It seems to be the same the world over, this clash among the different nationalities. In San Francisco at the present time 1t is the Jap that is the cause of the trouble. In the Transvaal in South Africa an ordi- nance has just been passed to exclude Asiatics from engaging in business there under certain conditions. which has not yet received the royal assent, and much anxiety is shown in the Transvaal over the subject, accord ing to the British and South African Export Gazette. This journal says:
 Tt is matter of commercial life and death to the white man in South Africa that certain class of cooly traders should be either barred 'en- trance or at least legislated into such a position as to be compelled to con- pete on even terms; and the Trans vaal ordinance, while aiming to achieve this object, also gives firm title and increased privileges to Asiatics already entitled to reside in the colony. How unanimous South African feeling is on this subject is sufficiently demonstrated by the re- cent passage of the general dealers bill in the Cape Colony, and the for mutation of new bill in Natal to prevent the issue of traders H. cense to anybody who is not regis tered on the parliamentary voting roll, measure which would effectu- ally kill cooly and alien competition"

 Reed Shoots expulsion from his seat In the senate Is to be urged next week by Senator Burrows. chairman of the committee that has been investigating the matter. To deprive man of his seat in the sen ate because of his religious belief will be gross outrage on him and his constituents and at the same time a dangerous innoyation.--Bridgeport l Farmer.
 If we had our way there would be no legal hangings at all, but if any l man on Gods earth deserves to be hung it's the man who wins the love of woman. betrays her and then l deserts her--leayes her to bear her shame. her heart agony alone.

New London has found that consolidation has been of the greatest benefit, still our town and city lines were the same. Perhaps if the city comprised a very small portion of the town the problem would not have worked out so well. New London Day.

LONG RIDE TO COLLECT TAX.
Corporal of Northwestern Mounted
 Police Crosses Arctic Wastes.

In order that the government might not lose the few dollars 1t would receive from customs dues Corporal Seller of the Northwestern mounted police made a 9s5 mile trip through Arctic wastes and success fully accomplished Journey which many an explorer would be proud of, Seller was stationed at Fullerton, lon the west coast of Hudson bay. He heard from natives that the Scotch ship Ernest William had put in fur ther north and intended to trade with the natives. He decided at once that it was his duty to see that the ship and captain paid the dues re- quired by the government regula- tions.
 Accompanied by Interpreter Ford and an EsQuimau guide Seller set out on his long trip, which occupied two months. Intensely cold weather was encountered and many blizzardB, but the only casualty was the death of one dog of their team of ten.
 For two days both men and dogs were short of rations, and had they not opportunely fallen in with party of natives would have been In desperate straits. For part of the tourney the food had to be eaten frozen and raw, as alcohol and wood gave out.
 The courageous policeman kept . diary from which these extracts are I taken:
 "very cold day. Had both feet frozen"
 Terrible snowstorm. Must find natives to get food, but cannot stir while storm lasts. Our dogs have had nothing for three days, and can- not possible spare them anything from our scanty store"
 Another bad storm. Sent Ford end Esquimau out to look for na- tives. They found some who told them that the place where the ship was is called Melachuseetuck, the place where ghosts chase women"
 At the end of two months the little party reached "the place" where ghosts chase women. and received q hearty Scotch welcome from the cap- tain of the ship, who pad his gov | ernment dues and outfitted the cor poraI for his return journey.
 Seller receives si.5o a day.

THOMAS STAYS IN PRISON.
Supreme Court Rules Against Him on
Appeal in Murder Trial.

Des Moines.-That Charles Thomas,
convicted of the notorious Mabel
Schofield murder, must serve his life
sentence in the penitentiary is the rul-
ing of the Iowa supreme court, which
has handed down its decision affirm
ing the ruling of the lower court.
Each of the numerous points raised
by the attorneys for the defense was
overruled, the court summing up its
finding in the following words:
Our full duty is discharged and
justice is administered in accordance
with our system of law. which grants
to defendant the right of jury trial
and the right to have every doubt
resolved in it's favor, when we affirm
the judgment of conviction based on
the verdict of jury after finding that
he has had fair trial to an impartial
jury, that the verdict of the jury has
support in the evidence, and that nc
error of law to his prejudice has beer
committed during the trial.
I'VE are fully satisfied that defend
ant has had fair trial, that there i.
ample evidence to support the verdic
and that no prejudicial error was com
mitted by the trial court and convic
ton is therefore affirmed"

CHURCH CASE IN COURT.
Suit of Unusual Interest Is Filed at
Webster City.

Webster City.
Webster City.-A case of unusual
interest to Catholics all over Iowa has
been filed in this city. 1t is entitled
c. j. Sherman, John Handfelt ct al VS..
Archbishop John j. Keane, Franc w.
Altman and Peter Kiene, all the de-
tendants of Dubuque. The action is
brought against them for Judgment in
the sum of S3,o65.9S. The case in
wolves subscriptions made by the
plaintiffs toward the erection of a
Catholic church and parsonage at Will
liams.
Because the terms of the contract
under which the subscriptions we're
brought for the recovery Of the money
subscribed. The district court in this
city decided in favor of the plaintiffs
and an appeal was taken by Arch
bishop Keane to the supreme court
Pending tie trial on appeal, Arch
bishop Keane and two other defend
ants named, filed bond in the court
here to insure payment of the judg-
ment in case the supreme court af-
Armed the decision of the lower court.
The finding was finally affirmed and
the present action is brought upon
the bond to force fulfillment of the

The case involves long story anu

destroyed some years ago by cy-
clone, and a subscription paper was
circulated to obtain money to erect
another church as well as a parson-
age. This was under the regime of
the late Archbishop Hennessy. In
Williams are number of German
speaking people and Messrs, Sherman,
Handfelt and others agreed to contrib
ute toward the erection of the new
church and parsonage upon the ex-
press understanding with the arch
bishop that priest be sent to the
parish who spoke both English and
German. This he failed to do and
soon after the erection of the church
property Archbishop Hennessy died
and was succeeded by the present
archbishop, Keane.
The latter, too, refused to carry out
the agreement with the German Cath
olics of Williams. Both Hennessy
and Keane based their refusal upon
the grounds that the best interests OF
the church would be conserved IL the
Williams priest spoke only English.
Things ran along some time with
nothing more than protests from
Messrs. Sherman, Handfelt and 9TH
ers. Finally. however, when it be-
came evident the archbishop would
, not change his mind, they brought
action upon the agreement under
which their subscriptions were taken.
There were fourteen of the plaintiffs
and they won in both the lower and
higher courts. The amount of their
original judgment was but $2,43O.1O,
but costs and interest have run it up
to $3,065.9s. .,

CASEY LAWYER SUICIDES.
Hangs Himself In savery Hotel at
Des Moines.

Des Moines.-Charles D. McMullen,
young lawyer of Casey. Iowa. and
former Drake student. committed sui
eide by hanging himself in his room
at the Slavery house. After repeated
efforts to awaken Mr.. McMullen in his
room it was thought best to break
down the door. The man was found
hanging to steam pipe. He had APP
parently been dead ten hours. Mr..
McMullen had evidently tried to kill
himself by slashing his throat, as
there were two large gashes and there
had been some loss of blood. No
cause is known for the suicide.
