British Columbia threatens to
kick out of the Dominion of Can
ada traces. Since the exclusion of
the Chinese from the United States
they have focked into British Co.
lumbia and Vancouver Island, where
they make up IS per cent. of the
labor population and are increasing
by importation several hundred per
month. They have crowded the
white people out of all unskilled
labor, the fisheries and lumber
trades, and are encroaching on the
mines and railways. White people
out of employment are leaving for
the United States. The Legislature
enacted an exclusion law, but it
was not approved by the Canadian
Government, though the eastern
provinces of Canada are protected
by such law. The Legislature has
been called to re-enact the law and
carry the fight into the Canadian

WAIT.

The street railway employees are
fully organized in affiliation with a
national organization. They have
no petitions or grievances pending
with the street railway company,
and until they have organized labor
would do we'll to mind its own bust
ness. The street railway employees
know their business and what they
want, and until they ask the aid of
organized labor it is impertinent,
unjust and likely injurious to them
for others to interfere in their af-
fairs. Most certainly they should
be consulted before the business of
their employer is attacked, and no
legitimate labor organization will
do SO. But the +" don't-put-your-
nickel-in-the-slot Z" is not declared
by nor intended to benefit organized
labor; its object is to keep few in
dividuals afloat on the political sur
face in sight of the politicians in
the vain hope that they may drift
into something with the November
election.

ure other peoples corn by your
own bushel, and in the light of their
record in Washington and Elkhart
and during their brief career here,
the size and character of the bushel
of the News people in such business
is too well known for decent people
to give more than passing notice to
any insinuations they may make.

The New Era omits the Central
Labor Union from it's roll of labor
organizations, but places the United
Trades and Labor Assembly at the
top of list of all the labor organi-
cations, thus giving to the unin-
itiated the impression that the
United Trades and Labor Assembly
includes all labor organizations and
the New Era is the organ of all of
them. Cute trick.

Turn in any direction in the ef-
fort to keep up with the changes

future-in China, Alaska, Persia,
Japan-the British lion bumps up
against the Russian bear, except in
the Trahsvaal. and there he is like
ly to bump up against everybody
else, for the Transvaal question
seems to be loaded-for the British
lion. While only the British and
the Beers are doing the quarreling,
all the others are taking notes,
with their warships in easy reach.
The firing of the first gun in the
Transvaal may re-echo round the

MISS KATE O'NEAL DEAD.

Miss Kate O'Neal, one of Jefferson
ville's most highly respected young
women, died Tuesday evening at the res
idence of her father, Thomas O'Neal, 1928
West Front street, after lingering ILL
ness of consumption. Her death is sim
cerely mourned by all who had the good
fortune of her acquaintance. She is sur
vived bya sister and two brothers, her
mother and other sister being victims of
the disease that caused her death. Her
funeral occurred Thursday morning at
St. Augustine's church, and was one of
the largest seen this year in Jefferson
willie

THE FATE OF DREYFUs.

The heart of all the American
people, regardless of politics or re-
ligion, throbs with pity and beats
high with indignation at the treat
ment accorded the prisoner of
DEVILS Island. Very few persons
in this country had doubt about
his innocence at his first trial, but
with all the testimony and revela-
tions that have come to light since,
a wave of pity is sweeping over the
land.
To one who has looked at the
course of the case with impartial
eyes, it seems almost impossible
that the whole French nation should
have clamored for his conviction.
While there is great revulsion
now in his favor, there are still
many adherents of the army who
believe army honor" should be
sustained no matter what the cost
or who the victim. Even the
Judges are unsympathetic and
clearly against Dreyfus, and this
feeling is frequently shown during
the trial. But with the facts star
ing them in the face it would seem
almost impossible to convict. The
testimony of M. Bertillon, on which
the prosecution principally relied,
was thoroughly disproven and over
thrown.
1t is astonishing to Americans
that witnesses should be allowed,
in addition to giving their testi-
mony, to iterate and reiterate, II
am positive he is guilty." "Drey-
fus is the guilty man, there can be
no doubt of it," there is the guilty
person, and not be reproved by
the court.
The fourth week of the trial is
now on and the end is not in sight.
The wanton and unprovoked shoot
ing of Maitre Labor, the senior
counsel for the defense, seems to
have made telling point in Drey-
fus' favor. M. Labori's enforced
absence has made stronger if posi-
BILE his conduct of the case, and he
has scored many point for Drey-
fus and confuted many a witness.
1t is expected that even if the
former sentence of the court-martial
is not reversed Dreyfus will not be
returned to Isle Diable, but will
be pardoned by the President of
France.

NOW DONE FOR.

The "check" system, by which
employees are paid wages in checks
good only at stores of the employer,
that has caused so much hardship
and trouble among miners and mill
workers, and is all but abolished
except in the Southern States, is
about to receive its death blow from
an unexpected source. The United
States revenue law requires two
cent stamp on all checks and bills
of exchange, and thus far it has
been enforced only in banking,
brokerage and express business.
But the Revenue Department has
sustained the Collectors decision
and demand for 81 200 tax on store
checks issued to employees of the
Richland, S. c., cotton mills, hold
ing that these orders represent
value and are liable to the tax. The
mill company petitioned for hear
ing and the case is to be argued
before the United States Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue in Wash
ington. If finally sustained its
enforcement will kill the check sys-
tenn by bringing it under Federal
jurisdiction and surveillance, if not
by the burden of the tax.

The agricultural end industries
bill for Ireland has passed Parlia-

developing the trades and crafts.

The correspondence between the
Central Labor Union and the
United Trades and Labor Assembly
is given elsewhere and speaks for
itself. The letter of the Central
Labor Union is respectful and con-
ciliatory; the reply of the United
Trades and Labor Assembly is dis
courteous and acrimonious. While
this is to be regretted, it is we'll
that both have shown their hands.
