A ESfEE-LfNE LAW.

Congressman Loud is reported as saying
that five-line law absolutely prohibiting
Chinese immigration Of any kind might be
enforced. II the act is made much longer
the courts Will pull it TO pieces. The de-
cisiOn liz the Lau Ow Bew case shows that
the courts will pull any Chinese exclusion
law To pieces If they can. The courts have
in fact made the issue OF an ron-bound ex
clusiOn law or none at all. Had restriction
laws been construed with fair regard TO
their purpose 10 exclusion law would have
become necessary. We might have admitted
merchants, tourists and students and have
excluded laborers. But the rulings OF
courts 10 his matter has made an exclusion
law necessary. Since the question has beep
raised whether it shall be exclusion or free
admission there can be but one answer from
this coast. The remark attributed to Gem
eral Cutting that lie could not see why mer-
chants should Dot be admitted might have
been made with more propriety by some
Eastern man who has not seen laborers ad-
mitied by the hundred on the pretense that
they were merchants. A representative
from San Francisco is supposed to know
what is going on in the courts of his own
district, and If he sees no reason why Chi
nese merchants should not be admitted
Eastern representatives will conclude that
there IS none. There is, in fact, no good
reason why merchants should be admitted
into the United STATES. What benefit. for
instance, is it to California to have this city
filled with Chinese merchants, who are inst
as immoral as the ordinary ChiDaman? Why
should not our merchants have the trade
which Justly belongs TO them? The United
States has no use for Chinese merchants.

The Production of Olives and Prunes
About Niles.
Correspondence of THE MORNING CALL

Warm Springs was one of the last districts
in the county TO take up the fruit industry and
this year the orchards there will make their
first showing and will aid eventually not
little to the agricultural wealth Of this town
ship. John l.. Beard has large vineyard,
fine winery there, and has the largest
olive orchard in this part of the State. The
olive, like the citrus fruits. has never taken
any place in our orchards as money-pro-
duccrs, but the time for experiment is past,
and the success of both olives and citrus
fruits is assured in this county.

1t is said that less dried fruit, aside from

AFTER BIG GUNS.

Several Towns Around the Bay Would

The organization of large and wealthy

RAILROAD MATTERS.
The San Francisco aud North Pacific Not
Likely TO BE Sold at Present.

The San Francisco aud North Pacific Not
Likely TO BE Sold at Present.
After ali the talk Of forced sale of the
San Francisco and North Pacific road BY
the executors of the Donahue estate it
seems more than probable that the line will
be operated for some time 10 come under
the present management. Officials of this
road are going on with certain improve
ments that would hardly be consistent with
The idea OF an immediate sale. The fact of
the matter is those on the inside are not ex-
rectlng bid high enough to take the prop
erty. and the executors firmly believe that
they will be able to hold it against the
wishes Of a few small claimants The heavy
legateeS are not pressing the sale and pre-
fer to see the road operated as at present
1t Is said that those having minor claims
against the estate can be satisfied in a short
time by reason of the rapidly increasing
revenue. and when this is done there will
be no good reason for a sale.
OF course the road would go at once il a
bid was made according to the executors
idea of It's true value. bat this is not looked
for.
The Santa Fe offered S5,5OO,OOO. and a
combination OF local capitalists raised the
latter line So, 900. but the Donahue road is
still in the hands of the executors and likely
TO remain there.
An important change takes place to-day

The rumor that the Santa Fe line has given
notice OF an open cut on the second-class
passenger rate between Missouri River

without foundation. This line always orders
