NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE.

Senator Plumb of Kansas is credited with
a recent statement that a Senator of the
United States should not allow himself to
be influenced by what newspapers say. A
somewhat similar utterance fell, not many
weeks ago, from Senator Blair Of New
Hampshire, whose naturally placid temper
had been ruffied by d1kindly newspaper
criticism of his educational scheme The
New York Tribune, referring to Plumb
rather than Blair, observes that the Senator
ought to discriminate among newspapers
that while some Of them can be safely dis
regarded, others are good advisers even for
the most eminent members of the Senate.
This appears to be a pretty sensible view
OF the question. A proposition acquires no
strength by being put into print, and pub
lished in the pages Of newspaper Views
which are unsound are just as unsound in
type as when they are uttered verbally,
and the opinions of newspaper are, after
all, only the opinions of the man who ex-
presses them, and are entitled to just as
much respect as his words would command,
and no more. There are several thousand
daily newspapers in this country, each of
which presents its readers every morning
with comments on the events of the day.
These comments ought to exercise just tie
influence which the spoken words of the
editor would possess, and no more. 1t
would be a very remarkable thing if all or
even large majority of these editors were
persons Of commanding intellect and sound
Judgment. 1t is almost certain that the
entlre number contains the same proportion
Oh wise men and foolish men as an equal
number OF men in other callings. And as
commanding intellect and sound judgment
are rather the exception than the rule
among people at large, it is fair to infer
tina: the rule obtains among journalists as

ell, and that consequently newspapers in
the aggregate are not always safe guides
in public affairs.
We thus arrive at the truism that the in
fiuence of newspaper is proportional to
the confidence which the public place in
the intelligence and honesty of its editor.
1t is equally unwise to deride all Eewspa-
pers, as the Senators above mentioned are
said to have done, or to deny to any OF
them a fitness TO serve as public advisers.
He who shapes his course on the lines
traced by dozen papers picked up at ran
dom is likely to be as often wrong as right;
but he who refuses to read any Of them is
pretty sure to be ignorant of public opinion.
and to meet the fate which overtakes those
who evolve their principles out of their In
ner consciousness.
A newspapers influence is measured by
its general reputation for being right. Jour
nails which are conducted for personal OBJ
jects cannot acquire influence because the
public always suspect thom to be aetuated
BY personal aims. Nor can journals which
display ignorance of the fundamental rules
which govern public affairs ever become
guides of public opinion, simply because
their ignorance is soon detected and the
reader feels that he knows more than they.
The subtle force which is known as news
paper influence is only possessed by jour
nails which, first, are known to be actuated
by broad concern for the public good, and
secondly. which are sufficiently well in
formed to form accurate opinions on the
issues of the day. Such journals influence
mems minds unconsciously; readers follow
their lead without realizing that they are
being led. When truth is uttered in lu-
cid words and cogent phrase it sinks into
the mind and terminates there. Its origin
is forgotten, but it does its work. even
though the minds it sways be hostile to the
source from which it sprang.

comPLEiE EXCLUSION.

The full text of MOrr0w'S Chinese EX-
clusion Bill juStifes the statement that 1t is
an outright exclusion bill. First it provides
that exclusion shall extend TO all Chinese,
except to Chinese officials and their house
hold servants. The second section provides
a penalty for violations of the act by
masters of vessels. The sixth section is as
follows: "Tbat any person who shall
knowingly bring into or cause to be brought
into the United States. by land or other
wise. or who shall aid or abet the same, or
aid or abet the landing in the United States
from any vessel or otherwise, OF any CHI
nese person not lawfully entitled to enter
the United States, shall be deemed guilty
of a msdemeanor. and shall, on CONVICTION
thereof, be fined in a sum not exceeding one
thousand dollars and imprisoned Tor term
not exceeding one year.
This section Will make the land route
somewhat hazardous. This route would be
little travelled by Chinese without white
men to effect an organization to put them
through. Such aid, under the proposed law.
will expose the person giving it to fine and
imprisonment.
The tenth section of the bill provides that
"no State court or courts of the United
States shall admit Chinese to citizenship,
and all laws in conflict with this act are
hereby repealed" The eleventh section
declares that all treaties now in force be-
tween the United States and the Chinese
Empire are abrogated, in so far as they
conflict with this act. This provision takes
from the Federal courts the power to give
an Interpretation of the act on the assump-
ton that Congress did not intend to pass
law in conflict with existing treaties. The
Federal courts have construed existing
acts in the light Of existing treaties. In
other words, they have taken the treaties to
be the authoritative expression of the will
of the people, and have made the laws of
Congress to conform to them, Under the
Morrow act, if this bill becomes law,
there will be no ground for such cOnStruc-
ton. This is the first clean-eut compre-
hensive exclusion act that has yet been
proposed. There is nG mistake about its
purpose. A Federal court can only set it
aside on the ground that law cannot
abrogate a treaty, position which no
Federal court is likely to take.

THE PRosFEcT OF CHOLERA.

The news Of an outbreak of cholera at
Kobe, Japan, moves our Beard of Health to
call upon citizens to put their premises in
condition to resist the spread of an cpl
demc Cholera has for some time been
epidemic in Spain, where sanitary laws are
seldom enforced; happily our direct inter
course with Spain is not active, and the
quarantine at Eastern ports is vigorous
But with Japan we have intimate inter-
course, and the neglect of hygienic obsery-
anees in that crowded empire is quite likely
TO lead to the importation of cholera germs
into this port.
1t may be as well to remind readers that
cholera germs cannot thrive in unsuitable
surroundings. In perfectly clean and dry
locality the germ dies and does no mischief.
But II II be let loose III a locality which is
damp, and where the air is charged with
impurities from filth or decaying animal or
vegetable matter, it becomes active and en-
tiers the human system. 1t is generally
transmitted in the baggage or the clothing
CT persons who have resided in or near n
place where the disease was prevalent It
has been observed that the germ will often
remain innocuous until the baggage is
opened, or the clothing taken out of the
package which contains it; it is when it is
exposed to the open air in damp, dirty
localities, that it engenders the disease.
During the epidemics of 1866 and 1873 inI-
migrants from infected ports sometimes
landed at Atlantic seaports and Travelled
far into the interior before the germs which
they brought with them began their deadly
work.
Our knowledge OF the habits of the germ
should enable US to prevent the outbreak
OF me disease on this Coast. The first pre-
caution would be the enforcement of
STREET quarantine against the baggage of
passengers arriving from Japan. Causes
which need not be recapituIated here have
prevented the city of San Francisco from
securing proper quarantine grounds But
1t Is within the power of the Board of
Health to insist that every particle of cloth
ing and other dry goods arriving from
Japan shall be boiled and laundrfed before
it is landed. Passengers from Japan should
be required to take complete BATH And
finally the whole ship should be funigated
with disinfectant gases. The use Of these
precautions in the East has proved eff
cacious in excluding contagious disease.
But as it is never safe to count upon the
complete fnlfllment of duty by officials ctil,
zens must aid the Board of Health by put
ting the city in such state that If the
germs do make their way into the city they
nay die out for want of suitable at

MARKHAM NOMINATED.

TIE CALL is pleased to announce the
nomination Of Colonel Markham on the
first ballet. This is a greater victory than
we had expected, and it indicates a general
conviction on the part of the people that

little contest over the nomination should

ton. A survey Of the field convinced the
most astute observers in the party that the
election of Markham was more certain than
the election Of any other man who could be
nominated. The part of the State ne espe-
cially represents will respond to this grace
full acceptance of their favoTite candidate.
Tie Rep ubicans now 90 into the campaign
with every assurance of victory. There
are no weak spots in their lines. II the
convention continues to work with the
same clear-sighted devotion to the best in
tereSts If the people it has shown so far,
there will be no weak spots in the ticket
Thanks to the judgment of the convention,
it is now possible to send a solid Republi-
can delegation to the FiftY-second Con-
gress. In that Congress the bill to make
the exclusion of Chinese perpetual will come
u, unless Mr.. Morrow is able TO push HIS
bill through at this session. We will need
in the next Congress not only representa-
tives who are personally in favor of exclu-
sion, but men who will not be driven from
voting as they think by political prejudices.
The Silver Bill, which goes into operation
to-day, should give the party 10000 votes.
Tie effect of this bill will be felt in agr-
cultural as well as mining countries. 1t

OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.

An Eastern paper declaims against the
tariff at some length, because of the an
nouncement that eighteen cloth factories at
Fail River, Mass, are to shut down for
time. The manufacture Of wooden and cot
ton fabrics is to be suspended in order to
relieve the cloth glut in the home market.
But" our Eastern friend exclaims, "are
not the products-the cloths and the yarns
-cf the Fall River mills protected? Verify
they are, and if the Mckinley bill should be-
come law they would get more protec-
ton" Certainly they will. The Mckinley
bill proposes to give them SO much prOtec-
ton that next year the Fall River mills will
not have 10 shut down. 1t proposes TO give
these and other American mills consider
able proportion Of the work that is now
done in Europe. 1t is well known that the
products of American mills do not glut the
market We import largely OF the goods
these Fall River mills produce. These i'm
ported goods are sold in immense quantities
in our markets, and in consequence the
American mills have to close down. Our
free-trade contemporary thinks that the
fact that the Fall River mills are forced to
suspend for time is a conclusive argument
against the protective policy. 1t evidently
does not realize that in the absence OF a
protective tariff such mills would be COM
PEELED TO close permanently.
