' Tun recent decision of the U, 8. cir euit court for the district of Massachu- setts on the validity of the law restrict- ing Chinese immigration has croated a great sonsation on the Pacific const.

The San Francisco Call declares that “so far as the decision of a United States circuit court has effect, the Chinese restriction THE CAMPAIGN IN I0WA. Within six weeks the contest now waging in Towa will culminate in the eloction. For an off year the Towa cam paign has evolved nearer red heat than any political contest within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Ten years ago the Hawkeye state was badly shaken up by the granger movement, but at no period since 1873 have the people of Towa been agitated so niuch over the outcome of an impending election. The overshadowing issue this year is prohibition, and the most intense interest centers in the election of the legislatury Ostensibly the supremo judge is the prin- cipal figure in the campaign, but in the law makers are the bone of contention. The prohibitionists have mounted the republican chariot which they are driving at a reckloss pace over very dangerous ground. At the outset of the campaign the election of a supreme judge presented the prohibition issue in its most direct form, mitted last The prohibition amendment sub- par was a politi but the supreme court dec 1 firebrand, jon declaring the amendment void was—to borrow a phrase used by a Des Moines correspond- ent—a whole torchlight procession. The court, by four of its judges, (Day, Roth- rock, Seavers and Adams), handed down this decision in March last, Judge Beck alone dissenting. The based upon technical defects or omissions in the legislative record that should attest the passage of the amendment in due form beforo its submission to the yeople. At once the cry was raised that the amondment was “not dead, but slecp- decision was oth,” and that by changes in the per- sonnel of the court, which could be offected in the glections this year and next, the hostile docision might be re- viewed and reversed, and the amend- ment itself eatablished in the fundame tal law by a shorter cut than the process of ro-enctment and resubmission. The republican stato convention, to the con trol of which the friends of prohibition had bent their energies, doclared that the popular majority of 20,974 in favor of the amendment must be accepted as *‘the verdiot of tho people,” and was, it is is stamped out of existence. 8o far as a docision of a United States Cirouit Court has effect, the Chinose re- | year, and tho convention nominated as [ or 81,800,000 o year.

It is well known that the president signed the restriction act under mental protest, and there is now reason %o believe that he proposes to accomplish by indirect means that which he lacked the courage to accomplish by a positive assortion of his prerogative.

An overthrow of the law is an offence against the entire American people. The effoct of the Boston deci- sion is that the Chinese who are subjects of Great Britain are not included under the terms of the restriction act. * * * * * * “I'he decision, as a matter of law, is widiculous, A sovereign nation has.a wight to restrict all immigration if it so wills, . T publication of the pension lists has been delayed for many years owing to the immense labor involved in preparing eorroct lists of the grand army of pen- sioners. Commissioner Dudley denies a report $hat the pension list will be kept as much aa possible from public inspection when printed. On the contrary it will be given $ho widest circulation, as the best possible ation. These evils, it is easy to ace, are wery real and very many. Chiof among Shem, perhaps, will be the use pension- claim agents will make of the list as the means of getting at pensioners to induce Ghem on various prefoxts to s ek for increased pension from the government. On the othor hand tho publicity of the printed lists will holp to unearth real uds, and there is a reasonable foeling Shroughout the country that it is entitled &0 know who the men are to whom it is extending its bounty, The pension office s trying as hard as possible to head off Abe unnecessary correspondence the lists ®id fair to evoke by appending to each mame, the injury, where its nature will mot embarrass the sufferer, It can be weadily seen that this has involved an anormous amount of extra work, and it ds doubtful if it more than partly accom- plishes its purpose. An incident which is vouched for by pousion bureau officials affords touching illustration of the pathetic side of the pension bureau work, A few days ago when the clerks came & work in the morning they found wreiched group crouched at the office door, 80 ragged and dirty and miserablo hat it was impossible at first to tell whother they were men or women, They groved to be a man and his wife and four ehildren, the youngest only five years old. The man was & recent graduate from the wegular army, who had beon injured in he writs, Being dissatistied with the way s case had been managed by his pension agent, the whole family had walked all &be way from the Black Hills to push $heir claim in person. These cases, the Bureau officers say, are by no means rare. Bt is not uncommon for wen to walk from said, only restrained from adopting a wmore pointed rebuko of the court's de- cision. Judge Day's term expires this once the troublo began. Prominent ro- publicans, among whom ex-Gov. Kirk- wood may be named as most prominent, declared that the deteat of Day was an assault upon the independence of the highest court, and that the action of the convention must and should be rebuked. Tho Waterloo protest, promulgated by the independent ropublicans, became a firebrand that for a time threatened to swamp the repablican ticket. The pro- test declares that the convention had “struck down an ablo and conscientious judge for tho faithful dischargo of his duty,” and, futther, that the whole policy of prohibition is intolerant, un- warranted, and a substitutien of legal coercion for those great moral forces on which the cause of true temperance must rely. How extensively this feeling runs through republican ranks in the state it will be impossible to tell till the roturns como in, but tho feeling is known to be extensive. The democrats are, if anything, more distracted over the prohibition issue than the republicans, The democratio candi- dato for the suprome bench is Walter R. Hayes, of Clinton. 1t was in Hayes' court that the test case was brought from Dayenport involy- ing the validity of the amendment, and it was Judge Hayes' decision which the highor court aflirmed. To tho extent of his record, therofore, Hayes is committed to still hold the amendment invalid; and to the extent that Judge Reed is very acceptable to the prohibitionists ho may be considered willing to review and re- verso the now famous decision. Beyond the support of ‘“‘anti-force republica: in all parts of the state, Judge Hayes is expected to run largely ahead of the democratic ticket. Whilo his chances for success are decidedly slim, many of the democratic leaders claim his election as assured. As o matter of fact the contest has narrowed down to prohibition and regulation and the state, regardlees of party, is divided on that supreme issue. In the contest over the legislature every other issuo has dropped out of sight. Even the United States senatorship is regarded as & minor affair, What the outcome will ba, we cannot safely attempt to predict. Should the ultra-prohibi- tionists carry the day the prohibition amendment will be resubmitted and the struggle will be carried into another cam- paign, The closing weeks from now until the 9th of October will intensify the interest in the Towa election and we shall not be surprised if the outcome should result disastrously to the republicans, who may discover to their sorrow that the prohibi- tion alliance was a grave blunder, Seeaxing of smells, did you over travel two miles west on the U. 1.7 Somebody said that Gen, O'Brien buried his boom out there, — Republican, That's clearly a case of mistaken identi- ty.

They were decidedly harmonious and unas mous. The delogates elected themselves without opposition. Mackay's Telegraph San Francisco Chronicle, It is given out that John Mackay, late of the bonanza firm in Nevada, proposes to build opposition lines of telegraph to those of the Western Union, wherever opposition will bo most effective, and that after he shall have got his plan well started, he will sell out to the govern ent “‘at a fair, but handsome profit.” I'he work is all to be done at cash rates. No water is to be injected into the stock. Tho government is to be charged so much for actual labor and capital, plus the ‘‘handsome profit.” What Mr. Mackay would regard as a handsome profit 18 not now surmisable. Probably 10 per cent on his investment. It has often been asserted that the Western Plan, of 8150,000,000, Congress finally pushed the date of the two-cent rate forward to October 1 next making the reduction take effect through nine months of the fiscal year, Even if this lowered the revenues $7,600,000—which it can hard- ly do, because every reduction in rates has always been followed by a large in crease in business—the deficiency ought not, apparently, to be more than $1,000,- 000. The chances are that the depart- ment will find itself either with books about evenly balanced or with a surplus. As 500n a8 it is clear that the service will be self-supporting at the two-cent rate, the city rate should be reduced to one cent. There has been a good deal of squibbing in the newspapers because, after Oct. 1, it will cost as much to send a letter around the corner as it will to send it to Californ But one thing is true. A republican congress has made the great reduction and rendered the minor one possible. During the fiscal yenr ing June, 1882, there were 90,- 000,000 letters carried in cities by the two-cent stamp. A reduction of the rate to one cent, would have made a loss of only $00,000. But here, too, the in- crease in business would probably be large. The one-cent rate for cities can conie in another year or two, A NOVEL TRICK, How Two Tramps Make a Living Out of Their Own Bloud.

It Mackay and his company should con- struct an equally efficient and elaborate system for $30,000,000 and charge the government $33,000,000 for it, govern ment telography could of course be sup- plied at lower rates than Western Union on a capital of $80,000.000, and Mackay would earn the distinction of a public benefactor. But the ever critical public will naturally ask, Why should any company step into the postal telegraph business, with the view of making a landsome profit off the government by selling out to it The government has a large yearly surplus of cash, 1t can usc this for the work Mackay proposes to do as well as the Mackay. The government borrows at 3 per cent. Mackay's com- pany would charge at least 10 per cent, and it would be an exception to all cor- porations if it failed to overcharge in con- struction. Tho British government u fow years ago bought out all the telegraph companies in the United King- dow, paying in 3 per cent bonds, and it finds, after discharging the interest and footing all operating expenses and cost of ropairs and extensions needed, that there is a clear profit ranging from $1,600,000 ted States could construct an efficient telograph system on $30,000,000 at three per cent, and make it pav at lower rates fur dispatches than any corporation SouliCkavakte charge to pay lotic per cent dividends to its stockholders. But the government could not do this by pur- chasing a_corporation system at a hand- some profit to the corporation, or by pay- ing as much for water as for bona fide property. Blundering Retormers, Providence Journal (Rep.) The advocites of labor reforms are guilty of the most amazing impracti bility and delusion in regard to some of the measures which they propose. Noth- ing is more common, for instance, the present sessions of senatorial comumit- tees on educationand labor, than for men to demand an eight-hour law in all the national workshops. They do not seem to see that that instantly creates a priv- iloged cluss among themselves, and gives special advantage to employees, not on account of their quality as workmen, but from the chance or influence that secures thew government situations, 1f there is any justice inan eight-hour law, it should be made uniform, instead of creating u priviloged class by favor of the govern- ment. They cannot expect that the ex- ample would amount to any- thing, for what work is done for the government now is believed not to de- pend wholly upon quality and_industry in actual, competition with ordinary em- ployments, but to be rather a matter of privilege in case and pay, and to be ob- tained by other qualities and in addition- al skill. To create_further privilege would bo to intensify the struggle for the places and the feeling of injustice, without ac- complishing any thing for the cause even in the way of convincing the people that it would be wisz and economic for the government 1o tike charge of the whole industrial system of the country. — One-Cea Postaze in Uitles, Now Yzik Tribune, Thero is an 0ld saying to the effect that you never know what you can do till you try. The late postmaster general, Mr. Howe, was 50 timid about the proposed reduction of letter postage to two cents that he suggested in its stead an odd scheme for reducing the cost of stamped envelopes. Yot the returns of the post- office department show now that if the rate had not been reduced the govern- ment would probably have found by the middle of 1884 that it had made a heavy profit out of the pooplo for carrying the mails, which it never wants to do, From present indicatious it ought not to be long before the letter rate in cities where there are carrivrs is reduced to one cent. The business of the postoflice depart- ment grows so fast that even the officials cannot anticipate its progress. The de- partment estimate for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1883, made at a time when # large proportion of the saving on the star routes had been ascertained, was that it would leave a deficiency of §920, 000; it is now nearly two months since the fiscal year ended, and the depart- menat estimates that there will be a sur- plus of about $2,600,000—an increase of more than §1,000,000 over the surplus of last year. The surplus would be even largor but for two reasons. The ap- proach of the reduction of postage has diminished somewhat the sale of three-cont stamps and stamped en- velopes; and _congress by a blunder mado the readjustment of postmasters’ salaries, which was to provent the loss that would otherwise come to them under the reduced postage, take eflect seven months before the reduction did, When the Post Office Appropriation bill was subuitted to the house last December, was estimated that, with the natural growth of the business done by the mails, and without any reduction of the letter rate; the fiscal year ending June 50, 1884, would show a surplus of nearly £7,000,000. The probability is that it would have been even larger. It was ostimated at the same time that a reduc- tion to two cents beginning January 1, 1884, would causo & reduction in the revenues of over $5,000,000 —if there were no increase in the amount of business as a result of the reduction. But even then there would be u surplus it wet it, and rubbed the knife over it two or three times. Then he took the smal- ler and did the same thing, and, with two or three scrapes on the waxed strop, he finished the blade, and in a few seconds he liad the other one sharpened. He then closed the knife up and handed it to the customer, who had been regarding him weanwhile with wide-open eyes, **You don't mean to tell me that knife is sharp,” he said, when the man handed it to him. “Yes, sir, it will share you.” ““Why, you am't been three minutes.” “That don’t make any difference. This knife will shave you, Look!” And, opening the larze biade, the man held the instrument between the thumb and the two first fingers of the right hand, caught his chin with his left and ran the blade down his cheek. The two days’ beard dropped off as it would before a barber’s razor. **Well, I am blowed,” exclaimed the customer, ““if that don't beat all.” The sharpener lotked pleased, but he seemed to think the countryman wanted more convincing, for, rolling up the sleeve ot his left_ arm, he said: **Maybe you ain't satistied. Now watch me. Holding the kuife in his hand as a physician does his lance when dissecting the leg of his subject the man drew the sharp edge of the blade down his bure arm. The pres- sure he put on it was not more than a feather-weight, but the countryman grew yale and commenced to howl. “Hold on, hold on. Don't. Say, what the thunder are you doing, anyhow? Stop. Ugh,” and as he pronounced the last word the man took the blade off. He had drawn it the full length of his inside arm from tne elbow to the wrist. **Now, p'rhaps you don't think I cut it,” he suid. There was no blood for an instant, but in a second the red liquid rose to the surface and a cardinal line showed where the blade of the knife had traversed its And yet the instrument looked as if it had ot touched the skin as the man drew itdown his arm. The sight of the long line of blood, which did not well out, but merely suffused the skin, was too much for the countryman, and he turned away. When he turned round he said: *“Well, I am danged if you am't a bigger fool than I thought you was. Heie's a quarter.” The man took it and said the customer would find that his knife would retain its edge. Gather- ing up his tools the man hurried out of the hotel. A reporter had been a wit- uess of the little scene and followed him out. Once on the street the man was joined by another man, dirtier and more vepulsive in his appearance than the knife-sharpener. The reporter followed them and came up with them at the cor- ner of Madison and State streets, At the corner a policeman was standing swing- ing his club. He eyed the two men us they passed, and said “*Hello” indiffer- ently and turned about “Do you know them?” asked the re- porter. *Yes, 1 do. chaps." **What is the racket they work?” ““Have you never seen them?” “Yes, I seen that one on the outside rip the skin of his arm open to-night, and 1 am curious to know what they are, “‘Write 'em up. They're worth it. I'll tell you They have one of tne mos: original schemes on hand you aver saw. They are tramp cutlers, and two as fine knife-sharpeners 1 guess as aro in Chi- cago, They do the thing like lightnix but they are bums and they hate work. They profess to sharpen a knife for five certs. Now at ftive cents each one would have to sharpen twenty kuives to muke $1. Tha. would be too much work, and they have struck this plan to decrease the amount of labor and yet maintain the same capital, It is a contest, with labor a8 the victor, tor their practice is to carve themselves with the knives they have shurpened in the way yousay you saw the tall one do to-night. They work the ho- tels and restaurants, and by shaving por- tiens of their beards with the newly- sharnened knives and cutting their arms, they provoke a species of sympathy, and people give them a quarter where other- wise they would ouly give them a nickel. Do you tumblet” **Yes, but don't this cutting of the arms hurt them?” “That is where the duet comes in. To- night the tall one does the sharpening and cuts his arm in several difforent places. If business is good he changes off and cuts the other arm. Ho is sure to get a quarter anyhow, and sometimes he gets o half a dollar, But both of them aro cute. They can sizo up & man just us well as the next fellow. 1f they catch a bloke that they conclude is nervous they cut a long sht and get a half a case; but if they think a chap ain't worth more than a quarter, they cut only a lit- tle bit. Sometimes they don't cut at all, because a man isn't good for more than a nickel, But that isn't the best part of it. So much cutting, though it's only skin deep and no blood is lost, is hard to stand, so the chaps trade off. One does the racket to-night and ’tother to-mor- row night, and that gives 'em a chance to patch up. They put me onto the lm'\\cl one evening when I was about to collar "em for suspicious characters. The tall one showed me Lis arm, all plastered tight with strips of some sort of plaster, which be said had. great healing power, He carried a bundle of it.

New York Tribune, A young mananda young woman, whose looks of confusion told plainly enough that they were a ‘‘newly married " appeared at the bureau of vital s yesterday in search of advice and inforination, The groom was tall and slender, with blonde hair and blue cyes. He wore a light summer suit and a straw hat, and his manner was mild. The bride was an athletic brunette, whose rosy cheeks, flashing black eyes and elas- tic step bespoke abundant health and d cision of charrcter. She was dressed ex- pensively and she did the talking for the two. The story she told was as fellows. For private reasons they had been mar- ried on August 1 by a Roman Catholic pr She did not wish her family to know of the marriagé on account of prop- eity which her children (if she had any) might inherit, but she wanted her stand- ing as a wife fixed beyond any dispute. When the wedding ceremony was per- formed she gave an assumed name and had descril herself as a widow, al- though she was only eighteen years old. Her husband asc ago that his m: a name other th istered by the health departinent, and some of her friends had advised her that slie was not legally married. She desired to know if the rds could not be ¢ ed without publicity. Dr. John T. Na- “le, the deputy register, informed her that such.a change in the records could be made only by the order of the board of health in a public way. Not wishing to advise herin the matter, he directed her to the office of Generel Shaler, the president of the board of health, where she again related her story. She was then told that the best way out of the dif- ficulty was to have another marriage cere mony performed. “Oh!" she said, ‘“‘we have been to the priestand have asked him to marry us over again, but he refused.” She was advised to appeal to some other priest, or to be married by some otner authorized person, and the couple went away with the intention of follow- ing such a plan. ‘A reporter learned last night, however, that the couplo were married first by the Rev. Mr. Schneider, a Lutheran minister, of No. 91 Second avenue, and that then they were remarried by a Catholic priest. From a large pile of marriage certificates Mr,Sclineider took out that of the couple in question. It was dated August 1, and it showed that on that day Robert H. Hayes, Jr., aged twenty-four, a physi- cian, living at Twenty-ninth Street and Broadway, was married to Clara Morson, a widow, maiden name Dunn. The certificate further sets forth that Mrs. Morson had one husband be- fore, and that her father's name was James Dunn. William Ryan and Cecilia Schneider, the parson’s daughter had signed as witnesses. The signature of bride aud groom were made in a firm hand, especially that of the bride.—*Cla- raMorson. he called on me to-day,” said the Mr. Schuneider, “‘and told me that she had given a wrong name; that in fact she hpd never been married before, and that her name was Clara Dunn. She wanted me to change the record, but I told her I could not do it, and I sent her to the bureau of v statistics. 1 will not marry them over again, Both were very cool and collected when T married them and knew what they were about.” It Was All Right.
