What Htph CMt Chinaman 8jW In n Interview in Chknigo. A Chicago dispatch ay: "Chii Vu hitip, it high cale young China man, who has len attending chool nt I'ari for Iho past three year, is ni the Hiihelien. on hi way home In Chin.1. He will M.nil three day here, anil then proceed to San Fran cico. He ha letter lo Consul Bee ninl a? ho expect to devote couple of neck to the const c ity he ha heard o much almut. In n hoi I talk here today he raid: " 'It ia a mistake to stipnoro tlmt China will be represented at the world' fair by an oflicial exhibit. The L'hineae government did not and will hot reply to the invitation extended by the Ynited States gov ernment to lake part in the exjiwi tion. You paw laws forbidding our people to land on American toil, and you can scarcely exn-et us to lie so grateful for such treatment as to lend our aid for vour glorification. A syndicate of Chineae merchant, aided by French capital, will have an exhibit of Chinese products and manufacture at the fair, if .space cun bo obtained, and it is to obtain information on that oiul that I am here. The Chinese dislike of for eigner is born of bitter experience. Time and again foreigners have been well received in China, only to repay their benefactor with treachery, avarice and greed, utterly regardless of the rights of the jicople whose guest they wore. Itcjxjntcd ex periences of this kind have made the Chinese think that all foreigners art' enemies, and in too many in stances this opinion has been veri fied by the acts of foreigners. The missionaries of China are a hind rance to the progress of western thought and the adoption of western customs. The missionaries assume an air of superiority mental, moral, roligioiis and every other way over our people that amuses the' intclli--gant and educated Chinamen, but angers very much the ignorant. We have our own religion ami are satis fied with it. Were a Chinese mis sionary to come to America, and among the ignorant. sujH'r.-titious Christians preach sermons in which he ridiculed, sneered, and blasphem ed at your Cod, at Jesus Christ, and all the forms of your leligion and civilisation. I can fancy he would occasionally meet rough treatment from the jsHijile whose faith he was publicly outraging. Western in lluonce in China would be benefited by tho withdrawal of the mission aries.

The man's labor pay only the in terest of the debt, however small it may be; and his ole chance of re covering his freedom is if a friend or relative pay the original turn. Should the debtor run away, his wife and children, his father, or otlior relative, are liable to be seiz ed.

Church and state are kept pretty distinctly apart in the 1'iiitcd Slates a fact that causes a number of re ligious monomaniac great distress. Still in some cases the line of tie marcatiou is not very pronounced, as witness some of the legislation regarding the observance of Sunday. The (iotl in thc-constitulion rcople clamor for some legal admission that we aro a Christian nation, and they sometime get it. I'p in Washington the legislature has no authority to pay a chaplain how ever. The chaplain of the I'niled Slates senate this year in hi first jirayer of the session prayed long ami loud; his eirort was a fine literary produc tion but there was no reference in it to Christ except in one expression "Prince of jieaca." The prayer was no more Christian than it wa Jew ish or Mohammedan. Tho law prescribing a new design for silver coins docs not provide for tho "In Cod wo Trust" motto, though the designer has taken the liberty of placing the phrase on the coin. It seems to have been pur posely omitted in the law, and its ap(earanee ukii the new coins will be entirely unwarranted. As early a 17s7 there was a pretty clear definition of the attitude of this government upon Christian ity. In the treaty with Tripoli, made that year, it stated that "the government of the I'nited States is in no sens! whatever a Christian government.'' In spite of nil the.e evidences there seems to lie a tendency to unite church matters with alfairs of state. The government appro priates a handsome sum annually to aid sectarian Indian schools, and in some states financial aid is given private denominational school. This insidious mixing :(" politics and religious element." will produco trouble sooner or later if por.-icvered in. Oregon City Kxpress. CHlNliSK OIKLS AS SLAVICS. The authorities of Victoria, II. C, have discovered in that city regular slave shambles, where the China men buy women as they would buy tea. An investigation has just re vealed the careers of six Chinese girls who arrived by the limpres of China about the middle of Ooto Ikt. These girls, ranging in age from 1 1 to I I years, were in charge of two old women. Immediately tijxm the arrival of the steamer they dlglKiscd of the two oldest for tMOO ami $1,100 rcsjicctivcly, but they bound the four youngest ones over to Liu You, a ianious procuress, with instructions to wait for a better market. On Monday last she sold them for $1,110, $1,010, $.v and $770 resectively, cash being paid down. Tuesday night Lo Lee, a low, re pulsive looking man, besotted with opium smoking, but dressed in a manner that at once pronounced him wealthy, carelessly 0wucd his disirs to the men w ho were search ing for the. girls. In the first room huddled in a native lied, were the two girls, but pale and with eye like those of hunted minimis. When questioned they told their tale in a plain, straight forward manner. Ilrielly, they were slaves, living in dread of their owner anil forced to immoral lives; this in the principal street of Victoria, 200 yards from the city hall. More Indian troubles are brewing over the decision of the interior de partment to the effect that half breeds on the Sioux reservation are not entitled lo the same right as the Indians themselves in the allot ment of their laud in severalty. The half-breeds retort that if such is the case the necessary majority w as not obtained to secure tin- allot ment, as their votes were all count ed in that connection, anil it was not questioned that they were en titled then lo the same right a their full-blooded brothers. Tho half-breeds seem to have rather tho best of the argument, but that is all the good it will do them, as the whites w ho are waiting for what the Indians do not iclect will see to it that the half-breeds do not gut much consideration. A strange idea of wifely duty come from California. The hus band was sick ami suffering, and requested thai his holler half put him out of misery.

Tho I'nited State agricultural doiartiiieitl ha discovered a goo lurry that grow on tree aud a Iiiuqk worry that 1ms no thorns. The Chilian autliorities have evi dently taken second look at the I'niled States, and filed it up more , nearly correctly than when thev i were minded by anger and egotinui. The sailing of the white squadron may have had something todowith this, and they have evidently given some heed to" the advice of their representatives in Washington. Now tliey are talking almul arbitra tion. This is the only decent way to settle such difference between civilixcd nations, but it ia wy that requires a bargain made by two. Another war-cloud is vanishing into thin air. Keening Telegram. Title sometime prove ridiculous. The men who usually volue them most, are iiuwt ridiculous. A few days ago the Seattle Pot-lntelli-', Bcnecr printed a picture of the well-, known Hlitician, J. S. Clarkson. I'nder the cut there appeared, "The Hog J. S. Clarkson, instead of "The Hon. J.

A comparison of the towns of Washington and Oregon shows that while the former has 27 towns of l.txx) population, tho latter ha but LI whose stipulation reaches that figure.
