The discovery is said to have been made
by the Treasury department that the clause
of the recently enacted Chinese exclusion
law which continues in force the pre-
viously existing exclusion law, save where
it is not inconsistent with treaty obliga-
tions, has a meaning not generally att
tributed to it, and that after December S,
1904, it will practically let in Chinese the
same as if there were no exclusion law. 1t
admits immediately such Chinese as are
citizens or subjects OF countries other than
China. The question now is, did the law
fall or was it pushed?

ceive fair and honest compensation. No
charity, simply right. The thoughtful
American is in sympathy with the toiling
masses. The day OF promise is coming.
Educated labor cannot be defeated. The
day must come, for Labor has demanded
justice, and nothing else but justice will
answer the purpose. The eight hour day,
the weekly pay day, the coal barons truck
store and the saw mill obbersary'' must
go, and all labor must be paid in the coin
of the realm. The laborer will be better
man, truer citizen and more devoted
empioye to his employers interests, for he
will then know and feel that they are The
same.
Happy homes produce patriots and true
manhood and womanhood. Just compen-
sation for labor rendered will exchange
the howell and hut into cottage where
the beautiful sunlight of God will enter
and bring health and joy to the wife and
children of the toiler. and awaken within
him holer and loftier determination to
be a better man and truer citizen. The
true citizen cannot tura from this great
problem. He must meet it, and he should
do so honestly and fearlessly ''Charity''
has been curse to honest labor.

Noted politicians are very frequently re-
ferred to here of late as personally honest.
This seems to imply difference between
political and personal honesty. Genuine
honesty is a quality which manifests itself
under all conditions and circumstances. 1t
resorts to no chicanery or cunning for gain.
The fellow who would betray a public
trust would not hesitate to pick private
and the conditions appear favorable. Hon
esty cannot be graded.

The final determination of the anthracite
miners to make the strike perm lnent has
surprised every body in the coal trade, but
there is feeling that the coal operators
have been more or less responsible for
forcing a contest of this kind, feeling that
sooner or later contest of this kind was
inevitable, and that now was the most
favorable time for it's Inauguration.

THE CURSE OF LABOR.

Charity has become cruel word. 1t Is
used Unfortunately and on every occa-
sion when aid or succor is extended to the
unfortunate. No matter what are the
conditions that brought on the distress
the recipients are made to realize that
they are paupers and that they owe their
existence to the so-called charitable peo-
who is driven by dire distress to seek aid
is catechised and made relate the history
OF their life and that Of their family back
to the third or fourth generation. II they
show any signs of possessing self-respect
the so-called charity official does every
thing within his power to debase the un-
fortunate. The world is not cruel, but
certain class of people who, by hypocrisy
and cant, have secured the management OF
our so-called charitabl institutions, are
meaner than even his satanic majesty re-
quires them to be. Individually, they are
incapable of doing a generous deed, and
are servile and meek in the presence of
their superiors, but overbearng and auto
cratic to the poor and unfortunate.
Poverty is q bitter curse, but is not
urine, save IN the eye of certain class.
The United States should know no power
ty---every aims house, prison and peniten-
of the United States-the most bouutiful
land known TO man. Yet we fad crime
and poverty abundant, sQualid misery and
wretchedness lurking in every state, and
insane asylums growing in almost every
state like green bay trees. On the other
hand we see wealth that is unsurpassed,
millionaires and multi millionaires, yea
men possessing wealth beyond the dream
OF man. The inhumanity of this is awful.
The palace OF the millionaire and the hut
of the toier are OBJECT lessons.
Senator Mark Hanna is keen, shrewd
man and close observer of men and af-
fairs. He says that socialism is the great
evil that threatens our land, and that it
gathers it's strength and power from the
chasm that separates labor and capital.
he points out the fact that at Cleveland,
Ohio, his home town, Golden Rule"
Jones received majority over both the
republican and democratic candidates for
governor OF Ohio. He also points out the
tact that In certain cities Union Labor
has entered the political arena and de-
feated both Of the dominant parties.
The world is on the advance. Autocratic
power is fast becoming dream. Men
are learning to appreciate the pleasures OF
lite and liberty The thoughtful man re-
CARDS the soup house and other so-called
charitable institutions as relics Of barber

Jones and E. S. Martin, three up
to-date and monied men are now
partners, and have already bought
machinery capacitated to gin
twenty-five bales Of cotton a day;
and will soon commence the cree
ton of a commodious gin house in

all complete will cost $4,000 and
the machinery will be of the most

trio of gentlemen mean business;
they have the ''spon dulix" with
which business is done, and they
say our village has got to become
town of thousand or two.
While the incoming cotton crop is
being gathered this fall, Marina

J. w. Hunt died a few days ago
of very peculiar malady Drs.
Hubbard and Kendedy were called
to see him, but the disease had too
fast grip on him. 1t was i'm
possible to rally him. At the re-
quest Of his family post mortem
examination was made by the doc
tors called in. They found state
of things, and condition of mat
ters different from any they had
ever seen before and do not expect
to ever see again. The medical
books do not give any information
that could throw any light on the
disease. not giving single instance
of any person ever being examined
and found IN similar condition.
| can't use the technical terms
necessary to give true description
Of the mans system. But the
doctors say that those who saw and
know the actual status of Mr..
Hunts stomach and bowels, think
it more like a miricale that he lived
any time after it was set up, but
he did live several weeks with these
organs black as tar, as hard as
adamant, and otherwise very
wonderfully abnormal.
There was a good rain east of

lieves that if people will live right
