TROUBLE AMONG THE AUTHORITIES, There is still considerable jangling among the World's Fair authorities, male and female, and a little unpleas- antness also exists among the officials connected with the Pennsylvania building. All these jangles are the offspring, mostly, of jealousy, that bane of society and breeder of strife, A jealous person is a curse wherever found, and sad to tell, he is found in almost every community creating strife and hissing on and fomenting quarrels, and he is at the Fair as well as in the town and village. The tools he works with are falschoods, misrep- resentations, false insinuations, a loose tongue and tale bearing. Three fourths of the strife in a community is the seed of a jealous fiend, who works underhandedly like a coward, and gloats over the mischief he causes, Dante, in his inferno, sets apart the lowest and hottest pool in hell for the jealous souls, for the iniquity they have wrought on earth, in every laud- able work in the church, in the com- munity, in the business world, in or- ganizations, in short in all phases of life. nil e—— THE CHINESE MUST GO, On Monday the supreme through Justice Gray, sustained the ry Chinese exclusion act. Justic Brewer dissented. Justice Gray, in announcing the into the country or to require aliens aiready in the country to re- move therefrom was a well firmed by an unbroken line of deci- sions in this court. The legislative power of the government has not trans- cended any of its constitutional limi- tations in the act under consideration. The Geary act required all China. men to register or leave the country. They refused to register, and will now have to be deported to China. It is thought it will cost six million dollars to send them back. At the conclusion of Justice Gray's opinion Justice Brewer announced that he felt compelled to dissent from the view of a majority of the court. He read his views at some length, de- claring in substance that the act of 1892 was unconstitutional and that if it was upheld there was no guarantee that similar treatment might not be accorded to other classes of our popu- lation than Chinese, Justice Field also read a dissenting opinion. He held that there was a wide difference between the exclusion of immigrants and the deportion of the alien residents, and he characterized the act in the strongest language as in- human and brutal, and as violative of the constitution in every section. He regretied to say that the decision of the court was to his mind fraught with the gravest danger to the price less constitutional liberties of the peo- ple. Chief Justice Fuller also dissented from the opinion of the court. metmt———————————— TRUE EVERY WORD, The Altoona Tribune, a Republican organ of commendable independence, says many things of good sound sense, that hit its own party. In its issue of Monday, it speaks thus: Pennsylva. nia has no man of first class Import- ance in public life, and the Republi ean party especially Is the vietim of much mediocrity. The reason is, to a very large extent, that men of inde- Ses pendent temperament and first class ability are studiously suppressed. When a young man comes into local prominence the machine marks him, If he is willing to sacrifice his nan- hood and his honest convictions and to work in harmony with the machine to accomplish its purposes, he may have something of a future, but it will be a future upon which he cannot look with any satisfaction at the close of life, and one which will terminate the moment he is of no further use to the machine. It would not be difficult to name men who would have won na- tional fame and refiected honor upon their state had circumstances been different. But instead of sending statesmen to Washington we give our senatorial seats to men who seldom occupy them and who have been sneered at by nearly every reputable newspaper in the country. This con- dition of affairs has lasted a long time, but that is no evidence that it is going to last forever. In fact the signs of an impending change of leadership mul- tiply on every hand. THAT FREE BREAKFAST TABLE. The free breakfast table is one of the Republican delusions, having no basis in fact. Tes is free; coffee is free; sugar Is taxed; the tablecloth is taxed; the cut- lery is taxed; the china is taxed, and the table is taxed. Yet this is what the Republicans call a free breakfast table. The difference between the taxes imposed by the Republicans and the taxes imposed by the Democrats is this: The Republican taxes are for the benefit of the manufacturer; the | Democratic taxes are for revenue only. | Sugar is free only in its raw state; re- | fined sugar is taxed at half a cent a | pound, all for the benefit of the Sugar | Trust. | material free, and has a bounty of half | a cent a pound. This tax yields to the | Sugar Trust an enormous revenue, | In addition there is a bounty of ten | millions paid to the sugar producers | in America. This comes out of the pockets of the man who believes he | has a free breakfast table, The Democrats would change all | this. In the first place, they would abolish the bounty. In the next place, they would put a tax of a cent or a | cent and a half, or even two cents, on | all sugars imported, and thus secure | fifty millions in revenue. Then a tax on coffee and a tax on tea, importations of which aggregate $142 - 000,000, could be imposed so light as scarcely to be felt, which would at the same time justify a reduction on | household utensils, on crockery, cutle- ry, furniture, woolen clothing, tools and machinery, In fact, the breakfast table already groans under the burden of taxation; under the burden of a double taxation. | The Sugar Trust gets its raw | 3 the sugar Demoerats propose to free the break- | Kitchen table and the for § iil revenue only.
