the recommendation of the president and the
wishes of The cabinet Of course any
provision for free transit means practically
unlimited immigration at a slightly increased
cost of passage For instance, a Chinaman
at Hong Kong purchases ticket via Victoria,
British Columbis, for small Mexican port a
few miles south OF San Diego. The coupons
provide for his transportation from Victoria
to the Mexican port by way of San Francisco
He can thus drop off at any point en- route
and sell the talance of the ticket. Or he can
buy ticket for any point in British America
via Portland or San Francisco, and drop off
at any place on the road, selling the
remainder of his ticket. The companies
in t. rested in the transportation will be only
too glad to make any part of the ticket net
used transferable to any other person, Chinese
or white, in order to promote the inmigra-
ton.
To show that we are at least not alone in
our opinion, we quote the following words of
the San Jose Tides upon this new and deVilish
device
'"The trick is altogether too transparent to
deceive any one who does not want to be
deceived. 1t is sneaking, cheating,
cowardly, dirty, devilish attempt to repeal
the restriction act. that should be promptly
resented By state which at the polls has so
recently emphatically rebuked the party
whose presidents were oppos to restriction.
Indignation meetings should be held not
only on the Pacific coast, but all over the
United States, before congress can act on the
bill, in order that this attempt to ignore aGd
defy the voice of the people may be suitably
and earnestly characterized without any
nearly mouthed qualifications or restraints.
Let the traitors know that we are in earnest,
and not disposed to stand any nonsense. One
would have supposed that after such a de,
eisive expression of opinion here DO president
and no cabinet would have dared to DEFY
what they know to be the will of the people
10 that extent. In monarchi8l Britain such
an expression Of opinion at an election would
have envolved al instant and radical change
of policy by the government. Decency and
common honesty require such changes here
as we'll as tc ere. The president cabinet and
congress are now nothing but hold overs at
best. and their views are entitled to no more
weight when known to be In opposition to
those of the people who are incorrectly sup
posed to give them their position. And they
should be most emphatically Informed once
more what the people think of their disboli'
ca attempts to swamp free labor by practically
and reasonably annexing the fairest portion
of our domain to the meanest country in thf
world. Let us have an unmista kable, un-
hampered and emphatic expression of public
opinion of this matter in public meetings"

The Sixth Hole.
back fence

From the San Francisco Truth.
The Chinese restriction law is being riddled
as fast as is possible and safe.
We have already in Truth uamed FIVE holes
broken in the law by which it will be made
imperative whenever capital and monopoly
desire to import the Chinese again.
The sixth and largest hole is being prepared
for. The president is one of the men engaged
in the matter. In his late message he calls
the attention of congress to the question OF
the transit of Cinnamon through the country
en- route to other countries, aud thinks the
restriction should be limited to Chinese com
ing here as lsborers and should not forbid
transit.
The balance of mis- scoundrelly gang of
monopolists in Washington are engaged in
the preparation of bill to permit free transis
through the United States for Chineselaborers.
Even the secretary of the treasury is
assisting that purpose, in accordance with

Trades Unions and Strikes.

From the Iron MOlders Journal.
It would be hard to make some people be-
lieve that trades unions are organized for any
other purpose than strikes, and that to that
purpose all their funds are devoted. Our own
organization has paid out nearly SIG 900
during the last three years for funeral benefits
at the small sum of $1O0 each, not iScluding
the sick and funeral benefits paid out by
local unions during that time,
MIR. George HowelIs has published an
account of the trades unions of England,
which indicates that their condition is much
better than has commonly been supposed
! The membership in all of them he puts at
more than 100000 men, aud by the regular
monthly payments of these, the unions are
in receipt Of an aggregate income of about
| $4,000 600 per annum. The common
assumption is that these unions have no other
purpose but to encourage strikes and though
it is true that the protection of its members
in the matter of wages is the chiet reason for
the formation of a union, it is also worthy Of
raised is used in sustaining conflicts between
labor aud capital. Thus, in the returns for
soma years of number of the larger associa
tons, it is found that while about so per cent
of the outgo went to sustain members who
were simply out of work through the acci
dents of trade 25 per cent to help hose who
were sick, and 8 per cent each for funeral
charges and for a approximation fund, only
6 per cent was paid out on account of
strikes.

Say, are you Mason, or a nodfellow, or
snything?" asked the bad boy of the grocery
man.
"Why; yes, of course am"
We'll, do the goats bunt when you nishiate
fresh candidate?"
':No, of course not. The goats are cheap
ones, that have no life, and we muzzle them,
and put pillows over their heads, so they can't
hurt nybody," says the groceryman, as he
winked at brother nodfellow who was seated
on, q sugar barrel, looking mysterious, "But
why do you ask?',
20, nuthip, only wish me and my chum
had muzzled our goat with a pillow. Pa
would have enjoyed his becoming member
of our lodge better. You see, pa had been
telling US how much good the Masons and
Odd Fellows did, and say We ought to try and
grow up good so We could jine the lodges
when we got big, and | asked pa if it woulc
any hurt for as to have play lodge in my
room, and purtend to nishiate, and pa said il
wouldn't do any hurt. DE said 1t would

So my cham and me borsied goat that lives
in the livery stable.
toYou see my chum and me had to carry
the goat up to my room when pa and ma was
out riding, and he battled so we had to tie q
handkerchief around his nose, and his feet
made such noise on the floor that We put
some baby's socks on his feet Gosh, how
frowny goat smells, doh'tit? should think
you Masons must have strong stumml1.
"Well, sir, my chum and me practised with
that goat until he could bunt a picture of a
goat every time. We borried a buck beer
sign from a saloon maa. aud hung it on the
back of chair, and tae goat would hit it
every time, That night pa wanted to know
what we were doing up in my room, and /
told him We were playing lodge, and improE'

there was nothing that did boys of our age
halt so much good as to initiate men, and
