The San Francisco Post is Of the opinion
that Secretary Bayard's new Chinese treaty
will not be as effective in keeping out the
Celestials as the friends of the administra-
ton claim. At present. In spite OF the re-
strictiye act, the Chinese are coming into the
West very freely. Some land in British
Columbia and then slip down across the
American border. smuggling themselves
over by means of all the devices of heathen-
dom and christendom combined. The re-
strictive act also affords a convenience for
Monaghan tourists that they do not fall to
avail themselves of, wherein it provides
that all Chinese who go home with the in
tention Of coming back to the United States.
shall provide themselves with certificates OF
their former residence here. Many Celes-
tials have thus armed themselves who have
had no intention of returning here, and
these certificates can, it is said, be bought
with the greatest ease in China. Then the
United States Supreme Court decided two or
three years ago that Chinaman who went
home before the restriction act went into
effect could lawfully return upon simple
proof of the former residence. This proof is
very easily obtained among a class of Asiat-
les who regard an oath as profitable
rather than sacred. Through these holes in
the law the immigration into California has
been about as much since the restriction act
was passed as before. The new treaty pro-

Mr.. Goschen, Chancellor of the English
Exchequer, deserves to rank among the few
English statesmen whose abilities lift them
out of dependence on one particular party
for their advancement, When he dissented
from Mr.. Gladstone's Irish programme. the
Tory government was glad to welcome him
to high place in the Cabinet. Now, as
Chancellor of the Exchequer, he has man
aged so we'll the difficult finances of the
British Empire as to earn the commentator
of his own country and attract attention
in foreign countries. The budget which he
introduced in the Commons Monday evening
discloses a surplus in the treasury and pro-
poses to take penny off the income tax
two features that the great English public
will understand ard appreciate, however
much they may be puzzled by the intricate
details of British finance.

Mr.. Balfour, who is applying the old fash
toned Tory policy to Ireland with such vigor,
is comforting himself that the Americans as
we'll as the English are highly conservative
people. "America" said he in recent address
to a workmen's federation, is the most con-
sentative country in the world. BY conserva-
tism mean principally that affection for the
institutions Of your country which is making
you distrust the crude speculations OF anna
teur politicians, and is inducing you to adhere
to the institutions of your forefathers. In
that sense Of conservatism America stands
In the very front rank, and England is a
very short way behind her. 1t is owing to
the strength Of that conservative feeling that
England and America are In the very fore
front OF civilization. We are, therefore. able
to contemplate Englands future with greater
serenity and confidence than is vouchsafed
possibly to any other country" Mr.. Bal
four is evidently trying to justify his Irish
policy by the example Of American conssrya-
tsm But he seems to forget that the insti-
buttons of the forefathers which the Ameri-
cans are preserving so tenaciously are the
free institutions which he and his party are
SO persistently denying to Ireland.

Chief Justice Waite cast the vote that
made the decision of the great telephone case
in Bells favor. Mr.. Lamar did not sit.
Should Lamar and new Chief Justice
sit at new trial of the case the de-
cision might be reversed. The selection of
the new Chief Justice will therefore be
awaited with unusual attention by large
number of powerful and interested persons.
Under such circumstances Mr.. Cleveland
can hardly seek, openly at least, the advice
of his Attorney General in choosing Mr.
Waite's successor

New Hampshire has had a prohibitcry law
for years, but not much prohibition. Last
summer the Legislature passed nuisance
act that was intended to give an additional
lever should public sentiment be sufficiently
strong to make use of it. just now public
sentiment against the saloons has expert
enced marked revival. 1t began in Con-
cord, where both the new nuisance act and
the old psohibitory law have been put to
work. Saloons have been closed, keepers OF
drug stores and hotels summoned before
the grand jury, and the landlords are order
ing their rumselling tenants to move out at
once. From Concord the movement has
reached to Dover, and very likely will spread
to other cities of the State. Should it reach
Portsmouth, where are the brewerles OF the
Hon. Frank Jones, an issue might be raised
that would dwarf even the railroad fights Of
New Hampshire.

The revelations made before the Congress
sional committee in regard to the use in the
manufacture of lard of smothered hogs and
hogs afflicted with cholera and in various
other ways unfit for food, are not particular
ly pleasing to the American public, who
have the reputation of being tolerably fas-
tidious both as to what they eat and as to the
honesty of those with whom they deal. If
it is true. as the Washington correspondent
Of the Hartford Courant writes, that inter-
ested parties have been endeayoring to have
the evidence given before the committee sup
pressed. this is a confession of guilt that
ought not to pass unnoticed.

THE CLUB MOVEMENT.
[St. Louis Globe-Democratl
Tue rapid increase of Republican clubs in
all parts of the country is a fact of decided
interest and Importance. 1t implies organi-
Zation of the most desirable and effective
kind. Such clubs are composed mainly, as a
rule, of the young and aggressive members
of the party-the element that creates en-
thusiasm and gives to a campaign its practi-
cal and conquering vigor. The first election
of Lincoln was largely due to organizations
of this description; and the same is true OF
other notable Republican victories.

FOR PERSONAL GAIN.


IntrIgnes Of the English Roynlties-Indig-
nant Feeling Throughout Germany.
BERLIN, April 22.-All classes, from
the highest to the lowest, share the COM
mon feeling that the English royalties
have steered their way through the cir
cumstances attendant upon the EN-
peror's illness with more regard for per-
sonal gain than German interests. This
impression is supported by constant
chain OF facts. II has become convic-
ton since it has been ascertained what
is the nature OF the settlement upon the
Empress during the current week. Be-
sides the L, 100000 marks allowance rs
the widow OF the Emperor, the Empress
acquires the right OF succession to the
Empress Augusta's residence as fixed by
the will Of Emperor William. This is q
small me 0ter per Sc, but taken in connec-
ton with the baffled intrigues TO over
turn Prince Bismarck gives the masses
settled sentiment Of antipathy to both
Victorias. Still the people Of Berlin are
pers are talking as if extraordinary police
measures were necessary to protect the
Queen against the people OF Berlin, but
they entirely mistake the habitual self
respect OF the people who are too self re-
strained and well bred to show any dis
respect to the Empress, or her mother.
Should any evil minded person attempt
to insult the Queen during her visit to
Berlin the citizens would be able to
make an example OF him.
