Shutting Out the Chinese.

The anti-Chinese law enacted some ten
years ago, as a result of the agitation
which made Denis Kearney famous, expires
by limitation in O very short while. To
take its place the House on Monday passed a
new Chinese exclusion act, which is more
rigid than its predecessor. The Kearney bill
excluded laborers and workmen; the new bill
excludes every Chinaman except the official
representatives of the Chinese government.
1t is a measure that once would have de-
lighted the ardent soul of Senator Blair.
Even those Cinnamon who go out cannot
return. unless it be as diplomatic agents of
the Chinese government travelling on bust
ness.
immigration agents dealing in Chinese
must quit bringing them here. Masters Of
vessels who knowingly bring into the
United States any such prohibited person,
will, under the bill, be declared guilty Of a
misdemeanor and punished by fine and i'm
prsonment.
The Chinese who are here already must
anchor themselves safely with certificates
obtained of the commissioner Of internal
revenue for the district in which they live,
within one year from the time the bill be-
comes a law or they become subject TO the
same penalties that attach to persons who
unlawfully enter in the first instance. Of
ficers in each revenue district will search
the district at the expiration Of year to
see if there are any Cinnamon there with
out the proper papers.
Where the demand for this extraordinary
measure comes from is not known. Mr..
Geary. of California, moved a suspension Of
the rules and the passage Of the bill, so it
must be that the spirit of Kearney still lives
on the Pacific coast. 1t is, beyond doubt,
desirable that proper restrictions be put
upon Chinese immi grants. but 30 radical a
measure as this hardly seems justified by
existing conditions.

The War in Wyoming.

During the last week the dispatches have
contained good deal about the war of the
cattlemen in Wyoming. The genesis of the
small farmers and stock raisers who tried
the doubtful experiment Of making fort
une on the arid lands of Wyoming, allege
that they have been injured by the owners
Of the big herds and their agents. Some Of
the small farmers were driven off and other
wise i'll used. Their grievances have been
espoused by a lot Of "hard" characters
known as 'rustlers." These rustlers
prey upon the rich cattle owners,
but have the sympathy Of the small far
mers, making it easy for them TO operate.
And because Of this fellow-feeling of anita
gonism to the rich rsnchers, juries have
failed to convict in number of cases
where crimes were fastened upon the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. murder as well as stock
stealing. Under such conditions the thieves
became bold; they ran off stock by the
carload, inundated the ranchmen and
did pretty much as they pleased. 1t
is reported that during the
last year they did big business in fur

posed as small stockmen, and finally held a

made for a grand round up of unbranded
cattle before the rightful owners appeared
on the scene for their annual branding.
This was the last straw that broke the
camel's back" The big ranchers determined
to "teach the rascals lesson" They armed

The contending factions met at Riverside,
Wyo., on last Monday night, and bloody
fight took place. 1t was reported in detail
in the MORNING NEWS of Wednesday, and
subsequent dispatches have contained the
additional particulars Of the trouble.

Chase and His Lost Gown,

Have you ever seen the supreme court Of the
United States during one of it's sittingsP asks
HdrDer's Young People. Unlike judges in most
lower courts, the supreme court justices wear
! black gowns that are much like the cassocks of
church choristers. Arrayed in these somber
black gowns, the justices. a row of seven or
eight very large and very learned men, present
an appearance Of official dignity that is most
striking
The supreme court convenes at 10 clock One
day Chief Justice Chase was unable to find his
robe. He searched every part of the robing
room, and even lighted match to go deeper
into his closet than usual in search of his miss
ing gown, because the day was dark and rainy
one.
1t wanted but minute or two of ~ when the
chief justice. almost beside himself with long
searching, appealed to Ben Wade, the famous
rough and ready senator from Ohio, who
CHANGED to enter the room, to help him find the
lost gown.
Wade had just come in from out of doors, and
So thrusting bis umbrella under one of the set
tees to see if the missing garment was there,
he fortunately fshed it out. Holding it at arm s
length on one end of his dripping umbrella, he
shouted: Here, Ohase-here's your old shirt -
The learned chief justice reached his seat in
the middle of the row just as the clock struck
the last stroke of L. but the spectator from the
front would never have guessed that the gown
which clothed so much dignity had been, ten
| seconds before, dangling at the end of @ very
l wet umbrella.

To sat.,e the Silver Question.


It thought in Washington that England
would like to have settlement Of the silver
question, but does not want to appear ca er
with respect TO the matter for the reason
that she would like TO dictate the terms of
the settlement. In the meantime Represen-
tative Springer's bill to authorize
the holding Of an international none
tary conference, which was intro
duced into the House a few days
ago, appears to be growing in favor. The
bill provides that the proposed conference
shall be held in Chicago, the first meeting to
be on Aug. 3, 1898 1t provides also that this
country shall have twenry-one delegates,
seven to be appointed by the president OF
the Senate, seven by the speaker Of the
House and seven by the President. Not
more than four Of any one of
the groups of seven are 70 be
of one political party, and
the Presidents appointees are not TO be
office-holders. The other appointees are to
be members of the Senate and House. The
Presidents appointees are to receive $1,000
a year each, and the appointees Of the Sen
ate and House are to receive no compensa
ton.
The President is authorized to invite gov
ernments with which this country main
tains diplomatic relations to send delegates
to the conference, each government being
free TO send as many delegates as it pleases,
but no one Of them to have more than one
vote in the conference, that vote TO be de-
terminad by majority of It's delegates.
No action OF the conference is to be final
but whatever plan it may formulate for an
adjustment OF the relations between gold
and silver must be submitted to the govern
ments taking part in the conference for
their approval
Until recently it was thought doubtful
whether any progress could be made toward
the solution Of the monetary problem by
an international conference, but gradually
different view is beginning to prevail II
England should join in the conference
heartily and agree to be bound by its cons
illusions there would not be much doubt
about a satisfactory result being reached.

The yachtsmen OF New Orleans are dis
cussing the organization of naval reserve
battalion under the auspices Of the South
ern Yacht Club. The battalion, though an
adjunct to the club, is to be virtually indie
pendent of it, and vice versa. The idea is
to fit outHhe boats OF the yacht club for the
exercises and drills prescribed by the rules
under which the New York and Boston
naval reserves operate. The cost will be
small to the owners, and they are satisfied
the experience as sailors obtained would be
invaluable. The naval reserve is becoming
quite popular in a number of Atlantic sea-
port cities, and it might be interesting and
fruitful for the Savannah yachtsmen to in
Quire into the subject.

wanamaker's Campaign Work.


Postmaster General Wanamaker has let
out bit of information regarding the cam.
paign Of 1888 that is interesting. Several
days ago he told correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times how he raised funds
for that campaign-in other words. how
he purchased his portfolio. He said he
raised between 500, 900 and S40O, 900, Of
which he contributed $40 900 himself, and
saw that it was put where it would do the
most good
He helped Quay "fry the fat" out of
Pennsylvania manufacturers, and his ex-
PLANTATION of how he did it is characteristic.
81 said to such as addressed,
How much would you pay
for insurance upon your businessa II you
were confronted with from one year to
three years OF general depression by a
change in our revenue and protective meth
DDS affecting our manufactures and wages
and good times, what would you pay to be
insured for better year" Whatever they
answered was understood to be the measure
of their contribution, and that amount
Mr. Wanamaker collected.
His christian association connections gave
him large experience in raising money, he
said, from which II is to be inferred that he
applied his association methods to political
assessments And when the election was
over and won," he said, the national COM
mittee would have given me almost any
thing" He was modest. however, and only
took the posuoffice department.
