CHINEsE-MADE LAW.

The Chinese Six Companies say that
Congress has NO power to provide de-
portaton as penalty tor any crime" II
will be admitted that the constitution does
not expressly confer power upon Congress
to send criminals out of the country. But
the constitution gives Congress general
power to make laws to promote the public
welfare, leaving specific measures to the
discretion OF Congress. Congress has exer-
cised the right to prohibit Chinese from
coming to the country, and by correspond
ing exercise of power may send persons out
who have entered unlawfully. The purpose
Of the registration act is not TO send Chi
nese out of the country but to esta blish a
rule under which the right of those lawfully
In the country shall be recognized. and
which shall also prevent further unlawful
immigration. If the Chinese Six Companies
will look clearly into the law which regu-
lates the immigration of Chinese they will
find that Congress is exercising no power
other nations have not exercised when
there was occasion for It.

WHO PROPOSE TO RULE.

We publish in another column list Of
delegates TO what is termed by the Chronicle
the Republican nominating convention.
consisting Of 167 delegates. of which 90 are
holding Office under the Kelly and Crimmins
regime at the present time. There are also
y delegates whose names do not appear in
the city directory. Ninety-six delegates
who are ofice-holders and II delegates
whose names are not even In the city
directoryl Is this the kind Of nominating
convention TO which San Francisco must
submit? And are they such persons as can
be trusted to nominate candidates for Office?
THE CALL thinks not. 1t ought to be
City Hall who should not be trusted with
the summOning or management Of juries.
Indeed. San Francisco has been ruled by
the class of persons who are now at work
TO select candidates to be voted into office
by Independent Republicans at the ap-
preaching election. Nor is there an essen
tial difference between the men who are
managing the nominating conventions of
the two parties-Repubican or Democratic.
Oar citizens will be plundered in the event
OF The success Of either. There are num-
bers of men who have occupied positions of

CHINESE CITIZENS.

The Chinese Six Companies in their
answer to Collector Quinn's official letter
concerning registration make the following
absurd assertion:
The law makes no distinction between Chinese
who are aliens and Chinese who are citizens OF
the United States.
There are no Chinese citizens OF the
United States. Children Of Chinese parents
born in the United States are not Chinese.
The registration law does not apply to
them. Their right TO live in the country in
which they were born will not be ques-
toned But such persons will be required
to furnish proof of the fact of American
birth. The registration law applies to all
Chinese whom the exclusion acts include
among the classes whose immigration into
the United States may be prohibited. Chi
nese whom the law does not exclude NAV
remain upon proof that they belong to the
privileged classes. There is much reason
for the belief that the Six Companies do not
oppose the Geary act so much because of
the inconvenience it Will subject Chinese to
as because of the check it will be upon I'M
lawful immigration. At the present time
Chinese who succeeds in landing or in
crossing the border has presum ptiYe right
70 TbIldlu Utio. l1b apparently cldUuS Uu
the same footing with Chinese who are
lawfully in the country. The burden of
proof that he is not remains with the au-
thorities. But under the registration act
Chinese without a certificate will be pre-.
sumptiyely Hnlawfully in the country. 1t
will rest with him TO show that lie was In
the country before the act went into effect
and that he complied with its requirements.
The Chinese Six Companies undoubtedly
propose to import Chinese laborers as fast
as those now in this country take their de-
parture. Each year a certain number Of
Chinese return to their native country.
Under the act of 1883 those who go have no
right to return. The Six Companies natur-
ally want to put man in the place OF each
departing Chnaman. They are willing to
stand the cost of smuggling Chinese In II
there is an assurance that he may remain,
but if lie is likely 10 be deported bringing

THE DOLLAR LIMIT.

The Kelly Crlmmils convention toed the
mark Tuesday evening in respect to the
dollar limit. 1t fixed the tax levy and the
basis of taxation at the same point as the
Non Partisans and the Democratic party
had previously done. So far as is heard
from there is now no organization that has
not been converted to the dollar limit rule.
But it is apparent that the City Hall en-
ployes. who composed the bulk of the
Kelly-Crimmins convention, took the dollar
limit pledge rather because they realized
that they had to than because they liked it.
They avoided pinning the County Clerk
down to tho $1,000 a month which the Nom
Psrtisans and the Democrats had thought
sufficient The fact that County Clerk
Davies had conducted the Office efficiently
for two years on $1,000 month does not
seem TO have occurred to the convention as
precedent worthy OF mention.

Spitzenberg, and those who are acquainted
with that fruit can estimate what its quail
ties should be. The news of this monster
will appear in Eastern papers. As the
Eastern people are well acquainted with
apples of prime growth they may ask them
selves whether such product is as valuable
as sound Newtown pippin OF exquisite
flavor.
1t is An impressive fact to learn that bear
hunters setting out for the mountains from
Fresno County are far more afraid of Evans
and Sontag, the train-robbers, than Of all
the grizzlies they can possibly encounter.
Evans and SOntag are diligent readers of
the daily press, more for the purpose of
keeping their own skins intact than of
studying politics. Taking advantage Of this
fact the bear-hnnters announce that they
will not shoot Evans and Sontag should
they sight them, and hope that the train
robbers will be similarly merciful to them.
This is direct compliment to the despera-
does. Nevertheless the hunters may tramp
through the canyons with fear and trem-
bling, and the better for protection might
carry bear flag"

The quarantine operations at New York,
with consequent hardsbips thrown upon
hundreds Of saloon passengers, have had an
unexpected effect. Americans who fed to
England from the Continent are apparently
resolved to remain there until the present
scare is over. They have at least the conso-
lation OF knowing that no cholera exists in
England. Trade is very depressed, but
overlooking hotels must somewhat soothe
the British in times OF gloom.

AS TO HOLDOVER SENATORS.
Their Position Trembling In the Legal
Balance.

Their Position Trembling In the Legal
Balance.
Yesterday the Supreme Court heard argu-
ments on a petition by F. S. Jennings for a
writ of mandate compelling Governor Mark
ham to call special election for a Senator
in the Fortielh District, comprising the
county of San Diego.
1t appears that Ii. NJ. Streeter had been
elected Senator Of the Fortieth when it
comprised San Diego and San Bernardino
Now since the reapportionment of districts
as he resides In San Bernardino, it is
claimed that the Fortleth District has no
representative.
All the Justices were present except JUS
tice Harrison.
Attorney General Hart, CARAT McEn-
erny and j. e. Campbell appeared for the
holdoyer Senators, who will have TO stand
for reelection if the writ be granted. and
James a. Gibson appeared for petitioner,
Jennings.
The argument came down into a question
rs to whether the fact of Streeter's change
OF residence invaidated his standing or not
Justice Garoutts remarked that Streeter
had apparently always resided in the
Fortieth District, as required by law. He
had not moved, but the district had moved
Finally the case was ordered by Chief
Justice Beatty to be submitted on briefs as
soon as possible.

OUTSIDE LAND TITLES.

The Academy of Sciences Loses a Re
served Lot.
Yesterday Judge Finn of the Superior
Court rendered decision in favor of the
city for possession Of an outside lot claimed
by the Academy Of Sciences.
The decision is specially interesting as de-
fining the powers Of the Supervisors to re-
serve outside lands for private parties.
According to the court the lands have
been decided by the Supreme Court to be-
long to the city, and the Supervisors had no
right to reserve the lot in question for the
Academy Of Sciences, which is private
corporation.
The land must be held to belong to the
city and free from any claims of the
plaintiff.
The lot is situated on the east line OF First
avenue. 100 feet north of Point Lobos ave-

immigrants into the country at cost of
$50 head might be a losing business. OF
course as the number OF Chinese in the
country decreases so will the business of
the Six Companies decrease. Their deal
ings are mostly with their countrymen. In
opposing the Geary act They are acting
rather in their own interest than in the in
terest of the Chinese laborers. But their
relations with the laborers are such that the
latter apparently have no chance but to do
as the SIX Companies may direct.

MR. HUNTINGToN's THREATS.

An interview with G. P. Huntington ap-
peared 10 the columns of a San Francisco
newspaper on Tuesday, which we doubt not
was drawn up with care and published by
authority. at least it has the appearance
of having been published as a species of
threat for San Francisco and the State of
California, casting slur upon San Fran
cisco by saying that cur citizens sat at the
gateway of the ocean and collected tolls
and high tUlls-of all commerce that came
into this State" Possibly these men may
have some complaint to make against the
railroad company Then Mr.. Huntington
makes the following announcement:
Now, as to whether a railroad should interfere
10 politics to protect itself against unjust egisla-
tion, think ii goes without saying that the law
OF sel'-preservation is a universal law. and II the
railroad Is attacked by the demagOgues OF the
State II will defend itself. At least its owners
viii use all the power they may have as indiyid.
uals and as officers OF the road TO protect the
property against such unjust attacks without
regard to the party from which the attack comes.
We have said that Mr.. Huntington
threw out the above remarks as a
species of threat against San Fran
cisco and the State of California. Here
is a company which has received vast
amounts oil money, bonds, lands and other
subsidies from the State. cities, etc. And
it is notorious that it has controlled, to
considerable extent, the politics Of Calif0r-
MIA for years past 1t has had its Judges on
the bench. it has had its members in the
Legislature, its Supervisors in this city, etc.
It has had members of Congress. The CON-
pany has been in politics to the injury of
the city and State TO the amount of hum
dreds of millions of dollars. 1t has checked
the growth of the city and State. In fact,
the company has plundered the citizens Of
this coast almost beyond the power Of COM
putation. Mr.. Huntington is now vexed,
and it is well that he shows his hand. He
threatens, but what of the threats. The
public do not fear them 1t will be strange,
indeed, if the Southern Pacific managers
can put down the uprising OF an oppressed
people who have suffered untold wrongs.
