Washington. July 22.-Terence V. Pow
derly of Scranton, Pa, will have
rocky road to travel before he is con-
firmed by the senate as commissioner Of
immigration, to which place he was
appointed by President Mckinley last
Saturday. Already the knights Of La
Dor and the Federation of Labor, the
two most important and influential or
ganizations Of workingmen, have given
notice that they will file protest
against his confirmation. and will Go all
in their power TO defeat him.
Senator Fairbanks. the chairman OF
the immigration committee, which will
have to act on the nomination, said that
he had not received any formal docu-
ment, but the fact that fight would be
made had been intimated to him. From
other sources il is learned that the OBJ
jections to Mr.. Powderly will be numer-
Gus and definite. In the first place, Ii is
charged that he never was Republican
until he went into the campaign last
fall, but that when he ran for mayor
of Scranton he was identified very large
ly with the Democrats
In the second place he was an ardent
advocate of the free coinage of silver
as long as he was identified with labor
organizations, but became an advocate
OF sound money last fall. His troubles
with the knights Of Labor. which led
TO his being expelled from that organi-
zation, will also be presented at some
length to the committee and its men,

assistant adjutant general and assist

gan department, G.. A. r., which has
just been forwarded to national head
quarters, shows that while there were
3S2 posts and 1906 members in Michi-

Dec. 81, 1896, there were 3S3 posts and
16.03S members June 80, 1897.
The gains during the six months un-

transfers from other posts, III; rein

These gains were offset by the follow

posts, 1873; by suspension, 572; by sur
render of charter, posts and 43 MEM

present membership OF the department
shows a decrease of 5S from that shown
by the last previous report. An in
creased interest in G.. A. II. matters
on the part OF the veterans is noted in
view of the fact that the death loss was
119 greater than the net loss, and the
gains by muster and reinstatement near

Made a Great Sensation.

Senior Moret y Pendergast's speech at
Saragossa on the Cuban question and
In denunciation of the policy Of the gov
ernment has made a great sensation.
The Epoch says:
"The frightful picture Of Cuba painted
by the Liberal leader at Saragossa can
only be compared to the inflammatory
utterances of theworst enemies of Spain.
We believe his insinuations against the
throne must permanently keep the Lib
erals out of power, owing to the in
creased strength such utterances give
the monarchists in the eyes of the pub
lic."
Says the Report Is Incorrect.
Scnor Canovas del Castillo, the pre-
mier. states that the report of an alli-
ance between Spain and Japan Is incor-
rect. The most cordial relations exist
between the two powers, but the under
standing does not extend further. He
adds:
"It was never more necessary than
now for the government to consider
what reforms ought to be introduced
in Cuba"
1t is reported that the government is
negotiating for the purchase or four
large warships. There have been seri-
Gus outbreaks and riots at Barcelona
and the gendarmes have been stoned
by the mob. The government has sent
large reinforcements to restore order.

Feared Violence to the Man.

AS the train pulled out a threatening
crowd gathered about the man, and he
was taken in hand by the depot police
for fear those who had witnessed the
scene would do him violence. He ex-
planned TO the officers that he was the
father of the child and that the woman
was his second wife. She had become
very fond of the child, but he did not
want her to remain in possession of the
little one, so he had brought his moth
er to Chicago. Without letting his wife
know of his plan he had taken her and
the child to the depot with the idea OF
doing just what he did.
Il do not think my wife would care
so much" he said, as he forced the wo-
man into a cab. This is no ones busl-

The Typical Missourian.
D AIaryville Tribune.

From the B~laryville Tribune.
There is a difference of opinion among
the people OF this county as to what kind
of a gent the typical Missourian is. The
denizen of the state holds an opinion of
himself that differs widely from the one
that the people. prolstariat and plutocrat
alike. who reside outside and have never
surveyed him or the glories that surround
him. entertain. The same thing is true in
a degree Of the residents of Kansas, Texas,
Kentucky. Arkansas aud the other more or
less slandered states. Dat il is true in a
greater measure of the Ar<sourian than of
any of the others.
They think outside OF this state in every
direction that the Missourian is somewhat

When the poet SANG of Missouri he sang

the common plug thinks of Missouri he
thinks of Ozark or Pike county; when the
student of politics talks of her he talks
more often of some of the smaller fry than
of immortal. glorious Tom Benton. People
have formed their opinions of the Mis-

is. they confound the Missourian of fifty

too much tinctured with Democracy: he is

UNFAIR TREATMENT OF DAVIS.

Those who dislike Webster Davis must
be greatly irritated at the activity of his
admirers in providing an entertainment in
his honor. On no other grounds can the
n~onsensical attempt to excite the preju-
dices of his colored friends be explained.
Nj. Davis is now in possession OF a COM
Portable Office, and will depart in a short
time TO take up its duties. He has no fav-
ors to ask and no popularity to court for
at least four years to come; the tactics of
his enemies therefore cannot be regarded
as merely political trickery.
The p~retense that Davis is mistreating
his colored supporters is the veriest nom
sense, of course. Nobody expects colored
people TO be invited to social gatherings of
the whites. or white people TO be invited
10 social gatherings of the colored folk. No
sensible colored man expected an invita-
ton TO the Midland banquet. or desired It.
Thu whites and blacks mingle in business
and politics. but i'm social and church af-
fairs they do not; they never have so min
gled, and possibly never will-at least dur
ing the present generation.
The attempt to make Mr.. Davis uncom-
Portable during the few days of his stay
among his friends and neighbors, and to
mar the success OF their entertainment in
his honor. has the appearance of unfair
ness and persecution, and is likely to hurt
those engaged in it more than it will hurt
Davis. Kansas City people, like American
people generally, believe in fair play.

In the case of Preston. says the st. JOS

witnesses even presented by the defense.
