San Francisco, Oct. 9.-Forty Chi
nese employed at the Palace hotel quit
work today, and their places were filed
by white men. The grievance of the
Chinese was peculiar. They had been
engaged by the hotel management
through a Chinese foreman, who paid
them their wages. Some of the Chi
nese claimed that this foreman was re.
tanning part of the wages of each
Chinese as commission. The manage.
ment discharged the Chinese agent,
whereupon all the others struck.

SNAPPED AWAY HIS WIFE.
A Little Family Complication Amicably
ArranEed.

a AAtLAo GAuAy COmpuC2ClOn AmlCaOly
Arranged.
The very unusual story of swapping
daughter for wife is reported from
Toledo, Wash, says the New York
World. A farmer named Thompson
lost his wife short time ago. She left
Jim little baby girl. The child he
took to a neighbor by the name of Put.
nam to be cared for. OF course fire.
'quent visits were made to see how the
baby was getting along.
Mrs. Putnam was quite comely per-
son and very soon attracted the atten.
ton of the widowed farmer. Then he
soon learned to love her and, worst Of
ell, his love was reciprocated. The hug
band discovered the situation The low
;ers naturally expected a scene but there
was none.
Instead of making the neighboring
hills resound with jealous rage Putnam
called upon Thompson and they dis
..cussed the matter in. a business-like,
manner. Putnam professed to be tired
Of his wife and said he would as lief that
some other fellow would take her away
ns not; but he wanted something in re-
turn. He wanted some one around the
house to minister to his wants; som
one he could learn to love. Thompson
had daughter who suited him very
well and, if it was just the same, he was
willing to trade his wife for her. That
suited Thompson and the girl, too. So
bargain was struck and the exchange
made. Thompson and Mrs Putnam went
to Aberdeen and the girl to Castle Rock.

TO STOP SHIPMENT OF GAME.
Proposed Amendment to tho Interstate
Commerce Law.

Interstate
Commerce Law.
The National Game, Bird and Fish
Protective association has prepared an
amendment to the interstate commerce
law, which, it is expected, will put a
stop to the shipment of game out of the
several western states. The bill was
drafted by S. f. Baird, the attorney of
the association, and Senator Cullom and
Congressman White have promised to
introduce it in the two houses.
The necessity of law of this kind
las been felt, as state laws have proved
imperative because of the impunity
with which transportation companies
have evaded it.
The bill makes 1t unlawful for any
railroad company, express company, Or
other common carrier to receive for
shipment, or for any person or corpors-
ton to ship or offer to any common
carrier for shipment, from any place
within any of the states or territories
of the United States any moose, elk,
deer, buffalo, or bison, caribou, antea
lope, mountain sheep, or mountain
goats, or any parts of such game, or
any wild turkey, prairie. chicken, or
pinnated grouse, sage hen, Mongolian
or ringneck pheasant, grouse, pheasant,
or partridge, quail, wild goose, duck,
brant, swan, woodcock, snipe, rall,
plover, or other water fowl.
The bill, however, does not prohibit
the shipment of wild game permitted
by the laws of the state from which the
shipment is made.

A recent census bulletin dealing with
the occupations of the people of the
United States shows that 4s per cent.
of the persons, male and female, more
than ten years of age, are engaged i'll
some gainful occupation. The total
number of working people is 22,735,-
661, of which 1s,s20,o50 are men and
3,014,711 women-a gain of 1,267,554
women since 1880, rate of increase
nearly 31s times as great as the in
crease of working men. A study of the
tables in the bulletin reveals some in
teresting comparisons. In 1850 there
was only one woman architect in the
country; in 1890 there We're 20. Then
there were but five lawyers; ten years
later there were 2Os. There were 67
women clergymen in 1880; in 1890, 1925.

To the Highest Bidder.

For nearly generation it has been
the custom of republican presidential
candidates, or their campaign mana
gers, to send their paid agents to ev.
cry southern state before the meeting
of their national convention to pur-
chase all the delegates who were for
sale.
This year, as we stated in recent
editorial, the republicans are carry
ing on their campaign of corruption
more openl. tnd shamlessly than ever
before. Several republicans of high
official position are directly or indi-
rectly responsible for this attempt to
corrupt our colored citizens, who
practically compose the republican
party in the south.
1t is we'll known that the voters of
the southern republicans will not car.
ry single state, but their delegates
to the national convention may turn
the scale and secure the nomination
of the candidate who has spent the
most money in securing their support
What makes the matter worse is
the boosted purity of the grand old
party" The republicans claim to be
the party of progress and great moral
ideas-a party with mission-and
one of it's favorite hobbies has been
the pretence that in the south the
blacks are denied an honest ballot
and fair count.-Atlanta Constitu-

Tho Bond Lunacy.

The country is now twenty-four
days away from the great bond issue
Of $l00,00O,000. 1t was understood,
and so stated by those who make it
their business to deceive the people
in the interests of the money power
that this vast increase of the public
debt-that saddling of an additional
burden of taxation on the people
would put an end to the strained
condition of affairs, be an ample
protection to the treasury and SO
give better tone to trade and bust
ness, says the Atlanta Constitution.
But what is the actual situation!
The most careless observer can per
ceive that prices have fallen still
lower since the bond issue than the.
were before. Even the speculative
stocks that pay no dividends aud are
practically worthless-the stocks
that Wall street uses as a blind
behind which it sits and calls up the
lambs that are to be fleeced-are
lower. The situation must be pretty
bad in that quarter when the Wall
street operators cannot breathe the
breath of speculation into the prices
of these stuffed and padded stocks.
The Chinese soldiers. when they &c
TO war, wear the most hideous masks
in the hopes of frightening thei,
enemies. When u gun goes off the.
throw down their masks and run
away. Similarly, when Wall street
wants to convince the public thai
business activity is about to begin.
the operators get in the exchange
and pretend to fight over these worth
less stocks. Thus far they have been
able to fix prices to suit themselves,
the prices being as much of a sham
us the goods themselves. But now it
seems that even this pastime has
failed them. Even the worthless
stocks refuse to respond to the efforts
of the operators to label them with
sham prices.
more tnan TINS, the pond lSsuSe,
instead of putting an end to the raid
on the gold reserve, have accelerated
it. Millions have been drawn out to
pay for the bonds, and those who
had gold and paid it into the treasury
for bonds are now making haste to
draw it out again. Since the an
nouncement of the bond issue in
January nearly $4,000, 900 of gold has
been withdrawn from the treasury,
and very little of it has gone abroad
Foreign exchange is not at the ship
ping point and has not been for some
time, but the raid on the reserve
continues, and an average of nearly
81, 100000 day weneo last week.

Tho State Encampmcnt of the Grand Army
An, Cou lon,

in Session.
Minneapolis, March 1.-THE old SOL
diers of Minnesota were on hand early
this morning to usher in the state en-
campment ut Harmonic Hall. A big
crowd of veterans swarmed about head
quarters i'll the Lumber Exchange all
day yesterday, and the fine attendance
at convention hall this morning was
not unexpected. The attendance WIS
well up with that of previous years.
The time before the opening exercises
was taken up with election matters,
and small caucuses We're being held in
the hall antc-rooms for the purpose of
booming the respective candidates.
Fully 100 mem Lers of the Grand Army
of the Republic, delegates to the de-
pnrtment encampment to he held at
Harmonic hail, were guests at the sew
eral hotels and in the homes of friends
in MINNEAPOLIS last night. A number
of them were gathered about the hotel
lobhics last evening discussing matters
military and battles fought over 80
years ago.
The condition Of the order was never
better in the history of it's organization
in this state. There are at present
nearly 5000 veterans in good standing
as members of the Grand Army of the
Republic in Minnesota. The exact en-
rollment January 1, 1896, was 7,S7T,
embraced in 1876 posts. The increase
has been steady for q number of years,
Notwithstanding the large decrease in
the number of veterans in the state
caused by death. The order has never
been so popular, not only among the
veterans and their families, but with
the general public.

Their Plumber Secure.

In view of the recent decision of the
supreme court of the United States in
the Stanford case. and the reply of
Attorney General Harmon to the
house committee on Pacific roads, in
regard to the liability of former man
ayers and directors of these roads to
the United States, it is fair to pre-.
sumo that the men who looted botll
these companies will go scot free with
their plumber.
Justice Harlan held that there was
no personal liability for the debts Of
either company under the Pacific
railroad acts. The attorney general
informs the house committee that the
men who plundered these companies
are responsible to the companies them
selves, but not the government,
which is only q creditor. AS the men,
or their heirs or beneticiaries, who,
by fiction of contract, transferred
the bonded assets of the companies to
their own capacious pockets, still con.
troll these corporations, the chances
of any suits for recovery are too slim
to discuss.
1t is the companies themselves that
have been plundered, and not the
government directly. Hence, the
government cannot proceed against
the plunderers. 1t is in the position
of creditor, and it is about to suffer
heavy losses because it cannot main
tain suits against the men who be
trayed their trusts to the companies
as result of which it is swindled
This will be new to the public, but il
probably is not new to the men who
have looted the treasures of these
subsidized roads. They have ALWAYS
retained the ablest la wyers that mon
ey could hire, and are thus in q posi-
ton to defy government prosecution
on the one side, and to prevent pros
ecution from the respective railroad
companies OH the other side because
the pluderers are the company. Ed.

Naturally they are now anxious for
some kind of a settlement with con.
gress by which their acts will be con.
doned, and the results of their thefts
will be rendered secure. What is best
for the government to do is perplex-
ing question. Were it not for the
hrst mortgage bonds, which approx
mate the present value of both reads.
the answer would be an easy one, and
that would be to confiscate both lines.
There is absolutely no basis for anv
