THE NEW calx-ss slll-

Fhe Photograph Provision IL, the Decla-
ration concerpta;. a~I~rehants.
The senate of the United States on the
day before its Adjournment passed the
act for the amendment of the Geary ex-
clusion law precisely as it came from
the house. In view of this decision and
of the overwhelming majority which the
measure had received in the house, it
must stand as the matured expression of
the Judgment of the representatives Of
the American people as q whole.
1t is rather noteworthy that while the
period of extension granted to the Chi
nese for registration is six months after
the enactment of this new law, the time
will expire during the first week of next
May, or almost exactly one year after
the period fixed in the original Geary
act. That year will have taught much
to our Monaghan fellow residents, and
they may be expected to avail themselves
almost to a man of the privilege now &C
corded by congress.
The new law requires of the applicant
q photograph. and this provision has
sometimes been, stigmatized as import
ing rogues' gallery methods into its ex-
ecution. This criticism is not sound.
Many railroads. a was pointed ont in
the house debate, in giving their most
favored customers the privilege of what
are known as 1000 mile tickets for a low
or price than ordinary mileage rates. re-
quire that upon such a ticket shall be
placed not only the purchasers name,
but his photograph, in order that mo-
body else may use it. Most OF those
persons who had season tickets Of free
admission to the Chicago fair were in
like manner obliged to attach their pho
tographs to the tickets. In these and
similar cases the purpose is not humilia-
ton, but Identification, so that privileges
granted may not be misused by persons
who come wrongly into possession OF
them. That is exactly the case with the
Chinese, and there is nothing else in the
requirement of a photograph for the GER
tifcate of protection.
Another important new feature of the
amendment act is hat which defines the
word merchant" as used in the Geary
law. No one can question that it is bet
Ter to have a precise description of what
is intended by this term than that il
should be left to conjectural i~nterpreta-
ton outside of the lawmsh king power.
A merchant is now declared to be, for
the purpose of this act, "a person en-.
gagged in buying and selling merchandise
at a fixed place of business, which bust.
ness is conducted in his name, and who,
during the time he claims to be engaged
as a merchant, does not engage u the
performance of any manual labor, ex-
cept such as is necessary in the conduct
of his business as such merchant" This
does not appear to be an unjust definition,
or unduly strained for the purpose OF
excluding persons from the status OF
merchants who are fairly entitled to it.
But however that may be, the words
thus used in the amended act are direct
ly drawn from similar definitions, either
in preceding Chinese exclusion acts or
in existing treasury decisions interpret
ing those acts and establishing rules for
their execution.-New York Sun.

just as l supposed, Nix. Jack Asror
has come ont with q fiat footed denial
that he has given a cent to his sister,
Mrs. Coleman Drayton. As for the
house, everybody knew that was q part
of the marriage settlement made by the
late Mr.. William Aston upon his daugh-
ter.
From the very emphatic denial of Jack
Astor that he has anything to dc with
setting his sister up in her old establish
ment at 374 Fifth enu it does not
look as il he intended to do much in the
way of helping her along.
The Willie Wallie Astofs, living az they
do at Cliveden and L~arsdowne House
in England, scorn the whole business
and are probably only too delightedto
see 1.-THE" Mrs. Aston, their esteemed
aunt. fixed in the very tight box she oc-
cupies at present.-Cholly Knickerbock'

That Was the Way the Cornerstone Of h
Staten Island Church Was Laid.
The laying of a cornerstone at night is
the novel sight that was witnessed at
Stapleton. N. Y, the other evening, when
the construction of the new First Pres
byterian church was formally inaugu-
rated amid the glare of torches and cleo
trio lights.
The First Presbyterian church of Sta
pleton is one of the wealthiest and most
fashionable congregations on Staten Is
land, but it has hitherto w~orshiped in O
small and u~npretentious ediice. Recent
ly it decided to erect q new and hand
some church, to cost a large SUM Of
money, and the members hit upon the
novel plan of laying the cornerstone at
night to make the occasion memorable.
Electric lights strung were from DIFF
ferent points and in such . manner as to
throw the full glare directly ON the spot
where the cornerstone was placed AS
the illumination, however. was hardly
strong enough to read by, = number of
people stood about the officiating clergy
men holding pine torches. thus enabling
the services to be carried out without
hitch.
Owing to ths novelty of the idea of
laying a cornerstone at night, there was
a large attendance at the ceremony.

OF the island being present.-New York

Judge Baker, of the Federal court, at
indianapolis, has rendered q decision in
a bank case which will be of interest to
depositors who may have made
a deposit in a bank just pre-
vious to it's failure. The case
was that of III. P. WATSON against Recei-
YER Hawkins, 1t 10 alleged THAT not five
minutes before the bank finally closed,
and in the presence OF PRECEDENT Haughey,
WATSON deposited s1,647. so in money and
s504,l4 in checks. and that the total a.
moun of 90. LAG. GA was credited as cash.
1t is averred that Haughey knew the
bank to be i~nsolvent, although the fact
was not known to the cashier who re-
ceived the money. He asks the court to
return to him the full amount.
Judge Baker, in his decision, said that
the receipt of the money was a fraud,
that ths defendant was justified in rely
ing on it's solvency by the representa-
tons held out, and that wherelt was
known that the moneys and checks of a
creditor were still in the possession Of
the receiver he would be entitled TO re-
cover his deposit in full. There are a
great many like cases pending in the
Federal Court, and the Judge stated
that he would Yake this decision the
basis for deciding all similar pleas.

The annual bank tax fight has come

The Fasmefr's Alliance State elevator
scheme, Carried through the last Min
nssota legislature by Ignatius Donnelly,
and contested by the elevator men OF
Minnesota, has been finally knocked out
by the supreme court. 1t will be re-
membered that Henry Ripe, formerly
OF this place, now OF Paramount, Mimi,
and others, contested the right of the
state TO build this elevator as interfering
with private interests. The case went. to
the district court OF st. Paul and Judge
Willis decided the project constitutional.
A site has since been purchased at Du-
luth and work commenced on the state
elevator. The case has now come before
the supreme court of the state and

clares the law unconstitutional as follows
