A CRIPPLED LAW.

The fraud of the Chinese authorities at
Canton has worked out the results its per-
petrators intended. All of the coolies who
arrived by the Picking have been landed at
San Francisco, except two or three the
ship has carried back to China. Oh all
thoee certified as entitled to enter this
country, i. is safe to say that not FIVE per
cent. were properly accredited. The Re-
striction Act has thus received blow
that practically nullifes it. The Amer.
can Government is placed in the humili-
ating position of being dictated to by a
solitary and inscriptions Chinese official
at Canton as 20 the meaning OF an Act OF
Congress. In short, we go out to Canton
to have a law interpreted that is Of our
own euacting, and though that interpreta.
ton is Numerically opposed to the aim
and purpose of the Act, the intent OF the
legislators and the plain meaning OF the
language, we are compelled to accept it.
1t is to be hoped the negotiations Senator
Miller suggests will be carried forward
rapidly, and basis of action agreed upon
between the Emperor Of China and the
United States Government that will ena-
BILE the Exclusion Act to be enforced as
originally intended.
