For some years the Democrats of Cal
tornia have ridden into power on the anti
Chinese questions When called upon to
meet them with practical legislation they
have invariably put off their constituencies
with something Of general and vapory case.
During the last session Of tie Legisl laiure
it was felt that the real issues could be no
longer dodgcd. Awakiug TO sense of una
voidable accountability; it became apparent
that eiher Chinese must be forbidden TO
land in the State or, If ian led, their em 10. =

either OF these illegal and proscriptive mea,
ures puzzled the brains OF the wisest. After
hot debates. motions and counter motions,
resolves aud re resolves, a s ense of shame
and disgust began to creep oyer the most
active workers, and finally the conviction
forced itself home that the thing cOuldnr
be done. Some one, more sensible and hu

out of the dilemma into which her Demo
cratic leaders forced her, and these leaders
will in the future be comneled TO look about

Curiousy enough, free trade Democrats
like Marshall of Illinois, Wood of New
York, and Beck of Kentucky, opposed rlac
ing tea Or coffee on the free list. Their
main arguments against such policy were
that neither tea nor coffee came under the

the Government could not afford to do with
out the revenue derived from these articles.
