AN EXCLUSION" FARCE.

The American Congress, during
the last Winters session, passed
an immigration law, which Presi-
dent Cleveland vetoed. 1t provid-
ed, among other things, that Can
adian laborers should not be allow
ed to enter the United States, I'M
der certain conditions. 1t struck
at the many Canadian farmers hv-
ing near the border line, who live
at home and work, during the Sum
mer months in the States. Con
gress believed that it did clever
thing. 1t did not want any bro
therhood of man" principles, but
simply business principles" to
infest the long strip OF border
land. The proposed law would
have made great distress among
thousands of honest laborers, if
that unhappy victim of remorse,
President Cleveland, had not had
the wisdom to veto it.
Suddenly the marvellous gold
fields of Klondyke are discovered
on Canadian territory. The Cana
dams too have an immigration law.
But Brother Jonathan wants to get
at the gold. He softens at once to-
wards the Canadian. He politely
calls on him, puts his hat on the
floor, wipes his brow, asks his Cana
dian neighbor if he and his family
are toPable well, and proceeds, Il
guess | was a leetle previous IN
histing that air immigration bill

no harm, but them boys called the
Labor Unions kinder hustled me
too fast. I don't take much stock In
that Cleveland Teller, but [ guess
he was about right. in stoppin' that
law. [ haint always as [ mighten
to be. Hope will be neighborly,
and not bother the BOYS when they
run over and scratch for a leetle
gold on your farm. Times is sort
of hard"
And the Canadian in a friendly
sort of British way replies, Come
over neighbor and bring the boys.
l know you wanted to help your
self by making many thousands of
my poor neighbors poorer than
they are. You wanted to build up
a Chinese wall and. divide off the
Anglo-Saxon race on this CONT
nent. The ''fat prophet as the
n. Y. Sun calls him, stopped you.
It is all right Bring the boys
over"
Uncle Sammy puts on his hat,
shakes hands, walks out very meek
", and whispers to himself, II
came near being left in that deal
The moral of it is, as Bre'r Rab-
bit said to Bre'r Fox, "before you
build up high fence, look over
and see if there are any fat chickens
in your neighbor's roost."

Headline

Hundreds of remedies have been in
troduced and used for the treatment
and cure of this widespread ailment,
but in most cases only temporary re-
lief was obtained. Headline has
proven to be the only infallibIe and
harmless preventative and cure yet in
troduced. It's effect is positive-it con-
tains nothing but of a purely vegeta bic
nature.

A PARAGON OF EXCELLENCE.

ALASKA Is attracting an
enormous amount of atten-
ton just now, and every line
|of matter containing refer
ence to it, is eagerly scanned
by thousands.
In view of this, perhaps it
is not out of place to mention
a few facts worth consider
ing.
I. The Alaska is con-
structed upon strictly scien-
tific principles, by which low
temperature and drVness of
air are naturally and newt
able obtained.
2. The Alaska has pre-
served fresh meats perfectly
for three weeks in the hot
test weather.
;. The Alaska produces
better results with less ice
than any other.
4. The Alaska possesses
the only provision chamber
free from odor.
(. Between the outer and
inner walls there is an inch
and a half space filled with
pure charcoal, and experience
extending over three and a
half years, has convinced
us that the Alaska is without
doubt, the best refrigerator
on the market, in construc-
ton, in power to preserve
perishable goods, in economy
of ice, and in fact, in ali
points necessary to make
them first-claSs in every re-
Spect.
We have them in several
sizes, at from SIS to SIS and
also keep the Alaska ice
chests.

termed HEADACHE. The literary

A TOURISTS LETTER.

The letter from Tourist
published elsewhere. shows the IN
terest taken In us by the people
I'm the Fatherland. Charmed as he
is, with the soil, and air, and hos
pitality, he naturally infers that
pretty much everything Is charm
ing here, or ought to be, and he
suggests that the interesting details
of our social and political evolution,
should be more widely published In
the States. He refers to the deep in
terest formerly taken in us, by the
"good people" of the United States,
and observes that now the first
and only colony is almost without
human interest to the parent coun-
try" He Justly comments on the
singular honesty and intelligence in
the administration of public affairs,
and believes it is equal to that OF
any community in the States. He
notices the gradual improvement
in the contract system of labor. But
he is rather surprised that we do
not make known to our American
friends, the interesting details of
our curious social and political evo-
luton.
EHTourist" makes score of points
which cover broad ground. Since
1920, there have been two periods
of Hawaiian history. The first
covered mainly the contact of the
missionary with the native. 1t was
regarded by the people of New
England, and of some other States
as the most successful gospel work
of the early part of the century.
Its history even fascinated the
children. In 1863. the dominance
of the American Mission, voluntar-
ilv ended. and for reasons which
need not now be given, there was.
after that a tendency on the part of
the natives to revert to heathenlsm.
The Roman Catholic Church made
great advances, and now embraces
a majority of them. But the story
is no longer fascinating or romantic
TO the New Highlander.
The Industrial period began,
after the passage of the Reciprocity
treaty. The planters, and the for
eign community behind them,
grappled with the difficult problems
of sugar making. Instead of rely
ing upon the limited and uncertain
native labor, they made the perilous
venture of developing the sugar in
dustry with great energy, and be
gan the impoVation of alien labor
ers of three or more races, without
taking into account the fact that a
human being is unit in any po-
litical system, and sooner or later
the units" fall into line and make
startling figures. There is a mar
vellous development of the indus
trial period. But its history, like
the history of nearly all CONNER
cial and industrial developments,
has its hard side. Trade looks
steadily at the North Star of the
dollar, not towards the East, to the
sign of the Cross. As it is else
where, so it is here. The true his
tory of the industrial period, up to
the present, should be full of rich
material for the political student,
but it will not interest the general
reader.
Nor will the general reader be

HISTORY OF TIE CRIME.
One of the Most Noted Ever Tried in
Utah.

The trial of the Hamilton murder
case, which eliminated yesterday in
the accuittaI of the defendant, has
excited widespread interest. and a
brief review OF the tragedy viii not
be OFT of place at this time.
The information charged that on
April 10 last. Mrs. Lou Hamilton de-
Iiberately and with malice aforethought
killed and murdered her husband. John
H. Hamilton. by shooting him with a
revolver
Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton had domestic
troubles, and the husband claimed that
he had such information as satisfied his
mind that his wife had had criminal
intercourse with one w c. PaVey on
various occasions, at Pavey's place Of
business on South West Temple street
in this city Acting on that infoTma-
ton, Hamilton insisted on his wife go
Ing home TO her parents, and he took
steps for the institution Of a suit for
divorce.
Mrs Hamilton strongly opposed being
made defendant in a divorce suit and,
at her instance. several meetings were
had between the parties. with a view of
patching up their differences, but these
attempts 1T reconciliation proved abor-
tive and the husband persisted in his
determination not TO live With his wife
again. Discussions were had between
them as to the division of certain arti-
cles Of personal property and Mr.. Ham

to him a ring. a revolver and other
small articles and, by appointment, he
called at the residence OF MIR. Seldom
brother-in-law of the defendant, where
she was staying, on West First South
street. about o'clock in the evening of
the day of the tragedy.
The husband and wife had an inter
view and when the former was leaving
the house, the Whole neighborhood was
startled by the reports of five or six
pistol shots fired in very rapid success
sion. and a few minutes afterwards the
body of Hamilton was found in the
front yard of the house, with a bullet
hole through his heart. 1t was then
about $3.50 O'clock. and the night was
very dark so that it was several min
utes before lights were obtained and
the body found, but when it was dis
covered, life was extinct.
Mrs. Hamilton and Seldom were ar
rested for murder, but on the prelin
mary hearing Seldom was discharged
and Mrs Hamilton held. The testimony

The Spanish press unanimously supports

given during the past two weeks is
fresh in the mind Of the public. and the
trial was sensational from the begin
ming. Mrs. Hamilton, in substance,
claimed that her husband called at
Seldom house on the night of the ira
gedy to get the ring, pistol and some
other articles belonging to him. The
exposure and disgrace with which she
was threatened had so wrought upon
her mind that she had determined to
kin herself and had that afternoon
purchased cartridges for the pistol in
OF der to carry out her plan. The wea-
pom was loaded when she handed it to
him with other articles, and at that
juncture, she claimed, he became great
~ enraged. struck her in the mouth,
drew the revolver and fred at her,
when she grappled with him and the
weapon was discharged several times
in the struggle, one of the shots inflict-
ing Il mortal wound.
At the preliminary hearing. Mrs.
Hamilton was represented by Attor-
Meys Edward McGurrin and Fred T.
McGurrin. The sentiment against the
defendant was very strong from the
beginning, and it certainly did not di-
minish, so far as the general public is
concerned, up TO the beginning of the
trial at least.
on the trial, Mrs. Hamilton was rep
resented by Judge Powers and the Nc
GurYin brothers, and the defense, bril-
liant throughout. although Prosecuting
Attorney Van Colt and his assistant,
Mr. Putnam, presented the strongest
case possible.
Judge Powers never appeared to bet
ter advantage than during this trial.
Eloquent, alert, resourceful, he made a
gallant and winning fight.
Fred T. McGUrin, who, next to Judge
Powers. figured most prominently in
the defense at the trial. surprised his
friends with his two notable efforts, the
opening statement for the defense, and
the opening argument at the close. The
case has. naturally. brought him INTO
much prominence, although he is far
from being unknown in legal circles,
having served as stenographer in the
district court for some years. and as
private secretary to Senator Brown
Edward McGurrin, who was not so
COZ spicuous At the trial, is credited,
nevertheless. with having played an
important part in preparing the case
for trial He is a comparative new
conner here. He is 6. graduate OF the
University of Michigan and, after prae-
ticing law at Chicago for a time. re-
moved TO salt Lake.
