the ErrEcIs OF rHE VETO.

II is impossible just now to predict
just what may DO the consequences Of
the Presidents veto Of the Chinese re-
striction bill. but we have faith enough
In the good common sense OF the Amsri-
can people to believe that no violent and
riotous acts will be INDUCED in merely
by reason Of the veto. The Chinese
have been permitted and encouraged to
come to this country, same as other
nations. and IL our laws are incapable OF
keeping them out 1t is not their fault.
They certainly should not DO abused or
maltreated in consequence. and more
especially because Of this veto. In view
OF the cratic and unsatisfactory policy
OF President Hayes, As thus far devel.
opsd during his administration, this
veto need not surprise any me-. His
Chinese policy is on a par with his
Southern policy. He has no backbone.
or at least but a very weak one, and his
Judgment is no better than his discre-
ton. He should have some very sound.
correct and w~ell.disested reasons for
this veto. but it hardly looks that way
At present. Everybody on the Pacific
Coast will await those reasons with in.
%tsrest. and be glad to see the bill passed
over the veto. although there is little or
no prospect for it. At the present writ
ing il is bad enough to know that the
President has vetoed the bill this day.
What will he do nextp

Tho Democracy and tho Schools.

Gradually they come round
and take position in favor of
the public free schools. The
Marlin Ball, an ardent supper
ter of Gov. Roberts and the
veto, announces that, while its
faith in the "old alcalde" is yet
mistaken, it is unequivocally in
favor of the free schools. The
Bryan PILOT, a carefully edited
and fair-minded paper, supper
ted the veto. 1t has since had
time to survey the ground and
in its issue of last week says:
"When we committed the Pilot
to the financial policy indicated
by Gov. Roberts veto message,
we did not understand that we
were taking a stand in opposi-
ton to public schools; nor are
we willing even by inference to
be placed in that category" 1t
announces itself in favor of an
efficient" system Of schools
and favors the largest appropri-
alton the finances of the state
will admit of. We expect soon
to see other papers which sus-
tanned the veto make similar dec
larations, leaving only the very
few papers that are opposed to
public free schools in toto, in a
hopeless minority. Opponents
Of the democratic party who
have been looking for a divis-
ion on the school question will
find themselves most wofulIy
disappointed. When it comes
to test question it will be
found that the actual opponets
of the public free school system
are so few as not to amount to
a disturbing element in the par
ty. Political opponents who
are banking on the disruption
of the democracy in Texas are
leaning on a broken reed.
There is a vast amount of CO.
hesion in the democracy yet.
Those who contemplate writing
its obituary had as we'll hay by
their pencils and paper, as they
will not live to see the day of
its demise.

A WASHINGTON special to the
Philadelphia Post accounts for
the appearance of the yellow
fever at Memphis on the follow
ing hypothesis. The first ad-
mitted case was that of Null
bandon, the shoemaker:
1t appears that Mulbrandon's
wife lost several relatives by
yellow fever last summer, whose
household and other effects
came into her possession.
Among these effects was guam
tity of clothing and bedding
that had been used by the de-
ceased relatives, including even
the bed clothing from death
beds. These effects had been
packed away in boxes during
the winter, and presumably had
not even been fumigated.
When the hot weather came
these things were unpacked
and used with the result already
known.

ed, consequently every match
struck pays the government
one-tenth of one mill, a small
sum, but in the aggregate
amounting millions annually.
The people pay far more taxes,
indirectly, to the government
than they do for state, county
and municipal taxes. The gov
ernment collects annually some
S275,ooo,ooo from internal rev.
cnuc, customs, etc. Estimating
the population at 100000 we
find that the taxes amount to
nearly So per capita. The poo

append the opinion of some of our best
people as to irs merits.
We hereby certify that we have used
Dobbins' Electric Soap, made by I. l.

that its use has given general satisfaction
That it is pure soap, and although little
higher priced than other common rosin
soaps, ii is worth more than the difference
in price. We therefore recommend it to all
who dssire strictly 6rst-class soap.
