A Good Idea.
Tue matter of personal contact
is all that our sentimental "Father-hood-of-
God-and - brotherhood-of-man,"
brethren of the East need
to find out for themselves what
kind of a factor in our civilization
"the little brown man is." Dis
cussing the question of forbear
ance under present grievance the
Alta sajs; "China is shipping us
every month more coolies than
there are Europeans in -all the
treaty ports of her Empire. We
see no means of rodross except by
forcing a few thousand -coolies on
the East. Let us flood Now Eng
land witli those jaundiced slaves
and see how thoy like them. If we
send them a cargo they cannot
keep them out, unless thar can
prove that what is law for San
Francisco is not law for Boston.
We propose to wait until wo see
what shall bo tho final outcome of
our trouble and then to net
promptly and vigorously. If we
hurt tho laborers of the East, thoy
have only themselves to thank,
but we -are only stating cool and
unvarnished facts when wo say
that in twenty-four hours we can
raise enough money to transport
two or three thousand Tartars to
the delioato and civilied centres
of culture in tho East, and that
when wo make up our mind to do
it thero wiil'bo no diflioulty in ac
complishing our purpose, the Six
Chineso Companies and thoir
Minister notwithstanding-" It
would bo a good plan. "Seeing is
believing" in this case.
Ix tho ordinary course of ovents
the stage-coach, tho post-route and
the railroad anto-dato tho tole
graph; Roversing this order of
progress, tho King of Siam pro
poses to begin with tho telegraph
and will proceed at onco to con
struct several lines connecting ro
moto points of his kingdom.
Tho railroad will doubtleii follow
in due time somo day; after his
people acquiro tho knack and un
derstand the utility of letter-writing,
wo shall begin to hear of the
Si am mail service and tho still
higher civilization that demands
tho expedition of Star ruuto con
tracts. Tnc Senate Committee on Ter
ritories proposes to -make the ad.
mis iion of Dakqta depsnd upon
tho result of a consus to be taken
next July. The number of inhab
itants required is left for tho Sen
ate to determine, but it is pre
sumably tiio quantity sufficient to
entitle tho proposed stato to a
member of Congress. Practically,
thorefore, if everything else is fa
vorable, tho admission of the stato
will depend upon tho individuals
who take tho census. If they fa
vor the scheme tho quota of people
will be found within tho proposed
limits, whether they are nctually
there or not.
Ovke one hundred and six thou
sand dollars, said to bo the largest
sum ever contributed ior such a
purpose in so short a time, of
which seventy-five thousand dol
lars was raised in Cleveland, tho
remainder in overy state and ter
ritory, and foroigu countries as
well, have already been given for
a monument to President Garfield.
It is proposed to make the work
national and apportion tho entire
sum to be raised, two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, after assign
ing one-half to Ohio, among tho
different states and territories in
proportion to wealth and popula
tion. Tho American people have
shown their appreciation pf tho
late President in more ways than
one and thoy will be only too wil
ling to raise the sum now lacking to
make the fund complete, whenever
the monumental association shall
bo organized and the collection
and disbursement of the fund
systematized, which, from all ap
pearance will not long be delayed.

a war with two countries so thor
oughly equipped as aro German'
and Austria, not only in standing
armies, but in trained generals to
load them, and at the same time
united in almost every interest.
If she should finally conclude to
do so it would no doubt involve
Europe in a general war, iu which
France and Italy would play no
quiet part. It is not impossible
that the magnificent armament of
Europe and the readiness of al
most overy country for war will
for a time preserve its peace.
Me. Teescott, under his new
instructions, seoms to luvo fallen
in with tho Chilean governni it
iu its demand for certain indem
nity from tho conquered state of
Peru, as ho has suoceeded in en
tering into an agroument with the
former country, which cedes T.ira
paca a money indemnity of $20,
000,000, together with tho mili
tary occupation of all southern
Peru until this sum is paid, and,
besides all this, half of Peril's
guano island?. Almost anybody
could have nvido such a peace ai
this, as it is re.illy the conceton
of all that Chili demanded. With
Mr. Trescott'.s aid Chili, with much
show of yielding, has consented
to these terms as soon as Peru
can make or find a president who
is satisfactory in overy way to
tho victorious country, and who,
to secure his olection, will jump
at the chance to become presi
dent over a dismantled country.
It has been generally understood
that this countrj sont an envoy
into South America to preserve
tho autonomy of Peru and Bolivia,
and riot to minister to the greed
of Chili. Instead, however, of
doing this good Samaritan sort of
work ho now turns out, under a
revised foreign policy, as the as
sistant in tho division of the rai
ment of tho conquered country.
Few things more shameless have
been known iu tho diplomacy of
recent years than the part which
this country is permitting itv-Jf
to play in South Amonci. j
Th said that tho Chinese bill
veto was virtually the. work of tho
Chineso minister at Washington,
our gallant President, simply act
ing the part of an amanuensis,
ind recording what the yellow
ambassador dictated.
At the Jackson banquot of tho
Iroquois Club of Chicago, tho bill
of fara was printed in EnglUh,
This is a reform of sufficient im
portance to merit recognition in
the next Democratic national con
vention. Feoji the way they talk at Ber
lin Minister Sargent is not likely
to receive a unanimous welcome.
The American newspapers have
got there ahead of him.
