CANADA AND THE CHINESE QUESTION:


Canada has introduced new complication to
the Chinese question by passing a law to re-
strict or prohibit Chinese immigration, and in
serting in it a clause eXacting payment of $50
from every Chinaman who crosses the United
States boundary into Dominion territory.
What makes this law, which was passed Mt the
last session of the Canadian Parliament, most
embarras sing, is the fact that numbers of
Chinese make their way into American terri
tory from British Columbia, and the United
States revenue officers have instructions to
send them back whenever it is possible. The
new Canadian law, however, comes into opera
ton at this point, and practically excludes the
unfortunate Mongoian by putting this heavy
head-tax upon him. and as the case stands,
there seems no way of overcoming the diff
Guilty. OF course the Dominion Parliament is
responsible for the consttutOnality of its own
laws, Dut it is difficult to perceive how de-

THE TRIBUNE's cable letter calls attention
to the change Of situation IN the East. Rus-
sian diplomacy is winning all along the line
The Porte has been induced to hesitate to
accept facts as they are now, and Germany has
been persuaded to approve of the restoration
of ante revolution territorial limits. bismarck
in turn has persuaded Austria to take the same
position. Prince Alexander, therefore, will
have to give way and either be removed or
become practically a vassal of Russia instead
of the Hapsburg power. To this solu-
ton Lord Salisbury seems to have
consented also, although the suppression OF
tie National tendencies in the Balkans will not
be popular in England. AT this distance this
arrangement of the Great Powers appear to be
both short sighted and artificial. Prince
Alexander must bend to Russia or be deposed.
That would mean another revolution and the
possible formation of another big State COM
pletely under Russian influences, with the
chances all in favor of Servia's also falling
under the sway of the Car instead OF Austria.
1t is hard to conceive how war could he
avoided then unless everybody surrendered to
Russia.

According 10 TIE TRIBUNE correspondent
in London the cheap telegraph system recently
adopted by the English Post Olice gives much
satisfaction to the officials, but not so much to
the public. What Englishmcn want Is ten
words for II cents, correctly sent. The
officials prefer - cents for twelve words, in
which the address must be included. The plain
result is that people try to economic in the
address, and many errors in delivery ensue.
Hence there is endless complaint i'll every d-
rection in England Scotland and Wales. But
the same permanent post Office officials,
who have refused so pcrsstently to send letters
to America ON fast steamships because they do
not like to depart from the old plan of sending
by certain favored lines, express bland in
difference 70 public opinion, and prove by sta
tisties that the new system works beautifully
and to everybody's satisfaction.
The canvass in England Is "slow.- The
trouble with the Tories seems to be that they
will not tell what they think should be done
with Ireland. Apparently the leaders have
been persuaded to accept Lord Randolph
ChurchilPs idea, that only by uniting with the
Irish can. the Conservatives defeat their oppon-
ents. Lord Salisbury's submission to Russian

The pretudices against Americans do not
exist merely IN the minds Of the ignorant
and uneducated, but are quito as frequently
found among the upper ~classss,p the well
educated and even the leaders Of thought,
viz the clergy and the Journalists. Many
superficial Eobservers, especially Americans
who visit this country for a temporary "out-
ing" and remain here a few days or a few
weeks, will write home stating that the abet-
ter class" Of Mexicans are very fond Of
Americans-that they always treat them
with great Difference and are the politest
people in the world.
Those foreigners who know the Mexicans
best tell me, and l believe 1t TO be true, that
the Mexicans have a great delicacy In con-
cealing from you their real sentiments when
1t Is considered by them polite or prudent
TO do 80, and hence you can never gather
from their conduct toward you In personal
interviews what their real sentiment coward
youis. Personally, 1 like this. For Y .
man hates you, or is antipathetic to you, il
is far more agreeable to have him conceal
that fact when o are brought in close con-
tact with him, though, Of course, more dan
gerous to you oftentimes. The same trait is
very noticeable In most Frenchmen and
French women. The American and the
Englishman, save when refined" by contact
with French people, ara usually quito the re-
yerse-more brurque, more blunt, less cour-
teous as far as outward graces and polish
are concerned and far more truthful, genu-
inc and to % relied upon than any Of the
Latin races
l find the highly cultured and polished
Mexicans exceedingly Agreeable people to
meet, to converse with, to be entertained by,
but there Is a constant feeling Of their insin-
certify being impressed upon me, both while
in their presence and after leaving them-a
feeling that they do not like US because w
aro American, because they enormously re-
gard US as desiring to wrong them, to over
reach them Tor their fellow-countrymen) IN
trade, TO spread a religious propaganda
throughout their country, swallowing up and
overthrowing the power Of tho long estab-
lished national faith, and even that our ma
ton has aggressive designs upon their coun
try, and will sooner or later swallow Il up,
merging it into our Union and thus destroy
ing their patrin and making OF 1t a mere do
tendency OF the United States.
OF course l know that any cultured Mexi
can OF whom you may ask, us this truef
will at once earnestly reply: "Nol 1t is quit,
All error to believe any such absurdity a

true way TO learn the real sentiment Of

Il. Warren, the Republican nominee, is
elected mayor for the ensuing two years
by a majority of ity-six over Mr.. ]. Dyer.
the Democratic candidate. The result
will probably not prove a startling sur
prise to anybody. For fully six weeks
the Republicans had been making prepar-
atoms for the event: the Demo-
Gratis began TO bcstir themselves
less than a week ago. The whole matter
resolved itself into a question not OF
property qualifications but of who had
paid the paltry two dollars which consti-
tuesa poll tax. More Republicans had paid
this tax than Democrats and the result
was inevitable.
The fight made for Mr.. Dyer was a
brisk and energetic one, his vote in the
second ward especially being a surprisingly
large n In the first ward,
however, it fell short, due to reasons
which while not personal to Mr. Dyer. are
now perfectly well understood.
The next council will stand six Demo
Gratis to three Republicans. There arc

and the Democratic party will look to its
members to see that the work il well and

DEATH OF GOVERNOR HALE.

( Governor William Hale, whose death
occurred in this city yesterday, received
his appointment as chief executive of this
territory from President Arthur, Aug. 3,
1882. and was sworn in on the 22d
of the same month in this city. His de-
mise records the first death ola governor
during his incumbency since the ~organiza-
ton Of the territory.
Since attaining to the governorship Of
Wyoming there have arisen no questions
which have demanded the display Of stu
pendous executive genius or the bringing
into play Of immense reserve powers The
two and a half years embraced in Gov
ernor Hale's administration have been
characterized by unbroken quietude in all
matters hat might relate to the functions
of such an executive officer. In his
public capacity therefore the governor has
lad but little occasion to provoke the crit
icism of opponents or TO receive the APP
