The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-02-27

The Seattle Board Of Trade has prepared
and sent to Senator Kinnear, for introduc-
ton in the legislature, . bill providing for
official inspection of all kerosene oil
brought into the state. The necessity for
this measure grows out Of the fact that at
least one-half of the oil received here is of
inferior quality, subject to explosion or
ignition at comparatively low temperature.
1t is asserted by underwriters that very
large proportion, by some estimated a.
high as so per cent, of the fires in the
larger cities are directly due to oil ex-
plosions. It is believed that careful official
inspection will remedy the evil. An Incl
dental advantage, and one not to be con-
sidered as trifiing, would be to save the
public from the petty swindle now i'm
posed upon it by the jobbers who supply
the state with oil. The bill is q good one
and it ought to become law.

THE CHINESE EVIL.

A bill is pending in the California legis-
lsture having for its object the restriction
Of Chinese immigration. 1t is said to be
supplemental to the existing federal law,
and intended to take the place of the latter
at the expiration of the term for which it
Is operative. The bill is also said to have
been drawn and transmitted by an assist
ant in the Office Of the Secretary of the
Treasury at Washington.
Leading California papers express strong
doubts that any such legislation by the
state is conformable to the federal consti-
tuition or would be ct al effective. These
doubts seem to b shared by influential
members of the legislature, and it is ques-
tionable whether the bill viii pass, not
withstandins its distinguished paternity.
But all are agreed that the future of Call

Chinese into her labor element. These
are now estimated ct 7i,6Sl, which figures
are supposed to fall considerably short Of
the actual number. But the telling point
on the growth and prospects of the state
is comprised in the facts that these people
have no families, build no homes, make no
substantial Improvements, and above all,
that they repel others Who would comply
with these requirements.

GROWTH or UNIoNIsM.

An occasional overhauling of American
history would benefit those who think, or
affect or try to think that appreciation of
the union and Of republican institutions
is and has been on the wane. There are
no doubt many who imagine that our fore

were much stronger on these points than
are their descendants of the present day.
but there is no lack Of record evidence that
this is far from being true.
Among the sixty-four million of our
present population there is absolute unan-
imity-at least none would venture to as
sert the contrary-on the proposition that
"the constitution is the palladium of our
liberties" and the more perfect union that
il established is precious beyond price.
But investigation will show that at the
very outset the men Of one hundred years
ago had but dim conception of the value
Of either the constitution or the union.
This is put beyond question by the off,
cial records. which show that of the sixty.
three men originally delegated to frame the
constitution ten did not attend, and of these
absentees only two vacancies were filled.
II goes without saying that these condi-
tons would not appear under like circum-
stances now. and would not have occurred

course, failed. The proposition came from
few hot-heads in the Pierce county dele

has plunged their senatorial candidate

would, indeed, have been an extraordinary
thing to expel member for exposing an

Paper Made From Lous.

Chauncey NJ. Depew is such a keen
observer and accurate and able reporter
that, if he were old enough, he might be
suspected Of being the bright boy in the
chldren's story Of Eyes and No Eves,"
"Growed Up" He always brings back
lots to talk about from his travels and
voyages, even his little ones. Speaking
the other day about his recent trip over
the Rome and Watertown Road, he said;

with them serious epidemics and fatal

place that any man would want to take
anybody to, except his ckeditors, and he
would take Them there upon the chance
that he would get rid of part of them
from the diseases which they might con
tract.

Tho Australian farmer is eagerly en-.
gagged in turning his attention to tha
cultivation Of cotton, and every assist
ance is being given him by the Colonial
authorities. Immense quantities of ex
cesieat cotton also grow wild in Africa,
and the opening up of that continent to
trade may result in the extension of its
cultivation and export, placing it, in the
opinion Of the American Agriculturist, in
formidable rivalry with both India and
America. The cotton plant, moreover,
IS indigenous ia many of the islands in
