The Chinese Must Co."
Disgraceful Glass Legislation.
PASSAGE OF THE ANTI-CHINEsE BILL.

PASSAGE OF THE ANTI CHINESE BILL.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. In the SEN
ate on Saturday Mr.. HamIin opposed
the bill Iestrictimg Chinese immigration.
Congress had the power but not the
right to abrogate the Chinese treaty. The
empire of China should be treated us any
civilized nation. If changed the treaty
should be altered by negotiation. He re-
ferred to the resolutions passed last SEES
sion authorizing the president tn open ne
gotIatIOns to secure the modification of
the treaty, and said he would drop this
bill, and trust all to that resolution. If
there were not this hot haste to over
ride the duties of the President, a solu-
tion might be had under the resolution
referred to, satisfactory to even the
people of the Pacific coast. He was op-
posed to Legislation upon treaties ex-
cept III extreme cases, and this was not
one of them. He referred to the treaty
of Washington, and the fishery clause,
and said when the attempt to terminate
that part of the treaty was made it was
by Il resolution brought forward in the
Senate to the effect that it was desira
bile to terminate that part of the treaty.
Now was it right to abrogate Il treaty
with China by the legislation proposed.
and that with Great Britain in another
way In reply to the argument of MI.
Blaine to the effect that China violated
the treaty by not providing certain laws
III pursuance thereof, Mr.. Hamlin said
the Emperor OF China did issue his edict
against any and all forcibIe transporta-
ton of Chinese to any foreign country.
The penalty for ii violation of this edict
was death. He believed all persons who
came here to make this country their
permanent home ought to participate in
our government, ought to be citizens and
have the right ofsuffrage conferred upon
hem. He believed that if the Chinese
on the Pacific Coast were treated with
Christian humanity they would assimi-
late with our people. He then referred
to the labor question, and said 0Cbi-
nese cheap labor" was cantiDg crv
1t was IL cry addressed to the preindi.
ces, not to the Judgment of men. Let
us receive the Chinese and teach them
the civilization of Christ. If we could
not overcome their paganism then we
could abrogate the treaty. He sent to
the clerks desk and had read speech
OF Mr.. Stewart, member of the Cali
fornia constitutional Convention, SUP
porting his views.
Mr.. Eustis of Louisiana made brill
lant speech against Mr.. Blaine. but NOT
against the bill, for he finally voted for
IL, put he saw an opportunity to saw
something he had on his mind. His
chiei point was that those who made
the loudest cutlery against the Chinese
had not word to say against the ne
gro That men could cOmmiserate the
poor Californians because of the curse
which Chinese immigration had infiict-
ed upon them, but have no sympathy

The Anti-Chinese Bill.

We give considerable space to the
final discussion in the U. S. Senate of
the anti-Chinese bill. We are surpris-
ed that such legislation can be possible
III a civilized and nominally Christian
country. A study of the yeas and nays
is interesting. Both parties are invOlv-
ed, though not equally, for few more
Democrats than Republicans voted for
the bill, and nearly twice as many Re-
publicans as Democrats voted against
it. Two New England men voted for
the bill-Blaine and Eaton--and even
if his action inithis matter gives Mr..
Blaine the ''hoodlum" influence, it will
not help him in the long run; we be-
lieve the better class of community
will disagree with him.
Our national Congress has not only
been guilty of breaking faith with a
heather nation whom our missionaries
are trying to convert, but it is foolish
enough to attempt to rebuild the Chi
nese wall which both commerce and
Christianity was fast breaking down.
We look for President Hayes to veto
the bill.

"limited management" of the last one.
They brought to their work an abun-
dance of good intention, such limited
capacity as they possessed, and such
time as they could spare from their

that it was possible to do, they have
not the vanity to suppose. No doubt
they could avoid some mistakes which
they made this time, if they were to
manage another convention, but am
very sure they will be glad to resign

the fact that during the day there was not a full

be drawn is that the average shooting is far above
what was done three years ago by the American
team of 1876 when they defeated the Irish and the
English in the great international contest for the
