THE CHINESE CAN COME.

The bill which recently passed Con-
gress known as the anti-Chinese bill,
having for its purpose the restriction
of Chinese immigration to this coun-
try was the subject Of a veto message
by President Hayes whom we think
fully justified in his action concerning
the same. The demand for this meas
ure came from the Pacific coast and
was very general by citizens residing
thereon. The politicians in Congress
thought they saw a chance to put
their votes where they would do the
most good when this matter came up
and acted accordingly, those of one
party vying with those of the other in
their efforts to pander to the preju-
diceS of the Pacific slope in view of
the possible effect of the vote thereof
in the next Presidential electoral col
lege. While we are not prepared to
defend the habits and customs to
which Chinese inhabitants of this
country SO persistently adhere, we are
nevertheless of the opinion that the
solemn obligations of the Burlingame
treaty should be strictly observed I'M
til that treaty can be honorably abro-
gated. We have no doubt that the
evils of Chinese immigration have
been greatly aggravated as well as
exaggerated by those residing npon the
golden shores of California, and we do
not share in the apprehension that our
Republican institutions will be SUBJ
verified by the Monaghan race so long
AS three or four of that nationality
leave this country to each one of the
same who comes here. which is shown
by statistics to have been a fact as APP
piled TO the last year.
