New YORK, JUNE 27.-At meet
ing of the Workingmen's union tonight,
the introduction of Chinese labor into
this country was forcibly denounced as
continuance Of slavery, and the
Massachusetts men were declared slavers
deserving of the punishment of death.
Nelson Young, the president, explained
the evils, resulting from cheap labor
and another speaker advocated an
appeal to force, asserting that if the
government could not keep the Chinese
out, the government should be removed,
and all were unanimous in demanding
from congress such measures as would
put stop to the importation of Chinese.
Resolutions to this effect were adopted,
and several speakers urged that if this
failed, recourse should be had to arms.
A mass-meeting Of workingmen, to
protest against the importation and
employment of Chinese, will be held
on Thursday evening next.

IMPORTANT DECISION. important de-
cision was recently made in the Supreme
Court of New York, involving the validi-
ty of an unstamped contract. The plain
tiff by letter offered a certain price for
10000 pounds of brass, which was &C
cepted by telegraph by the defendant.
VIM. Evarts, counsel for defense, objected
to the letter and telegram, making the
contract, because they were not stamped
and were therefore void under the revenue
laws.
Ex-Judge Fullerton, counsel for plain
tif, maintained that it was not void fol
want of stamps, unless there was an in.
tent to defraud the Government. The au.
thor Of the telegram testified to no intent
to defraud the Government. Judg Fuller.
ton then affixed stamps to the letter and
telegram and cancelled them. Judge
Brady then admitted them as evidence
The jury gave ! verdict for the plaintiff
for the full amount.

Iowa and Minnesota exchanges seem to
see nothing but new railroad lines. All
the schemes or schemers require is aid"
We have often said in these columns that
Railways will come in time if the country
is worth coming to. Haste makes waste.
A present convenience, or the inordinate
desire for it, has often embarrassed men
and whole communities. There are nearly
as many points to Railroad argument as
there are to Congressional tariff discus
sion. The intense heat of these days ad-
monishes us to keep cool. On the 9th our
voters will 90 for or against the proposed
5 per cent. tax to aid the River Valley
Road from Dubuque to-to-up North
We expect lively time. There are SO
many projects on foot that we cannot name
them. Votes for taxing seem to have been
generally discouraging to R'y parties. The
expressions of taxation in their Hydra
headed forms are already frightful and it
is not strange that the people feel like 60
ing slow. We are in receipt of marked
article entitled "New R'y Project" It
invites the M. 4 St. P. Company to build
q road from Clear Lake or Hancock, on
their Calmar and Yankton line, and aid is
promised by the landowners. Our taste
for railway talk and railway projects is
melted, at present, by the weather. Let
US have lemonades and Chinese fans till
the air is more salubrious.

BosroN.-An exchange says "Michael
O'Brien, the little Boston twelve-year old
boy who was recently sentenced to the re
form school till his majority 70 years y fol-
stealing newspaper, has been pardoned
out" And this in Boston A little boy,
playfully, perhaps, took paper from an
other little boy the paper cost less than
three cents-is condemned to a 9 years SER
vice for reform! We know not the bust
ness character Of that pure region in the
vicinity Of the 'hub,' but if all who ap-
propriate newspapers for years, in the
west, were subject to the same penalties
inflicted upon the helpless little Irish boy
it would take forty to one hundred life
times to meet the law. For instance due
US for one year, 81 weeks at years for
each issue, equal to 46S years in the Re-
form for 1O4 weeks $50 years: for 8
years OF 156 weeks, 1852 years After
this time Of taking things there would be
no limit except in eternity. Boston is q
wonderful country. In inorganic sense
We like Boston.

MADISON, June 2S.-A horrible accident
occurred here this morning. About 7
o'clock a man named Focke, while passing
through the city with his wife, on their
return from q camp-meeting held in Mid.
dleton, to their home in Pleasant Spring,
were thrown from their buggy by the
horse running away, Mr.. Focke having
his chest crushed against the wheel of .

death in fifteen minutes. Mrs. Focke was
badly injured, and has remained uncon-
scious most of the time. 1t is doubtful
whether she will survive.

long editorials are seldom clipped, less
frequently noticed and sometimes not

hands ct the bellows editorial imagine that
they are playing the devil in frightening
an article that contains only two sticks of

Sunday Dancing.

Sunday Dancing.
In Milwaukee the question of Sunday
dancing is to be tried by made up case,
which was instituted for that purpose.
A State law prohibiting public dancing on
the Sabbath was repealed year or two
ago, but recently, through the influence
Of the Mayor of Milwaukee, who is Ger
man, an exceedingly strict city ordinance
on the subject vas adopted. fhe Turner's
organised for the defeat Of the ordinance
in the Courts. They got up Sunday
dance with unusual ostentation, notified
the city authorities that it would be held,
and furnished witnesses to prove the fact.
The next day, in accordance with the pro-
gramme, three prominent Turner'S were
quietly arrested, and gave bail to appear
at their trial, which is now in progress.
The Turner's hold that the ordinance is
unconstitutional, as attempting to compel
certain religious belief and practice.
They claim, also, that one city cannot
prohibit dancing on any particular day,
because if it can, the Israelites Of another
city might obtain power, and prohibit
dancing on Saturday, and Mahommedans
might prohibit it on Friday, which is
their Sabbath.
Another argument to be used will be,
that the Turner's are o corporate body as
much as is the city, and as such are en-
titled to rights and privileges as much as
the city, and will insist that the city han
no more right to say the Turner's shall moi
dance on Sunday, than the Turner's have
to say the city shall dance on that holy
day.
If the Turner's are beaten in the local
court they will appeal it to the highest
courts in the State, and will quietly sub.
NIT if the adjudication is adverse "a
their claims. They have raised liberal
sum of money to be expended in the con
test, and will celebrate their victory, i
they gain one, by an immense Sunday
festival.-&. Paul Pioneer.
In another column it will be seen tina
! the Dancing has triumphed.

Indiana has preacher who gets his
congregation in church, locks the door,
and breaches to them until the deacon
collects specified amount. He preached
three hours last Sunday before they
came down with 500 he had levied on
them......A little boy once said to his
aunt: "Aunty, I should think that Satan
must be an awful trouble to God" "He
must be trouble enough; indeed, should
think SO" she answered. II don't see
how he came to turn out so, when there
was no devil to put him up to it......A
clergyman, having called up class of
girls and boys, began with one of the
former in these words: "My dear child,
tell me who made your vile body ?" She
had no idea of the question applying to
anything beyond her personal appear
ance, and dropping quick courtesy, re-
piled, "Please, sir, mother made the
body, but I made the skirt"

The spectacle of the President of the
United States promising the Secretary of
State of San Domingo, privately, to use
all his influence over the. United States
Senate to secure certain measure, is a
new and peculiar one. It was regarded as
enc of the strong points of General Grant
as candidate, that he made no promises
and would trammel himself by no pledges
to the people of the United States as to
the course he would pursue. And yet,
while the dignity Of the candidate scared
far above the wishes of the people whose
votes were to elect him, the urbanity of
the President permits him to tie up his
official conduct by pledges to the unknown
Secretary of Mr.. Baez, in such q manner
as to give that individual the power to
charge him with dishonor if he should
find change of policy in the San Domin-
go matter necessary. The President of
the United States, in his individual capac-
ity, is not treaty-making power. Charles
the Second, Of England, was one of the
few sovereigns who ventured to enter into
private bargains with other powers which
were kept secret from Parliament and the
nation. Naturally, the nation came to
the conclusion that Charles drew sti-
penl from the foreign sovereigns
on these secret agreements. But, wheth-
er he did or not was Of small consequence
to the welfare of the country, compared
with the inevitable loss of confidence in
the recommendations of the sovereign when
it was in doubt whether they proceeded
from his real convictions of duty at the
time when they were made, or were called
forth to fulfil pledges which he had previ-
ously made with foreign powers as to the
mode in which he would give his influence.
We can conceive of no contingency in
which the President of the United States
would be justified, upon any pretext OF
consideration, in binding himself to for
eign power to take particular course af-
fecting that power, in his recommends
tons to Congress. Whatever may be his
inducement for doing so, he becomes, from
the time such an agreement is signed, an
agent of the foreign power, under con-
tract to influence the Senate in its inter
est. This is position wholly anomalous
for President to occupy, and one which,
after proper discussion and reflection up
on the point, the President will be too
cautious again to assume. II cannot be
denied that he has kept his agreement
with Mr.. Bae'z Secretary in his Interviews
with Senators, and in the messages he has
heretofore sent to the Senate on this ques.
ton. But the fact that he was under the
duress of such an agreement at the time
will detract In some degree from the I'M
partially and independence of his recon.
mendations.-C Chicago Tribune.

BASE BALL.-The State Register of Des
Moines requests the papers to note that
the great Reunion Of all the base ball clubs
Of Iowa viii take place this fall at the cap
itol city.
We notice with pleasure. The baseball
or national game as it is politely called is
one Of the silliest bundles of boyishness
eyer invented by people boastiag intelli-
gence above the age of IA. Only think Of
the Red Stockings, the Blue Stockings, the
Sharp Sims, the Sore Heads, the Flat
Foots, the Thin Brains, the Rye Suckers,
and countless other intellectually named
"Orders" who have trips of thousands Of
miles in contemplation merely to see who
of their number can throw ball, who can
hit it and who can catch it. There is plen.
ty of room all round here to have games
of ball without carrying $50 apiece to Def
Moines or to any other place. The flash
terms now used in this ''great game" are
- numerous a. those found in the London
Rogue's dictionary. We like the game al
an exercise, but for the lords sake don't
put it on wheels and expose its graduates
to the ridiculs of the world. Persons
whose labor or whose intellect is worth
notice have neither money nor inclination
to race from Boston to San Francisco Il
play rub of base ball. Most of thu
go--ers are probably sent out of charity
induced BY the local pride of the citiel
they represent. Those Of any value stay
at home. In short sentence we beg Il
say tho whole business is id nonsense.

EQuALIrY OF R1aHrs.-"The female con-
victs in the Iowa State prison are com
PEELED to perform the same manual labor
as that done by the other SEX"
The above is going the rounds. We do
do not believe the statement. It is improb-
able the prison managers would ask Of
small-boned, delicately made women what
is required Of stout built, athletic men,
However their guilt, viewed from moral
quarters, they are women still and hence
incapacitated, physically, from hewing
timbers, discriminating, cutting stone and
various other kinds of labor which men
can alone perform. We are decidedly op-
posed to what is usually called "Woman's
Rights" politically, but we are equally op-
posed to the laborious oppression Of those
whose errors or misfortunes have compell-
ed Law to incarcerate them. The breasts
Of women-the source of all early human
sustenance should forbid the exercise of
cruelty by officials. The press shosld de-
nounce it.
