IS IT REPRESENTATIVE,

The San Francisco Argonaut enters a
very proper protest against violence toward
the Chinese. No journal with respect for
itself could do otherwise. But when the
Argondt objects to conventions of the peo-
pie to consider the Chinese question. un-
less called according to its own particular
ideas. it manites,s its ,nreasonableness. It
denounees the call for the Convention to
assemble soon in this city, declaring that it
rs called by irresponsible parties, whose
official and social position does not war
rant them in taking the Initiative Now.
1t is clear TO those familiar with the move
ment that resulted in that call that the
Afycaaat is all at sea as TO the facts. The
call emanates from about as widely rem
resentative body as can be convened in apv
california community. 1t embraces labor
ers, merchants. mechanics, employers. en-
ployes, farmers, orchardists, manufacturers
lin feet, nearly every division of the in
'dustrias field. In truth, it would not be
possible to secure more broadly repre-
sentative assemblage, since it embraced
men who are recognized as representative
OF labor, trade, agriculture, commerce and
manufacture. These are the industrial
agencies that are Immediately affected BIZ
Chinese immigration and competition.

We place no confidence in the inAamed
rumor in this mornings dispatches from
st. Louis, that the Chinese Government
has ordered all its people out of America
by May 10Th, and that this is a step pre-
paratory to retaliatory measures by China
upon Americans residing in that Empire.
The Chinese Government is neither blind
nor its administrators fools. 1t will not
rush into action that would bring upon it
certain punishment, and of the severest
kind. The story is absurd, and comes in
that roundabout way that indicates pur-
pose on the part of cunning schemers to
accomplish selfish purposes 1t is possible
that Chinese officials in the United States

The people of Greece, say to-day's dis
patches, clamor for war with Turkey.
Their officials hesitate. They fear that
England viii let loose Austria upon Greece
by inaction. There is reason for the fear.
yet, perhaps, matters could scarcely be
worse. The war must come. sooner or
later, and Greece is better prepared for it
to-day than ever before. 1t is as we'll now
as later to ascertain if the treaty of Berlin
is rope of sand. The sympathies of
the civilized world ought to be with Greece.
and, so far as republics are concerned, they
are. Sympathy fights no battles, however.
and puts no soldiers in the field. Greece
would have difficult task just now in an
encounter with the Turk but, whatever
the outcome in the field, it will hasten the
day when the Hellenic State will be ac-
corded its rights. 1t is an inspiring sight
TO see people rising and marching to do
battle, animated by noble impulse and
actuated by right principle But war in
prospective and war in reality are very
different things. The one is all ardor and
animation and the flush of hope; the
other means the killing of human beings,
the burning of towns and cities, the vast
ing of farms, the outraging of innocence.
the piilage of store-houses, the deyasta-
ton of cultivated lands. Yet had the
nations which, like Greece, have been
reused to battle for rights sake, hesitated
in the front of such contemplation, human
rights would to-day be in chains and
slavery to tyrranous cruelty.

While social position is secondary con-
sideration in the matter, the men compos-
ing the organization that issues the call is
also representative of the worth, decency
and influential social forces in this COM
munity. So much for plain statement of
fact. As to the official positions occupied
by the movers, it is not clear what the dr.
gonam means. Official position would give
no more character to the assenablage. A
body representative Of the freemen of the
country need not of necessity be composed
of those who occupy official places, to be
truly representative. The people make
the Offices and fill them. They are the
source of all political and social
power. Office and its incumbents are sec
ondary to them. But even admitting
that there might be force in the exception
taken by our contemporary, if true, it rests
upon false premise. The body calling
the Convention embraced men in official
positions of trust and those who occupy
also places in commercial, labor, and
trade organizations. So much for matters
of fact and the carping of the Argonaut
As to the Convention itself, it is fair to
assume that it viii be eminentIy repre-
sentative. The delegates have been chosen
by official bodies that were elected by
the people. They are selected by the
Boards of Supervisors of the several coun-
ties of the State. How it would be pos
sible to secure more authoritative repre-
sentation it would be difficult to discover.
The Asyonort in its anger and misinfor-
nation is becoming more than amusing
it is absurd.

witness the return to the activities of po-

And it would be not unpleasing. Mr..
