The executive power of the country
can be no better placed than in the
hands Of General Hancock. His love of

Hancock is a man of destiny. Why,
just look at the record. In 1868 Gar.
field brought a bill into Congress to
drop the junior Major General. That
was Hancock. II passed both Houses
of Congress and was signed by the Presi.
dent. But before IL could be carried
into effect George III. Thomas, the
senior Major General, died, and Han.
cock, going up one grade, was no longer
the junior Major General, and 30 the
law could not reach him. Then the
Republicans, still led by Garfield, pass.
ed an act reducing the major generals
to three. This was signed by the Pres.
ident, but before il could be carried in 10
effect Meade died, and the major gene.
rails were reduced to three by God AL.

thorizing the President TO drop one of
the major generals. Before IL could be
carried out and Hancock be dropped,

be dropped. The man who survived

ways remain strangers. They have no
conception Of our state of society or our
political institutions, and have never
shown any ability or desire to understand
them, or to conform to our customs or
laws. They come here under contracts to
labor, which are really badges of servitude,
as they do not receive themselves the
wages earned by them. They bring no
families with them, and they live on a
scale of economy which no American Ia
borer can endure. We do not believe that
struggle for existence should be inaugu-
rated in our country between the
great body of our people who rely
upon wages for their support and
the horde Of Chinese who will invade
our shores. The evil effects of Chinese
immigration are now only local, confined
principally to California, and with these it
is not claimed that Congress should or can
interfere; but it is the thought of this
minority that Congress should guard
against the future, and prevent an increase
of the evil from further large additions to
their number by immigration. In conclu-
sion, this minority would say that they
coincide with the almost unanimous opin-
ion of the citizens of California. as ex.
pressed at the polls, that Chinese immigra.
ton shall be checked, and would recon-
mend that Congress and the Executive
should at once inaugurate measures to re-
duce to a minimum their further influx.

mending the enactment of the Fifteen

TIE JEWS IN RUSSIA.

The old antipathy of the Russian Gov
eminent to the Jews has broken out again
with renewed virulence. 1t appears to
have begun with wild suspicious of Jewish
completely in the plots of NialHses-sus-
picions for which no warrant has been
shown, and which are almost certainly
without any foundation in fact. 1t has,
however, afforded an excuse for renewal
of the old prosecutions, and something like
a Jewish exodus from Russia seems to have
commenced It is evident that this
strange enmity to the jews Is alike bar
barous and dangerous. Russia has before
now been made to feel the disastrous effects
of her injustice and persecution at critical
junctures, and there is no question that
the hour Of retaliation for her victims will
strike again. When it is remembered how
large an influence the Jews WELD over
European finance it will be seen that a
Government over head and ears in debt,
and likely to be plunged into a colossal
war within twelvemonth, is practically
at the mercy of the men who control the
money market. The fate of a Russian
loan can at any time be decided by few
of these financial leaders, and the national
spirit among the Jews is so powerful that
their action in such matter is by no
means improbable. In fact it may be said
that there is scarcely any other people in
Europe who could not be outraged by
Russia with less serious consequences than
the Jews. They can strike back with
tremendous force, and in way which
puts all defense out of the question.

tons, are competent to review the con-
illusions of the engineers? To think such
thing possible would be to arraign the
common sense of those concerned. The
truth is, that the facts of the case are es-
tablished beyond controversy, and it is not
practicable for the Legislature to reopen
the conclusions which have been reached
by scientific methods. The Legislature
may satisfy itself that the representations
of the extent of the evil have not been ex-
aggerated, but having done that, it is not
competent to 90 behind the reports of the
State Engineer and Colonel Mendell.
Nothing could be more fatal to successful
action in the premises than such course.
All that the Legislature can properly do
now is to determine how the relief meas
ures shall be arranged and paid for. This
the people demand at its hands, and it
should not at this late day endanger all
remedial legislation by abortive and IRA
tional hesitation in accepting and acting
upon the solid conclusions of engineering
science

WHEREAS, The warm stream OF the Atlantic, be-

ating the temperate climate Of that country which
otherwise would have the cold climate of Labrador !;
and whereas, il is admitted scientific fact that
tide-leve canal Of sufficient width across Panama
would change the course of the Gulf stream, and
thereby freeze out the English-speakng nation !;
and whereas, the United States would thereby lose
its chief foreign market, which loss would not be
counterbalaneed by the new markets opened by the
interoceanic canal; therefore
