BAYARD AND CHINESE.

| SAM ranciSco Post.
The new Chinese treaty, ifreport prove
true, has hole in it that is about the
size of a barn door. 1t provides for the
| admission of Chinese who will swear to
| a previous residence, and to the accumu-
lation of 81 900 worth of property in this
country.
1t should be plain to congress, and
even to Secretary Bayard, that the men
who would perjure themselves on the
previous residence proposition would not
hesitate at little thing like swearing to
the possession Of 81 900, or even So 900,
If it were necessary.
If the Chinese here are to be allowed
to go and come at all. the opportunity
for oral testimony must be denied. Oral
testimony, SO far as the class of Chinese
seeking entrance to this country is con-
cerned, is another name for perjury.
1t is highly desirable that the Chinese
who leave this country should not re-
turn. But if the east considers that thus
Is too harsh a measure for its approval.
we must insist on the provisions for pre-
venting the incoming of the Chinese
who have not been here before The
treaty and laws must provide that no
oral testimony shall be received, and
that previous residence is to be eStab-
ished by a certificate issued on depart
nre, and must above all provide that
those who departed before certificates
We're issued or without certificates have
waived their privilege of return. If this
is expressed in both law and treaty. it
may be observed by the federal courts.
1t is stated that the treaty extends the
present restrictions ON immigration to
1898. This provision should not be in
cluded in the treaty. The United States
reserved perpetually the right Of exclud-
ing the Chinese by the treaty of 1850.
The time of exclusion should be left to
congress alone. 1t is a right of the ma
ton, and should not be surrendered, even
in the manner proposed. From the
present outlook the American people
will make that exclusion perpetual for
the laboring class, and Mr.. Bayard
should not attempt to bind it to any
other course

The Hero of The Throttle.

Philadelphia Times
None of the passengers killed? That's
good; lay he down; go0d-by, boys.
Such were the last words of Engineer
Robert Gardner, who died at his loco
motive throttle on Sunday night last in
the railroad collision near Huntingdon.
He could have saved himself but he was
charged with the safety of many passen-
gers, and he died at his post to save
those whose lives We're intruSted TO his
fidelity.
When he saw that fearful collision
was inevitable. he thought only of the
responsible duty he had accepted. and he
stood to his throttle and gave his own
life to lessen the peril to the strangers
who We're in his care. He weakened
the crash of the collision by standing
herOlcally at the post OF duty, and
when he was eXtricated from the wreck,
MORALLY crushed and mangled. he
thought only of the others committed to
his care. When told that none of the
passengers were killed. his last words
were: That's good; lay me down; good
by, boys"
We keep green the memories of those
who seek and win fame on the field OF
battle, but where in all the bloody con-
tiiCt of armies is there exhibited the
grander courage that gives life TO duty
and to the safety Of other. when life
could be saved by peril of others: In all
the stories of heroism there is none more
luStrous than the hero of the throttle.
who. having saved his passengers by
sacrificing his own life, when told of the
safety to those inrrusted to his fidelity
sank to rest. saying That's good; lay me
down: good by, boys"

Eighteen states have passed laws
against the sale of police papers aud
kindred publications: and it is the opin-
ion of those best informed that other
states will pass similar laws if the sub
ject is properly brought before their re-
spective legislatures. Parents and
teachers everywhere should come to the
rescue of the young in this regard.
There Is enough deadly literature going
the rounds and flooding the mails of our
land to ruin score of boys and girls
every day. Enough will go astray at
the best, but the list is fearfully aug
mented by obscene publications.
The New York Police Gazette
should be excluded from the United
States mails and expelled from every rail-
road train in the land. We speak of this
for its character is so widely known.
That poison of all poisons, the dime
novel; or yellow backed literature,
should be consigned to the flames where
ever found. This highway to ruin is
thronged with your victims who have
learned their first lessons from bad liter

Like Singing Psalms.

Kansas City star:
Congress has been in session now for
more than three months. and what has
1t done: 1t has been so dilatory in its
proceedings that it has justified the criti-
cism that 1T has been in session longer
and done less than any Of It's predeces-
sors in like period OF time. The report
Is current, whether true or not, that
Speaker Carlisle has become discouraged
by the slow progress made, and has ex-
horted the Democrats of the house TO be-
come more diligent. This, TO be sure. is
the long session, but it is no reason for
occupying time in idleness.H The tariff
bin will soon be laid before congress,
when long and tedious debate may be
expected. Meanwhile. other legislation
is being neglected. and, coming on later,
1t may not receive the attention it de-
serves.

GARFIELD COUNTY.
One of Ravanna's Business Men Talks OF
Her Prospects

W. II. Speck, of Ravanna, Garfield
county, was in the city yesterday. The
EAGLE feeling an interest in all the new
counties west and always on the alert for
news concerning them, Mr.. Sharp was
asked by an EAGLE reporter what he
had TO say for his county.
eve have one of the best counties in
the state" said Mr. Speck my town Ra-
wanna is in the Pawnee valley and it is
excellent land. We had fair crops in
our county last year and great prepar-
ations are now going on for extensive
farming this year. Our farmers are, in
fact, now at work like badgers, and ev-
erything indicates prosperity. Garfield
is one of the counties that did not ask
for aid. We had plenty Of grain and
feed for stock. Our people are hopeful
and have faith that our county will in
the future, be a great agricultural
county.
What sort of crops are you planting
this spring?
Mostly corn aud sorghum. Corn has
already proved profitable crop and we
have great faith in sorghum. 1t grows
to perfection in our county, and
should not be surprised if it yet turns
out to be one of the principle products of
that county.
How Is Ravanna prospecting?
We now have something over five
hundred people and it is real lively
town. For place only three years old
it makes a good showing. 1t is the
county seat and is connected by stage
lines with Ness City, Dighton, Jetmore,
Garden City: Cimaron and Dodge City.
We have plenty of good binding stone
out there. and already have some very
good blocks two stories high built of
this material. Everything now indi
Gates that we will have
building boom this year. Arrangements
are already being made to erect some
fine houses. Everything now indicates
that we will have large immigration to
our county this summer.
What are your prospects for railroads?
We expect the Frisco road from An
thony this summer, and the Rock Island
from Dodge City. There is not much
doubt but the Rock Island will be built
in the fore part of the summer, and the
Frisco people are trying to make ar
rangements to build to Ravenna this
summer also. There is no doubt what
ever of their receiving the aid required,
and think they will come. Then there
is the Chicago & Western; we have
good prospect for getting that road too
from Jetmore. If you will get your rail-
road map and look over it, and take
in the location OF the various roads,
now building and about to be built, you
will see that Ravanna is favorable located
to get good many of them. will just
make prediction, and you may call me
a false prophet if l miss. That is that
Ravanna will have four railroads in less
than three years from today, and two of
them in less than fifteen months from
this time.

solicitude for the welfare of his employees
and his approachability were well

party of gentlemen We're out over the

some point III Iowa fireman came to
the car and asked for a personal inter
view with Mr.. Potter, which was grant
ed. On coming back to the car Mr..
Potter was asked who the man was. and
said he was fireman who had been dis
charged, and had appealed to him for
justice; that he had heard the mans
case and concluded that if his story was
true. the man had been badly treated,
and that he was going to investigate the
matter and find out, and. if the man S
story was true, he would be reinstated.
Whereupon one of the gentlemen
present asked if he was bothered much
in this way. He said he did not con-
slider it bother; that he often had men
come to him that had been discharged,
and, while most of the cases had been
just dismissals, in some instances he had
found men had been dismissed for in
sufficient reasons, and had seen that they
were reinStated.

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.

The New Orleans mes-Democrat
which will certainly not be accused of
being Republican newspaper, is very
bitter in its attacks upon Mills and his
tariff bill, and thinks it about time
Democratic newspapers quit exposing
their ignorance by charging the thrust"
to the account of the tariff. 1t calls
attention to the recent report of the
New York senate committee, which it
says did not mix up these two alien
subjects. as the chairman of the WAYS
and means committee wants to do, and
as matter of fact found that the great
est and most monopolistic combinations
were On articles not protected by the
tariff, pointing out the Standard oil COM
pany as an illustration; and the Times
Democrat adds this statement, which all
know to be true: 1T is this trust, I'M
protected by the tariff, that has been the
forerunner and prototype of all the other
monopolies and combinations that have
been made in various branches of trade
and industry"
The New York senate committee be-
ieve that the trust can be regulated and
its harmfulnesS destroyed by law. Two
committees of congress have the ques-
ton under consideration. and it is prob
able that bill will be shortly introduced
to break the tightening fold of the bust
ness anaconda which threatens to crush
the life out of the people. If drafted for
an honest purpose, however. the bill
will have no reference to the tariff.

The Washington Sunday Republic as
serts of its own knowledge Secretary vi
las has in his hands papers charging Pen
sion Commissioner Black with reta lining
in the public service, for personal and
political reasons, men who have been
proved to be dishonest. and guilty of re-
turning false vouchers and reports to the
government. 1t further asserts that. al
though Secretary Villas has promised
over his own signature, to investigate
these charges, he has persistently neg
lected to do so. These are serious charges,
and the Sunday Republic knows its liza
bility under the law. The allegations are
direct, and if they are not true, those
upon whom they reflect cannot be too
quick in bringing the accused into court
to answer for the libel. Failure to take
that step will be accepted by the public
as an admission of guilt.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Mr.. Potters Successor.

Mr.. Thomas L. Kimball, who was ap-
pointed general manager of the Union
Pacific last Saturday, is spoken of very
highly by st. Louis managers. He is a
man. they say, in every way qualified to
assume the responsible position made
vacant by Mr.. Potter's death. The Union
Poetic wants an aggressive manager,
and in looking over the entire country
they could not find one who came SO
near filling the bill as Mr.. Potter. His
first selection was the appointment of an
assistant, and the man chosen was the
one who is now filling the position OF
general manager. Mr.. kimball is man
of varied and extensive experience in
the railroad business. having occupied
almost every position of any Importance
on a railroad.

The announcement Of the death of
Chief Justice Waite, which will be found
in this mornings dispatches, is not only
a surprise, but cause for universal re-
greet. His death was wholly unexpected
because no mention has been made of
his illness, which was of short duration.
Justice Waite enjoyed to the full the
esteem and confidence of the entire COM
munity. He stood at the head of the
profession of which he was the official
head, his rulings and opinions being less
criticised or questioned perhaps than
those of any of his illustrious predeces-
sors. Who will fill the vacancy on the
supreme bench caused by his death is
hardly cOnjectural just now; though it
is safe to say he will not be called from
