says: s.Hsnator 1litchells of Oregon.
h5l made an immoral bill TO abrogate
III treatles with China, 70 far as they
pefmit the soming of Chinese e the
United States. The speech and the
bill are against the public morals; be-
;cause they propose. with only q feeble
assumption Of technical right, TO repu-
di.te obligations into which we have
deliberately entered with q friendly
power. Treaties bind nations az con-
tracts bind Individuals, and the Bur-
Ellngame treaty was concluded at our,
own instance when We thought its
provisions would be TO Cur advantage
and was hailed as triumph of Amer
lean diplomacy. Such shameless pros
posals as that which Senator Mitchell
makes In the Senate Of the United
States, and which receives the support
Of part of the newspaper press Of the
Pacific coast are unpleasant to hear and
humiliating to consider" !"

From Me PaN MaN Gasette.

FROM the kSdH M0b Gdsebte.
A st. Petersburg paper vouches for the truth
Of legal story which quite comes up to any.
thing of the kind yielded byour own courts of
law, A man found himself just recently in the
prisoners dock on a third charge Of theft.
His advocate, a young man, made long
speech to the jury in defense, and toward the
close spoke as follows:
Now, gentlemen of the jury, let us go into
the depths of history; let us go back 5000
pears
81 must ask you to keep to the subject" in
terpOsed the judge.
'JThen we viii go but 5000 years back"
continued the lawyer. and we see without
doubt
Another reminder from the bench.
''GOod, we will 90 back 1000 years: or, no
since it is forbidden TO appeal TO history, let
us turn to geography. In the Sandwich is
lands, gentlemen"
A third call TO order.
"Verv we'll" was the advocates RESPONSE
sin the islands lying nearer to US, as Madeira,
there exists = long-observed and very honor
able custom"
MIR. Advocate" interrupted the judge
again, Il speak TO you for the last time. If
you talk again of things which have nothing
to do with the case, shall refuse to hear you
any longer"
Il protest against an infringement of the
rights of the defense" was the unabashed re-
ply, 'and request that my protest may be
taken note Of"
Then. turning once more to the jury, he
added: ''Since, gentlemen. may appeal TO
neither history nor geography, will only re-
mind you of the custom of the court OF this
district in case of third theft. This court
has the praiReworthy custom OF acqultting the
de endanis in such cases, and therefore / dc
not see why you should not let my client 60
lree."
How the case ended is not said, but it will
be pity if the prisoner did not get Of.

deal gently with mobs in this country

ceeded in dispensing the great mob in
that city without causing loss of life,
while at Seattle, Washington Territory,
the mob which was engaged in driving
Cinnamon out of the city was dispersed
only after several persons had been
killed.
While the Seattle mob was not so vio-
lent in its demonstrations as the London
mob was, it was doubtless more deter
mined. The only way, probably, that it
could have been prevented from carrying
out its purpose, was the one that was
adopted. The police were unequal to the
task Of protecting the Cinnamon, and it
became necessary to call on the militia.
The militia would have accomplished
nothing. probably, il it had net resorted to
extreme measures.
1t is impossible to say what the conse-
quencss would have been in London il
the troops had been called out aud ordered
to fire upon the mob. The probabilities
are that they would have b0en terrible. In
stead of $4,000 there would probably have
been $4,000 rioters, and the damage they
could have done 10 life and property be-
fore order could have been restored would
have been immense.
Itis probable, therefore, that the course
that was pursued with both the London
and Seattle mobs was the best. The
English authorities, however, have re-
ceIved a warning that they will do well
10 heed. There are many thousands OF
we'll disposed workingmen in London who,
il reports are true, are actually starving.
IL cannet be expected that they will con-
sent 70 starVe and to see their children
starVe il bread IL TO be had, even II IL has
to be taken by toroe. There are enough
socialists among them to incite them to
commit all sorts Of excuses. The pros
pect Of better times Is not encouraging.
Indeed, the outlook is that the situation
will become worse before getting better.
The Irish question is not the only difficult
question with which Parliament is con-
fronted.
