WILL PREVENT A
FLOOD OF CHINESE
An Interesting Case Just
Decided at Portland,
Oregon.
QUONG SINGS PETITION.
An Acrobatic Celestial Who Was
Merchant or Laborer at
Pleasure.
JUDGE BELL1NGER's DECISION
Danger of Opening a Loophole for
the Entry of Swarms of
Mongols.

PORTLAND, Or, March 12.--United
States Judge Bellinger for the past two
days has been hearing the petition of
Quong Sing for an order admitting him to
registration. The case is an interesting
one, involving the opening of loophole
through which steamer loads of Chinese
laborers might eventually creep in.
Quong Sing affirms that he was for
many years merchant at Salem, Or. In
1894 he decided on a trip to China, and
took out certificate naming him as a
merchant and emitting him to return to
this country, which latter course he took
in 1895, being landed by the Collector of
Customs at Tacoma.
On arriving at Salem he found business
so depressed that he concluded to occupy
himself as a laborer until such time as
trade revived. This, under the act he
could not do with a merchants certificate,
as the first Government officer that hap
pened to become apprised of his sailing
under false colors would land him in Jail
for deportation.
Application was made to the customs
officials for laborer's certificate, but these
officers could not see their way to grant it.
Quong Sing then filed his petition asking
the United States District Court to order
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue such
laborer's certificate in place of the mer-
chants papers he now holds.
Judge Bellinger this morning denied
the petition, claiming he had no juris-
diction in the matter, in the irst place,
and in the second, the granting of such
petition would mean the forming of
precedent which would flood the United
States courts with Chinese desiring SIM
liar changes, and of whom nothing could
be told as to whethe- the certificates Of
fered were fraudulent or not.

Canal and irrigation Company Sued for
HedrY Ddmd1es.

Heavy Damages.
FRESNO, CAL, March 1.-THE trial of
the suit brought by the Fresno Milling
Company against the Fresno Canal and
Irrigation Company was begun in Judge
Webb's department of the Superior Court
here Yesterday.
This suit, which in an indirect way
means severe contest, where large sum
is involved, has been hung up in the courts
here for more than two years without
trial.
The plaintiff claims heavy damages of
the canal company on the ground that
said defendant company failed to comply
with the terms of a contract wherein it
agreed to supply power to the milling
campany.
This city is, in equity, mixed up in this
suit, because it filled up the canal and
thereby deprived the defendant company
from complying with its part of the con-
tract. Several leading lawyers are en-
ployed in the case.
Harry Sherwood represents the Sperrv
Bros. as plaintiffs, while the defendants
company is represented by Z. B. Perrin.
The canal over which this suit origin ated
IS the old Moses ]. Church ditch, the first
irrigation canal ever made in this part of
the San Joaquin Valley

ne" in that which acts merely as
counter to transfer properties to and
from their owners. The necessity does
arise in securing that first Of all requi-
sites, the stability of value. The cost
of producing gold assists in this.
If some substance with little or
no labor cost were employed as
money to trade labor for labor, then,
inasmuch as it must certainly act also
as q measure of value, the obvious in
justice and impossibility Of the ar
rangement are apparent. If 81 bill
is to represent days work for man,
and if the man is to be compelled to
take the 81 bill for the work, clearly
we cannot afford at the present time
to put it within the power of any indi-
vidual or set of individuals to increase
indefinitely the supply of 81 bills, cost
ing nothing, but exchangeable
compulsorily just the same for
labor. This would be the most
iniquitols form Of robbery. We
do not imagine for a moment that a
scientific monetary system has been
reached by any country in the world
1t has not been thought out by any
economist. For the practical world
there must be no departure as yet
from the rule Of using as money a
substance which has commodity value,
as we'll as legal value, and which,
therefore, can measure other commod-
tiles without too violent fluctuations.

ON Money Question Rather Late.


To the Editor of the Globe
II the G o b can answer the following
questions 1t will do more to justify the posi-
ton Of those who uphold class privilege and
established fraud than it has thus far &C
complished:
/. Is it not claimed that the gold dollar
is worth a hundred cents because of it's in
tr1nsic qualities?
2. Can the intrinsic qualities of gold mon
ey be utilized in any manner without de-
stroying its function as money?
3. Would gold pass as money were 1t not
redeemable in the products of labor?
4: VIII not paper, copper, or any ma
terial capable of bearing the governments
stamp, pass as money when redeemable in
labor products?
3. Are not such products, then, the basis
of value and the ultimate money of redemp-
ton?
6. Is the silver dollar worth 100 cents be-
cause 1t certifies that a definite quantity of
energy has been applied to some useful pur-
pose, or because it can buy % As grains of
gold?
Z. If it is a dollar only because it will
buy gold, why should it contain so cents
worth of silver?
s. If gold dollar is simply a certificate
of Indebtedness, why should it be made of
gold?
9. If gold is money, because it is intrinsic
ally valuable, why must it have the govern
ment stamp on it?
10. If a man trades a definite proportion
Of his work represented by dollar for an
other definite quantity of labor energy Of
what use Is the intrinsic value of the labor
symbol? If the gold dollar symbolizing labor
energy is but certificate Of Indebtedness
is not the gold in the dollar simply misap.
propriated from its legitimate uses and is
not the "honest dollar" lie on the face
Of it?
These questions are brief. and admit of

for recognition cannot be too strongly urged.
For secretary of state, Mr.. Mckinley could

only do honor to the position and the country

Congressman McCleary's Activity
and Financial Stand Rewarded.

Congressman McCleary has made
ninety-fve formal speeches and
twenty short talks during the cam
paign just closed. He has spoken at
Canton, Ohio, in Indiana, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Iowa, South Dakota, Min
neapolis, st. Paul, and other states
and large cities. He has spoken in
every congressional district in Mime
sofa, and besides all OF this outside
work has found time to speak once or
more in every county of the Second
district. He has been in great de-
mand in all parts of the country, and
his speeches are acknowledged to have
been among the best and most con-
vincing of any during the campaign.
Mr.. McCleary has been reelected by
a larger majority than ever before.
Two years ago hekreceived about 1000
votes more than the Democratic and
Populist candidates combined, but
this year he has1received nearly 5000
more than his fusion opponent. This
is magnificent endorsement by his
constituency of one Of the great
leaders of the sound money move
ment, and proves that the people OF
the Second district are all right on
the money question.
According to the advices which
Congressman McCleary has received,
he will carry nearly every county of
the district. His majorities by
counties will be as follows: Blue
Earth, 1900; Nicollet, 1884, Jackson,
300; Redwood, 700; Lac qui Parle, 900;
Murray, $50; Rock, 500; Lyon, ESQ !;
Faribault, 1000; Chippewa, 500;
Waterman, 700; Cottonwood, 800; Vel
low Medicine, 300; Mobiles, 400. Pipe
