DISCUSSING THE CHINESE QuEs-
TION.

At last the Chinese question is to have
q fair, impartial. hearing in Congress-
and in all probability some little good
will come OF the hearing. The people
Of the Pacific Coast ask only justice in
this matter. and justice We have a clear
right to demand Of the government OF
which we form an integral part. The
| Cinnamon now here are q curse to the
prosperity OF this coast. We are willing
TO protect that curse as II stands to-day
by all lawful means. We are willing and
anxious to secure our Chinese residents
from violence and outrage at the hands
OF hosdlums and r%ufians; but we insist
we have q right to insist-that the
curse shall not be increased. Our bur-
dens are heavy enough now; all that We
ask Of Congress is to take measures to
prevent them from becoming heavier;
and despite the opposition Of evangelists
in the East. who never saw q Chinaman
and know nothing Of the evils which
thsir presence entails, the indications
are. that the National Legislature Is about
to come TO our relief.
The House Committee on Education
and Labor devoted their time yesterday
to hearing arguments on this question
from Congressman Page and Davis Of
California. Our dispatches say that
the facts and statistics presented by
these gentleman made a great and fa-
vorable impression on the Committee.
Their argument against cheap labor did
not seem TO make much impression. and
II we based our complaint on that ground
alone We should probably fail in the ut
tainmsnt OF our object. But when the
moral lsprosy which these heather trans.
plant to our shores was touched upon,
and the fact was shown that they do not
and will not assimilats with us and EN-
brace our institutions, as other immi-
grants from foreign shores do. even DIR.
Loring Of Massachusetts,, who has hith-
erts been known Is a friend to the
Chinese. began to wavsr in his faith.
and IL is said that he is o as warm an
advocate Of restricting further immi-
grafton a no has hitherto been OF en-
c~ouraging IL.
The signs are hopeful, and II we can
| only restrain our hoodlums now from
a~ssaulting the Chinese in the streets Of
San Francisco. smashing the windows
Of wash houses aud burning and pill.
laying the shanties Of the M~ongolians.
We shall probably very soon see meas
ures taken TO abats the curse in the
future. A report from this committee
favorable to US is equivalent to favorable
action in the House. Let US see to it
that nothing is done on this coast to
prevent the making Of such u report.

BI.AINE,- SILVER RIi.i..

Biaine's silver bill. introduced in the
Senate day before yesterday. has one
merit. which even the opponsnts OF re-
monstization will recognize and admit.
It does away with the free coinage
clause OF the Bland bill the clause
which will kill that bill in the Senate.
IL IL is killed at all. Mr.. Bland pro.
poses to allow owners Of bullion to de-
post il In the mint. have il coined into
standard dollars, and receive the total
amount coined. New. at present mar
ket rates. there would DO just ninety
two cents Of silver in every dollar
coined, 80 that an owner Of ninety.two
dollars worth Of bullion could deposit il
in any United States mint and receive
for II 100 standard dollars. This is a
pretty liberal percentage, and II 1t is to
DO received by anybody. ii should he by
the Government, which pays the s,-
psnsss OF the coinage. Mr.. Blaine's
bill proposes to cover this difference be-
tween the market aud the monetary
value OF silver into the Treasury where
il belongs. The bill provides:
THAT silver bullion may IL deposited
at any coinage mint, or at the assay Office
In the city Of New York, Tor returns In sill
yer dollars Of -- grains standard value,
At such rats or price per standard ounce
Of bullion ~ may from time to time DO
fixed by the Director OF the Mint, with the
approval In writing OF the Secretary Of the
Treasury. and which rats shall correspond
a. exactly as possible with the market
rate; and the bullion thus placed shall. In
addition 10 other required coinage author
lied by the existing law. be coined without
delay to the full capacity Of the minis.
"Section 2-That any coin or profit
arising from the coinage OF silver dollars
shall. after tho payment Of lawful wastage,
be covered iato the Treasury " the United
States at the close Of each fiscal year"
There is some reason in a provision OF
this kind. There is no reason in requir-
ing the Government to pay 4 dollar for
the same amount Of silver that can BE-
purchased in open market for from 92
to % cents. II is just possible that
these two sections OF Senator Blains's
bill. and the legal tender clause Of
Representative BANDS bill. might be
combined and the Act passed during the
| pressnt session.

A PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK.


The prospects for a prosperous season
In California were never better than to-
day. After a long doughth which mp
pallsd the hearts Of tho farmers. the
generous rain has fallen upon the earth
in such quantities as to assure a bounte'
Gus harvss, in nearly every portion Of
the State; the hoodlum agitation il
gradually s~ubsiding. and Kearney and
his gang are now virtually rspudiated by
every decent, order-loving workingman.
The fears Of the capitalists being thus
assuaged. many will begin to build In
the early Spring, and gorgeous palaces
will arise in San Francisco, giving EN-
ployment 10 thousands Of honest arti.
sans. Harvest time. too. will create a
demand for thousands OF willing hands
who are only awaiting the opportunity to
labor for their daily bread. Enough rain
has not yet fallen to meet the require.
ments Of the miners. but the prospect is
excellent for more, and they need moi
despair. Altogether the outlook nsveI
was more prosperous for the Golden
State.

II 1T WAN

The news contained in our European
dispatches this afternoon is Of q nature
to create a belief. amounting almost 10
a certainty. that England has awakened
from her lsthargy. and has determined
to check the further advance Of the Rus
slams upon Constantinspls. The only
two Ministers in the Cabinet who have
opposed war in the past, Lord Derby
and the Earl OF Ca~rnarvan. have 70.
signed. thus leaving everything In the
hands Of D'Israsli. The commander Of
her Majesty's feet at Saros has been
ordered to land the marines and blue
jackets at Bulsir. to protect Gallipolis.
until fresh troops arrive. and to hold
his ships in readiness to sail for Malta
to transport soldiers; u demand for
extra money for the army and navy Ia to
be made OF Parliament OH Monday; and
finally. most significant fact Of all. the
Duke Of Cambridge. Field Marshal and
Commander Of Chief OF tho British ar-
mics. has been summoned post haste
nom his country friends to London. IL
this does not mean immediate war. II Is
certainly a menace TO Russia to step
where she is. or war will result. And II
England steps to tho front at this crit.
cal juncture. q confiagratisn will be
started that will illuminate all Europe.
