It is announced that the Chinese gov
ernment will protest strongly against
the passage of the exclusion act which
is before Congress. While this will
not prevent the bill becoming law it
is butte likely that the Chinese govern
ment will retaliate by ordering all
Americans out Of the country. To the
mass Of people in the United States
this would not prove Il serious dspriva-
ton, but 1t would he blow indeed to
missionary work, which has been car
ried on in China with great success
since the first commercial treaty with
that government.

People who send away from home to
buy goods to save the difference IN cash
value of the outside over the home pro-
duct act on the penny wise and
pound foolish" maxim. A city Is built
up by its accommodating capital and
how can capital accumulate when the
cash trade goes to outside cities and
towns. The home merchant carries
the farmers through series Of bad
crops only to be rewarded when good
one comes by seeing outside goods
coming In because of o cash discount
made elsewhere. 1t has almost come
to be maxim that when you have the
cash buy where you can buy cheapest,
but II you have none get credit from
the home merchant. He knows you
and can wait for his due. The best
policy. to build up town is to keep all
possible cash for home circulation.
Pay the home merchants the cash you
owe them. It would enable them to
bring in new stock, aud the increased
volume of trade would enable them to
sell ut small margin.

The recent movement made towards
returning the Mexican battle flags cap
tured during the war of 1S4S, raises an
other foolish question. The point ar
rived at, that Of further cementing the
friendly relations between the two
is purely out ofthe question,
from the fact that the position which
the flags hold in the relations Of the
two countries ceased to be of any inter-
national importance when the treaty
Of peace was signed. What benefit or
pleasure Mexico could obtain from the
possession Of these relics can not be inn
agined, but that they would be con-
slant reminder of the past disgrace and
defeats Ia certainly evident. They are
only important to the United States as
an evidence Of her prowess in arms,
when they cease to occupy this position
they are Of no more Importance to the
u. 8. and certainly not to Mexico.

In the Maryland legislature bill has
been introduced making the casting of
ballots compulsory, under penalty of a
fine, to 60 to the public school fund.
Sickness and absence from the voters
legal residence are the only excuses rec
ognized. This is in the line of practi-
al measure for the preservation ofmun-
icipal governments from domination hy
the corrupt and unintelligent elements
among voter. 1t is recognized fact
that whenever those interested in an
honest administration Of city affairs
have gone to the polls in body they
have triumphed over the boodlers, and
from this the conclusion is drawn that
the misgovernment of our cities is the
direct result Of the failure of large
number of the more honorable and in
telligent class of citizens to cast their
ballots. A man has no right to shirk
his duty rs citizen. 1t is one of his
duties to pay taxes on his property, and
the law compels him to do it; it il one
of his duties to serve on the jury, and
the law takes him from his store or Of
fee, regardless Of his wishes, and puts
him in the jury box; it is one of his du-
ties to rear his children aud educate
them to become good and intelligent
citizens, and in some states the law is
compelling him to attend to it; it is also
one of his duties to help administer the
government, of which he is part, by
designating with his ballot whom he
prefers to administer or make the laws
and what character of laws he desires
to have made, and the law has an equal
right to compel him to discharge the
obligation. government comes from
the people, good government can only
come from good people. the creature
cannot be better than the creator. Ifthe
corrupt elements are permitted to DOM
mate at the polls, acorrupt government
can be the only result. TIA man neg
lects to perform his duty as q citizen in
this respect, even to his own injury,
his neighbor, who is also injured by this
neglect, has the moral right to insist
that he shall perform 1t, and this moral
right might be made legal one with
much benefit to the cause of good gov
ernn,ent.

Changed Bis Mind Again.

NEW York, March 1.-THE Evening
Telegram says: Notwithstanding all that is
said concerning the anxiety of Cleveland to
be nominated for the presidency, the Tele-
gram is in position to announce on unim-
peachable authority that the ex-president
recently wrote letter declaring he would
not allow himself to be put in nomination.
This letter was written in vigorous and
sweeping language. Cleveland said in the
strongest and simplest way he would not
accept the nomination. No one but Mrs.
Cleveland knew of the letter.
The eX-president penned It without the
knowledge of his friends in order to pre-
vent them attempting to interfere with his
action.
Mr. Cleveland intended to make the letter
public by the Associated Press and it was
written with that purpose in view. The very
day the declaration was to be published
Mrs. Cleveland saved the situation by
sending for one of the leaders
and most trusted friends. To
this gentleman Cleveland frankly con-
fessed he was sick of the chickering's
and insults and daily infringement upon
his private life. He had not lifted so much
as his little finger to secure the nomi
nation; nothing would induce him to
enter the race and he plainly said
printed at once. After few minutes con-
versation Cleveland's friends induced him
to promise the letter would not be given
TO the Associated Press for twenty-four
hours. Word was sent to several of
the most faithful and level-headed Cleve-
land men and a council hurriedly held.
Cleveland spoke with great deal of feel
sing as the council, but was at last per-
suaded to withdraw the letter.

TriumphaI' March.

Macon, GA, March 1.-THE train
bearing Senator Hill and party reached
this city at 10: 80 this forenoon. During
hr;ef stop made at the station the train was
boarded by many most prominent Demo-
Gratis and Senator Hill held an interesting
levec for fifteen minutes.
While the senator was greeting most
of the prominent citizens on the inside a
large crowd was gathering in the road and
there were loud cries of "Hiil, Hill. :"
Stepping out on the platform, he made
few remarks OF a general character. The
little town Of Wadley was reached this aft
erueou, and here the party stopped for
dinner. Quite q crowd gathered and after
dinner and just rs the train IVES to move,
Hill was introduced TO them, but
was una bic to speak, the train moving OF.
At Millen the largest crowd was assem-
bled and the senator made a brief address.
At this point Patrick Walsh of
the Augusta Daily Chronicle bearded
the train bearing a pressing invitation

them tomorrow. Another half hours ride
brought the party to the hospitable South
ern city of Savannah, where they were re-
ceived by the Hibernian society, whose
guest Senator Hill became and was escorted
to the DeSoto hotel.
There was a banquet in the evening at
which Senator Hill spoke to Our Federal

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Evening
Star mas this: 1t is possible the presidents
proclamation reimposing duties on certain
imports from Venezuela and Hayti and
Colombia will lead again to test of
the validity of the reciprocity clause in the
Mckinley bill. The proclamation opens
the way for a direct question to be
brought before the house, and it
will be the policy of those who are inter
ested in dissecting the Mckinley act
to avail themselves of the opportunity.
Speaking of the proclamation to-day, Mr..
Turner of Georgia, lawyer member of the
ways and means committee, said: 1.-The
restoration of duties on coffee and other
commodities from Venezuela, Hayti and
Columbia will greatly disturb our
trade with these countries and
the question of the constitutionality of
the law under which the proclamation was
issued may be tested in the courts. The
question will be very different from that
recently decided by the supreme court.
The claim set up in this recent case was
that the whole bill was rendered invalid by
the presence Of this clause in the bill, but
the validity of the clause itself was not
tested. Now any importer importing coffee
from Venezuela and required to pay duty
on the import may test the validity Of this
levy of duty imposed merely by executive
proclamation"

IN what manner they can serve him. He is

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Your reporter
has interviewed within the last two days
many congressman frsm the South and
West on the pending silver issue. The in
teryiews were made in good faith with no
other purpose than to elicit the facts. He
found that nearly every congressman from
Texas has prepared a speech favoring the
bill for free coinage, and desires to &c heard
thereon when the bill comes up next week.
At the same time some feel trihe dubious
as to the propriety Of that course in view
of the fact that the Texas legislature now
in session, which is supposed to represent
popular sentiment, seems disposed 10 elect
Col. Mills. who is known to be in favor Of
retiring the silver issue for the present and
also champions an anti-silysr candidate for
president.
It is known that Col. Mills has heretofore
voted and spoken for free coinage, but for
the past year his position has been for
subordiuating silver TO the tariff. Hence
the probable action of the legislature leaves
representatives in doubt as to the real
wishes Of the Texas people in this matter.
Silver men from all parts of the South
and West express establishment at the
sentiment of the Texas legislature, as re-
ported in the papers, having considered
Texas as one of the most uncompromising
silver states in the Union. These members
are the more astonished knowing that if the
question is how relegated and an anti-silver
Democrat elected president there is no
further hope of ever winning the fight,
though they have the courage of their con-
victions and mean to keep up the battle to
the end.

LIVERPOOL EXCITED
Oversize Arrest of the Man Supposed to be
Jack, the Ripper''-Some of
HIS Deeds Related

LIVERPOOL, March 1.-THE excitement
caused oy the discovery yesterday Of five
bodies buried under the floor of a house in
the Rain Hill part of Liverpool shows
no signs of Abatement whatever, and
further Developments in the case are
eagerly awaited. 1t has transpired before
coming TO England Williams, whose arrival
at Melbourne led TO the unearthing OF the
bodies, was living in North Wales.
Shortly after he left there his
wife and four children disappeared,
and it was supposed the followed Williams
TO England. Rumors Of his intended mar
riage to young girl named
naturally supposed Mrs. Williams and the
children had left for Liverpool to prevent
the contamination of this crime. The pO-
lice expect to prove that the bodies
found yesterday are those OF his
wife and children, and also that
the intention TO marry Miss Mather. VIII
lams did marry the girl in question, and
took her TO Melbourne, where he killed her
in order TO marry another girl.
1t has been learned that the name Will
Jams is an assumed on and the murderer'S
proper name is Deemiug. Deeming has a
brother who resides in Birkenhead,
and he was summoned to attend.
the coroner's inquest on the bodies OF Mrs.
Deeming and the four unfortunate children.
He arrived this afternoon. He bears most
striking resemblance to the murderer, and
some CT the people in the crowd thought it
was the murderer in the ex-
element, no Ole recalling that
the latter was safely in custody of the
police. The crowd hooted and yelled, and
finally made threatening rush for Deem
ing. The latter thought his life was in dan
ger, and was sometime in OK
planning matters to the mob.
He sought safety in flight,
which no doubt was the wisest thing to do,
and rushed to a hotel, in which he found
shelter from the yelling crowd of men and
boys who followed him to the very doors of
the hotel. 1t has been ascertained that the
murderer is a member Of q good family.
