The Chinese population at the
National Capital is increasing to
an alarming extent. The mongo-
lians say that Washington is good
place for them and that there will
be a large emigration of their coun-
trymen to that city during the next
few months. The highlander meth
DDS of San Francisco are coming
into vogue and there are frequent
feuds between the separate organi.
cations. The Chinese legation has
had to interfere to prevent murder.
GUS ARRAYS. The National Capital
is having an object lesson in the
many evils of having Chinese as
residents in the community, and
can now appreciate how much the
Pacific coast has suffered from the
plague of being overrun and crowd
ed out by thousands of the filthy
heather creatures, who pollute the
air We breathe with their presence.

Has no Renown in His Own Country.

President Cleveland must be
aware of his unpopularity in the
United States even with his own
party, but he can console himself
with the reflection that his English
admirers are as loyal to him as
ever, and that they still regard him
as the greatest President that this
country has ever had. A recent
letter to the New York Herald from
over the water says that Gle veland
is London idol, that the fnanciers
are his ardent admirers and heartily
indorse his financial policy, which
simply means, says the writer, that
Grover Cleveland is a traitor to bis
own country, for so diametrically
opposed are the interests Of the
two countries that an American
President who pleases the English
money power can be no friend Of
the struggling and working masses
Of his own countrymen. What en-
dears Cleveland to that class in
England is his pronounced hostili-
~ to bimetallism. It can be said
that Cleveland has been consistent
in his position on the money ques-
ton. From the time that he wrote
the famous Warner letter until to-
day he has never ceased to express
his antagonism to silver as money,
nor has he ever attempted to con-
ceal his sympathy with the gold
bugs. Grover Cleveland, 90 far,
has been the favorite child Of for.
tune, but if he attempts to secure .
third term in the White House, he
will soon find how far his hopes
come short of realization. He
may manipulate the political wires
80 as to receive the nomination,
though that is extremely doubtful,
but the campaign will end there.
II his friends acroes the ocean could
vote for him the result might be
different.

ing the stale chestnut that the fall
of prices is not due to demonetiza-
ton, but Is owing to new machinery

ton. Horr ought to be requested

ments made during the past two or

has been more noticeable than at
