Chinese Retaliation.
At tho time tho Chinese emigra
tion bill was discussed it was under
stood that the Chinese Government
represented that thoy were indifferent
to tho matter and readily assented to
the treaty which was made tlio basis of
restrictive legislation. It appears, how
over, that tho impression received that
China was oblivious to tho enactment
of thu anti-Chinese bill was erroneous
and that the position of the United
States in this matter is deeply resented.
Tlio Department of Stato is informed
that every means is being adopted by
that government to drive Americans
from the Kmpiio. Onerous restrictions
nro placed upon their business and now
enterprises aro entirely prohibited if
conducted by Americans. Tho latter
lind it inoio convenient to leave tho
country than to remain in tho face of
such difficulties, ns it is absolutely im
possible, it is reported, for them to car
on their business, owing to tho retalia
tofy measures resorted to by tho Chi
ncso authorities.
The Day of Petty Abuses.
Mr. William E. Chandler has had his
peace of mind disturbed for a day or
two over tho easo of a negro messenger
named Dlaok, who makes tho charge
that lie was dismissed from his place
because of his refusal to do menial
work for boiuo insignificant head of a
bureau in thu Navy Department.
As to the merits of this caso no
special knowledge is had other than tho
servant's statement and tho official's ile
uinl of its truth. 15ut there is no reason
why it shuild not bo true. Tho govern
ment departments and bureaus are
honeycombed with just such abuses.
Theio is scarcely a head of one of these
divisions who does not secure a consid
erable part of his personal service from
his employes at the expenso of the gov
ernment. Door-keepers, hall-porters,
messengers and coachmen nro required
to do the little work imposed upon them
by tho public- and then to do personal
scrvlco for their chiefs or their families.
Many of them drive tho family car
liago to and from tho theatro or other
places at night. Others do household
work, while 6till others do oven moro
menial labor. Tho result is that picay
une politicians who peihaps never knew
the luxury of having their shoes polish,
ed, unloss they did it themselves, nnd
who novel kept a carriage before, soon
import some faithful negro from their
homes and pension him on tho govern
ment, with no other purpose than to
havo their work dono for nothing. Tho
samo thing is true of tho public- car
liages, so that tho government is pluck,
cd on every ham).
This may bo a small nbuse, but it
must not bo forgotten that tho majoiity
of tho men who 1111 these places aro
necessarily small. That it is petty lar
ceny is true, yet many men who will
get on tho stump to proclaim tho glor
itu of themselves and their party prac
tice it and nil combined they make up
a pretty largo abuse in tlio course of a
year, even from n financial standpoint,
l'hu old days wero not halcyon in every
respect, but there weio few men who
had the audacity to pension their coach
men ami cotillions on thoTieasury.

I heard scufilincr in Mr. Dukes' room

Mr. Dukea said:-"IIo came here to

and in the meantime ho was fumbling
around his clothes and drew out his re

and fired.
THE l-OllTKIl's STORY.
Louis Williams was sworn :-I was
working at Mr. Jennings IIouso at thu
time Capt. Nutt lost his life. Mr.
lireekinridgo caino to me that morning
nud,asked where Mr. Dukes' room wns.
I saw Capt. Nutt Btanding right at tlio
upper hall door. 1 next saw Capt. Nutt
at tho other hall door. I knocked nt
Mr. Dukes' door myself, and Mr. Dukes
opened the door. I stepped asido nnd
Mr. Breckinridge said ho did not want
to see Mr. Dukes but that Capt. Nutt
did. Capt. Nutt was then looking in
the door. Mr. Dukes said "como in."
Mr. Nutt went in nnd I think Mr.
Dukes closed thu door. I went down
two steps and I heard scuhTuig nnd
also heard somo ono call "Breekintidgo"
three times. Mr. Feather got in tho
ooin first. Nutt and Dukes werescuf
lling as thousjh trving to throw each
other down. Mr Breckinridge caught
hold ot Mr. Nutt's coat and pulled him
back. Then Mr. Nutt had his riirht
hand upon tho mautlo piece.

all the men had got upstairs I heard
scullling on thu floor in Mr. Dukes' room.
1 suppose it commenced ns soon as thov

opened the door that leads to thu hall

ported a set of resolutions, among which
aro tho following:

ACTION 01' TIIK I.KOISl.ATUlii:.
Dukes was elected a member of tho
Legislature last fall, but on account of
his difficulty with Capt. Nutt, ho did
not appear on the 1st of December to
bo sworn in office. On Monday tho
matter of claiming his seat in the legis
lature was brought up for consideration
and referred to a sub-coommitteo ot
live member of tho houso judiciary
committee. Thu committee decided on
Tuesday to "recommend tho expglsion
of Nicholas L. Dukes, without a hear
ing, on tho grounds time 78 days of tho
session havo passed and ho has not
offered to tako oath." Tho committee
should havo had the courage to recom
mend his expulsion, on tho ground
that hu was nu unmitigated scoundrel
and unfit to nssociato with honest
men.
A Combination in Iron.
During the past two weeks a combi-
nation has been formed in thu south
composed of nil coku iron furnaces in
tho states of Tennessee, Alabama and
Georgia, with thu exoeption of the
Oakdale, Teniicssee, furnace, to bo
known as the southiru coku associa
tion. Thu object is to obtain and
maintain a uniform eoalu of prices, and
prevent indiscriminate competition mid
trickery of all kinds. A uniform scale
of prices hiu been agreed upon nmi
agents are required to stiiotly abide
thereby. It places all brands of iron
on the same platfoim, io that a furuaco
making nu iron of low standard will
get the samo prico as for high standard,
that is, if they sell any. Thu advanta

READING FOR BOYS.
Notwithstanding tho fact that books
havo multiplied until theio is scarcely
a single subject upon which a volume
has not been written, the number
learned scholars and statesmen of tl
present age does not seem to have increns
ed proportionately with tho faeihli
jiow afforded for obtaining knowledge
on all subjects. Uno great cause for
this condition of things is that th
minds of our boys nnd young men nro
not properly directed in tho matter of
general reading. lMrenfs seem to
satisfied if their sons go to school
few yenrs, and gain a supeifieial know
euge oi wnai is contained between tho
eovirs of their text books. Many young
men who nro considered bright students
may oven pass through college with
good record, and yet como out with lit
tlo or no knowledge of a general char
acter. They may be ablo to read Greek
ami Jiatin, to solvo geometrical iirob
Ictus, to name thu constellations, and
explain thu motion of thu planets, to
dcsoiibe tho chemical foices, but all
this is the result of routine work, and
in a few years tho information thus
gamed slips fioni them. Their knowl
edgo of history and of the great qucs
tions of tho day, of political economy,

Freight Discriminations.

tho bill simply enacts the language of
the constitution, provides a penally of
$1000, and leaves to tho jury lho ques
tion ot tho injustice oi tlio discnuiina
lion, a railroad company gets into
merciless hands when it falls under tho
harrow of a jury, and probably the
Legislature could do uothing worse
to them than to hand them over to
a jury s care. Railroad officers hate
juries with great fervor. They havo a
very low opinion ot this great "paladi
urn" of our libcities; but tho public
generally lind the jury a very good in
slitulion, especially when in gives heavy
damages against a railroad. For thu
fact is that the people hate the railroad
managers ; that is the reason tho juries

So that on tho wholu the people havo

ino constitution says that overvoue

A Law to Jfrohlblt Treating.
A hill has been Intioduced into ihu
legislature by Senator Greer of Butler
county, the text of which is "to prohib
it persons from treating other persons to
intoxicating drinks, under a penalty of
$2i." Should this bill become a law it '
will prove very effective for temper
anco, 'l'hu Hiirrishiirg J'atriot in re
ferring to tho hill says as follows :
"It does not require tho gift of proph
ecy to seo thnf. tho passago of this bill
will materially circumscribe, if it dots
not completely obliterate, the piaetice
of drinking. Who over took a diink
nlone, before that period when hahil
had Income disease T Drinking is a
peciiliatly social custom. It is said
that in some of the old countries treat
ing is nn unknown practice, but is be
yond conception that such a state of
affairs could grow up here. It may bo
mat, niter many yenis of illort to
overcotno prejudice tho jovial young
fellow of the period will seat himself to
a solitary glass, but tho c' nuccs are so
decidedly against tins that tho temper
ancu .folk will prove their wisdom by
abondiug their plan of constitution tink
ering nnd concentrating nil their forces
in support of lho nntl treat act. Sena
tor Greer should bo canonized ns the
apostle of temperance reform.''
This bill strikes nt tho rools ot tern
peranco and is far preforablo to a bill
to regulato the manufacture of distilled
spirits uy certain laws, which is now
being so earnestly urged by tlio advo
cates of temperance. This bill should
ns it does, receive tho hearty npprovn
of all good citizens. Tho Philadelphia
a tines nas mis to say on tho sub
icct :
"Some of our esteemed contenipora
ries are disposed to poko fun at tho pro
posal oi senator Urcer to sto
treating in the interest of temperance,
Many funnier things could be found to
joko nbout. the idea did not ongi
nate with Senator Greer, but it is near
ly as good an idea as if it had. Tho
habit, which is purely American.
treating, probably leads to morodiiiiik
etiuess than any other thing. It is th
demoralization of young men who
go about together n great deal. They
treat each other and get diunk. Such
a thing is not done in any other conn
try, ami is very laro indeed that a man
gets drunk unles he is in company an
drinks because it is sociab e. It is not
likely that Senator Greer will bo abl
to get jus proposition adopted at
leasi not in liarrisburg but it wouldn
ou a uau ining ai all it he con d suo
cecd."
