RESTRICTING FREE RELIGION
New York Sun: a number OF men in
Boston who advocate what is called free
religion have organized club there to
yindicate the "good namen Of their very
elastic creed. They are all exceedingly
respectable men, and do not like to be
associated in the public mind with the
agisators gho would stretch free relig-
ion far enough to make it cover what
ever socialist extravagances may salt
their notions of what is for the advan.

religion which - based on authority.
There is a conservative party and there
IS q radical patty, the one calling itself
respectable and cOntemnlng the other as
not worthy Of respect. Some of the fol-
lowers of liberalism in religion want TO
be t'sO free. in The opinion OF Others, and
are accordingly pressing forward to
ends which are misehievous. They're

they be "tarnished" by the association.
Exactly what free religion is we have
never been able 10 understand. II never
has bsen defined. but its name implies
that it Is q religion which every man |
finds out for himself, and which he holds
without dependence on any ecclesiasti-

Such beng the fact, We do not see
how the Boston club can consistently

some sort or other, and yet are advocates

people regard as perniciOus. They pro-

A wOMAN's EXPERIENCE

Mrs. William DoWnes, of Uxbridge,
Mass, writes on March 10. 1888, as fol-
lows:
During the past three years l have
been great sufferer from a compiled.
ton of diseases, which baffied the skill
OF, the most experienced doctors, as l
could not obtain permanent relief by
their treatment and prescriptions; and /
have also tried many so-called cures In
the medicine line, but could get no re-
lief. The pains, aches, and weak
ness increased SO rapidly and constantly
thst was so reduced in strength
az to be unable to leave the bed, and the
doctors informed me that there was no
hope OF. recovery. In this exhausted
and discouraged condition dear friend
persuaded me TO use Hunts Remedy,
and after taking it only three days /
commenced to get better, and to my
great JOY and delight have continued
to improve constantly by its use, until
now, after having taken the remedy only
few weeks, am able to be about my
house again, and am now doing my
homework. My lame back is cured,
the severe pains have disappeared, and
am now in better health than for
many years, and beg this privilege OF
gladly recommending Hunts remedy 10
all who are effected with any disease OF
the kidneys or liver; and also highly
recommend it for the attacks of sick
headache. My husband also has exper-
fenced very great benefit to his health
by the use OF this most Vaiua BILE medI.

The leading Democratic paper of Mis-
souri,, the st. Louis Republican, says the
press Of that state is almost unanimous
in favor of the (Democratic) new high
license Law, and that there is tan almost
unanimous feeling against the effort of
a certain class of saloon keepers to
thwart it," The minimum tax is $500
yearly on 6 saloon. Yet in Ohio the
Democratic party has arraYed itself SOL
idly against the mild Scott law, which
merely proposes TO tax saloons from
500 70 $500 each, the first amount for
those which only sell beer and native
wines, and the second for those which
sell spirits.

The Chinese Immigration Frauds.

Thanks to tho vigilance of Senator Miller,
of California, and tho prompt attention Of
the secretary of the treasury to his represent
ations and appeal, there seems likely to be a
sudden check to the wholesale frauds whereby
Chinese laborers were entering the port of
San Francisco, in violation of the treaty,
through false certificates of the Chinese Off
cials, stating them to be students and travel
ers. The California senator mado the
matter very clear, and the secre-
tary of the treasury has reiterated
his former instructions to the collector to
"refuse permission to the passenger to land
until satisfactory evidence is produced
where there is any reason in any case to
suspect fraud or imposition" Tho collector
at San Francisco will now be justified in
firm treatment Of the outrageous swindles
attempted by Chinese official in the name
of the Chinese government, in fragrant viola
tion of our treaty with that country. After
our government had deemed this evil of
Chinese immigration so pernicious as to do
mand a new treaty under which it might
be abated, and after Congress had passed an
act to effect remedy, it was the widest folly
for coolie importers to suppose that they had
only to bribe Chinese official in order to
reopen their infamous traffic in the teeth oi
both law and treaty. If a treaty power can
not restrain its petty officials from ovcrridin,
a treaty expressly made to prevent our in
jury, TO avoid irritations, and to allay com
plants, then the sooner tho treaty is abro
gated and all relations with SO unfriendly
power severed the better. But we do no
doubt that the Chinese government will SO,

carrying out all treaty obligations in goot

Enforcing Law in Virginia.

Amid the saturnaia of crime in which tho
moro active members of the bourbon party
of Virginia have been engaged during the
past fortnight, IL is gratifying to know that
there is yet some law left in that de-
mented commonwealth Ono offense did not
go unpunished. Tho festive bourbons bought {
all tho pistols for sale in the state and
imported great supplies of them from
without, and went forth conqucring and
to conquer their negro oppressors. Every
body knows how bravely the backs
Of the fleeing Danvlle negroes
were perforated with bullets, and every negro
learned that if he did not want TO be served
the same way ho must keep his place"..-if
he could get it-beyond pistol shot of tho
down-trodden bourbons. 1t is truo that the
law has, for the most part, been necessarily
silent in the presence of arms. But there was
one example of rigid enforcement of lava
case that shines out of tho lawloss chaos like
the cleaning eye of wolf from the dark
ness Of his den. A young man was arrested
for having n pistol True, ho was a
roadjuster; true, he was the young son of Con.
Malone; true, no feared his father was about
TO be trampled TO death by the mob which
had closed in upon him at the polls in his
own ward aud true, it was proven that he
did not draw the pistol. But he had one
The fact that the bourbons were under arms
and threatened to supply with violence what
they lacked in numbers did not matter.
The fact that they had such reverence
for the law that they could not pass by
unnoticcd the carrying of pistol
by young Malone speaks volumes
for them. Next to putting the unarmed
negroes down on their faces perhaps the most
admirable and chivalrous act of election day
was the disarming of Butler Malone, and
hauling him before magistrate, who fined
him SIS. Now, il they would fine one of the
Danvillo assassins SIS the world would see
that the law could not with impunity be out
ragged in the Old Dominion.

Circular as TO Check stamps,

Tho following circular, respecting i'm
printed check stamps presented for redemp-
tion subsequent to July 81, 1883, was issued
by the commissioner of internal revenue yes
terday:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF INTERNAL
REVENUE, WASHINGTON, ID. Q. Nov. l6.-By circular
No. 267, issued July 10. 1888. the public were in.
formed that stamps imprinted on checks presented
1888, would not be Cancelled after redemption, and
the checks returned TO their owners. This action
was rendered necessary by the lack of an appro.
priation TO cover the expense OF cancellation.
Since July 81 over 1000 packages of stamps have
been received, and In many cases claimants state
that they were unaware of the Limitation, and pre-
sented their stamps with the expectation that they
would be cancelled after redemption and the
checks returned to them.
The cases on hand will be treated in either OF
the following methods, viz:
/. Claims will be acted on as soon as reached
and If allowed stamps will be destroyed
.. Stamps will be returned to complainants free
of charge, the claims to be considered as with
drawn.
3. Cases will be laid aside until congress con.
venes, and, if an appropriation is made for the
purpose, the stamps If redeemed Will be cancelled
and the blanks returned 70 their owners.
Claimants are requested to state which of the
above methods they desire TO have adopted, and tC
forward the necessary blanks to the internal rev
enuo office as early as possible
Stubs of checks Will be cut Off and returned tC
claimants free ofexpense upon receipt of reques

The Gus Mans New Game.

In Difference to an outraged public opinion
the Washington Gas Light company has
made some seeming changes in its manage
ment, hoping possibly to fool congress into the
belief that it has passed into tho control of
now men who will deal honestly by con-
sumers. The pretended revolution in tho
management is tho shallowest kind of q trick,
and cannot possibly deceive any intelligent
man. That the company should find it expo
dent to resort to such clumsy move is in
itself confession of q purpose to carry on
campaign of deception.
What tho people Of the District of Columbia
want, and what they will insist upon having,
is good gas at reasonable rates, and an as
surance that the "enrichment" process will not
begin Immediately upon tho adjournment of
congress- The old company, masquerading
before congress with a make believe new
head, will not accomplish tho purpose that is
desired by the gentlemen who draw top-heavy
dividends on very much diluted gas stock.
The new president is very clever gontlema N
personally, but tho residents of the district
cannot forget that he has been directly re-
sponsiblo for tho mophitic vapors that are
blown through the gas mains and charged
for as illuminating fluid. If he could not or
would not. make good gas while personally
attending to its manufacture, what can be ex-
pected of him in the guise of anotheF mans
mask2 Certainly not permanent reform in
the direction demanded, The new board of
trustees of the company is made up mainly
of we'll meaning gentlemen, but the head of
the table continues to be whore MoGregor
