The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1893-05-18

ALTHOUGH the Geary law has been
declared constitutional, it appears as
the result of Tuesdays Cabinet meet
ing that it is likely to be officially
treated as dead letter, owing to the
failure of Congress to supply enough
money for its execution. Only $780,
600 was appropriated, and of this Sec
retary Carlisle says that less than $685.
600 is now on hand, with a number of
charges still to be met; whereas the
deportation of the Chinese who have
failed TO register will, it is estimated,
cost Sc, 100000. Hen ce little, if any
thing, is expected to be done toward
carrying out the law before Congress
meets again. Public sentiment may
then demand its repeal, but in the
meantime it appears to be the duty Of
the President to execute the law so fal
as he is able to do so.
