Tin Chin's Terrible Experience with a

Tin Chin's Terrible Experience with a
Brutal Taskm aster.
1t Is said that the unfortunate
Cinnamon who go to Cuba to labor
under contract on the sugar planta-
tions there are held, the most of
them. in a state of slavery to which
the condition Of the negroes before
the war was paradise itself. Inc
following is related as a typical
case: One of the Cinnamon. Tin

His head was as smooth as billiard
ball, not vestige OF hair remaining.
His face was covered with long. deep
scars. the sight of one eye was lost,
his neck was distorted and his hands
were shriveled and bony.
Inquiry resulted in learning that
he had been the victim OF the wrath
OF notorious brutal Spanish planter.
One day. three years ago. when Tin
Chin and hundred other coolies
were transferring boiling sugar from
the watts in pals. the planter or over
seer stood at the entrance to the
sugar house, whip in hand, swapping

they, bending under the weight OF
the buckets, hurried past. Tin Chin
Jagged moment. The planter cut
the Chinaman with the whip, and be-
cause the latter wriggled under the
pain of the blow the brutal overseei
grabbed up "a bucket of the boiling
sugar and with an oath, deliberately
poured the contents down upon the
head of the Chinaman. He was
scalded from head to foot He fell
insensible at the feet of his tor
mentor, who savagely kicked the
Chinaman's PROSTATE body aside and
again took up his position at the
entrance, whip in hand ready at the
slightest provocation to fay alive the
next Chinaman who incurred his
wrath.
That night, under cover of dark
ness, some of Tin Chin's countrymen
carried him to his den, and there he
lay for months, lowering between
life and death. without medical
treatment other than that which the
coolies could afford him. Much
rather would the planter have seen
him die, for then Tin Chin's contract
would die with him, and no money
would have to be paid for Chin's long
years of service

MORALS AND GOOD ROADS.


The economic side of the good roads
question has been pretty effectually dis
cussed, and the farmer and everybody
else interested has been told how much
could be saved, in dollars and cents and
in wear and tear, by a thoroughly i'm
proved system of highways. And there
are few if any thinking people in the
country who will claim that the advo
Gates of the economic side have at all
exaggerated.
A writer in the Congregationalist takes
up the matter from the moral side, and
makes some good points, wholly devoid
of cant, in endeavoring to show how the
morals of community may be affected by
good or bad roads. He argues that as,
in the rural districts especially, attend
ance at church or the public schools is
seriously interfered with by bad roads,
the establishment of system of high
ways so substantial as to be but slightly
affected by the weather would conduce
to more general attendance at the
churches and at our educational institu-
tons, and so strengthen the morals of
the community.
The important part which poor roads
play in the result at the polls on election
day is familiar to most people, rs is also
the anxiety which politicians feel regard
ing the state of the weather and its effect
on the roads at such times; and the
writer in question deems it not unlikely
that bad roads have often stood in the
way of public moral advancement be-
cause they have kept voters away from
their duty OH election day. Another
point he makes thus:
No one doubts that civilization, and
with it moral culture, goes with free,
developed society. There may well be
over-crowding that leads to immortality,
but the higher life that comes from con-
tact with refined people, as well as many
of the agents of refinement and culture,
in the nobleSt sense of that abused word,
cannot be developed in solitude or in
crude, half-formed society. Our cOun-
try people suffer more than they or
others are aware from isolation. Good
roads, that would permit neighbors liv-
ing five or ten miles apart readily to
visit one another, whatever the season
of the year, would remove this evil"
1t cannot be denied that, in strictly
depressing effect on the church, school
and social life, and that if this evil can
be remedied a marked change for the
better is made not only possible but
probable. However weighty the argu.
ments on the economic side of this ques-
ton, there is much also to be found aud
said from the point of view taken by the
Congregationlist's writer. If improved
roads will thus tend to the development
of a moral culture among that large por-
ton of our people who are destined to
dwell in rural sections, certainly no one
will cry out as against the agitation,
which is now so widespread, in favor of
better highways; and the advocate Of
the moral side but gives additional force
to the economic argument for more rap
id and easy communication between
towns.-Caledonia

wants the next? Five different sizes and
