FoRDiNG A CHINESE RIVER.
A Travellers Strange Experience In the
Land OF Pigtails.


Traversing the country from south
west to northeast, and in pouring
rain, we visited the villages of Si-kou-
wing Hao-kwei-ying and Sang-yein.
Here the women, dressed in their best
clothes, stood watching us on the door
steps, which would have been quite a
pretty sight, with their multi-color
jupons and trousers, had the effect not
been partly spoiled by the horrible de-
formity of their feet squeezed into
microscopic shoes. l possess pair of
these shoes as worn by mandarin's
wife, and the length of them is only
three inches Toward noon we reached
Ya-lo-wan, on the banks of the Hung-ho
river, miserable village on a minu-
scule kill of yellow earth. The river
had to be waded
A Chinaman-a bcggar, thought
volunteered to take animals and men
safely across Tor G. SIM of money, for he
said there were large holes In the river
bed. in which our animals would have
lost their footing had we crossed by
ourselves would not employ him, RS
hate to be imposed on by humbugs;
and knowing the little way which these
gentlemen have of digging large holes
on purpose in the river bed while dry
in summer, so as to extort money from
timid travellers, proceeded to sell
him.
I'guided my mules not right across
the water, for the holes are generally
dug where most unaware people are
likely to cross, but a few yards further
up, therefore landing every one safely
on the other side, with the exception
of one donkey, who, in strict similarity
with all the evil spirits OF China, in
sisted on going on his own ACCOUNT in a
straight line il front Of his nose, with
the result that when he reached the
middle of the stream he fell into one Of
the holes, and, with the weight Oh the
load he was carrying, disappeared.
Only the point of his ears could be seen

man, if 1 may call him 50, who had
eagerly been watching for this, ran IN
the water to his RESCUE and saved his
life, for whichact duly rewarded him.

THE LAW MAKERS OF GERMANY.
Powers and Limitations OF the Imperial
Legislature.

Powers and Limitations or the Imperial
Legislature.
Unjust he remembered that the Ger
man system of government is federal,
i. c.. that the powers of government
are divided between two sets of gov
ornamental organs, via, the imperial
government and the states As is.usual
in such a system, the powers Of the
central government are enumerated
and the powers of the states are resid-
uary.
The imperial legislature can there
fore legislate only upon given subjects
enumerated in the constitution.
These subjects are, briefly, foreign
relations, foreign commerce, interstate
commerce, the monetary system, the
military system, the naval system, the
imperial revenue, citizenship the iiq-
perial territories the civil law, and
criminal law-the same subjects that
are assigned by the constitution Of the
United States to congressional legisla-
ton, with the very important addi-
lions of the topics of civil or private
law and criminal law. The power of
the congress of the United States in re-
gard to these topics is distinctly linn
;ted, and the general power over them
is reserved to the states. In fact, the
chief work of the states in legislation
is the modification. supplementing and
adjustment of the common law in re-
gard to private rights and crime.
1t will thus be seen that the legisla-
tive powers Of the German imperial
legislature are vastly greater than
those of the congress of the United
States, while the legislative powers of
the German states, as compared with
those of the states of this Union, are
geduced in the same proportion. The
German statesmen and jurist had the
constitution of tbs United States be-
fore them in the fashioning ei their
own, and deliberately chose'to depart
from it Ia this respect, and have one
civil or. private law and one criminal
law for the whole empire. Evidently
to them the federalism of the future is
to be federalism in administration
rather than in legislation. -Chau-
Iauaua. -

RANK DEMAGOGUERY.


1t was the rankest kind Of dema-
goguery for the editor of newspaper
when addressing a street assembly of
workingmen. who were making a DEM
onstration for the purpose of obtaining
employment, to make it the occasion
for party harangue. The insinua-
ton that their troubles were due to
the Democratic party was in the worst
of taste as well as inferentially IN
true.
Telling them "the next time you so
to the polls to vote don't vote for the
Democratic ticket was no relief to
their distress, but was as much as to
say that such voting was the cause of
it. That was unworthy Of the speaker
and inappropriate to the occasion.
If, as he contends, the demonetiza-
ton Of silver is the root and cause of
the troubles of the times, it was the
Republican party that did the work. If
by neglecting or refusing to pass a
silver bin such as he thinks, would be
the panacea for every social i'll Con-
gress did a wrong, the Republican
party is if anything as vehemently op-
posed to such measure as any Demo-
crat can be-
Party politics should. in common de-
cency be kept out of the discussion
Of local relief for local lack of labor,
and people of all parties should unite
to alleviate the prevailing distress.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-02-15


democratic party made its campaign
ON false pretenses. and will not carry
out what it assured the country it
meant TO do
| The Herald responded and this is
an extract from our reply:
Reform of the tariff was the issue.
That is as we'll known TO the paper
that published the foregoing falsehood
as to anyone else. The doctrines of
the party were explained in a weekly
New York publication, familiar to
called Tariff Reform. The volume
containing Hon. William M. Springer s
speeches. which was largely circulated
throughout the land, was also called
Tariff Reform" 1t was the slogan of
the party, and coupled with the name
of Cleveland it was the cry that led
| to victory and cast down the party
of high tariff and rolled in into the
ditch
But the Tribune kept up the con-
troversy from day to day declaring that
tariff smashing was what the Demo-
cratic party was pledged to,
"And yet that is what the Demo-
Iclatic Ways and Means committee are
now declaring they do not mean to do
! at al"
| Thus it VIII be seen beyond ques-
ton that The Herald favored hearings
on the tariff question from the various
industries to be affected by the new
tariff bill, while the Tribune ridicuIed
and opposed those hearings, and now
lit cannot find epithets strong enough
to hurl at the Senate committee for
not listening to a repetition of the
same arguments and pleadings!
Observe too that in the controversy
as to tariff reform, in its editorial
of September 13 the Tribune admitted
the hearings were to be ON the tariff
reform bill'' but three days later find
ing its attacks on the committee for
granting the hearings incompatible
with that admission, it denied that
tariff reform was ever contemplated
or mentioned by the Democratic party.
The Herald has never expressed any
wish that Mr.. James or any other
gentleman competent to present the
claims of the many interests of Utah
before our national legislators should
be denied a hearing. The insinuations
about him are of the same character
as the other contradictions and base
assertions of the paper which opposed
those hearings in toto last September.
and now pretends to be insulted, on
behalf of gentlemen who need none of
its hypocritical defense, because hear
ings cannot be had over again.
These references to a paper that
shifts its ground as the weather vane
turns with the wind, have been made
necessary by its endeavors to put The
Herald in wrong light before the
public We are aware that mention of
that paper is offensive to many of our
readers and therefore make this ex-
PLANTATION. We would prefer that this
clashing should cease, but silence is too
often construed to mean defeat or
inability to reply. That is our apology.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-02-15
SOME HOPE FOR SILVER.

The Herald has given reasons why
there is a probability of a renewed
effort to settle the silver question by
international agreement, and that it
viii originate or at any rate be greatly
promoted in Europe That, in our
opinion, will be the best way of plac-
ing silver on a permanent footing as a
money metal.
It is the plan supported in the Demo-
cratic platform adopted at Chicago in
1892 1t would keep the silver dollar
on parity with the gold dollar abroad
as well as at home And notwithstand-
ing all the buncombe INDUCED in by
some silver champions about Ameri-
can independence of the world. it must
be admitted by rational people that
agreement on finance with all the lead
ing nations would be far better for the
United States than an attempt to stand
alone. Our commercial relations are
such that international harmony on
this question must of necessity be
more for our benefit than discord, par
ticularly if the European nations
should stand together and this country
take an opposing attitude.
That there is some likelihood of a
movement in Europe favorable to sill
yer, as The Herald has several times
intimated, Notwithstanding the sneers
Of the pretended fount of all silver
wisdom in the west, is corroborated in
a special dispatch to the Chicago Tri-
bune. from which we make the follow
ing extract:
If declines like that of this week con-
dnue long Great Britain will be in a
bad way. 1t has colonies vitality close
to it that cannot stand the strain of
such silver depression. Other foreign
nations are in much the same shape.
They are facing grave penalties for the
shameless way in which they have
treated the greatest of financial Dues
tons, and unless some way of escape
not now discernible opens it looks as
If dreadful disaster might go crashing
during 1894 through all Europe.
1t can be taken for settled now that
England and Germany viii be mighty
glad to back down from the superior
airiness which they affected at the re-
cent intelinational silver conferences.
Another conference has got to come.
but this time it will not be the United
States which has to make the plea for
it. The other nations. those hitherto
opposing, will seek it now. They al
ready are well over the pomposity with
which they strutted at the last con-
ference.
With new international silver con-
ference, and such a conference is sure
to come soon, there will probably be
effected much that will have tonic
effect on financial conditions all over
the world. There are indeed quiet in
timauons that correspondence by cable
has been under way within the last
week between Washington and Lon
don.
