.dREsHAM, SECRETARY OF STATE.

Governor Markham received dispatch
over the above signature. which reads as
follows:
.E9parently reliable reports indicate the dan
GeEQt ytoeHce TO Chinese when the exclusion
Gcr takes effect.
-The exclusion act took effect in 1888. The
act which the Secretary probably had in
his mind was the registration act, which by
the failure Of the Chinese to register might
1e teuhed the deportation act. Congress
intended the registration act to take effect
en- tie 5in of May. But the President has
CAUSED Instructions 80 be sent from the In
thL0r and Law departments OF Washington

enforce it? II not. the registration law

moves the prohibition he has placed upon
.5uboEdinate officials against the enforce
Hienf of the law. There is now a chance
fora constitutional amendment. The con-
stiturtOn, as IL stands, makes it the duty o
q the President to enforce the laws OF Con-
gress. The amendment should add, "or
such Gf the laws as he may approve Of"
There might also be an amendment TO the
effect that no law should be considered q
Id9 lutllIt nau Deeh approved Dy lhe Su-
pyeGe Court. The constitution now re-
qusres the signature of the President; in
itS.amended form it might require also the
sfghature of majority CT the Supreme
Court :Juslices. 1t is true this would be
mixing up departments of the Government
which the trainers Of the constitution IN
: teTded should remain independent of each
other, but IL may be defended as the alter
native OF an ex xecutive edict that law shall
remain imperative until he gets ready 10

but may have to show its resentment at
great cost of life through disease. 1t proba-
bly, matters little in the fighting sense
whether Siam gets warships in England or
has them. The real crux is. can it handle
them? China failed and so will Siam. But
IT is much more serious affair to see the
Siamese armed with Mannlchers.
soap mine has been discovered in Wy
oming, with the bars about twenty feet
thick The deposits are so obligngly plastic
that n little rubbing in water makes the
latber foam up for the shaver, and the
housewife may have suds galore for the
family washing. SOapboiers will still
thrive if no more of this liberality of nature
is picked by the miner. Their industry is
in far greater appreciation than that OF pill
making its only rival in the art Of unceas-
ing advertising Perhaps soap takes the
lead In the announcement of the artist and
the poet. and pills in the stimulation of
historical narrative. The pleasure of swal-
lowing pills cannot well be portrayed.

nous sums ne may earn by few perform
! ances may pooh-po0h his sensitiveness as
assumed OF STACEY, while the truth is he

| whose feelings are constantly vibrating
| supersensitiyely. They live in a world of
their own, and are lot amenable to ordinary
| considerations of pelf and restraint. But
| the prima donna and tenor are not as a
rule. deficient in the capacity to value their
services highly, as many an impresario has
! found out.
! Chicago is still waving the flag Of welcome
| to the multitude to come on and be de-
lighted with the Worlds Fair, but 1t does
not come. The Windy City must not be too
| impatient. The papers are making healthy
effort to induce travel by bombarding the
hotels and restaurants for shark-lik
rapacity. A turn in the excitement will be
! produced on Sunday, when the gates are to
be open as usual. Chcagoans apuip gze by
saying that strangers perhaps prefer the
exhibition TO Chicago itself.

GOOD FOR THE SCHOOLS.

Within the last fifty years the attendance
of schools of all kinds has increased from
about one-eighth of the entire population
to about One-fOurth. The population in
creased from 1869. 453 in 1910 to 81. 60. $50
in 1880. What is even more satisfactory is
the fact that the public schools got more
than fair share OF this increase. The last
census showed that there were u, 7o5. 1856
children in our public schools and but
1867 2S4 in private and parOchial schools.
This increase In the attendance upon our
public schools indicates that objections that
have been urged against them have less
force than formerly. With the increase of
wealth among the people it would not be
surprising if the proportional attendance
upon the public schools had decreased.
The proportion of Americans who would
marry their daughters to a foreign noble
man is large. and there is still larger ro-
portion who would send their childrsn to a
private school for the social distinction it
would give them. But the heads of ma
jorlty of the public are still level.
The morning call., 1893-05-06
THE FIRST STEP

Concerning the enforcement of the Chi
nese registration act the Examiner says:
''FIhe first step. Of course. is 10 make sure
that the statute is really law" Neither
the constitution nor The practice of the Gov
elnmeut mas been to make sure that an act
of Congress is a law. To become an act
bill must pass the two houses of Congress
and receive the Presidents signature A
bill failing to receive the Presidents sigma
ture may, however, become law by a two
thirds vote OF each house of Congress. Now
bills. on their way through Congress are
very closely scrutinized. Bills of the char
acter Of the Chinese registration act are
Critically examined, both before submission
: to. the two houses and at several stages of
enactment. A member of any repute guards
against the setback of introducing bill that
cannot stand judicial examination. There
sre-judiciary committees in both houses to
.v:flicA doubtful bills are submitted. Every
nIelEber of these two Judiciary committees
is TO- an extent compromised by an adverse
decisGn. ON a law that he had indorsed as
;cah Institutional. Then comes the Presidents
examination of the bill. The constitution
requires the President to veto bills which
he bslleyes TO be In conflict with the funda-
'mental law. The Cabinet officers are usu-
ally llen somewhat versed in law. 1t bap-
pens lu the case under consideration the
PRESIDENT who signed the Chinese registra-
.ton act is considered one of the very best
constitutional lawyers in the country. And
yet, after going successfully through these
several stages the Examiner gravely in
1orms its readers that the first step toward
enforcement of the law is to make sure th1
II is law. Not one law in hundred ever
goes to the Supreme Court for Endorsement.
Ihe Band silver act of 1878, which. had il
been carried out, would have changed the
financial policy of our Government, has
never been submitted to the Supreme Court.

CLEAR CASE OF YANKEE GREED.

News from the Hawaiian Islands is to the
effect that Mr.. Cleghorn. who has the honor
TO be the father OF the young lady of that
name. who likes to sign her Christian name
with the prefix of Princess, has been re-
lieved from the duties of the office of Col
lector of Customs. Mr.. j. b. Castle has
been appointed in Mr. Cleshorn's place.
There is now better chance than ever to
whOop up Yankee greed and sugar. When
that stirring battle cry was suggested some
weeks ago. Mr. CleghOrn was enjoying the
emoluments of Office. Now he has a per-
sonal grievance against the press Of Yankee
greed of which he then omrlainsd. He
may also plead that the father OF the young
lady who may some day be Queen. should
be treated with greater consideration. But
the Provisional Government seems to be
conducting affairs without much considera-
ton either Of Paramount Anthony Blount
or other of Mr Cleveland's favorites.

A PERTINENT QUESTION.

The Visalia Moraing Delta has taken to
asking questions. 1t wants 10 know why
the Southern Pacific Company charges S21
ton for carrying freight between San
Francisco and Visalia, a distance of $50
miles, while 1t carries freight across the
continent, 5000 miles. for $50 per ton. The
question seems to US fair one. but we ven-
ture to say that none of Mr.. Huntington's
organs will answer it. Rather than have
our NiSalia friend go unans wered THE CALL
will suggest that the Southern Pacific car
ries freight across the continent for $50
ton because it cannot get more. 1t charges
SCI ton between San Francisco and vi
salia because there is no other line by
which freight may be shipped at lower
cost 1t is true that the high charge for
freight between San Francisco and Visalia
and other interior cities has pretty nearly
killed business, but what does the South
ern Pacific care ? The grand purpose of
the officers of that system of roads is to get
enough money out of the public to pay in
terest on bonds issued in excess of the cost
of their roads.
The morning call., 1893-05-06
IS 1T TOO LATE :?

a Chicago dis latch says that on the 4th
Of May only about 5000 people entered the
grounds in the forenoon. Il is not surpTis-
ing, therefore, that we find some of the fair
officials quite angry at the prices charged
for meals and incldentals. This growI from
the management will go for what it is
worth. During weeks preceding the OPEN
ing the traps were being set for gndgeons
and no one warned them. Hotels were
leased at rates which would require n
rental from rooms apprOxImating TO SlOO
per month. This was all right as long as
the Worlds Fair managers saw prospect
of these hotels being flied at such rates
But now when the rooms are empty and
the spectators are in the dumps. the fair
managers become Yirtuously indignant.
They set their faces against extortion. The
terrible apprehension has dawned upon
them that they have charged more than the
traffic wi bear.

NOT BENEFICENT.

: In the New York World writer comes
TO 4 the defense Of trusts with all the in
Cennily OF bad logic, backing up bad
eaqse. He regards trusts as beneficial, be-
cause as he contends, they save needless
-- waste OF effort in production and organiZa-
lIon- he advantages of having 10000
hthes OF railway under one management are
dllated upen with conscientious innocence
OF acquaintance with the disastrous effect
Oh practical examples. He cites, for in
Stance, the weakness and unsatisfactory
:cenqllion OF the railway connections be-
tween New York and New Orleans. and
pfofesses TO believe that things would be
much better under one organization than a
d0Zen On this point he would have re-
ceived enlightenment had he continued his
survey westward from New Orleans to San
francisco, He would have found ont how
deep are the groans of trade at the erac-
tions OF the Southern Pacific, which. nntil
competition by sea was started. had pre-
cisely that unity Of organization, manage.
ment and control of all transportation in
its territory which the writer regards as
..benefeeht. In fact California has been dis
9 tinetiy stunted and kept back in develop
ment by too much Capitalization Of power.
The aim OF trusts is monopoly--not TO bene-
fit the public in the broad. disinterested
.manper Of the labor-saving and capital
balancing political econ nomist but to benefit
:undeviatiDgly the men who form the trusts.
The Southern Pacific does not call itself a
trust, and might dispute the definition il
applied to it. But monopoly it is, and it
strikes hard at any opposition.
The World ridicules the hypocrisy which
nndeiles any pretensiOn TO benefcence as
residual in trusts. They are business con-
Germs on gigantic and overDowering scale,
reaching out for.all the business they can
get There is the further mischief that
they often act unfairly and in defiance of
law. They run counter TO public policy.

There is no reason why the island sugar
planters should not pay fairly good wages.
II the Islands are annexed sugar will be
produced at the Islands under the same
conditions as in other parts of the United
States. If the bounty is continued the
island planters will have the benefit Of it,
and If native sugar is protected by duties on
the foreign product island sugar Will be
classed as native. The islands are produc-
tive. Sugar can be raised there cheaper
than in Louisiana or in the beet-sugar dis
tricts of California, both of which fields are
cultivated by free labor. When the Islands
are a part of the United States the labor
question will solve itself.

THE LABOR QUESTION AT TIE
ISLANDS,

A good many people have taken it for
granted that contract labor is essential to
the cultivation OF sugar in The Hawaiian
Islands. But when the labor question is
looked square in the face it becomes less
formidable. The proposition may be laid
down that money will tempt labor under
any conditions which can be met by forced
labor There was no lack of labor at tie
Panama lsthmus when there were about as
many laborers in the hospital as at the
works. Money attracted laborers in the
face Of an even chance that they would
never return TO their homes. at the ISLANDS
the conditions are much more favorable
Work in the sun is doubtless dIsagreeable,
but there are no reports Of excessive SICK
ness or high death rates among laborers.
In fact, it has been asserted that the Chinese
and Japanese laborers were so well con-
tented with their lot that many OF them

Cooper Medical College and formed the
Medco-Chirurgical Society, which, il is an
nounced, will be great Improvement on

which, they say, always became especially
fragrant when the time came to elect Off

dissatisfaction.
It is agreed that the Medico- Chirurgical
Society shall deal at its monthly meetings
with medical subjects alone, and all per
sonallties among members will be ellmi-
mated In this way the new society, it Is
expected, will become an authority to be
