WASHINGTON.
HOW THE HOUSE WILL, DISPOSE OF
HAYES MESSAGE AND HALE's
RESOLUTION.

UOward's Men In Trouble

| Especial 10 the Democrat.I
| WASHrNGToN, Dec. 9.-After consultation
| with Thurman and other Democratic leaders
| in tho Senate. the Democrats In the House
have decided 10 take no action regarding
Hayes libel on Louisiana and South Carolina
| IN his message. Gen. Gibson will therefore
| not Introduce any resolution calling on Hayes
| Tor tho information on which he based his
| libel, but whenever IIalc's proposed resorl-
| tion for investigation comes up will offer an
| amendment widening It's scope In the same
| manner as the Democrats in the Senate will
| treat Blaine's resolution The House will
then pass Hales resolution MS amended. and
| that will end tho bloody shirt campaign for
this session, SO far as practical results are
concerned
The New York case involving Howard 8
lottery Is calculated To be the most serious
test to which that institution has yet been
subjected. Moore the New York agent OF the
lottery and Watkins, his clerk, who were ar
rested Saturday ON complaint Of Anthony
Comstock, VIM. IIalIeck and others, were to
day released on their own recognzance, pend
ing tho reference Of The ease, by consent Of tho
Attorney General. This arrest, unlike the
law Of New York, and the question
for tho Attorney General to decide
will come up in tho shape Of q
conflict between the laws Of the State Of New
York and the laws Of tho United States, as
interpreted by tho Department of Justice In
the case OF last winter The case is already
before Devens In the form as telegraphed last
week, but this case brings an entirely now
phase Of the subject up for consideration
What Devens will do it Is OF course
impossible to say, but there Is no
doubt that Howards persistent ad-
vertising in the Northern press has
stirred up the strong puritanical feeling of
that section to such degree that his agencies
in all the principal Western cities will ulti-
matcly be broken up. In this he appears to
have made the same mistake to which he
owes all his trouble ut home. to wit: That of
making Extensively obtrusivea n business which
at best can never expect anything more than
federation. BUELL.

Copeland Again-An Old Rascal Appears
In q New GmIse.

DEsMoINEs, Ia. Dec. ct transpires that
the Ho-called Rev; John williams. arrested
recently at Charleston, Ills, by Canadian
officers for embezzlement at st. Catharines,
is the veritable Rev. A. g. Copeland, OF noble
fame in Iowa. He began life as a saddlcr In
iowa City, but soon drifted into the ministry
and preached In several cities or this State,
but always left under cloud. At Cedar
Rapids he was mixed up In n womans scandal.
He then took an insurance agency at Milwau-
kee and cheated the company out Of $40, 900
He was next heard Of as a pastor at India
napols, but his identity being disclosed he
left In a hurry. In Tennessee and other States
he subsequently figured In church and women
scandals. He could change his name oftener,
obtain pastoral charge OF church quicker,
and work his way into women's grace more
readily than any other man living. Although
having stopped only few days at Terre
Haute, Ind, he gained the confidence OF q
widow and nearly got possession Of her prop
erty, at the same time preaching acceptably
and teaching there. He had about accom-
plished the same thing at Charleston, ILL,
when apprehended.

THREE

The Baltimore Gazette discovers three
reasons why Chinese immigration
should be discouraged. Here are its
arguments:
There are now on the Pacific Coast
over 100 900 Cinnamon, and the mum
Der is continually increasing 10y immi'
grafton. For the presence of this I'M
desirable element. the late Arson Bur
lingame, who was the American Min
lister to China thirteen or fourteen years
ago. is held responsible, since it was
mainly through his efforts that CHINESE
immigration was directed to the Paclhc
Coast. The objections to the Mongoli
ans number three, and are: First
That they work for wages which no
American laborer, white or black, can
accept. for the reason that such wages
are insufficient TO support himself u
family. Second Because they are
practically h~eathens, worshlpplng
idols, and wholly unsusceptible OF civil
lization. And Third-Tbat they are
grossly immoral in their daily prac
tees.
1t would be an easy matter to assign
a score Of additional reasons, fully as
strong as those here adduced, why this
immigration should cease, but they
have been SO often repeated as to be-
come wearisome to Pacific Coast read
ers. One thing, however, saysthe Call,
should always be kept in mind. China
has four hundred millions of inhabi'
tants, and is so much crowded that she
could spare one hundred millions of
these people and scarcely miss them.
Suppose, then, that three or III thous.
and Of these people should arrive in
this country per month, how long
would il be before, in several of the
States, they would become the domi.
nant power?
