WBY BUSINESS IS HOPEFUL.

Mr. Bland kindly uncOvers the cl0ven hoof.
His report scarcely tries to conceal his purpose
to force this country to single standard OF sill
yer. If gold should be driven out, he reasons,
and if payments in silver should be forced upon
Government and the people, that would involve
no Injustice To his mind it is not injustice TO
pay any debts in anything that he can get II
government to call dollar. According to his
conception, government makes dollars, and has
perfect right to make them out of waste paper
or empty promises, as it chooses. 1t cannot be
robbery to pay as a dollar anything that gov
ernment may affirm to be n dollar; the only
wrong is when one is compelled to pay just
what he has agreed to pay.
Do the SILVER men actually believe that they
can pass any of the crazy measures they are al
vocating Or do they fancy that they can scare
business out Of a years growth by proposing
unlimited coinage of silver, or payment OF
bonds in silver, or reduction of the Treasury
surplus to 500, 100000 Business men know
that the President of the United States has a
veto. They understand that he is apt 20 use 1T,
If Congress sends him any bill fiatly contrary to
his recommendations and declared views OF
duty. The silver mOnOmetallsts, in view OF
events of the past week, can understand as
practical business men do, that there is not
much prospect that any silver bill will be passed
over a veto. What is the Use of Offering such
measures then
These bills are all bOoh 1t is waste of time
to consider whether either of them could be
passed in either house. The commercial world
is right in resting in the conviction that not one
of them can become ii law. One would think
grown men might be ashamed of this bullying
tone toward the President and Secretary of the
Treasury, who are doing III none AIRY matters
nothing more than their duty under existing
laws Let the men who rail at them consider
whether they have any power to change the
laws There is an ocean Oi loose and childish
talk at Washington about compelling the Sec
rotary to pour out his surplus. Congress cannot
do that thing without two-thlrds vote. III 1t
tries to compel the Secretary to force silver
upon creditors of the Government, 1t will be
met with veto. If it tries to restrain the Sec
retary in his exercise of discretion, the Pies
ident will be bound to consider whether that
discretion may be necessary to the public credit
and the public welfare. Business men under
stand that through the exercise of his discre-
ton under existing laws. the Secretary can for
a considerable time, if not for years, avert the
dangers involved in the continuance of silI Ier
coinage. What Congress ought to do Is to stop
fumlng and bullying and to consider what prac-
teal and useful adjustment can be effected. 1t
is not good sense to waste great opportunities
for promoting a genuine blmctallsm III silly
and impotent threats because the President
will not countenance or help conspiracy to
drive this country into silver monometalism.

late in the week was not shown III any STATISTICS
publlshed. and the state of foreign trade Is at
best still dlscouraging. But the votes on the
silver question at Washington gave ground
for confidence that bad legislation would
be prevented. and that wholesome com
promise is not improbable. Meanwhile no ACT
changing the powers and duties of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury can be passed without the
Presidents approval. and without any such
change the Secretary has power to keep OFT the
danger from silver coinage for some time to

Decidedly important IN an industrial point

nRIEIIAG INTO DINGER.

A concerted movement has been going on III
California for several weeks. the object OF
which is the expulsion of the Chinese from the
interior towns and villages. Various methods
have been adopted to enforce the resolutions of
local antl-Chinese organizations, but the
fayorite and most effective is boycottlng,
directed against employers of Chinese labor
Thus at Truckee the wealthy firm of SisSon,
Wallace & Co. was forced, at a loss OF many
thousand dollars, to rescind contracts for the
cutting of timber made with Chinese gang
bosses. The movement now extends over
nearly the whole of the State In the Sierra.
in the fOothill counties, at the north, In the
Tulare Valley, in several OF the more southern
counties, the Chinese have been compelled to
leave. The general result is the setting up of a
number of streams of Chinese travel, all con
veIging upon San Francisco which has also
been selected as the dumping ground of Wash
ingtOn Territory.
Now San Francisco had quite as many Chinese
before this as could make living there, and IN
fact times had become much straltened for
large percentage of the steady MongOlian popu-
lation. What then is to become Of the thousands
who are being driven into San Francisco from
the surrounding country, and many OF whom
arrive destitute Z This would be a serious con-
sderation, even if there were no Chinese ques-
ton at San Francisco; but the fact is that there
exists in that city a more concentrated bitter
ness of sentiment on the issue than can be found
even III the country places where the demon
stratiOns have been strongest. In San Francisco
thousands of white mechanics have been thrown
and kept out of work by the keenness OF CHI
nese competition. They and their families
have suffered real hardships because of the
yellow rivals. There is also considerable
class of small capitalists who, thinking to make
money by employing Chinese operators in man
ufacturing found too late that the Chinese only
learned the work in order to set up opposition
factories at the earliest opportunity. Add to
these practical causes of offence the constant
incendiary talk of political demagogues, and
| the presence of q large element of hOodlums
and criminals ready and eager for any mischief,
and it will be seen that the concentration of all
the California Chinese in San Francisco threat
ems trouble of more than one kind.
How such trouble may grow there are already
| indications. The other day Chlnaman in
broad daylight tried to snatch lady's purse.

that he had been driven out of an

S0uE RECENT ELECTIONS.

Governor Hill has lately been reported as
longing. yea, even thirsting, for the election
next wear of Democrat to the United States
Senate. He has also been reported as enter
tanning a hope that what he so greatly desired
might be brought about. The report is rather
absurd than otherwise. The present State SEN
ate. IN which the Republicans have majority OF
eight, will have a voice in the selection oi
Warner Millcr's successor In order therefore
that Mr.. HIS ambition may be gratllied the
Democrats must obtain a decided majority IN
the Assembly that is TO be chosen next fall.
The present Assembly stands Republicans II,
Democrats IL, Republican majority 20. Is this
majority likely to be reversed when next As
semblymcn are voted for
Well. if there was a political revolution under
way which was likoy To cost the Republicans
the control of the Assembly most probably there
would be some signs OF 1t IN the elections which
have lately been held, in Syracuse, IN Bingham
ton, throughout Schohare. But the fact - that
the result, OF all the elections IN question are
calculated TO encourage, not Democrats, but Re
publIcans. On Tuesday last, Syracuse, which
uas gone Democratic for the last four years,
chose Republican Mayor. Mr. Burns, the sue
ces,ful candidate, received 1000 majority,
although when he ran for the same office two
years ago he was defeated by plurality of over
l. roo. In Bnghamton the proilisatc Demo-
cratic ring which has so long had It's way has met
with a crushing defeat. The Republicans elect
their Mayor half the Common Council, an AS
SCISSOR, an Oyerseer of the Poor and o;hcr
officials. The overthrow of Democracy IN
Scnoharie was still more emphatic. ms
county has from time immemOrlal been an I'M
prcgnablc Democratic stronghold. But last
week the Republicans succeeded in capturing
it. For the first time in its history they elected
a majority of the members OF the Board OF
Supervisors.
These straws show which way the political
wind is blowing And it must occur to Gov
ernor Hill that it is an i'll wind for Democrats
who have an eye upon the United States Scna-
torsnip.

Economy is an excellent thing, but 1t seldom
pays either individuals or nations to De 100

follow 1t. The Assistant Treasurer at Ne"
Orleans was suspended on September IL Ou'
he managed the Office uutil his successor ap-
peared on November IA. Had he done other-
wise the Office would have been left without
head. The Controller of the Treasury says
however, that no salary can be paid after Sep

Francisco has received similar treatment for
serving from May 20 to August 1. certain
bills for assistance given to Americans III dis
tress IN foreign ports by American consuls
are also refused payment by the Controller.
If Mr.. Durham or Mr.. Manning thinks this sort
of thing commends itself and them to the
American people they make great mistake
1t is to be hoped that Congress will do justice
to these faithful officers when the Deficiency
