AN uNooNsT1Tur1oNA1 LAW.

Pennsylvania alien labor law has
been declared unconstitutional. That is
as it should be.
1t will be remembered that the Penn
sylvania legislature, Just before it adj
journed, passed a law imposing a tax
of three cents a day on all alien la
borers in the state. The employers of
this labor were to be held responsible
for the payment of the tax, they to
take it out of the wages of the men.
II is not long since the law was passed
and it is not probable that any consid-
cradle amount of tax has been col
lected, so there will be little trouble in
refunding it,
The law was a bad. one from every
point of view. It's ostensible purpose
was to protect native labor. but the
which prohibit the Importation of alien
labor. The laws on the federal statute
books are wholly ample for this pur-
pose, though that they have been
sharnefully violated there is no doubt
but nowhere more than in the state
Of Pennsylvania. Whenever there has
been any labor trouble there It has
been the practice of the great manu-
featuring concerns of one kind and an
other to import foreigners to take the
places of the strikers, and when in
turn the foreigners became strikers, as
was often the case, more foreigners
were imported to take their places. 1t
was a vicious system and Pennsylvania
was responsible for it, and her method
of attempting to eradicate the evil was
equally vicious. To permit foreigners
to come to this country. nay, to invite
them and tell them they are welcome,
and then to arbitrarily impose taxes on
them simply because they are foreign
ers, is to treat them ungraciously and
shamefully, and it appears from the
decision Of Judge Acheson, unconstitu-
tionally. To ask man into your house
and then to i'll treat him is brutal This
is what Pennsylvania did. The decis-
ion is righteous one, though of course
it is not necessarily final. If an appeal
is taken it is most probable that it
will be sustained.

PUBLIC BATHING.

All are familiar with newspaper jokes
and cartoons about bathers and their
scanty attire, but now the question has
come up for serious discussion in the
east. The New York Tribune says that
the authorities Of a leading seaside re-
sort have taken action for the regula-
ton of public bathing, or the conduct
of the bathers. They have decreed,
says the Tribune, that people shall not
go about the streets and other public
places promiscuously, clad only in the
scanty garments which they wear
while bathing in the surf. The
authorities are denounced for this, some
saying that it is tyrannieal, others that
it is Puritanical and prudish They
may be denounced, but their action
will certainly be approved by all peo-
pie who have any regard for decency
and the common proprieties. After tell
ing how bathers mingie together while
in the surf, and how repugnant their
conduct often is to good morals and
good manners, the Tribune says:
But that is not, after all, the worst
OF IT, TOT while SuCh conduct IS con-
fined to the beach, people of modest
instincts can shun that place as they
would any other where indecency was
being paraded. The eliminating of
Tense is when the bathers, or alleged
bathers, take to exhibiting themselves
all over town. They don their scanty
raiment in their cottages or hotels and
then lounge about the hotel parlors and
piazzas, promenade the avenues, enter
ice cream saloons and other places of
public resort, and thus spend perhaps
half the day exhibiting themselves and
obtruding themselves upon the sight OF
the public, in a stage of semi-nudity
which, displayed upon the stage of a
variety theatre, would call for prompt
intervention of the police. Then, per-
haps, they lounge back home and put
on decent clothing, without ever GO
ing near the water. Or perhaps they
go into the surf for awhile, and then
saunter back home through the crowd
ed streets, clad only in their dripping
clinging bathing suits, an offense to
cleanliness and an insult to decency.
Such practices have been notorious

RAISING FREIGHT RATES.

The Omaha Bee says that the recent
advance in the price of bread stuffs has
been seized by the traffic managers of
the trunk lines east of Chicago as a
pretext for increasing freight rates on
-four, wheat and corn shipped from
Chicago to New York; that the raise
in the freight rate on corn is from Is
cents to 20 cents per 100 pounds: that
the rate, which is to go into effect Sept
g. will, therefore, be a forced contri-
button of cents on every bushel of
corn carried by rail from the farms
west of the Mississippi to the sea board;
and that assuming that the states of
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and South Da-
kota export only SO0,OOO,OOO bushels of
corn this year, the tribute levied by
the trunk lines upon the productive in
dustry of these states will be equal TO
$24, 600 600.
The Bee declares it can conceive of
no valid excuse for such an arbitrary
advance in freight rates at this time,
and that with increased earnings from
increased business the roads should be
content
The increased rates will undoubtedly
bear somewhat hard upon the farmer,
but with the increased prices for his
products not so hard as the old rates at
the old prices for his wheat and corn.
The railroads have not been making
any great amount of money in the past
few years as the number of receiver
ships show, and it can scarcely be ex-
pected that they Will not seek to avail
themselves of an advance in the prices
of the freight they haul.
There is a shortage in the worlds
wheat crop 2nd it is expected that the
shortage will have to be made up from
the abundant crops in the United
States, and it is this fact which makes
the present advance in the price of
wheat and corn. In other and plain
words the American farmers are talk
ing advantage of the misfortunes and
necessities of the people of other coun-
tries to get an advanced price for their
own products. To get their products to
market the farmers are dependent on
the railroads. and in raising the freight
rates the railroads are taking advan-
tage of their necessities; in other words
the railroads are doing to the farmers
exactly what the farmers are doing to
the foreigners. And neither is commit
ting heinous offense.

for years at more than one resort.
They have been participated in, no
doubt, by many pure minded but
thoughtless people. But it is time they
were abolished, so far as it is in the
power of municipal law and public
opinion to abolish them. Public bath
ing in the surf is all right, but the
bathers should be decently clad, and
they should remember, moreover, that
the place to wear a bathing suit is in
the bath and nowhere else
These remarks will commend them
selves to all people who have any re-
gard for morals or decency. Many
bathing suits are disgusting of them
selves, but when those who wear them
make of them street costumes and pa
rade the streets and other public places
in them, they outrage respectable peo-
pie and should be made to be decent
and respect the feelings of others. Hap

Of the murder. These confessions at
least point moral as to lynching. A
mob never makes any inquiry into the
innocence or guilt of its victims. but
wreaks its vengeance upon them with
out regard to this question. With all
the safeguards that the law places
around prisoner charged with crime,
occasionally an innocent man is con-
victed and executed. Then how much
more often must innocent men suffer

for lynching.

A New Orleans special dispatch to
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says
that Antonio Richard, alias Creole"
the negro arrested on the Ellington
plantation in st. Charles parish, a few
miles above New Orleans, charged
with the robbery and murder of Louis
Seigler, is actually staggering the au-
thorities with the extent of his confess
sions. Creole" was leader of a gang
which included two other men named
Morris and Washington, and two wo-
men named Octavie and Lavinia Alex
ander Creole" confessed the crime.
Saturday he confessed to a second muir
der, saying that he had killed Charles
Constantine, a peddler. He pointed out
the place of burial, and the remains
were found on Sunday. Sunday Creole
admitted five more murders. He muir
dered a man named Patterson i'm st.
Landry, and a year afterward a tramp
at Melville, in the same parish. In
1895 he killed q negro woman, AleXan-
der Johnson, a colored laborer, and an
old Spaniard named Alexis. The MUIR
der of Alexis last June created a great
sensation at the time. The United
States state department paid damages
to the Italian government only the
other day for these lynched Italians.
He confessed in all to seven murders,
all committed with the idea of robbery.

THE IRONY OF FATE.

He had fought many battle and escaped
without a wound,
He had stampeded cattle and had bravely
held his ground;
He had hunted in Montana and been
snow bound on the plain,
And he'd sojourned in Havana when the
plague was raising Cain.
He had crossed the stormy ocean many
times without mishap-
He'd recovered from a potion fixed up by
a jealous Jap;
He had been a reckless rover from the
moment of his birth,
And had Travelled almost over every por-
ton of the earth.
He encountered every danger that you've
ever heard about;
He had been a, Texas ranger and reck-
less army scout;
And the moral, if there's any. in this
humble little tale
Is that he died from stepping on an an
cient rusty nail.
