THEIR PICTURES 10 BE TAKEN


The Chinese in wnosling Pleased with
one OF the ProvisIonS Of the Exclusion
Act.
There is nothing in the Chinese faith
%forbidding the Photographic ~reprOdnc-
ton OF their c~ountenances. At Least
the Chinese residents Of Wheeling
know nothing about 1t. Stories Of a
unloading character have been pub
lished in newspapers outside Of Wheel
ing, leading people to believe that the
Chinese as q class are opposed to the
registration provision Of the exclusion
act, which will oon be enforced all
over the country, wherever there are
Chinese. The law requires each China
man to register his name in
the Office Of the collector OF
internal revenue in the district
In which he resides. To carry out
in full the provisions Of the act, all
Cinnamon must have three photo
graphs of themselves taken, which are
kept on file. When a Chinaman goes
to his native land and returns, he is
compelled TO show his certificate and
one of the photographs, in order to
prove at the port Of his entry, that he
was a resident OF this country at the
time the exclusion act was passed, and
is thus entitled to return. To the eau
casian eye all Cinnamon look more or
less alike, and no government inspec-
tor would pretend to identify one from
another by referring to their passports,
unless in cases Of strongly marked tea-
lures. Consequently, to identity HIM
SELF, the new arrival must show his GER
tificate and photograph.
That the idea that all Cinnamon look
alike is absurd, is easily shown:
when l first came to America" said
Flo Why, an intelligent Chinaman, a
member of the First Presbyterian
church, and a bright fellow all around;
"When / first came to America l
thought all smooth faced Americana
looked alike, and 1t was only after |
became accustomed to their racial
peculiatities"-Ho Why didn't use
these words exactly, but that Is what
he meaut-"that l was able to recog-
nize people. Now look at those China
men sitting there, and at myself. There
is Just as much difference in our faces
as there would be in the faces Of four
Americans, who might happen to be
together"
The internal revenue department has
charge OF the enforcement of the regis
tration provisions of the exclusion act,
and the deputies at the custom house
will do the work in this city. The
blanks will not arrive until about the
beginning Of September, and the
twelve Chinese in this city will then be
registered. This provision Of the law
pleases them. Heretofore they have
been afraid to visit their old home, lest
they should be forbidden to land on
their return. They feel relieved that
some means have been provided where
by they can visit their native country,
with the assurance that their return to
America will not be prevented. Chinese
property owners are exempt from the
provisions OF the exclusion act.

THE n'GARRAHAN CLAIM.

We have seen no statement of the reasons
given by Mr.. Harrison for vetoing the bill
to refer McGarrahan's claim to the court Of
claims. but we can hardly imagine any just
reason for such action. This is a matter in
which the President should properly follow
the judgment of Congress. IL is not a mat
ter in which the Executive should exercise
a veto Whatever interest the United States
has in the matter is one which Congress pro
perly represents, and the people of the
United States, through their representatives,
said that they thought it incumbent upon
their dignity and sense of justice that the
claimant should have an opportunity to
assert his claim before judicial tribunal
where the rights of all parties could be
calmly and impsrtially passed upon. IL was
right from every possible point Of view that
this should be done. and the Congress of
the United States was the party to do it.
There was. therefore. no sort of proprlety
in the Executive interfering with the dis
erection of Congress in such matter.
But statements made in the public press
excite fear that there may be q
great scandal involved in the veto. 1t is
said that the millionaire d. o. Mills. White
law Reds father-in-law has drawn and
continues TO draw his enormous income
chiefly from the mines claimed by Nc
Garrahan and that decision by the court
of claims favorable to McGarrahan would
be most disastrous to Mills. The public has
long ago settled down to the conclusion tina.
Reid was nominated for yice-President as a
way of getting access to Mills pocket. and
now the charge comes that the President has
vetoed the bill under Mills influence.
The circumstances lend only too much
color to the charge. Why should Mr.. Har-
rison have vetoed this billY 1t is q private
bill with which the public has no concern,

The case which Mr.. Watson. of Georgia,
the Third party member Of Congress, has
made. is one in which the House may easily
90 wrong and do what NAV bring discredit
mon it, as it is also one in which it may
take diguifed stand and assert its priYi-
leges in way 10 increase the respect of the
country for it,
Mr.. Watson out Of the House is private
citizen. who has a right to print anything
about the House that any other private eiti-
zen may print He may publish book
charging that a Democratic Congress, being
pledged to reform. have not reformed; being
pledged to economy, have not economical;
being pledged to legislate. have not legis-
lated.
He may charge that extravaganza is the
order of the day; that absenteeism was
never so pronounced; that the lack of pur-
pose was never 80 clear; that the lack Of
business prudence was never 80 glazing.
These are the customary and hackneyed
charges that one political party always
makes against another, and if he were de-
MED the right to breath them the average
citizen would feel that his privileges were
as deeply invaded as the English peasentry
felt theirs were when Parliament changed
the calendar and stole eleven days from
them" Further. when Citizen Wat
son charged in his book that Drunken
members have reeled about the aisles a
disgrace to the republic; drunken speakers
have debated grave issues on the floor. and
in the midst of maudlin ramblings have
been heard TO ask: Mr.. Speaker, where am
at?'" he made statements which, If false,
were very aggravating to members OF
Congress and statements for which Con-
eress. in its despotic control over matters
affecting it's privileges, might undoubtedly
have severely disciplined the author 1 a
member II. however. the matter had stood
in that form simply, Congress would have
been wise 10 pay no attention to the book.
But Mr.. Watson has now stood on the
floor of the House and has
deliberately defed the House
with statement that every charge is true.
He mas now made the case very different
one from campaign charges made in those
publications for political effect. He has
solemnly challenged the dignity Of the ma
ton and put an affront upon the whole
American people. Congress owes 1t 10 IT.

and if they be found to be false. to admin
lister to him the severest possible discipline.
We refer, of course, only to the charges at
fecting the personal conduct of members.

DOING AND BEING.

The theologians tell us that the final judy
ment will probably be rather trial and de-
termination of actual character and generous
result than an account of special doings and
omissions of each one of u.s. There is no
estimating the possible results of what We
say or do. and ii is an exceedingly diff
cult thing to estimate the merit or import
snce Of our greatest or least
achievement. In this, measure
ment the last is often first and the first last.
Our indiscretlons serve US well, and in our
bigger endesvors we only industriousiy play
the fool. A merciful providence defeats the
accomplishment OF our enterprises highest
reared. mere necessary accident effects
our success. And what We brag Of was in
fact sort Of parenthetc clause that might
have been left out without affecting the re-
suit. The immortal part of an undertaking
is Its motive and guiding principle. Its
success or failure is merely how it is worked
into the general plan. These are the Sc
cret things that from within dehle or glorify
the man.
Such u view of the case seems very reason
able and natural. for if good people are all
to live together hereafter il one or many
mansions and are TO be rewarded for what
they have done, and are to spend their time
in recounting their good deeds it would be
unreasonable to hope for either silence OF
harmony in Heaven. Saints might be
found-like the cherubim-fuT Of rs within
and without. But IL, on the contrary, good
actions and deeds are to be taken az mere
exercises of loyalty and affection to Supreme
Goodness and Mercy-as a love of natural

ment; as leaves. blossoms and fruit
