at work in this vicinity. On "Wednesday
night the safe of DR.. Donnell, the Irondalt

Thursday night, the safe of S. s. Smith, tbs
Pennington merchant. was blown open and
$50 distracted. In this instance the amount
stolen would have been much larger, had
not Mr.. Smith made . remittance the might
previous. The boot and shoe store of A. j.
Mccoy, at Bismarck, was entered on Fri
day night, and goods to the amount of $500
or 500 were taken and conveyed away in q
wagon. No arrests have been reported, but
these burglaries are apparently the handi-
work of professional "cracksmen."

for so doing, deserves the thanks of the

"JOHN'' MUST GO.

The House of Representatives passed
the Chinese bill in the form in which it
came from the Senate, by the decisive
vote of 167 to IS. The Presidents sigma
ture will make it a law, and for the term
of twenty years Chinese immigration
will be prohibited.
As the vote shows it is not a party
issue, Democrats and Republicans alike,
voting for it. The passage of the bill is
triumph for civilization. The senti-
mental twaddle in reference to universal
rights, equality of men, &c, indulged
in by those opposing the bill is wel1
enough in theory, but fails in the appli
cation. The welfare of the country is
endangered by the inroads of these bar
barians, and just as man has the right
to defend his life, so has the nation the
right-nay the duty, to protect itself
from injury. The passage of this bill is
a blow for the rights of our own labor
ers, and will end the degrading system
of slavery which exists on the Pacific
coast. The respectability of labor is Sc
cured thereby, the laborer being elevated
from the position Of a mere machine,

THE RAT MARKET RISING,
President Arthur VetOes the
Chinese Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3.-At the
Cabinet meeting to-day, it was decided
to return the Chinese bill to the Senate
with veto message, upon the ground
that the twenty years limit was a viola
tion of the treaty between this Govern
ment and China, and with suggestions
as to other notifications thought by the
President to be desirable. Messrs. FIRE.
linghuysen, Brewster and KirkwOod up-
held the Presidents idea from the first.
and Mr.. FOlger objected to the twenty
year limit.
The Chinese Minister is reported as
saying tonight that this decision by the
Cabinet is one of wisdom and Justice.
The Chinese would not so much object
to ten years limit, though they also
hope for modification of the clause
that would practically restrict China's
accredited diplomatic representatives
from crossing United States territory or
touching at port of the United States.
This disposition Of the Chinese bill re-
moves the cause for delay in the Cabinet
nominations. 1t is definitely stated that
Teller'S and Chandler's names will be
sent in Wednesday for Secretary of the
Interior and the Navy Department re-
spectiYely.

THERE is a good deal of false senti-
ment INDUCED in with reference to the
Sergeant Mason case. The hard facts
are that he was in the employ of the
United States, soldier in the army Of
the National Government, and was de-
tailed to guard and protect prisoner.
Tie crime for which that prisoner was
under arrest was simply nothing to the
soldier who was set as a guard over
him. His duty was plain. He was to
see that the prisoner was protected
from violence while under his care,
Instead of doing his duty as a soldier in
protecting the criminal until the law
could pass judgment upon his case he
violated every principle of trust and
was guilty of the most heinOus crime of
which a soldier could be arraigned. He
took the law into his own hands and
attempted the murder of the man he
was set over as a guard. A soldier
could hardly be guilty of a greater
crime. His punishment is severe, and
yet the military authority could recOg-
nize no sentiment in the case. He was
punished as the character of crime de-
manded, and who shall say it is too Sc
yeTe?-AlassillOn American.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR has vetoed the
Chinese bill. This means a Democratic

that twenty years limit violates the
treaty is frivolous one. The Republic

publican Congress passed a law to do it

THERE is hope for the saloon men
yet. Pond liquor law may be uncOnsti-
tutional. And even if it is not, the law
is not certain to be enforced. 1t is not
characteristic of liquor laws to receive
prompt enforcement. There is no pen
atty in the law for failure on the part of
county officers to punish viOlators of
the law. The law is placed virtually in
their hands, and in some counties-it
may be otherwise in Summit-the stat
ute will be a great deal of dead letter.

A war on rates. both passenger and
freight, to the northwest, is thought to
be in imminent danger. Wednesday
morning meeting of passenger agents
of the Chicago & Northwestern, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy and Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific railroads was held in Chicago and
an arrangement for pooling the passen-
ger traffic between Chicago and st. Paul
and Minneapolis presented. The north
western and st. Paul roads demanded
the insertion of clause forbidding the
payment of commissions. The other
roads having longer routes refused to ac-
cede to the demand, and the meeting
adjourned without reaching any arrange
ment. In the afternoon the general man.
ayers and freight agents of the same
lines met to consider the freight pool.
Mr.. Merrill, of the Milwaukee and St.
Paul declined to enter into any arrange.
ment in regard to freight traffic until the
passenger traffic question is settled, and
the meeting adjourned without dong
anything. Unless an agreement is at
once reached war will at once break out
not only between the points named, but
throughout Minnesota and Iowa and as
far west as Omana.
