only a little time back. Very
likely no better quality is nOW
Ioc, or more, in some stores
The wonder is to find it at &c,
Good for service, safe to wash,
heavy enough for careless wear
in careless places, and slightly
enough for any Bingham turn
out. Medium colors, mostly
plain, few stripes.
A little coarser, a wink less
of style, perhaps, and you
have the &C Ginghams; or, one
step the other way to a bit
more fneness, and noticeably
more art, and there's the Ioc

No ONE has attempted TO reply to the
argument that the country was at peace
and that the Force bill would bring
political domestic and industrial dis
turbances. The guiss Of justice and fair
ness. under which the use of troops at
the polls is advocated, does mot de-
ceive any one. The bill wsuld never
have been advocated were the
Republican party not in its
present exigencies, During the Cleveland
administration which restored harmony
between the great sections Of the country
and almost obllterated the imaginary
lines of dsmarkation between the North
and the South, many Northern cspital-
lists invested in land and industries
in the Southern States. Any sort
of agitation, no matter under what
beautiful plea, which will force the
ignorant, supeTstitious and careless
negroes to attend TO political
duties, will prevent them fro~
attending TO their Industrial duties
Political agitation units the negro FOL
any other duties just as continued re
ligious excitement dethrones his reason
The country can easily survive without
the ballots OF those who are too ignorant
or teo careless to deposit them. The dut,
OF suffrage Is fer those who are iRtelli-
gent and patriotic Any attempts Il
force those who are neither intelligen
nor patriotic will be disastrous to the in
dustries 1t would be the same II th,
Republican party needed the vote
Of the Indians and had filed them wit
frswater and excited their passion
against their "pAle-fAced" neighbors.

THE Nashville American wisely re-
marks that I'VE can make tie RePubli-
can party so tired OF it's Federal election
policy In q single campaign, that IL will
be glad enough to get rid Of It," That
is true. One campaign of open criticism
on the partisan appolntees under that
bill will disgust the country. Besides
that, for every carpet Dagger Represen-
tative the Republicans acquire from the
South by force, fraud and fSlse count
under that bill, the Democrats will get
three Representative from the North
and Northwest from disgust. 1t
Is wretched bad politics for the confession
that the bill makes Of the failure Of the
Republican party schemes, influence. and
sor the confession. that 1t is in such dread
full straits in the North and Northwest
that II will lose power unless Rspresen-
tatives are gathered In by the ignorant

for suffrage that any country could have.

the confessions It makes are enough TO
ruin the party proposing 1t.

agree as TO the Policy to be Followed.

Secretary Tracy and Commodore Ramsay ap-
peared before the Senate naval committee YES
terday with regard TO the appropriations TO be
made this year for future work in the line Of
naval construction. There is a disposition on
the part Of the committee TO limit appropria-
tons for navy yard plants TO what already
exists, in order that more work may
be thrown to the private contractors.
Secretary Tracy hopes 10 be able TO
SO build up each of the larger yards as to
make il possible to do any work in them that
cannot be given 10 outside contractors On ac-
count of high bids. If this policy should be
followed out the navy yard plants would

HARD TO KEEP CHINAMEN OUT.
The Report of Inspector Coon Sent to
the Senate.

Ihe Secretary of the Treasury sent to the
Senate yesterday a report of Datus T.. Coon,
Chinese inspector of the department at san
Diego dated April q. Mr. Coon writes that
the Chinese are coming into the United States
despite the effort of the customs officers 70
keep them out The arrests made last month
he thinks, had a salutary effect in checking the
traffic. Twenty-six Cinnamon are now in Gus
tody and the Portuguese captain of the schooner
Benicia Boy is in Jail for having brought ten
Cinnamon within the United States lines I'M
lawfully. One of the Chinese employers of
the captain has been arrested on the captains
confession and the other is being pursued
Thirty complaints were filed by Mr. Coon with
the United States commissioner during the
month. Mr.. Coon thinks the present force en-
tlrely inadequate to prevent the smuggling
which Is gong on over the Mexican border.
The Scott act, he says. is practically failure.
because while a Chinaman is under arrest he is
able to make arrangements with his friends to
bring him in again and to take him 10 some
other town where he will not be known. The
smuggling of Cinnamon is very profitable and
has heavy capital behind it, The price paid

Chinaman he thinks some other method of

the subject are made with Great Britain and

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
A COlOred Man With Three Names on
Trial in the Criminal Court.

In the Criminal Court. Chief Justice Bing-
ham, this morning colored man, VIM. John
son alias VIM. Colbert alias VIM. Ryan, was
placed on trial for perjury in making a false
affidavit in the pension case of John +. Brown,
a soldier of company A, first regiment United
States colored troops, before L. l. ONeal,
notary public, December 4, 1888, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney C. II. Armes for the government
and Mr. A. b. Waller for the defendant
Mr.. Armes opened the case, stating that the
prisoner had several aliases.
Mr. Waller, for the defendant, said that the
correct name was Colbert. but when the pris-
oner left his old master, William johnson. in
Virginia. in 1868. he took the masters name.
He was ignorant as to how the alias of VIM. RYAN
got into the case.
Mr.. Armes replied that. under the name
of Ryan. the prisoner had plead guilty TO an
indictment charging him with personating
Ryan in bounty case and was sentenced to the
penitentiary.
Mr.. Waller asked the court to note the state
ment, for it would be grounds fer a new trial
Mr.. Armes said he had simply replied to Mr.
Waller
THE TESTIMONY.
MIR. O'Neal testified to administering the
oath to the affidavit On crosse xamination
witness said that Johnson stated it had been
read to him and he understood it.
/. 5. Smith and Il. W. Parkhill testified to
witnessing the signature in Mr.. O'Neals Office
+. VI. Taylor. special e. Examiner of the Pension
Office, testified to the papers in the Brown
case on file; that the affidavit referred to was in
support of the claim which was for wounds
received in battle; and he further stated that
johnson admitted making the affidavit in
question.
+ Witness also read an affidavit made by John
son that he met Brown at the Capitol the year
before for tie first time since the war and
after a talk with HIM made the affidavit lie
also said that he had not been In the peniten-
tlary.
On cross-examination witness said that he
had examined the roll of company A. first col
ored troops, and found one John Brown and
one William Johnson in that company and one
john Brown IN company j of that regiment
Thomas Hepburn testified that as W. H.
johnson he served az "A corporal of company
\. FIRST United States colored troops. There was
no other VIM. II. johnson IN the company. He
first saw defendant in 1875 and he was then
under the name of Vim. III. Johnson and at the
court house. There was a John Brown in the
company, but the man produced was not the
one.
The government offered TO prove that John
son, under the name of Ryan, was the person
identified for false presentation in a bounty
case in 1875, and after argument the offer was
oyerruled
