or the manners of the rest of mankind.
They live )cheaply on food upon which an
ordinary human being would starve or
against which he would revolt, and are able
in consequence to work for wages which
would not afford even bare sustenance to q
civilized human being. Competition against
such race is impossible. If allowed to
come here in hordes they will drive intelli-
gent civilized labor out of the market, and
reduce the majority of our workingmen to q
condition far worse than slavery. For these
reasons We think that restrictive legislation
is necessary as to the Chinese, and while
Directing to the principle of excluding any
person from our borders, we must approve
of the bill as passed.
The discussion of the measure developed
an amount of demagoguery among our Sen
ators that was we'll nigh disgusting. Nearly
every person who took prominent part in
the debate had the Presidential bee in his
bonnet. 1t is generally conceded that to win
success next year, the electoral vote of Cali
fornia and Oregon must be secured, and as
these States are the most directly interested
in the Chinese question, there was the most
AFFECT almost -subserviency to the
popular demands of those States. Democrat
and Republican alike truckled to the Pacific
States, and made arguments in favor of the
passage of this bill, often at the sacrifice of
their own consistency. This phase of the
discussion can only fill the citizen with hui
miliatioy. TWAS a question that ought to
have been discussed on the broad grounds OF
public policy. Instead of that, it was de-
bated from the standard of the time-servine
politician, each man striving to make points
that would secure votes either for himself OF
his party. However heartily we may ap-
prove of the bill, we must confess to disgust
at the means by which it was passed.

was halter, but died when the subject of this

to care for himself, which had a tendency to
develop those self-dependent qualities that in
later years served him SO admirably: Until 81
years OF age ne attended school some, worked
on farm and in the lumber woods. After
attaining his majority he was appointed

State, and there he was married, Now, 1889. to
Miss Betsey Ann Wickham. In 1851 he was
appointed agent Of the Winnebago Indians, at
Long Prairie, Todd county, Mimi, which posi-
tlon ne held during President Fillmore's adj
mlnistration. That year he was admitted to
II bar in this State; 1854 elected sheriff of
ramsey county; 1855 was member of the ter
Iltorial legislature, and in the lower branch of

The State Fair Case We11 Stated.

It was decided to hold the fair on the first
week in September, beginning on Monday,
and on the St. Paul fair grounds. The
choice of time and place was not made by
st. Paul influence, but by the country men,
bers. st. Paul people do not enjoy paying
any more than Minneapolis 1oeple. They
did not have to bleed as deeply as their up
river rivals last year, but they would will
ingly let the cup pass by them, this
year. Mr.. Kings association had again
tried to force the State society to assist at
his show, by previously selecting for his ex-
hibition the week on which the State fair is
customarily held, and inviting the State So
ciety to join in an exposition on the Henne-
pin grounds this year, the next to be Joint

What sort of a policy does our neighbor
want? There are vagrant theories in plenty,
that commend themselves to the people gen.
orally, it is true, but these theories have not
yet been consolidated into policy. Nor is
it necessary that they should be. The DEM
ocratic party is not restricted by forms.

pie, and whatever the people require it will
advocate. It is trne to it's name-Demo-
cratio-and will sustain whatever the people

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

The United States Senate has passed the
anti-Chinese immigration bill. Its effect
will be to stem the flood of immigration
that has SGT in from the fowery kingdom,
and afford our workingmen guarantee that
they will not be driven out and impover-
ished by the competition of these bar
barians.
While we are of opinion that some re-
strictive legislation may be necessary in this
direction, we are very decidedly of the
opinion that the principle of the bill in
question is wrong. Our government was
established with view to making America
resort or refuge for the oppressed of all
other nations. It has been such an asylum
in the past, and to-day there are men occu-
plying hig ii official stations in our govern
ment who were forced to fly for their lives
from the despotisms of the old world. 1t
has been our boast that here, in the land of
the free, every man could find refuge and
q free expression to the political views
he might entertain, without let or hindrance
Therefore it has been the policy of the gov
eminent to encourage immigration from
foreign parts. The Irish have come here in
large numbers; so have the Scandinavians
the Germans, the Russians, and persons of
other nationalities. Many have come, not to
escape oppression, but to find homes that
they could not find in the old world, and to
make for themselves fortune or a name.
All have been gladly welcomed; all have con-
tributed more or less to the prosperity of the
country. Here in Minnesota we have large
foreign population Scandinavians, Irish,
Germans, and Russians. They constitute
the bulk of our population, and have made
good American citizens aside from dispo-.
sition to herd together and keep up the Gus
toms of their native land sometimes to the
offense of American-born citizens. We are
now engaged in an effort to attract still
larger number of these people to our State
and country, and to interfere with that effort
would be SO manifestly unwise and injurious
that no one would nave the hardihood to
suggest it.
With the Chinese the case is different
They do not come to America with the in
tention of assimilating with the people here
or of becoming citizens of the republic.
They come simply to make money, and to
return with it to their native land. They
bring their own institutions with them, and
live apart from the rest of the community.
Seldom do they adopt the dress, the customs

rs THIS IN OLIVE BRANCHe
The Minneapolis Board of Trade have

Inc Minneapolis Board of Trade have
passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That committee of five, CONSISTING

Brackett, 4. B. Langdon and Elwood s. Corser
be and are hereby appointed to confer with a
like committee from the chamber of commerce

sirable-as to the feasibility of securing at an
early DAY and at some convenient point mid

and expeditions may be hereafter permanently
held. And further,
ftes0tUed, That such committee be also en-
powered to confer with such like committee. if
appointed, in regard to the expediency and
practicability of having union fair and ex-
position the coming fall, and report the result
of such conference to this board
Resoloed, That the secretary of this board be
instructed to forward copy of tho foregoing
resolutions to the chamber of commerce of St.
Paul.
This is movement in the right direction,
providing it is not simply plan to kill off
the State Society. It will be noticed that
the resolutions studiously avoid any allusion
to the State Fair. Minneapolis has I'M
fortunately arrayed herself against the State
Fair, and in reality against the whole State.
If this is simply cover to supplant the State
Fair with Bill Kings show, st. Paul will
have none of it. If it is genuine and
honest movement to abandon all efforts to
kill the State Society, and make a permanent
fair between the cities, st. Paul will extend
both hands and welcome the olive branch.

Hon. s. N. Frisbie.

Oakland, Freeborn county was born in Guilford,
New Haven county. Ct, Oct. 6, 1924. His

county, which has since been his home. The
winter OF 1857, he was appointed by Gov.
German county commissioner for the organiza-
ton OF the county, and at the fall election was
elected for the term, three years. In 1859 he
was elected Justice Of the peace for the term of
