The World says: The House has
adopted from China the thoroughly
Chinese idea of excluding the Chinese
from oor shores. 1t is rare sport to see
q Chinaman hoist with his own odorous
petard, but this action must none the
less be considered the first step toward
the Mongol conquest of mankind.
The Times and Post strongly censure
the action of the House.
The TINES says: The bill might be
styled "a bill to make political capital
in California for the next election, or
it could be called ga bill to tickle the
ears of the hoodlum groundlings in San
Francisco by safe insult to the Chi
nese Embassy in Washington, or
again it may be regarded as ian act for
the self-stu iication of Congress,
since both branches have passed res
olution locking to the restriction of
Chinese immigration by the only cour-
teous and honorable method, namely,
of opening negotiations between the
Governments of the United States and
China for modification of the treaty.

GIVING SILVER A CHANCE.

Orders from the West for standard
silver dollars are increasing daily at the
Sab Treasury of the United States 10
New York. The Treasurer says he is
doing all he can to increase the demand,
ss he is of the opinion that $50, 200, 600
of the coin will be required in the bust
ness of the country. Circulars are now
being sent to all parts of the country.
calling attention to the facility with
which silver dollars may be obtained in
the interior in exchange for drafts on
New York from any bank. Any person,
by sending exchanges on New York to
tue amount of $1,000 or over, can have
silver dollars in return delivered free of
charge. This offer on the part of the
Government is expected to greatly in /.
crease she demand for silver dollars.
and get them into general circulation
throughout the country.

ANOTHER RAILROAD BILL.

Another bill to regulate fares and
freights upon railroads whose lines are
wholly or in part within this State. and
to prevent extortion aud discrimination
on the same has been introduced in
the Assembly by Mr.. Fisk. of Eureka.
1t provides for the election of three
competent persons. to be styled Com
missioners of Transportation. biennially
by the Legislature. The salary of each
Commissioner is fixed at $4,000, and of
the SECRETARY of the Board, who is to
be elected by the Board $500 per
annum. 1t makes it the duty of the
Commissioners to inspect all railroads
with reference to their security and
ability to accommod tie the public,
and when in their opinion tracks or
bridges are unsafe notify the Superin-
tendent of the fact, and if the Superin-
tendent wilfully neglects for the period
of two days after receiving such notice
to commence repairing the same, he
shall be deemed guilty of mis-.
demeanor. On and after the FIRST day
of July, 1879 the Commissioners of
Transportation shall have power to re-
duce the rates of fares aud freights,
but the reduction shall not be below
five cents per mile for passengers. nor
below four cents per mile per ton for
freight. and if any railroad company
shall charge higher rates than those
fixed by the Commissioners they shall
be deemed guilty of extortion, and
shall forfeit and pay to the person
sggreived ten times the amount of the
damages sustained by him with the
costs of suit. The bill defines ex-
tortion and discrimination and provides

the unfortunate man, which was torn
