The new Emperor Of Germany has Ia
ken the inst decisive steps toward the as
surance OF European peace. Il has been
announced that the extreme Representa-
tiyes OF the war party in the present cabi-
net, will be retired, and men more warmly
in accord with the moderate ideas Of the
Emperor, will succeed to their places, Bis
maIck Of course remains. His position 10
the Empire which he bias done 30 much to
build up, is to firm to be shaken. Aslonga -
the Iron Chancellor remains in pOwer there
will he little fear that the honor and dig
uity CT the German nation will not be
~iealously guarded But even Bicmarck will
recognise that there is another land at the
helm OF state.
Germany needs a ruler such as FRED
ERICK III. Ia the brief span Of life that
isleit TO him his voice will be for peace.
The work that he fluids to his hand on COM
ing to his throne, would tax the full
strenth Of matured manhood. German Po-
Htical institutions founded in war ard
based on military force, must soon be
transformed by the rising spirit Of De
mocrscy. 1t will take a wise head and
firm hand 10 guide the nations in the
change. 1t will be fortunate for the
Fatherland" if FREDERICz III. is spared
long enough to lead his people into a full
and free development Of liberal sentiment.

TIE NEW CHINESE TREATY.

-
The new Chinese treaty negotiated by
Secretary BAYARD is sufficiently sweeping
in its provisions to please sll but the most
fanatic anti Chinese agitatOrs. After
awarding a liberal indemnity for violence
to Chinese, the treaty prohibits all Chi
nese immigration for the next twenty
years. This provision applies uncOrdi-
t~ionally 10 Cinnamon of the labOring class.
Any Chinese resident Of the United States,
who owns property to the value OF ST. 600,
or who has q parent, wife or child in this
country, may go to China and return On
proof of these facts.
The new treaty is formed on the lines OF
the one negotiated By the Chinese Com
mission in 1850. That treaty secured to
the United States the privilege Of regulat-
ing or s~uspending the incoming Of Chinese
laborers. The present u goes farther,
and our doors are now firmly barred
against them. 81 Chinese subjects are IN
fact shat out with the exception Of gov
eminent officials, merchants students,
teachers and travellers for pleasure in
America. And these privileged classes
must bear proper certificates from the Chi
nese government establishing their ideE-
tity.
The readiness with which the imperial
government agreed to the treaty is a sign
of it's anxiety to prevent further emigra-
ton Of its subjects to America. Since the
treaty Of 1880, the condition Of the Chi
nese residents Of the United States has
been i matter of careful study to both
governments. 1t is stated that the Chi
nese authorities have determined that a
further increase of their race in America
was undesirable and unwise. Determined
efforts were put on foot to check emigra'
ton, and Chinese lahOrers were prohibited
by an imperial decree from sailing for the
United States. In spite of the efforts Of
Government many have continued to sail
from Hong Kong, an English port
American contracting companies have
reaDed a rich harvest from the
business Of transportation; over emf
grafton thus carried on the Chinese govern
ment had no power ofprOhi5itiOr. What
was lacking in its powers to keep iaboTeTs
from flooding the Pacific coast the new
treaty will supply. There is hardly &
doubt, but that it will meet the approval
OF the Senate. Its provisions sre bread
enough to be satisfactory to any reasonable
mind. 1t will remove an almost ine1hsust'
ible source Of disastrous rivalry to
American workingmen and will prove in
every way beneficial.
The only objection that could be raised
to it's confirmation would be by rich con-
tractors of the Pacific slope, who have &C
cumulated vast fortunes in Transporting
coolies and selling their labor at so much
a head. The claims Of these gentlemen
will hardly, however, prove mightier than
the demands Of the American working
men for the removal Of a source Of de-
struetiye and degrading competition.
