THE CHINESE QUESTION.
- While our supreme interests demand the
exclusion of a labcring element which ex-
perience has shown to be incompatible with
our social life, all steps to compass this inn
perative need should be accompanied with a
recognition of the claim of those strangers
now lawfully among us to humane and Just

The report Of the Secretary shows that,
while the effective force of the navy is
rapidly increasing by reason of the improved
build and armament OF the new ships, the
number OF our ships fit for sea duty grows
very slowly. We had on March last 81
servieeable ships, and though have since
been added to the list the total has not been
increased, because in the meantime have
been lost or condemned. Thirty-six addi-
honal vessels have been authorized and ap-
propriated for; but IL is probable that when
they are completed our list will only be In
creased TO AZ, gain of 8. The old wooden
ships are disappearing almost as fast a.
the new vessels are added. These facts
carry their own argument, One of
the new ships may, in fighting strength,
be equal to two OF the old, but il cannot do
the cruising duty of two. 1t is important,
therefore, that we should have more rapid
increase in the number Of aerviceable ships.
/ concur in the recommendation Of the Sec
retary that the construction Of armored
ships, 8 gunboats and torpedo boats be au-
thorized.

Three vessels Of the German navy, also in
the harbor, shared with our ships the force
of the hurricane and suffered even more
heavily. While mourning the brave officers
and men who died facing with high resolve
perils greater than those of battle, it Is most
gratifying to state that the credit Of the
American navy for seamanship, courage and
generosity was magnifeently sustained in
the storm-beaten harbor of Apia.

VIEWS ON THE TARIFF.
INEQUALITIES OF THE LAW SHOULD
BE ADJUSTED.
All LegisIhtIon Upon the Subject Should be
In the Line of Projections : The
Tax Upon Tobacco and
Spirits Should be


/ In the Line of Projections = The
TIP Upon Tobacco and
! Spirits Should be
Abolished.
I recommend q revision of our tariff law,
both in its administrative features and in the
schedules The need of the former is gener-
ally conceded, and an agreement upon the
! evils and inconvenience to be remedied and
the best methods for their correction will
probably be difficult. Uniformity of valua-
tion at all our ports Is essential, and effec-
tive measures should be taken to secure it,
Itisequally desirable atquestionsa affecting
rates and classifcations should be promptly
decided.
The preparation Of a new schedule of
customs duties is matter of great delicacy,
because of its direct effect upon the business
of the country, and of great difficulty by
reason of the wide divergence of opinion
as to the objects that may properly be pro-
NOTED by such legislation.
PROMPT ACTION NEEDED.
Some disturbances of business may per-
haps result from the consideration of this
subject by Congress, but this temporary ill
effect will be reduced to the minimum by
prompt action, and by the assurance which
the country already enjoys that any neces-
sarY changes will be so made as not to inn
pair the just and reasonable protection of
our home industries. The inequalities of
the law should be adjusted, but the protect
i've principle should be maintained and
fairly applied to the products of our farms
as well as of our shops.
Those duties necessarily have relations to
other things besides the public revenues,
We cannot limit their effects by fixing our
eyes on the public treasury alone. They
have direct relation to home production,
work and wages, and the commercial indie
pendence of our country, and the wise and
patriotic legislator should enlarge the field
of his vision to include all of these.
EXTEND THE FREE LIST.
The necessary reduction in our public
revenues can, l am sure, be made without
making the smaller burden more onerous
than the larger by reason of the disabilities
and limitations which the process of reduc-
tion puts upon both capital and labor. The
free list can very safely be extended by
placing thereon articles that do not offer in
furious competition to such domestic pro-
ducts as our home labor can supply.
The removal of the internal tax upon to-
baceo would relieve an important agricul-
tural product from burden which was i'm
posed only because our revenue from
customs duties was insufficient for the pub
lie needs. If safe provision against fraud
can be devised the removal of the tax upon
spirits used in the arts and in manufactures
would also offer an nnobjectionabIe method
of reducing the surplus.

THE TERRY INCIDENT

GIAL PROTECTION.
The IuIimidati0n Of Witnesses In the Fed.
sral Courts Should be stopped More
Speedy Methods Needed
In the Supreme


Court.
The assault made by David s. Terry upon
the person Of Justice Field, of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, in Lathrop,
CAL, in August last, and the killing Of the
assailant by Deputy United States Mar
shal who had been deputed to accompany
Justice Field and to protect him from an
ticipated violence at the hands Of Terry,
in connection with the legal proceedings
which have followed, suggest questions
which, in my judgment, are worthy the at
tentlon of Congress.
recommend that more defnite provision
be made by law, not only for the protection
OF Federal officers. but for a full trial Of
such cases in the United States Courts. In
recommending such legislation do not at
all impeaeh either the general adequacy OF
the provision made by the State laws for the
protection of all citizens or the general good
disposition of those charged with the execu-
tion Of such laws to give protection to the
officers Of the United States.
MORE PROTECTION NEEDED.
The duty Of protecting its officers, as such,
and furnishing those who assault them on
account Of their official acts should not be
developed expressly or by acq uieseenee
upon the local authorities. Events, which
have been brought to my attention happen
Ing in other parts of the country, have also
suggested the propriety of extending, by
legislation, fuller protection to those who
may be called as witnesses in the courts of
the United States.
The law compels those who are supposed
to have knowledge of public offenses to at
tend upon courts and grand juries, and to
give evidence. There is a manifest resulting
duty that these witnesses shall be protected
from injury on account of their testimony.
The Investigations of criminal otfenses are
often rendered futile, and the punishment Of
crime impossible, by the intimidation Of
witnesses.
THE SUPREME COURT.
The necessity of providing some more
speedy method for disposing of the cases
which now come for final adjudication to the
Supreme Court becomes every year more sp-
parent and urgent The plan of providing
some intermediate courts, having final ap-
pellate jurisdiction OF certain classes of ques-
tions and cases. has, think, received more
general approval from the Bench and bar Of
the country than any other. Without at
tempting to discuss details, / recommend
that provision be made for the establish
ment of such courts,
The salaries of the Judges of the District
Courts in many Of the districts are, in my
Judgment inadequate. 1 recommend that
all such salaries now below $1,000 per an
mum be increased to that amount. II is
quite true that the amount of labor per-
formed by these Judges is very unequal;
but as they cannot properly engage in other
pursuits to supplement their incomes, the
salary should be such in all cases as to
provide an independent and comfortable
support.
