THK Chinese Congressional bill that
proposed to suspend emigration of
Chinese that work at muscular labor
was vetoed by President Arthur last
Wednesday The President vetoed
the bill chiefly on the ground that it
is in violation of freafy obligations be
tween the United States and China.
The Democracy seem to be rejoiced
over the veto. They claim that it will
give them number of Congressman
at the coming fall election. The
erring brethren are constantly on the
lookout for something to turn up for
them They believe that now some
thing has turned up that viii give
them an additional number of Con-
gressmen. The Chinese question to
them is q sweet-smelling rose. ANY
other question would smell as sweetly
if the fragrance contained a dim pros
pect Of power, but the unterIifed do
not care particularly about the ques-
ton; if they were rs earnest as they
profess to be, they would unite in
Congress and ask that the treaty be-
tween the United States and China
be repealed 1t is the treaty obliga-
tions that caused ex-President Hayes
to veto an anti Chinese bill, and it is
the treaty obligations that caused
Arthur to veto the latest bill by Con
gress. 1t is nice bait that the er-
ring brethren have set to catch voters
with. Once the Democracy move
unitedly for the repeal of the treaty
between China and this government,
they will get credit for an earnest
effort to shut out the Chinese, but so
long as they insist on the passage of
Congressional bills that violate inter
national treaties, and on such sham
efforts seek to make votes in the re-
spective Congressional districts, SO
long will they be putting themselves
in position that does injustice to
themselves, and injustice to the in
telligenee of the American people.
Both ex-President Hayes and Presi-
dent Arthur point the way, which is,
"repeal the treaty that was solemnly
ratified by both nation, and after that
the door can be closed without vio-
lating the honor of the nation"
The wicked situation of the people
