California Press on the AntI.Chincse niIl

California Press ON the AntI.Chinese RIII,
SAS Francisco, January 20.-The lead.
ing journals comment on the passage by
the House Of the anti-Chinese bill.
The Call congratulates the community
on the action Of the House and claims
that the Senate cannot refuse its prompt
passage withoutthrowing away all chances
OF Republican victory in California at
the next Congressional election.
The Post approves the measure and
argues that the manner in which the
question was managed, though q transient
Democratic success will not affect the
relative status OF the parties in California
in the coming election. :.
The Alta is silent. ..
The Chronieie contents itself with brief
editorial review of the nature OF the bill
and its management by the Democratic
members.
The Bulletin considers that 1t will solve
the troublesome industrial problem, and
dwells strongly on the protection it will
afford against epidemics, citing the plague
now prevailing In the Orient and previous
smallpox visitations to this coast. tbe.
lieVes that the Senate, by promptly pass.
ing the bill, can deprive the Democrats oi
any advantage they may have gained in
the House.
The Sacramento Record Union character.
ICES the manner and passage OF the bill as
desperate attempt on the part OF the
Democrats to recover lost prestige in Cali.
fornia, and the bill itself is glitlering gen.
erality which should be repudiated to,
gether with the party that offers it.
The Examiner approves the bill, giving
the Democracy mainly tho credit for it
Local representatives OF the Democratic
party arc iubilant over the action OF the
House. and claim that the bill is strictly {
Democratic measure. Republicans regard
it as an attempt to make Democratic capi
tai, but are gratified for 1t as q restrictive
measure,
Mr.. Kearney calls It q mere politica
dodge, and says Congress would never
have touched the question but for cam
paign purposes
Ex-SIinister to China F. F. Low believed
the bill would be OF little practical effect
as the Chinese could be landed in British
Columbia and thence make their way Il
California. Helooked upon the measure
as an attempt on the part OF certain poll
ticians to obtain the support OF the Sane
Lots.
AT the Chinese Consulate the bill is con
sidered antagonistic with treaty proyis
ions, and likely to result in complication
with Great Britain,

shall bo printed on the backs Of The books,
in plain letters, SO that every buyer ol
a book In West Virginia could see
at glance the price at which the dealer
got the book from the publisher, and thus
protect himself against extortlon. Such
an enactment viii do away with boards ol
selection OF any kind, and give the legisla.
ture control Of the question. 1t is the
simplest method in its workings, and Oh.
viates all difficulties about who shall sup.
ply and distributethe school books Of the
State. They WILDE sold byovery body, as
now, but under wholesome check as to
price.

AwmrER i'll Yesterdays Register accounts
hr the lack OF sufficient difference be,
tweel, gas bills in Dec. 1874 and Dec. 1878,
,M explaining that since the former
date ,l,c Gus mains have been so enlarged
,ba,they allow the pressure at the rcser.
yoir to exert its perfect work with more
freedom upon the burners, and hence
there is greater volume of escape.
It happens, however, according to our
information, that the mains were enlarged
prior to the date quoted by us, and that
the 9 50 gas was flowing through them at
that time, just rs thcSl so gas is now, and
that ior some reason the flow has seemed
10 increase Universally with the reduction
inthe price, and that the 60 per cent re.
duction has not brought economy aud
happiness to number Of consumers. 1t
might be well to put up the price and re-
duce the pressure little, and thus make
the mains little less laxative as it were.

McMahon has informed N. Duiaure thai
he will communicate his decision To him
at Versailles on Thursday afternoon. II
is understood that there will be a message
to both houses. A few persons fear that
the President may avail himself Of bis
constitutional right to form an extra Par
liamentary ministry and prorogue the
Chambers two months. 1t Is said the diff.

Is mere pretext, and that McAiahon Is

threatened with impeachment by the

RAtlnc4D Bosps-s (; Strong and higher.

SrUcKs--Market to-day active and strong.
with an advance In prices ranging from / 10
~ per cent, both Investment ahd speculative
shares participating In tho upward movement.
Alter midday coal stocks fell ka2N per
cent, OH the low prices realized fOrcOul ut tlie
auction Saleof the Delaware, IAickawanna &
Western Company, and the general list fell OF
Nal per cent. During the afternoon there
was an active buying movement which con-
tinued to the close, when the highest figures
Of the day were current. A prominent rrl-
ture was an advance In Western Union To
lOl9G, or within fraction Of the highest paint
ever reached. The greatest activity WIS in
Erie, LackawAnna, Lake SlIUre, Northwestern,
ST. Paul, Western Union and New jersey
Central.
Tho Graphic In explanation Of yestcr ay 3
sudden break In the market sayE The only
conclusion to be reached Is that the promi.
nent bull operators, fully aware Of tic dan
gerouS. condition OF tliemaFket, had been Tor
a number Of days quietly engaged unloading
enough Of their holdings tO put them in a pG.
sitiOn OF safety In case Of a break All this
was very quietly and carefully done, anl
probably without communicating their inten.
tons to their Immediate followers. Thenur-
cllases OF heavy operators seem to have been
continued to-day, and speculation appears TO
be again in the direction OF hlgherprfces, with
the market IN o safer position than before,
and for still higher rise. Notwithstanding ali
this there Is no doubt great deal that Is tic.
titious existing in the present speculation,
Some Of the better classes Of securities are
worth all they are selling at, considering the
revolution that has been created In the inter-
est rate, but many Of the speculative stocks
have been advanced to figure at which no
prudent man should buy.
