Editor's Chat.Would it not be well if one of the Patient Glean-

ers to the Kastward would take more pains withhis penmanship; particularly if ho is going to edu-

cate himself for business? He is too studious andcareful oil general principles to neglect this branchof bis education.

Look out for blots, girls. Recollect that a blot ona letter is like a grease spot on a dress. The be-

holder is pretty sure to judge the writer both care-

less and slovenly.Some of our correspondents would do well to re-

member that every proper word must begin with acapital; also, that a period is only used to close asentence

FnrBKiHoyTHECLtrn: In the debate, "Kesolved,That Chrnefce- immigration should be prohibited intho U. S.,' I' tafce the affirmative.

The Chinese are xt class of people who" adoptnone of our ways, as do other foreigners who comehere. They all go buck to China if they can. andif they do not go back, their bones are sent backwhen they die. They will work cheap when thereis plenty of help, and in consequence bring thewages down for others; but let help get soiree, andthe Chinamen charge as high, if not higher, thanothers.

I have never heard of but one Chinaman becom-ing naturalized; and think of how many there areia the U.S. Wlmt if all the foreigners who cometo the U. S. would do the way the Chinamen do;what kind of a country would we have?

When llie Chinamen will come to the U. S., cutoff their cuts, cat with a knife and fork, adopt ourcusbiovf and .become citizens, then should theyronie?but''6i'beTorel' TVe want our country

TIIC AFFIRMATIVE REITERATED.Fkiesus ok the Club: 1 am glad to see the Chi-

nese question brought up for debute. Nest to theliquor traffic it is the greatest curse of our State.Eastern people and those in the central States maysympathize with us. but they do not and cannotUndcr&Uitid the full measure of the evil. 1 haveseen it urged in defense of the Celestial, that he iscleanly, moral, temperate, and on all occasionsquiet and well behaved. To those who entertainfcuch opinions, 1 have ouly one answer to make:" Live uext door, or acroiw the stt eet. from a

in any of oar little towns, and judgeTor y&urbcit." There may be very nice peopleanions; the. upper classes in China, but it is not theupper chtssch who come here.

It L dreadful to think of the massacre of Chinesehi Wyoming aud Washington Territory, but theseriots are only bIuuIou--h of what will come if thelaws are not amended and enforced. It is not aquestion as to whether this evil shall or shall notbe dealt uith; it must be dealt with and tliatspeed-ily- .

Misd K. A. Wood, Arroyo Grande, Cal.THE CHINESE MUST GO.

Feiends ok tue Clcb: The Chin Ae must not beallowed to come to this country, even to makethemselves homes. They would come in suchnumbers unless checked and work so cheap thatit would drive out the Americans. A dense popu-lation aud ruinously low wages would makeAmerica a pauper country. Thin, they are hea-then and until the missionarieshave done their work in converting them, are notfit to become American citizens, even if thev de-sired to be. Charles Smith, Lu Bois City, Pa, "

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.Fjueo of hie Clue: I agree with Harry

Sloscr ou tho Chinese question. The Chinese areau ignorant, heathen people, and it certainly w illdo us no good to have aii.v thing to do with them.I think ail foreign immigration should be stopped.Our country ia rapidly tilling with foreigners ofevery nationality, who overpower us with theirnumbers. They wunt our laws to be as theirswere in the old country. Kitlie Wilcox, PlainsLuzerne Co.. Pa.

GRO.Frieni ok the Club: 1 have been a mutelistener to the debate uf the ncgroand Indian ques-

tion, but I now take the held in lavorof the Indian.The treatment of the Indians by the Spaniards formsone of the most terrible teconls in connection withthe history of the New World. io language cando justice to the cruelty that the poor but.atiir.itconfiding natives hulk-re-d at their hands. Theywere put into the mines and wutked to death; theyWere tortucd, burnt unci murdered. In the endWhole nations were blotted out of existence. '

One million two hundred thousand natives asStated on good authority, have been destroyed in afew years iu iiL-puno-ia alone. Is this not worseUian negro slavery? The natives, it is true, werejudous of the whites, but there was burnctlim"very brutal iu the way theEngli-- h treated themOS savages who had lew or no lights, whose richlauds were to be seized, and who, when they re-sisted, were to be blotted out of existence.

I enjoy reading the letters of the Club very much.I thought the essay on "Self Culture" splendid. Ialso think some of the debates very good. Cananyone tell me who Ixingfellow meant in "PaulKevcre's Bide" when he wrote

"And one was safe and asleep in bed,Who at the bridge would be first to fall,

Who that day would be lying dead.Pierced by a British musket ball."

I have been asked this question several times, nndhave never been able to answer it. Gertie Bowell,Fresno, Cal.

Though we take 11 papers 1 think The Tribunebest of all. We think " Uncle Duniel's Story " and

The Engine Thieves" just splendid. And 1 agreewith Waller A. Kaler's views. I do not like theway somegirlsask correspondents, aud to exchangephotographs, though I would like to hear iroiusome nice person. Minnie Aiken, Council Grove,Kan.

A Southern Yankee Put in His Oar.To the Editor : A recent writer in .The

National Tribune says tho West did not donil the fighting, and that the East ought tohave some recognition for what it did.

THE PROFITS Qi' FISH CULTURE.To the Edito-k- lyhavo a few thoughts to

present to my fellpw-tiirmc- rs all over tho coun-try. 1 know tho tJiuci-ar- hard, and we are allanxious to turn ih hottest penny. When woolis only 23 cents and wheat at 80 or 90 wo mustlook sharp to make tho ends meet, and a freeoxchango of thought often does much to assistus. 1 feel that all I havo is duo to ideas asgleaned from the different papers. I bought afarm near the city iu 1881. Then it wasthought that everything was at its lowest, andtimes must brighten up. But expecting goodtimes did not make my payments. I could notraise grain, sheep or hogs with any profit, so Iwas driven to look for something new. I struckon raising fish. I will say, to start ou, that thoUnited States Government will give, free ofcharge, to anyone desiring to start in tho busi-ness, from 12 to 20 German carp to breedfrom. Ottr Government is doing all iu its powerto advance fish culture, as it is a valuable field,and almost entirely unoccupied. It requiresno capital, aud brings iu a large revenue, andthere is always a market for tho fish. I haveno doubt there is more money to bo made infish culture than iu raising grain, cattlo orsheep. One-eiglit- h of an acre devoted to Ger-man carp will make a clear profit of $800 attho very lowest estimato. I think I hear ahost of farmers say, just a3 I did: "I shouldlike tho $a00. Where can I get informationregarding tho fish business?" Write to thoUnited States Fish Commission, Washington,D. C, inclosing a plainly-addresse- d envelope,and you will recoive, free, the information yourequire.

" Will they tell me how to get tho 12 to 20 fishwhich tho Government offers to boginnors?"Yes, they will send you blanks to be fillod out,by which you can get the fish without cost.

"Is there any doubt of my making money iutho lish business?" There is no doubt. Do youthink tho Government would go to the expenseof raising fish aud shipping Ihoni to differentparts of tho United States, then giving themwithout any pay to her citizens, unless sho waspositive it was a profitable trade for those citizens to engage m ?

" How largo a pond must I have for a start, andwhat will it cost? " A pond 15or 20 feet acrosswill do for a start, and the cost will bo nothiug,except a little digging.

" 1 have no stream on my lot. What will Ido for water? " Curp do not require runningwater; they do bettor in still water, even inswamps; they delight in mud.

" U'liat sections of, the United States are bestand most profitable for raising fish?" Any part.Carp are such excellent fish that they commandji ready market and good price North, South,East or West. Kansas is as good a State as NowYork, and Mississippi is as good as Michigan.

" Will it not take a long time to ot a startfrom tho 20 fish that the Government gives tobeginners?" No, indeed. Each female carp laysfrom 40,000 to 50,000. eggs per year. They in-

crease amazingly ifast.-an- d will increase yourdollars just as fustjvit'i'tretided to.

"What season i'besfo make a fish pond?"Eight away. TlieGuvtjrnnieut will send youfish between Nov.til aud March 1.

" Do you have to feed'tho lish in Wiuter ?" No ;they eat uothing during' the cold months, butlie in a dormant 'state; vhile cattle and sheepare eating their hoadsypff. if the Governmentoffered to send a fiuo'pair of pigs to auyonewhowrote for them, every mmicr in the land wouldsend in his namo.lT?htn-wh- y not get somo fish,when they cost o"u nothing, care for them-selves, and bring you more money than anykind of farm stock? ' .wish all tho papers inthe land would urgo:thiS matter on their read-ers, as 1 know tlny would bo conferring a last-ing benefit. W. BAiRty Pittsburg, Pa.

I'LANTINW BLACK WALNUTS.To the Editor: A comrade wishing to learu

through The National Tribune tho bestway to plant black whlnuts, 1 beg leave to sub-mit; the following: :I believe the best way isto prepare tho ground thoroughly, then markboth ways at a uniform distuuee apart. Takofresh nuts and place oue at each cross with orwithout tho "shuck;" press it down with theheel, and then put a little dirt over it and thojob is done. It is best done iu the Fall. A. GWhite, Co.

CARE OF SWINE.Tho Rural New Yorker publishes tho following

pertinent truths iu regard to tho managementof hogs: "A matt who succeeds with pigs mustlook them over frequently. They are so muchlike tho human family that they are liable toall sorts of ailments. I say 'liable,' but, likothe human species, with ordinary care and alack of abuse, thoy will live out their allottedtune. 1 like to look at my pigs. 1 enjoy see-ing them fill their little stomachs at nature'sfountains, and theu stack themselves in a pile,regardless of form, and take a refreshing snooze.I have almost envied them their solid comfort.To mtike the picture perfect, it must be noticedthat they havo a clean bed and a clean pen.Looking tho pigs over often pays. It is alwayseasier to cure any trouble when it first starts,and looking at them frequently is tho way todetcet any thing wrong.

"Thumps may usually bo arrested when thefirst symptoms are apparent by compelling thopig to take a great deal of exercise. Piles, acommon disorder with pigs, can be stopped ontho first signs of protrusion, by giving morolaxative food ; or, if the food lias been too sour,so as to produce irritation aud inflammation, itshould bo changed. After the protrusion haslusted several days tho parts will have to sloughoff before thero will be a cure. Tho food mustalso bo changed.

" A jKior appetite, common among hogs, iscaused by overloading the stomach, and cold orunsuitable food. Less food, different food, orwarm food, for a mess or two, may prove aremedy, or it may bo well to intermit a mess ortwo. Observation will tell all about it. Neglectwill let them suffer and die.

"A disordered stomach is quite common amongpigs; sometimes vumiting follows. Charcoalwill help to regulate tho stomach. A little saltwill aid, and so will sulphur. These are simpleremedies, which will correct tho digestion, or,rather, set it at work in a natural way; but if"

the trouble is neglected, and the causes of itcontinue (as will be likely without observation),fever aud inflammation will follow.

"Stillness, either from too long confinementor from too much solid ami heating food, espe-cially corn, may bo overcome by a change ofcondition and food, when the first symptomstiro noticed. Tho stiffness is one of the thingsthe hog breeder must always" be looking for,and avoid if possible. It will run his profitsdown at a rapid rate. Looking for causes andeffects is tho pig mail's safety, and in tho look-ing ho may also fi,u4 fuod for study and ovoupleasure." , ,'

No, for the reason that his death was not due to hisservice in the army.

llrey Heard, Slippery Jiock, Pa. You can appealyour case to the Secretary of the Interior, and thatwill bring it before the Appeal Board. Arrears iuyour case were granted at the usual rate. April 3,1881, the rates were advanced, and that is the rea-son why you drew a higher penson from that date.You appear to have been rated in strict conformitywith the rules of tho Pension Oflico.

Answer. 1. Youarc in error as to his receiving S"--0, unless he was aCaptain. That ratinjf is notK'ven a soldier. Thehighest rating for etich eligibility is what may beallowed by the Pension Ollice upon the report ofthe Examining Surgeon, and depends upon the de-gree of disability therefrom. . We cannot say.(See reply to C. II. A., iu our last issue.)

A. C. M., iMporte, Ind. Is a soldier who lo3t anarm near the shoulder-join- t, the stub being aboutsix inches lone; and the bone protruding, entitledto 537.50 per mouth ? Answer. No.

Can a soldier who was taken with inflam-mation of the lungs, and was discharged aftermonths of suffering, and who, after remaining athome, apparently recovered, enlisted ugaiu, serveduntil the close of the war and was honorably dis-charged, receive a pension, under any circum-stances, for an adhesion of the lung, if he can bringfull proof of tho time and manner of incurring thodisability? Answer. Yes; if the disability was con-tracted in the service and in line of duty, and he isand has been disabled from manual labor in conse-quence thereof, and he can prove it. His secondenlistment does not prevent his being pensionedfor a disability contracted in his first enlistment.There ure thousands of such cases where pensionlilts been allowed.
