ment TO counteract the influence of Socialists
and their teachings, the name Patriots
League" was adopted. Gen. John L. Thomp-

principles and purposes was adopted, the main
feature of the platform being TO support and

aud despotism of all kinds, and all kindred
social and political heresies that tend to destroy
the peace of society, the authority of Govern
ment, the sanctions of law, the rights of prop
erty the liberty of the citizen and the sacred
ness of the family, and to serve due notice on
Anarchists, Socialists and all similar lists I"
and isms" that human liberty, as represented
and protected by American free institutions,
has cost too much. and is TOO valuable and too
sacred to allow it TO be oyerthrown, under
mined, endangered or desecrated by foreign
sgitators and reyOlutionists or demagogs of any
creed or description.

GOING BACK TO CHINA.
An Interesting and Amusing Scene on a San Fran
clsro Wharf

One Of the most interesting and amusing
sights of San Francisco is to witness the de-
parture of the steamers for the Orient, which
usuallycarry home TO China large number of
hinamen who have made their fortunes. or
are going TO visit friends in the Flowery King
dom. On the steamer Oceanic, which left last
week $50 Cinnamon sailed carrying with them
100000 in treasure. Among the Chinese were
so old and decrepit men and invalids one of the
latter being lepor in the last stages of the dis
ease The sick Cinnamon were sent back TO
their homes by the six companies and did not
get return certificates. The work of getting
the other Chinese passengers on board was ex-
peditiously performed. They were all on the
dock early, with their goods wares and chattels,
and were formed into line the steamer having
previously been thoroughly searched for stow
Always. The intended emigrant was first con-
fronted by four Custom house Inspectors, who
narrowly scanned the certificate he presented,
closely comparing the distinguishing marks upon
his person with those noted in the paper. The
certificate being all right the Chinamsn was
advanced step or two, where he was met by a
polltax collector, and if he was not the possessor
Of a new receipt he was made to pay the regula-
ton So before he could get any further ahead.
Paying this or producing satisfactory receipt,
the passenger was allowed 10 move on until he
came 10 the foot of the gangway. Hero were
ing sureharged with authority, and ranged three
on each side Of the gang-plank. Each was
representative of one of the six companies
These collectors were there to see that every
Chinsman going on board the steamer had paid
all dues TO his company, to prove which fact he
had TO present paper, receipted and properly
stamped, certifying that he was clear on the
books. Every one of them had his receipt
Advanced another yard, he was confronted by
two more inspectors, who looked at his ticket
and his certificate, and with their punches made
holes in the paper that entitled the nagged and
tired coolie to pass the vessels side 10 the
deck, where directed or rather hustled TO the
after part Of the ship, he was allowed TO select
his bunk below and put away his baggage
There was one Chinaman who escaped this
ordeal His name was Cue We Sing, rich
ranchero from Texas, where he has resided for
Il years. He was on his way 10 his old Chinese
home with his wife and four children, and the
family had gone aboard earlier in the day. Mrs
Sing was q comedy white woman, richly dressed
in the latest styles. Four handsome children
accompanied their parents-two girls and two
boys. Sing and his wife were married in San
Francisco - years ago. He is taking his family
to China to reside there for several years, TO
have them learn the Chinese language.

A Carpenter Explains.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Allow me to make few remarks In re-
gard to the Carpenters union and their cir
cular. Mr.. Reardon at the Garfield Hall
Labor lyceum read the circular TO the audi
ence present, and claimed that three weeks
was too short notice and that we only had
about 25 or 30 per cent. of the carpenters of
the city in the union. We claim that we have
majority of the carpenters. but we do not
recognize as such men that can merely nail
on sheeting, tack down a stud or nail on a
joist. AS to the short time, some two
months ago the union appointed commit
tee to see the contractors about reducing
the hours. but did not find all of them, Mr..
Reardon included. but thought his foreman
would notify him about it. hope that the
contractors will look at this nlne-hour
movement favOrably. On the Goth OF this
month the Carpenters union will have an
open meeting. Let Mr.. Reardon attend
and state his objection or anything else he
has to say. If all of the contractors would
do that we would come to a better under
standing with each other. A. j. NJ.

performed last evening at the Grand. The
large audience which witnessed it testified
in a way which could not be mistaken its
hearty appreciation of the feast of song
which was given 1t, and the generous APP
plause was heartily deserved. While per-

smoothness in the rendition, in Its

Miss De Lussan sang in the
archly-coouettish manner which has estab-

delightful. The recalls which she received
We're worthy tributes TO the artistic ability
which the charming little woman evidently
heartily appreciated. MeSsrS. Karl, Clark

1t is a little over three years since that
many energetic business men from all parts
of this country were looking towards st.

opened a carpet store which has been
known ever since as the st. Paul Carpe;

abundant means, started in modest way.

experience of twenty years connection with
prominent Eastern carpet houses. he en-

in the carpet trade in the Northwest.
and that he has succeeded goes
without saying. The St Paul CARPET com

front, has perfected arrangements whereby
they get, for long term of years, the SPA
