the CHINESE REsrR,crIonA ACT


The bill amending the Chinese Re
striction Act has been signed by the
President. and is now one of the statutes
Of the United States. 1t virtually takes
the Chinese question out of politics for
at least eight years to come. The
amendments were prepared in the form
of a bill BY the California delegation.
and were passed by the House Of Repre-
sentatires two months ago. An exact
copy of the House bill was introduced in
the Senate early in the session and there
altered by the Committee on Foreign
Relations to such an extent rs to render
its passage useless for the purpose for
which 1t WAS originally designed. The
bill, in its original form, rs passed by
the House, was referred TO a Committee
in the Senate, and pigeonholed until
last week, when il was called up by
Miller, Of California, who insisted that
the fnilure OF the Senate TO pass it would
cost the Republicans thousands OF votes
IN California. This induced Logan and
several other Republicans, who had
hitherto been opposed to restricting
Chinese immigration, To vote for il, and
it passed AS it came from the house by n
vote of 43 to Ia. eleven lie publicans md
one Democrat voting agoinst it.
The bill makes an attempt on the part
OF ship Masters to land Chinese, IL mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine or impris.
onment, the same rs il they were actu-
ally landed, and prohibits the landing OF
Chinese iaborers, except in case Of shSn-
Tut necessity, a.d i'll that case they
must depart with the vessel which
brought Them when it leaves port. 1,
also provides that merchants or students
seeking entrance to the United States,
must exhibit certificates from China, OF
the Government whose jurisdiction they
last left, showing what their pursuit.
have been, instead Of what they intend
to do here. The penalty prescribed 10y
the Act for the violation OF any OF il.
provisions, is a fine OF 81, COO, or impris,
onment for one year, or both.

MEMORIES OF THE GREAT
FRAUD.

Soon after entering the White House,
Hayes sent n commission to Louisiana Ia
oust Packard AZ Governor. who had re-.
crivcd LIZ more vot than the fraud
had for President. This movement was
n part Of the bargain by which Mr.. Til.
den was cheated out Of the Presidency.
There was no legal authority for that
Commission. Ii was an assumption OF
power to carry out n corrupt transaction.
The money Ia pay the Commissioners
vas advanced by John Shcrman's pet,
the First National Bank. Several at
tcmpts have been made 10 induce Con
gress to foot the bill, which Ms original
ly presented exceeded six thousand dol
lars. but heretofore they have failed. An
insiduous scheme is now started by
Sherman 10 cItort three thousand dol
rom the Treasury for this bare. faced
swindle.
Mr.. Sherman also proposes that Con-
grcss shall purchase a painting OF the
electoral Commission for fifteen thousand
dollars, to p%erpetuatc. as It were, not
only the crime, but the authors Of il, by
which the Presidency was stolen.
Every vote for these s~cnndaIous prop
ositions will lie n stab at the integrity Of
our institutions, and al indirect APPROX.
nj Of M net which ought 10 consign all
concerned in IL to lasting cxccration.
The only picture the American people
should tolerate to represent that mon.
strous iniqui;y would lie one in which

A SUGGESTIONS TO MAST.

An excellent subject for IL cartoon by
Tom Mast, the Virginia Chronicle says,
might be found i'll the ludicrous efforts OF
Mr.. Blaine's adhercnts to catch the Irish
vote. Esop's fable of the dog crossing
he's stream with a bone in his mouth,
and swapping Mt the aqueous shadow,
could be adapted to suit the case. A
muGnited spectral figure OF the :radi-
tional Irish hea-which is said not to be
there when yon put your finger on him
would serve very well the thing snap
ped at; but Mr.. Nast's fertile imagina-
ton must be relied upon to find some
tangible benefit in the Republican
nomination to represent the bone that is
dropped.

DISCUSSING CREMATION.

The subject Of the disposal Of the
dead continues to excite attention among
writer's and thinkers. One enengetic
friend of cremation says: The body
burns whether placed in the earth or
fire. In one case it takes ten to twenty
years, and in the other, SO many min
utes. Cremation is the prosper and sci
entfic way to dispose Of dead organic
matter. When the body is cremuted,
there is no further fear from disease
germs in the body. The only plausible
objection which can be offered against
cremation is that in case of homicide
through the administration Of deadly
Poisons, valuable evidence might be de-
stroyed; but this is not n serious objec-
ton Ill the face of many advantages
gained. All innovations in sanitary
science have had to fight their way inch
by inch. Vaccination had II hard strug-
gle, but came out triumphant, and SO
We predict Tor cremation IA glorious vie
