cHAMRERLINIsnEAn.

Mr.. E. NJ. Chamberlin, whose death at
Cambridge, Mass, is mentioned in another
column of this department, was one of those
men who never narrowed his mind' so as
to shut out the claims of those who needed
an advocate. 1t was leading trait of his
character to espouse causes which were
unpopular, and could bring to him nothing
of official position or social pre-eminence
He was very much of a student through
life, and his investigations extended into
all departments that would be likely, to
better the condition of the masses and dig
nifty their social and moral standing. His
career gives a fresh meaning to Addison's
conceit that the post of honor is a private
station, for he had all the requisites to
command Office had he not chosen to devote
his ability to the cause of labor reform.
Such men are missed when they depart to
another sphere.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

The bill reported from the foreign re-
lations committee of the senate, excluding
the Chinese, has passed. The presumption
is that this is the bill submitted by Senator
Dolph of Oregon. There was ano- >r bill
laid before tho committee by Senator Sher-
man. That bill excluded all Chinese except
officials, and provided a careful registration
of those found in the country. In its
general scope, this bill is just what the
masses of the people want. The bill which
has just been passed stops far short Of it,
however 1t merely continues the existing
system for ten years longer. There is
nothing in it but some heavier punishment
for those who violate these laws. The bill
passed viii not kindle the immoderate
enthusiasm of the working people forced TO
compete with the Chinee, though the
swiftness with which it passed away.
That, at least, indicates the growing
strength of the anti-Chinese sentiment Of
the whole country. The bill which has
passed merely continues system in which
the classes excluded masquerade as the
privileged, and it is often not easy to decide
between them. The restriction which Sen
ator Dolph's bill continues for ten years
more, has in the ten years last past doubled
the Chinese population of the country, if it
has not trebled it.
The bill introduced in the house by Mr.
Stump, reinforced by that of Representa-
tive Geary of California, which has the
sanction both of the committee on immigra-
ton and the committee on foreign relations
of the house, comes nearer to real solu-
ton of the Chinese question than the bill
just passed by the senate, but it is not I'M
reservedly Endorsed until the text comes to
hand. There may be some mistake in the
details, and this is not question in which
the masses of the people can afford to have
any more bungling

San Francisco ,Longshoremen strike

SAN Francisco, CAL, March 5.-This
morning everything was quiet at Folsom
street pier No. 2, ard the large crowd that
has congregated at that point for the past
few days was driven to seek shelter from
the rain. All outside work was suspended,
and as there was no occasion for squad of
officers all of them returned to their re-
spective stations.
The assault on the non-union men yester-
day afternoon by the union longshoremen
and their sympathizers is the subject of
comment to-day Although the officers in
attendance made strong resistance, they
were unable to handle the large crowd. Tim
Callahan, who was cut by Frank Garcia,
non-union man, will recover. His injuries
are not considered serious. Later he was
booked for assault with a deadly weapon.
John Owens and Thomas Donahue, union
men, will also have TO answer to charge
of battery.
A force of officers will be on hand Mon
day morning, should work be resumed, and
the non-union men will receive all the pro-
lection necessary.

E. NJ. ChamberIin, the Great Labor Re-

Mr.. E. NJ. Chamberlin, long known as an
earnest and persistent champion of the
labor movement, and as consistent advo
cate of every reform which would benefit
humanity, died at his residence, No. 80
Linnaan street, Cambridge, Mass, Tues
day afternoon. of gastric fever, after a long
illness. Mr.. Cham berlin was born in West
Cambridge in 1895. He came from a
wealthy family, his father being Daniel
Chamberlin, who was at one time owner
and manager of the Adams house. He was
the heir to valuable property in the city,
and is said to have had brilliant financial
prospects it other directions, but wealth
and all other considerations were sacrificed
by him because of his firm adherence to the
cause of the people. OF him, Charles E. Nc
Lean, the well-known labor advocate, says:
He was one OF the worlds noblemen. He
could have had the open sesame to any So
ciety, and could have had the enjoyment
and leisure assured by a large fortune. He,
however, chose to devote his energies to
the cause of humanity. No purer minded
man ever lived. His integrity was remark
able, his sincerity was unquestionable, his
ability marked. Yet he laid every gift of
nature and every acquisition upon the altar
of the people"

A Prediction by Memphis Minister That
Wealth Will Be Taken Away


Wealth VIII Be Taken Away.
At one of the suburban churches IN Mem
phis last Sunday evening there was an in
cident not down in the prearranged order of
exercises. The preacher was expounding
the text: "But seek We first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added unto you.'' Just be-
fore the close of his sermon, while speaking
of John D. Rockefeller, the Standard oil
millionaire, and the use he was making of
his enormous wealth in founding Einstitu-
lions of learning, he was interrupted by a
young man, apparently about eighteen
years of age, who rose from seat near the
front row and said: Pastor, if it is in
order, 1 should like to ask question. Can
a Chris ian man consistently accumulate
large fortune2" The house was crowded
and the interruption made a sensation.
"He can" answered the preacher without
hesitation. "The Christian man of bust
ness, who is honest in his dealings with his
fellowmen, just to his employees and makes
a righteous use of his wealth can consist
entity accumulate large fortune, and 1 be-
ieve, moreover, that the time is coming

Held for Trial,

Mr.. and Mrs. William Marsden, of West
Oak street, arranged for birthday party
for their seventeen. y ear-old son and fixed
the event for Tuesday evening. A number
of the sons friends we're invited and the
young man was presented with gold
watch. During the evening Edmund Har-
ris, of West Cherry street, sent to the house
for his son, who arrived home intoxicated.
Mr.. Harris then sued Mr., Marsden for Civ
ing minors intoxicants. The case was tried
before Squire Walker yesterday afternoon
and Marsden was required to furnish $500
bail for trial at Pottsville. The story Of
the accused was that he did not purchase
or furnish the beer consumed, and in fact
did not know it was in the house. The
young men who secured and drank the
beer occupied the upper part of the house,
while he remained down stairs in the candy
store Mr.. Harris says his boy is incor-
rigible and his object in bringing the suit
was to get a trace of where the boy was
securing drink.
