All Sam sworn, stated: l have known
Leong Ho Pung since last year. He
lived alone in his house. His business
was selling ducks. Last Saturday about
7P.M went to his house and he told
me that he had fallen on a stone fence
and hurt himself badly. Deceased was
we'll before that. On Sunday evening
deceased told me to 60 to town to &c. his
nephew All Quai. Monday morning,
finding Leong Ho Pung's door shut, l
called for him. AS the door was not
opened went down to another China
man, Lam Lee, Cab SAM to come with
me to Leong Ho Pung's house. Lam
Lee opened the door and going into the
house found deceased hanging by the
neck. Then l came to town to tell his
nephew. Deceased as far as l know, has
had no quarrel with any one. was not

This remark is attributed to Senator In
gals. Politics" he says, is a battle for
supremacy. Parties are the armies. The
object is success" Commenting upon dec
laratons of principles. the Alta says:
This declaration of the leader of the party
in the Senate is of immense consequence.
1t is not a defense Of theft, lying and muir
der, OF bribery and corruption as a means
of party success. 1t is an attack upon all
who object to the use of such means"
Without doubt there is a class of politicians
who hold that all means are justified viii CHI
lead 10 success. This brings Us face to face
with the question whether the morals of
politics is necessarily and essentially diff
ferent from the morals of business. Is not
success often thrown away by the means
adopted to make it sure? Is there any
thing in the nature of a political battle
which warrants the use of means which in
other pursuits. would be held inexeusable?
There is an Infamous old apOthegm which
declares that all is fair in love, war and
politics. Let man who thinks this
declaration true attempt to put it in
practice and he will soon find out
that the law does not take so low a
view of the matter as the moralst Our
courts are frequent reminders that all
is held to be as much a promise as if dollars
and cents were involved. If the party who
is false to a promise is responsible, he
may be made to pay for all the consequences
resulting from violation of a promise.
War has its rules as well defined as those
of peace. What civilized general dreams
of putting prisoners of war to death or of
violating a flag OF truce? Is politics the
only department of human effort in which
all moral obligations may be dsregarded
We are fully aware that political leaders
have gained a temporary ascendancy in
this country who apparently owe their sue
cess to the INSCRIPTIONS use of such means
as they could lay their hands upon. When
two men have been rival aspirants for one
Office the man who had money, and was not
too high principled to use it, has often car
ried off the prize. There are periods cover
ing years during which this kind of political
leadership seems to achieve results. Some
times the mass Of the people do not know
what is being done, and at other times it
seems as if they did not care The efforts
Of those who do care are deadened by the
feeling that there is no higher moral sense
to appeal to. Fair and unfair politics have
not of late years had chance to show
which is the stronger. Mr.. ingalls, seems
satisfied with this test There are other
men who are not. The problem is if the
better instinct of the people will assert and
maintain itself. VIII either party take its
stand on clean politics and fall, if it must,
on that plane? Until such party shall
appear and demonstrate its fidelity to prin-
ciple politicians will hold, as Mr. Ingalls,
does, that the object is SUGGESTIVE means
of no consequence.
The morning call., 1890-04-30

4 few days since the Chronicle chuckled
over the statement that less than one hun
dred in transit Chinese passengers had been
landed, and that none were known to have
failed to take their departure according to
promise. Our contemporary was thus con-
frued in the opinion that there was no
harm in the in-transit provision Secretary
Window had incorporated in the Chinese
Exclusion Bill. The arrival of the Gaelic
with 25S Chinese, most OF them in transit to
Mexico, puts another face upon the matter.
Here are on one steamer twice as many
Chinese as the Secretary Of the Treasury
reports having landed. and more are COM
ing on the next steamer. 1t is true these
Chinese do not ask to land, but they ask a
privilege which in the end amounts to the
same thing. The order of the Secretary re-
fusing to put Chinese passengers on vessels
bound for Mexico will, without doubt di-
rect the attention of the man dealers to the
breach which the in-transit order made in
the Exclusion Act
The morning call., 1890-04-30
THE COURT ON PROHIBITION.

1t is impossible to read the judgment of
the Supreme Court in the Iowa prohibition
case without coming to the conclusion that
it renders all prohibition statutes and all
prohibition constitutional amendments null
and void. The court rules that the power
to regulate commerce between the States
was exclusively committed to Congress by
the Constitution, and that to concede to a
State the power to exclude certain articles
Of commerce is to admit that State may
regulate that commerce by specifying what
shall be its subjects. In other words, if one
State may exclude spirituous liquors, an
other may exclude breadsIuffs, and another
dry goods, and thus the free interchange of
merchandise between the States, which the
Constitution designed to maintain by con-
ferring upon Congress exclusive control
thereof, might be defeated by the action of
State Legislature. This appears to be a
broader view Of the question than the one
which is taken in Justice Gray's dissenting
opinion, which is based on the proposition
that the police power of a State is supreme.
Under tie decision of the court such pro-
hibition laws as the constitutional anti
liquor provision in force in Iowa become
void and of no effect; for, though the Iowa
Legislature may prevent a man from dis
esAiAA6 SBllALo VI iidhillE bGGI III IL INV III
! Iowa, there is nothing to prevent him dis
| filling whisky or making fermented liquor
! on the other side of the river and sending
his goods into Iowa for sale. Thus, as mat
! tiers stand, the prohibition law of Iowa is
merely a statute which requires brewers
| and distiiers to conduct their business on
the Illinois side of the river. The Iowa tax
| payer viii not make much by that.
We here in California have been put to
some annoyance by Iowa prohibitory legis-
lation. California wine aud brandy, en-
route for Chicago or New York, has had to
pass through Iowa, and the officers of that
State have required the packages to be
sealed, and in some instances a bond has
been required of the shipper that not
Whit of the pernicious fluid shall reach the
Iowa nOstrilS. All this seems very petty
and provincial. If ii be the settled conyic-
ton of the people of Iowa that they are
such poor, weak creatures that they cannot
be left alone with whisky barrel without
danger of explosion they ought to be able
TO devise police ordinances that would seal
the Iowa mouth against alcoholic intrusion
without undertaking to interfere with the
legitimate commerce of sister States The
State Of Iowa cannot prevent the sale or
transportation of CALIFORNIA; products any
more than California can put an embargo
on Iowa wheat.
