THE OPIUM QUESTION.

Though the rumored opposition of GER
tain New York merchants to the new
Chinese commercial treaty, on the ground
that it will give monopoly of the opium
trade to England, is untenable from the
standpoint of American obligations and
duties, the inference drawn by those mer-
chants as to the tendency of the treaty is
undoubtedly correct. The prohibition
placed upon the trade in opium as regards
the United States is liable to have pre-
cisely the effect pointed out, and this the
RECORD UNION demonstrated when first
the outline OF the treaty was disclosed.
Of course it is possible that the acceptance
by the United States of such prohibition
may induce England to abandon the opium
trade, but we confess that we do not re,
gard this as in the least degree probable.
The revenues derived from the opium trade
are toe large to be abandoned now, and no
ministry would probably have the courage
to propose such a measure, particularly at
time when the removal of all foreign
competition promises to increase the profits
of the business,

THE SENATE AND THE BOARD OF
REGENTS.

The Senate has again, by a vote of 20 to
II, refused to confirm the nomination of
Mr.. Curtis to the Board of Regents. We
have already pointed out that the Repub-
lican members were putting themselves in
a very disoreditable position by the course
they had assumed in this matter, and we
are now compelled to say that by persist
ing in that course these members have
done still more foolish thing. 1t is not
merely question of the choice of a Re-
gent made by Governor Perkins. 1t is not
merely the will and Judgment of the Ex-
ecutive these Senators are resisting. 1t is
the will and judgment of the people Of
California It is true that their attitude
towards the Governor is the reverse of cour-
teous, and that in refusing or neglecting
to state the reasons for their action after
receiving his message they have been guilty
of grave improperly, but after all it is
the law of the State and the Constitution
of the State which they are so stubbornly
defying and it is therefore becoming a
serious question how far in this arrogant
contempt for both the organic law and
the statute branch of the Legislature
can proceed with IMMUNITY. Both the Con-
stitutien and the statute provide in the
most explicit terms that no political con-
siderations shall enter into the choice of
Regents of the University. There is no
possible escape from this direction. But
the Republican majority in the Senate has
VIGOROUSLY undertaken to trample upon
these provisions, and to force the Governor
of the State to make partisan appointments
to the Board of Regents. The Senate
majority is so fagrantly and utterly wrong
in this matter; it is so openly and
wantonly in opposition to the law, as well
as to common sense, that the Governor
cannot afford to give way. Indeed he is
compelled to adhere to his nomination
now that the Senate has deliberately made
it question of changing or violating the
law. We are amazed that the Republicans
should be so regardless alike of the inter-
ests of their party and their own reputa-
tions as to commit themselves to SO
untenable position as they have here
taken. They must not imagine that they
are evading the legitimate consequences of
their obstinacy by Withholding their
reasons for refusing to confirm the NOM
nation of Mr. Curtis, for the Governors
message made it impossible for them to
remain silent if they had any other than
political reasons for their declination; and
since they have not spoken it is now made
more certain than ever that they are insti-
gated by partisanship alone. 1t has there
fore come to be question whether twenty
partisan Senators can override the Consti-
tuition and the law, and bulldoze the Exec
utive into betraying his trust, or whether
the Constitution and the laws are para
mount. 1t is sufficiently evident that no
political capital can be made out of such a
situation by the Republican party, and
that it viii be called on to repudiate and
condemn the course of those who have thus
set themselves and their partisan narrow
ness of apprehension above the law.
