President Absorbs Interest.
The election of president is the all
absorbing topic of discussion. Mrs.
Alice Bailey, of Des Moines, president
of the Des Moines Woman's club, is
the most active candidate, but the Des
women feel that Mrs. Bailey ought to
devote her entire time to the work OF
her club. At caucus of Des Moines
delegates it was resolved to request
Mrs. Bailey to withdraw from the race
or resign as president of the Des
Moines club.
Mrs. Walker VS.. Mrs. Deemer.
The Des Moines delegation favors
the election of Mrs. Walker, a former
president of the Woman's club of that
city. The delegates from the clubs OF
southwestern Iowa are centering their
forces on Mrs. Deemer of Red Oak,
and the contest is becoming almost as
spirited as a political convention. The
Council Bluffs women are still talking
strongly OF putting forward Mrs. Wal
ter I. Smith or Miss Caroline L. Dodge.

man, it will be a civilization OF free
and enlightened men. EARLY 10 the
history OF California this civlizs.
tion was temporarily degraded by
the injection OF thousands OF Asiatic
coolies. This Asiatic taint implaut.
ed vices and habitudes upon our
Anglo-Ssxon system which are not
yet eradicated. 1t made many
forms OF labor seem to be ignoble,
1t filed our cities with hoodlums,
male and female. It turned many
OF our young men into opium fends
aud many Of our young women into
worse. 1t made them look upon
menial labor as beneath them. Who
ever sees a white California girl
scrubbing sidewalk, as you ses
white girls doug in New York aud
Boston' The very idea jars upon q
Californian. Yet you see Chinese
in this community engaged in that
and other occupations which are
menial aud yet not degrading
"The presence of these coolies
here brought about a condition
which rendered many forms Of
honest labor distasteful to young
white men and women. According
ly, the growth Of this exotic Asiatio
immigration was checked by tbs ex-
clusion laws. They have now been
enforced for twenty years in two
periods Of ten years. When the first
exclusion law was passed, in 1882, it
was passed in the face of the oppo.
siton of the richer class in the East.
The South was Indifferent. The
West was semi-indiffsrent, but in
clined to side with the Pacific Coast
The Republican party was divided.
The Democratic party was indiff.r.
ent, but decided that it was good
politics to favor exclusion. There.
fore the Republican party at once
concluded that it would be bad
politics to oppose exclusion. The
result was that an exclusion bill was
passed. Ten years later, in 1892,
another exclusion bill was passed,
with growing opposition to the bill.
Ia the E ,st the sentiment was still
stronger. against exclusion. In the
West the sentiment of opposition
to exclusion was weaker. The South
was still Indifferent"

Poor Baby.

It is said that never before has
there been such mighty stitching
going on at one time as at present in
Holland. Every woman Of the king.
dom appears to feel an absorbing
interest in the prospective baby who
will be heir to the Dutch throne,

tions which they are making to the
royal layette. Little dresses, gowns,
caps, skirts, sacks, ooverlets, pillows
everything imaginable in baby out
fitting-ars being made in elaborate
form, covered with beautiful lace
and embroidered and wrought with
wonderful needlewoik skill. The
women OF Amsterdam are not cou-
tent with mere needle. work. They
are to present Dutch bahy's cap of
linen, with the great ear lappets of
the national head-dress, but the
linen is to be sprinkled with costly
pearls and diamonds. The women
of the Dutch nobility will give a
cradle to the royal baby. 1t is to be
very gorgeous affair OF silver,
decorated with the arms OF Holland
and Mecklenburg Schwerip, while
at the head OF the cradle is a full
sized angel OF silver, and at the foot
silver baby OF equally life-like
proportions. From the women Of
The Hague will come the christen-
ing. robe OF white silk, with it's jewell
ed embroidery and eiderdown, and
its buttons OF diamonds, and the
wives OF the cabinet ministers are
making tie satin cushing upon
which the baby will be laid as soon
as born, so that, according to old
custom, it may be shown to the
cabinet ministers, and they may
certify that it is genuine prince or
princess.

California does not look very fav-
orable at the prospect, as can be
seen from the following editorial
article from the Argonaut. 1t reads
as follows:
"The unwise course of the labor
leaders in the recent strike will al
most inevitably bring about grave
changes in the industrial and social
condition OF California. This COM
munity ia an anomalous one. We
occupy q narrow zone on the west
err rim OF the American continent.
We are nothing but green strip
between the desert and the ocean.
We are cut off from our brothers of
the East by mighty mountain
ranges and vast plains of arid sand.
As Bishop Berkeley's inspired lines
would indicate, we are the outpost
Of Anglo Saxon civilization on the
West-it is here that the Occident
looks toward the Orient. But We
shall soon cease to be an outpost of
Anglo Saxon civilization. This
Coast. we fear, may soon become an
annex to Asiatic civilization.
"For twenty years this journal, in
common with other honest and in
telligent journals, has fought for
the preservation Of Anglo, Saxon in
stitutions on this Coast. We have
steadily maintained the right of
white American workingmen to live
here, and to bring up their families
here according to the institutions
and traditions OF Christian Auglo.
Saxon civilization. That civiliza.
tion mas sometimes been in danger,
for a civilization which rests upon
the workingman must share in his
characteristics. If he is a slave, it
will be a flaveholder's civilization ;
If he is semi.servile, it will be semi
seryile civilizations II be 10 . free.

The planters will of course be
jubilant, because more cheap slaves
will be imported aud bigger divid-
ends sent to Paris, Bremen and
Liverpool. The Hawaiians will see
another iphux of horde OF Chinese
males aud the "whits" business will
20 to the wall in few years. The
planters do not like the Porto
Ricans. They are under contract
to pay several more loads of that
class, and they would hail open
house for the Chinese with great
glee. There is ouly one aatisfaction
to US in Hawaii, and that is, that
when the present law is repealed
the Chinese eau move on to the
Mainland.

Washington, where he arranged TO prefer
charges against the officers Of the United
States training ship Santee at Annapolis.
Green alleges that his son Horace died
because of gross neglect. Horace Green
died on Dec. IA, the cause Of death be
ing pneumonia He was sick but two
days. 1t is alleged that he was hauled
ont Of his hammock and forced TO marcH
in the ranks, although he was unable TO
drill. On the morning Of the 14th he was
very sick and became delirious. An ex-
ira guard was stationed to watch him.
Notwithstanding the fact that he was not
expected to live, it is claimed, the deck
was washed down as usual. the stream OF
water being turned on and the floor scrub
bed while the young man lay raving and
dying in his hammock. He died before
midnight. 1t is further alleged that he
had no medical attention, that the food
furnished the seamen was unfit for a dog
to eat, that there was ne heat on the
berth deck and that the hatchways were
open, exposing the men, including the
sick one, TO cold draughts.

RoBs MAIL. OF 100000.
Pouch Containing Money and Negoti-
able Papers Is stolen.

The Michigan Central station at Wyan-
dotte, Mich, was the scene of bold rob-
berry the other night, when a mail pouch
containing 100000 in negotiable paper,
checks ana money was stolen from the
waiting room. Two sacks of mail and
pouch of second-cass matter were drop
ped on the platform by a south-bound
Michigan Central train at 1928 o'clock.
Night Operator Richert, it is supposed,
took the two bags into the waiting room.
About the time it was noticed at the SEA
ton that bag had been stolen two men
walked into the office of John Ford and
told of finding several letters and checks
scattered along the road. The entire
Office force then turned out and returned
with about $500 worth of checks and 9TH
er papers. A searching party also start
ed from the Michigan Central station.
The bag, it was found, had been cut with
sharp knife about a foot from the bot
tom and then torn The robSer evidently
was in search of money only. AT the oil
tank several hundred letters were found
that had been opesed and rified. Checks
and drafts were tossed about by the wind.
The robber evidently filed his pockets
with packages of mail, as be was traced
for two and half miles to a small room
