THE IOCNgT TREE.

| Besides its direct destruction of vegetation, the

cutie possible that certain unusual meteorological
| conditions have given unusual encouragement 10
some forms of insect activity; but it Is equally
probable that the drouth has discouraged and de-
feated the plans Of other pests which thrive best in
moist surroundings.
The common locust-tree of this latitude (Robnia
pseudacacia) is babtually prcyed upon by divers
grnbs and beetles which perforate its bark, suck
its SAP lay eggs in its seed. families in Its
pods burrow into and eat up the soft inner bark,
and drill through the sapwooi There is small
red worm which lives on the pth OF young trees

spongy swelling and finally leaving them to be
broken by the wind, while beautifully spotted

THE CHINESE IND THE FISHERIES.


To say "Chinese without saying Chinese
| is exceedingly difficult, yet this is constantly
| recurring problem in CalifOrna. The terms of
the Burlngame Treaty, and the spirit of the
late Constitutional Amendments and civil
rights laws, tend strongly toward the principle
that all fOreign-bOrn persons residing in this
country shall be treated alike-that distinctions
in opportunity for advancement, founded on
mere difference Of race, shall not exist. Hence
California in her efforts to legislate against the
Chinese, must constantly endeavOI to find
language which, while it apparently treats
persons of all nativites alike shall in actual
operation discriminate against the Monaghan.
That this is difficult may be seen anew in the
recent decision of tho United States Circuit
Court upon the law of California which forbids
the fisheries of the State to persons who are not
electors. That law was very careful not to say
"Chinese." Its language was: All aliens inca
apable of becoming electors of this State are
thereby prohibited from taking any fish for the
"purpose of selling or giving to another person
to SELL" Now the Constitution OF the State, and
the naturalization laws of Congress as con-
strued by many authorities, Pacific Coast jurlsts
especially, exclude the Chinese from the priv-
lege of becoming citizens and electors, while
they admit whites of all natiOnalities and
Africans of every hue. Therefore there was
hope among those desiring TO reduce Chinese
competition to the minimum that this law
and another one passed at about the same time
forbdding any business licenses to be issued to
any alien not eligible to become an clectOr, would
be effective to exclude the Chinese from the
fisheries and from all licensed vocations with
ont restricting others. Why the privilege to
90 a-fshing should be 80 inseparabIy connected
with the elective franchise might not be very
clear if the motive were not understood it is
to exclude the Chinaman by indirectiOn, since he
may not be excluded by name.
The Circuit Court has pronounced the statute
clearly unconstitutional and violation of the
treaty. All Chong. disregarding the law, went
a-fshing in San Pablo Bay, and offered his
catch for sale in the market Of the town. For
this the California courts sentenced him to
thirty days imprisonment He applied to the
Circuit Court to be discharged, and the appi-
cation was granted. Judge Sawyer declares it
impossible to say that, under such laws, the
Chinese enjoy the same privileges as are en-
joyed by the subjects of the most favored
nation, which the treaty requires, or that the
State does not deny to them that equal protec-
ton of the laws which the Fourteenth Amend
ment secures.
There is an unintended mischief in the law
which the Court is not slow TO point out.
Women can not, in California, be electors hence
these laws would forbid all foreign born omen

The failure of the Hyde Team at Wimbledon
is an unpleasant surprise, inasmuch as Ameri-
can rflemen seemed to have formed the habit
of winning at all times and in all places.
Under the circumstances success was scarcely
to be expected. On the night before the
match one of the crack shots was expelled
from the team in consequence of petty
quarrel respecting one of the prizes, and bis
place was taken by an associate, who was COM
PEELED TO shoot with borrowed rifle. American
teams have generally been distinguished for
thoroughness OF organization. On this oc-
casion the men did not work together and the
consequence was that they were beaten by
seventy-nine points. Mr. Hyde has made
himself too prominent in this affair from first
to last The match was blunder, and the
men who shot with him ought not to have
allowed themselves to be dragged into it by
his opportunities. The proper authorities
to arrange international contests OF this
kind are the National Rifle Associations. Be-
fore the American Team went to Dollymount
the Directors of the American Rifle Associa-
hot no ippYnauipnt
for the team to shoot at Wimbledon, and ac-
cordingly yesterdays contest cannot be re-
garded as anything more than private
match arranged by Sir Henry Halford and
the irreprcssibe Mr.. Hyde.
The political situation in Great Britain is so
complex that Mr.. Smaley's weekly reviews
are Indispensable He telegraphs that the
Government has slightly improved It's posi-
ton, and that the Irish Eviction bill will
probably have a large majority on the third
reading. In the House of Lords the opposi-
ton to it viii be led by Lord Cairns,
although Lord Beaconsfield himself may
emerge from retirement to harass the Lib
erals. How many Wings there are
in either House who are landlords first and
Liberals afterward will be proved by the
divisions of the next fortnight. Lord Har-
tington has shown that he is capable of rising
above the prejudices of privileged class and
facing the necessities of the party and of the
country. 1t is to be hoped that the other
Wing proprietors will listen to reason
and follow his advice rather than
the example of Lord Eansdowne
whose estate our special correspondent
in Ireland reports to be managed in the
harshest manner. Mr. Gladstone is conduct
ing the Liberal campaign with Old-time fire
and earnestness. His budget he saved himself
at narrow majority at critical moment In
the small hours, when the Whips did not sus-
pect there was any danger. The old cam
paigner has the enthusiasm of youth and the
endurance and energy of forty-odd.
