Omaha daily bee., 1888-10-14

credible that a court of justice should be
the scene of so solemn n farce, but i'm
plicit crcdence is now given to it as
Peter Ashe has acted with such decision
aud shown such indignation. The up
shot is that there is a change OF public
sentiment, which will have its effect
upon the Sharon crowd, and neither
Sarah Althea nor Judge Terry will be
pushed to the wall.
CHINESE LABORERS EXCLUDED.
We see in the papers east Of the
Rocky mountains frequent statements
that the exclusion bill will not exclude
Chinese labor, but that is n mistake.
Notices that all such laborers arriving
upon incoming steamers will be refused
permission to and have been posted
on the doors OF the custom house. The
prior residence" dodge is lot working
with the success that was anticipated,
either, for Judge Hoffman has very
plainly intimated that he will not per-
init his court to be used to defeat a law
made in obedience to the wishes of the
entire community. Commissioner
McAllister has been more len
lent, but two of hose
whom he admitted as ''prior residents"
have been already arrested for perjury,
and the chances are that they will re-
ceive the h~oSpitalities of the state at
San Tuentin. The eastern papers make
us tired with their praises OF the China
man as Il domestic servant. a trained
Chinaman is a good servant, though he
cannot be trusted, but an unframed one
is worse than a green Scandinavian or
Irish woman and large accessions of
both these are pouring into the city
now. Some curious stories are told OF
the blunders Of raw Mongolians. A
lady had an experience with one which
was rather funny. She made a lot of
ginger cakes, which was the special
weakness of her soul, and placed them
in the cupboard. Next day she was hor-
rilied to learn that the cupboard
was bare, as in the case of
Mother Hubbard. john she
screamed, have you eaten those
ginger cakesy" Me no subbee gingley
cakes he replied, with a smile that
was childlike and bland. She went
into pantOmime to describe them, and
showed the place where they had been,
but where, alas, they we're not, Then
he comprehended. He smiled again.
and said softly: Me eatee; me no
like; me tlow away"
AwAR AGAINST FRUIT JUICES.
The senate tariff bill has received al
most universal praise except from the
adherents OF Claus ~Spreckels, the sugar
man, and nobody cares about them.
But the wine men have discovered an
unintentional flaw which would have
a serious effect upon them, OF at least
they believe so. In schedule III fruit
juices are admitted under a duty Of 8
cents a gallon. This seems innocent
enough, but Arpad Harazthy, who is
the king of the California wine men,
pointed out to his co-mates in the BUSH
ness that cherry juice, which would
come in under the bill, was one Of the
most important items in the manufac-
ture OF fictitious wines, and that to pre-
vent this fraud becoming more serious
than ii was it would be necessary
to place fruit juices or at
least cherry juice under the
same category us wines having
less than "A per cent OF alcohol. The
democratic papers have taken up this
little thing and worked it into a noun
tain, pretending to believe that the
wine men who were exceedingly promi-
nent in the great republican procession
a month ago had experienced a change
of heart and would support the Buckley
ticket stained as it is with blood, and all
their united might. | saw Arpad Har-
azthy aud asked him about it. He
looked disguised and said that the wine
men almost regretted that their action
had obtained publicity since il was SO
mislnterpreted. They were solidly re-
