The United States Senate Committee
on immigration has introduced a meas
ure TO make. the ability ito read and
write one of the qualifications required
by all aliens over fourteen years of age
who wish to enter the country. The bill
provides that the immigrant must be
able to read aud write any portion OF
the constitution, in whatever language
he may be the most familiar. Failure
to. comply with thfs regulation means a
return to the land from whence he came
at the expense of the steamship COM
pany. With the possible exception of
the contract labor, Hawaii could make
good use of such a law.

In competition with Japan we have
nothing whatever to fear"
very significant addendum to these
remarks, so full of assurance, is the
suggestion that 1T becomes US to be on
our guard" The vital question now be-
fore the United States, and not of the
least Importance to this country, is
just what form this guardianship shall
assume 1t cannot come in the form of
class legislation, as Japan at the pres
ent time has been allowed the rights
of the most favored nation. After full
investigation has been made, however,
it will be interesting to note whether
the people of the United States will
consider the situation sufficiently seri-
Gus to abrogate treaty relations. Such
a conclusion seems hardly probable
but it is within the possibilities.

COMPETITION OF THE ORIENT.

The increasing agitation on the the
question of Oriental competition, par
ticularly in Australia and the United
States, is beginning to jattract atten-
ton in Japan, and the papers of that
country are searching for material to
prove that the cheap labor of that coun-
try is not to be feared.
About the only American exponent of
the Oriental cause is the New York
Maritime Register, which is of the opin-
ion that the American people are easily
alarmed, and, although Japan may be
ambitious, it is impossible to break the
power now held by the leading COM
mercial nations. 1t is asserted that the
Western nations will not consent to be
deprived of their gains in the easy man
ner that some predict.
OF one of the new steamship lines
that is backed by japanese capital it
says:
The fact is that at the conclusion of
the late war the company found itself
in possession of steamers for which it
had not sufficient employment at home,
and of large sum of money, represent
ing profits last year, which it chose to
employ in extending it's operations,
rather than in enriching it's sharehold-
ers. The idea that because the Japan
thousand tons they are about to rival
the great shipowning countries of the
West is too absurd to need combination.

when it occurs treatment should be
promptly applied? There is no know

Within the last few weeks some of
the representatives of the press who are
numbered as residents of the country
have apparently been inspired with an
ambition to see to what extreme they
can air private affairs of the commune
ty without being taken seriously to task.
Whatever the statutes may be, there is
a common law among the people of this
community that the privacy of the
home shall remain inviolate from the
carping criticism of men VINO would use
the public print to cast reflection upon
defenseless women. Men and women
in public life are subject to criticism.
and sometimes personalities which are
admissible. In private life, however,
there is point where self-respecting
manhood demands that a halt shall be
called. A word to the wise is sufficient.

CRITICIZE LAX METHODS,
Receiver Sheehan and Attorney
Watt Blamed for Neg
ligence.
Five Hundred Dollars a Month and
Perqu sites Collected by
the Attorney.

Judge Seawell resumed the hearing of
the case of the People against the officers
of the Peoples Home Savings Bank yes
terday. General John f. Sheehan was on
the stand all day.
General Sheehan was asked if he did not
know, when he assumed charge of the
banks affairs, that large blocks of stock
were being transferred to insolvent per
sons with view of escaping response
bility. He replied that he only knew OF
such actions in general way from reading
casually the reports in the papers of the
Bank Commissioner doings.
An mixing of the sGpshod manner in
which the banks business was conducted
was given in Generel Sheehan's testimony
regarding its relations with James Alva
Watt, the attorney of the institution. 1t
seems that $500 per month was thought to
be ab out the amount of money that would
repay Watt for his services to the bank,
and, IN addition to this the attorney was
in the habit OF bring ing in bills for addi-
tional compensation.
The books of the bank show where in
addition to the regular $500 per month,
Watt received in December, 1894 $3.50,
and on another occasion 800, besides
smaller amounts General 3heehan al
Watt as the banks attorney, and did not
think he would bring in an unjust bill.
Watts bill was based on the ground that
the service was for the benefit of The bank.
On one occasion Attorney burst was
paid $3.50, although the sum total of his
services appears to have been to appear as
a subs titute for Mr.. Watt.
An item of $50 was allowed to Mr.. Watt
for typewriting done by Mr.. Hardee, his
stenographer, and was paid by the bank.
The trust company people contend that
Mr.. Watt should have paid his own type
writing bills out of the $500 per month he
received.
The litigation between the Peoples
Bank and the Kansas Real Estate and
Improvement Company was also gone
into. The bank won this case and was
given judgment for the face of it's claim,
interest and counsel fees. All this was
paid, including $500 counsel fees. 1t de-
veIoped, however, that but $3.50 of this was
paid Mr.. Watt by the bank, the other $3.50
being received by him from the kansa:
company. 1. is claimed that Watt should
have turned this $3.50 in to the bank, but
that through the negligence of the Off
cials he was allowed to retain it.
General Sheehan was still on the stand
when court adjourned for the day.

SHOPLIFTER ARRESTED.
Maggie Mitchell Detected Stealing
Goods in the Emporium.

Maggie Mitchell Detected Stealing
Goods in the Emporium.
Maggie Mitchell, an alleged profes-
sional shoplifter, presumably hailing from
the East was arrested last evening by
Special Officers Green and Allen while she
was plying her trade in the Emporium
The woman was seen to approach the rib
bon counter, and after glancing around
the building concluded herself undiscov-
cred and slipped couple of bolts of rib
bon in her pocket.
Some of the salesgirls detected the
woman and sent for the special police
who placed her under arrest She denied
having stolen the goods at first, and whe n
the officers endeavored to search her she
sobbed as though her heart would break.
Her protestations were in vain, however,
and under her skirt was found sack
fairly bulging with stolen goods.
The first parcel to come out OF the bag
contained ten yards of dress goods. This
was followed by spool of cotton thread,
bolt of braid, childs shirt, five pairs of
children's stockings, five brass curtain
rings and three yards of curtain lace.
This satisfied the officers that they had
made an important arrest, and the woman
was taken to the Southern police station
and charged with petty larceny.
The police searched high and low for
Maggie MitchelPs room last evening, but
were unable to locate it. When they do
find the room they are confident that they
will find quantity of goods stored away
and will be able to raise the charge against
the shoplifter.

McClatchy Entitled to a Jury
Trial Before an Impair
tial Judge.
PRESS DEFENSE ASSOCIATION.
The Congressman Believes That II
Should and Will Be Revived
at an Early Date.

The decision of Judge Catlin in the case
of Editor McClatchy of the Sacramento
Bee, charged with contempt of court in
having made severe structures on certain
proceedings outside the presence of the
court, has aroused to action those citizens
who deem the freedom of the press again
threatened.
There is an almost unanimous opinion
that the old Free Press Defense Associa-
ton, called into action by the historic
Barry contempt case, should again be re-
vived. Though not much has been openly
said up to date, the undercurrent of opin-
ion is strong, and the association may
again, ph9nix-like, rise from its ashes and
do battle against the narrowness and illib-
eralitv of the bench.
Congressman Maguire's name having
been mentioned for the presidency of the
rejuvenated association, he was seen yes
terday and asked to give his opinion on
the contempt case in question.
"My opinion has always been," he re-
piled, "that the power of the court to pun
ish for contempt should be limited to
cases arising in the courtroom, or in the
immediate presence of the court during
its sessions, thereby interfering with its
procedure.
'I drafted the act which Judge Catlin
declared unconstitutional, and it expresses
exactly what my view of the law should
be.
''The power exercised by Judge Catlin in
the McClatchy case was not exercised for
the purpose of preventing the orderly pro-
ceeding of his court from being inter-
rupted or being interfered with in any
way. 1t was exercised for the purpose of
punishing the man whom he beIleveu had
been guilty of libeling him in his personal
and official character.
"Mr. McClatchy may have been guilty
of ibeling Judge Catlin. I express no
opinion on that question. Indeed, | never
read the offending article.
"But Mr.. McCiatchy was entitled on that
question to have his guilt or innocence de-
termined by a jury clothed with the
power OF determining the law as well as
the fact. And, IN my opinion, he was en-
titled to have the trial proceed before an
impartial Judge-not, at any rate, before
the Judge who charged him with libel.
81 believe that the Free Press De
| tense Association should now be revived

corning the court or the Judge, all who be-

rights, of freedom of speech and of the
press, and who know that eternal vigil
ance is the price of liberty, should organ

be in favor of recognizing the Free Press
