A Chinaman was landed in San
Francisco last week on the ground
that he was n native of California.
Here is the first loophole in the ex-
clusioD act. 1t may reasonably be
feared that every Chinaman coming
to this country will swear, and bring
witnesses to testify, that he was born
in California or some other state.
Can 1t be possible that there are no
means of Kidding this country of the
Chinese evil?
It is difficult to imagine the Mary
land widows feelings, who, having
set bear trap at her smoke house
door, found her first catch to be the
very person who was trying to catch
her. The fellow had been courting
her for some time. Had doubtless
spent all his spare cash in trying to
make favorable impression. The
widow was probably like most 9TH

The Encyclopaedia Brittannica, "
vol. XIII, published in 1888, con-
| tains sketch of the United States,
in which is included section devot-
ed to manufactures. The record is
tame enough until the protective era
is reached, and then the British pub
lication expresses itself thus: "Fhe
decade 1850'70 was marked by a
| stupendous advance in the mechan-
ical enterprises" This is disiuteres
ted testimony, and at variance with
| that of fres traders who tel us that
the development Of manufacturing
enterprises is impossible under a
protective system.
A few years ago the free traders
wasted all their sympathies on the
poor farmer. who. according to their
assertions, was being ground into the
dust by the robber baron manufac-
turers. Now they are dsyoting all
their time to proving that the robber
barons cannot get along unless they
have free raw materials. and the fun
| ny thing about the whole affair is
that the manufacturers-the alleged
| robber barons-tell the free traders
plainly that they want none of their
sympathy, and that they are doing
very we'll as it is.
The stoppage of work in the Ros-
lyn mines damages this country at
least $4,000 per month. The pay

kinds of garden sass" There is

the mill has closed down at Olealum,
and all kinds OF business is dull at
the latter place, too.-Kittitas Lo-
