They settled in New York, nnd, like all other smaller sects, were persecuted by the larger religious denominations. By 1867 they had extended their membership as far west na Ohio and Kentucky.

They practice celibacy and recruit their members from tho outside, adopting children and bringing them np in tba faith.

The feel thal il:o fam.foir uiih the lexi of trea n a,.d k tow now ,t , should be construed one uf the reasons why the .r;,u.lo' veteran advisers, who tiiui.e ih? ..reign pulley uf Japan, have liun no inclination tu countenance the limitation excited by a few diaiunivim-- j politician and their organ against our law prohibiting the migration of Japanese laborers from the Philippine Islands to the continentni territory of the I'nhed States. Such men as the Marquis lu are well aware that by tha Toklo governments interpretation of the existing commercial treaty between the two countries Japan ia estopped from objecting to the ezer-d- e of authority involved iu the American Uw Just named What does the existing treaty aay touching the power of cuutrol over alien laborers conceded u each signatory? A clause iu article 2 distinctly specifies that the rights conceded by each party to the citizen or subjects of the other shaii not In any way affect the law ordinances nnd regulations with regard to trade or to the immigration of laborers, or to the regulations adopted for police purposes and public security which were then in force or might thereafter be enacted In either of the two countries. How did Japan interpret this clause? Her view of the rights accruing tp her under It waa tel forth, aa is pointed out In n Toklo letter to the New York Herald. In Imperial ordinance 952, which la now thetew of the land, nnd which provluea that all foreigners are authorised to reside, remove, carry on trade nnd do other nets outside the foreign settlement a and mixed residential districts, with the exception in the case of laborer that these cannot reside or carry on their bualneaa outside the foreign settlements or mixed residential districts except under the special permission of Aa the administrative - authorities. alien laborers were already authorised to work In the foreign acttie men t a and mixed residential districts, it ia evident that thin construction of tha treaty waa tantamount to the assertion of power to exclude them from all the rest of Japan, nnd to the delegation of the exercise of the power thus aaaeyted to local administrative Of c.if.rmf VI eliM.-- r was iu ly wLo couU nff'uivl tu pay for his tlup . ecrrii-esA sharp Nantu-kt-- t man la 'aaiil to bare tue better of the greet defender uf the cuiuiitutiju iu an He had a amusing way. however. small case which waa to lie tried at ctim-'inite- gt Nantucket one weT--k In June, and be in great posted to Webster otlii-haste.

KNICHTSCF PYTHIAS EXCURSION TO SALTAIR er mull or course Is that owing to fue gitai and growing pressure uf Japan's pupnUilnu uu the uieaus or subsistence -- a pressure that really drove ihe country 10 acquire a fouthuld uu the Asiatic mainland -i- he supply of native labor su exceeds the demand that there is no room for foreign wurkmeu. This politico economic barrier has proved aa iusarmouutsble to the Chtu-e-- e as to other alien laborers. Now. huw has the inited States Interpreted the same treaty ? Our government obviously was at liberty to put the same construction on -- rlause of Article 2, to shich we have referred 3 was applied to it by the Mikado' ministers. A a matter of fact, however, our Federal government has never delegated to the governor of a state such power of excluding alien laborers as the Japanese Uw ass granted tn the prefect or bead of a provincial administration. Our central Federal au. thoriiy, aniug in 1U official own name and not in that of a state official, baa imply exercised the right of furbidding the migration of foreigners from our island possessions to our mainland territories. Inere la no doubt that in pursuance of our treaty rights we might have goue much further and have excluded from any of our stales even those Japanese laborers who for years have been allowed to reside there. For, as baa been above, one uf the regulations declaratory of the meaning of the commercial treaty with the United State which were issued by the United States which were Issued by the Japanese ministry for home affaire authorizes a prefect or local governor to cancel at hU option tha permission to reside tn the interior which previously may have been given to alien laborer. . With the precedent, therefore, of Japans officUl Interpretation of the treaty before ua, what reasonable objection could he raised even to the exclusion from Hawaii of tna Japanese laborers whom we have suffered to settle there since we became owners of that archipelago? Aa a matter of fact, for one American workman now tolerated in the Mikado's empire there are at least a score of Japanese laborers who are permitted to reside and pursue their vocation in our lnaular or continental puaiesalona. it follow that on neither theoretical nor practical grounds haa Japan anything to complain of in our construction of tha existing commercial treaty.
