AT THE time that Gen. Skubeloff
made his now celebrated talk about
that forthcoming unpleasantness be-
tween the Russians, or Slavs, and the
Germans, or Teutons, the LEADER
held that his speech was inspired by "A
higher authority in Russia. The st.
Petersburg correspondent Of the Lon
don Times says that Gen. Ignatieff is
the man who pulled the string. Russia
is In the hands of its civil and military
officers, aud they are directing affairs
to personal ends. The car and his i'm
mediate aides are too busily engaged in
keeping up the cheerful habit of living
to worry about their affairs. The car
especially, is only too glad to be able to
go to bed without waking up dead, and
to eat his dinner without going to his
grave in. consequence. Foreign affairs
are running just as suits the caprice or
%chicanery of the officers in power--the
men who profit by conflict, desolation
and the shedding Of blood.

THE ANrI.oHINEsR nrL1.

This bill is even more famous than
house bill Is, which stirred the seventh
legislative assembly and the people of
Wyoming to the very bottom of their
feelings. The bill was introduced by
Senator Miller, of California. 1t provides
from and after expiration of 80 days
after the passage of the act, and until
the expiration of 20 years after its pass
age, the coming of Chinese laborers to
the United States shall be suspended,
and prescribes a penalty of imprison-
ment not exceeding one year, and a fine
of not more than $500, against the
master OF any vessel who brings any
Chinese laborer to this country during
that period. 1t furthur provides that
the classes Of Chinese who are excepted
by the treaty from such prohibition,
such as merchants, teachers, students,
travellers and diplomatic agents and
Chinese laborers who were in the Unit
ed States on the 18th of November, 1880,
shall be required, as a condition for
their admission, to produce q passport
from the government of China, person.
ally Identifying them and showing that
they individually belong to n Of the
permitted classes, which passports must
have been endorsed by a diplomatic rep
r%esentative OF the United States in
China, or by a United States consul at
the port of departure. 1t also provides
elaborate machinery for carrying out
the purposes of the act and the addi-
tional sections prohibit the admission
Of Chinese to citizenship by the United
States or state courts and CONSTITUTES
the words: "Chinese laborers" to mean
both skilled and unskilled laborers and
Chinese employed in mining.

THERE are a few Chinese citizens of

ing any state court or court Of the I'm

citizenship. Chinese citizens will prob
ably be wonderful curiosities hereafter.

AbandOnS His Rules.

The subcommittee of the Neto Era's
committee of seventy-twO has eX-
amined the new rules proposed for its
party in this county and makes a report
in which the rules are " damned with
faint praise and with very fOrcible OBJ
jections. The editor of the New Era,
who helped to make and recommend
these rules, discovers, by means of this
committee, exactly what the INTELLI-
GENCER long ago pointed out to him
and his fellow Republicans, that these
rules are too complicated for the people.
that minority candidate may be n0mi-
mated under them, that they are a step
back toward the old delegate system, and
that the proposition to hold the next
primary election or count its results
under them, when their adoption is SUBJ
mitted at the same time, is absurd, ille-
gal and tends to party anarchy. It
would have been more to the credit of
the NeW Era EDITORS political sagacity
had he discovered and proclaimed these
things before he Joined in recommend
ing the rules. He is now put into the
position of opposing what he SO lately
helped to recommend. Although wise
men change their minds" and he
now sees the trap into which his
political enemies had beguiled him, It IL
made all too plain that he had tho wool
drawn over his eyes completely. He
