father was seated. The weight, how
ever, was go great that his father wa,

the'bottom, nearly every bone in bis
body being broken.

ties which we're behind the bill in It's
passage through Congress, nor Of the
effect upon his own popularity which
the frank expression OF his disap.
prevail might have. There has been
4 sort of madness about this anti
Chinese legislation which has blinded
many Congressman to 4 sense Of its
wrongs; and it would have been easy
for time-serving politician, such as
many people have chosen to con-
slider the President to have yielded to
this feeling aud allowed the folly of
Congress to take its course. But
President Arthur has chosen rather
to be true to his convictions Of right,
and has reckoned it matter of greater
importance that the National policy
should be consistent and honorable
than that the Republican party should
out bid the Democratic for votes on
the Pacific coast.
The anti-Chinese legislation, in the
form in which Congress passed it,
and it probably would be in any other
form, was harsh and rigorous, anti.
American in character, discreditable
to the nation adopting it and insult
ing to the nation against whose peo-
pie it was aimed-alike foreign to
the established usage and policy Of
the United States and in conflict with
our treaty obligations. Hence we
consider it very fortunate thing that
the President has interposed his veto
to prevent such bill from becoming
a law.

A great deal is being done to gel
a pardon for Mason, and perhaps the
circumstances justify the public in
their action. But we believe if Scar
gent Mason was of sound mind when
he fired at Guiteau, his sentence,
though perhaps too severe, is just.
But from the accounts of those days
we greatly doubt his sanity at that
time; and in any case there are extern
uating circumstances, such as, the
heated state of public opinion, the
coarse ribaldry of the prisoner, and
the like, which ought not to be over
looked in passing sentence upon him.
But that monster petition should be
presented requiring his immediate
pardon seems absurd, and unwise.
For unless the theory of insanity can
be fairly substantiated, though he
had great provocation, he committed
a great crime, and deserves prompt
and suitable punishment.

cause the Republicans from the West

of the opposition during the after

going for the other candidates on
