The proposition before Congress, already
passed by the House and in the Senate this
week. to have the census enumators count
every Chinaman in this country and issue TO
him certificate, has aroused no little oppo-
sition throughout the country. The object
of the measure, of course, is to so designate
the Chinese that they may be recognized af-
forwards in any proceedings that may be
taken against Cinnamon suspected of being
Illegally in this country. The great objec-
tions have come from those people and or
ganizations best acquainted with China.
The Methodist and Congregational churches,
which have great missionary establishments
in China are very strenuous in their opposi-
tion. They say that the Chinese at home
are already very much irritated at our re-
striction laws, and that this scheme to single
them out in this country from among all
other S0journerS will give still further Of
fense; and that the end of it all will be that
reprisals will be made upon our missionaries.
1t is noticeable also that commerce and reli-
gon are going hand in hand in this matter.
The New York Chamber of Commerce have
addressed to the United States Senate very
strenuous remonstrance against the plan.
They say that it will hurt our trade with
China, which is already diminishing greatly
on account of our attitude towards subjects
of that country. The New York merchants
moreover think 1t poor national policy to pro-
woke China. "The day may not be far dis
tant," they say, when an empire of more
than 100000 900 people, apt and adroit in all
the fields vf science and art, brave In war
and persistent beyond all other races Of men.
now rapidly advancing in the mastery of all
modern resources of national greatness, will
summon this nation to account. In the words
not SO near its end that China need hurry,
nor the circles of the sun so nearly done
that she will not have time to play the role
assigned to her in the work of nations
The Pacific coast people are willing to take
all these risks, however, and the Cinnamon

Mr.. Randall did not in his earlier days Of
his career in Congress impress his colleagues
as man destined to become SO prominent
as he became. A Maine man who served
with Randall in earlier days remembers him
as not especially brilliant or industrious at
that time But as he continued in service
year after year be began to grow in influence
and in capacity for the work Of Congress,
until he became to the present generation a
great power.

half the time. The Forth bridge in Scotland
the largest now in the world, just opened to
travel, was eight years in building. The in
tention of the company which Congress is
chartering, is. if possible, to have the bridge
finished in 1900 as fitting celebration of the
end of the nineteenth and the beginning of
the twentieth century. Already $500 900
have been invested in preparatory purchases
of land in New York.
When the Brooklyn bridge was built such
a bridge as is now planned and considered
perfectly feasible would not have been
thought of. The iron and steel makers could
nat have built it with the facilities then at
hand for any reasonable expenditure. But
now they are able to do it without trouble
and at reasonable cost.

the court is sweeping victory for the Grand
Lodge; that the persons who sued the Grand
Lodge are now out of court, and that the
court deci0ed that their own biased and one
sided statement was not sufficient to entltle
them to any relief in the civil courts. The
decision is not only of Importance to MasOns,
but 1t Is also a judicial determination of the
right of all political, religious, civic, moral
and fraternal societies to control their own
affairs without the interference of the courts.
