a Curfow Club.

The married ladies OF Elko ere con.
sidering the ~advisability Of forming a
curfew club to get the:r husbands
home at 1880 every >vening. The
plan which meets with the most favor
is to have one Of their number ring
the curfew Mt 7:l5 ever evening and
il their husbands are cot promptly
seated at home with their boots off
by 1870, the members OF the club are
to be immediately notified Of the de.
hnquents and the club, armed with
rolling-pins, potato Washers, fiat
irons or any old thing within their
reach, is to march down town ON a
hunting expedition. The delin-
quents, il caught, are to be battered
all out OF shape and taken home for
repairs. 1t is thought by those hay
ing the matter in charge that one
dose Of this treatment will cure the
most stubborn case. AS many OF tho
married ladies are at the train every
evening, the INDEPENDENT is rather
doubtful OF the success of the plan.
There is one Ire thing about it,
however, and that is, il the club is
formed, the INDEPENDENT man will
get home promptly on time every
evening.

THE CHINESE IN NEW yonTS.

Mott street. the Chinese quarter In
| New York. will soon be thing oil the
past and "siummers" must seek else
where for novelty and picturesque vice.
/. has recently been decided by the great
Tammany leaders that this section or the
city must be eliminated in order TO make
way for certain municipal improvements
wbirh involve the widening Of many
streets.
For wears this section Of New York has
been regarded as one Of the chief novel;
ties OF the city. Here the heather Chl-
nee I'm all his Oriental glory resides ana
prospcrs and perpetuates the customs OF
his native land. His contact with ad-
varced civilization has wrought no I'M
movement in his morals. and efforts AT
his reformation have only increased his
sins. Opium joints. low theatres. and
other hot-beds Of iniquity flourish. and
attract around themselves some Of the
most desperate characters Of the great
metropolis. In many cases the Chinese
have intermarried with other races, and
though the population OF this quarter is
primarily Monaghan. it contains hete-
rogeneous mass Of humanity which abso-
lutely refuses to he respectable.
This fact. connected with the strange
ness OF such conditions in an American
city. has always made Mott street an OBJ
jcct Of interest. Visitors in New York in
variably seek the neighborhood. and the
Chinese have grown to expect and TO
countonance such invasions. Indeed. reg
ular preparations are made for tourists.
Joss houses. restaurants. and theatres are
open to them. and in some instances
these establishments have been elegantly
fitted up.

20 the Editor of the Dispatch:
As a member OF the Richmond Chamber
Of Commerce, have read with much in
terest your several editorials advocating
such schedules for outgoing trains at
Richmond as will admit of an early dis
tribution of our daily papers over all the
lines, and l have also read the communi-
cation in last Sundays Dispatch, signed
Business relating TO the subject. The
editorials in question must certainly carry
conviction to the minds of your Richmond
readers that as community, we are
placed at vast disadvantage in reaping
all those fruits which come TO business
centre represented by live newspapers, ex-
tensively distributed and read: and that
we also fail TO enjoy the special influence
and benefits which might be derived from
our capital city being looked TO as the
most convenient source of current news

and the editorial discussion of the issues
and problems OF the day.

AS the New York Times analyses IT,,
Admiral SIMPSONS letter to the Presi-
dent represents a case Of magnanimity
that was not magnanimous. After ar
guing that Sampson asks of the President
an impossible thing. and expressing the
opinion that Mr.. Mckinley will not con-
sent to make such an unjust. illogical.
and amazing record" the Times says:
admiral Sampson does not ask that
the nominations be renewed. emitting his
own name. He refers to certain officers
named by me for promotion. 1t will be
remembered that he declined 10 name

his case. Moreover, he suggests the re-
nomination only of those officers about
whom there is no discussion lie main
tans toward Admiral Schey the un-
worthy attitude assumed in his letter Of
July 10th to the department"
In the light Of the Illness little analy-
sis, it would appear that the next time
Sampson undertakes to write magnani-
mo1s letter he would better take care
that he does not blot further his own
reputation.

Inc DOStOn t1tidlu says.
We have taken a first step which may
compel us to take others. Mr.. Joan
Hay. our Secretary of State. has au-
thoriZed the statement that there will
be no participation by the United States
in the alleged intention of foreign Pow
ers TO partition China. This country sees
TO reason for any change in its past or
present policy relating to the Chinese en-
pire." But a year ago at this time our
country saw not the least reason for a
change Of its then existing policy re-
speeding the Philippine Islands. Expert
ence has shown that our policy is shaped
by events, and that events are not neces-
sarily the outgrowth Of our policy. What
Secretary Hay calls our past or present
policy relating TO the Chinese empire" is
the result Of national conditions as they
have existed. or do now exist. in China;
but if these materially change, If parti-
ton takes place. there is no means of
continuing this policy, much as we might
desire to do so.
The significance OF the TIcrald's remarks
will be better appreciated when 1t is
stated that it Topped from a position of
staunch anti-imperialsm to a place very
close to the President.
