General Dabney II. Maurv.

A campaign story, originating with Mr..
WHrTELAw REID's New York Tribune, seeks
to disparage Mr.. CLgyELAND's claims upon
the consideration of northern voters by
alleging that Mr.. CLEVELAND appointed as
Minister to Colombia General DABNEY H..
MAUBY, who, besides being an ex-Contede-
rate, was dismissed" from the United
States army before the war.
All the foundation there is for this story
is that General MAURY. then Captain
MAURY, resigned his commission and left
his post in New Mexico TO cast his fortunes
with the southern States. thereby doing
as scores of other officers from the South
did.
Very recently personal friend Of Gene
raj MAURY called his attention 10 the Tri-
June's libel. and at the formers suggestion
the General wrote the letter to the DIS
PATCH which appears in our columns this
morning.
1t disposes OF the whole matter by a
plain, straightforward statement which all
who know General MAUBY--as thousands
North and South do-will accept as tho
absolute and unqualified truth.

A Related Issue.

There comes TO US from West Virginia
the cry that in that State the Republicans
charge Mr.. CLEVELAND with having, as
Governor Of New York, favored mixed
schools. We and thousand other papers
corrected this story upon official testimony
eight years ago, and buried IL so deep that
we never expected to hear of it again.
There is no truth in the charge. Mr..
CLEyELAND's record on this subject is clear,
but We cannot exhume it only five days be-
fore the election. II is preposterous
story 10 view of the fact that all the south.
ern States are going to vote for HIM for
President on his record as much as on his
extraordinary abilities. He is perhaps bet
ter fitted to fill that Office than any other
man in the United States. But he would
be spewed out of the mouths of the south.
ern people If he were in favor of mixed
schools.
In a word, the story is a Roorback--
stnrtcd just long enough before the cleo
ton to prevent its contradiction in the
country districts.

The Bayonet In Sight.

Behind the instructions which United
States Attorney General MILLER has sent
out to all parts of the country for the gov
eminent OF the Federal supervisors Of
election and deputy marshals, the bayonet
stands revealed 10 every eye which is not
blinded by psrtisanship. The devilish
work of the enemies Of our free govern
ment has begun in earnest. The lntimi-
dators dId not begin to lay hands upon the
free citizens of this country until MIR.
MILLER had fully instructed them IN regard
TO the powers which he should claim for
the sappers and miners whom he has set
70 work TO undermine the republic. Mr..
MILLER tells his subordinates in effect that
they may proceed to carry the election by
force. and he will stand between them and
harm. He fourishes the bayonet In sight
Of the voters. and tells them that it is to
be used by the Republican officers of cleo
ton.
What means this conduct on the part of
the Attorney-General of the United
Statesl Only few days ago the whole
Republican party was engaged IN declaring
upon every stump that the force bill was
bugbear. and that there was no danger
whatever of the appearance of the bay
onet IN the battles between the voters as
10 which party should have the control of
the government. This people everywhere
were assured in the most unambiguous
language that the Republicans had no in
tention of endeavoring to perpetuate
their rule by the use OF force. The orators
and journals Of the Republican party
averred most solemnly that they had never
for one moment contemplated even the
possibility Of carrying by tho use of the
bayonet elections which they could not
carry by the proper use OF the ballot-box.
But now all is changed. Behind every
voter stands soldier. In every soldiers
hands Is q musket. He has been instructed
% do work which cannot be done in q free
republic.
MIR. MILLER quotes President CLKvT-
LANDS instructions to Attorney General
GARLAND TO sustain his instructions. But
there is nothing in mere verbisge. The
words as used by Mr.. CLEVELAND had
very different meaning from the same
words as used by Attorney General MILLER.
When MIR. CLEVELAND instructed Mr.. GAR
LAND To 90 only as far as "the Constitution
and laws" authorized him to go he meant
what he said. When Attorney g eneral
MLLEn uses the same words he means to
instruct his subordinates TO 20 the whole
length Of the law as 1t il construed by
Republican partisans bent upon eleetine
their candidate for President by fair means
or foul Mr.. MILLER means TO use the
army II necessary to ressst Mr.. HAsRIsoE
IN the executive chair and fix himself
IN the Attorney Generals Office. A soldier
behind every voter and g bsyonet in every

But the facts speak louder than would any
language which we could employ. Look

elections - II stands revealed in oil its

Mr.. Cleveland 20 Business.Men.


The speech made by Mr.. CLEVELAND on
Tuesday night to the business men Of New
York uas Characteristic OF the distinguish
cd ex-President. He had marked ont
line OF argument. and he "hewed TO the
line He talked plainly but forcibly. as
he always talks. He holds. TO his conf
dence in the people, let come what will.
"None of u.s." says he. "can complain OF

rarty-the offscouring of the earth in New
York oity--is TO be accorded the privilege
Of stationing Federal supervisors and
deputy marshals at the bailot-box, guard
ed by Federal soldiers with guns in their
hands.
Mr.. CLEVELAND made appropriate quail
fication Of the remark we have just quoted
from his speech by referring TO the boast
that the presidency could be bought. He
said:
"lt Ia q confession most humiiiating TO Amcri-
can citizenship that, with cause so thoroughly

THE CHINESE INVASION.

When Mr.. Huntington said the other day
that for thirty years Chinese had been al
lowed to come and 90 between China and
the United States at will he had reference
doubtless to the action of the Federal Gov
eminent. Chinese began to come TO Cali
fornla in 1919 and there has been no year
since when a considerable number have not
come. yet the first Federal law restricting
Chinese immigration was passed in 1882.
But in the meantime the State of Califor-
MIA had been protesting against the invasion
in one way and another. When in early
days Chinese overTan the placer mines they
were only allowed TO work cast-off ground
In localities miners expelled them from the
districts these rules and regulations might
cover. In 1852 Governor Bigler received
news that an unusually large Chinese
immigration might be expected and made
the intelligence the subject of special
message to the Legislature, urging action
TO protect the State from undesirable
population. An act was passed levy
ing tax Of 81 per month on all Chinese
in the State. Chinese tax collectors were
appointed for the several counties and
the revenue from this source was for sixteen
years an important feature ia county
finances. This served as ii kind OF restriction
act which proved the more effective because
it was enforced. The report going to China
that Chinese in California, whether success
ful or not, had to pay 81 each month for the
privilege Of living in the State checked the
tide that was setting this way. But the
railroad companies were friendly to the Chi
nese then as now. These companies wanted
cheap labor and there was none so cheap as
the Chinese. In 1867 the railroad lobby in
Washington secured the passage OF law TO
establish subsidized line of steamers to
China and about the same tire Leland
Stanford, as president of the Central Pa
cific, made contract with the Chinese Six
Companies to bring 10000 Chinese to the
United States. In 1868 railroad Influence
procured from the United States Supreme
Court decision declaring the California
tax law unconstitutional. From that date
until 1882 there was no legal restriction
The people. however. were so bitterly op-
posed to Chinese that the immigration was
not SO large as it otherwise would have
been. Ii a ChiBaman displaced but one
white man the effect Of their presence would
not be so bad. But the fact OF Chinese COM
petition keeps white men away. A good
MANY white lab0rers have in the past left
the State on that account. The State would
without reasonable doubt have population
OF 100000 at the preseLt time il there had
been no Chinese admitted.
The morning call., 1892-04-27
RAILROAD INFLUENCE IN THE
SENATE.

The argument which Mr.. Huntington
sent over the wire to Senator Frye against
the Geary Chinese exclusion bill was silly.
bu! apparently effective. The Senators who
had voted for the Scott act of 1888 became
suddenly convinced that they had aided
legislation of which they ought to be
asha med. The old treaty between the
United States and China, which the Scott
act abrogated. suddenly assumed a new
sacredness when Mr.. Huntington Informed
the Senate that in seven years American
roads had been patr0nized to the extent of
S350,000. 1t is not probable that Hunting
toms argument in itself was so convincing
as the intimation it carried-that Senators
TO stand we'll with the railroad must vote
against the pending Chinese exclusion bill.
Two Pacific Coast Senators out of six
lodged the issue. Stanford was absent, as
usual, and Dolph practically went over to
the other side. FELTON,. Mitchell, Jones and
Stewart voted for exclusion. A graYer
question, If possible, than Chinese exclusion
Is thus presented. LII Senators from all
parts OF the Union flop when a railroad
millionaire cracks his whip. what chances
nave the people to be heard in Congress?
What rights have the people which the rail-
road companies are bound to respect? Mr..
Huntington at one time said that he pro-
posed to take the Southern Pacific Railroad
out OF politics. Yet 1t was the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company which spoke SO
potentially in the Senate @ few days ago.
1t was the dread of railroad enmity which
Induced SO many Senators to turn on the
