A NULLIFIED LAW.

One Of the first evidences of the
sudden change of our political condi-
ton is the immediate notification of
Act IS, respecting Chinese immigra-
ton, approved by President Dole on
July 7, 1898 This act permits the
Board of immigration to introduce
Chinese Iaborers, under certain cOndi-
tons 1t is, however, only a re-enact-
ment of a law on the statute books.
But the joint resolution, in conform
ity with the treaty of annexation, pro-
vides that there shall be no further
immigration of Chinese into the Ha-
waiian Islands, except upon such con-
ditions as are now or may hereafter
be allowed by the laws of the United
States"
AS the act of annexation operates
at once, the permission given to the
Chinese, under this Act No. 6S, is made
void
The Chinese now residing here are
therefore, at premium, whatever it
may be. Whether this premium will
draw from the Pacific Coast any of the
Chinese resident there, will soon ap-
pear.
The annexation act forbids the emf
grafton of Chinese from Hawaii to the
United States, but the probability is
that this act is unconstitutional, and
it will be so declared, whenever it is
brought squarely before the Federal
Courts. That the Chinese may emf
CRATE from the United States to Ha-
wall. is probably lawful.
The movements of the Chinese be-
tween the Islands and the Pacific
Coast will he governed bv the law of
surn1v and demand. What that law
will he. only time will determine. The
conditions Of agriculture and business
on the Coast Will regulate it.

the Mosaic law was that of being
stoned to death" The Bishop has in
voked the law. He has steadily violat-
ed it. All that remains now is for
Marshal Brown to take him TO the
baseball grounds and stone him to
death, before the smiling multitude.
Even the Justices of our Supreme
Court Will admit that if n man in
vokes a law, he must stand by it,
even if it covers him with fatal
shower of stones.
And now. fair daughters Of Homo

be stoned TO death. He will recant.
He is not prepared to die. Death

has invoked the Mosaic law. You too
have invoked it. He will recant. But

THE BISHOP ON DRESS.
This is the language of the Bishop
of Honolulu, in the Diocesan.
"a PRECEPT NOT TO Re FOR
GOTTEN.

This should make every Christian hest
tate before dressing up for theatricals in
the garments of the opposite sex, and
should make every Christian woman pause
before allowing herself to be arrayed in
the sanctuary of God in cassock, surplice
and square cap"
AS the Bishop proposes to regulate
the dress of women, by the laws of
Moses, certainly his own dress should
be, regulated by the same laws. That
is only fair.
quoted above, is this:
Thou shalt not wear a garment of
divers sorts, as of wooden and linen
together"
Verse II Thou shalt make the
fringes upon the four quarters (wings)
of thy vesture. wherewith thou cover
list myself
AS the Bishop declares that the
Mosaic law is in force for women, it
follows that it must be in force for
all men, including himself
What then is the Bishops dress at
present? Does it not, when gathered
about his imperial form, closely and
singularly resemble those inanimate
but effective limitations Of the human
figure that are erected by inartistic
farmers in the corn fields, for the pur-
pose of preventing the depredations of
the INSCRIPTIONS birds? Tt is a griev-
GUS violation of the Mosaic law.

teronomy for the Bishops benefit are

Judging only from the situation here
that the Office Of Governor, for the
next four years, will be rendered to
Mr.. Dole, and that of Chief Justice, to
Mr. Judd, while those who now fill the
subordinate offices will be continued
in office until the President has leisure
to look into affairs.
The President has unbounded con-
fidence in Mr. John w. Foster, and
may be governed by his advice to
some extent, if he is one of the Com
missioners..
The boys about town who feel con-
scientiously and deeply that, 'the mis-
sionary must CO." and also feel with
patriotic rectitude that "the linen dus-
ter and carpet Dagger must not come, ="
may be rather disappointed.
President Mckinley is of the mis-
sionary sort, on the one hand, and he
also feels, on the other hand that the
members of Congress who stood by
him in securing annexation, have
many pOllIlCdi ODlISdJlOHS W pay, no"
due to their many and hungry con-
stituents. Does politeness demand of
us that we say to those who have done
SO much service for us, feed your
selves first; we will wait a little"
Mr.. Mckinley is a practical states
man and party man. No one here
has done anything for the party, so
that the President is not under any
obligation to call him out of the cold,
and invite him to warm his toes at
the Federal fire-places. At the same
time the President will by no means
make clean sweep. 1t is his mis-
fortune, perhaps, that he has no special
hatred of the missionary" as we told
our readers some months ago.

THE APPOINTMENTS

We state upon absolute authority
that at no time or place has there been
any arrangement, agreement, under
standing, or suggestion, between Pre-
sident Mckinley and President Dole,
regarding the persons who would be
appointed to Office by President Nc
Kinley, in the event Of annexation.
The policy now prevails to. some
extent, of filling territorial offices with
territorial residents. How far Mr. Nc
KinIey will follow it, we do not know.
His recent appointment of an mex
perienced man to the post of Minister
to China, in the place Of a singularIy
able man, Mr.. DENLY, who was un-
commonly influential with the Chinese
Government, indicates that political
necessities may force him to reluctant

PRESS COMMENTS.

The average American citizen
may be pardoned. in these piping times
of peace, for wondering whether he
lives under republican Plutocracy-
-Tammany Times.
The American people are very
tired of Marcus AIonzo Hanna. They
have tolerated him for years They will
not stand him much longer. He has
never said or done a thing which was
not un-American.-Wash Times.
The cuckoos are unwittingly
making a serious charge against Cleve-
land. They are limiting that he issued
bonds so that Mckinley might have
reserve for war purposes They don't
say so in plain terms, but they ask.
IF Mr.. Cleveland hadn't issued bonds,
Mr.. Mckinley would have no money in
the treasury. "-Atlanta Constitution.
President Mckinley resorted to
diplomacy with a nation skilled in its
arts by centuries of practice, while he
had but his own experience, the aid of
his Canton lawyer and thatofa old man
in his dotage- When tenderfoot sits in
a game with experts he is pretty apt to
get the worst of it. Sagasta was not
slow to take the advantage given him.

The republicans in the house OF
congress put themselves on record as
willing to do something in behalf Of
Cuba, but unwilling that the democrat

If Mark Hanna were capable of

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
Progress i'm Civilization Has Always
Been Accompanied by an Increas-
ing supply of Money.

The more history is examined the
more conspicuous it viii appear that
progress in civilization, which includes
the development of the physical and in
tellectual faculties OF man and the
control OF the elements OF nature, las
always been accompanied by an in
creasing supply of legal tender money.
Gold and silver having been used for
that purpose from time immemorial,
the product of the mines marks the rise
and decay OF nations. When the mines
are productive the energies Of man are
brought into activity, and progress and
prosperity are the inevitable results.
When the mines are exhausted, contrac-
ton, falling prices and decay always
appear.
The controlling conditions OF pros
perity and human progress are in
volved in the stability of general prices.
Long continued contraction and falling
prices are as fatal TO liberty and pros
perity as slow and deadly poison is fatal
to animal life. Modern civilization was
made possible by the gold and silver
from Mexico and South America. The
civilization which we now enjoy is
threatened by the control which the
money type of man has acquired over
the legislation OF the civilized world.
1t is now seen that the non-use of one
Of the precious metals is as fatal in it's
effects as the failure of production of
the mines. The chains of feudal slav-
cry are already riveted upon the mill
lions OF India and Egypt by the despotic
IF r9IrT<a1-1TS nf GLAND
who inaugurated the gold standard.
The gold aristocrats of Europe have
divided and enslayed Africa. England
alone has enslaved more than 300, 000,-
600 in Asia and has dominant infiu-
ence in China and Japan. Germany,
France and Russia are also worshipers
Of gold, and so far from resisting the
progress of slavery in Asia are clamor-
ing for their distributive share of the
vast empire of China. Wherever the
British lion has conquered other races,
slavery more CALLING than existed in
ancient times has been established. The
heartless cruelty of England seems to
have inspired Russia and Germany. and
republican France to reap the advan-
tage OF Asiatic slavery.
The proud position Of our great re-
public has disappeared. A cringing de-
pendence upon foreign money lenders,
and timidity in even pretending TO as
sert the power Of 10000. 900 of people to
make our own laws and maintain an in
dependent financial position on earth,
have made the name of American citi-
zen reproach throughout he nations
of the earth and induced the thousands
of millionaires who annually visit the
old world to apologize for the govern
ment and laws OF the United States.
Some of them go so far as to apologies
for being American citizens. and to in
vest large sums of money in the pur-
chase of foreign titles, pedigrees and
coats of arms of mythical ancestors

GAGE AND BIMETALLISM.
DISQUALIFICATION BimetaI-
ism No BfmetaIIism at all.

The term bimetallism has cIoaked
more political rascality and lies than
any term that was ever invented. The
bimetallist is enc who believes in the
free coinage of silver by this govern
ment. whatever other nations may do
or not do. The international biInet-
alIist is no bimetaliist at all. He knows
that international bimetallism viii
never come until this country forces
it, and the only way that it can force il
is to adopt it itself. Any party that IA
yors international bimetallism in its
platform simply attempts to catch votes
by pretense OF loyalty to popular idea
which it despises. Gage sets the inan-
cisI pace of the administration and
gold is his god He came out of a gold
plated bank vault. and whoever expects
him TO clean the hole out of which he
was dug is absurdly foolish. There can
be no bimetallism while Gage is where
he is, not even If it were proposed TO
make the ratio one hundred to one. 1t
is not the ratio or the metal which men
like Gage oppose Their contention and
sole contention, whatever they may say
or do. is against an increase of our cir
culating medium, and it is monstrous
crime against the masses. We believe
that the presidents sympathies are
with the bimetallists. but he viii do
nothing under the influences that sur
round him.-Western Plowman.

Chatter Mortgages Increase.

The bureau of industrial statistics of
Nebraska has just completed the COM
pilation of the mortgage record of the
state for the last six months of 1897.
The total statement OF farm and city
mortgages is as follows: Farm-fIed,
5,673; value, $3.50. 1873; released. S,235;
value, 7.557,392. City-fled. 2,252; VAL
ne. S1,s90, $50; released, 1859: value,
$4,245,91s. Chattel-filed, 39,2G9: val
ne, So, AZ, PAP; released, 23,7SS:
value, ST.416.s75. Which shows a good
decrease both in the number and
amount of farm and city mortgages but
an alarming increase in the matter OF
chattel mortgages It may indicate
that the mortgages cover the farm
property so deeply that they can carry
TO more. We dislike to hear of chattel
mortgages, they so often mean the loss
of the last hold a man has on getting
on in the yTorld.-Western Rural.
