THE CHINESE BILL.

The Chinese bill has again passed
the house in modified form and will
probably pass the senate to-day; it is
now in such 4 form as to receive the
executive approval.
This measure receives our decided
approval, whatever may be said of
the consistency Of the Republic in
thus refusing to admit the Monaghan
race, while protesting to be an asylum
for all peoples. Craftsmanship does
not always consist in being consistent,
but it does consist in doing what is
best for the greatest good of the
greatest number OF the citizens of a
country, and IN doing this it does not
follow that we should do the best for
other nations or peoples differing as
widely as do the Chinese from the
Teutonic race to which We all belong,
whether we are Of English, German
or scandinavian extraction. That the
European or American laborer of
European extraction cannot compete
with the Chinese lahorer successfully
is a self-evident truth, anil maintain
his family and educate his children in
accordance with the ideas and neces-
stiles of modern civilization. There.
fore it follows that, by brute force If
need be, it is not only our right but
our duty to prevent such competition
on American soil. There is q law of
nature which demands the survival
Of the tittest and best of all races,
whether Of the animal or the human
Believing as we do that that branch
of the Caucasian race which spread
northvestward from Asia Minor over
Europe has so far raised itself to the
highest scale in the plane Of civilian
tion, and is the best and tittest to sur
vive, we therefore have no sympathy
| with that sickly sentimentalism of
the would-be statesmen of the New
England States who would contain
nate their OWN race AND risk its adj
vancement by association with a race
whose chief credit is in being able to
subsist on what q white man would
starve on and to herd together and
live like swine.
