The house spent the day discussing
the jacobson bill to increase the gross
earnings tax on railroads. The ma
jority report of the committee recon-
mended that the measure be referred
to the tax commission, but minor
ity report favored Immediate action.
The measure was finally placed on
the calendar. During the course Of
the debate Mr.. Jacobson caused a SEN
sation by alleging bribery on the part
of the opponents of the bill. A COM
mittee was named to Investigate the
charges.
In the senate the board of control
bill was discussed at length. So many
amendments were offered that kpe-
cial committee was named to straight
en- matters out and report the bill and
amendments in tangible form. A bill
making the divorce laws more strin-
gent was passed. The senate adjourn
ed early as a mark of respect for
Chaplain Lewis, who died during the
day.
Thursday, March 81.
The senate passed two antitrust
bills-SenatOr Days very stringent
and farreaching measure and that of
Senator J. D. Jones, which extends
the provisions of the present anti
trust laws to corporations organized
before it's passage. The bill reducing
the interest on debts for state lands
from 5 to per cent was also passed.
Rev. H. A. Chouinnard was elected
chaplain to succeed the late W. w.
Lewis.
The Halvorson anti-cigarette bill
passed the house-72 to 80. 1t now
goes to the governor. The railroad
gross earnings tax bill was laid on the
table after hard fight and a commit

Chiffon ParnaOIa.

The ordinary chiffon parasols are
fiounced I'm every conceivable pattern.
Often all founces except the outer one
are applied In points or scallops' the
bizarre effect being further enhanced
by the application Of black edgings Of
lace or chiffon rucl.ings. Some of the
shades are nounced and then decorated
with appliqued centerpieccs In lace or
colors The lace cover over colors Is
popular with those who can AFFORD IT,.
Provided the lace is Of good quality Il
looks quite WELL but the ordinary cheap
limitations are an abomlnatiOn. All
over embroidcries applied on chiffon
produce handsome effects says the

gold Is n fashionable combination for

popularity is waning. Red has too

The prctticst decoration for the hair
at the present time seems TO be pearls,
strings Of which are twisted neatly
and artistically amid its coils. The
effect is particularly pleasing when
the wearer has dark hair and Is pos
sessed of n good complexion, says
Home Notes.
Though this form Of decoration for
evening dress is spoken OF as a novelty,
It Is In reality a very old fashion, rs
may be easily proved by n glance at a
book of beauty or an inspection of the
portraits Of our ancestresses.
BY the bye, the pearls need not be
real Indeed. 1t would be far better
that they should not be so, as contact
with the hair would be likely to destroy

BrO,ynfnR's bulldog.

A new story Of the poet Browning
relates that at one time he had been
given a pure bloOded bulldog Of a
rare strain, Of so fierce a disposition
and so devoted to the poets mother
that it was unsafe for stranger TO
shake hands with her in his presence.
Browning himself was the only other
person whom the dog would allow to
touch him, but even when the poet was
more familiar with his mother than
the dog thought right he showed his
teeth to him. They one day put him
to a severe test, Browning putting his
arm around his mothers neck as they
sat side by side at the table. The dog
went round behind them and, putting
his feet upon the chair, lifted Brown
ing's arm off her shoulder with his
nose, giving an intimatiOn that he
would not permit any liberty of that
kind even from him.

UNION AND ORIENTAL.

Whatever may be the future of the
Hawaiian Amalgamated Confederati ton
of Labor, 1t may be taken for granted
now that 1t never viii accomplish the
impossible feat of gathering under one
banner the intelligent, able and edu-
Gated American and the plodding
Oriental. For generation 1t has been
the proud boast that the American
workman has been the superior Of the
man in similar employment in any
country in the world He is better edu-
Gated, better equipped in the matter of
his home and food, better cared for in
the matter of the arrangements of his
factory and mill, and he has shown
that he is of higher mind in endeavor-
ing to better himself at all oppor-
tunities. Not city in the country but
can show manager or proprietor of
some vast work who knows it from the
foundation, as he once worked there
himself. So in his unions the American
has held himself aloof from the man
who has no thought above his daily
toll.
What tie then should bind him to
the Oriental, who is the Man with the
Hoe of today, who labors with no hope
for better things, and who in conse-
quence brings to his task none of that
higher form of endeavorl that the
American has made his own. From the
first time that a labor union had it's
members in competition, or at least in
daily contact, with the Oriental work.
man there has been an antipathy which
twenty years ago resulted in the pas
sage of the Geary exclusion law, and
has kept 1t in operation ever since
1t Is idle to think that the union men
| of this city will permit themselves to
enter into utilization with the plantation
workers. They are not anxious to de-
grade labor, but they will not permit
| themselves to come to the plane of the
unskilled workman and put themselves
In his hands for direction. This much
! Is sure and the next step is to find the
men behind the alleged Confederation.
That It's head has been here three
months is not enough to give it a firm
standing. There must be shown some
sort of support from the men whose
lives have been given to their belief in
the efficacy of union
What then is the purpose of the or
ganizers who are going about in the
name or the new confederation. and
what Is it costing the men in the fields
and again what will they get for their
money? They will gain some exper.
1ence 1t is true, but will the lesson be
worth the cost? VIII there be sufficient
strength gained by these organizers to
dictate terms to the plantation man
ayers as the head of the organization
threatened? Will the organization at
tain any permanency? These are ques-
lions which appeal to every one whose
interests are those of the leading in
fdustry, and they must be answered by
experience alone
