A New Chinese Treaty,


1t is probable the State department
will eoon enter upon negotiations look
ing to the adjustment of our relations
with China. The enactment of the
Geary law will be regarded as an in
fraction of the existing treaty, necessi-
tatipg new treaty. 1t is understood
Gresham desires to make an extension
of our trade relations and privileges
with China the principal feature of his
administration. Secretary Gresham is
known to have little faith in the future
of our trade relations with the Spanish
American republics.
Yung Yu, the recently arrived Chi
nese envoy, is expressly charged with
the negotiation of a new treaty. The
Chinese government is satisfied with
the amendment to the Geary act and is
not anxious to extend the privilege Of
immigration for it's people, but is solici-
tous for their protection and privileges.
Chinese statesmen are said to regard
with favor the extension of trade rela-
tions with the United States in
preference to government having q
more aggressive foreign policy. The
coming negotiations will embrace set
tlement OF the questions of immigration
the treatment of the Chinese already
here or who may come legally, and the
protection of American citizens residing
in China.

The Revision Complete.

WARRINGTON. Dec. 12.-The schedules
of the tariff bill were completed today
by the ways and means committee and
portion of the afternoon was devoted
to the administrative features of the
bill. Republicans think the bill will
not be submitted before Saturday next,
while Democrats expect to submit it by
Thursday. There is no certainty of
caucus on the tariff bill, as some OF the
Democrats most anxious for changes in
the bill are opposed to the caucus. No
change WAS made today in the sugar
schedule. The committee changed the
malt schedule again, increasing it from
70 to 30 per cent duty. The duty on
cut diamonds has been reduced l5 per
cent in the first bill to the present rate
of 10 per cent.

DEMOCRACY AND GOLD.

There seems to be much unnecessary
figuring by bankers, by statesmen and
by financiers, in accounting for the ex-
traordinary flow of gold from America
to Europe. The reason for it ali is not
only a very simple one, but one which is
illustrated to an calculation every month
III the year. Every once in a while
some bank goes under, not from any
mlsmanagement nor because of a sudden
run, but from the fact that from distrust
growing out of some occult influ-
ence its patrons lose their con-
tidence and leismely and quietly
withdraw their deposits. There
exists this kind of a run on America bv
the holders Of securities abroad. The
cause of the distrust was the triumph of
the Democratic party last fall. For the
first time IN thirty years that party.
which preCipitated the rebellion and
which stands pledged to free coinage, is
back into complete power. holding the
presidency not only, but both the house
and senate, after March 4th. The result
created no panic, OUT ala Europe became
doubtful Of the consequence on the value
of the American money, and the holders
of untold millions of American
railway and other securities commenced
sending the same quietly back TO Wall
street brokers in New York, with in
structions to cash them as occasion offer
ed and to make returns in gold.
This Is all there Is to the
present drain, and it viii doubt
less continue until at least one
session of Cieveland's congress has con-
WINGED the world that there is to be no
revolution IN the legal currency OF
America. If there should De none. all
the gold that has been withdrawn will
seek reinvestment n the same class Of
securities.

THE BIG FOOL LEWELLING.
From the Kansas City Journal

| From the Kansas City Journal
Kansas is ahead still. The Sandwich
| islands held the record a few days, but the
Republican side of the contested house oil
representatives in Topeka appealed tC
force and precipitated the worst din and
racket of the season.
Technically the Douglass house had a
perfect right to suppress Ben Rich. It is
the only house with legal status. Rich
was a disturbance and could be with pro-
priety treated like any other invader.
But a 10-year-old boy could nave for
seen that trouble would ensue.
Now the capitol grounds present sight
that is enough to excite in every ecent
citizen of Kansas hot desire for an Oliver
Cromwell. If both houses could be
bundled off to their homes Kansas would
be easier in mind.
And Governor Lewelllng must be the
biggest fool of the lot. Ever since he was
inaugurated he has exhibited symptoms
of a mania for being commander-in-chief
of an army in the field. He began to talk
about ordering out the militia before be
had an adjutant general.
Sieges and storming parties are queer
things in a dispute between two sets of
claimants to Legislative seats.
There is law and Kansas has courts for
its Interpretation. If neither side in this
struggle for seats can bring test case be-
fore the courts let them both keep on pass
ing their bills and peacefully trust to
events. That would at least be harmless
Kansas can do without new laws much
more safely than it can do without OBJ
servance of the conventionalities of civili-
cation in the state house. The whole
state must accept blame for the confusion
at Topeka.
One lawless act causes another. The
Dunsmore house broke the law in forcing
its organization. The letter rumpus all
proceeds from that original Populist sin.
If the Populists had begun as self-respect-
ing citizens they would have avoided the
disgrace the of performances of yesterday
and the day before have brought upon the
state.
Like the Mckinley bin the Peoples
party has destroyed itself by demonstrat-
ing how bad it could be and by exposing
the innate evil of its doctrine. After the
events of this winter the Populists may
as well disband as a political organiza-
tion. Kansas likes novelties and
progress, but it has an aching fullness
of Populist politics. II no blood is spilled
and the whole contest is personally good
natured-the winter has not been without
its utility. The Peoples party has run to
seed rapidly, and the seed are in process of
as rapid decay.
What would immensely please the citi-
zens of the state, since the law is being
played with anyhow, would be for an
officer of the militia to assume command
aud keep both houses out of the hall until
one presents a plain title to possession.
No such dernier resort is likely; nor is it
defensible. But it would fit the feeling of
the hour. And it would not be worse than
Lewelhng's foolishness

HINDOO HOUSEHOLDS.
'Doing Up the Work Comparatively

'sDoing Up the Work" a Comparatively
Easy Task.
The Hindoos never pile their dishes
''helter SHELTER in the dish pan, rs
| some of their American cousins do In

hang soiled dish-cloths or tea towels on
line to dry, and then use them again.
without rinsing; neither is their sink
or slop-bucket ever greasy or grimy.
Hired girls never break the cups and
| saucers, plates and bowls, in their IN
due haste to finish their work. for, first,
they are never in hurry, and second,
there are no dishes to break.
The common people of India have
neither glassware. silverware, cutlery
nor dishes. Sometimes each member
of the family is provided with a brass
drinking vessel and deep plate of the
same material, though often one will sui
fee for the entire family. They are very
foss of curry and rice and rice soup,
which they eat very deity with neither
spoons, forks nor chopsticks. Their
bread being served IN the form of a
tough, unleavened pancake, portion
OF this does duty as spoon.
They are exceedingly particular
about keeping their brass dishes clean
and bright, but would laugh at the
idea of using dishpan to wash them
in, or a dishcloth to rub them, or a
towel upon which to dry them. They
rinse them with hot water, scour with
sand, rinse again, then place them in
the sun to dry. A sink is entirely IN
necessary, the mud floor being not
only sufficient as work table, upon
which to prepare dinner but to do up
the work, on after dinner, as well.
There is never one vestige of food
left upon the plates, every particle
having been soppek up and eaten,
hence there is no slot pail. The moth
ers do not encourage their children to
habits of untidiness by allowing them
to wear oilcloth bibs or permitting a
square of oilcloth to be placed under
each plate, nor are the little ones al
lowed to use high chairs having little
tables in front, either
But could you see them, you would
certainly wish that they had had some
thing to keep the food off their clothing
and faces, too. AS for tables and chairs
they never heard OF such luxuries. Of
what use would tables be to them, they
think. Why desire chairs when they
can sit so easily upon the mud floor?
To be sure the floor is not always
clean, but they are accustomed to dirt,
and upon some feast-day they will hire
one of the sweeper caste to come in and
clear up for them. Unless they belong
e. this caste themselves they foolishly
will not sweep, even if they mired in
dirt The Weather high caste fami-
lies have the house swept each day by

small twigs removes all the trash from
the floor.
The water carrier makes daily rounds,
carrying in goat skin the water he
has obtained from the public well.
Sometimes this water is clean and
sometimes not, but it is used never
theless, for drinking, cooking and
washing dishes. Ella B. Simmons, in
