where they have been steadily growing
in numbers for many years. Failing to
get any satisfaction from the Pana-
manian government the Chinese re-
public has appealed to Washington for
help and holds that the United States

The new laws come pretty close to
taxing anything Chinaman in Pana-
ma does. The Chinese merchants claim
that they pay nearly 70 percent of the
import customs duties of the country
yet, under the new law, their chamber
OF commerce here is to be taxed $1,000
gold month which will drive it out Of
existence.
The social and religious organiZa-
lions are heavily taxed, the Chinese
stores are restricted as to the class OF
goods they may sell, the members of
the race are required to register FREE
quently- and pay fee each time-and
other restrictions are placed upon
their every move.
The Chinese claim that this is in di.
rect violation of tie Panamanian con-
stitution which guarantees equal rights
to the citizens of all nations. They al

ter Dodge. acting on instructions from
Washington, appealed to the Panama
government he was promised that the
laws would be made less drastic, but
the matter was then allowed to rest
The laws of Panama do not permit
of a test of the constitutionality of any
new law unless the president and HIS
cabinet disagrees on that law. There
has been no disagreement on the Chin

The Chinese of Panama and of Cen

political affairs Of the nations and
their dollars have done much to put

Fnese merchants of Panama ranks very
high with the wholesalers of the Unit

SWISS GUARDS
MUTINY AGAIN
Twice in One Week Have the vati-

Do Their Duty.

ROME, July 1s.-For the second
time within a week the famous Swiss
guards, attached to the vatican, multi
MED today. The cause of the out
break is their objection to the rigid
military discipline imposed by Cap
tain Glasson, who is in temporary
command of the guards.
Colonel Repond, an uncle of Cap
tain Glasson is regularly in command
of the vatican guard, but was recent
~ married and is now spending his
honeymoon in switzerland. The
guards openly mutinied against the
domination of Captain Glasson today
and notified Cardinal Merry de Val
that they would not go on duty of any
sort, until he consented to the remov,
al of Glasson from command, pending
Colonel Responds return.

Iowa has been accused of any i'm,
proper conduct of any kind.
In 1872 there was a great hue and
cry about the Credit Mobilier stock
Public men were denounced for own
ing stock in that corporation. People
generally believed that the stock was
corrupted by railroad holdings; sim
ply because some persons said so.
Investigation disclosed that the stock
was not an unworthy stock.
Representative James F. Wilson of
Fairfield was accused of the alleged
crime of owning some of that stock.
His response was prompt, open and
frank He said: L own some Credit
Mobilier stock, and am sorry that [
have not saved money enough to buy
more, for | regarded and still regard
that as a valuable stock
"The people Of Iowa believed James
F. Wilson, and they believed in him.
Subsequently they sent him to the SEN
ate as colleague of Senator Allison.
There he remained until his health
failed, and he went home to Fairfield
to die"
THE people of Iowa have reason
for great pride, at present when
charges of corruption are flying thick
and fast. The finger of suspicion is
not pointed at any Iowa senator or
representative, of the past or of the
present. This condition reflects credit
upon the intelligence and uprightness
of the people themselves; for they
have elected only men who have stood
and are standing the test of investiga,
tion.
