EtnlESP.

WASHINGTON, January 10th.-After a short per-
sonal explanation by Price, the funding bill came
up as unfinished business
Gillette made point that Newberry had stated
he had gone to a national bank of which he was
Director, to inquire how he should vote, and had
no right to vote on this question. He made the
point as matter of duty. The debate developed
the TACT that this was really national bank bill
Newberry was glad the point had been raised, as
it involved not only his vote but every vote on
every question Under Gliette's construction no
man who had used tobacco could vote on PROPOSE
ton to take the tax off tobacco. No rule could de-
prive any member of his vote.
Weaver said he would broaden the point so as to
include every member who held bank stock.
Haskell suggested including Greenbackers who
were eli interested in keeping up the national bank
agitation.
The Chair overruled the point, on the ground that
there was no precedent for depriviI member OF
the right to represent his constituency. He did not
believe the House had that right
Gillette appealed, and by vote of 22O to IS the
appeal tabled.
The amendments made by the Committee Of the
Whole to the funding till we're then considered
The per &C rate was agreed tU143 to l0i
The amendment making bonds $40 bones was
agreed t. also, making the rave certificates

ayes and Loes were ordered ON the amendment re-
curing the Secreta'y pay on bonds accrtng this
year all silver dollars and all gold over $50 900
now IN the treasury fer redemption purposes
The amendment requiring the Secretary Of the
Treasury to use for payment Of bonds this year all
standard silver dollars and all gold over $50 600
now IN the treasury, for redemption purposes, was
rejected by % majority.
Carlise's substitute for the fifth section, making
tie per cent the only bon receivable security
for National Bank circulation, Was agreed to-127
to 1l9.
Among the ayes was Berry, and among the noes

READING (Pa), January 19th.-A special
from Girardville. in the coal regions, gives an
account of terrible coasting accident, III
which two young ladies who were going
down hill on a sled were instantly killed.
Miss Mary Cardaf and Miss Honora Dough
erty were invited to join coasting party.
During the first trip the boy who was guiding
lost control of the sled, and seeing his danger
rolled off and escaped. The sled sped on

Cardaf was Drained and her face mashed to
a jelly. Miss Dougherty had her back

National Wcnnan Suffrage Association
Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, January 19th.-The follow
ing resolutions were submitted to the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association to-day:
Resolped, That suffrage or self.government is
national inalienable right, and not privilege that
any Government can confer or justly withhold.
Resolved, That we are a nation, and not a con-
federacy OF States. We all citizens, first of the
United States and second OF the States wherein we
reside. Hence the right of self-goyernment should
be guaranteed by the national Constitution to all
citizens that with the ballot in their hands they
may protect themselves everywhere under our
flag.
ResoLUed, That the women OF this nation have not
as much to fear from a sol d South as from white
male dynasty, in which they have no representation.
Res0lred, That the party that would triumph in
1884 would be wise to place woman suffrage plank
in its platform.
ReS0leed That to exempt the clergy ard church
property from taxation while laborng men and
women must bear the added burden, is to recognize
privileged order in the union of Church and State
an old monarchcal idea opposed to the secular ma
ture of our Government.
ReS0Eued That it is the duty of Congress to submit
to the several States constitutional amendment Sc
curing 10 woman citizens the right of suffrage.

States Senatorial contest now in progress in
the Legislature at Lincoln, Senator Paddock
leads all competitors, the third ballot to-day
giving him 40 votes, 50 votes being necessary
to elect. 1t is thought thst he will have
great difficulty TO pull through, as there is a
strong field against him. General Van
Wycke received Ii votes, Judge Dupdy IL,
Judge Post s, Judge Mason 9, Judge Weaver
10, and the rest scattering. There is strong
talk Of the opposition to Paddock combining
on Governor Vance. who in that event will

roo MANY posrpoNEMENrs.

We observe that the trial of Clarence
Gray, the murderer of Theodore Clancy,
has been again postponed, this time until
the Sd of February. These frequent post
ponements of murder trials are against the
interests of Justice that is to say, the
nublic interests. In nine cases out of ten
their only purpose is to defeat the law, and
we hold that it is the plain duty of the
courts to discourage and disallow them
whenever possible. This man Gray ought

TaE NEED FOR CONSISTENCY on THE
CHINESE QUESTION.

We think it fortunate that the Senate
declined to adopt the Davis resolutions on
the Chinese treaty until they had been
referred to the Committee on Federal
Relations, for had they been accepted
under the impulse of the moment the
effect must have been very damaging to
the credit of California consistency. These
resolutions object against the new treaty
that it does not prohibit the naturalization
of the Chinese. We shall not here enter
upon consideration of the soundness of
this objection, but shall proceed to exam
inc its implications. As matter of course
the adoption of such resolutions would put
California in the attitude of protesting
against the possibility of Chinese natural
ization. Now though the question appears
to have been quite strangely overlooked, 1t
IS really necessary to point out that this
position is in fiat contradiction to the
strongest arguments which have been made
on this coast against Chinese immigra-
ton, and as it is not to be sup
posed that such contradiction
would escape the observation of
our Eastern brethren, it is almost
Indispensable that it should be either re-
conciled or avoided OF course the aim of
all who propose measures bearing on this
subject is the same, but it does not follow
that the wisdom and appositeness of these
measures are equal. On the contrary, it is
notorious that the stupidity and folly of
ignorant extremists has in the past re-
peatedly bindered remedial legislation, and
strengthened Eastern prejudice against the
California view of tbs question. Of the
arguments against Chinese immigration
which have been formulated and presented
to the people of the East, there is only one
which has struck them as being really
formidable, and that is the repugnance of
the Chinese to assimilation with the people
of the United States. 1t has been argued
that the Monaghan brought here the civil
ization of China that he despised and
detested American civilization /; that he
neither understood nor cared to under
stand our institutions that our literature
and history were sealed to him
that he was in all essentials as the
inhabitant of another planet, and that he
had no inclination whatever to merge him.
self in the Anglo-Saxon community, or to
relinquish his Tartar civilization. 1t has
been commended that such being, bring
ing here no stable feminine elements, and
refusing to marry into the country.
could never represent anything more than
class of virtually servile labor, from
which no real advantage to the State could
be expected, and which could only force
and keep down the price of white labor.
These were philosophic and sober consider
atoms, which admitted of practical analy-
sis, which excluded vulgar and irrational
prejudice, which involved no fanciful
moral inferiority on the part of the Chi
nese, but which placed the objections to
them somewhat solidly upon the double
foundation of patriotism and political
ecanomy No other California argument
ever produced any conviction beyond the
Sierra. This one did.

states that the percentage of census increase
ia as follows
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-01-20

But now, if we are to take the Davis reso-
lutions as guide, it is proposed to throw
away all the advantages gained through
this argument, for it is proposed to repud-
late this argument. Heretofore we have
complained that the Chinese refused to as
simulate with US. Now it is declared thatwe
will not assimilate with the Chinese How
can we say that they decline to assimilate,
when we refuse to allow them to dose? And
if indeed they have no objection to as
similation; if indeed they are so eager to
become naturalized that nothing but posi-
tive prohibition deters them-what becomes
of the argument based on their inveterate
adherence to their own civilization Can
not the Senate perceive that if the Chinese
really seek and desire naturalization, the
most formidable reason for excluding them
is obviated? Let it once be understood at
the East that the Chinese are really
anxious to become American citizens, and
the opportunity will be afforded them.
Nor in that event can 1t be imagined that
the politicians would continue their attacks
upon them. They are safe game so long as
they cannot become citizens, but the law
which throws open the ballot box to them
would shut the mouth of every demagogue
in the land. As aliens and pariahs the
Cinnamon are everybodys target. spos.
sible voters they would be treated with the
same respect which other embryo citizens
enjoy. Now to declare that the Chinaman
is painting to be naturalized, and that he
can only be prevented by force, is to give
away the whole case in regard to him, and
to admit in effect that the prejudice against
him is unworthy of respect or attention.
1t is to say that he has in him all the
possibilities of good citizenship, but
that notwithstanding this we are
determined on excluding him. The Senate
ought to realize the mischievous conse-
quences of such course. If the opposi-
ton to the Chinese is degraded to mere
vulgar race prejudice it cannot be made to
hold its ground. To place it ON the plane
of the Davis resolutions is, in our humble
opinion, an invitation to Congress to leave
the naturalization question open. 1t would
not be possible to create more disastrous
impression than that which these resolu-
lions are certain to convey. They would
confirm all the worst impressions of the
Eastern zealots, and at the same time 81
lence those who because they have thus far
treated this question with studied modera-
ton, have almost alone succeeded in pro-
curing hearing in the Atlantic States.
We hope that the Senate will proceed very
cautiously in this matter.
