EXCESSIVE sTRINGENCY.

It Is all right. of course, to have stringent immigration laws. else our country would be the favorite dumping the earth. It has been thought wise and prudent. in view of tho immense population of China. and of the undesi- rable character of much of that popu- lation. to be particularly strict about admitting Chinese, for if our doors were thrown open to them there would be hardly limit to their numbers. and the much discussed yellow peril would be a tangible reality. Still. the follow ing incident given by The Boston Her aid looks like going to extremes:
 Four persons. three brothers and a sister, members of one of the best fam of the province of Shanghai, and also provided with passports and letter of introduction from ex-Ambassador Choate. were not allowed to land with kept fin the Ivernia all night. were pho- tographed and obliged to furnish a dressed as Europeans. and they are all well educated and cultivated used to moving fin the best society. What an impression they must have been given
 
 returning to China. be inclined to favor American business men and American rivals who have no such absurd exclu sion laws? We fear there can be but one aEswer. Attention has now been called to the results of strict enforce ment of the rigid Chinese exclusion laws; does any one think that according and ladies will be of assistance to us in building up larger export trade to China?
 There has been no little discussion of late on the subject of China boycottlng American goods in retaliation for our exclusion laws, but Mir. Conger. x-Min- ister to China, says there Is no danger of such a boycott. because, ho says, our exclusion laws affect only the coolies. and that "the merchants were too high caste to care anything about them" We suppose he will hardly claim that the case above quoted affects only the coolies." nor will he deny that such in cidents are hurtful to our trade.
 We repeat that it Is we'll to have laws which will keep out the dregs and criminals of Europe and Asia, but it does seem that there might be some way by which the strings could be loos- ed a little in such cases as this one No doubt Uncle Sam would burst a blood vessel, If high class Americans should receive such treatment at the hands of l any Christian nation.

MAY BE A FARCE.

We are wholly unable to see what can gained or what is expected to be gained, by calling an extra session of Congress to meet only three weeks be- fore the regular session. A short while ago the President very positively an- nounced that the two tHouses would be called in extra session on October 16, but the leaders of his Party got around him and convinced him that 1t would be bad policy, bad politics and several other bad things to call the extra ses- sion at that time. so he has postponed the meeting to November 1S.
 That would only give the two houses about three weeks, even If they should hold till the regular session begins, and that they will not do. They have had one discouraging experience with Constructive recess" and will not risk losing their mileage again in the same way. They will be certain to adjourn a few days before the beginning of the regular session, so as to give them time to go home and return and thus secure the mileage.
 And in our judgment the President can have little to expect from such session. Many of the members are op- posed to 1t and resent being called to- Rether at that time. They will be sulky and contrary. and will be little disposed to get down to any serious work which most of them will believe could as we'll be attended to at the regular session. It may be that the President will be induced not to call an extra session. but if he sticks to it, we predict that 1t will be farce.

A Lnhor un,on,s Mistake

lnQlandppllS CldT.
 The action of the plumbers union at Springfield, H., has brought to public notice again the question of whether a man can serve his country and his union at the same time. This union has served notice upon Captain Thom- as Waltz that he must resign his com mission in the State militia or suffer expulsion from the union and conse- quent refusal of union men to work in the same shop with him. This sama question came to the surface at one or two spots in Indiana at the time the militia was called out by Governor Durbin to quell the Evansville mob. but union leaders in the State put a stop to the folly.
 ing the statutes to see If thoreSis not some law that will reach the union or its members for this effort to force the resignation of member of the militia. It does not seem to ps <that there should be need of such law; If there is any loyal public opinion in Spring. field, it will surely fall with such union as to disrupt 1t. When any or ganization, be 1t labor union, secret society or what not sets itself up in soidiery, which is now and has been from the beginning the very strongest bulwark of our liberty, 1t is nigh time that .organdizattion5s m, members Tai were abhorrent to the American spirit.
 The people of the United States do not propose to suffer either anarchy or military despOtism. They do pro pose to preserve-order, peace and lib- erty, and for this purpose their most ef- fective instrument is the citlz 4n sol diery, which stands ready to enforce law and order at the cali of the off, cials to whom the people nave dele gated the duties of govefnment It is not possible that union men generally share the sentiments of this plumbers union of Springfield; it would be an unhappy day. for the growth of union ism If they did.

WEDNESDAY,. JUNE ,. 1905.
AFRAID nr THE HOLE.
AFRAID OF THE HOLE. The Norfolk Landmark has recovered its breath sufficiently to remark:

Elsewhere we reprint the comment of The Montgomery Advertiser on our exultation over the scotching of a scheme to bore a scientific hole twelve miles into the earths surface. Our Alabama contemporary, with. an. air of superiority like thSt affected by the professors of the University of Martin fque when they assured the inhabitants of St. Pierre that there was no danger from Mt. Pelee. declares that 1t sees TO reason to be alarmed at the boring of that or any other hole in the ground and urges that we permit the scientists to run their augurs all the way through the earth if they wish.
 Ignorance Is often the cause of fear lessness. We should like to ask The Montgomery Advertiser where 1t thinks the volcanoes of the world get their fire and steam and lava and poisonous gases. The wayfaring man, though he be a fool. can see that these materials come from the interior of the earth. We suppose that proposition may be re- garded as established. even in Alabama. Now. ia The Advertiser prepared to say that none of these subterranean fnr- naces or boilers would be tapped by the proposed scientific hole? Go to! There pinning of Pelee, Popocatapetl, Vesu- vius. and the rest of the safety valves Let we'll enough alone.
 That is the genuine Landmarkian. If not real Old Virginian. way of seeing things. Why should we know or care where the volcanoes get their ammuni- tion? A little hole fifteen miles deep might turn loose small spout of con- centrated hotness, but the hole isn't go- ing to be bored near Norfolk, so our skittish contemporary Is in no danger. Almost any other advanced newspaper would rejoice to have 1t within the city limits, and would advise the city to give 1t the ri ght of way. It would be a big advertisement for the town. Maybe The Landmark is casting cold water on the proposition because the hole is to be somewhere else.
 But whatever may be the ground of our contemporary's opposition we doubt if it's objections will find any support. This Is a day of advance, and progress and get-there, and while some arc try ing to initiate the birds and fishes. let others build a hole as deep as their au- gurs will reach and see if they don't find things. A molar or horn from a dozen miles below the surface might put the scientists on a new scent and enable them to build a lot of theories that would be new and perplexing. Let 'em bore.

Warm Weather Helps.
Get Rid of Your Catarrh by Using
 HyOmei Now.

Everyone who has catarrh should take advantage of the warm weather to get rid of this annoying and dis dressing disease. The right treat ment, faithfully followed, in May or June, will benefit much more quickly than in the Winter and early Spring.
 Do not try to cure catarrh of the head and throat by taking drugs in- to the stomach. It cannot be cured in that manner. The only way in which this too common disease can be cured is through a direct application of Hyomei that will kill the germs of catarrh and prevent their growth.
 The first days use of Hyomei will show a decided improvement. and in a short time. especially if used at this season of the year, there will be no further trouble from catarrh.
 You take no risk in buying HyomeI. The complete outht costs but one dol lar. and if after using you can say that the treatment has not helped you, E. c. Fowler will return your moneH

Desperate Street Fight Occurs fl
 IOufaytIla

Louisville. Ky, June GA desperate street fight took place today on Mad ison Street near Eighteenth in which three white men were badly slashed with knives by five negroes. The in- jured men are: Michael Hawkins George Showers and Peter OConnor.
 All the negroes escaped except one. A number of children from the Seventeenth Street school were passing just as the battle was at its height and one of them was struck in the thigh with a brick and injured.
 The trouble seems to have been pre- cipitated by the action of q gang of negroes in jumping on an ice wagon and throwing off Jumps of ice. Finally Hawkins. the driver stopped the wag- on and came toward the negroes with pair of ice hooks in his hand and ordered them to get off. As he came forward George Self. a negro, whipped out knife and buried it deep in flaw klns's' back. Other negroes armed with knives attacked Showers and o'Connor. who came to the reaenA

DISSOLUTION INEVITABLE.
Norway and Sweden to Go Their sepa.
 rate Ways.


 Copenhagen, June 6.-The Christiana correspondent of The National Tiden says Tt is the general opinion that a dissolution between Norway and Swe- den Is now inevitable but that it can not occur without removing or sus- pending the existing Norwegian regal power.
 Before the end of this week the Storthing will have adopted resolutions which from the instant they come in force will mean the dethronement of the king.
 The Norwegians maintain that the king,b not revOking his veto given at Stockholm of the law for separate con sular representation and partly by his absence from Norway. has suspended his rights and duties as king of Nor way.
 Under article XIII of the constitu- tion, the Storthing will install a re- sponsible government which in the ab- sence of the king will govern in the kings name.
 Modification of eventual changes in the constitutional situation will proba- bly be given to the powers by special mission"

It sounds a little odd to refer to Ok lahoma as cotton region, yet one county in that Territory raised a crop of 100000 bales last season. Some of the real cotton States would be proud of such a county and The Guthrie Leader tells of a man who has already market ed one hundred dollars worth of straw berries from a patch of only one-third of an acre. That's some berries, also.

yuiae Jones Reminiscent.

Just forty years ago." said Judge Thomas G. Jones, as he reclined Tn an easy chair in his office in the Feoerai building and sought few moments rest from his arduous court duties, a big black cigar wreathing his face in fragrant smoke, just forty. years ago I returned to my home in Montgomery from the battlefields of Virginia. ''how time fies' I rode a horse from Virginia to Montgomery-the reiIroads in this country were torn ana de- stroyed-and never witnessed more desolate scene than that at Alanta, now the metropolis of Georgia. Not more than three houses had been left standing in the town.
 "I recall that when I reached Three Mile Creek on the Mount Meigs road, happy in the thought of soon being with my folks at home, l was halted by Federal soldiers who were 1n charge of Montgomery. It was about dark and I was informed that l could not come into the city until the fol- lowing morning. I turned back and went across the country, reaching the city by way of the Hayneville road. slept at home that night.
 Judge Jones was an officer on the staff of General John B. Gordon; He said yesterday that he was almost daily in receipt of letters from histo- rians inquiring about the surrender at Appomattox. Judge Jones was one klf the numerous staff officers who boro flags of truce on that historic day.
