THE CORPORATION CHINESE BILL.

AT last the Legislature has worried
through an anti Chinese bill. Corporations
are forbidden to employ Chinese under
penalties. Why this prohibition should
not have been made general is not appar-
ent, for the law would have been just as
valid and effective, and the members who
employ Chinese themselves would have
had no more ground for apprehension than
they have now. The bill is in fiat viola
ton of the Burhngame treaty, and when
it is taken into the Courts for interpreta-
ton we have no doubt that it will be de-
clared unconstitutional. There is no
Judgment in the enactment Of such
statutes, for in the end they only
serve to infame the already far too
heated sentiment against the Chinese, and
they effect nothing If the Legislature
had selected two or three of its best men,
bers, and appointed them as a committee
to draw up temperate but forcible appeal
to Congress on the Chinese question,
enumerating all the evils the State has
suffered from the presence of these people,
and putting the case clearly and at the
same time respectfully, the effect would
have been very much more salutary than
that of all the bulldozing anti-C Chinese
waste-paper laws that can be passed from
now till the close Of the session.

AN EVIDENCE OF ADVANCING CIVIL
IZATION SD.

The New York Times remarks upon the
steady and unmistakable growth among
American women in the Atlantic States of
a tendency to plumpness wholly foreign to
the earlier generations of Yankees. 1t says !:
"Our women do not look as they used to
twenty-five, or even fifteen, years since.
"Their proportions have visibly increased,
" as almost anyone may see who will use
his eyes. New York will serve as an ex-
"ample Formerly really stout woman
i" here was pretty apt to be a foreigner.
''Now stout women are very common, and
Ground, plump women of Anglo-Saxon
" blood and origin are conspieuously plenty.
The reality of this change may be ad-
mitted, and the question next arises, to
what is it attributable? In New England
it can hardly be thought that climate has
exercised any such tendency, and there
fore we must seek some other cause. We
have little hesitation in ascribing thechange
primarily to the progress of enlightenment
in the kitchen. A generation ago the art
Of cooking was in very low state, and
dyspepsia and kindred diseases were the
rule rather than the exception in New
England. During the last quarter of a
century, however, more wholesome methods
of preparing food have been brought into
general use, with the inevitable result of
improving the blood, and consequently the
breed, of the American people. In the
great West, where the tendencies toward
generous sustenance were encouraged by
the bounty OF nature, race of exception
ally robust and stalwart men and women
sprang up. In California the effect of
climate has been perhaps more marked
than anywhere else. In San Francisco
there has been raised people combining
the ruddy and clear complexion of the
English with the delicately cut features of
the Atlantic States Americans; thus
forming a peculiarly perfect and
handsome whole, and as re-
suit there is far greater aver
age OF feminine beauty in that city
than can be found outside of it, on the
continent. Here we have specially ia.
vOrable climate cooperating with an i'm.
proved order of food, and both together
have produced as fine physical results as
have been attained anywhere, and perhaps
finer There can be no doubt that the
traditional leanness and angularity of
American women is disappearing, and that
in the course of another generation there
will be very few traces of it remaining.
Good food, more sensible clothing, a bet
ter comprehension of the laws of health.
and the increased comforts which 60 with
the steady diffusion of prosperity among
the masses, must produce this result; and
it is even possible that half century
hence our posterity will be lanenting the
tendency to corpulence among the ladies,
as earnestly as the tendency to leanness
was deplOred twenty years ago.

it must do this without any of the adven-
titious aids it has had before, for men no
longer admit their appositeness. 1t must
take scientific ground or it will suffer
Judgment by default. A few of the most
clear-s:ghted defenders of Christianity |
have recognized the fact that religion |
which will not bear analysis is religion
to be discarded, and these have ex-
pressed a desire for a full and dispas-
sionate inquiry. That inquiry is in
deed now taking place, and it is
being conducted with minuteness and
a thoroughness characteristic of the
scientific research of the age. Of the re-
suits we do not now propose to speak, but
merely to point out that whatever it may
be the world will evidently accept and act
upon it, and this without regard to the
prejudices or feelings of those whose idols
and ideals may be shattered by the icono-
elastic hand of Science. The reality, the
universality, the determination, which
characterize the modern inquiry into the
foundation and superstructure not only of
Christianity but of all other religions, in
dictate the urgency of the demand for
an adequate defense of orthodoxy, if
such a defense be possible That it
mas not been offered yet is certain, for
the current of liberal thought has received
no check whatever, but on the contrary
acquires greater depth and volume and
swiftness as it rolls ON. If, therefore,
there remains to be said anything ON the
side of orthodoxy that can bring about
reaction, the time has come when it ought
to be said. To imagine, however, that at
this stage free inquiry can be stopped,
that the press can be muzzled, that
the old threats of ecclesiastical anathemas
can be successfully employed, or, last
and greatest error of all, that an appeal can
be taken to public opinion against the pro-
gress of unfettered discussion of all that
concerns Man, is to commit fatal blunder
The day of evasions, of enforced silence, of
intellectual thralldom, is over, and the age
of liberty in thought has been inaugurated.
No doubt those who cling to the old
schools, who are too old to change their
habits of thought, whose religious convic-
tions have become part and parcel of their
lives, will find the modern situation painful
and melancholy. To them the world will
seem to be going all wrong, and they will
shrink with honest repulsion from the ir-
reverent researches of our present critics
and scientists. But the press is bound
to reflect the spirit of the age, and
free inquiry in religious matters is
of that spirit. 1t is in the air, it pervades
every form of literature, it appears on
every side, as well in ephemeral as in per-
manent publications. 1t is no more posi-
bic to resist the movement successfully
than it was possible for Dame Darlington
to hold back the storm-swelled waves of
the Atlantic with her broom, and those
who try to escape the difficulty by re-
fusing to listen to the cry of the century
will be borne down in the press, and buried
in oblivion

Palliative Circumsfances-GirIS starved TO
Death - Seriously WOuBded-suIcide-
Wheat and Flour.

PORTLAND, February 13th.-At the exam
nation of K. NJ. johnson, for the killing Of
NJ. Crosserly at Monmouth, some palliative
circumstances were brought to light by the
testimony, which showed that the homicide
was justifable to a certain extent. Such be-
ing the case, johnson was held to answer on
a charge of manslaughter in the sum of
81 600. Bonds were furnished, and the ac
cused is at liberty.
From news Just received from Nehalem
valley. it is learned that a young girl named
Mabel Bachus, aged II years, persisted from
hunger few days ago. Owing to the fallen
timber from the recent wind-storm and the
heavy snow-storm, all communication with
the neiehboring settlements was cut off.
Bachus father of the girl, started for St.
Helens, the nearest point. He missed his
way on his return, and did not reach his
home for six days, and found his daughter
dying from hunger. A large force of men is
engaged in cutting the fallen timber and
opening a road to the nearest settlement in
Washington county, and thus restore COM
munication with that isolated section.
Yesterday man named Scotty Sharp ac-
cidentally or Intentionally shot a man named
James McNear at Cello, Wasco county
The ball penetrated the left breast Just above
the heart. The two men had been drinking,
and the particulars of the shooting are not
known, as no witnesses were present at the
time. McNear is lying in very critical
condition. Sharp was not arrested at last
accounts.
An old Scotchman, whose name could not
be sscertained, living near The Dalles, COM
mitted suicide yesterday by shooting himself
in the head. Deceased was sheep herder by
occupation and supposed to be partially in
sane.
It is difficult to give the exact figures which
local market to-day, quotations ranging all
the way from 81 81 to 81 50. Flour has re-
manned steady during the entire period of ex-
element through which the raw material has
passed, and offerings have been ample to
check any advance to correspond with the
rise in wheat. The stocksa at the mills and in
the hands of agents are reported good, with
no special demand

THE MONROE DOCTRINE AND THE
IESsEPS CANAL.

1t is said that President Hayes enter
tains very positive views as to the expedi-
ency of reasserting the Monroe doctrine
in connection with the interoceanic canal
scheme of Lesseps, and that he proposes
to address message to Congress on the
question, though in opposition to the po-
sition OF Mr.. Evarts. There does not an.
pear to be much room for controversy
on the proposition that any interoceanic
canal ought to- be under the control of
the United States. It would certainly be

San Francisco, February 18th. = The
Workingmen paraded again this afternoon,
about 500 strong, and visited the offices of the
Patent Brick Making Company and w. NJ.
Lewis & Co.. cigar manufacturers. AT both
places they were promised replies tomorrow.
They then returned to the sand lot and while
there dispatch was received from Sacra-
mento announcing that the Governor had
signed the bill prohibiting the employment of
Chinese by corporations. This was the
signal for prolonged cheering, and round
was given for the Governor. Another meet
ing will be held tomorrow, but it is probable
that the procession will be more of the nature
of parade than heretofore, and that visits
to corporations will be discontinued for that
day
