SIX MOHAMMEDANs DETAINED.

Held Under the Act That 1t Is Unlawful
for Polygamis's to Enter This Country.
Six Mohammedans have been detained
at the barge office, New York, because
of their belief in polygamy. Under the
immigration act it is unlav fal for pc
lygamisU to enter this country but the
law has not heretofore been enforced.
An appeal will be made to the authori-
ties at Washington in behalf of the immi-
grants held up on the ground that a
mere belief in oolygamy does not make
one p0lygamis, cut that there must be
plura marriage before the law can apply.
In the ''Surah of the Cow" in the Ko-
ran, when the prophet is asked about
the number of wives man should have
he replies MARRY We whomsoeyer you
see beautiful among you by twos, threes
and fours, provided you can treat them
with justice and equality" All Turks
believe in this doctrine Does that be-
lief make them polygamis's?

UNCLE JOE MANSFIELD.
Mcintosh CountY's Representative in The
General Assembly.

Who is the "UnCle Joe Mansfield"
what is he doing In Atlanta, ard how in
the world did he get elected to the legis-
latLre? The reports of legislative pro-
ceedings have put him in the attitude of
one who has been about TO do nothing
but introduce two ridiculously foolish
bills-one to legalize prize fighting and
the other to make a gentlemanly game
of poker all right in the eyes of the laws
of Georgia. Saturday, the Constitution
says, "Uncle Joe" was arrested by the
seargent-at-arms for attempting to es-
cape from his duties in he house in VIC
lation of Speaker Jenkins orders. He
vigorously objected to beng arrested
and carried to the house. Before the
sergeant-at-arm reached the hall Mr..
Mansfield made very daring escape
and when the house adjourned he was
still at large
Wouldn' it be betterlo let the gentle
man from Mcintosh 90 home, and then
let his constituents send up another man
who has even a faint idea of what states
manship is-one who knows the differ
ence between wasting hundreds of dol
lars Of the pt Oples money uselessly dis
cussing foolish and Improbable meas
ures and devoting his time to the study
Of questions that concern the public
good? "Uncie Joe Mansfield" accord
ing to reports, is a legislative clown with
out even the advantage of being funny.

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN IN CHINA.
To BE Accepted as a Warning to ReIgning
Princes.

No DC H1CStpLSU as a w dEnInR 10 EelSnlnE
Princes.
Eclipses of the sun and moon-more
especially those of the sun-in China are
treated as warning from heaven, that
the reigning prince has been wanting in
wisdom and morality This is now ex-
emplitied by an imperial edict dealing
with an eclipse of the sun which the
imperial board of astronomy at Picking
has Just reported to the throne as about
to occur on January %, 1898, which
happens to be the Chinese New Year
day.
The decree in question states that "for
centuries an eclipse of the sun has been
accepted by the princes of past dynasties
as a warning t. themselves from heaven
to reform their ways and rule righteous
ly and even in the present dynasty, name
ly, during the reigns of K'ang Hsi and
Ch'ien Lung CA, D. 1662-I794), there
happened eclipseS of the sun on New
Years day." In view of this and the
warnings such an occurrence seemed to
indicate, the emperor declares that he is
"tilled with a great fear" and that he
had tried "during his moments Of leisure
inwardly to question himself as to the
errors he had committed" Farther, as
"a token of humility and submission to
the will of heaven" he commands that
the New Year day ceremonies OF con
graduation paid to him, held annually
in the Taiho throne hall, be changed to
the Diminishing throne hall-the last
named meaning ito clear the political at
mosphere"
TIE annual banquet given to the clans
men of the imperial house on the day in
question is also ordered to be discontin-
ued for the year, while every one belong
ing to the court is commanded to put
on sober every day garments while the
eclipse is in evidence, instead of the gOr-
gaOus full dress court robes demanded
by etiquette on the first day of the year.
The court will then assemble in the in
ner palace, where an altar to heaven will
be erected, facing open air, before which
the emperor and his full court will pros
trate themselves ''to beseech mercy of
nigh heaven to his chosen people" -

The Alien Tax Law Again.

Deputy Attorney General Reeder has
given State Treasurer Haywood an opin-
ion in which he states the law depart
ment advises that county commissioners
shall insist on employers of male aliens
making returns and paying the tax of
three cents per day on each male alien
employed, as required by the Campbell
act passed by the last Legislature, until
the law has been declared demonstrations
al by the court of last resort.
The question was raised by Philadel
phia firm which wrote TO the State Treas
urer asking if it is proper to return to
male aliens in its employ the tax which
the firm has collected from them up to
date, in view of the decision of the United
States circuit court that the law is uncon-
stitutional and that some large firms have
already paid back the amount held from
the pay of the aliens.
The commissioners of Forest county
will insist upon the collection of the tax
from all aliens according to the law, until
the court of last resort has passed upon its
constitutionality.
