er Armond, in addition to being the
pastor of the Greek Catholic church at

parently sought to extenuate the crime.

Chinese immigration.

This is a question that has been
met by the government in the
past by exclusion legislation ex'
cept in limited numbers. and now
Congress has passed a bill ex-
cluding all Chinese, even stu
dents and temporary residents.
| It also excludes Chinese from our
island possessions and the Phil
ippine Commission is directed to
adopt measures to exclude hem
from the Philippines. American
ships are prohibited from hiring
them as sailors. This is all very
foolish, unjust and unwise legis-
lation. In view of the fact that
we food China with our people
and then want to fight her if she
does not protect them, no matter
how they behave toward that
country and people, andl want
them to keep open ports for entry
for all our trade, it is an act OF
great injustice. 1t is our opinion
and always has been that we
ought to admit Chinese freely
into this country, especially now
at the South where the negro
labor is becoming scarce and
more and more difficult to handle
year after year. We want cheap
labor to raise cotton and the
Chinaman will underworld any
race of people on earth and are
easily controlled, are industrious
and reliable. We have millions
of acres of land yet to come into
cultivation, woods to work up
and mines to develop and we want
cheap and reliable labor to do all
this with and make us one of the
wealthiest and most populous Sec
lions on earth. Sentiment for
labor is all very nice with the
altruist, but cuts little figure with
the farmer who wants to grow
crops and who is now at the |
mercy of dictatorial labor ele
ment. Let the patient, plodding. |
Mongolian come. We
can absorb millions of them in our
fields of toll. The billions OF
acres of lands idle and what we
have under cultivation can be
made to produce more than dou-
BILE present yield.

FOR THE PANAMA ROUTE.

The Spooner bill for the construc-
ton of the canal by the Panama route
which passed the senate by sucn an
overwhelming majority provides sub
sIantially, that the Panama route shall
be selected provided that the title be
found perfect by the President, and
that the republic of Colombia shall
make the concessions necessary in or
der to give the United States full con-
troll of the canal. The amendment Of
fered by Mr.. Mitchell, of Oregon, CIV
ing the President the choice of routes,
even if he could secure the title to
the Panama route, was laid on the ia
BILE by a decisive vote. The bill will
now go to the house with the prestige
of great majority of the senate in
its favor, and will probably be passed.
Thus will a very important meas
ure be disposed of that has been thor
oughly debated not only in congress
but throughout the country. The con-
struction of this canal will give to the
United States a commanding influence
on the two American continents, po-
tent enough to enforce the Monroe
doctrine and add to the security and
peace of the South American repub-
lies.
The decisive vote in the senate will
surely impress the most enthusiastic
advocates of the Nicaragua route that
there is no possibility that it may be
selected. If there is canal, it must
go to Panama.

ABANDONING FREE SILVER,

Those who read the platform adopt
ed by the recent Illinois democratic
convention will search in vain for any
reference to the free coinage of silver
or to Mr.. Bryan, the late democratic
candidate for president The demo
cratic state conventions already held,
the resolutions adopted, the express
sibns of the democratic press land
people, all point Enthusiastically to the
defeat of all free silver sentiment in
the next national convention. 1t is an
extraordinary state of affairs that a
platform so recently adopted by a
political party is so soon ignored, and
abandoned 1t indicates division of
the party into district factions and
the certain loss OF the radical free
silver element at the next presidential
election. There will no doubt be a
strong fight put up by free silver men
in Iowa to maintain supremacy, but
they are doomed to defeat. The selec-
ton of Mr.. Taylor as temporary chair
man of the state convention was an
important step in the programe. His
speech will be an index to the plat
form and his views already expressed,
indicate what the speech will be.

THE MUscATINE JOURNAL VILE
CELEBRATE.
(Muscatine Journal.l

The Journal is preparing to cele.
brate the most important anniversary
in its history. On the 18th of July.
John Mahin, editor of the Journal, will
lqonclude the 50th year in which he
has actively attended to the duties of
that position. There is not another
instance in all the details in the entire
country, which equals Mr.. Mahin's
record, editor of one paper continu-
ously for so years and not yet 10
years of age. On the 9Th of next De.
cember, Mr.. Mahin will reach his 69th
year. He became editor of the Mus
catine Journal on July II, 1852, when
he was but nineteen years old, having,
entered the same office as an appren.
tice five years previous.
The Journal is pardonably proud of
this event. 1t is the hope and plan to
celebrate 1t and mark it with special
edition of the paper Plans have been
under way for some time and many of

alton gets it's most marked emphasis
The disastrous effect of holding up the
anthracite production throughout the
summer can hardly be measured. But
both parties to the controversy appre
ciate that far more keenly than any
outsider possibly can.
Coming down to the division of the
country's coal output among the states
in 1901, we find that Pennsylvania
was, as usual, an easy 1eader-s2, 914,
$40 tons of bituminous in addition tt
her anthracite output, or considerabl,
over 150.000,000 tons in all, which is
more than one-half the product of the
entire country. Illinois stood second
Ohio third, West Virginia fourth, Ala
bama fifth, Indiana sixth, Colorado
seventh, Iowa eighth, Kentucky ninth
and Maryland tenth.
With Pennsylvania holding the COM
handing position that she does in the
coal industry of the United States, it /.
not to be wondered at that the entire
industrial and business world is watch
ing with the keenest interest every
smallest turn in the strike situation.
