The Chinese merchants of New York city
have very properly sent their gratitude and
gratulations to President Cleveland because of
his action respecting the Rock river massacre,
and the later outrages in Tacoma. Every
honest, decent, sef-respecting man must feel
Inundated and disgraced at these scandalous
crimes against humanity committed on United
States soil. But we notice that, at the con-
clusion of the official resolution or minute of
the New York Chinese, there are these
words: "Given at our municipal chambers
the fifth day of the ninth moon of the eleventh
year of the reign of the Emperor Kwong
Suey." This tumble of nonsense is entirely
and utterly un-American, and is to be con-
demned without reservation. While America
is open to all people who desire to come here
and become part and parcel of the Republic,
contributing to its success and glory, there is
no room for any set of men who talk of "our
municipal chambers" and of ''the reign of the
Emperor Kwong Suey." If the Chinese in
New York are there to MAINTAIN section of
the Chinese empire IN the United States, then
they ought to ''go," and not to stand upon the
order of their going but 60 at once. We
want no subjects of "Kwong Suey," or
"Kwong' anybody else in this country.
America is for Americans; those who are
native born, and those of foreign birth who
have left the old countries and abandoned the
old customs and manners because they like
the new better. There is no room here for
any other sort of people

world over.

JUDGE NORTON seemed to be little vexed
at the grand jury when that body made its
report yesterday. The publication by the
Journal of the facts relative to the failure to
indict both Holt and Smith for violation of
the election law, created great commotion
in and about the court. A representative of
the Journal was summoned before the jury,
and feebly-forcible effort made to find out
something; but the Journal had told the
shameful truth of the act Of the three Demo
cratic members, and they were ready and
glad to drop the whole subject. 1t has
been published, and not denied, that there was
a prima facie case against Smith for the loss
of the ballots in one of the Eighteenth ward
precincts, and the Republican members of the
jury were ready to indict him, and so voted;
but the three Democrats voted against it.
Why9 Were they afraid of what a judicial
examination would reveal9 Were they afraid
to have it known in whose interest and by
whose connivance these missing ballots were
spirited aways Or were they only try
ing to shield Holt the ballot box smasher,
the evidence of whose act is as
| notorious as sunshine? In his case there is
no question of the fact; there may be close
question of the law But it is question that
should have judicial examination and de
termination. Besides, it would be worth very
much for the future peaceand safety Of the city,
If it were understood that partisans could not,
at the command of disreputable DULLES, use
Ratchet on ballot-box. That is an outrage
| which will not require much to bloom into a
crime at no distant. day. Why were the three
Democratic members of the grand jury OPP
posed to indicting Holt and Smith? Repub
icans are in favor of prosecuting and punish
ing criminals who violate the election laws.

The Democratic party does not oppose the ad-

law, precedent justice nor common sense to
justify such course; besides they have too
