ISornER Axrr-CnISEsE BILL.

ANOTHER AsTE-CnISEsE BILL.
The universal speculation on the Pa
ci6c Coast is now, can another bill, IN 9
form that will meet the Presidents views,
be introduced and passed during this SEES
sion , The Presidents veto was sustained
in the Senate and the first bill thereby
buried. An analysis Of the vote by
which the veto was sustained is sugges-
tive. 1t is different from that by which
the bill passed. The r~oll-call shows that
only six Of the twenty-nine who voted
to pass the bill over the veto are Repub-
licans-one from California, one from
Nevada, two from Colorado, one from
Wisconsin and one from New York.
Not one of the twenty-one who voted
the other way is a Democrat. Seven
Democrats, who would have voted to
pass the bill, are paired with seven Re-
publicans who would nave voted other
wise. Thus, counting those who voted
or were paired, thirty Democrats and SIX
Republicans were for the bill, and twen-
ty-seven Republicans and Davis OF Hi
nois-and one Democrat-were against
il. This makes it almost certain that
Senator Miller's new bill, amended to ten
instead Of twenty years of restricted m
migration, will pass the Senate, as the
six members from the Pacific Coast may
be counted on to vote with the unani-
nous Democrats. The affirmative vote
in the House may be somewhat reduced,
but it will not be SO changed as to pre-
vent the passage Of the bill. So far the
investigation of the new bills prospects
is easy. When it reaches the hands OF
him whom his Republican friends call
the accidental" sthe bullet-made Pres
ident," and whom in default Of his actual
presence they did not treat to a coat OF
tar and feathers, but merely hanged in
efigy at Reno-when it gets to him the
case becomes plain enough. Had the
accident " based his objections solely on
the twenty year clause the question Of
what he will do with it would be easy to
answer-he would sign it. But the
milk in the cocoanut is not that objec-
ton. He thinks we want more laborers
in the country. If they cannot be abb
sorbed on the Pacific Coast he says they
can be distributed advantageously in
other portions Of the United States. This
is wherein Nj. Arthur shows himself res
olute and bold. His advocacy of the
cause Of the ~monopolists who require
cheaper labor to fortify themselves
against the demands OF white men and
women for living wages, will not cease
with his powerful argument for the first
veto. 1t will be sufficiently strong
for a second abuse Of the Elk.
ecutive privilege. And then the in.
f1uence of the Chinese ambassador with
the President must not be overlooked.
