CURRENT COMMENT.
(Rockland Star.)

Ever since Thomas B. Reed was named
as a candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for the Presidency he has been blamed
by his political opponents for his persistent
silence on the silver question. His previous
attitude on the side Of sound money was
well known, but it has been claimed that
he was hedging for the support of the Silver
ties the coming National Republican con :
yention, and that he was afraid to speak out
| under existing circumstances AS the
Speaker of the Republican House he has
gone right along in the wise, careful, able
and impartial discharge of his official duties
paying no attention to the clamor on this
subject. He had no need to speak The
composition OF the ways and means commit
tee was his and he knew the make up and
sentiment of the House itself, and he could
afford to wait and let the committee and

Tho Ice Harvest in China.

(From the Philadelphia Times)
Within the limits of the American set
tlement of ths treaty port of Shanghai
are several ponds filed with from two to
four feet Of rain water In summer these
ponds are used by the washmen and for
irrigating neighboring paddy and rice
fields, while in winter the ice aocumulat-
ing is carefully preserved. The Chinese
themselves do not use ice for any pur-
pose, the most refreshing drink to them
in tho hot spells being boiling hot tea
without milk or sugar. Since the advent
of the foreigner the Chinaman has found
that 1T pays to preserve the soanty ice OF
Shanghai during the short winters. The
ice-houses surrounding the ponds are low
structures formed of wood, mud and
thick la els of salt hay, with the floors
raised slightly above the level of the
water. AdheIing to his general rule of
doing everything directly opposite to us
"barbarians,p John ChinamaD does not
believe in allowing the ice to form three
or more inches, but as soon as thin
skin has formed ne breaks it up and
pushes all through the narrow openings
Of the storehouses The breaking of this
thin ice makes it necessary for the poor
natives to wade up to the hips in the
water of the ponds, and With rakes and
hooks manage the ice SO that it can reach
the storehouses. This paddyfield ice.
owing to the filthy condition of the pond
water, is never used by Europeans for
ANYTHING but refrigerating purposes and
sells at from 90 to 30 cents per pioul or
1873 pounds. Several enterprising COM
panies have been formed in treaty ports
for thesmanufacture of ice, which is sold
for about 30 cents per hundred pounds.
