Chinese Exclusion and the Labor Problem, The Rochester Herald is in favor of the re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion law, which will expire by limitation next Spring. Among other things it says z From the number of strikes In this country of late American labor seems to experience considerable difficulty in earn ing a “ living wage ” and defending itself from the encroachments of “ corporate greed.” It would therefore be most un wise to complicate the relations between labor and capital, already strained and frequently acute, by the introduction of a flood of cheap labor, sneb as would be produced by the repeal of the Chinese exclusion act. We fancy that the gov ernment will have quite enough to do in solving the “ Chinese question” in its island dependencies without introducing it here at home in the form of unrestrict ed Chinese immigration. There is little cause for fear that the unrestricted admission into this country of Chinese immigrants, the same as the immigrants of all other countries are ad mitted,,'would result in the material cheap* ening of labor, while it is a well known fact that there is in several States a great scarcity of labor of the Chinese kind. When the Chinese Exclusion Law was enacted cheap Chinese labor was not flooding the country. In fact Chinese immigration was decreasing. It had reached its flood-tide several years before and was subsiding. But hoodlums and sandlotters demanded the law, and polit ical demogognes yielded to their demand, to the burning disgrace of this country in the estimation of right-minded people. It has been the pride and the boast of this country that it offered an asylum to the oppressed and downtrodden of every other nation, offering them opportunities and advantages obtainable in no other land. Millions have taken advantage of this asylum, to their material well-being, and it ill becomes such to be the chief advo cates of slamming the door in the face of those also seeking the blessings which they enjoy. The violation of traditions long held sacred is justifiable only under conditions which are truly alarming, and Chinese immigration and the results therefrom have never presented such a condition. As we have before admitted, many of the traits of the Chinese are not alto gether lovely, judged byAmericon stan dards. But the same is true of other im migrants, some of whom cause us not a little trouble by their ceaseless agitation and lawlessness. The Chinese have their virtues, chief among which is their dispo sition to be cheerful workers. They are satisfied with small pay at first, bnt in time they acquire the habit of exacting reasonable compensation for services. The chief cause of the trouble on account of their existence here is that they do not readily assimilate and become voters. If they wielded the ballot their present op ponents would respect and defend them. The claim that in large cities, where they quite naturally flock together, they cannot be made amenable to our laws and be brought within Christianizing in fluences is not well founded. They could be reached if a well directed effort were made to that end. But if we cannot reach them when at our very doors, what hope is there of converting them in their own land through missionary labor? The Herald's premises are largely false, and hence its deductions are worthless. The strikes and strikes in this country are not because the workingmen do not receive a “ living wage, but are largely the result of the fact that they are receiv ing phenomenal wages. There were very few strikes during blighted Democratic times, as history shows. In most of the strikes this year the question of wages is not involved in any degree. Labor agi tators are seeking to usurp provinces which rightfully belong to employers, and to enforce the demand that non union workingmen have no rights which are entitled to respect or protection, and quite naturally such leaders are foremost in defending the Chinese Exclusion Act and demanding Its re-enactment. The Development of Lynching, Crime begets crime, depravity begets depravity, and lawlessness generally grows by what it feeds upon. The alarm ing increase of lynching in the South acd West is convincing evidence of this. At first the crime startled the country, es pecially when attended by the fiendish ness o f burning at the stake. Now such events have become so numerous that they excite scarcely a ripple of indigna tion and alarm. The State does little, the National Government nothing, and the people are too seared of conscience and too indifferent to demand anything of either. We are wont to shudder with horror on account of atrocities far less barbarlous committed in semi-civilized countries, but we do not even wink at them at home. What the end will be no one can foretell, but certain it is that ulti mately there will be a tenible day of reckoning. As regards the development of lynching an exchange says : At first the victims of lynch law were banged or shot to death; sometimes both methods of killing were applied simul taneously. This comparatively humane manifestation of mob violence no longer satisfies the lynchers. The most recently developed ethics of lynch law require that the victim must be roasted to death, and in some Instances the horrid orgy is accompanied by sickening brutalities and unspeakable cruelties more appropriate to savage and barbarian tribes than to . a • • • i«« f _ „ _ 1 Cocal. New Rural Delivery Routes, the citizens of civilized and Christian America. At a recent lynching in Frank* lin County, Tennessee, the frenzied mul titude scrambled for bits of the ropes and chains that had bound the shrieking wretch to the stake; bits of charred wood were carried off as souvenirs ; and one man, “ in his insane brutality” — we quote from a letter by Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, bishop of the diocese of Tennessee— “ cut out and carried away two of the dead ne gro’s ribs fur souvenirs.” In view of the above we may well in quire if this is any longer a civilized na tion ? There are evils and evils in this country which the churches are bravely combatting. But what are they doing to check the horrible crime of lynching which strikes at the very foundation of civil government? The Louisiana Exposition, The State Department at Washington has issued a proclamation signed by Pres- dent McKinley, inviting the nations of the world to participate in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, to be held in St. Lons in 1903, the one hundredte an niversary of the purchase of the Louisiana territory from France. When hard pressed by England, Napoleon Bonaparte the First directed this cession for the nominal sum lof $15,000,000, in or derto prevent England acquiring the ter ritory by force. As regards the United States, it was indeed an imperial pur chase and one that has contributed greatly to the strength and prosperity of the country. It is fitting, therefore, that the centennial anniversary of the event should be duly celebrated, as it undoubt edly will be by the exposition at St. Louis. TO BE STARTED OCTOBER I, iqoi.

Sullivan, of North Tonawanda, a disbarred lawyer, has brought a sensa tional action against twenty defendants, including four Supreme Court justices of Erie, the five Appellate Division justices of this department, Judge John R. Hazel, of the United States District Court, and a number of attorneys, to recover $20,000 damages. Conspiracy is alleged. Sulli van was accused of compromising a suit and defrauding his client, and was dis barred therefor. It is a novel case, and the outcome will be awaited with interest. We had supposed that judges were im mune from such proceedings. How's TAis? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. F. J.

Banks, With reference to opening another banking institution at Ovid, the people up there will have no confidence in it un less it be either a State or a National Bank, with a capital of $50,000 paid in. Under State or National banking laws de positors would feel more security. A bank of this kind could not putout money ou long time mortgages, not with safety. It must have securities on which it can realize in at least ninety days, and leave mortgages to be handled by money men who deal in that way .—Geneva Advertiser. The Advertiser correctly states what State and National banks ought to do, what, in fact, the law requires them to do, but too many banks neither do as they should or as the law requires. There is, in our judgment, no safer kind of busi ness than legitimate banking—banking conducted strictly on business principles and in accordance with State and Nation al statutes. Comparatively very few banks have failed that were thus conduct ed, and in most of the cases of the few that have the losses of the creditors were small. Great bank wrecks are almost in variably caused by deliberate and long continued violations of law, reckless speculation, or the down-right rascality of officials. Bank laws are stringent enough, but the trouble is that they are not as rig idly enforced as they should be, and vio lators whose acts have caused heavy loss es and great suffering on the part of cred itors are too often permitted to escape deserved punishment. In cases of great wrecks, criminally caused, public sympa thy frequently goes out in greater meas ure to the wreckers than to those who have suffered distressingly from their acts —a fact which it is difficult to account for on any sane or humane grounds. In view of the great responsibility of bank officials it is very important that they should keep with the law, and that they should suffer severe punishment for any wilful departures therefrom. The ultimate collapse of the strike of the steel workers is indicated by the fact that the strikers are beginning to dis credit Mr. Shaffer, the President of the Amalgamated Association, while the Pittsburg Labor World , the organ of the Tin Plate Workmen’s Union, demands his impeachment for various alleged shortcomings.

Penn Yan, A . Y . Dear Sirs: You can paint your barn with a good barn paint, if you like. Our agent may not have it in stock, but will get it— we make it. What is good barn paint ? It is paint that will wear well enough, look well enough for a barn, and cost about half by the gallon. How do you want your barn to look? is the question. Anybody else’s barn is auotber matter. Your barn is your busi ness, your living, your profit. You’d bet ter be extravagant with it. Paint it as well as a merchant or doctor or lawyer or banker paints his house. The local weather bureau furnishes the following report for the E xpress , pre pared by Prof E. B. Garriott, of the U. S. Weather Bureau: “ The following state ments are based on average weather con ditions for September, as determined by long series of observations. As the wea ther for any given September does not conform strictly to the average condi tions the statements cannot be regarded as forecasts. In the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere ihe settled weather of summer begins to give way to the more pronounced weather types cf Autumn. In the tropical regions of the oceans September marks the height of the hurricane season. Over the North Atlantic Ocean the great permanent high barometer near the Azores decreases in magnitude, and the severer storms which advance from the American continent or adjacent waters, pursue a qjore southerly course than during August. Storms of this class which cross the Atlantic from the American to the European coast av erage about two a month in September, and the likelihood o f encountering them along the trans-Atlantic steamship routes is greater than during the two preceding months. Fog is less frequent over and near the banks of Newfoundland than during August, and the average southern limit of Arctic ice in the North Atlantic is in about latitude north 47 degrees. In the United States the most important storms of September advance from the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Storms of this class commonly possess great power, and on an average of about once in two years they are destructive to shipping and coast industries. Over the Great Lakes gales of marked strength occur on an average about once each September. As the month advances the rains which oc cur cast of the Mississippi become gen eral, rather than local, in character, and attend the passage of well-marked storms. September is a month of heavy sub-trop ical rains in the south Atlantic and east Gulf coast districts, and a second maxi mum of rain occurs in the lake region. Except in the lower Missouri Valley, on the North Pacific coast, and in areas in the Southwest, the rainfall west of the dssiasippi is usually very light in Sep tember, and over great parts of the mid dle plateau region and California no rain, as a rule, falls in that month. During the last half of September killing frost Is likely to occur in the Northwestern States and the Lake region, and frost is not un common in the Ohio Valley and Tennes see toward the close of September.” Benton Center, —There will be a Pau American Social at the home of James McAlpine ou Friday evening, Sept. 6.

The rc-union of the Ball family was held at Keuka College on the 27th, 28th, and 27th ult. The gathering was largely due to the efforts of Dr. George H. Ball, the President of the college. The pri mary object of the meeting was to trace the geueology of the family, to promote acquaintanceship and strengthen the ties of consanguinity. Iu these respects the rc-union was a success beyoud the most sanguine expectations, and was highly enjoyable throughout. .About 100 rep resentatives were present, from thirteen States of the Union, including Colorado, Massachusetts, arid Louisiana, and of nearly advocation of life. Dr. George H. Ball delivered an ad mirable address of welcome, In which, among other things, he said that the dif ferent branches of the Ball family in America descended from the following three early settlers: Richard Ball, who came to this country from England in 1617; Robert Ball and Goodwife Ball, who came to America in 1819, and settled in what was then Virginia. Many valuable and interesting papers were read, and the statistics therein pre sented prove that many widely scattered branches of the family had the same ori gin, and that the coat of arms of all was practically the same. It was also shown that many members of the family are eligible to membership in the Sons of the Revolution and others in the Found ers and Patriotic Society of the United States. It was unanimously resolved to hold another meeting at the college in August next, and during the year efforts will be made to collect further the rec ord and literature in relation to the fam ily, which will be catalogued and deposit ed in the college library, in a place set aside for them, this library having been designated by resolution as a permanent depository for them. A permanent organization was effected under the title of “ The Ball International Union,” and officers for the year were elected as follows: President, Rev. George H. Ball, Keuka College; secretary and treasurer, Frederick Grant Ball, of Cleve land, G .; assistant secretary, Miss Clara E. Ball, of Hanover, N. J.; vice-presi dents, Rev. George W. Clark, of Heights- town, N. J.; J. H. Vance, of Erie, Pa.; George H. Ball, of Albany, N. Y.; George W. Ball, of Washington, D. C.; executive committee, Frank Ball, of Muncie, Ind ; George P. Ball, of Berkshire, N. Y.; J. Johnson Bill, of Bloomingdale, N. J ; Miss Emma Yerby, of Baltimore, Md ; Mis s Clara E. Ball, of Hanover, N. J.; Rev. John Chester Ball, of Newark, N. Y ., with the president and secretary; press committee. Charles F. Ball, of the Pittsburg, Pa., Times. At the close of the session it was an nounced that there was a movement on foot among the trustees of Keuka College to change the name of that institution to Ball College, as a tribute to the work which Rev. George H. Ball has done for it, and also for the benefactions which have come to it from members of the family.

Richards has been very sick with brouchitis and pneumonia, but at piescnt writ ing is improving.

A great many things were incomplete at that time, but still there was more to be seen than one per- son was capable of taking in and giving the careful attention that different things deserved. We were impiessed mostly by Ihe electric dis play and a visit to the electric building, also the government building, the fine arts, horticultural, and entomological buildings, also the fishery com mis>iou is something that none should miss. The products and wares and implements from our new possessions attract a great many. The Midway, although a separate thing from the main exhibition, has its share of patronage, be ing situated close to the main entrance, for those who reach the grounds by the belt line from Buf falo, and,\ by the way, you ride the whole dis tance on this route. 12 miles, for a nickel, and on the return to the city on this line you see much to interest you. You pass Fort Erie, whose grounds are we.1 worth your attention, and also the water front with its vast amount of shipping, the ferry across the Niagara River, also the great international bridge between U. S. and Canada, which is fine for those who love the history of our country. It would be impossible to tell all one saw or how different things impressed one, but, as the queen of the E <st said unto Solomon, ‘ ihe half has not been told,” it is necessary for one to take time to go over the grounds and care fully study the different nations represented, their customs and habits in the home life which they live upon the grounds. We went through the streets of Cairo with some triends, and there was one thing those natives had learned and that was the greed for money, which they displayed to the sight seers. The State buildings were so incomplete and not being opened we only got a casual glance o f the outside, but taking it alto gether it Is a grea* success. We were also highly tavored in listening to the open air concerts by Sousa’s band of 63 pieces of different kinds of musical instiuments. also the Mexican and Cu ban bands contributed their share to the musical entertainment o f the sight-seers. It also seems that the railroad service was never so complete on the N . Y. Central Railroad as during this present year. Everything is done by the officials that can be done for the comfort of the traveling public, and no one makes any mistake in patron izing this route who intends visiting the Exposi tion. —Mrs. Wetzel, o f Bellona, is visiting her daugh ter, Mrs. Hugh Dolan. —Miss Maggie Carroll is visiting in Branch- port. —Miss Elmira Barden, of Gage, recently spent some lime with her friend and classmate, Miss Mabel LeClaire. —Mrs. Miller, of Milo, has been with her sis ter, Mrs. Alec.

Mrs. Sabra Easton, formerly of Penn Yan, but for many years pa««t a resident of Onondaga Hill, who died recently, had been an invalid for some time, her death being finally caused by cerebral hemorrhage. Mrs. Easton was Sabra Stuart Ellsworth, daughter of Johu Ellsworth, born iu Gorham, N. Y., but when still very young her parents moved to Penn Yan, which continued to be her home for many years. She was first married to Dr. George Hewson, also o f Penn Yan. After his death she continued a resident of Penn Yan until again married to Francis Easton, of Onondaga Hill. Mrs. Easton won the respect and love of all who knew her by her nobility of character and kindly disposition. By reason o f sickness she was much confined to her home, yet her sympathies were far loo broad to be prescribed by any such limits. Her kindly interest extended to many who were personally u• known to her, aud by her benevolence and Chi nties she made herself universally beloied. She w s a liberal supporter o f the religions and enucaiiooal work in the community in addition to her private charities. The remains of Mrs. Esston were taken to Penn Yan for interment, funeral services being previously held at her home at Onondaga Hill. These were largely attended, the representative character of the assembly being an additional testimony to her wide influence as well as to the love and esteem in which she was universally held -Rost-Standard, Syracuse, N.
