Mhars Are We At9

EnlroRs HERALD Our brethren oi
east in their zeal for the Chinese forget
us native Americans entirely. We are
the ones deserving OF sympathy, not the
mongolians. The exclusion acts of 1882
and following were passed to keep the
Chinese away from here because they
were confessedly an undesirable class Of
population. But if the Chinese to be
kept away were undesirable, those now
here must be equally so in fact others
were sought to be kept out for the sole
reason that those now here of the same
class were found to be Objectionable.
III it was proper to keep others away
1t is equally proper to get rid of such as
here, ii it can be done lawfully. That
opportunity is now offered. 4s
1t IL no great hardship for the Chinese
to be sent back to their homes, for every
soul OF them intends to return there as
soon as he gathers enough OF the money
be covets. but it is a real punishment to
the people of this coast to have these
human leeches fastened upon them,
when they can. as now, be properly re.
moved, and for deliberate violation OF
our laws. sa 4A

creases not our affection, either for them
or the objects of their sympathy.
A large percentage of the Chinese at
present here have come into the coun-
try in violation of treaty. and of the ex-
clusion acts.
This smuggling business has been car.
ried on largely through the. agency of
the Six companies, who are making and
will make vast sums of money out of the
business--in all probability not less
than many millions.
The Geary law was intended to put
stop to this illegitimate ingress, by re-
quiring q certificate of the presence Of
each OF each one lawfully here. Those
coming later and surreptitiouslv could
obtain no certificates, and would be sub
ject to deportation. This law, it will be
seen, interferes very seriously with the
revenues of the Six companies, hence
their opposition to it.
1t is learned from intelligent Chinese
that sc, 900 of their number have been
assessed and have paid SIS apiece to
fight the Geary law in Washington.
This while the matter WAS pending in
the courts. sg asineqs ant 'aa
1t is presumable that our good friends
on the Atlantic side know less about this
peculiar people than we are compelled
to learn. If they knew more their sym
pathy for them would be less and their
regard for our welfare greater.

ETY.. Good, well-ripened, yellow Florida
lemons are bringing from So to $3.50 per
box. A large dealer stated in reply to
the suggestion made in this column last
week that home grown lemons should
be given more preference than they are,
said that ''the Florida growers take no
pains whatever with their lemons when
sending them to market. They usually
come green and make a very poor ap-
pearance. There is no reason why they
cannot be left on the trees to ripen prop
erly."
California lemons are now produced az
fine in quality as the imported. The
best are usually repacked in the east
and sold as imported. while the off
grades are sold as Californians. All of
which is wrong and denied by the deal
ers, but it is true. nevertheless.

The fruit must be picked by hand

degrees of ripeness should be picked
hence 1t is necessary to go over the trees
two or three times in harvesting the
crop.
The great bitterness is removed from
the olives by soaking the berries in an
alkaline preparation as follows: One
pound OF Greenbank concentrated lye oi
3S per cent strength is dissolved in 10
gallons of water, and for large amounts
OF liquid use same proportions. Place
the olives in this solution and allow
them to remain four hours and no long

clear water, which change once or twice
day Tor two weeks or more until 1T

which fact will indicate that all the
bitterness of the fruit has been ex.

Cut some of the fruit after removing

the pit and converted the berry into q
"free-stone." If not, after washing a.
few days in the clear water as above,
pour on the I've again and let the. truit
remain another four hours. The I've
should be kept in motion by placing the
casks or watts in such way that it may
be drawn off by means of faucet into
bucket and poured back upon the fruit
during the four hours exposure to the
lye.
After the bitterness is removed as
above, place the fruit in brine made OF
four ounces of clean salt to one gallon of
water and let it stand week. Then
double the strength OF the brine by ad-
ding four ounces more salt to each gall

two weeks. Then make new and final
solution of IA ounces of salt to one gal

SAN Francisco. Nov. 16.-There will
be hard fight for the release of the ST.

The Society of Americans for Russian
freedom has engaged able counsel to go
to San Francisco to aid in the defense Of
the prisoners. ]. A. Hourwich, profess
sor of political economy in the uniyer-
sity of Chicago, and gifted lawyer, is
one OF these. The other is Attorney
Darrow of this city. Hourwich is q
Russian, familiar with the methods of
his government, and has an authentic
list OF 800 political exiies to Siberia. II
the prisoners at San Francisco are on
this list it will be in counsel's judgment
a sufficient demand for their release; If
not, it is hoped the prisoners will be
identified by prominent Russians in
this country. Lloyd Garrison of Bos-
ton; Editor Volhonsky of London Free
Russia; Editor Chook of Russian Pro-
gress and various Russian societies in
America and England are cooperating
with the defense.

AN Accounting wanted,

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-Suit was brought
here today by Edward &. and Edgar
Wolf for a receiver for the st. Louis
Transfer railway, operating a steam
transfer railway system along the river
front, and for general accounting on
the part of the Virgins Ferry COM
pany. The operating of the trans-
fer railway, as alleged by the plain
tiffs, is illegal. The allegations
are that the Virgins Ferry company
owning certain number of shares Of
the transfer railway, is operating it for
the benefit of the ferry company and to
the injury of the railway stockholders
who are not stockholders OF the ferry
company also. 1t is finally averred that
the railway is apparently $4S0,0O0 in
debt to the ferry company, when really
there ia 5000, 900 indebtedness the other
way. An accounting and receiver is
asked for and also an injunction to pre-
vent the company from voting it's rail-

Indian Names.

Sometimes names have been made to
appear unnecessarily grotesque in their
writing-in some instances as much SO
as the rude savage himself appears per-
sonally-the fact illustrated in the writ
ing Youghiogheny for simply Ya-og-ha-
ma and in Esquemeaux for Es-ka-mo.
Many purely poetic garbs of the old
words have become incorporated into
our permanent geographical literature.
The names Mississippi and Tennessee
are examples of the fanciful versions of
the old aboriginal titles-the former is
supposed to have been in sounds repre-
sented by the English writing Mes-sis-a-
pa, while the oldest historic records ex-
tant showing the latter give the writing
as Ten-as-sa. What is evidently one an
cestral word appears in the modern YER
sions of Shewanee, Sewanee, Suwanee,
Swanan and Chowan. The French writ
ing Cheyenne is the same word in the
remote ancestry, as is now believed

seminary, Dominican female institu-
ton. two miles from this city, burned
tonight. About 90 girls are usually in
attendance. 1t was donated to the sis
ters by Ex-Governor G. @. Washburn.
Both buildings were burned to the
ground and two little girl pupils suffo-
Gated in bed. They were Maggie Stock,
aged 6. of Chicago, and Mafgie Rice,
aged Z. of Stevens Point, Wis. One oi
the sisters was very badly affected By
inhaling smoke and her recovery is
doubtful.
The fire originated on the second floor
and burned very rapidly. The bodies
OF the dead girls have just been brought
to this city with the injured sister and
Francis Henneberry, who also inhaled
smoke. There are thought to be nc
other fatalities.
The financial loss is about $4,000,
partially insured. Frances Henne-
berry was unconscious and nearly dead
from smoke when she was removed, but
it is thought she will recover.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
1t started shortly before O'Clock on the
second 1oor of the main building. When
the sisters discovered it the halls were
filled with dense smoke ard panic
among the so inmates was threatened
but fortunately all were removed quietly
and safely, with the exception of those
named above.
Edgewood ia two miles from the city
and has neither telephone nor tele-
graphic communication. 1t was some
time after the fire started before mes-
sage was dispatched to Madison for aid.
1t was at least an hour before assistance
arrived, and the fire was then too far
advanced for effective work to be done.
Before IL O'Clock the new addition was
in flames, and at midnight the whole
institution was burning.
The little Henneberry girl is not ex-
pected to survive the night. Kate
Sweeney, the little Michigan girl, was
nearly suffocated and rescued with diff
Guilty. Sister Bertha was brought out OF
the building with the body of one OF the
dead in her arms. She had fallen un-

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16-The row in
the ranks OF the Knights OF Labor con-
tinued with great bitterness today and
tonight there is no evidence of an am
icable settlement. Bitter addresses were
made by A. w. Wright and John Delvin
OF the general board. discaiming Hayes
charges. Wright accused Hayes of hav-
ing false system OF bookkeeping, and
said ii any unlawful expenditure was
made it was owing to that fact. He in
timated that Hayes had been carried
away by his enmity to Powderly TO the
extent of deliberately fslsiiying the ac-
counts so as to mielead the delegates.
Tomorrow the executive board, it is
said, will formally demand Hayes resig-
nation. Hayes, it is said. will have
documentary evidence to back up his
charges before the general assembly.
A strong effort is being made to save
the organization, in order to make it the
pivot in the proposed consolidation with
other labor organizations. That Pow
derly aims to be the head of the amalgs-
mated order there is no doubt.
Among the important questions re-
ferred to committees today, was the
amalgamation of all labor bodies into
one powerful organization, and recon-
mending political action OF organized
labor.
TIE report of the general executive
board OF the Knights of Labor was given
out this morning. 1t opens with re-
view of the years work and q justitica-
tion of the boards course, ae followH:
"The past year has been one of trial
to organized labor. When your board
had been appealed to and asked for their
advice in cases of despair, or when re-
ductions of wages had been proposed by
employers, they have felt it their duty
to counsel cautious and conserve
tive action, even in instances
where, III justice, demand for
increased wages or Resistance of
a proposed reduction would have been
proper and right. The steady stream
of immigration which, in split OF re-
strictive Legislation. continues to flow to
the shores OF this continent. makes it
comparatively easy for employers to fill
the places of striking workmen. IL
addition, labor has had this year to
reckon with the fact of financial
panic and industrial depression. The
cause of the panic is a question that
would be improbable to here discuss.
Whether it was occasioned by the oper-
alton of the so-called Sherman act, as
some assert; to the uncertainty regard
ing tariff legislation, as others MAINTAIN,
or whether il was part of deliberately
planned conspiracy having for its object
the doubling of the stature of the
worlds funded debts, through the con-
traction of the worlds money, which
would be the inevitable consequence OF
he decentralization OF silver, as an in
,reasing number believe, need not here
