A Faithful Representative.

OF Assemblyman General J. r. Nc
CONNELL's Legislative record the peo-
pie of Los Angeles county have abun-
dant reason to feel proud. No men,
ber of tie House has more faithfully
worked for the interests of his constit-
uents than he, nor has any one labored
harder at his task or been more care
full and guarded in his acts. He has
endeavored to learn the wishes of the
people on every measure before acting
upon it. The many bills sent up
from this city and county he has stud
led from title to closing section, and
to none has he committed hims' II un-
til he obtained the views of our CO.
pie for or against the proposed law.
His powerful opposition to tie pas
sage of bill designed to render inop-
erative and in great measure destroy
our railroad system, has won him
hosts of friends among his constitu-
ents and throughout Southern Califor-
mia. In all Los Ang lies we know of
but one business man who does not
earnestly desire the defeat of the
ARCHER freights and fares bill. No
member of the Legislature more fully
comprehends the disastrous effects
the passage of that bill will have on
the commercial and agricultural in
terests of Southern California than
General MCCONNELL and with man
'of his honesty of purpose and determi-
nation for the right, to know that a
bill strikes at the welfare and prosper
ity of those he represents, is to oppose
its passage, not only with ! is vote,
but with all the intelligence and elo-
quence at his command. General

The Senate chamber and its galleries
were filled to-day, as on yesterday,
by an immense crowd gathered to hear
the debate on the Fares and Freight
question. 1t is conceded on all sides
that Mr.. Edgerton's argument was
one Of the best speeches of the ses-
ton. Farley and Laine are expected to
speak tomorrow, the former for the
Connor bill and the latter for the Arch
er bill. Pierson will probably answer
Laine against the Archer bill, while
Hilborn of the Democrats, Sargent OF
the Republicans and Lindsey of the
Independent side of the house will adj
vocate the passage of the Archer bill.
The Senate will hardly come to a
vote on the bill before Saturday, per-
haps not till Monday or Tuesday, and
depends upon the number and length
of the speeches to be made.

Night Dispatches.
FROM THE SPECIAL REPORTER OF
THE DAIRY HERALD
Legislative Proceedings.

SACRAMENTO, March l7th.-A reso-
luton was adopted that the Senate
hold evening sessions on and after
Monday, the Goth inst.
The irrigation bills were made the
special order for tomorrow morning,
when the bills will be finally disposed
of.
AT the appointed time the Speaker
announced the Archer bill as the
special order for the House.
Roach rose and addressed the SEN
ate, reviewing the history of corpora
tions in the United States. In an
swer to the argument of Mr.. Lewis as
to the unconstitutionality of the bill,
he referred to the proceedings of the
State Constitutional Convention,
showing he intention of the trainers
of the Constitution in this article.
He held that the provisions eff the bill
were in perfect consOnance with the
article of the Constitution referred to.
Edgerton took the floor in CONTRA
vention Of the arguments of Lewis as
to the unconstitutionality of the bill,
holding that the Legislature had COM
plete power in the premises. His
ground was that public interest was
lie that Of the individuals or Il corpt :
ration. He supported his position by
the decisions of the United States Su-
preme Court and of the Supreme Court
of the State, and by the opinions of
legal commentators and authors.
After reviewing the legal points Of the
question, he discussed the merits of
the b II. The State Of Ohio had tried nine
times to legislate upon the veXed ques-
ton of rates of freight and had SO often
fail ed succeeding each time only in
paralyzing the industries of he State
and raising a protest of all the busi-
ness men in the State. Minnesota had
discovered the futility of the Potter
law. and after two years trial the Leg
islature of the State unanimously re-
pealed the same. Neither in its pres.
ent state nor even in an amended con-
dition could he support the Archer
bill. He went further, showing the
discrepancies and incongruities i'm the
classitications as to the injury which
would ensue to short railroad lines
under this measure. 1t was not the
popular feeling that this bill should
pttoo. iiC ulo
In their honest and liberal opinions.
He referred to the testimony of disin-
terested parties appearing before the
Committee on Corporations in support
of what he stated. He voted for the
Freeman bill of two years since in
obedience to the wishes of his con-
stItuents and was now acting in the
same capacity and for the reasons set
forth he should vote against the pass
age of the Archer bill lie closed with
a magnificent peroration excelling all
previous efforts made this session. At
the conclusion of Mr.. Edgertons
speech it was moved to postpone the
special order till tomorrow at 10 a. NJ.

endor ement of his constituency, but
his untiring efforts to defeat the bill
for the destruction of our railroads
makes him the most popular man in
Los Angeles county. We regret that
in this work he is not supported by
his colleague, Mr.. LAMBoURNE, ana
we fear that gentleman will learn
when too late to correct his mistake,
that in voting for this infamous bill
he has not acted in accordance with
the wishes of those whose votes sent
him to the Assembly.

THE Express alludes to gentleman
who owes the bank of TEMPLE &

had added that it made this attack on
him because he refused to sign state
ment that he wa. not in favor of set

The Chinese Danger.


We cannot endorse the position as
sumed by our contemporary Er-
prcss-that the Legislature ispower-
less to enact laws that will discourage
Chinese immigration. TO prohibit
the coming among us of these people
we must have the action of Congress.
The BURLINGAME Treaty must be alb
rogated before we can say to China
that she shall not pour her boards on
our shores. But State legislation
may check if it cannot turn back the
stream. We do not propose to main
tain the constitutionality of the bill
now before the Legislature prohibit
ing the removal of dead bodies from
the State. Indeed, we doubt if such
a position is tenable. Certainly it con-
file IS with the provisions Of the BUR-
LINGAME treaty. But while this
question is being settled by The courts,
the Chinese will hesitate about
venturing to country which
prohibits the removal of their remains
in case Of death. We are justified in
resorting to all lawful oXpedients to
prevent the overrunning of our land
by these pagans. Those already here
are but fraction of those preparing
to come. A few statistical facts con.
cerning China and her people will
more clearly demonstrate the danger
which threatens us tlan any other
argument we can bring forward. The
area of China is 1,296999 English
square miles. and she Las q popula-
ton of 2S6 persons for every square
mile. The increase in the population
of China within the PAST 100 years has
been astonishingiy great. In I'LL her
populations was 23,605,7l6 IN l753-
less than half u century lai er-it had
increased to 103, ,050,06O. The last CEN
sus was taken in 1872 and gave pop
uidllDu vi oO-, II y iOo' uhIIS Tx
census of 1912 rs basis and ostimat-
ing an increase of only % cr cent in
go years and we find tie present
population Of China 10 bo about
100000, 900. We are in the habit Of
speaking of China as the home of 800.
100000 of people and this estimate i:
perhaps very near correct. A moments
study of these figures will enable the
reader see that China can spare Il Chi
naman for each man, woman or child
in the United States and scarcely per-
ceive q thinning of her population. il
but eight of every one hundred Chi.
nese take it into their heads TO eomt
over here we shall have a Chnamar
for every person now in the United
States. When we compare the evi
results we have sustained from the
presence of the comparatively few
Chinese now here with that we
shall sustain from the millions thai
propose coming we feel inclined to ad
vocate almost any measure short OF
actual violence, designed TO cheek
Chinese immigration.
