The measure Is silent as 10 Chinese mcr
chants, travellers, aud, IN tact, any other class
than hborcrs, Sn far us II gocs, It aims 10
accomplish what every American independ
emily OF his loitgcnl affiliations, desrus
10 see Accomplished. The riducuiuus

The bill went TO the senate at once, AMI
here the wind VAS taken out ot the pro,i.
dents sails 10y the fact that senator George,
u democrat from MwsissIpp, opposed II on
tho ground that It was viola
lion OF the treaty now existing with China
aud was supported 10y SGnRtnr lutler, nf
South Carolina II democrat senator Sher,
man, the republican loader on the floor of
tho senate, favored tho bill, anl IN the dis
eussion on Scnntor Georges pOlui, showed
cnnciusively that congress had the uudoubi-
ell right 10 pass the bill, which II, IN elect,
mn abrogation OF the trcaty.
Ono point Of interest was clearly brought
out by the senate dubatc-abd that Is, that
the democratic party II responsible Tor first
bringing Chinese labor to our shores IL
was u democratic governor, MacD Iugnl, Of
California, southcrner hy birth, aud n man
who represented nni cherished the scnii'
mcnIs of his sacllbn who invited tho Chinese
to come; who pr'ierred them before lrlshInen
or Germans or Elgishmnn; who sail IN
public message TO his Legislature that the
Chinese were the most desirable class OF In.
migrants that California cuuld have; aud u
was democratic assembly IN California

1he President on the surplus
The president follows tho practice aud II
governed by the necessities ol his party, lie
announces that there Ia a surplus OF Si3), O0O,.
900 Ia the treasure, duo 10 excessive incomc.
II has been shown that there Is no such sur
plus revenue, The republican party admits
that there IL exc, sStyn taxation mud excessive
revenue, hut II Ii ey dcnI that the government
cannot yet, by hook or 10y crook, too much
money for tho democrats 10 spend. Tho
"party OF economy" can waste more money
IN u year Than its opponent can cN pend Ia
presidential term,
The democrats are what the thrifty New
Englandcrs call bad managcr.." o. the
eyo OF n presidential election they contra.
diet their professions uf parslinony hr their
cxtrnvagant practices, Tue revenues OF the
year have been discounted. Tho president
knew " hen hc wrote hts messags that the ~.
cepts OF tho government for tho cnrreut ~.
cal wear would not bc $780, 0J,Olb In excess
Of la EXPENDITURES; that, on tho contrary
there would he not much II any, over Sl.,.
DO0, 900. lie knew that ho was counting past
accumulations aud including the sinking
fund when lie wrote the abatement IN his lrt''
ter of ncceptnncc TINT the surplus Was Sl3o,'
900, 900. We are sorry To see that the prcsi
dent Ia given over TO Efforts TO confuse terms.
lilo seeks TO create n false impression In hs
talk about the surplus. Having given The
amount OF pnst nccumuaiions hG tries ~
make II appear that his figures relate Ia
revenue by rcmarking that mo brtlor evil
dcnco could be furnished THAT the people arp
cxorbituntly taxed. The extent OF the super.
nuous burden Indicated by thls surplus viii
be better appreciated when II IL suggest.
ed that such surplus alone reprc'"nts taxa
ton aggregnting more than SlUS,Wm la q
county continuing 90, 90 inhabitants
This IA Hat dishonesty for the H. asldcnt iur
tends to convey the idea that the government
collects $3.50 O0l, 900 Of taxes In excess OF Ia
needs This, AS We have said, IA not true.
ThiS surplus, 40 far as " eau bc couptcd
such, has grown with years, and, moreover, II
includes the sinking fund, which must bc
satisfied so long Es the present law ~
force. II tho democrats had done what The
president now says ought 10 he done aud had
reduced tho current revenues SlHhUW,0Hl,
the public debt would have been Increased
by nearly &I2O, 000,0OD That Is the Kind II f.
nnncleriDg which Mr. Cleveland recommends
Of which has taken such an uncnUsconaba
time. We do not remember that so false"
statement as this ever came from tho etecu'
tive mansion, unlens II may have been s0rne
utterance OF Polk about the Mexicnns, or 'Of
Buchanan about the rebels. We can spare
some revenue, u Ia true, but we cannot spare
any this year, nor any year during which
spendthrlft democrats control the house ~
