Optnfous OF the New York Press on
the Passage Of n Chinese Bill.
NEW YORK, February II.
The Times says editorially Of the Chi
nese bill Although the Senate is well
known TO be painfully overcrowded just
now with people who have Presidential as
pirations, the country was nevertheless en-
titled to look to it for the treatment of this
measure, somewhat different
from the deranged one of the House. The
Senate might fairly been counted on to re-
member that it holds, with the president,
the treaty-making functions of the Govern
ment. The fifteen-passcnger law Is de-
signed and adapted for the next California
election. Page and Luttrell, in champion
ing it, claimed hostility to the Chinese as
the policy Of their respective parties. Had
the Republicans and Democrats We'd IN
protesting that their parties would never
discriminate against race or color, or m
migrants, this dragging OF State politics
into national legislation might have been
more excusable, but the anxiety was all the
other way. There wal a rush to give Page
and Luttrell o good-natured vote, that
they might parade before their constituents
and show that hoodlumism is a sound
plank in Republican or Democratic plat
forms, as the case may be-. But the Senate
should have had courage to take q different
path, because Of its treaty approving pre-
rogative. The writer thinks the bill q need
less matter, being embraced in a courteous
joint resolution passed last summer.
Besides, there being more Chinese depar-
lures than arrivals for the past IL months.
Tlo ~1.... x~.xI l., xkok n viplont and dis
courteous act was demanded by the hood
lum sentiment of the Pacific Coast, and
this demand being listened to, it was
thought necessary that a Republican Sen
ate should make as strong q bid for the
California vote as the Democratic House.
The Times concludes: Congress has
placed itself in the wrong, for the only
honorable mode of limiting Chinese immi-
grafton is to modify the treaty which now
sanctions end welcomes it.
The "World" calls the bill a scandalous
scheme, and says the worst feature OF IT
is the rejection Of Mr.. Conkling's PROPOSE
ton to have the President give notice to
China that immigration is pernicious.
Among the nays were leading Presidential
candidates Of both parties o in the Sem
ate-Blaine, Bayard and Thurman. 1t
might be possible, perhaps, for clever po-
litical cynics to invent q more scathing ex-
posture than this vote carries with it, OF in
roads made upon the high theory of the
American Government by the low prac-
tees of American politicians, but we
doubt it.
The ssTribune's'' Washington cores
pondent hopes the President will veto the
bill, saying that the hoodlum is victor, and
the heather must go. The Chinese Re-
striction bill takes its place beside the
Pension Arrears bill-a sop thrown to the
dear voters Of a section of the Republic,
and, like its twin measure, is a failure so
far as its underlying motive is concerned.
The measure found its foremost supporters
and its foremost opponents in the Republic
can ranks, while cowardice, born of doubt
as to what political advantage it would ulti-
mately be, was m~onopolized by the Demo-
cratic elements. which find voice in the
tempestuous oratory Of Kearney and his
cohorts.
Anniversary of the Syracuse Young
Mems Christian Association.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, February II.
Stewart l.. Woodford addressed q large
assemblage this evening at Plymouth
Church, on the occasion of the 21st ami
versary Of the Syracuse Young Mems
Christian Association. His subject was
upon the Chinese immigration question.
He arraigned Congress in unmeasured
terms for violating the laws of God and
man.. He said there was no fear Of the
Christian cross being overthrown by a
Chinese pagoda, or our glorious Christian
ity disproved by the false philosophy OF
Confucius. No Act of Congress, or law Of
State or Nation, could alter the laws Of
