SENSATION AT MONTREAL.
Flight of Prominent Merchant Charged
With Defrauding the Banks

With Defrauding the Banks.
MONTREAL, March 17-There is great excite
ment in financial and commercial circles over
the fact that the Bank of Montreal has taken
out warrant for the arrest of Thomas Hodg-
son, the great produce merchant, for obtaining
advances from the bank on false pretences It
is said several other local banks are also badly
struck by the defaulter, who was supposed to
be one of the richest merchants here The
stock market is completely demoralized owing
to the losses the banks are likely to sustain by
the delinquency. Hodgson was committed late
this afternoon.

tional issue there is no room for one. The
Republican party never yet boasted of

its statement because the press has com.
mented upon alleged outrages in the South.
Do these things constitute an issue because
OF their denial or affirmation What
weight is to be attached to campaign argu.
ment that has so fragile basis The South

ton, flowing SO freely to it, is checked, as
the Examiner prophesies, whose fault will
it be? Republicans do not shoot negroes !;
Republicans do not hold mass meetings
and warn negro Republicans to cease exer.
cising the privileges of citizenship Repub-
licans did not try and convict the Kuklux
Khan of Georgia. The South permits
political outrages more or less serious, and
because the Northern press expresses its
adherence, forthwith the howl is raised,
sectionalism, and the business influence
of the country is invoked against Repub
icanism. 1t is time all such silly style of
argument should be abandoned. The Re-
publican party is a national party, knowing
no North and no South, but one undivided
country. and demanding equal rights for
every section. Sectionalism indeed

affirmative. From the reasoning of the
Court is deduced the rule that rentals
by the month are renewals monthly, and
hence in the vast majority of cases the
landlord can be held.
The tenant in possession of premises,
finally says the Court, is always liable for
a nuisance thereon. To hold the landlord it
must be shown that the premises were foul
when he let them, or that he renewed the
lease while they were foul, or that he
created the nuisance himself, or that he
retained the general control over the pre-
mises The right to enter to make repairs
is the criterion by which the liability of the
landlord is to be determined.
These rules seem to be so fortified by
authorities that they may be taken for
guidance by health officials. And now that
the Superior Court has cleared the way of
the supposed legal obstacles which clogged
recent sanitary reform, let the officials re.
open the campaign, and clear the way for
action that shall check, if it does not stay,
the march of the yellow fever in case it
appears in California.

there is tobacco-user in the land who will
not advise the young man to eschew the use

before him the example of one who breaches

aud compact little book, and, of course, the
author is radical anti tobscconist He as
sails the tobacco habit with all the enthusi-
asm of 8 reformer. But it is not to be de.
MED that he forti6es himself admirably. He
hiss brought to his aid the persuasive elo.
quence of scholarly clergyman and the cold
logic of physician, and has chapter of
citations from the works of eminent scien.
lists and doctors of medicine supporting his
views. He treats the tobacco question in its
economic aspect also. by showing what the
same sum expended for the indulgence would
do for human good, if otherwise and properly
directed. But this is an old and powerless
argument 1t is fact that it has been of lit

portance. On the contrary, the very
fact that the remaining Chinese have ad-
vanced the price of labor wages is in itself
beneficial, and removes the demoralizing
competition Of coolie cheap labor just that
much farther away. The evidences are
that the desirable element is now taking the
place of Chinese labor-not SO rapidly as
we could wish, of course, but more rapidly
and generously than had been expected.
immigration has received a new impetus,
and is coming in to us with more rapidity,
and is of better character than has marked
the income of population for many years.
1t is entirely legitimate to ascribe this in
part to the spirit this people has
shown in antagonism to the demon
alizing labor competition of the coolie.
California instead of feeling any of
the influences of a " self-destruative
policy-so far as Chinese restricted immi-
grafton is concerned-is to-day making
broader strides in development, advancing
in all industrial directions with more GER
tain steps, and is adding to her desirable
population more rapidly and satisfactorily
than at any time within the last decade. But
we are not SO radical as to attribute the in
coming of the new immigration to one
cause alone. There are other factors quite
as important, and not the least of these are
the labors of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company in establishing agencies OF In
formation abroad, and in educating the
people of other States and countries as to
the resources and capabilities of this State
and the coast. So, too, very much has
been done by the immigration Association,
and very much more by the sensible re-
solve of the people to cease boasting about
natural curiosities, and cease inviting
strangers to the State under exaggerated
ideas of the opportunities that offer here
for the sudden amassing OF fortunes. There
is no evidence whatever worth considera-
ton that the Restriction Act has worked
any serious injury to California, and as
against the judgment of the correspondent
quoted we can safely call to the witness
stand the people of California, who are
entitled to be fairly represented even by
those self-sufficent conference.-the Cal
ifornia letter writers for Eastern journals.

THE MAN TO BE LOCKED AFTER.

At no time in its history since the coun-
try ceased to have before it war issues,
have the prospects of the Republican par
ty been brighter for success than now.
The party is unit, and it has but to so
demean itself as not to drive the independ-
ent voter out, and it has elements of
strength that will prove resistless in 1884.
But we repeat, the independent voter
must be recognized. He asks nothing but
fair dealing. He is not a searcher after
rewards, and is never an office seeker. He
has saved New York to the party, but a
misstep, single attempt to use him, may
result in his turning the State back to the
Democracy. Everywhere throughout the
country the independent voter is being
more and more recognized, as he should be,
as an important factor, and in nine cases
out of ten his sympathies are with the Re-
publican party, for the very reason that he
is an independent and intelligent voter.

TOO PAST.

Those who are seeking to find omens in
the action of the National Republican
Committee remarkably favorable to this,
that, or the other Presidential candidate,
are, in our opinion, too hasty. What we
do see in the action of the committee,
however, is spirit of perfect fairness
toward all sections in the refusal to change
the basis of representation, and senti-
ment of unanimity that betokens strength.
But we fail to find any indication of great
moment favorable to President Arthur's
denomination. The assumption that he
will bag" as a Democratic contemporary
puts it, the whole Southern vote in the
Convention, is not justified by the signs of
the times, 1t is anybody's race as yet.

TIE JUDGMENT OF LETTER WRITER.

The correspondent of the New Y ork
Eccaiag Post who writes from San Fran
cisco to that Journal says: "The indus
tries of California are already beginning to
suffer from the self.destructive legislation
which expelled one class of laborers who
have no votes, to placste another whose
votes were of Importance to the politi-
clans" Unquestionsbly there has been,
in the agitation of the Chinese question
in California, great deal Of demagogy on
the part of politically ambitious individu-
ais But there never was a popular or
necessary and useful agitation yet which
the demagogue did not mount and attempt
to ride as hobby for his own selfish ends.
This, however, has nothing whatever to do
with the merits of the question. We are
not to Judge of measures at all times by
the men who advance them or advocate
their adoption. The people OF California
will themselves be courageous enough to
speak out when the exclusion of the Chi.
nese works them harm. The correspond.
emit is altogether too hasty in his conclu-
sions. Neither is be reliable in his state.
ment of alleged fact In the first place,
the Chinese were not excluded because
they have no votes they were not ex-
Guided to pIacate a class whose votes are
of Importance to politicians. That polit-
ically subservient class may or does play
into the hands Of political demagogues has
nothing in the world to do with the Chi
nese question. The people of California
almost unanimously demanded the exclu-
sion of Chinese because of the convic-
ton that their continued immigration
was gravely injurious to all classes of soci-
ETY.. They were convinced that the con-
tinued and unrestricted immigration of
Chinese laborers meant the exclusion of
homes from the State, and the expulsion of
the citizen class which alone can make
State strong and prosperous. They were con-
WINGED that the free importation of Chinese
would work the exclusion Of about all the
elements of society that contribute to the
permanence and development of the indus.
tries of the country, and would supplant
them by seryile laboring class that build
no homes, do not assimilate with our peo-
pie or institutions, do not contribute to the
forces that build community, or advance
a people in civilization but it is useless to
travel over this well.worn ground. We as.
sert that the people of California weresincere
in their Judgment, and have no desire to
withdraw it. No sensible person expected
other result than that the exclusion of Chi
nese would have a temporary depressing
effect upon few industries which depended
most largely upon Chinese labor. But
there are no evidences that this effect is to
be continuing, or that it is of much i'm.
