AND NOW FOR THE SENATE.

A last desperate effort was made in the
Assembly yesterday to defeat all legisla-
ton on the debris question, but the OBJ
structionists were beaten, and the motion
to reconsider was rejected. The bill now
goes to the Senate, and we desire to
bespeak for it the favorable consideration
of that body. We hope that Senators
have followed the discussion of this mo-
mentous question closely enough to render
unnecessary reopening of it from the
beginning. and that they have already
recognized the necessity of action, and
have examined the Young bill sufficiently
to satisfy themselves that it is the best
solution the situation admits of. A better
measure could undoubtedly have been
framed if it had been possible to obtain
for it unbiased, dispassionate, and intelli-
gent consideration. But the force of
Ignorance, prejudice, stupidity, blind
selfshness and demagogism, proved
too strong for any merely rational
and statesmanlike scheme, and it was
found necessary to make concessions here
and there which gradually changed the
entire character of the proposition, and
made it the hybrid arrangement it is to-
day. Throughout the stormy contest,
however, the main remedial plan has been
resolutely retained, and this is after ali
the life of the bill. 1t provides for dams
and levees dams in the mountains, to
hold the coarse debris; levees in the val
leys, to confine the rivers and so increase
their velocity that they will carry down
the lighter debris. Fortunately this
groundwork has come scathless out of the
fierce fight, and the virtue of this lies in
the fact that it is in strict accordance with
the conclusions of the engineers. The bat
tie ragged most fiercely on the question of
raising the revenue, and after failing in
every other method agreement has been
reached on the composite compromise
plan now embodied in the bill. 1t
has been sought to make all who are
to contribute to the work pay in proper
ton to benefits and responsibilities. No
fairer mode of assigning assessments can
be devised. 1t makes those who have
produced the mischief, and those who are
to reap indirect but large benefits from
the remedies, pay the most And it rem
ders it possible Cor these classes to bear
their Just share of the burden by distrib-
uting the remainder of the charges over the
whole of the community. Experience has
shown that no other arrangement could
command the approval of the majority,
while this undoubtedly does so. 1t is the
only chance of effectual relief now remain
ing to the residents of the Sacramento
valley. They both solicit and demand its
enactment, and the Senate can therefore
commend itself to the people in no surer
way than by passing the bill as quickly as
possible, and transmitting it to the Gov
ernor for signature.

THE CHINESE FISHERMEN.

The Senate is having good deal of I'M
necessary trouble over the bill to prohibit
Chinese fishermen from plying their voca-
ton in the waters of the State. Senators
scarcely attempt to conceal their realiza-
ton of its utter unconstitutionalitv, and
yet they cannot bring themselves to take
manly and dignifed position upon it. 1t
has been proposed to get over the objection
of unconstitutionality by making the pro-
visions of the bill apply to all aliens. AS
the principal rivals of the Chinese fisher
men are Greeks, Italians, Portuguese, and
other foreigners, a large percentage of
whom are unnaturalized, it will be seen
that such an adjustment of the difficulty
would develop more trouble than it cured.
Moreover, the right of State to pass laws
with regard to any aliens which contra
vene the provisions of United States
treaties, is a question which Senators
would do well to ponder seriously before
they attempt anything of the kind.
The presumption is that this bill is really
sought In the interests of the foreign fish
ermen referred to, however, and if that
is the case it is clear that the change
proposed would efiectually defeat its origi-
nal purpose, besides extending the area
of know-Nothing legislation indefinitely.
The Senate is, perhaps, anxious to show it's
anti-Chinese sentiment as emphatically as
possible, but it ought to be able to perceive
that this cannot be done by the passage of
statutes which are sure to be declared null
and void as soon as they are taken into the
Courts. Such prohibition as is here pro-
posed is simply impracticable, and it is
waste of time to debate it seriously. So
long as the Burlingame treaty stands, it
will be useless to attempt any kind of in
vidious discrimination against the Chinese.
Probably it is not necessary to enlarge
upon the reasons which render it inexpe-
dent to include all other aliens in these
prohibitions, but they are sufficiently
strong to compel the abandonment of any
such ideas by all who wish to avoid be-
coming laughing stocks for the rest of the
country.
