they can; hence he is a curse to the
country and ought to be driven out.
Every now and then you see an ac-
count in the newspapers of some riot
between the whites and Chinese in
these Western towns and along their
lines of railroads, and when you sift
the matter it all arises from the sim
pie fact that the Chinaman is willing
to work for less than the white man
demands. 1t will be admitted by all
that the Chinese are usually a
quiet, inoffensive set, and that they
are faithful laborers. When you hire
them, they are always found at their
/ post of duty, and never inaugurate
any of these strikesso common among
us at the present time.
Suppose they do live on rice and
rat-tail soup, eat witha woodenspoon,
smoke opium, wear queue, worship
Josh, and fail to comply with the cut
and dried rules of Chesterfield, and
even are willing to work forless than
the white man does, is this any rea-
son why they should be mistreated
and prosecuted in the manner they
are?
The United States by treaty with
China threw open her ports to these
heathens and invited them among
us. They are human beings, and
when they come among us and en-
deavor to make an honest living "by
the sweat of the brow" they ought
to be let alone, and should be protec-
ted by the laws of the United States.
The Chinaman is not to blame for
this state of affairs I; it is the laws Of
the United States, in tolerating them
to come here if she doesn't want
them.
! The various religious denomina-
tons of this country spend annually
: thousands of dollars in sending min
listers to China to convert the heather,
The United States by treaty with
China invited this same heather to
come to this christian land of ours
"to this land of the free and home OF
the brave" and when he comes we
massacre him. If the Chinese had
the same spirit of resentment that the
North American Indian has, they
would have had the scalps of every
one of these missionaries long before
now. I think it would be far better
, to recall their missionaries and turn
them loose in this christian land o.
ours to convert our own heathens, be
: fore going to heather lands. "Con
sistency thou art jewell" The au
thoress of "Uncle Toms Cabin

Marshfield Items.

From the Times: The hearing in
the town Of Marshfeld election case
was continued until the 25th, on the
application of the defendant.
Sheriff Torrance, who was in the
city yesterday morning, organized him
self into an independent self constitut-
ed fire department, and eztinguished
an incipient blaze in the roof of the
pump house of the W. G. r. R.
One of the village officials of Aub-
urndale attempted to put coat of
''red paint" on the city, Friday night
last. After night in the lookup, his
wife having been telegraphed for,
appeared on the scene, and paid So
and cost to liberate her 'sleige lord, )"
who was convicted of being drunk and
disorderly.
Matt Rapp was, as he supposed,
placed in possession of the property
he bought at sheriff sale last week,
and at once commenced making i'm
proVements On the premises. Monday
he was both surprised and disguised
by being arrested on a warrant issued
by Justice Woodwork, of Grand
Rapids, charging him with trespass.
He was taken to that place where the
complaint against him was dismissed.
1t is claimed that Conrad Arndt sworc
out the warrant, either under the
name, or for one Britt, who had been
a tenant OF the premises, but who
claims that he knows nothing of the
matter, and had no grievances against
Mr.. Rapp.

LaBleau, who was driving, attempted
to save her from falling out, and
dropped one of the reins, which caus-
ed the ponies to turn still shorter,
tipping the wagon over, percipating
the party to the ground Mrs. La
Bleau had both bones of her right
limb broken above the ankle, and Miss
Couture sugered a dislocation Of the

Supreme Court Decisions.

The case of r. Gibbons VS.. the Wis.
Valley Railroad was decided in supreme
court last week. Gibbons was a resi-
dent and lumber owner at Knowlton,
and the case was brought by him to
recover for a large amount Of lumber
piled near the defendant track at that
place, and which it was alleged was
ignited and burned by fire from a pass
ing engine. Gibbons obtained judg-
ment In the circuit court, but the
supreme court about one year ago sent
the case back for new trial It was
returned to the higher
court, which now afirms the decision
of the lower court, and Gibbons recov-
ers for the amount of his lumber
destroyed. g. ". Cate was the plain
tiff 5 attorney.
A case brought by Coleman, Jack
son & Co. against Rosenfeld, Neuman
& Co., of Unity, was decided in favor
of the plaintiffs. 1t was brought by
them to recover the amount of debt
contracted by the defendants, who
made an assignment to one Darling of
that place. Jones & Sanborn were
attorneys for the plaintiffs. -SteUens

Mrs. Belva a. Lockwood.

This lady gave her lecture on the
Social and Political Life in Washing
tom at the Opera Hall Monday
evening, to fair audience. She
handled her subject with great ability
and exhibited an accurate knowledge
Of private and public life as it is found
in Washington. Her residence in that
city of over 20 years has given her an
insight into the political and social life
Of that city, that we are unable to
obtain unless we enjoy permanent
residence there She gave her version
of the presidential administrations from
jackson time. Spoke Of Presidents,
Hayes, Arthur, Garfield and Cleveland
administrations in particular, and gave
each their just dues from her stand
point. Her explanation of the defeat
of the Republican party is PLAUSIBLE
one, and we are of the opinion that 1t
is the right one. She advanced many
valuable criticisms on the present Gus
toms of Washington society in the
higher circles and condemned their
improprieties Her compliments to
President Cleveland and his adminstra-
ton were many, and her criticisms were
Numerous. She alluded to his civil
service policy as sham and his com
muuications TO congress almost daily
occurrence.
The lecture was an able one, con
tanning many valuable thoughts and
proves to the American people that
when women sets herself about doing
anything, she usually does it well.
We enjoyed short conversation with
the lady after the lecture and found
her to be very intelligent and refined
woman. She was heartily pleased
with the close attention shown her by
her hearers

Respectfully Submitted TO our Bust
ness Men,

We take from the Waupaca Post
the following proposition made to any
city that wishes to encourage manu-
featuring establishments to locate
the Deuber Watch Case Mfg Co.
Newport, Ky. 1t reads as follows:
eve want piece of land at least
fifteen acres in extent on which we will
erect factory, three stories and
basement, 800 feet long, and in rear
of same another factory Of same size
and height. This will be in operation
IN one year after the ground is broken,
and will employ 900 hands. As soon
as we can conveniently dispose of or
rent one of our present factories, we
will build an addition to above to
employ the balance of our workmen.
We paid in wages last year some
100000 and do a business of 80, OO0,-
600 employing to-day 800 hands.
This would add, with their families, at
least 5000 to the population of any
town.
We are open to any proposition that
may be made. Yours Respectfully,
JOHN G. DEUBER President

The Wright Case.

The Wright case from Loyal is ez-
citing a great deal Of interest. Wright
is dead, and his stomach is undergoing
analysis at Chicago. His wife and
Daniel Allen are in jail, suspected of
having poisoned him. In jail, the wo-
man was induced to make written
confession she duplicates Allen as Joint
principle in the crime, stating that she
bought the poison and she administered
it. Her confession may be true, and
it may be false. We shall not try the
case. She confesses herself q muir
dress, and previously immoral. It is
probable that her confession should
not be given full credence. Common
fairness will lead the public to with
hold Judgment as to Mr.. Allen, whose
record has hitherto been good. He
has made no confession. He protests
his. entire innocence. He may be
guilty. He may be innocent. The
presumption is in his favor. The re-
ports sent out from here and Spencer
that he was held under $4,000 bail
is wrong. No step has been or will
be, until next week, made to get bail
fixed by Judge NeWman.-Neil8v5JIo

Torpedo Beat for the Japanese Govern.
menf.

A torpedo. boat, lately completed by
Messrs. Yarrow a. Co., London, Eng
land, fer the Japanese Government, is
Of more than usual interest, as she is
a distinct departure from the new
sterotyped form Of torpedo-hoat. Mt
only is she the largest that has hithcr-
to been built, but she embodies several
new features. The principle novelty
is that vulnerable parts Of the vessel,
including the machinery, are all pro-
tscted by l-inch steel armour, which
may be considered as an almost perfect
defence against machine gun fire having
in view the distance at which a tor
pedo- boat attacks and the acute angle
of fire at which it would be hit. The
dimensions are l6G feet long by ID
feet beam, and she will be propelled by
twin screws driven by engines indIca-
ting / 400 horsepower, f.om which
speed of nineteen to twenty knots an
hour may be reasonably expected.
The vessal has already been shipped
in sections to Japan, where she will be
put together; and II the trials come up
to the expectations formed, there Is
40 doubt that this type of topedo-beat
will find much favor with many gov
ernments. For not only is good pro-
lection obtained, but the vessel. from
her large size, offers great and very
comfortable accommodation for the
officers and crew, and is undoubtedly
deserving Of being considered as
thoroughly sea-going. The armament
will consist Of two torpedo tubes placed
forward for direct ahead firing, the
torpedoss being elected by gunpowder.
There will also be amidships and aft,
on the deck, turn tables, upsn each
Of which will be mounted two torpedo
guna, placed at an acute angle with
one another and arranged for firing
over the side. These guns, by being
nearly, but not quite, parellel with
each other, II fired simultaneously,
will clearly very materially increase
the probability of the vessel aimed at
being hit. 1t is remarkable fact
the Japanese we're the fret to intro
duce going topedo-boats into their
navy. Again they have taken the
initiative in adopting vessel of such
an entirely new type and possessing
such evident advantages over their
predecessors. Y. Morning Journal
