an Indian boy hcrding cattle, and began
10 shoot 81 the boy, killing him. He
then mounted the boys horse and

A New rd.. Among Railroad Me.

A circular calling upon railroad en-
pioyes to form an organization for the pro-
lection of the interests Of railroads against
unjust legislation has been issued by two
employees of the Louisville Il Nashville.
They point out that enforced reductions
of rates have brought about reduced oper-
ating expenses, which means reduced
wages and fewer men employed. and they
urge the 1000, 900 railroad men in the
United States to combine in dispelling the
prejudice in the public mind which causes
this state of things.

Every nationality has a right to self

that tho mingling u races has never re-

and scarcely ever even 20 the inferior.
The Caucasians settled this country and

But when the Pacific states we're set

Congress might, with great profit 20
the people. give careful attention 90 tho
subject Of revising our patent laws So
many immense fortunes have been made
10y men owning patents on articles OF
prime necessity in every household that
the subject Is urgent OF course the
owner Of a patent is entitled TO a rea-
sonable price or profit on his invention,
but IL does not seem fair that he should
be given a monopoly Of an article essen
tial to the comiort Of every family or
essential to the ready transaction Of
business. And especially docs it seem
wrong il this monopoly enables the
owner Of paten, to pile up vast for
tune in few years by virtue OF his
ability 10 exact from the purchasers Of
his product profit Of five OF SIX times
the cost Of the article in question.
The most conspicuous instance Of this
sort is that Of the sewing machine pat
ents, under which some half dozen man
uiacturers % few years made mi lions
Of dollars by charging 500 or more for
a machine which they could make for
from sl5 TO so. The Pullman palace
car patents are also striking examples
OF the way to extort fortune from the
people under the protection Of patent.
The Bell telephone and other electric
devices are Of the same sort. Type
writer's are in practically the same class
with sewing machines; the standard
machines now selling for 500 costing
about S15 or $40 Iunumerable other
articles that are among the necessarles
Of the home or business office are like
wise protected by patents running sew
enteen years, and which will return TO
the owners Of the patent independent
fortunes in less than half that time.
The inventive genius OF the American
should be stimulated to its greatest ef-
fort, and adequately rewarded, but il is
unfortunately true that the men who
make millions out OF patents at the ex-
pense Of the people have not been those
who we're the authors Of great inveu-
tions, but shrewd business men who
have for a pittance got possession OF the
devices OF poor fellows who have ex-
pended lives Of study and toll upon
them.

CHINEsE WOMEN.

Judge BellinFer Of the United States dis
tTict court, has decided that, as ma rage
by proxy is legal in Chins, is must be rec
ognized as legal here. lie therefore al
lowed O Chinese Womsn married in China
By proxy 10 = Chinaman in this country. 20
land a. his legal wife.
BY the above decision Of Judge Bel
linger our Chinese population may b.
doubled and perhaps thribbled even un-
der existing laws, and the increased
population will be Far inferior to what
we now have, OF 20 what would come
were our ports open 70 an Cinnamon. ii
all mems wives can come every China
man in America can marry by proxy as
many wives as the law allows no China
and bring them here. 10 this there are
very serious objections. There are
some reasons why Cinnamon now here
should be permitted to import the wives
they had before they themselves came.
but it ia a very different matter for them
10 marry by proxy and bring here all
the wives they choose, or who may
choose them FOR the sake Of coming.
Judging from the Chinese women al
ready here we are forced 10 the conclu-
clusion they are much moro objectIona-
bic than the men our laws exclude. The
men are far more industrious than the
women, as il obvious 70 every one who
observes the habits ~ the two sexes.
The men are far more frugal 10 thor
dress and habits than the women who
come TO America.
The Chinese women among us are
more addicted T. immoral and disrepu-
table practices than tie men. The in
dustrioua habits Of the mos, % our Chi
namen are a groat safeguard against
vice. II an idle Chinamau's brain is the
devils workshop, tho idle Ch.uawoman's
brain is not less accessible % the devil

But Judge Bellrger may say it is the
policy Of the government 70 foster the
increase Of populations. This is true
in regard 10 such populations ar our
laws permit % come among us and be-
come a part o. us; but not o. such az

wisely.
