had the funeral of a saint thanks to the

He had led alife of fcomparative security,

through treachery. And that was the

President Arthur vetoed the Chi

hat the suspension of the coming of
Chinese labors to this country for
twenty years would be breach of
our national faith as pledged to China
N the treaty of 1880. He reviews the

sreaty, to show that neither Of the con-
parties contemplated the pas

Of immigration for twenty years, or
thought that such period would be a
reasonable suspension or limitation
He adds that he is deeply convinced
Of the necessity for some Legislation on

the transit across the United States. of

policy too, be thinks, require US to sus-
pend the immigration of Chinese labor
ers for less period than twenty years.
