WE believe the Anti Chinese Law
passed by Congress to be disgrace
to the boosted Christian Civilization
Of this Country, and we can readily
understand why two as prominent
Denominations as the Methodist and
Presbyterian Churches should be
apprehensive of the troubles that
may await their missionaries in
China.
Their apprehension cannot be
said to be without grounds. In the
formal objections made to the new
law by the Chinese Minister, the
details of which have just been made
public, there is strong hint that we
will hear more on this subject if the
new law is enforced, as it certainly will
be. 1t must not be forgotten that the
Chinese hostility to Christian miss
lonarles IS only Ill concealed at best.
In many of the provinces it is even
more unreasoning than the Western
antipathy to the Chinaman. Nearly
every edition of the illustrated
Chinese papers contains cartoons or
written articles portraying our
missionaries as enormous hogs or
other beasts fattening upon the
Chinese people, whom they are
accused of deceiving. What effect
the new law will have on such PEG
pie can only be conjectured; but the
Presbyterlans, and, in fact, all of the
sects, are justified in considering the
the subject in all its bearings.

The free coinage Democrats in

rule. Speaker Crisp has promised
to have such a rule reported from

ton to that effect from a majority Of
the Democrats of the House shall be

been obtained. If the remaining
nineteen that are required can be
had, the bill will again come up for
action. In that event, it would
surely be passed if the Republicans
should not vote solidly against it, as

Mr.. WILLIAM S. HOLMAN who
has represented Indiana in the lower
House of Congress for nearly q
generation, and has as an obstruc
zionist earned the soubriquet of the
"Great objector," came to grief last
week.
The test of sincerity comes to all
men, not when they are without
authority, but when they formulate
their theories into responsible action.
That test came to Mr.. Holman last
week. We can perhaps excuse his
conduct in appropriating S13,o
for the building of an embankment
two miles beyond the point of navi-
cation on the Great Miami river
merely because it was in his district.
But when we study the result of his
labors in committee we see that he
has been false not only to himself,
but also to his pledges of retrench-
ment. 1t must be remembered that
this IS the same Holman who has
traded for a lifetime on his disinter-
ested devotion to economy; who at
the beginning of the present session
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1892-05-14

on Sunday but if the gates were to be
oper on Sunday then the conference
was asked to oppose the appropriation.
The committee recommended that a
telegram bearing the sentiments OF the
report be seat ont al once 10 the Presl
dent OF the U1ited States and TO Con
gress. Several vigorous speeches were
made iavoring the resolution The
preamble and resolutions were indorsed,
hut were recommltted for revision
The committee was instructed TO tele
graph the sentiment of the conference
to the President and Congress.
An effort is being made to bring the
church north and south together, and
communication has already been
opered with the officers of the church
south by the committee on the state OF
the church.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1892-05-14

of Congress bound his party in the
House to policy of rigid reform,
and who only recently asserted that
the result OF his efforts would be
made apparent when the sum total
of the appropriations was announ
ced
Yet the total amount appropriated
for rivers and harbors was SCI, 346, :
| o75, to which must be added the,
additional sum OF $40, 7o2, 32I, which,
under the terms CT the committees
report, the Secretary of War is
bound to expend next year. The
grand total, S4S,o4e, 2o6, is larger by
half than that of any appropriations
committee which ever disbursed the
public funds. In the so called billion
dollar Congress of last year the
appropriation was less than twenty
millions.
But this is not the only respect in
which the present Congress has out
done its much despised predecessor.
1t is now as certain as it can well be
that the total OF all appropriations
made by Mr.. Holman's economic
House will exceed those of the last
"extravagant' Congress. 1t ap
pears from the statements OF Mr..
Holman himself that the best which
he now expects to do is to keep the
total slightly below the SI,ooo,ooo.-
900 mark, and his friends already
concede that it will exceed that fig
ure. They now put the appropria
tons for the first year of the present
session at S52I, 900, 900, which,
added to the fixed expenditures and
allowances tor next year, will make
the total something like 81, o37, ooo;-
900! This lamentable failure to
accomplish a single one OF Holman S
objects teaches two lessons most
impressively. Not only is it no
longer possible to run the govern
ment as it was run in Jeferson's or
| Jackson time, but the boasts OF
the Democracy as to any desire to
economize in the expenditure OF
public money are as baseless as the
Miami appropriation proves Mr..
Holman's reform pretenses to be.

THE divergent views of the Edi-
tors of Democratic journals as to the
availability of Pr, sidertial Candidates
are as amusing as they are instruc-
tive. The Atlanta Constitution de-
clares, with its hand on its heart,
that Cleveland's nomination means
Democratic suicide, while the Char
lesion MeUS and Courier says that
Cleveland alone can win. Farther
West Colonel Watterson has reduced
the sentiment to "Cleveland- or
Collapse, and the Adonis OF the
Everglades" -otherwise, Colonel
Charles Jones, of the ST. Louis
Rebu6Hc-calls the Hill boom a
bear pit thinly concealed. Palmer
alone will srit one faction in Chicago,
while Russell is the Massachusetts,
Moses and Boies the hope OF the
distant West. These, as Shake
spear once proclaimed, are grave
and reverend seignors, but no ocean
ever rolled between more divergent
views

THE opponents of the re-nomina.

THE opponents of the re-nomina-
ton of President Harrison, have
been stirred into renewed activity by
the visit OF Thomas c. Platt, of New
York, to Washington. They pre-
dict that great things will be done in
the next four weeks and that Mime
apolis will be the scene of a surprise
party that will astonish the
country and force the President from
the field.
How they are going to bring about
this surprise is not clear from any
thing that they have thus far said or
are known to have done. That they
are working in secret in coalesing
all the elements OF opposition to
Harrison is entirely clear. But they
have no candidate, or if thew have,
he has not yet been named; they are
without popular following or an
active popular sympathy, and the
contract which they have taken in
hand at this late hour must be ex-
ecuted within thirty days.
There is one and only one condi-
ton by which this opposition can be
Matched into successful consumma-
ton. This would be in an announce
ment that James G.. Blaine has with :
drawn his withdrawal and will accept
nomination. In no other way will
the opposition to the President be
able to make Roadway. That
Blame will do this is highly improb-
able. Of course, if he should do it,
there would be no doubt of his
nomination.
There IS no other Republican
whose name is potent enough now to
be used successfully in stampeding
the convention in face OF the strong
sentiment in behalf of Harrison. If
the anti Harrison men cannot per.
suade Blaine to step to the front,
they will play a losing game. They
are decided minority of the party,
SO far as they may attempt to con
centrate their forces on any other
candidate. The success of their
scheme rests solely on the contin-
gency that Blaine may be prevailed
upon to change his mind. This is
the whole situation in a nut shell.

ORDINARILY the public does not take
much interest in the reports of foods
from the lowlands of the Mississippi
Valley and those which contribute
their streams to swell the volume of
the Mississippi river itself, for the
reason that they occur every spring
but this year the loss OF life and pro-
perty is heavy enough to make it almost
a national calamity. No correct estl-
mate of the damage has yet been made,
for the too obvious reason that much
of it Is still unknown. Hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of acres of land
still lie under mud and water, with the
winter crops destroyed and the soil in
many places washed away. Houses
are gone, barns swept away and horses,
cattle and human beings either drowned
or carried many miles from their
homes. The unusual severity of the
loss is indicated by the official state
ment that the water in the Illinois
rlver is higher than il has been for fifty
years.
