The Chinese Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The anti
Chinese bill Was called up by Miller,
of California.
Platte moved to strike out the clause
excluding Chinese who are subiet Is
of governments other than that of
China.
Hoar reaffirmed his disapprobation
of this clause of the bill. He said it
was based on barbarism, and the
American people would, in his opin-
ion, some day repent the action of
congress on this subject.
Miller hoped that Plates motion
would not be agreed to.
Plates motion was not agreed to-.
and the bill coming at once to a vote
was passed without amendment; yeas

The time required lo- the passage
of an ocean vessel across the Atlantic
is being constantly shortened. The
record is beaten on an average about
once a fortnight. When the Oregon
made the trip q few weeks ago in-six
days and sixteen hours, the perform
ance vas regarded as phenomenal.
The steamer America has since beat
en- that two hours. By and by the
passage of the Atlantic will be looked
upon as no more of an undertaking
than the voyage from New York to
Charleston is to-day. Time and
space are annihilated by steam at
present, but when electricity is
adopted for prouelling vessels over
the big pond, all other methods will
sink into insignificance and the ocean
wave lose its terror.

THE P~REsrnENT's VETO

President Arthur has seen at to
exercise his prerogative and veto the
Fitz John Porter bill. The Presi-
dent states among his reasons for his
action that twenty years ago General
Porter was tried by a competent
board of officers, organized undert the
forms of law, convicted of disobe-
dleDce of orders of his superior off,
Ger, and cashiered. The President
will not reverse the action of this
court by approving the bill, because
he holds the findings of the court to
be final
President Arthur is not candid in
stating his reasons for returning the
bill without his approval. He is not
consistent. II the findings of a court
martial were as unalterable and un-
changeable as the laws of the Modes
and Persians, he might shield him.
self behind its action. But Mr.. Ar
thur knows that he, as well as other
Presidents, have not only modified
the sentence of a court martial, but
in some instances have set them
aside.
Again, Mr.. Arthur knows that
since General Porter's trial twenty
years ago, new evidence has been OBJ.
tanned proving the innocence of the
latter. This evidence was not oh.
,ainable at the time of his Il ial. 1t
is not necessary to go over it. Suf-
flee it to say it is conclusiv. a great
wrong was done to General Porter.
And this seems to be the opinion
of such men as General Grant, Gen
eral Slocum, General Rosecranz, and
other prominent generals who were
in the Union army. And it is also
the opinion of a large majority of the
members of the House and a major
ity Of the Senate, and an overwhelm-
ing majority of the newspapers o fthe
country, irrespective of party. Yet
in the face ofthis Mr.. Arthur sets up
his individual opinion, or rather his
prejudice, as a bar to justice to Gen
eral Porter. He has the right, of
course. but it is such a violation of
the prerogative of his office that it
suggests a mistake npon the part of
the fathers of the Constitution in
granting it to any one man. W. are
pleased to note that the House has
passed the bill over his Veto. We
hope the Senate will support the vote
of that body.

Teachers Institute.

Time and space last week prevented
us from giving more than passing no.
tice to the Cheboygan county Teach er's
institute which opened on Monday and
closed on Friday of last week. In point
of attendance, ability of conductors and
interest manifested it ranks with the
very best Cheboygan county has ever
enjoyed. On the opening day quite a
large class was enrolled and the list ia
creased day by day. The institute was
fortunate in securing Prof. D. Putnam.
of the State Normal school, Ypsilanti as
Conductor and Rev. E. L. Little, of Al
pena, as assistant. The aim Of the Pro-
fessors from the first, evidently, was to
meet the requirements Of the teachers
and this they accomplished admirably.
The lectures on Theory and Art Of
Teaching, Language, Civil Government,
and the History of Michigan were es-
peeially interesting and instructive.
80 much is being required of teachers,
from time to time, by the State Board Of
Education, that special instruction,
such as was so ably given last week, has
become necessity, in order that teach
ers may keep up with the advanced
ideas of the times.
Wednesday Mr. l.. S. Brown, principal
Of the Commercial department of the
Adrian High school was present,
and gave interesting talks on
penmanship, both morning and
afternoon and gave many valuable
points to the class on the art, that can
not fail to prove beneficial to both the
teachers and the schools of which they
may have charge.
No evening Institute lectures have
been 30 well attended as those delivered
on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings,
and yet the Importance, and valuable
information to be gained. should have
attracted much larger audiences. The
members Of the class were all present
and goodly number of our citizens, all
of whom were highly entertained. Prof
Putnam delivered the lecture en- Tues
day evening, his subject being "The
Pc Yer of Little Things" His handling
of the subject showed him to be gen.
tleman Of true ability .and very enter
tanning in his manner and method.
"The Coming teacher" was the sub
ject Of a lecture by Rev. K. L. Little,
Wednesday evening and was both in
teresting and Instructive and those Of
our citizens who failed to attend the
lectures are greatly the loserss The in
stitute closed Friday afternoon and IL
conceded to have been one of the best
ever held In our county. Prof. Barr To-
cal manager, did his part well.
