If the tone of the press of the country ma

III the tone of the press of the country may
be taken as an indication of popular feeling.
1t Is not generally believed that Secretary
Sehurz has as yet made any serious mistake in
his efforts to purify the workings of his de-
partment. The opinion of President Seelye
carries with it considerable weight, owing to
his conceded ability ard honesty, but he seems
to have made up his mind on the matter be-
fore the investigation commenced, and to
have judged the board of inquiry not by their
findings and report, but according to his pre-
yiOusly formed opinion, based, it may have
been, on an imperfect knowledge of the facts
in the case. As far as Mr.. Galpinis concerned
THIS board OF inquiry whose proceedings are
pronounced "a gross traveSty upon justice"
dismissed the numerous charges and Specifi-
cations brought against him, with one or two
unlmpOrtant exceptions, and his removal was
based by Secretary SchurZ on matter outside
of the formal accusations brought against him
by corrupt and adrOit men." This report 60
ing deeply into the investigation of all
branches of the Indian bureau will render
valuable assistance to Secretary SchurZ i'm his
refOrmatOry labOrS. II is rather strange that
the alleged agents of SharperS and swindlerS
should lay bare the innermOSt workings of the
fraudulent operations which they wish to pro-
tect, and thus render comparatively easy the
detection and punishment of their accom-
plices. Secretary SchurZ has made official
changes, which were contemplated by his pre-
decesSOr. Oh reasonable grounds Much re-
mains to be done in the way of purifying the
Departments operations; and all his vigorous
efforts in this direction will be appreciated as
they deserve by the great mass of American
citizens

The death of Samuel Bowles, editor OF the
Springfield Mass Republican, is announced
The signs of recovery from his attack of pa
ralysis proved deceptive, and for some days it
had been evident that his death was near
MIR. BOwles was born in February, 1926, and
was therefore about 81 years Old Ne doubt
his life was shortened by Overwork, physical
and mental, but with his intense zeal in his
profession. and his ambition to make the Re
publican, despite its provincial position a
leader in Journalism, he would probably
never have been content to purchase more
years by remitting that ceaselesS vigilance
over every department of his paper that kept
it up to the high mark he had established for
ii. When boy he became an apprentice in
the Office of the weekly Republican, and when,
in 1874, the paper was converted into daily,
he, then only IS years of age, became the
working editor, and has continued inceSsantly
in the editorial harness for 81 years.

Of nomination in the democratic caucus at

quite strength enough to prevent an adjourn

thought possible that a combination might be
made in behalf of Dennis in the ballOting in
the legislature to-day, by which, with the aid
of the republican votes, Dennis might be
elected, but the result of the ballot taken to-
day in the legislature indicates that no such
combination was effected. In fact. Dennis

the price of machinery lubricatlng oil is look

is made that the auction sales of real estate
indicate that the bOttOw has been reached i'm

scale upwards. But the business men are
every where saying that no great permanent
improvement can be counted upon until Con
greSS decides definitely what it is going to do
upon finance, tariff and labor questions. While
the tinkering is going on at the Capitol it is
impracticable for prudent men to enter upon
contracts, make purchases. or undertake en-
tensiye business enterprises. Some of them
declare that the worst and crudeSt legislation
by Congress would be better than this state of
suspense and uncertainty; and that if that
body would only pass something and adjourn
so that they could be sure there would be no
more tinkering to unsettle values for year,
at least, they could then venture upon business
operations,

CHINESE VS.. AMERICAN LABOR.

American labor Is inseparably connected
with American citizenship. In Amerlca labor
is not, and ought not to be, degrading. No
legislation should be had and no treaties made
with foreign powers calculated to impoverish
or humiliate American labor. So far as the
country is advised the introduction OF
Chinese labor has had the effect to
push aside American laborers, to humillate
and impoverish them. The testimony is
voluminous and conclusive. The speech of
Senator Sargent, of California, puts the ques-
ton in a light that all must see
the great wrong inflicted upon Amer
leans by Chinese emigrants. He said:
If America holds out inducements to emil
grants to come here to better their condition,
IT has been the implied understanding that
they shall be fit for and become citizens of this
country, adapting themselves 10 our laws,
into the fabric of society upon the same
terms and conditions those which apper-
tain TO the people born the soil. Our
fathers founded here an American civiliZa-
ton, republican in form and spirit, aud any
thing which cOntraveneS this-debaSes br de-
stroys it-can not be consistent with the ira
ditiOns oftbe republic or within the meaning of
the declaration that America is the home for
the oppressed of all lands. The Chinese fulfill
none OF the requisites OF the immigration
which our laws are designed TO
encourage. They remain distinct, indgeSti.
BILE mass the community. n residence
of nearly 30 years in California has done Moth
ing toward aSsimilating the Chinese TO the
body of our people. They occupy their own
quarter of the city; still use their own dress
and language; worship in their own joss
houses; govern themselves by their own
laws, even 10 tie execution of the
death penalty against offenders; perse-
we're in their heathenish vices, and live
with entire selfish exclusiveneSs. They do not
seek America as a home or to become citizens
or to enjoy or maintain its institutions, but
merely To drain it of such portion of its wealth
as they can acquire, always with amino re-
vertendi, and, falling 10 realize this intention
in living, secure the shipment oil their bones
to China after death.
1t may be possible to compel American
laborers to work cheap, but to compel them
to meet in the labor markets of the country
men who have no aspirations above China
man is an outrage that ought not to be
tolerated. Senator Sargent tells plain
truths and the country ought to listen to
them

THE JOURNAL AND THE NEWS AS
PROPHETS.

When the silver bill was pending in con-
gress the Journal and the News of this city
gave daily diatribes on the bill. They
averred that the purpose of those who
favored it was to force a dishonest dollar
upon the people. They asserted that it was
an effort to compel the people to take go
cents where 100 were due; in other words
a device to scale the Indebtedness of
the country 8 per cent. They pre-
dicted that If the bill became a
law gold would go up like the
thermometer under the influence OF trop-
ical sun, and government securities go down
like the thermometer exposed to the blasts
of polar winter. Notwithstanding the
opposition of the gold bugs the bill passed
and the people have a double standard in
the place of single one. What have been
the effects of the passage of this law? Are
the people ruined? Has gold gone up and
government bonds gone down? Nothing
of the kind. From the day the bill
passed until the present gold has been
tending to par with greenbacks. From the
hour when congress, with courage worthy
of the cause it was serving, passed the bill
over the hackneyed objections of Hayes,
government securities have been appreciat-
ing in value. The calamities which, accord
ing TO the Journal and the News were to
follow the passage OF the silver bill, have
never come TO hand. The dishonest dollar
at which they raved is now selling in
this market at $1.O3 in greenbacks
1t can only be obtained from the gov
eminent for gold, and is preferred
by many to that metal. Were these journals
the paid attorneys of the gold bugs and did
their rawlings represent so many dollars cur
rent money of the realm? Where be there
'quiddits now, their outlets, their cases
their tenures and their trlcks?" Are they
prophets or the sons of prophets? VIII the
people in future believe anything they say?
Have they not proved themselves entirely
worthless as soothsayers? Will either of
them open an office and tell the peoples flu
ture by studying the stars, surveying the
palms of hands or reading the history OF the
four kings?
Verify, have the Journal and the News
proven themselves to be false prophets and
blind leaders of the blind. Not only this, but
that they were also as blind as bats, or else
had power of stimulation worthy the best
actor who ever trod the stage.
