The turn which affairs have taken in the
last few days with regard to Chinese immi-
grafton serves to call attention afresh to
the record Of the republican presidential
candidate on that question. 1t is true that
Gen. Harrison processes lately to have
changed his views, and be probably is sin
cerc, but the fact remains that his Chinese
record is neither creditable to him, nor
calculated to increase his popularity.
According to the record, when he had the
power of United States senator to back
up his views with his vote. and when, I'M
der certain contingencies, his vote might
have operated disastrously against Ameri-
can laborers, he was generally found on the
side of Chinese immigration and Chinese
citizenship When, in 1882, congress passed
a bill, which was vetoed by President
Arthur, looking TO the prohibition of China
men from entering American ports for a
period of twenty years, he voted in favor
of the following amendments to it: To
allow skilled laborers. not under contract, to
enter, and to allow Cinnamon to enter who
succeeded in securing certificates that they
wore coming to this country of their free
will and at their own expense. Later on,
when a bill was under consideration,
looking to their exclusion for a period
of ten years, he voted in favor of striking
out the provision that the term, "ChineSe
laborers," should be construed to mean both
skilled and unskilled laborers, and also in
favor Of striking out the provision that no
state or United States court should admit
TO &c
Indiana. in a recent speecn in the House,
declared that Gen. Harrison had read, be-
fore literary society in Indianapolis, a
paper in which he advocated both Chinese
immigration and Chinese citizenship, and
he challenged the republicans to produce
any denial by Gen. Harrison Of the fact.
VIII these things have any effect upon
Gen. Harrison's chances for President The
republicans contend that they will not,
since Gen. Harrison has changed his views /;
but is it not likely that many people, in
casting their ballots, will be influenced
more by the mans acts, when he was in
position to influence legislation, than by any
opinions he may have expressed since be-
coming q candidate for Prcsidentl The
sentiment against Chinese immigration has
become stronger and more widespread
every year since 1882, and it is very bitter
in California, Oregon and Nevada, where
the effect Of cheap Chinese labor is felt
in a more marked degree than else
where; and that the people of these states
do not forget the attitude of public men on
this question is shown by the enthusiasm
with which they supported Mr.. Blaine in
1884, and with which they expressed their
preference for him at the recent Chicago
convention. and by Mr.. Thurman's great
popularity on the Pacific coast If they
display enthusiasm for Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Thurman on account of the consistent anti
Chinese records of those gentlemen, is it not
reasonable TO suppose that they will give
the cold shoulder to Gen. Harrison, who has
pretty consistent record in favor of
Chinese immigration?

Litchman Condemned.

MIR. Quay, chairman of the republican
national campaign committee, doubtless
thought that be was playing trump card
when he secured the services of Charles n.
Litchman, the ex-general secretary of the
knights OF Labor, as a campaign orator
He hoped to control very large percentage
of the Knights of Labor vote through Mr..
Litchman's efforts. There are excellent
reasons, however, for thinking that he will
be disappointed Mr.. Powderly, the head
of the organization of the Knights of Labor,
has condemned Mr.. Litchmans course, and
various local assemblies Of the knights
have talcen occasion to make it known that
they have no sympathy either with Mr..
Litchman Or the cause he advocates.
One of the local assemblies Of Philadel-
pha has adopted resolutions coudemning
Mr.. Litchman for disappearing the
political views of its members and for
attempting to use the order for political
and financial considerations. 1t goes further
than that and while declaring that it does
not propose to take sides in politics, it pro
tests against the present tariff laws as being
unequal and unnecessarily burdensome, and
heartily approves the Mills bill las meas
ure calculated to bring prosperity, steady
work and better wages for every textile
worker in our country"
Mr. Quay hardly expected that the
effect of Mr.. Litcbman's course would be
the adoption of resolutions endorsing the
democratic policy of tariff reform. Indeed,
it begins to look as if Litchman would do
the Democratic party good by severing his
connection with the Knights of Labor and
enrolling himself as one of the henchmen of
the republican bosses.
The vorkingmen Of the country are study
ing the tariff question, and the more they
study it the moro closely they see that high
protection is making the rich richer, while
they themselves are becoming poorer They
have only to compare the condition of them
selves and their employers with what it was
a dozen years ago to be convinced that the
present high protective tariff does not ben
eft them. Their employers, in many in
stances, have become millionaires, while
their wages in many branches of labor have
steadily decreased.

An Inconsistent Record.

The Republican party insists that the
present tariff shall not be reduced in any
particular, and gives as the main reason for
its position that it desires to protect Ameri-
can workingmen in their wages Never
has there been a time in its history, how
ever, when it showed any anxiety to pro-
tect American workingmen against the
competition of the pauper labor of Europe
and cheap Chinese labor It was not until
the Democratic party came into power
that a genuine effort was made
to protect the American laborer The
Ford congressional committee, which has
been investigating the violations of the
contract labor laws, will soon report a
measure that will give American laborers
more protection than they ever enjoyed
while the Republican party was in power.
That committee discovered, during the in
vestigation which it conducted, that the
republican manufactures aud mine owners
were importing cheap labor from Europe.
while they demanded a high protective
tariff for the benefit, as they pretended, of
the American laborer, but really for their
own benefit.
Did anybody ever hear leading protec-
tionists insist that our doors should be
closed against cheap labor from ahroad9
The republicans have always demanded
that our doors should be wide open, and
that they have taken advantage of the
open doors is shown by the large number of
cheap foreign laborers in our factories and
mines.
What is the effect of the importation of
cheap contract labor upon wages9 There
can he but one, and that is to reduce them.
1t is quite safe to say that the republicans
have done more to reduce wages by their
Importation of labor than could be possibly
done by removing the protective duty from
every article on the tariff list. COMPETE
ton among workingnen is what reduces
wages, and the workngmen of this country
are beginning to understand that it is
The Democratic party is not in favor of
free trada in labor or anything else. but it
is in favor Of giving the workingman
cheaper necesSarieS of life.

THE DUCHESS CHANGED HER MIND
a Memorial Altar to the Late MI
Hammersly Will Not be Erected
From The Albd1ay Journal.


When several years ago the late lamented first
husband of Mrs. Hammersley, now the Duchess
OF Marlborough and formerly Lizzie Prce or
Troy. departed this life, she wrote touching
letter TO Bishop Doane asking permission to
erect in the new cathedral Of All Saints mag
nficent altar to his memory Nov the suspicion
has somehow gained strength and found its way
INTO very ariStocratic circles that the good
bishop was great deal more delighted at the
suggestion than if she had agreed TO act as god
mother TO one of his grandchildren, and the per
mission, it is reported. was given with an alac-
rity that was simply dazzling. Mrs. Ham
mersleys letter was carefully preserved and
when the cornerstone of the new cathedral
was laid the missive was among its honored
contents.
Mrs Hammersley's recent marriage to the
Duke of Marlborough is well known, and it
would seem thai the fair American feslinas
nave undergone a change. When the good
y shop OF Albany was in toe Cd country some
months ago, he called upon the duchess TO con.
ter 18th her regarding her memorial altar, and
was considerably surprised, perhaps shocked,
10 lind that she had changed her mind, and
That some, but not very many things we're
further from her intentions than donating
memorial altsr to All Saints cathedral at AL
bany, n. Y. Beyond this point the story does
not extend, ard whether or rot the bishop in
duced her 10 keep her promise is not known.
Az all events her letter is pretty securely built
INTO the cathedral wall, and her intention will

A Mistake Planters are Making.

The cotton planters should continue their
search for a substitute for jute bagging as
a wrapper for cotton, because those who
control the product of the jute bagging fac
tories, having found out that they can form
a pool and put up the price of bagging
whenever they please, will probably
''squeezs" them whenever they can do so
prOfitably.
1t is reported that a great many planters
are now holding back their cotton with the
hope that satisfactory substitute will be
found this season. If this report is true,
they are making a mistake, for two reasons.
One is that if cotton is held back now it will
have to come to market with a rush later in
the season. A rush of cotton means
lower prices. If the market is crowded, it
is pretty certain to become weak, and de-
cline of an eighth of a cent will take a great
deal more out Of the pockets of the planters
than the increased price which they are
now required to pay for bagging. The adj
ditional cost of bagging for bale of cotton
this year over last is about 2S cents. A fall
of a sixteenth of cent would more than
equal that amount, and if cotton were sent
to market i'll unusually large amounts,
would there not likely be decline in prices
of more than sixteenth of cent?
The second reason is that no substitute
has yet been found that can be used by the
planters TO such good advantage as jute
bagging. The MORNING News pointed out
the other day, that although osnaburg costs
less than bagging at present prices, yet the
planter who uses bagging gets from so
to 60 cents more per bale for bis cotton
than the one who uses osnabdrg. The
reason is that osnaburg doesn't weigh half
as much as bagging, and the wrapping of
is paid for cotton. Osnaburg, or other
light cotton stuff, could be used to adj
vantage if those who fix the price of
cotton should take into account the lighter
covering and deduct less tare, but they are
not likely to do that until the lighter cover
ing comes into general use
The only substitute which the planters
can use to advantage is secondhand bag
cling, which the factors at this port are
providing. They can get that at reason
able price, and they will suffer no loss in
selling their cotton, because it weighs as
much as new jute baggng. The main
point which we wish to make however, is
that planters make a mistake in holding
back their cotton. They are losers, not
only for the req SONS we have pointed out,
but also because the interest on the advances
made to them is steadily increasing in
amount

The Origin of 90. K"
From the Burlinofon (LrA Past

From Tie burlington DAD Post
The st. Louis Globe Democrat has Just started
the foolish story that the cabalistic sign 80.
k" had its origin in misapprehension OF
President Jackson, of whom it says that he was
in the habit of marking papers in that manner
that had been passed upon and approved 1t
intimates that he meant by that that they were
''oll correct. Another paper, Kentucky
Journal traces the use of the expression back
to the famous whig camp ign of 1910, and it is
not unlikely that it used then but its
real origin goes back further to the days when
Old KeoEuk' the only and original 20, K. used
to affix the initial letters of his name to gov.
eminent treaties at the time when Black Hawk,
his formidable rival, was kicking over the traces
and trying to create a muss by seeking to null
lily everything that he did. The 80 K" was
too much, however, for Black Hawk, and even
in that early day 1t quickly came to mean liter
ally what it is accepted as meaning to-day-that
it was proper and in good form. We believe
that the best authorities are agreed that this
was the true origin of the term.

A Conjugation.

Shall give you lesson sweet;
In the long dead tongue of the Latin race?
Come sit by my side and I'll hold your hand,
And read the translation in your face
Grammars the theme I'll now take up,
And verb and its forms will thee show;
pleasure rare it will be to me
To teach you to conjugate Amo.
Amo, love, say it after me;
And repeat it again, lest it be forgoU
AnlO, love, the sweetest words
That ever the brain of man begot
Antds, thou lowest. Do you indeed?
How sweet it falls on my listening ear,
And would be happy and blest for life
Were the one that you hold thus dear
Amut he loves. Oh, it is the truth;
For soc how his eyes their secret speak;
They tell it far better than worl of mouth
For in loves lore his tongue is weak
But away with words and lenses vain,
tbs folly play to teach you this,
When all can be learned in moments time
Ano can be taught with a single kiss.

HIS appeal to democrats to vote for Mr..
CLEVELAND is a continuation of their at
tempt to make it appear that Gov Hill and
President Cleveland are not on friendly
terms, and are ready at any time to "knife"
each other. They have been engaged for
some time in the attempt, but it seems that
they haven't sense enough TO see that they

The Fever ct Gainesville.

The outbreak of the fever at Gainesville
complicates matters very greatly in Florida.
With quarantine against that place, it will
be difficult matter to get freight in or out
of that state, or to keep up mail communca-
ton.
The number of cases at Gainesville is re-
ported to be six, and they are all among
the volunteer soldiery who went to Fernan-
dina a couple of weeks ago to assist in
putting doAn riot among 'longshoremen
at that place. AS Fernandina is said
to be healthy, and as there has been no
fever reported at that place, they must
either have passed through some infected
locality or occupied a car in which
there had been persons infected with the
fever Assuming that this theory is correct,
the Importance of keeping out of the in
fected district, and away from persons who
have been exposed to the infection, or things
which have been where they could become
infected. and which have not been thor
oughly disinfected, is emphasized by this
new outbreak.
AS it is beginning to get late in the season,
there is some little ground for hoping that
the fever at Gainesville will not prove to be
serious. 1t must be admitted, however,
that with six cases to begin with, and frost
probably two months away, the outlook is
rather gloomy.
