Some crauks in Michigan tried re-
Gently to pass bill in the state leg
islature forbidding the sale of cigar
cites and cigarette paper in Michigan,
but last week the bill was killed in
the senate. The war on the cigarette
is largely due to prejudice. While
there is no question that the cheap
cigarettes are unwholesome, it has
not been demonstrated that they have
any more effect on the system than
the vile cigars that are turned out by
the million ia all parts of the coun,
try. A fine Turkish cigarette is in.
flnitely better for the smoker, as well
as for one who has to endure the
smoke, than the ordinary fve-cent
cigar. What the Michigan legisla
ture did that was commendable wa:
to prohibit the sale of tobacco to al
minors under seventeen.

Never Saw a Square Game.


1t is very we'll known to many OF
the men-about-town that one of the
police Justices was formerly dealer
in faro bank. There are what are
known as square" and Skin" games,
A short time ago a gamblidg-house
was raided by the police, and the
gambling implements were displayed
in the court room where the former
dealer WAS presiding. When the
gambling implements were spread
out before him he picked up the little
silver box and asked, What is this!'
The lawyer for the prisoner answered
with a laugh, That is 'quare' box
your honor, something which yoE
never saw before" Then everybody
laughed, and his honor blushed like

OUT OF POLITICS,

Now that the supreme court has
affirmed the validity Of tho exclusion
act there can be no reasonable ex-
cuse for the Chinese question beiHg
any longer factor in our politics,
whether state or national. 1t may
be of interest, in a historic sense,
to fight our battles DER. but the
Chinese question is net living is
sue, nor can it become sucL at pres
ent.
There are some who really believe
that China will attempt retaliation
for the exclusion act, but they are
not acquainted with the Chinese ma
tional character They 90 not know
or think that the Chinese have no
sense of honor OF dignity as those
qualities are understood among civ
ilized nations. One might as we'll ex-
pect an individual Chinamau of tie
lower order to be insulted by being
called liar as to suppose that the
Chinese nation will seek to resent
the exclusion of Chinese laborers
from the United States on any such
pretext as that the national honor
has been wounded CHvalrir feel
ing is not 4 strong :.oint in the
Chinese character.
But it is possible, if not probable,
that the exclusion act of 1888 will
expire by limitation in 1892. unless
sooner extended or renewed by con-
gress. This act was supplementary
to the act OF May 6, 1882, which WIS
limited by its terms TO ten years, and
it Is questionable whether the sup
Elementary act can be held to out
live the original act. One is an act
for restriction the other for exclusion.
bu; the tins Of the second may be
bounded by tie duration Of the frs,
and in thaC event tha exclusion act
vii! expire in 1892.
However, wo imagine there is iii.ie
danger OF anything of that kind &C
curing. Congress can hardly dis
turb its record OF 1888 on the CAi-
nese question, and Senator Hoar has
been out here and seen something of
China IN America for himself, SO
there would be no serious opposition
TO the eXtentiun of Ihe exclusion act
for longer term. By 1892 the bone
tit of shutting out the Chinese WI
have become 50 apparent that there
will be little risk of opposition to an
II Chinese legislation

CANADIAN TORIES AND HEREDIrY.

A few years ago the practical peo-
pie of this dominion were consider
ably Interested in an effort, on the
part of Sir John Macdonald and the
leaders of his party, to found titled
aristocracy in this country. \ batch
of knights, it will be remembered,
was created by the imperial govern
ment, such subjects being selected
from the conservative ranks Of poll
ticians as it was thought would wear
the useless appendage of Sir" to
to their name with becoming grace
and dignity. The experiment, as all
know, was failure. People were
too democratic and too practical 10
attach any Importance to empty I'll
ties, and it was soon learned. as we
have learned in this province, that
the man with title may be cne of
the least deserving of respect in the
community. Several prominent lib
erals distinctly declined the doubt
ful honor, and the consequence is
that We have recently heard very lit
tie, either for or against them. Bat
If we are to judge from recent events,
the conservative party in this Dc
mlnion is the same old stickler for 4
privileged class in political as It IS IN
commercial and professional life.
The election of a son of the late
Hon. Mr.. Pope, the government can
didate, in Compton, suggests tie
possibility that heredity is uncon-
sciouslY taking hold of the people OF
this country. It is not very long
ago that the samo government.
through lis party managers, put for
ward . son of the Hon Thomas
White, and had him elected IN ;hc
constituency OF tie dec,aszd minis
ter 4 short tiuie before ''Charliv"
Tupper, & rather clever young man,
was ele ted and made minister Of
Marine and principally because he
was "a son Of his father" And 50
on. We would not like to say that
any of these young men were not
possessed of the requisite abilities TO
perform THAR parliamentary dnt;es
efficiently, but we do not know that
they are superior, or in some cases
equal to dozens of their seniors in
the constituencies they represent.
Perhaps it is not well 10 attach too
much Importance TO these matters,
but they at least so to show how
deep the old tory spirit runs IN our
So o-called liberal conservative party

THE PUBLIC AXE ANXIos

Mr.. Baird, register of the land of
fee at Seattle, we understand Is
anxious to turn over his office to his
successor. The public are just as
anxious to have him do so, because it
is utterly impossible to have my
business transacted. Nearly q month
ago application was made for final
proof, and nothing has been heard
from the matter since. Since Mr..
Baird's incumbency the land Office
has been left to run itself a large
number of persons have been caused
much trouble and expense by the de
lay of the land office at Seattle in not
attending to business promptly and
correctly. The public are exceedingly
tired with Mr.. Baird's way Of
transacting business and are exceed
iugly anTiOuS to have him turn over
his office. Since last November the
Office has been outrageously man-
aged. Public business is delayed
very much by permitting Mr.. Baird
to remain in Office 1t is time that
the authorities in Washington made
a change and not permit the public
to suffer. Mr.. Hayden's commission
should be sent him at once, so that
the office may be turned over to him
and thus enable the people to have
their affairs properly managed.
