Country Presented and Read.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 19.-At yes
terday's session of the colored Meth
odist conference Fort Worth, Texas,
was chosen as the place for the next
conference by vote of SIS to Al for
Charleston, S. @.
In long paper on ''The State of
the Country presented at the evening
session protest was included against
the press of the country for unjust
criticisms of crimes of the few lawless
elements as an index of the character
often found in the columns of the
leading journals to the detriment of
the race.
On the subject of emigration the re-
port says: The widespread spirit of
unrest among the colored people of
the country is particularly due to the
agitation of grand schemes, often pro-
NOTED by designing, irresponsible and
unprincipled men, We denounce
wholesale immigration as visionary
and impracticable.'

Iron and Steel workers May Strike.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 19.-Presi-
dent M. M. Garland of the Amalga-
mated association, speaking in regard
of the proba bility of a strike of iron
and steel workers, said: ''Of course, L
do not know what strikes will occur
this year, because the convention has
not not reached that order of business
in which the policy of the ensuing
year is to be outlined. but judging
from the policy of the past it will be
pretty safe to conclude that if all mill
owners refuse to sign the scale then
there will be national strike"

Representative Dunphy Wants the Mat
ter Further Investigated
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Representa-
tive Dunphy of New York had a hear
ing before the house rules committee
on his resolution to investigate naval
armor plate frauds He went into the
details of the frauds to show the COM
mittee the desirability of probing the
matter to the bottom. Mr.. Dunphy
said the frauds for which the govern
ment had already assessed the Car
negie company s14o, 600 occurred be-
tween November, 1895, and Septic N Der,
1898. The same class of evidence, he
said, showed that similar irregulari-
ties occurred prior to NOvem Der, 1892,
and subsequent to Septe mber, 1898.
Speaker Crisp and his associates on
the committee questioned Mr.. Dun
ply on the details of the alleged
frauds. He specified one instance in
which an armor plate on the Monterey
is said to contain a blOvhOle Gig hteen
inches long. The man who saw the
blowhole when the plate was cast, il
was alleged. dropped his card in the
hole. and is said to be ready to locate
the defective plate, and identity it by
his card The committee took no ac-
ton, but Mr. Dunphy believes they
will report back the resolution with q
recomm endation that will start the
investigation at once.

THE BUSINESS WORLD.


Ehg Obstacles 90 Improvement DO Nos
Lessen-The Strikes and Tarin.
NEW York, May 19.-R- @. Dun &
Co s Weekly Review of Trade says:
THE obstacles to Improvement do not
lessen The strikes of coal miners
and coke workers have not ceased,
but have caused the stoppage of
numerous works this week and en-
barrassment to some railroads. The
conference at Cleveland exhibited
much angry feeling and wider differ
ences than had been expected, and
seems to render agreement more dis
tant.
Proceedings of the senate do not
indicate that the latest form of tariff
revision has made speedy final action
probable Yet the recuperative abil-
ity of the country is so great that the
volume of business transacted is large,
and seems surprisingly so under the
circumstances. notwithstanding influ-
ences which in any other land would
cause dire disaster.
1.-The soundness of the commercial
world is shown in the diminished inn
portance of failures, the liabilities re-
ported for the second week of May
amounting to only $1,737. 53s, of which
81, 40, 932 were of trading and $432,-
6O6 of manufacturing concerns.

THE ANr1.ANARcH1sr BILL

The bill which has passed Congress for
the deportation and exclusion of anarch-
lists excepts political refugees" 1t is
probable that these two words win prove
the leak through which much of the vir-
tue of the measure will be wasted. Every
anarchist who approaches our shores will
be able to prove that he is political
refugee"
But for the deportation of unnatural
lied anarchists who are already here the
exception does not appear to apply. All
such are to be brought before proper
court, and the facts relative to their an
archism ascertained. If the judgment is
adverse to the prisoner, he is to be de-
ported to the country whence he origi-
nally came.
The bill provides system of inspec-
ton of immigrants arriving at any port.
/ < immigrant inspector is to examine
the passenger lists of any ship and erase
! the name of any person who he is salts
fed should not be permitted to land in
this country, and he is also to forbid any
! person belonging to the excluded classes
/ in the first or second cabin, or in any part
of the vessel.
1t would seem also that our Consuls
are to act at foreign ports for it is provided
that they may warn the masters of ships
not to transport persons found to be
Objectionable under the law. The bill is
not. we fear so strong measure as is
needed, for nquestionably the time has
come in thejudgment of the vast majority
of Americans for excluding all would-be
immigrants, with very few exceptions
in favor of students and of course travel
ers and Government attaches.
But the bill even as it stands is gener-
ally approved as a good beginning. As
the Los Angeles Times says:
\ vast majority of good citizens throughout
the country, irrespective of politics, are
| strongly in favor OF some such measure as
this and believe that it is absolutely neces-
sary if our republican institutions are TO en-
dure. 1t is true that the PopuliSts have
shown great affection for people of anarch-
! istic tendencies and the party contains good
many such people among their ranks. But
! the Populist party is very insignificant frac-
ton of the people of the United States and
! just at this time the people are by no means
/ inclined to take lessons from them in the art
| of government. The general opinion now is
| that we need a government which will not be
afraid to assert itself at the proper time, re-
| gardless Of politics. Among other things it
should put down conspiracy at home and
prevent foreign conspirators from coming
IN to breed discomfort and disorder among
our people.

creameries. diversified farming and
much stock. There money is not scarce
and the people are prosperous. But in
Polk County, with $1,000 people and two
creameries, few cattle and the land
mainly given up to wheat culture. money
is scarce and the times are hard. He
asked:
What makes the difference? They both
exist under the same currency and the same
nag, The difference is this: In the county
Of Freeborn the farmers have large and
valuable variety OF farm products, bringing q
Iair price, 70 exchange for money. This
makes money plenty and times easy. On the
other hand, IN the county of Polk, the
farmers have little to exchange for money eX-
cept wheat, and that was very light crop,
and the prices, owing to a glut in the foreign
market, were very low. This makes money
scarce and times very hard
The straightforward, vigorous speak
ing of this self-made man, who has
fought his way from peasant poverty to
the Gubernational chair, and whose
honesty OF purpose and manliness all
concede. is worth all the theorizing of the
entire Populist party, and all its calamity
howlers can array of dismal speculation
and illogical reasoning.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
90, 80, 12o 100 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They Will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of nterest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nuaI installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid tor three years, ana then
the purchaser is to have five years in which 10
pay five equal annual installments. with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove 10
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers a result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.
