The San Francisco Examiner says
ss,The proposed new Chinese treaty is
NOW before the Senate of the United
States for action. That body is Demo-
cratic by a considerable majority until the
4tb Of March next. The question arises,
what ought it to do with the document
"Four courses are before Senators:
II, they may defeat it (2) they may rat
;fv II /; ~ they may suspend action upon
Il until the 4th of March, and leave it as
a legacy to Republicans to do what they
please with it AZ they may amend it.
"If they defeat it altogether, it will
always be pretended by Republicans that
IL would have accomplished all that was
requisite. If they ratify it, then Demo-
Gratis will be held to be partakers in the
responsibility OF its inevitable failure.
If they suspend it until the 4th of March
thew will still be required to take a stand
in regard to it at that time. The only
remaining course is to amend it. Dem
ocratic Senate has it in its power to deal
with it a~ccdfding to the clear-cut and
nrecise terms of tie party platform. 1t
should be made absolutely conclusive in
its exclusion of Chinese, and a special
proyiso should be added, like that at
tached to the Burlingame treaty, that
nothing therein contained shall be taken
to confer the right Of naturalization.
"We are not suppliants at the hands
Of the Chinese Government, in which at
titude the treaty seems to place us. We
are a sovereign nation endowed with full
rights of regulating immigration into
W country, and Of saying whom we
will admit to llow-citizenship with our
selves. The sooner we assert our sover-
eighty and declare our independence Of
China the better will it be for u
try's good. 1t is idle to say that such a
course would jeopardize our commerce
with China. The truth is that commerce
is very much Of a bugbear. It can hard
ly be said to have any real existence.
China has considerable m with
us, but we have very little with China.
We sell her almost nothing, for what is
credited to our statistics as exports to
China are really sold to British ports.
On the other hand, we are large pur-
chasers of teas. silks, etc., from Chinese
merchants. Our commercial relations
with China would not be changed mi
whit if we were to exercise our undoubted
right of at once declaring that we pro
posed to constitute ourselves sole judges
of what number and class, if any, Of
Chinese shall be admitted"

IMMEESE
Nevada's NightingaIe.

l3ASA ~ AsoFcAllc.l
Before us W. have a copy of the Gazette
D'Italian, printed and published at Lu-
nedi, Italy, OF date Dec. ~, and q copy Of
the La Vedetta, published at Florence,
Italy, Of date Dec. 20. Each Of these pub
LEGATIONS contain criticisms Of our Miss
Emma Wixom, known in Europe as Miss
Emma Nevada. Both employ the strong
est words to express the enthusiasm and
excitement caused in those cities over the
musical talent developed in Miss Nevada.
She gave ten representations in Florence,
the four last to 5000 persons nightly, and
thousands were turned away that could
not get standing room. No artist has ever
had such success in Italy as Emma is now
enjoying, and all the great artists have
sung there. The papers say she has to be
seen and heard to fully realize her excel
lence. In Florence Saturday night, Jan.
1, she was called t~wenty-four times before
the curtain, following each rondeau in LA
Somnambula," and the excitement and en-
thusiasm is mentioned as having been inn
mense. Handkerchief were tied to ends
of canes, and umbrellas, hats and hand
kerchiefs were waved and shaken, and the
whole 5000 persons present arose to their
feet and shouted s'Brava, bravo little Ne
vada, the wonder of the world" ''Patti
can now box herself" "Patti can take a
back seat, Nevada is the nightingale Of
the world" and hundreds of other express
sions Of the same import.
When she left the theater the night indi-
Gated above the police had to clear the way
for the carriage conveying her to her
home. Thousands of persons had sur
rounded the door and carriage to get a look
at the great vocalist, Nevada. The older
residents Of Florence stated they had never
seen such an excitement during the fifty,
sixty and seventy years residence in that
city by any artist.
such a success, among strangers and in
q foreign land, must be pleasing to Emma.
She has labored hard for several years past,
and has reached the zenith of her ambi-
ton. The town of Austin-the town in
which she grew from childhood-are also
gratified to hear that the town has fur
nished the greatest vocalist Of the present
age.
