detroit Free Press. |


Saturday forenoon little old
woman who had come to town in
one-horse wagon entered a store on
Woodward avenue where gents
furnishing goods are sold and asked
if they kept such thing as mans
night-shirt.
"Certainly we do,p was the re-
ply, as the clerk reached for a box.
swell, my cid man was travelling
down in Rhode Island last Fall,
and he heard about 'em and saw
one," she continued, "and he's
been half crazy ever since to own
couple. Things have come to a
pretty pass when men have got to
have one shirt for day and another
for night; but Thomas is rather
childish and thought I'd get him
one."
"NIost all mon wear 'em now"
said the clerk, as he opened the
box. "What price do you want to
pay?n
"Well, 1 Dunno" she unused, as
she picked up one after another
and let them drop. 81 didn't say l
wanted one for myself, did I ?"
"Why, no; of course not. These
are gentlemen's night shirts,
madam; three different styles"
She picked up the plainest one,
shook 1t out, held it out at arms
length and coldly said:
"Young man, do you pretend to
call this gar ment night-shirt for
mani"
" Yes, ma'am."
"You do, ell? You stick to 1t
that this frilling and furbelowing

MosT people do not stop to think
that the delicious spread of green

IT will be seen, by reference to
last nights dispatches, that the
Democratic House of Representa-
tives is prepared to make good the
pledge of the Democratic National
Convention, held at st. Louis, to
the Caucasian workingmen, that
the wholesale importation Of Chi
namen to the United States should
be stopped by law. The proper
House Committee has the matter
in hand and early restrictive legis-
lation may be looked for. 1t is
noteworthy that, in proportion as
the Democratic party returns to
power, the old, absolute dictator
ship of capital over national legis-
lation disappears, and the demand
of the laborer whose face is ground
by Coolie competition, is heard and
respected once more in Congress
sional halls.

WE should not be surprised If
the next marked energy Of the
stock board should be connected
with Arizona and Mono county
mines. A number of these outside
mines are said to show unusual
promise, notably 1he Tip-Top,
which is In the neighborhOod Of
Prescott, Arizona. An active
movement in an Arizona mine,
which should be sustained by the
outcome, would be of immense
benefit to our neighboring terri.
tory, rs it .would attract capital
there and incite TO development.
Arizona is now candidate for
mining honors whose claims can
no longer be ignored. Her ship
ments of bullion last year, as re-
ported by Wells, Fargo & Co., do
not leave her far behind Colorado
and Utah. The gap can be spanned
in single year il the conditions
shall prove favorble. In addition
to the "Tip-Top," the McCracken
is reported to be in favorable
plight for heavy shipments, the
Silver King keeps up its dividends
and the promise and present per-
formances of the Globe district are
all that could be desired. In Mono
county we are confronted with the
gratifying intelligence that the
"Bodie'-a young mine-has paid
three dividends in five months.
Should this record be maintained
the interest which has hitherto
csntered exclusively on the Com
stock lode will be diverted to the
new districts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31st.-The
House Committee on Educa ton
and Labor to-day, after a full in
terchange Of views on the general
subject, unanimously agreed that
it is advisable that Chinese immi.
grafton into this country should be
checked or limited in some way.
Having made this much progress
towards a settlement of the ques-

adopted q suggestion of chairman

for consideration by the full Com

shall in suitable terms instruct the
President to invite the cooperation
of the Governments of China and
Great Britain to prevent the inn

the formal consent OF China and
perhaps Of Great Britain also. The

Legislative Proceedings.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 31.-SENATE.
The Senate, after long debate, in
definitely postponed the bill by
Raymond Increasing the terms of
all county and township officers to
four years after the next election
aud reducing salaries fifteen per
cent.
The next business was the spe-
cial order, Lewis's bill re-estab-
fishing the contract of the State
Board of Education with Bancroft
& Co. for Pacific Coast Readers.
The pending question was sustain
ing the point of order on the decis-
ion made by the Chair on Satur-
day last. The point was raised in
connection with Curtis's substitute
for the bill providing that the
State prepare q series OF readers
and distribute them to pupils at
cost price. To this substitute Pier
son submitted an amendment
striking out all after the enacting
clause and inserting as an amend
ment two sections, the first remit
ting to the State Board of Educa-
ton the duty OF presenting a series
of text books to be continued and
repeating all acts inconsistent
herewith. The point Of order was
that Persons amendment was out
side of parliamentary rules. Rog-
ers, who was in the chair. on Satur-
day, decided In favor OF Persons
amendment. Against this decision
Evans appealed.
Rogers resumed the chair to-day
and, after discussion, the Senate
overruled his decision by a vote OF
IA ayes to II nays.
The roll was next called upon the
adoption of the Curtis substitute
for the State printing its own text
books. The substitute was defeat
ed by a vote Of IL ayes to % noes.
Pierson then offered his former
amendment as substitute. On a
call of the roll the vote stood, ayes
81, noes Is. Persons substitute
having become the original bill IL
was ordered to engrossment by q
vote of ayes 10, noes II. This bill
leaves the question OF text books
where it stood previous to the meet
ing OF the Legislature OF 1875. A
bill has yet to be submitted to the
Senate ON its final passage. Adj
jOurned.
The Assembl., took up the spe-
cial order at 2 P. NJ, Dare In the
Chair.
Barstow's joint resolution rela-
tive to granting public lands to
corporations, was ordered to be en-
crossed.

Code with reference to water
rights and appropriations Of waters,
was made the special order forWed-
nesday next at 2P. NJ.

lowing bills were passed: Senate

ments in California for powerful
Workingmen's organization if the
Democratic Legislature should fail
to place itself prominently forward
as the champion Of the popular
side of the great questions of the
day. Their neglect to do this
would undoubtedly turn the State
of California over. at the next gen.

ingmen or to the Republicans. We
believe it would be to the latter.
