FROM an able article by E. w. Gillian in

FROM an able article by f. w. lillian in
the North american Repiet1 are gathered
interesting points on the Chinese question.
A workipgman in China receiving 10 to l.
cents a day can secure passage to America as
low as Sl2. Once here he makes So to s. per
day, at the same time living almost as cheaply
as he did in China The remittance from

at is" says Professor Gillian, "intrin-
sically the curse OF Irish landlordism, since
the pith of the matter is the expectation OF
profits, and it is immaterial whether the
drain be through lord or laborer" The pro-
fessor dwells upon the fact that 1t is not op.
preston or oyercrowdlng in China that is
forcing these people upon US, but they are
simply attracted by the higher price Of labor.
The restrictions upon immigration i'm.
posed by Congress in lss2 have proved made
quate to check the flow of Chinese laborers
The writer admits that the friendship OF
China should be cherished, but selfpreserva-
tion should be the first consideration. He
throws all "traditions to the winds that do
not make America first OF all tor Americans" T"
In conclusion he says /: "The three grea
families into which mankind Is divided

Of amalgamation across colo- lines indicate

tive bounds, a halfcivilized, civilized and

The Texan Tronhle.

The Texans seem to have come to the
conclusion that If we cannot get an apol-
ogy from Mexico, the best way out OF the
matter will be to get the boot on the other
leg, |. 9. TO do something for which Mexico
can demand an apology. Secretary Bayard
can then very easily accommodate our
Southern neighbor with few soft words,
as it will require neither the backing OF an
army nor the building of navy. This
course is also on the side of economy as any
indemnity which we may have to pay for
outrages by Americans will be insignificant
in comparison with the cost of warlike
demonstration. OF course we may have
10 hang a Texan or two, but we can trust
the Lone Star state to conceal most of hel
avengers, while we make a good show OF
hunting them down.

The size OfIt,

The Democratic state convention is hold
ing daily in the columns Of gossippy news
pepeu and by breezy correspondents, who
axo more interested in telling or inventing
what they think will be read with zest
than In discovering or giving out the
truth. About the size of it all is that the
Democrats of the various counties have
already chosen all but about fifty of the
$50 delegates who compose their conven-
ton that not more than fifty of these
have been instructed for anybody and few
Of the others have made any public or
authorized declaration of their views and
their purposes. In number of recent in-
stances attempts to instruct have been
voted down most emphatically, the con-
stituents being content to rely on the in
telligence and integrity Of their represen-
tatives, and the prevailing feeling being
one of confidence in the ability of the con-
vention to do its own work in its own way.
As an esteemed Republican contem-
porary, which sometimes takes correct
view of Democratic politics, is moved to
say, it will be convention of the masses
and not Of the bosses.
A desperate attempt has been made in
many quarters to force the issue of per-
sonal contest at Harrisburg between sup
posed rivalsfor the leadership of the Penn
gylvania Democracy. Mr.. Wallace has
been said to be seeking the nomination for
purposes of his own. Mr.. Randall has been
reported as favoring his nomination one
day and as prepared to knife him the next,
to suit or serve factional end. Mr.. Coke
Is reported as declaring for Mr.. Wallace ;
Mr.. Scott is reported as declaring against
Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Black Mr.. Piollet
isreported as considering Mr.. Mccormick
the strongest nominee; and SO it runs.
II it were all true-and we suspect a
great deal of it is not-it would be very
slight indication Of the drift of sentiment
in great organization of 45O, 900 voters OIL
of the action of 359 delegates convened fol
council and the common veal. Very few
of the leaders of Democratic thought have
spoken except TO express their confidence
of success this fall, their cooperation in the
effort to secure it, and their ideas of what &
ct platform would be, and that it i.
necessary to name man whose principle.
and record are in harmony with it. The
fact of the present interest attaching to
Democratic politics in this state is the best
commentary upon the recent bluffing boasts
Of the opposition that they would have a
walk over.

The Short Cut.

The Philadelphia Times makes a good
point when it says that if entire prohibi-
tion of the sale and manufacture of liquor
Is q proper and desirable thing, and one
which will be acceptable to the majority of
the people of the state, without violation of
the just rights of the minority, there is no
occasion to resort to the indirect and
tedious method of constitutional amend
ment to secure it. Such an amendment
cannot be procured without the consent of
two consecutive legislatures and final
submission to and adoption by majority
Of the people at the polls. This is long
and doubtful way. The quick and sure
method is such regulation by the legisls-
ture as will withdraw all existing license
privileges and suppress the sale of liquor
by statute. II the Prohibitionists are sim
cere in their purposes and have faith in the
people, and il the Republicans who de-
clare for the submission of the Prohibition
plank want to have test of the issue, let it
be made such in the legislative districts of
the state; and let them, separately or in
unison, put up men pledged to pass laws to
suppress the sale and manufacture.
Tno Democratic party believes in the
power of legislation on this subject, for
the regulation and control of the liquor
traffic in conformity with sound popular
opinion and for the protection of the public
welfare. 1t believes in lcense-implying
the exercise Of judgment and discretion in
the grant. 1t believes in taxing the traffic
to raise revenue to help support the state
government. While such laws are on the
books it believes in their enforce.

they are proved insufficient it believes in
strengthening them. When the judicial

selling places within proper limits or to

There need be no mistake about the
Democratic position, and we believe there
