THE PROPOSED EXHIBIT AT CHICAGO

H. M. Van Amman, who is said to be an
immigration agent of the Southern Pacific
Company, proposes to associate twenty
counties of Northern California in an eff
fort to make Northern California exhibit
at Chicago. The real estate market OF
Southern California having fallen fiat, the
northern portion of the State will now be
heir to the kindly attention of all immi-
grafton effort and real estate speculation,
and much good may be expected to result.
The plan under consideration proposes that
twenty counties shall contribute $500 a
month, to be expended under Mr.. Van
Arman's direction, in rent and help-hire
The question as to the expediency of the
plan is scarcely debatable 1t will be a
good thing to exhibit California products
in Chicago or any other city, but the sue
cess of the undertaking will depend upon
the manner of its administration, and the
questions the counties have right to ask
are numerous and varied In the first
place, nearly all undertakings of this kind
in the past have degenerated into mere
subsidies for private real estate enterprises,
and before entering upon the scheme the
counties expected to advance the money
ought to have every guarantee that Mr..
Van Arman would not under any circum-
stances become agent for the sale of prop
erty upon which commissions would be
paid to him, or to any one connected
with the exhibit that the ex-
hibit is not intended, either di-
rectly or indirectly, intimately or re-
motely, to be an adjunct of real-estate
bureau. There is no question here of
sriendliness or unfriendliness to the under
taking. The REcoRD-UNIoN at least is not
10 be deferred from presenting the real
considerations underlying the case through
any fear that it will be charged with I'M
frIendliness to the section of the State in
which it is most directly interested Be-
hind all such considerations all the lille
climate undertakings hide themselves.
We raise no question concerning the legiti-
macy or illegitimacy of the proposition
now before the counties of Middle or
Northern California. What we do pro-
pose Is that an exhibit which is under
taken with the promise that it shall not in
any respect be subordinate or subsidiary to
transactions in private lands upon which
commissions arise, shall remain so fully,
fairly and completely. Counties should,
therefore, make themselves masters of all
the facts Of the situation. They should
know absolutely whether it is proposed to
allow any one connected with it, either
directly or remotely TO sell real estate and
receive n commission on such SALE whether
any one having an Office in the building
where the exhibition is to be made will be
allowed to present real estate for sale. II
real estate transactions approach the ex.
hibition in any way they will become par
amount, and the exhibition subordinate
Such is the sober fact underlying the stu
alton, and it is well now as well as here
after to look the matter calmly in the face
and take hostages for the future.

A PUBLISHER of books in New York has
busted himself in sending throughout the
country circular urging people to write
TO their Senators to favor the bill for the
issuance of fractional currency. We want
none of it in California we kept it out of
our financial system when it was a legal
tender, and however doubtful the legality
of the Act upon which we based our poi
icy, the people of California had no reason
to regret it. Why should we have a re-
issue of fractional currency? The circular
referred TO advances these reasons: There
is need for small bills chat publishers
may transmit and receive them through
the mails and thus save the cost of postal
note, and which is issued only from money
order offices. There is need for small
change that may be more conveniently
carried than silver
The objections to the bill are many and
strong. The loss to the people by the use
of fractional currency vastly exceeds the
cost of the use of postal notes. This loss
may be estimated from the basis Of the
fact that several millions of dollars
of the face value of the old frac-
tional currency has never been pre-
sented for redemption. OF course these
millions were lost by much wear
by working out of vest pockets, by being
mislaid among old papers, and score Of
other means by which small, worn and
dirty bit of paper can be lost by its owner
Probably a very considerable portion Of
the sum is missing because it was de-
stroyed by means not nearly so likely to
operate where silver is useG. There is nc
general demand by the people for a re.
issue Of the fractional currency There is
already an ample supply and large sur
plus of small silver coins. Their values
can be transmitted through the mails by
at least two methods, neither of which
can possibly involve loss of the money,
while transmission of notes by mail can
not be guaranteed, not even by registry
The fractional currency-because il would
be much hsndled-would be liable to be.
come the vehicle for the transmission Of
diseases, as has been the case in we'll.
established instances. Moreover, no one
who pauses to think about it much, wants
to have the ragged wad Of small and dirty
notes, that have been thumbed by ali
manner of people, supplant the hard coin
in the pocket. There is satisfaction in
knowing that, while the measure has-we
believe-passed the House, it will not re-
ceive favor in the Searte.

II is a humiliating thought that in this
and of equal rights and free men it was
necessary for the Republicans of Louisiana
to appeal to the Courts for such judicial
mandates as would secure them fair play
at the polls ON the 18th instant The
Courts decided that the solid South De-
mocracy must not exclude Republicans
from the polling booths nor deny them
representation upon the polling boards,
and issued peremptory writ of mandate
to that effect. Not single Democratic
paper Of the North has had word to say
concerning the shameful action by South
ern Democrats that forced the Republic
cans Of Louisiana to appeal to the Courts.
If animated by the comnonest sentiments
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-04-25

of justice, the Democratic press of the
North would have at least one word of
protest against the outrageous usurpation
by the Louisiana Democrats, against whom
the Supreme Court has issued its indig-
nant mandate.

Mr.. CLEVELAND may not recognize a
rebuke if he met one stalking upon the
highway. Yet it is certain that in his
own political household he has received
a smart rap over the knuckles by the re.
cent resolution of the House. He and his
Cabinet resolved last year to purchase nc
bonds with the surplus in the Treasury
This would make the surplus rapidly aug
ment, and give apparent backing to hi.
scheme for its reduction. But the Act O
March, 1882, provided that the Secretary
of the Treasury might at any time apply
any surplus money in the Treasury to the
purchase or redemption of United States
bonds. But Mr.. Cleveland and his Secretary
interpreted the Act to suit their own plans
that is to say, construed it to be only .
temporary provision, because it was parl
OF an appropriation bill. Congress has moi
been quick to carry out the reduction o.
the surplus idea, and as the money ac
cumulates very rapidly the Administra.
| ton has become frightened and given notice
Of its readiness to buy 81 per cents. But
how was it in all the months in which the
Administration refused to make such pur.
chases? If it is legal to call for proposal:
of surrender of bonds now, why has it not
been legal to do so at any time since the
passage of the Act?

AFTER all, it takes a good deal of pluck
to remain Republican in France and
stand by the President, Cabinet and Par
Lament. For Government expenses have
been so outrageously piled up by the
Chamber of Deputies-the most extrava-
CANT body on earth-that it is little Won
der some of the people cry out in alarm
and others turn from republican institu-
tious with disgust. The chief aim of the
Chamber seems TO be to parcel out honors
by casting down Cabinets that new ones
may dispense the patronage of thousands
of Offices. Il is because Boulanger and his
faction wish to control Offices they cannot
touch under Garnet that the agitation Of
to-day prevails. 1t is, in short, in France
as here and eyerywhere-the greed of
Office, the ambition to "boss the "spoils,n
all lie at the root of political vsnality and
official corruption.

A REV. DR. SToRRs, of Marietta, Ohio,
has been making himself conspicuous
famous such preachers cannot be-by de-
claiming from the pulpit that the enrich
ment of our civilization must come by
absorption of the blood of many races.
He declares that it is necessary that "the
best blood of the best races upon the earth
must come to regenerate ours, and make it
blood SO vigorous that it will take in and
assimilate China's surplus hundred mill
ions, when she shall empty that goblet
upon our shores" Indeed If DR.. Storrs
has read history to any profit; if he has
any true knowledge of the experiment of
Chinese assimilation upon the Pacific Coast
he ought to know that China's surplus
million is far more likely to be the alb
sorbing body, than TO assimilate with the
Anglo-Saxons of the Pacific Coast. If he
has read history to any purpose, he will
recall that the assimilation of races has
not been eminently successful in any large
| number of cases. The Celt has resisted
the absorbing process check by jowl with
the English; the American aborigne is
fading from existence, but leaves little trace
of having been race absorbed the African
and his descendants are multiplying more
rapidly in the midst of the white skins of
America than are the latter; the German
retains his race integrity in the midst of
Europe under the strongest temptations
to absorb and to mingle. In fact the
persistence with which races maintain
themselves appear to have escaped the at
tention Of DIR. Storrs. Nor does he appear
to be aware of the fact that in the assimi-
lative process it is by no means certain
that the better blood prevails. On the
contrary, the history of the Mongol and
Tartar tribes show that their blood has
oftener overcome than yielded. The
Chinese are the last people in the world to
be absorbed. They are more distinctively
race than any other; they are bound by
superstition, tradition, thought and blood
to maintain themselves against all civiliz-
ing influences; by religion, habit, industrial
conditions, morals and blood they are to-day
more firmly planted as race than any of
the tribes of men. Mr.. Storrs should run
out to California for few weeks and study
our thirty years of experiment with the
Chinaman. He would profit by the observ-
alton, and modify his views accordingly.

A LETTER has been made public ad-
dressed by the Chinese Government tn the
British Minister in China less than two
years ago, in which the former urged the
Government of the latter to aid it in pre-
venting the emigration of Chinese to the
United States. 1t was recited that the peo-
pie of the United States did not desire to
receive the emigrants; that the feeling in
California was very hostile to Chinese /:
that China did not desire its people to
emigrate, but that without the concur
renee of the British Government, controll-
ing as it does all exodus from the port
of Hongkong, the Chinese Government
was powerless to prevent the outgo. The
Chinese Foreign Office went so far as to
say that it was opposed to the return of
such Chinese to America as came back to
China from this country, except they left
behind them families or property. This
expression is remarkable in similarity of
expression to the "return" provision of
the Bayard treaty. All this would suggest,
on first thought, that the United States
should negotiate with England. But a
moment of reflection will convince us that
this is not necessary. Apparently, volun-
tary emigration from Hongkong England
will not trouble herself to resist. She could
say to us with the best grace imaginable,
"This is no affair of ours; these are not
English subjects; if you do not want them,
close your doors to them, as has been done
by some OF our own colonies, by heavy tax
alton, and by even more direct methods"
This brings US around to the point about
which all propositions to restrict Chinese
revolve-prohibition of immigration by
direct enactment by the Federal Legisla-
ture. That is, after all, the one and alto
gether desirable and satisfactory measure
we need; plain, simple declaration that
no more Chinese laborers, or other Chinese,
except officials, delegates and students,
shall be landed upon our shores, except
they are in transit, and then to remain in
the country only while making the CONT
mental portage" There are two such
bills now before Congress; either of them,
if passed, will settle the whole question.
