The announcement that Mr.. Edmunds final
ly and positively declines to accept a place on
the United States Supreme bench brings a
universal feeling of qualification, not unmixed
with a certain sense of relief. That Mr.. Ed
mundss eminent talents would adorn and
strengthen the highest Judicial tribunal of the
country admits Of no question; but he is the
man of all others whom the country needs in
the Senate. No man now or recently in pub
lie life has e1erted SO powerful and beneficial
an influence in shaping important legislation
as he has done, and his loss from the Senate
would be an irreparable misfortune.

cult that he might have the summer as a holi-
day. A rare compliment, indeed.

The House Of Representatives engaged in
a debate on the Senate Chinese bill, Wednes-
day, but did not reach vote. 1t is evident
however, that the hill will pass substantially
as il came from the Senate. Mr. Tyler of
this district spoke on the question, stating
that be would like to vote for some bill to re-
strict the importation of Chinese, but this
bill, he said, was one which would prohibit
rather than restrict Chinese immigration, and
he did not regard it as within the treaty Of
1881. He would favor a suspension of Chinese
immigration for FIVE years or for ten years at
the outside. The Senate bill imposes severe
penalties on any shipmaster who brings
Chinese laborers to this country for 20 years,
prohibits the naturalization of Chinese, and
provides that the classes of Chinese except
ed by the treaty of 1881 from such prohibi-
ton, such as merchants teachers, students,
travellers, diplomatic agents and laborers who
were in the United States on the 18th of No
vember, 1880, shall be provided with pass
ports from the Chinese government.

Gen. Banks, who has been at Washington
and had a long interview with the President
says that there ought to be no grounds
for complaint because of the Presidents de-
lay in filling appointments. Such complaints
emRnate solely from the Office seekers, and the
President realizes, what the politicians do not
seem to realize, that every appointment to
even a small post Office is closely scrutinized
by the people as never before. The respect
for the memory of Garfield has much to do
with this, and the President has great respect
for this feeling, and for this reason makes SO
few changes.

Mr.. Conklings letter to the President de-

satisfaction that you and the Senate deemed

On Tuesday the House of Representatives
passed the Edmunds Anti-Polygamy bill in
just the form it came from the Senate. 1t
now goes TO the President, who will doubt
less approve it, when it will be law. The
bill passed by a vote OF 1919 to AZ, and to the
discredit of their party it must be said that
the opponents were Democrats, with q single
exception. The provisions of this important
measure have been fully summarized in our
columns, and it need only be added that it is
believed thatit will be abundantly adequate to
wipe out the twin relic of barbarism"

Mrs. Howe, the swindling manager of the
Ladies' Deposit" in Boston, has been SEN
fenced to three years in the house of correc-
ton. This woman, it will be remembered,
traded upon the credulity and cupidity of her
fellow-women by opening bank of deposit
and offering to pay 9G per cent. per Rnnum
Is per cent. monthly, in advanced upon all
funds lodged in her hands. 1t was said that
women were not the only gulls attracted to
Mrs. Howe's net but she kept no books, and
many of her victims declined to show their
folly to the public, so that nobody knows how
large a wreck the bank made when it finally
fell. tits estimated, however, that Mrs. Howe
got her hands upon at least 81, 600, 600 in de
posits, which sum was largely made up from
the slender earnings of poor women to whom
their loss was calamity. Although an igno
rant and illiterate person, Mrs Howe planned
her scheme with great ingenuity and bold
ness, and her adventure forms a very curious
contribution to criminal annals.

a REMARKABLE STATEMENT.-When the
agent for one of the railroad companies was
before the State Board of Equalization last
Saturday, it was evolved in the debate rela-
tive to values, and acknowledged to bs fact
by members of the Board, that in assessing
railroads the Board assessed the same at
what it conceived to be the actual cash val.
ues, j. g. 100 cents on the dollar; that at the
time the Board was under the impression that
it possessed the power to cite property owners
to appear before it, and to increase the value
of the assessed value of their property If too
low but the celebrated Wells Fargo de.
cision was rendered by the Supreme Court,
and that shut off action by the Board upon
individual assessments. The railroad prop
erty was thus assessed for 100 cents on the
dollar. while other property assessed by local
officers was valued at not to exceed 60 cents
on the dollar. The result was striking in
equality, and no remedy fer it.
