CHICAGO, Sept. 1G-Rev. Charles II.
Fowler, ID. ID. of San Francisco, q
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
church who has just completed a trip
around the globe, to-day expressed the
belief that ten years hence America
would pay for its anti-Chinese laws
with the blood of her citizens He
occupied the entire session of the
Methodist ministers to-day in speaking
about his observations of missionary
work abroad, the object of his trip
being to personally inspect the work
ings of foreign missions. In speaking
of the law prohibiting the Chinese
from coming to America, Bishop Fow-
Ter said it was the most dastardly and
disgusting thing that America ever
did, and he said with slow empha-
sis which was very impressive, lit will
be paid for some day by the blood of
some of Americas best men,, He
thought every American should blush
for shame when he thought of the
violation of the treaty with China
whereby Cinnamon were refused per-
mission to land on our shores. "China
is not asleep" he said. They talk
little, but they think, In some of the
interior towns | met Cinnamon who
would surprise you by their knowledge,
You lowed landee in China?' they ask.
Yes / replied. Cinnamon no lowed
landee in Melica,' they reply; why you
lowed come here?' One man said to
me one day: Me no Clistian or me
sendee you way | tell you they are
thinking and trouble is brewing. The
greatest prince in China said to me one
day: We are looking after our home
interests now. Ten years Will put
China in shape as to her interior ar
engagements; then we will look after
her outside interests They are max
ing great guns and ironclads and are
manning them. In ten years country
with one-third of the inhabitants of
the globe will be ready to ask what we
meant by tritiing with her treaty"

E.ncns;ge Education.

Harvard is the most expensive college
in the United States, and is fast becom-
ing such a luxury that only rich mems
SONS can afford it. Some of the profes-
sors themselves rather discourage poor
young men from attempting the course.
By extraordinary economy q youth can
manage on $500 year, but this will not
permit him to indulge in any of the
amusemcnts so dear to the heart of
young men. The maximum eXpendi-
ture, so far as ascertained, is $1,000 n
year One thousand dollars will enable
the student to get on comfortably. The
item of greatest expense is room rent.
Then many of the rich students fit up
their quarters extravagantly, which
makes the poor boy feel shabby and
mean with his humble furnishings.
There ought to be Il rule in American
colleges that all rooms shall be furnished
alike

A Celebrated Case.

The Flack fraudulent divorce case is
the most notable and sensational affair
of the kind on record. Sheriff James A.
Flack. of New York, is popularity sup
posed to be In receipt of $4,000 a wear.
His alleged divorce left his wife perni
less. He had allowed her, it seems, as a
favor, So week. For this reason She
had the case reopened and the divorce
set aside, and she is now again the only
lawful wife of the reluctant James.
1t is perhaps unfortunate that two per-
sons must he held together by the law
when they detest one another and quar-
rel like cat and dog. But it is public
infamy for n divorce to be obtained by
the Flack method. 1t was vile con-
spiracy from beginning to end. Those
whose names are connected with it were
Lawyer Ambrose Mcneil, a civil Justice,
Joseph Meeks, high official of the coun-
ty clerks office, Flack, the sheriff, and
Will Flack, his son, who in this case
seems to lave aided and abetted the con-
spiracy to defraud his own mother. The
couple were married in 1850. 1t is I'M
fortunate that after thirty mine years of
married life all parties could not have
endured their woes few years longer.
But there was another woman whom,
report says, the sheriff wished to make
his wife de jure, as she had long been de
factO That was the trouhIe
Mcneil was Flack's friend and counsel.
Meeks was his very intimate friend.
One day Lawyer Mcneil asked lawyer
friend, Benjamin Wright, to stand as
Mrs. Flack's lawyer and sign her applica-
ton for divorce. There was nothing to
do but sign his name, he was told, as
matter of form. Both sides wanted a
divorce, and the case would go before a
referee. Benjamin Wright was an oblSs,-
ing man. He consented to let his name
go as Mrs. Flack's lawyer, though he
never saw her and she never saw him
The court was very obliging, and kindly
appointed Intimate Friend Meeks referee
Friend Meeks in due course reported,
and testified over his own signature that
Mrs. Mary E. Flack appeared personally
and testified, when as matter of fact
Mrs. Flack never had heard of her own
application for divorce.
The divorce was granted on July 12.
Aug. a young newspaper man sud-
denly appeared before Mrs. EIack, and,
touching his hat politely, asked her what
she had to say about her divorce. That
was the first intimation she had of it.
Then she took active measures at once
and had the divorce set aside.
But what will be done with the con-
spirators remains to be seen. The in
fanny has already begun to work its
destructive results. Flack was grand
sachem of Tammany. He has had
to resign the Office Meeks has been
obliged to give up his place in the
clerks Office. OF course, the shrievalty
of New York cannot continue to be rep
resented by a man with such blot on
his name. Honest people can congratu-
late themselves that the villainy and de
ccption were SO soon uamasEel.

"OIr ?aupcrs I'm Blues

This is the sympathetic heading of
an editorial article in the Charleston
Nacs and Courier, which begins with
this astonishing declaration "The
intelligent and patriotic people of the
North are becoming very tired of the
old soldier element" Again: lie ap-
peared in all the party platforms, is the

attack upon the Union soldier comes
with poor grace from the town where

Disgraceful EoodIeism.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Sept IS
n very disgraceful exposure has just
been made here, which duplicates two
members of the common council in this
city and police officer The names
of the persons implicated are Sidney
ID. Waters, Peter Dueber and William
Gillespie. These men are charged with
having formed conspiracy to ap-
rroprlate the funds and supplies
furnished by contribution for the relief
OF those who suffered by the recent
disastrous fire
a bitter feeling prevails over the
exposure. At meeting held here it
was resolved to protect the city's good
name by prosecuting to the full extent
of the law. Warrants were sworn
out by \. NJ. Cannon, chairman of the
relief committee, for the arrest of
Sydney ID. Waters, Peter Deuber and
William Gillespie, on Il charge of grand
larceny, and they were arrested. 1t is
understood that other warrants will be
sworn cut tomorrow. 1t has long been
suspected that a conspiracy existed in
the council for the purpose of doodle,
and permanent citizens, committee
has been organized to protest the peo-
pie against recurrence of official mis-
conduct OF any character.

The following taken from the Du-
luth Herald of " ednesday needs no
explanation. 1t is the first death-iat-
tie from the braggarts across the bay:
'"rhe circular sent out to the agents
of the Manitoba system lnStructing
them to discriminate against Duluth
by the eXaction of switching charges
on wheat freight is an unproyohed and
unbearable blow at this city. There is
no preteXt for 1t that viii bear a mo-
ment's examination. 1t sets at nought
all considerations emitting Duluth in
common fairness and reason to be ac-
counted the Eastern terminal of the
Manitoba system. This IS offense
enough, but the blow overreaches this
even. 1t breaks and throws aside
with contempt a formal obligation as
sumcd with the transfer of rights and
privileges of the Duluth Terminal
company to the Eastern railway of
Minnesota, assuring the same termin-
al rates to all points at the head of the
lakes.
This affront and injury to Duluth
viii not bear tamely The discrimin-
alton is matter of grave concern in
Itself, taxing our wheat business as it
does and apparently seeking to divert
it across the bay. But there is more
behind it. If wheat for Duluth can
be taxed i'll this way why not any
other kind of freight or all kinds des-
tined for this city? What will hold
the hand of the president of the Mani
toba if he is suffered to strike this
blow with impunityy What new de
vices may he not invent to fill the
drained pockets of his railway system
and build up his Superior interests at
the expense of Duluth! 1t is the priE-
ciple of the tax which we resent more
than the tax itself. If this exaction is
allowed to stand as a precedent, if he
is permitted to violate the obligation
of the Terminal Railway company,
and to disregard what Duluth is en-
titled to in common justice and in re-
turn for the benefits conferred on this
road then we may expect to be treated
with contempt and to suffer such other
encroachments as he may see fit to
make.
Hence we hope there Will be no yield
ing to this imposition nor any patched
up compromise. 1t should be fought
from the start and the fight should be
as hot as Duluth can make it. Mr.
Hill should be made to comprehend
from the crown of his head to the sole
Of his feet that this city does not i'll
tend to be side tracked by his road
or treated as a way station on its line
to Superior Now Duluth is the
steamer terminus. Transfer the bulk
of the grain 10y rail to Superior by this
mean discrimination, and the steamers
will go there too with their passenger
and and freight business. Then Supe-
riOr VIII say to every capitalist, mer-
chant and manufacturer, "I on are
not safe in locating across the bay
The Manitoba system may conclude at
any time to charge extra on every
pound Of freight to and from Duluth.
So come to us and be sure of every
favor. Our city is the terminal and
pet of the Manitoba" That is what
Duluth Will see and hear if the new
switching tax stands. Kick it over"

prepared to run as many different lines

enough at present. We have in the coun-

to support them, consequently they can
not all live and be honest. There must

their dew-laden feet in the hydrant
