justly be considered as pledged.
The facts and circumstances which /

to join the Congress in dealing legisla-
lively with the question OF the exclusion
Of Chinese laborers in lieu Of further at
tempts to adoptit by international agree

undoubted right in the interests of our
people and for the general welfare oil our
country, justice and fairness seem
to require that some provision
should be made by act or
joint resolution under which such
Chinese labOrers Us shall actually
have embarked on their return to the

subjects as nave suffered damage through
violence in the remote and Compara-

country at the hands OF lawless

ANOTHER FAISBHOOD NAILED.

Gcnernl Harrison Nlndicated of n silly
SInnder Started by one COndOn-A RI
dicuIous Canard Knocked in the Head.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL, Oct. lon the 23d
ultimo, William Condor, an Irish resi-
dent of Bloomington, had published an
affidavit, in which he swore that in n
speech made by General Benjamin Har-
rison on November ., 1876, in this city,
Harrison made use OF the following Ian
gllage: "You all know what they (the
Irish are. II II were not for them we
would not need half our penitentiaries,
which are almost full OF them. They are
only good to shovel dirt and grade rail-
roads, for which they receive more than
they are worth, for they are no acquisi-
ton to the American people" Four
others, by affidavit, corrobOrated Con-
don's statement in greater or less de-
gree.
To-day the Bloomington Pantagraph
will publish the ailidGvits OF thirty-four
men who were in General Harrison's
audience, all Of whom fatty contradict
Condon's statement and declare that his
charge against Harrison is wholly with
out foundation in TACT andtotaiiy untrue /;
that General Harrison did not use the
words attributed to him or any other
words OF similar tenor or effect. Among
those who thus testify are Ex-Governor
John VI. Hamilton, Congressman Rowell,
Hon. K. NJ. Benjamin, Messrs. d. NJ.
and i. +. Funk, Hon. I. O. kerrick,
Col. John Reid, Messrs, Luke Nevin
and Edmund 0'Connell, a prominent

YICTlNIzEp TlCKET BROKERS.
A Couple of Shrcwd swintllers Get In Their
Work mt Chicago.

Work Mt Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. la local paper says:
Weeping and gnashing OF teeth are heard
among the railroad ticket brokers. They
have been victimizcd to the tune OF from
$1,000 to $1,000 by two clever fOrgers, one
a fine looking man and the other Il re-
markably handsome woman. Saturday
afternoon the couple entered the Office
OF prominent scalper and offered for
sale two round trip tickets from New
Orleans to New York via the Illinois
Central to Chicago, thence by the Mich
igan Central. The coupons for passage
from the Crescent City TO Chicago were
gone, and the man explained that he and
his wife had decided to remain here for
some months, and, as the tickets We're
limited to sixty days, he wished to dis
pose OF them. The broker offered S57
for the two, which, after some argument,
was accepted.
Yesterday the broker had an oppor-
tunity to dispose Of one Of the tickets.
1t was necessary, however, TO have the
Michigan Central ticket agent witness
the signature. When presented to him
he pronounced the ticket forgery, and
said that no such tickets had been issued
by the Illinois Central company. On
investigation this proved to be true, and
the broker had to refund the money. A
visit was then paid to tue other brokers
offices. Out OF the one hundred and
odd in the city nearly every one bad
been victimized to the extent OF from
two to five tickets. The woman, in all
cases, accompanied the man, and when
more than two tickets were offered the
swindler explained that he was accom-
panied by his son or sons. The ticket
is very clever imitation Of those issued
by the illinois Central.

scubiak, Pole, in drunken brawl in
a saloon at 1852 Aliceanne street, came
very near ending the lives OF at least
three persons between seven and eight
o'clock Saturday night. Scubiak, with
a anumber of his friends, more or less
under the influence OF liquor, were
having a general good time in the saloon,
when quarrel began between Scubiak
and George Jofzietckn. ScubiaE
became very much enraged, and,
drawinga long knife, stabbed Jorzietcka
in the left breast. The blade struck one
OF his ribs. Peter Piashelky grabbed
Scubiak's arm and prevented him from
striking Jorzietcka a second time. He
turned on Piashezky, aud, striking
savagely at him with his knife, cut OIL
the little finger Of the LETT hand and cut
the hand from the wrist down, and
nearly chopped of the third finger.
Then he made pass with his knife at
james HeunicS, who had attempted to
shield PiasheIky, and badly mangled
his left hand. At this stage OF the fight
Sergeant Jones and an officer appeared.
SCubiak was arrested.

What a Doctor Says About Drafts I'm

To the Editor of HE EVENING STAB:
Yesterdays issue OF The STAR contained a COM
munication from "Parent" In reference TO the ven

accuses teachers OF fndiscretion In lowering win
dows during school hours. OF course placing
children IN a decided draft should be reprobated
but the amount OF ignorance and consequent COM

among parents" Is indeed appalling. Their chill
cold, and the parent assigns the cause thereof
TO sitting In draft. In nine out OF every ten of
such cases 10 Is because the windows have not been

sometimes, and then at recess or close OF school
they rush out In the cold air aud deep cold "a the

reduced the temperature the change would NOT
have been so decided, and no cod would have en-
