which I'M
Nediate.y becomes unclean.
Their appearance is rendered pecu-
liar by their habit of shaving their
heads. leaving but one tuft at the side
for 'the Prophet to drag them into
Paradise by. When married they
wear a ring on their big toe- They
stand the cold remarkably well. and
make good sailors. being as active as
monkeys. In running aloft they ig-
more the ratlins and use the backstays,
perpendicular wire rope, which they
literally walk up-Phaadetpaid Record

THE DIFFERENCE.

While defeated in their efforts to &c.
cure the organization of the State Senate
the Republicans stand before the people
of the country in proud position, and
the members can look their constituency
tquareIy in the face without the exhl-
bition of one single tinge of that white
livered hue which denotes shame and
subservency, humiliation and disgrace,
evidences which are plainly depicted In
the countenances of many Democrats
and some Alliance men who have bowed
down and literally kissed. the hand OF
Donnelly and made to dance to the crack
of his whip, under blows more singing
and poisonous than the bite OF rattle
soake.
The Republican party of Minnesota is
to be congratulated upon the uncompro-
missing position it holds to-day. Through
its Lieut.. Governor it refused to barter
away it's principles and birth-right for
the mere satisfaction of holding the
of ces and controlling part ofthe mo e
unimportant committees, and Mr.. Ives
has the thanks and respect of the people
of the state for his honorable declination
to submit to the dictates of Donnelly
and disgrace himself by acceding to his
arrogant demands.
Donnelly's bombastic harangue against
the Republican party at the opening OF
the senate may be taken as preface OF
what is to follow, but the hypocrisy and
demagoguery of the sage are so thorough
ly we'll known to the people as to give his
words no effect. 1t took Senator John
Day Smith to give him the first knock
out and the clean. cut statement of Lieut..
Gov. Ives to show him up as one willing
to barter away everything in sight If he
could be allowed to control three or four
of the most important committees in the
senate. The attitude of the democratic
senators is most humiliating to the res
pectable element of the party. They
are as absolutely under the dictatorship
.. Donnelly, as were ever the peasantry
Of Ireland under the rule of English
tyranny, and they are there humDIY beg
ging at his feet for snch crumbs as he
may seem disposed to throw to them.
While the Democrats occupy this I'M
enviable position, the Republicans have
proven themselves worthy the great
trust which has been reposed in them
by the people. and stand out in digni-
fed light before the world. Donnelly
has swallowed up the Alliance and
gulped down the Democrats. He is
SWOLLEN up like toad after big meal
and there is now nothing in sight of the
Alliance Democratic combine except the
Senator from Dakota.
Like gas bag, Donnelly will collapse
after the wind gets out of him, and IN
the meantime he will feather his nest.

The Observation-Disclosures combination
in the Senate proved too much for the
Republicans. We will not now under
take to discuss the causes or effects OF
this move. The control of several OF
the important committees will fall to
the Alliance, in the division of the
spoils. Whatever legislation is accomp-
lished or forwarded by means of these
committees, the Alliance will be held
responsible, and upon its character
whether good or bad, will in great
measure depend the future prosperity
of the Alliance as an independent fac
TOR in politics in this state. The eyes OF
the people Of the state will be tocusced
upon the Alliance members of both
houses, and any wrong move must be
severely accounted for. The Alliance
now has its long coveted opportunity
and upon the wisdom with which it
takes advantages of that chance will de.
