The West is just now very


spreading all over the avenues OF
labor belonging by right 10
American citizens. 1t appears
that from forty to fifty thousand
coolies are expected within a
very short time; that thousands
of coolies are at present employ
ed on our western railroads, ana
that all of them are contract lab
orers coming into the United
States in spite of the pauper I'M
migration laws which are enforc'
ed rigidly on the Atlantic coast
in the case of the Caucasians.
The strange part of it is that
we have no exclusion treaty with
Japan as we have with China.
The japanese in their own coun-
try are the cheapest of all cheap
laborers, and they belong to that
vast horde of oriental fatallsts
amounting to nearly one-half OF
the entire population of the. globe
who earn little, live upon little
and are utterly destitute of all the
characteristics that go to make
up civilized man in the Anglo
Saxton or American sense. Earn
ing only from ten to twenty
cents per day, they have discov-
cred by peeping through the
infamous open door," that they
are entitled to more wages, and
so they are coming to the United
States in vast numbers to obtain
an increase of wages, which, by
reason of over-population, they
can never hope to obtain in their
own country. They are, more
over, like the Chinese, absolutely
unassimilable, not in harmony
with our civilization, and seek
only their own selfish interests.
They hoard, send home, and 9th
erwise withdraw from circula-
ton, the American money that
they take from the pockets of
the American laborer who spends
it here, and they are injecting
an element in our labor question,
which is assuming the gravest
importance.
Walking in their shadow
through the same disastrous open
door, recent reports from San
Francisco are to the effect that
thousands of the yellow scourge
are pouring in upon various sub
terfuges, principally that of edu-
cational' facilities. who are under
contract with the Six Companies,
and their American aiders an6
abettors. This is the result Of
the pretended, shrewd diplomacy
of an American Secretary Of
State following the dictates Of
the Mckinley administration anG
the evil Vaccinations which goac
it into action. We propose tc
benevolently assimilate these
foreign degenerate hordes, anc
send them back to their orienta
homes with we'll filled purses
while our own American work
ingmen suffer for bread. 1t i:
the policy of the trusts, whose
policy is that of the Republican
party. 1t is an aggravation t.
our manufacturing, industrial
combines, to have American
workingmen strike for higher
wages. 1t disturbs their circula
ton, reduces the enormity O
their dividends, and so, to cure
the evils pretended to be infict
ed upon the trusts by the work
ingmen of the nation who ar,
ground down to a mere exist
ence, without ever being able tc
accumulate a surplus, chear
labor is being introduced as +;
sure remedy. Are we willing Il
throw open our gates to a TEEN
ing population of scavenger:
numbering six hundred million,
of orientals E?

ALCOHOL BARREL EXPLODED
And Startled Chapel Street Pedestrian
 Yesterday Afternoon

And Startled Chapel Street Pedestrians
 Yesterday Afternoon.
 Yesterday afternoon about 3:30 loud report like that of a bomb coming from the direction of Union street startled the crowds on Chapel street in the neighborhood of State and Chapel and Union streets Patrolmen Dargan, T. Powers and Cannon sprnted over in the direction from which the report sounded, closely followed by crowd of several hundred people. Investigation disclosed the fact that an alcohol bar rel had exploded The barrel was in the store of J. H. Frost, dealer in bar bers supplies on Union street, and had been rolled out on the sidewalk to. be carted away. MT. Frost's son thought that there was a little alcohol in the barrel and lighted match which he held to the bung hole, thinking that he could determine in this way whether the barrel was empty. He did deter mine and in way that raised his hair and scared him so that he will probably never again pursue the same method to, ascertain whether or not an alcohol barrel is empty.
 No sooner had the lighted match been placed at the bung hole than tongue of flame leaped out of the hole binding young Frost. A loud explosion fol- lowed and portions of the barrel went flying in every direction. Strange to say tbe boy was not injured beyond having his eye brows and hair singed and receiving slight burns about the hands and face. The flames of the al- cohol became ignited by the match and being confined in the barrel produced the explosion.

 George w. Hinman, son of the late Captain E. s. Hinman, formerly of Nor folk, Conn, died a few days ago at Evansville, Ind, aged sixty eight years. The Evansville Journal says: His na- tive state was Connecticut, but he had lived in Evansville for the past twenty five years, where he was employed as bridge superintendent by the Louisville and Nashville. He was perhaps the most efficient bridge overseer in the country, and his ability as such was recognized by railroad men everywhere. He was charter member of the Rail- road Bridgemen's association, and was prominently identified with it up to the time of his death. A few days ago two of the national directors of the associa- ton came to Evansville to see him, but he was unable to recognize them The deceased leaves a wifa. but no children. He also leaves four sisters, one of whom is Miss Anna Hinman of Ohio, who attended the funeral. The remote cause of the death of MT. Hinman was an injury which he received in rail- road accident several years ago. He suffered slight hemorrhage of the. brain at the time and his spine was se- verely injured"

 Miss Carrie M. Banks, corresponding secretary of Putnam Hill chapter says:
 The boulder has already been nut in position, but the inscription will rot be placed upon it until three days before the unveiling. The boulder is of beau- tiful pink granite quarried especially for the purpose, from the quarry in Westerly, famous for its handsome granite, and weighs about nine tons.
 The corresponding secretary, also a member of the committee for marking the hill, wrote to His Excellency, the Governor of Connecticut, inviting him to write the inscription for the bronze tablet to be placed on the boulder. A most kind letter was received in reply, in which the governor said that to write such an inscription as was re- 1uired was mot matter of labor, but one of inspiration" and that he would come to Greenwich and view that his wonderful spot, where that famous and world-renowned deed was enacted, would inspire him, and behold! "Veni, yidi, vici." He came he saw, he con luered, or, in other words, he was in- Iced inspired and has written such an inscription as probably the world has never produced. It Is terse and brief, md still everything is there-the time, he place, the entire situation--all the | circumstances; all the dramatic per jonae; nothing has been forgotten and | 'hapter feels very grateful to the gov rnor for so kindly accedlng to their | and regard the inscription IS In fact 1t is work of art | n it's way.

Fourth in the list of churches comes the Lutheran. It has twenty sub-divi- siOns, and contains more than a million and a half members as does the Pres byterian Church, with it's twelve bodies. The Disciples of Christ are sixth with eleven hundred thousand, and the Epis- copalians seventh with 699, ,5S2, The lat ter have drawn away in recent years from the Congregationallsts who now number 62S,234. The growth of the Epis copalians has been about twenty thou sand during the year. while the Puritan churches have gained only little more than two thousand The Christian Sci entists are credited with an increase of ten thousand, bringing their total up to eighty thousand. The Unitarians have stood still at seventy-five thousand and the Universalists have gone back from 4S,29S to 46, 522.

1CTIVE OPERATIONS.

Active hostilities have been resumed in South Africa and some of the ac- tivity is intense and deadly. Two or three small successes by the Boers are reported, and the latest from Lady smith makes it evident that there has been serious fight there. Just what has happened does not now appear, al- though there is a rumor from Frere camp that General White defeated the Boers Saturday afternoon and took four hundred prisoners. There is trust- worthy news that in the forenoon he beat the enemy off, and was expecting another attack. He was again attacked in the afternoon and let General Butler know that he was hard pressed. Then no more signals could be sent and the only news was the camp rumor aforementioned
 The indications are that the fighting will be frequent and severe now until Ladysmith is either captured or re- lieved. It is evident that the English are having hard time of it. A decis- i've and important victory at this juno ture is very much needed by them, both for it's effect on the ,Boers and for it's effect on public opinion.

TYyIr CHTRCHES.

Those who have got into the habit of
 tian life or growth in the United States will be astonished by the facts set forth
 in the Independent, which makes a yearly report of the strength of the churches. It appears that the approxi- mate membership of all the churches of the country at present is 27,710,004
 against 27601, ,241 a year ago and 25,706,- 430 two years ago. This seems a dis couraging showing, but when we look back over the decade we find that there has been a gain of more than seven mil | lions since 1890. That is an increase approximately much larger than the increase in the population. Put in an- other way, the churches have gained thirty-four per cent. in membership since the census year, while the popula- ton has increased little, if any, more than twenty per cent.
 The Methodist bodies are still at the head of the list of Protestant denomi- nations numerically considered They number seventeen in all, and have 5,S09,- 516 communicants, against 5,776,465 a year ago. Among the sects into which they are separated are: Methodist Epis- copal, Union American Methodist Epis- copal, African Methodist Episcopal, Af- rican Union Methodist Episcopal, Afri- can Methodist Episcopal Zion, Metho- dist Protestant, Wesleyan Methodist, Methodist Episcopal South, Congrega- tional Methodist, New Congregational Methodist, Zion Union Apostolic and h. dependent Methodist Similarly the Baptists, who stand next in numbers, having 1, LAB sos members, against 954 427 a year ago. are divided into various small bodies. There are the Regular North, Regular South, Regular Coored, Principle, Seventh-Day, Freewill, Original Freewill, General, Separate, United Baptist Church of Christ, Prim- itive and Old-Two- Seed in the-Spirit- Professionalism. The Roman Catholics number more communicants than either the Methodists or Baptists. They re- port S,421, ,3O1 or 43,173 more than a year ago. In the decade since 1890 they have gained 2,1S9,SS4, or slightly more in pro- portion than the increase of the church. es taken as a whole.

onto the bench who was constitutional ly better fitted for the bar and that oftentimes such lawyers constitutional bias was toward corporations. Judges of this sort are unconsciously apt to disregard mountains of evidence in fav- or of private individuals and seize up- on scintillas of evidence the other way to decide for corporations and to turn the private party into an anarchist or socialist.
 In New Jersey, recently one of these judges gave q father, suing a railroad for killing his little girl, one dollar and costs. and intimated that children are worth nothing in money, but were gen. erally an expense and that if justice were to be done the father would be compelled to pay benefits to the rail- road.
 Other states have creatures of this sort roasting on the bench who are more liberal and can crowd themselves up to ten dollars and costs.
