WHAT roLLowsq

The Hon. Ezra b. Taylor of Ohio recently
said in the House that there had never been
such blow given to State rights as is
given in the originaI-package decision
Taking this speech as text the New York
Herald argues that the police power is the
highest power known to government, and
is not limited in its legitimate exercise
either by State or Federal constitutions.
The argument goes on to show that in the
matter of protecting the people against i'm
morality, disease and danger. the State can
not be restrained from interfering even
with interstate commerce when such in
reference is necessary to the protection of
the morals, health, or safety of the people.
The point in this Argument seems to be as
to the ennence of the danger against
which the police power of State may prop
erly protect its people. If this danger is
sufficiently eminent, the State may exercise
all the police power necessary to ward it
off; but if the danger is remote, the general
law would stand. The Constitution gives
Congress the power to regulate interstate
commerce. 1t will be admitted that this
power which protects articles of commerce
brought from one State to another from
confiscation and process of law may be sus-
pended when the preservation OF that

PERPETUAL ExCLUsIoN.


The Exclusion Bill which Mr.. Morrow
from the Committee on Foreign Affairs has
reported has the true ring. There Is no
doubt of its purpose. The trouble with re-
stricton bills has been that they made too
many EXCEPTIONS; if laborer could not
get in on one preteXt he could turn 10
another. He had so many chances that,
under the law OF chance, he was pretty
sure to succeed. The Morrow bill excludes
everybody but diplomatic and consular rep
resentatlves and their household servants.
The strength of the bill lies in its bold an d
clear expression of purpose. 1t abrogates
all treaties not in harmony with it; it de-
clares itself to be the latest expression of
the will of q sovereign people; it does not
apologize for itself; it plants itself upon
the principle that a nation may refuse to
admit within its family circle people
whom it deems undesirable. The prin-
cple now asserted against the Chinese may
be applied where the will of the people
chooses to apply it. 1t is not necessary to
90 over the old ground of argument in
justification of the exclusion of Chinese.
The bill saws that the argument has been
closed on that point by three successive
acts of Congress. Both national parties
are COUliDllleu 10 lue tACluolDn PuliCNs 1hO
Republicans, being now in power, become
the special champions of the bill. An issue
has .been found upon which the Democrats
will be forced by their own record to vote
with their political opponents. The ex-
perienced hand of W. w. Morrow is seen
in every line of the bill. 1t is safe to say
that if Mr. Morrow had not been reelected
two years ago this bill would never have
been reported. a new member could not
have secured the position on the committee
which would enable him to report it. I'm
der these circumstances the proposition to
take Morrow from the House and make him
Governor Of the State is a kind of folly
Another man may succeed Mr. Morrow in
the House, but no other can get his place
on committees. No one can 60 there with
the influence Mr.. Morrow has acquired
during his six years of service. 1t should
be remembered that, while this bill may
get through the present Congress, it is more
likely to go over to the next The work Of
the present session is pretty we'll laid out,
ana the second session will be short. If
the Representative of California who re-
ports this bill is not in the next House, the
conclusion will be fair that California did
not sustain him.

MIR. BLAINE TKIUMPHS.

There appears to have been kind of in
tellectual duel between the President and
Mr.. Blaine. from which the latter came
away in triumph. The subject of discus
sion was if reciprocity was consistent with
the protective policy, and if so if the con-
ditions favor treaties of that nature with
Central and South American countries
The President took the negative and Mr..
Blaine the affirmative. Mr.. Wanamaker
was called in as an expert, and arfayed
himself on the side Of Mr.. Blaine. Other
experts were sum moned, but among them
there appears to have been none who
helped the President to maintain his posi-
ton. 1t is now said that the President
will recommend change in the Mckinley
Tariff Bill in accordance with Mr.. Blaine's
reciprocity ideas If this report is true it
leaves the Reed Mckinley combination
against Blaine in a bad condition. No
public man has gained more signal vic
tory within bis party since the day when
President Lincoln let his Cabinet know
that himself had been elected President
not Mr.. Seward or Mr.. Chase. Mr.. Blaine
stood alone when he sprung the reciprocity
idea upon the country, but re-enforcements
have come in rapidly. Under the direction
Of so skilful a hand as Blaine's, reciprocity
treaties may be framed which will permit

EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t is probable that the Senate ana House
VIII compromise their differences over that
section of the Sundry Civil Appropriation
Bill relative to the irrigation problem.
Senator Allison sanguinely claims that the
result will be the repeal of the Arid Land
act and the refusal TO make an appr0pria-
tion 10 allow Major Powell to continue his work.
There are, however, members of the lower
House who strenuOusly oppose the action OF the
Senate. claiming that The law which preserves
the use Of water In The arid region 10 the people
OF the United States ought not to be summarily
repealed without making some provision pre-
serving the water for the benefit OF The people
Their idea is To provide safeguards against the
rapaeious designs of SPECTATORS. Al all events,
Congress should lose time in providing for the
continuation of the surveys In some form or an
Other. Many claim 1t would be more satisfactory
TO let the Agricultural Department continue the
work than have action deferred forthe session.

ABOUT MONEY.

Senator Jones is reported as saying /:
"The part of their (the Farmers Aliance)
movement on which look with the most
interest is the demand for the issuance of
money upon products-corn, wheat oats,
etc. 1t is going to make the men who have
been crying for years that money must have
an intrinsic value take a new view of
things" The first essential in money is
value, the second the quality of divisibility.
q gold or silver dollar has both qualities {;
it has intrinsic value and it can be made to
take a form convenient for purposes of ex-
change. Suppose the law made wheat
money, how would we manage to put wheat
in a convenient form? If hundred pounds
of wheat should be declared a legal tender
dollar, how could the wheat be delivered?
Mr.. Jones says that if a man had to choose
between wheat and gold on which to sub
s.st a number of years he would choose
wheat But in placing man in position
where money cannot be exchanged for the
necessaries Of life he takes the case out of
the range Of ordinary experience. The
question is not whether wheat or gold is the
better food. but which makes the better
medium Of exchange. The qualities of both
gold and silver are such that they can be
put into a convenient form to serve as me-
dunn Of exchange. One can carry dollar
Of either metal in ones pocket, but not a
wheat dollar. corn dollar or an earth dol
lar. An acre of land may be worth one
hundred dollars, but the land is not sus-
ceptibie of being put in the form of cur
reney. Mr.. Jones says that lie holds that a
medium of exchange once decided upon may
be anything which the Government selects
and gives the name of money. 1t is pity
MIR. Jones did not go into details and in
form the public how wheat or land may be
put in the form of currency. The value
is in either substance, but neither can be
put into a convenient form to be handled.
II may be said that wheat may be stored
and certificates signed against it. But
wheat is a perishable article ana eonse-
quently unsafe to serve even as the basis Of
. currency Land is not open to the same
objection, but while imperishable it is in
convenient OF delivery. The value of cur
rency depends upon the facility with which
it can be converted into money possessing
an intrinsic value. A note promising to
pay SO many dollars in COLA or silver passes
from hand to hand because each holder
knows that the thing promised can be
delivered when called for.

FOR MARKHAM.

Ex-senator A P. Williams and eX-COn-
gresham c.. n. FELTON, are both reported
for Markham. The ground they take is
substantially that taken by THE CALL
thai it won be bad politics 20 nominate a
san Francisco man for Governor, with
Senator Stanford in the field for reelection
for Senator There is good deal of street
tllk to the effect that Stanford favors Nor
row. WeIl-iuformed Republicans believe,
however, that Stanford cares more for his
own reelection than he does for the choice
among aspIrants for Governor. He wants
the men at the head of the State ticket
who will give the greatest strength to the
county tickets. He needs above all candi-
date for Governor who will hold southern
Republicans to the legislative ticket. The
danger to the Republican legislative ticket
lies in the south. White is popular in his
nome, and if Republicans are sOured by
tie defeat of their candidate for Governor
there is danger that the southern counties
will send more Democrats to the Legsla-
ture than Mr.. Stanford will like to see.
Party considerations aside, it is but fair
that the southern candidate for Govern or
should be nominated.

On July 14th Mrs. Eichelbaum of S03
Ellis street had her purse, containing $50,
snatched from her hand by a thief, who
made his escape. The lady, however, had
so good a view of the fellow that she re-
tanned his image in her eye and memory
distinctly. On Tuesday night Officer G. +.
Castro noticed William Wilkinson, whom
lie suspected of being a thief, acting in a
suspicious manner, and arrested him and
locked him up. Yesterday Mrs. Eichel-
baum called at the City Prison, and the
moment she saw him she recognized him as
being the one who snatched her pocket
book. A charge Of robbery was then en-
tered against his name.
