The question of the desirability of un-
restricted Chinese immigration is one
that by force of circumstances is of pres
ent social and economic importance to
but small fraction of the country :;
hence it naturally impresses the majority
of those who discuss it as matter rather
for abstract speculation than for present
action. The only section of the country
that has had an opportunity of studying
the matter from practical standpoint is
surprisingly unanimous in public opin-
ion thereon, and this opinion is
entitled to fair consideration and
much weight from those who view
it theoretically. 1t must be borne
in mind that further immigration of
these people is opposed, not solely by
those with whom the imported labor
competes, but by the very classes who
will lose the advantages if such there be,
of the competition which it engenders.
In fact, the weakest argument for the ex-
clusion of the Chinaman is that of pau
perizing labor. Ifthat were all we should
not find employers capitalists and hu-
manitarians on the Pacific coast practi.
cal unit against further immigration. The
true and unanswerable argument is that
the Chinaman who comes TO our shores
in search of employment is in no sense
an immigrant.
He comes to this country in different
guise from the true immigrant. He seeks
no home for himself and family he flies
not from the tyranny of his own land he
does not understand or care about free
institutions; in word, he does not come
to be an American citizen. He comes as
a fisherman ventures upon the sea to
cast his net and by patient toll extract
enough from the riches of this land to
provide for his wants at home, no more
wishing to cast in his lot with us forever
than the sea-faring man to abide in the
depths of the sea. His home is in China;
his affections, his religion, his family are
there he reveres its institutions and its
civilization, and despises ours, and he
brings them with him and obstinately
cherishcs them in our midst. Such i'm
migration we have right to exclude,
and we can afford to wait until the Chi
nese knock at our doors as aliens from
their own country before discussing
whether as true immigrants they are de-
simble.

The Chin on the shoulder.

That renowned political peacemaker,
Alexander Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, represents ex-Secretary Blaine as
being eager for a fray with President
Arthur, but says "he cannot force the
battle, for il must come from Arthur; but
when IL does come, as come IL must, he
will welcome it." What q pity that it
must come from Arthur. 1t is so tedious
for Mcclure to wait But he says come
it must" So there is some way that
Alexander sees by which the President
can be made to open the fight. My!
what fun it will be. 1t is suggested that
the President might be made to take the
initiative by having his hat knocked off
some Sunday on his way to church. If
Mcclure can only get his champion up
to that point the President would most
likely pick up his hat or allow it to be
done. That would be ample provocation
to Mr.. Blaine, because it would be in the
nature of rebuke to him for having
knocked the hat off in the first place. If
this did not seem clearly enough to prove
the Presidents quarrelsome disposition,
Mcclure & Co. could explain that Blaine
knew he was bound to have the row at
some time, and thought the sooner it was
done with the better. In all this it
would be well for Mcclure to consult Mr..
Blaine, who may not see as clearly rs he
does that fight is indispensable either
to his comfort or his prosperity.

with crime. They are denied trial,

Mr., Lowell inquiries of Lord Granville
on what charge Hart is held. Lord Gran
Vile replies that he will not tell, but begs
Mr.. Lowell to believe that Hart Is guilty of some.
thing or other. Thereupon Mr.. Lowell telegraphs
to Washington that he "does not believe that
either Of the two is more innocent than the ma
jority of the persons who have been arrested" In
nocent Of what2 1t is not MIR. Lowells part to ex-
press any opinion as to the innocence or guilt of
the imprisoned American citizens His duty is to

rights Mr. Lowell is charged, was hard enough te.

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has of late done no
greater service than incosing to its subscribers
proofsheets of HdperS HeeEiy for January 80 1875,
in which appears the celebrated cartoon by Mast,
which represents Whitelaw Reid parading in the
costume of bandit, with copy of the New York
Tribune of January T. 1875 upon which Is inscribed
the famous letter which more than intimated the
wish that President Grant should be assassinated.
The cartoon is one of the best and most apt eyer
produced by Mast. In connection with the cartoon
an article by Eugene Lawrence, on President
Grant and His Assailants' is reproduced. In
this article Mr.. Lawrence plainly refers
to the New York Tribune, and saws :
A journal In New York plainly
demands his (Grants) assassination" This same
Whitelaw Reid and this same New York Tribune

The dississippi River I,oveos

Why should not the Treasury be emp
tied, if necessary to restrain within
limits the roaring flood of the Mississippi
River? The valley it waters is the heart
of the continent, and will have II popula-
ton in time which will not have to ask
as iavors what it may demand rs rights,
for its representatives will be numerous
enough to vote down opposition. 1t is
amazing to see men adhering to some
threNdbare prejudice or opinion on such
question. If engineering skill can de-
wise any method whereby the mighty rush
of the waters of the Mississippi can be
guided to the Gulf within fixed limits,
and life and property be thus secured
in the States on either side of
its now treacherous banks, what bet
ter direction can public expenditures
take? The United States has given away
nearly half the public domain, and
virtually given away sixty millions of its
bonds to build railroad across the con-
tinent fora handful ofprivate individuals.
If n dozen men can thus be made mil
lonaires and allowed to fix the tolls
from ocean to ocean over roads built for
and given to them by the people, cannot
the same generous Government expend

watercourse between the North and

vandal for their destruction?

Among the recent acquisitions of the Corcoran

in Norfolk in 1928. A portion of his carly
manhood was passed In Philadelphia where

his great merits found ready recognition and

exposition. De Montalant died in Rome, about
five years ago, leaving reputation that time will

1t is matter of some consequence to
the country that Congress should decide
whether grants of land made to railroads
upon condition that such roads shall be
built are to be treated as unconditional
grants. In other words, whether land
granted to aid in the construction of q
railroad can be appropriated by the
grantees without any road being built.
The railroad corporations were allowed
to frame their own laws, and to impose
only such conditions as they felt willing
to agree to. Can it be that they are to be
allowed now to laugh at those conditions,
and tell you-first, that new legislation is
necessary to carry into effect the original
law, and second, that they have the
power and will prevent such legislation :?
Would it be regarded as communism to
protest against such conduct? Would it
be warning upon property rights for the
Government to resume the possession of
lands which were granted only on condi-
tions, when those conditions have re-
mained unfulfilled for years? This is
matter which neither individuals nor
parties can afford to trifle WITH
