Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1893-04-15

The state senate has passed the
bill permitting fair societies TO grant
the sale Of liquor on their grounds
and receive state aid at the same
time, thus indirectly declaring that
what fairs need is not exhibits and
good management so much as liquor
stands. This was contrary to the
recommendation Of the committee
on agriculture. In referring to the
action Of the senate the State
Journal voices the sentiments Of the
general public by saying: 'There
is no demand for the bill. No coun-
ty fair association has petitioned for
it. The agricultural committee
knows best what is wanted by the
promoters Of the legitimate county
fairs Of the state. But the present
Legislature is giving a good illustra-
tion Of the general tendency Of the
Democrats, whenever in power, Of
tearing down all Legislation for the
bettering of human conditions and
permitting the free rein Of all that
good citizens hope to see in some
measure curbed."

viding for the deportation OF unregistered

would be enforced by the Administration. Yes
terduy and to-day lie had interviews with
President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle on
the subject, and he said that assurances had
been given him that the law would bo carried
out. When asked whether he had any reason
to look for retaiatory measures by the Chinese
Government upon tho Americans residing In
that country, he said;
II am perfectly willing to vote for bill re-
quiring every American missionary in China
to return to his country within year. the pro-
tection OF this Government to be withdrawn

Department had about perfected arrangements

direction OF executing the law was suspended.
The subject was discussed in tho Cabinet. aud
it was after the Cabinet meeting that Treasury
officials stopped work on the preparations.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin. who has charge
OF matters pertaining to the Chinese laws. po-
litey declined to discuss the subject this after
noon. saying 1t was now in the hands Of Attor-
ney- General Olney. Mr.. Olney said he was
not at liberty to talk.
1t is significant that Mr.. Everett OF Massa-
chusetts to- day introduced in the House bill
to modify the Geary law by extending the
time for registration from May 5. 1888 to Sept
l. 1894 and in various other ways alleviatinG
the severity OF the provisions Of that measure.
The bill has been referred by the Speaker to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs. which. it is
understood. will take immediate action upon
it. 1t is said that this bill was drawn up and
introduced with direct sanction OF the Secre-
tary OF State the Secretary OF the Treasury.

fact, an Administration measure. designed. as
it Is said. to serve as present assurance to tho
