The morning call., 1893-09-01

The vagaries of judicial wisdom are
very remarkable in the management of
the Chicago fair. Common-sense people
must smile as they note how contradic-
tory the solons of the bench are. The
managers were inhibited from opening on
Sunday. Then they were inhibited from
el osing. Jackson Park being-a park.
Then certain gentlemen who closed were
fined for their presumption. Now comes
decision OF three Superior Judges dis
solving the Injunction against closing and
leaving the managers to do as they please.
This is what the managers want. They
first thought Sunday opening would pay
and found it didn't, and then they were
troubled at the sin{ulness of Sabbath
deSeeration when out of pocket. Where
lore they must be glad al release from ob-
legations.
The mail from Honolulu teens with uG-
usually lively matter. The little group
has been passing through panic-only
political, however-and as Uncle Sam is
anchored at Honolulu there is not too
much rope. The ex-Queen's flag was not
raised, the United States marines were
not landed to maintain the existing status,
although Admiral Skerrett came near TAX
ing that step, and the Provisional Govern
ment is strong enough to laugh at defec-
is raid upon the archives in the United
States consulate-no doubt for informa-
tion as to President Cleveland's Intentions.
The Japanese Cousul-General in Hawaii
Is stated to have declared that his Govern
ment may stop the supply of Japanese
laborers to the islands unless the demand
for the voting suffrage be conceded to
those who already are there. This Is a
queer position. How can japanese who
have the suffrage in Hawaii retain their
nationality as Japanese subjects? II they
90 not sever allegiance what title have
they to the suffrage? AS yet there is no
such thing as International allegiance
The threat 10 stop immigration may have
terrors for some, but not for those who
hope TO see annexation with America ac-
c0mplished.
The Chinese find no rest In Australia,
not quite so much in short as in the
United States, because they have no op-
portunity to rlay the dramatic part OF
merchant and enter under false pretenses.
At present the colonies are not federated.
and each has to act Tor itself. Federation
will come. South Australia is resolved to
limit the arrival of Chinese, and has fur
ther designs Of restriction upon all
Aslatics. Victoria and New South Wales
also bar the way. aud the mother country
has expressly stood aloof. in spite of the
treaty rights of China. Black labor some
OF the colonies welcome, but. the aDtipathy
to Chinese cannot be overcome anywhere.
The ceal strike in England and Scotland
is evidently to be of short duration. lie is
ON too gigantic a scale to last. Where
10000 men and their families are affected
union funds soon run short and sympa-
thetic subscriptions or levies are totally
inadequate. This we may conclude from
the return Of $4,000 Welsh miners to the
pits out OF total Of 100000 In that rich
carbonifer0us district. 1t is a very bad
year for England generally, aud not an
opportune moment to strike; but IL must
be said reduction in such wages as the
men receive is pitiable.
The wine men of tbe State are not going
to let the method of judging at Chicago
pass unnoticed. A meeting is to be held
to-day at the rooms OF the Vtieultural
Commission. Ii possible there should be
some practical result apart from the de-
termination not to submit to competition
