CHINESE CONTROL OF EXPORT TRADE.

We are told that the export trade of the
west coast is already under the control of
Chinese merchants. But from this fact no
sustainable conclusion can be drawn
against the policy of restricting the immi-
grafton to this country of the class that be-
Titles and degrades the American work
man. We fail to see why, because the
Chinese capitalist exports the burden of
shrlmps, ginseng abalone shells and
flour, that there is hence any special rela-
ton between that trade and the incoming
of Chinese to displace American workmen
and American homes The export trade
of the coast to China may be actually con-
trolled by Chinese merchants, and still no
harm come to our home industries. In
fact the question of the control of the ex-
port trade cuts no figure whatever in the
Chinese question, unless it is supplemented
by the employment of Chinese servile la
Dor in the production of the articles of
export. When that becomes the rule, the
export question will be indeed one of
vast Importance. The production and ex-
port of country would, in the hands of a
foreign class antagonistic to the American
system of civilization, mean its extinction
and the substitution of methods of bust
ness under which it would be impossible for
the American laborer or artisan to occupy
the land. In the fact, therefore, that so
much of the export trade is in Chinese
hands, is found an additional and powerful
reason for restricting the influx of Chinese
laborers

IRRIGATION,

The Bulletin refers at length to the
opinion of Mr.. Joseph Medill, of Chicago
upon the possibilities of irrigation in Cali
fornia. The observations of that gentle
man convince him that in systems of stor-
age of water in the mountains is a solution
to be found of the general question. This
view the REcoRD-UNIoN some wears ago
held, and very recently, urged There is
no country more favored with capacity for
such works. OF course his idea of convey
ing the waters of some streams direct to
irrigable lands will in many cases be
preferable, but as a general thing safe
storage in natural basins needing but COM
paratively little labor to close their outlets
will be the better plan. It will go very
far toward solving the irritating issue be-
tween appropriations and riparian owners
The Bulletin is impressed with the idea
that the irrigation in the future of Cali
fornia viii be better accomplished by or
gained companies than by State work
with political involvements, and in this
view Il would appear that the thought of
the country is concurring State regulation
10 certain extent will be desirable to
prevent abuses and secure wide aistribu-
ton of benefits, but the speediest means to
the greatly desired end, it seems to us,
will be the application of united capital
and agricultural interest in organizations
under the law.

EDS. RECoRD-U UNION: | notice in your
issue of September 9Th, under head of
Pacific Coast Dispatches, an article head
lined " A Woman at the Bottom of It.
Not considering whether the man or
woman is the party most sinned against,
or SHINING in this particular case | wouId
earnestly protest against the use of that
time-worn phrase, libeling. as it does onr
common womanhood Is it lust to Law
the wrong-doing of an individual al the
door OF every sister of us?
Do men regard women as their natural
enemies2 Is not the imputation absurd
and false? Yet this phrase is never ap-
piled to anything good, but to all that
works man woe. More than one influen-
tlal paper in the State has made use of
that obnoxious quotation in this single in
stance.
"a woman at the bottom of it," Is not
this the same old cowardly whine-"The
woman tempted me-" etc? How comfort
ing ii must be to the consienee-stricken
sinner to read that he Is only accessory to
his own crime! How treasured he must
feel as the press. while reciting the story of
his wrong-doing, yet adroitly shifts the
heavier burden of his misdeeds on the
shoulder of a woman?
The woman, by the way, has she no
little account of her own against man
Does one ever pick up a paper and fail TO
find the long, black list Of mans crimes
against woman-wife-b beating, betrayal, de-
sertion, and. still more horrible wet more
merciful), the crime of red-handed muir
der? Is there not man 'at the bottom -
of all this helpless misery? After the
recital of the " London shame" would it
not be we'll for man to cultivate little
modesty in footing up his account against
womankind9
not fail to perceive that there is g woman
at the bottom of this" Yours, for Justice,

CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSION

WE do not say that the merchant and bust
ness men should ride a newspaper as free
horse, but we insist that papers wrong them
selves and put burdens upon the great interests
that make cities and States when they devote
their editorial columns so exclusively to poll
tics and politicians, and take no pains to under
stand well and write intelligently of the COM
mercial questions that lie at the root of their
profit and prosperity.-[San Francisco Alta
PRAISE is due the Grand Lodge OF Good TEN
plars of New York for having adopted, at its
recent annual session, by a three ourths vote,
a resolution declaring the organization nom
partisan, and discouraging the formation of a
new party. Evidently the Good Templars of
New York are neither so bigoted nor so over
Jealous that they are unable to see that the
mixing of the temperance question with the
ordinary issues and interests of party politics
has been sufficiently tried to demonstrate its
utter futility.-ISt. Louis Globe Democrat

chews too much tobacco. The consequences
are dyspepsia, a general absence of that
robust and manly vigor which characterized
our ancestors, and manifest proneness to
early decay. Regular hours, due allow
ance of time for meals, the disuse of ex-
cessive smoking, and altogether of chewing
tobacco. in connection with a course Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will in nine
cases out of ten efface consequences of the
abuses of the laws of health indicated above
A want of stamina, dyspepsia, nervousness
and biliousness are among these conse-
quences, and they are bodily ills to the
removal of which the Bitters is specially
adapted. Nor is the Bitters less fitted to
overcome and prevent fever and ague,
kidney and bladder troubles and rheu-
matte ailments. 1t is also fine appetizer
and promoter of convalescence.

a contemporary that believed, not long
ago, that sliclens would fatten the land, and
that all miners could do would but little
augment the descent of the mountains to
the sea, and that the right thing to do was
to flee to mounds and let the river banks
and levees go, says that the way to get the
100000 idle appropriation applied to
river reclamation is to stop hydraulic
mining. Yes, and one way to stop by
draulic mining is to so memorabilia Gov
eminent as to bring it to act in the matter
of prohibiting, as it can, the further de-
struction of the river and the defeat of
Government work upon it. When it does
that, an injunction will be laid on the evil
complained of that will involve no years
of litigation and vast expenditure for law
yers' fees. The river must be saved the
Government must be its savior, and as one
influence to prevent the "fattening of the
land with slickens," and secure the river
within its banks and the restoration of the
same, Government interference must be
invoked. When that is interposed and
made effective, then, and not until then,
will it be proper to begin upon works to
restrain the descent of matter into the
rivers and bays that is now out of and below
the mines, and, as surely as the sun rises
and sets, is moving down upon us. And
when such restraining works are resolved
upon and built, they must never be as
sailed by new deposits-in other words,
must not be used, and Government never
will permit them to be used as a means
for the renewal Of hydraulic mining This
Is clear enough for the honest critic, but
will be contorted and misrepresented
and lied about by such as declared
the mountains must come to the sea, that
slickens will fatten the land, and that the
best thing to do is to fly to the refuge of
artificial mounds.

a LIVING REFORM.

The Indianapolis Journal referring to
the naeok-eyed investigator who, by micro
scepie experiments claims to have discov-
cred the immateTial part of man and
brought the soul to view, should try his
hand upon the present administration and
see where civitservice reform comes in.
il is simple justice to say that the Presi-
dent is sincere in his civil-service reform
protestations. But that he can make his
convictions the policy of his party is the
question. We are of the opinion that the
party toe heavily handicaps Mr. Cseve-
land. The party as an organization is Sc
cretly opposed to the policy. Whatever it
has conceded to titus far has been merely
apparent and in the nature of adroit ma
neuver, That the party leaders ever APP
proved the declaration of the President
upon the question, no close observer now
believes. There is within the party an
element Of the thoughtful order that stands
by the President but as a party, the
Democracy does not propose to commit it.
self unreservedly to the doctrine. Within
the Republican party there is an element
not of great strength, but still of positive
force, that believes the reform to be a snare,
destructive of partisanship and opposed
from the ground work up to the vitality OF
party organization. AS party, however
the Republican organization is committed,
and sincerely, to the principle of the re-
form. 1t will adhere to it, and it must
make it in the next campaign an aggres.
sive question, living issue. By so doing
it will gather to itself new strength. 1t
will be enabled to array the Democracy
against its head and draw recruits from the
enemy. Whatever men may now think OF
the question they will awake to the truth
presently that the reform has lost none Of
its vigor and is not to be ignored. Under
that banner the party can recover to itself
all the disafected Republicans who have
withdrawn themselves and secure the ma
terial support of an independent element
that cannot be influenced by any other con
siderations.
