Anti-Chinese History.

The warlike position taken by the Mas
ter Laundrymen's association of New
York and New Jersey at its meeting in
New York city the other day is loaded
with food for retrospective thought.
Those who have followed the anti-Chi-
nese agitation during the past twenty
years see in the present predicament of
the laundry employers the irony of fate.
When the working people Of the west de-
CLAIMED so loudly few years ago against
cheap Chinese labor the employing class
all over the land, with rare exceptions,
became indignant at what was charac-
terized as an unreasonable and un-Amer-
lean sentiment. The workingmen were
told that they must submit to fair COM
petition in the wage market, and the
military of the government was brought
forward to support the employers in their
right to buy labor where they could get
it cheapest. White men and women
were even turned out of the laundries to
make room for the low priced Mongo-
liam. But free competition in capitals
field is another thing. 1t makes differ
ence whose OK is gored.
The cigarmaking industry in San Fran
cisco had an experience few years ago
exactly like that of the laundrymen at
present. The owners Of the large fac
tories in that city replaced their white
workmen with the nimble fingered, low
priced Celestial. The change worked all
right, from the employers standpoint,
until the Cinnamon, who quickly mas
n =
ing, began to establish factories of their
own, and to crowd the white bosses to
the wall. Then what change took
place! Today there are no fiercer anti
Chinese agitators on the globe than the
cigar manufacturers of San Francisco
who were forced out of business or are
still hopelessly struggling against Chinese
competition.

The masses are poor, ignorant and dis
organized, not knowing the rights OF
mankind on tho earth, and never know
ing that the world belongs to its living
population, because small class in every
country has taken possession of property
and government, and makes laws for its
own safety and the security OF its plum
der, educating the masses, generation af-
ter generation, into the belief that this
condition is the natural order and the
law of God. BY long training and sub
mission the people everywhere have
come to regard the assumption Of their
rulers and owners as the law of right
and common sense, and, their own blind
Instincts, which tell them that all men
ought to have a plenteous living on this
rich planet, as the promptings of evil
and disorder.
The qualities we naturally dislike and
fear in man are those which insure
success under our present social order,
namely, shrewdness, hardness, adroit-
ness, selfishness, the mind to take adj
vantage of necessity, the will to trample
on the weak i'm the canting name OF
progress and civilization" The quail
ties we love in man send him to the
poor house-generosity, truth, trustful-
ness, friendliness, unselfishness, the de-
sire to help, the heart to pity, the mind
to refuse profit from a neighbours loss or
weakness, the defense of the weak.
Our present civilization is organized
injustice and intellectual barbarism. Our
progress is march to Srecipice.
The Sermon on the Mount and natural
justice can rule the world, or they can
not. If they can, our present ruling is
the invention of the devil; if they can
not, the devil has right to rule-if the
people let him-but he ought not to call
his rule christian civilization" Yours
very truly, JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY.

DereIict inspectors.

For several weeks the federal contract
labor inspectors at Castle Garden, New
York, have failed to Fad anybody who
has landed in violation of the alien con-
tract law, though it was an open secret
that almost every ship brought workmen
appointed to positions here before they
left the other side" One day recently
the commissioners of emigration took
the matter in their own hands when the
emigrants from the North German Lloyd
steamship Aller were being landed, as
none of the four federal contract labor
inspectors was on duty. The result was
that six contract laborers are in custody
of the emigrant officials and $50 more
bound for the mines in Pennsylvania
were discovered. = Philadelphia TeIe-

The pope and the Labor Question.

When Emperor William wrote letter
to the pope informing him that Bishop
Kopp, of Breslau, had been appointed
one of the German delegates to the labor
conference he declared, that he relied
upon the support Of the Catholic clergy
in settling the social question.
The pope, in reply to the letter, thanked
his majesty for the appointment of Bishop
Kopp, and indicated that himself and
the church had always been interested
in the question, which, he said, would
best be solved by the application of the
Christian principles Of Sunday rest and
religious education. Berlin Special.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, April 3D.
Monday night about 9 o'clock fire was dis
covered in the lamp room of the steamer
Continental, bound down and ore laden.
When about three miles from the head of
the canal the steamer in an effort to turn
out of the wind collided with her consort
the Magnetic, striking her amidships and
cutting through her planking. The mag
netic sank in twenty-feet of water, only
her night heads forward being visible. The
fire in the Continental was overcome after
a hard fight and after her forward cabin
was destroyed and mainmast damaged.
The Magnetic has about 1900 tons of ore

RE CHALLENGE.
have a vague remembrance


have vague remembrance
OF q story that is told
CT some ancient Spanish legend
Or chronicle Of old.
II was when brave King Sanches
Was before Zamora slain,
And his great besieging army
Lay encamped upon the plain.
Don Diego de Ordonez
Sailed forth In front of all,
And shouted loud his challenge
To the warders on the wall
AL che people of Zamora,
Both the born and the unborn,
As traitors did he challenge
With haunting words of scorn-
Tho living In their houses,
And I'm their graves the deadI
And the waters Of their rivers
And their wine, and oil, and bread!
There IL greater army,
That besets us round with strife,
A starving, numberless army.
AT all the gates OF life.
The poverty stricken millions
Who challenge our wine and bread,
And impeach MS all as traitors,
Both the living and the dead
And whenever sit at the banquet,
Where the feast and song are high,
Amid the mirth and the mus:
lean hear that fearful cry.
And hollow and haggard faces
Look into the lighted hall.
And wasted hands are extended
To catch the crumbs chat fall
For within there is light and plenty,
And odors fill the air;
But without there is cold and darkness,
And hunger and despair.
And there in the camp of famine,
In wind and cold and rain,
Christ, the great Lord of the army,
Lies dead upon the plain

He Didn't Count on the Plaster.

va -
There isa young man living in
Manning, a good-looking fellow, who
has sweetheart out in the country a
few miles, and he spends two even
ings in every week in her society. A
few nights ago he stayed to the usu-
al hour, and as he passed out the front
door he discovered that it was cloudy
and dark. He did not relish the idea
of going home alone through the
gloomy night, and limited a good deal
to get an invitation to remain, but it
was not forthcoming. But the young
man was equal to the emergency. Co.
ing down the steps he artfully contri-
we'd to slip and fall gently to the
ground. Thereupon he set up tre-
mendous groaning. The ruse worked
admirably. The girl screamed and the
men came and carried the young man
tenderly into the house. Then he was
assisted to undress and deposited in
the spare room. He had barely begun
to chuckle over the success Of the
stratagem when the girls mother put
in an appearance, armed with mus
tard plaster foot square. This she
immediately proceeded to clap on the
young mans shoulders where he in
cautiously located the damage to his
frame. For two mortal hours that wo-
man sat by the bed, and was not sat-
isfed till she beheld blister an inch
deep. The young man is now reform
ed. MAX.

Ing story OF Grady, told by himself to

Consolation, proves that the strong
man had child's heart He visited
his mother on Christmas year ago,
and he says
don't think I ever felt happier
than when I reached the little home
of my boyhood. I got there at night.
She had saved supper for me and she
had remembered all the things I liked.
She toasted me some cheese over the
fire. Why, I hadn't tasted anything
like it since put off my round jack
cts. And then she had some home
made candy she knew I used to love,
and, bless her heart! just felt six
teen again as we sat and talked, and
she told me how she prayed for me
and thought of me always and what a
brightness I had been to her life, and
how she heard me coming home in
every boy that whistled along the
street. When I went to bed she
came and tucked the cover all around
me in the dear old way that none but
mothers hands know, and l felt SO
happy and SO peaceful and so full OF
tender love aud tender memories that
1 cried happy, grateful tears until ]
went to sleep.
When he finished, says the nara.
tor, his eyes were full OF tears, and SO
were mine. He brushed his hano
across his brow swiftly and said
laughingly:-"Why, what are yor
CRYING about?" What do you know
about all this sort Of feeling ?"
Grady was real man, and in tht
present crisis his wise counsels WI!

DOES EXPERIENCE COUNT?

It does, n every line of business and es-
pecially in compounding and preparing
medicines. This is illustrated in the great
superiority of Hoods Sarsaparilla over
other preparations, as shown by the re-
markable cures it has accomplished.
The head of the firm of c. I. Hood Il Co..
is thoroughly competent and experienced
pharmacist, having devoted his whole life
to the study and actual preparation of med
icines. He is also a member Of the Massa-
chusetts and American Pharmaceutical AS
sociations, and continues actively devoted
to supervising the preparation of and man
aging the business connected with Hoods
Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar merit
of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built upon the
most substantial Foundation In its prepar-
alton there is represented all the knowledge
which modern research in medical science
has developed, combined with long expert
ence, brain-work, and experiment. 1t is
only necessary to give this medicine a fail
trial to realize its great curative value.

A Quick Pardon.

Mr.. Moses Levi was thrown into
CONSERVATION last Monday by having
his butler, Raymond Wilson, arrested
for being an escaped convict from the
penitentiary. It appears that Wilson
was convicted in 1878, at the Darling
ton court, of grand larceny, and sen
fenced to three years in the peniten-
tiary. It was in the good old days OF
Radical stealing, and Wilson was sent
out with others to do work at Gov.
Moses's house. He says that it was a
common thing for prisoner TO quiet
ly walk away and not return, so one
day he thought he would do likewise.
He came down to Clarendon, where
he has since lived. He was employed
more than twelve years ago by Mr..
Levi, and Mr.. Levi says he is the best
negro he ever had. When he was ar
rested, Mr.. Levi at once got up a pc
tition stating that Wilson was a
straightforward honest man, with q
'spotless reputation, that he had for a
number of years voted the Democrat
ic ticket, etc. This was signed by the
solicitor, the county officers, and about
every prominent person in the place.
Another petition was signed by the
colored people. Armed with this pc
tition and accompanied by the sher-
if, Mr.. Levi went to Columbia yes
terday, and obtained from the Gov
error an immediate pardon. Wilson
had in the meantime been put back
into the penitentiary, had had his
head shaved, and his convict clothes
on, and had been put to work, he hav-
ing been carried to Columbia on the
same train Mr.. Levi went on. But in
two hours time he was pardoned.
Wilson is good, quiet, sober negro,
aud term in the penitentiary would
have done him no good, Our color
ed people can thus see what it is to
live a good life towards the white
people. They will receive help when
in trouble.
