means are equally firm that the existing laws

VIII fail. This would of course necessitate an
extra session Of Congress. because after June
3oth the salaries of every public officer except
those Of the army and navy would be unpaid.
II the bill does not pass.
There seems to be quite a decided intention
among the republicans Of the House not to
way the repeal of laws, which have no Dert1-
nancy to appropriation bills. and which should
not be Incorporated in them. 1t is therefore
quite probable that when the repeal sections
are offered in the House that the republicans

clustering. They will first try to wear out the
democrats Dy continuous session, (aS was the
case with the boot on the other leg when the

will trust to republican Senate to check the
democratic House.
CONSERVATIVE FEELING IN THE SENATE
There is no likelihood OF an extra session of
congress- because democratic Senators, with
ing any legislation, except the repeal of the test
0ath laws, TO the legislative, executive, and jul
d1clal appropriation bill The republican
senators will not offer any serious objection to
the repeal OF the test oath sections OF the
statutes. The democratic members OF the House
cannot make fight for the repeal OF the elec-
ton laws without the cooperation OF the demo-
Gratis in the senate, and thus the necessity for
an extra session will not arise

1t appears that the courts are de-
sermined to carry out the provisions of
the Burlingame treaty, which accords
the Chinese in the United States all the
rights and privileges of subjects of the,
most favored nations. Judge Field, of
the United States Supreme Court, de-
sided the ordinance passed by the
Board of Supervisors of San Francisco.
authorizing the prison officers to cut off
the cues of Chinese convicted of misde-
meanors and sentenced to term in the
city prison, unconstitutional. 1t is
difficult for ordinary mortals to under
stand why this ordinance is unconstitu--
tional, as white barbarians convicted of
crimes have their locks shorn when
sent to prison; but ordinary mortals
cannot comprehend the intricasies of
constitutional law. In Oregon also, the
courts have decided in favor of the Chi
nese on an important question. The
Legislature of the State passed an Act
prohibiting municipal corporationsfrom
employing Chinese. The corporations
contested the authority of the State to
snforce that law. They continued to
employ Chinese, and when the question
was taken to the Federal Court, Judge
Deaay, United States District Judge of
Oregon, declared the law unconstitu-
Eional. That decision has been sus-
tanned by Judge Field, of the Circuit
Court, and, unless the case is appealed
10 the United States Supreme Court
and reversed by that tribunal,
the law will remain dead
Letter on. the statute books.
The decision, as it now stands, annuls
several provisions of the new constitu-
ton of California relating to the Chi
Iese, one of which declares that no cor
poration. now existing, or hereafter
formed under the laws of the State,
shall, after the adoption of the censti-
tuition, employ, directly or indirectly,
in any capacity, any Chinese or Mongo-
Eans and another section of which
prohibits the employment of Chinese
On any State, county, municipal or
other public work, except in punish
ment for crime. 1t is therefore prob
able that those who voted for the new
constitution of California, for the rea-
s0n that it prohibits the employment of
Chinese by corporations, or on public
works, will not realize their hopes
The treaty is in the way, and that being
a higher law than State constitution,
annuls the provisions of the latter when
they conflict, with it, and the only hope
Of restricting Chinese immigration lies
in the abrogation of the Burlingame
treaty or the passage of an act by Con-
gress similar to that vetoed by Presi-
dent Hayes.
