Judge Field on the Chinese.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 24.-Judge Field,
in the United States Supreme court, sit
ting in banc with Judge Sawyer, rendered
final decision to-day with respect to
the rights claimed by Chinese born in
Hong Kong to land in the United States.
He rules that the fact Of Chinaman
being born in Hong Kong does not con-
stitute him British subject and enlarges
on the fact that Congress never intended
to disregard the requirements of treaty
with foreign government. An act OF
Congress, he says, mustvbe construed ac-
cording to its manifest intent and must
be so enforced by the courts of law. In
respect to the restriction act no eonsldera
alton was deemed necessary for the posi-
ton of other governments regarding the
Chinese within their borders. Its object
was to exclude Chinese laborers from any
part of the world 1t was known that
Hong Kong would pour Chinese laborers
into our country every year unless COW
cred by the restriction act.
The act declares in its first section that
from and after ninety days from its pas
sage until the expiration of ten years
the coming of Chinese laborers to the
United States, without any limitation
of countries from which hey,might come.
is suspended. During such suspension it
shall not be lawful for any Chinese lab
orer to come, or, having come, remain in
the United States The twelfth section
declares that any Chinese person found
unlawfully within the United States,
shall be removed therefrom by direction
of the president to the country from
whence he came - not necessarily to
China, but to the country he came from
He concluded that all provisions of the
restriction act were consistent with each
other and that the full purpose of the
law to exclude Chinese laborers from the
United States would be defeated by any
other construction.

The General Assembly.

Upward of one hundred and forty
delegates attended the session of the
General Assembly of the Knights of
Labor at Cincinnati. The convention
was called to order on Tuesday, the fourth
instant, and adjourned sine die on the
eleventh. The proceedings were kept
thoroughly secure from that horde of
newspaper reporters who besieged the
meeting-place. A general desire was
manifested to return to the profound
secrecy which characterized the work of
the order for several years succeeding its
inception. Following are the officers

This is fast age. There was an earth
quake in one corner of the world short
time ago where a range of mountains
sixty-fve miles long sunk out of sight,
islands were buried beneath the ocean
and new ones appeared, towns and cities
we're destroyed and one hundred thou
sand people killed. The next day and
next the papers were filled with accounts
of the disaster and then little more was
said about it; the occurrences of the
days that followed had crowded it out.
We doubt if half the people who read
the accounts of the frightful disaster end
exclaimed about it can now tell where it
occurred. They are busy and their
minds are filled with the news of to-day.
Yes it's fast age.-Chicago Express,
The Labor enquirer., 1883-09-29

We commend to the attention of the
economic writer's for the capitalistic press
the report of President Strasser Of. the
Cigarmakers' international Union. 1t
shows that. while. the union has ex-
pended s77,2O3.47 for strikes during the
past two years, and the men have appa-
rently lost some time because of them,
yet in reality there has been no loss in
the amount of work done, as there was
an increased aggregate production in one
year of nearly four hundred million
cigars, and the gain in wages during the
last four wears, resulting from these
strikes, was about one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars a month, while the
gain to the workers by preventing re-
ductions amounted to fully five hundred
thousand dollars, Thus it appears that
by temporarily stopping work the men
we're enabled to force the employers to
pay them higher wage, and at the same
time did as much work in the aggregate
and lost no more time than if they had
not struck, while the aggregate wage was
enormously increased. If they had not
struck and lain idle for a while, they
would have lost just as much time du
ring the year and have received much
less pay. Those workingmen VINO are
so ready to decry- strikes and declare
that they are "a relic of barbarism," and
af no value in securing Justice for labor
may profitably ponder over the few sug-
gestive figures here given Western

he pleasure of strangling this hero.

H
O'Donnen should die one day before his
natural time, so that his memory should
be enshrined in the Irish heart. He did
the good work noblY, dexterously, final
ly and well ;but that he achieved this
glorious renown, which shall make his
name imperishable, in self.defense, ought
not detract from his laurels. So s2s@
This is the reason why, more than any
other, all possible care should be taken
to have the defense of this bold man as
powerful as ingenuity's resource and
money can make it, z.@.Ef.. .,., -
Even to our own eyes-and we do not
presume to be lawyers-glaring incon-
sistencies in the evidence have appeared
to us in reading over the reports of the
preliminary investigation before the
magistrate in South Africa. -, Z. =
QDonnell'sdemeanor, too, shows he
is man who has confidence in himself.
Unlike other men who had achieved
such glory by the happy accident which
placed him in Carey's vicinity, he keeps
religiously his own counsel, and merely
says: what l did, l did in my own de-
fense." In this statement he betrays an
admirable reserve, a power of self-com-
mand, and a clear-sightedness into the
future which commends him doubly to
our admiration.
AS we have stated before, there is no
real necessity that, because patriot has
done good work, he must necessarily
swing from an English gibbet before
those whom he has benefited can realize
his worth. England will do her best to
have his blood and even now, fearful of
losing him by capture she will not trust
him to land by any of the ordinary
routes, but needs must send gunboat
to take him off at sea, and then transport
him to some remote port in the north of
Scotland, from which he can be carried
by rail to his dungeon in the city of
London.
In O'Donnell's case stronglegal fight
should be made, on the evidence, to save
him. Expressing, as we do, non-legal
opinion, we think there is good ground
for such defense and believe that the
artifces of lawyers will have fair play
and a good field in O'Donnell's trial.
Then, when Justice shuts her eyes and
says: Though the law of evidence may
be as you state, still this man must be
foredoomed by us; as, if We allow him
to gain the benefit of any legal doubt,
like an ordinary prisoner, we will be ad-
mitting triumph to our Irish enemies,
and will encourage others to follow in
his footsteps"
Should England reason in this manner,
then let her by all means murder the
man in the face of her own law but let
her know that if she does not give
Patrick O'Donnell a fair trial ; trial
such as any other man, under like cir
umstances-without the introduction o1
political elem'ent-should have, it will
be IAN eye for an eye and tooth for q
TOOTH" and the legally innocent execu
toner of James Carey shall not swing
from the gallows unavenged.-United

Beeeher's Insulting Words.

Editor Labor Enquirer
DENVER, Sept. 25.-The utterances of
Fl. w. Beecher in his first lecture in
Denver do him credit. He states that
if the Chinese drank as the Irish do, ETC.,
they would be equally respected; that
the Chinese were quiet and decent,
therefore they were not respected.
Does the puffed up Brooklyn traducer
seek to convey the impression that hon
est and liberal minded American citi-
zens honor and respect a man because
he is drunkard, whatever his nation
ality? Dare he face an intelligent au-
dience and say so? He dare not. HIS
audiences, composed of curiosity seekers,
applauded him for novelty's sake, but
the champion of Wazee street will not
gain the respect of decent men and wo-
men by setting up as standard Of re-
spectability the vicious habit Of drink
ing, which is generally regarded as
odious. Laws have been passed to pre-
vent the sale Of intoxicating liquors to
Indians. but Beecher believes the
heather and ignorant "Chinee" should
drink to be respected but this will not
defend the man who thought dread and
water" good enough for workingmen,
when he seeks to induce ignorant China
men to drink whisky and thereby attain
a heikhth of respectability unappreci'
ated and unknown to him. The humb-
lest Irish hod-carrier is superior to the
professional blaster of domestic happi-
ness.

Miss Mary Anderson, the charming
and talented young American trage-
dienne, has thousands of friends In every
city that she has visited. Her beauty of
form and feature. the purity of her pri-
vate life, and her talent as an actress,
have endeared her to all. She recently
visited England, and is now performing
in London. Heretofore, whenever an
American actress visited Europe, she
acted as though her chief aim in going
there was to be introduced to that prince
of Gbertines and despoiler of woman's
virtue, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales.
Not so with Miss Anderson. The prince
of debauchery solicited an introduction
to Miss Anderson, and was met with a
decided and flat refusal. All honor to
Miss Anderson. When she returns to
her native land she will find that her
action in this instance has met with the
commendation of all good men and
women.-Dayton Gazette.

San Francisco Truth. ~. ... a
The following Declaration of the
Rights of Man. is ordered published to
the people: /
PREAMBLE.
We hold these truths to be self evident
to all people who have the welfare of hu-
manity at heart: That all men and
women are born free and with equal
rights. That they were endowed, by such
birth, by their Creator and as necessary
incidents of their existence, with certain
inallenabe rights, rights of which even
they themselves cannot divest them
selves and that among these rights are
the right to life and the means OF living,
liberty and the right to the pursuit of
happiness. That especially enumerat-
ing the subordinate rights flowing natu-
rally and reasonably from the establish
ment of these truths and the principles
necessary for their perpetuity, We do
publish and declare:
That the just end of all political asse-
Citations and the only permissible reason
for their existence at all, is the mainten
ance of the natural and imprescriptible
rights of man and the development of
all his faculties.
Whatever rights belong 10 one man
D,long to all men equally, whatever
Inference may be in their physical, men,
tai or moral force. Equality of rights is
established by nature. Society, 50 far
from invading it, ought justly to- consti'
tute- its security against the abuse of
force which would render it illusory.
III
If it shall be found after careful trial
thereof that any form or system Of gov
eminent or society fails to maintain the
rights of man, then it is not only the
right but the most sacred duty of the
"hole people to alter or abolish the said
stem by any and all possible means.
".
Liberty is the power which belongs to
IAN of exercising all his faculties at
sure. 1t has justice for its rule, the
n J of others for its boundaries, nature
Z its origin and the law for its safe
lard.
The right of life, which belongs equally
to all men, carries with it the right to the
means of living. Chiefamong these sub
sidiary tights is the right OF each indi-
vidual to receive the full product of his
own labor without tithe, tax or diminu-
ton upon any pretext.
VI.
Every individual is entitled to an
equal proportional share of all the natu-
raj advantages of earth. The whole peo-
pie should hold the land, light, air and
water, together with other of natures
resources, as the natural heritage in
common of all mankind, and of his pro-
portion thereof no man should ever be
deprived

What Hot Water Will Do.

A gentleman who is in business in
this city cured himself of chronic and
ugly form of dyspepsia in a very SIM
pie way. He was given up to die !;
but he finally abandoned alike the doc
tors and the drugs, and resorted to q
mode of treatment which most doctors,
and most persons would laugh at as an
cold womans remedy" 1t was SIM
ply the swallowing Of teacupful of
hot water, before breakfast. He took
the water from the cooks teakettle,
and SO hot that he could take it only
by the spoonful. For about three
weeks this morning dose was repeated;
the dyspepsia decreasing all the while.
At the end of that time he could eat,
he says, any breakfast or dinner that
any well person could eat-had gained
in weight, and has ever since been
hearty and well. His weight is now
between thirty and forty pounds heavi-
err than it was during his dyspepsia
sufferings and for several years he
has had no trouble with his stomach
-uDless it was some temporary incon-
venience due to late supper or din
ing-out, and in such n case single
trial OF his antc-breakfast remedy was
sure to set all things right. He OBJ
tanned his idea from German doctor,
and in turn recommended it to others
and in every case, according to this
gentleman's account, cure was affect
ford Times.
