.GEARY'S LAW GOOD
SUPREME COURT DECLARES
THE CHINESE MUST GO.

Uncle Sam Held to Have Power TO
Prohibit or Restrict Immigration.
Justices Brewer, Field and Chief
Justice Fuller Dissent.
WASHINGTON, May l6.-The supreme
court of the United States has affirmed
the constitutionality of the Geary Chin
ese exclusion and registration act. The
opinion was announced by Justice
Gray, Justice Brewer dissenting. JUS
tice Gray said in announcing the judg-
ment of tho court that the power of
this nation to restrict or prohibit the
immigration of any aliens into the
country or to require such aliens al
ready in the country to remove here
from was
a Well Settled Principle
of international law and was confirmed
by an unbrohen line of decisions in this
court. The legislative power of the
government had not transcended any
of its constitutional limitations in the
act under consideration. It was within
its power to determine the regulations
under which these aliens should be per-
mitted to remain in the United States,
or, failing to observe these regulations,
they should be required to leave the
country.
Justice Field and Chief Justice Fuller
also dissented.

deporting of Chinese under the Geary

Olney said until the line of action to be
pursued by our government was

wn., He Mus, Pay to Kick.

If the payment of an assessment
on $50 is sufficient for the leader of
party, how much mnst man pay
to be entitled to kick on the manner
of county expenditures SPARKS.
How much must he pay to be en-
titled to kicks Mighty little, Joe;
mighty little! For e1ample-The
county records show that you have
never paid dollars taa since the in
corporation of the county-not even
county or military poll. The same
records show that W. A Swift has
paid In taxes since his years resi-
dence in the county 81; that NJ. S.
Goodale has never paid dollar, his
poll tax for 1892 being still unpaid;
that G. E. Billingslea's tax for 1892
is $2.51 and that it is still unpaid;
that G. V. Bedell has paid to the Golfers
of the county since its organization
~, and the county paid him for pro-
fessional services for one year alone
$500: that W. r. Waldo paid for
1892 taxes to the amount of 50. SO on
a valuation of S55. The records do
not show that L. F. Blodgett has
paid dollar of taxes since the for
nation of the county. To sum up
the records show the total taxes as
sessed against the allowed named
gentlemen, except the last, to be
$l237. OF that amount IS is county
and military polls, and the balance
S4-3I is on property-all personal.
The total amount of taxes paid to
date by all the gentlemen above named
for 1892 is 1886, 81 of which was
poll taxes. As these gents are the
principal kickers, we are enabled to
answer the question to the fraction
OF cent. The proposition is simple.
If $3.50 the total amount of taxes
paid in 1892, entities seven men .to
kick on the manner of county expen-
ditures" one man is entitled to kick
for one seventh of 1886 or 55 and
IL cents; therefore a man must paw
to be entitled to kick on the manner |
OF county expenditures SO and LII
cents. That's very easy one, give
us something hard.

the substance of which is that had it

answer it requires thorough search

''The free and unlimited coinage

article of our political faith and de-
