there was an officer in one of the regi-
ments, who was a cousin of mine, and
called to see him.
''What is his name, what regiment
does he belong to and did you see him?''
told him, and as we were still in
sight of my cousin, 1 said. There he
is now,n as 1 pointed towards him.
"All right; officer show show this

Tit For Tat.

What shall we do if it turns out to be
true that the Chinese Government real
ly means to take revenge upon US for
anti-Chinese legislation by compelling
all Americans living in China to regis
ter their names, get their photographs
taken, and wear tags? We are unable
to tell at once. The paper of the San
Francisco Chinese, Var Kee, prints q
document, alleged to be official, which
contains some Ominous suggestions.
1t gives notice that, though the Empor-
or is not afraid of this country, he does
not desire to make war upon it for its
unfriendly policy, but has other meth
DDS of retaliation. It then gives this
remarkable warning:
''If the Chinese Registration act is
enforced upon Chinese resident in
America, China will insist that Ameri-
and wear tags, under penalty of inn
prisonment and expulsion, according
to the American system"
We do not know whether the docu-
ment containing this curious suggestion
of retaliation in kind is authentic, but
it is worthy of Chinese shrewdness, and
there is a report from Washington that
the State Department was in a guam
dry when it was received there.
What could we do If the Chinese
Government were to execute the threat,
and to say that American legislation
had furnished precedent for the Chin
csc edict? Perhaps Secretary Foster
has not yet thought of an answer to
this dumbfounding question.
1t is certain that the Chinese living
in this country, who number over one
hundred thousand, have thus far stead
lily refused to obey the law adopted by
Congress half year ago, which re-
quired them to register and get photo
graphed before May next, at the cost
of one dollar, under penalty of expul-
sion from the country. The Six Com
panies, which control their conduct,
ordered them to take no notice of it, and
assured them that the Emperor would
come to their relief. Every effort has
been made to induce those of them
living in this city to conform to the law,
but they stand dumb under pressure.
Must they all be shipped off to China
within the next half year?
If our Government should remon-
strate against the enforcement of the
retaliatOry edict against Americans in
China, the Chinese Government can
reply that we gave no heed to it's
against the nti-Chinese
legislation of the United States. 1t Is
hard to tell, in jiffy, what can then
be said by US that will be in consonance
with the comfy of nations.
We do not believe that the Americans
living in those parts of China in which
Americans are permitted to live would
submit to law like that which we
nave enacted against the Chinese liv-
ng in the United States.
What in the world does President
Harrison think we could do if the
Chinese threat were carried out?-N.

A japanese Garden.
Atlantic Monthly.

| Atlantic Monthly.
Lafcadio Hearn, in an article devote,
to Japanese garden, writes thus o
his own garden and some of its inhab
| itants:
'.Those antique garden walls, high
messed below their ruined coping o.
tiles, seem to shut out even the murmol
of the city's life. There no sounds bu
the voices of birds. the shrilling O
semi, or, at long, lazy intervals, the
solitary plash of a diving frog. Nay
those walls seclude me from much more
than city streets. Outside them huns
the changed Japan of telegraphs, and
newspapers, and steamships; within
dwell the all-reposing peace of nature
and the dreams of the sixteenth century.
There is a charm of quaintness in the
very air; faint sense of something
yiewless and sweet all about one; per.
haps the gentle haunting of dead ladies,
who looked like the ladies of the old
picture books and who lived here when
all this was new. Even in the summer
light-touching the gray. strange
shapes of stone thrilling through the
foliage of the long-loved trees-there is
the tenderness of a phantom caress.
These are the gardens of the past. The
future will know them only as dreams,
creations of forgotten art, whose
charm no genius may reproduce.
''Of the human tenants here no
creature seems to be afraid. The little
frogs resting upon the lotus leaves
scarcely shrink from my touch: the
lizards sun themselves within easy
reach of my hand; the water snakes
glide across my shadow without fear:
bands of semi establish their deafening
orchestra on plum branch just above
my head; and a praying mantis inso-
lently poses on my knee. Swallows
and sparrows not only build their nests
on my roof, but even enter my rooms
concern-one swallow has actually
built its nest in the ceiling of the bath
room-and the weasel purlOins fish un-
der my very eyes without any scrouples
of conscience. A wild uguisu pearches
on cedar by the window, and in a
burst of savage sweetness challenges
my Gagged pet to contest in song; and
always through the golden air, from
the green twilight of the mountain
pines, there purls to me the plaintive.
caressing, delicious call of the yama-
bato No European dove has such a
cry. He who can hear for the first
time the voice of the yamabato without
feeling a new sensation at his heart
little deserves to dwell in this happy
world

CORRESPONDENTS.
The Real Reason.

CUMBERLAND, MD, July 25 1892.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The reason Col. Pearre ran LOO
votes behind Mr.. Wellington in this
county three years ago lies much
deeper than the fact that he cut Hoff
man and Richmond in 1883. Notwith-
standing the cut, the friends of these
gentlemen made no point of it against
Pearre when he ran for the Senate,
and he lost few, or no votes on account
of his former detection.
The real reason he ran so far behind
his ticket, and especially behind Well
ington. was because the Colonel be
longs to family and to set who
pride themselves upon being ultra
fashionable and aristocratic, and are
therefore in little touch and sympathy
with the masses.
Wellington, on the contrary, was II
poor boy who sprang from the masses
and is one of them.
All Col. Pearre is or has nearly, has
been done for him by others whereas,
Wellington is an entirely self-made
man, and whenever you run two
men like those on the same ticket,
it requires no prophet to tell which
one will get the most votes. 1t
is dollars to doughnuts always that
the man who is from among the people
will get their votes, while the man who
Is, or thinks he is from a stratum above
the people, will not get their votes.
This is said in no disparagement of
judgment the situation. 1t is not
his fault that he was born rich and of
an aristocratic family.
But on the other hand. 1t IS greatly
to Mr.. Wellington's credit that, being
born poor and obscure, he has raised
himself to what he is. And things
being as they are, it is perfectly GER
tain that Mr.. Wellington will always
get more, many more votes than Mr.
Pearre. 1t will be so all over the dis
trict wherever the two men are, or will
become known. Nj. Wellington on
this account alone is LOCO votes
stronger than Col. Pearre, and in
the close fight we will have this fall
the difference between election or de-
feat, it seems to me. lies in the nom
nation of either the former or the
latter.
Under these circumstances it would
seem to an unbiased observer" that
the duty of a good republican is to
favor the nomination of the strongest
man. With both reason and precedent
TO guide, Mr.. Wellington is decidedly
that man, and unless we want another
democratic Congressman from this dis
trict republicans ought not to hesitate
about it.
1t is not a hint for opening old
political sores or paying off old scores.
Let them lie buried as they are But it
is time for republicans to open their
eyes to the situation and make no
blunder in their nomination.

They Cbafe Under any Rule.


1t is contended that the worklngmen
do not like the Pinkertons, but not a
solid, valid reason has been given
therefor either by the workingmen
themselves or the arrant demagogue
newspapers that faunt the same hate.
But it is fact that they do dislike
the Pinkertons-we mean the so-called
workingmen do.
And the lame, hating, blind pretext
which justlfes the nate of the Pin
kertons holds just as good IN their
hearts against the militia.
Moreover, against the soldiers of the
United States, as was fully exempli-
fed along the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad in 1877.
No; the SC, called W rkingmen want
to have their own way with not only
their own goods and time, but also
with the property and opportunities
of their employers.
And the force which prevents this
Utopian indulgence, no matter what
it is-constabulary or military, is to
them fit only for dog feed.

Somewhat a Case in Point.

The Baltimore Sun says:
Rev. J. W. Parks, pastor of Olive Branch
Independent Methodist Church, who lives at
604 South Sharp street, complained to Mayor
Latrobe that telegraph pole had been put
in the center of the sidewalk of an alley in
the rear of his home. The pole, he said,
obstructs the passageway
This seems to be complaint with
real foundation and plenty of it.
But, continues the Sun
The Mayo says that under the law telegraph
companies have the right to put poles where
they please.
One would think that if the right of
way be so indiscriminate aud sweep
ing in Baltimore, where, it is probable,
the company is unfortitied by charters
of governmental parentage, that there
should be no trouble whatever here
where the precious privilege was
accorded by the highest power under
the sun before Frostburg enjoyed a
municipal existence.
But on the Other hand, says the
Mayor
They Uhe telegraph compallies) are liable
for damages to private property.
so here, doubtless. But, as in
nearly all other domains of legal
responsibility-damage must accrue
before prosecution, and unless injury
is threatened, or appears inevitable,
nobody is empowered to stop public
improvement by a mere anticipation

The press at once forms and ex-
presses public opinion. 1t performs
all the functions Of deliberative

participates because, as it We're, a

Why?

So far as published criticisms are concern
ed the mayor and council should know just
what to expect from the organ of capital and
monopoly.-Ledger.
Very well.
Will the Ledger name a single cap
italist or monopoly it is opposed to-
Especially in local sense?
And why it's readers have not been
favored in it's editorial columns with
a single word of censure of person or
company, or single act of a capital
list or monopolist?
And when it gets through with an
swering those questions, will it say
why the JOURNAL, being the "organ
of capital and monopoly" opposes
what seems to be the united and con-
current action of a body corporate CON
sisting of one capitalist, four mer-
chants, one contractor, and one work
man
Or why the Ledger, which inferen-
TALLY despises capital and monopoly"
should be the lackey of anybody and
everybody in the crowd except good
