Old Contest ReYiYed.

The perplexing Chinese question has been
revived anew in California. A few days
ago the legislature passed, by an almost
unanimous vote, bill for the enforcement
Of that clause of her new constitution which
forbids the employment of Chinese labor
by corporations organized and doing bust.
ness under the laws of the state. The bill
was promptly signed by the governor. 1t
Furnishes with fine of 800 to $1,000 or
imprisonment for fifty to five hundred days,
or both, any director of any present or flu
ture corporation organized under California
law that shall "employ in any manner or
capacity upon any work or business of such
corporation any Chinese or Monaghan" A
second offence is punishable by fine of
from $500 TO $1,000, or two hundred and
fifty days to two years in prison, or both.
The charter of the corporation may also be
annulled-an authority which it is claimed
the legislature derives from the "granger
act" recently passed.
Kearney and his Sand Lot followers could
scarcely contain themselves when they heard
of the enactment of this law. They i'm
mediately commenced series of visits to
leading manufacturers and either requested
or demanded the immediate discharge of the
Chinese employees. Many of the employers
refused to accede, or even to answer their
demands, on the ground that the act is I'M
constitutional The validity of the act will
be tested at once in the supreme court of
the United States. But in the meantime
the transfer of capital from San Francisco
to New York is constantly taking place to
the great injury of the material prosperity
OF California. 1t is very grave question
whether the state can afford to let Kearney
continue his warfare upon capital and drive
it to other localities where it will be pro.
tected by law.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The House is getting along with bust
ness very rapidly, and there is now some hope
that an adjournment can be had the last Of
May. Speaker Randall still insists that Con-
gress can adjourn by May 81, and it, no doubt,
can do SO if it attends strictly to the appropria-
ton bills and ignores other business.
Senator Ben Hill and the Washington
correspondent of a Baltimore paper had q row

he replied that the Senator from Georgia dare
not go out into the corridor and repeat the Ian
guage.

Uncle Tom and the ChTIdresp.

DEAR Mr.. EDITOR: [ wonder whether
any of the children who read your paper ever
have visited the State of Iowa. thought that
perhaps some had never visited the State, and
would like to hear about it. I arose at o'clock
on the morning of the 10th, and, after mine
host had hitched his horses to his spring wag-
on, we mounted our seat. and started across the
country for an eighteen-mile drive. For six
miles the road lay through a thick wood
through which ran a stream Of some depth
Then, as we emerged from the woods, we came
to stretch of prairie, and then again to hill
and from that on we we're first in valley, then
on hill. / am q great lover Of hills, perhaps be-
cause was born where we had plenty of them.
Iowa abounds in them. AS we passed along we
noticed many farmers busy blowing and har-
rowing, thus preparing the ground for the seed.
Many were sowing, and some fields were al
ready green with the growing rye. I could not
help thinking whether the boys and girls who
read this arc preparing their hearts for Gods
precious seed, and whether any of them had
taken care of the seed planted within their
hearts. Oh, [ hope many of them who have
received seed may yield hundred fold at the
gathering.
Well, we reached our destination at II o'clock
The name of the place was Badger Hill, town
Of some fifty people. While the horses were be
ing put in the stable, I went into the only store
and had a talk with the proprietor While con-
yersing with him. an Indian came in and
stood by the fire. He wore moccasins,
and around him was wrapped red blanket
Rings were in his ears and bracelets on his
arms, and knife hung by his side in leather
case. He talked good English, and from him
learned he was from Tana City, that two others
were with him, and that they had come away
from the tribe to hunt for muskrats and to fish
He said he had caught thirty muskrats in one
and half days, for which be would receive II
cents each
gentleman told me that he had several hogs
dead Of cholera, and the Squaws of this tribe
begged for the bodies and when permits
sion was given them they took the hogs home
and ate them. How thankful we ought to be
that we have pleasant homes and good food to
eat
After had transacted my business and eaten
dinner, we started home. On our way we met
two hunters riding horses, and each carrying
gun, with horn hanging at their sides, and
four fox hounds following. They had been
hunting wolves, which are quite numerous in
Iowa. They said they had killed nine, and
would receive So each. Many farmers have lost
calves and other animals by these wolves, and
SO the people hunt them and kill them
Nothing of any further interest came to our
vision, and at o'clock we were home. With
best wishes, UNCLE Tom.
