WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The Committee
on Foreign Affairs to-day considered the
McCreary substitute for the Everett bill
extending the time of registration for the
Chinese. The discussion developed the
fact that every member favored the exten-
sion Of the time to six months, with the
possible exception of Geary. and he gave
notice that be would offer an amendment

representatives. MeCreary and Everett
insisted upon reporting the McCreary sub
stitute. but finally decided to postpone
action until Tuesday next, by which time
Representative Geary will have returned
from Chicago. where he has gone to meet
his wife.
The definition of the term Chinese la
borer may be modified so as to mean a
laborer for hire, but with this slight
change the bill will be reported as it now
stands. The other members of the -conB-
mittee will probably not consent TO any
modification of the certificates of identifi-
cation.
The committee adjourned without ac-
ton, but no doubt at the next meeting the
bill will be favorably reported. The meet
ing will be held on Tuesday next, at which
time the amendment concerning photo
graphs will no doubt come up for action.

HOW SENATOR'S STAND.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Eighty-three out of the eighty
eight members of the new senate
are in Washington and have been
interviewed concerning their posi-
tion on the Sherman silver law,
the repeal of the Mckinley tariff
and the annexation of Hawaii. In
case of the whole eighty-eight be-
ing present it would require forty
flve' votes to repeal the Sherman
silver law or pass Il tariff act and
tifty-nine votes to ratify the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty. AS it
requires only quorum to do bust
ness it is possible to pass silver
or tariff bill through the senate by
twenty-three votes and to. ratify
the treaty by thirty votes, al
though possibility of this kind is
at the same time an improbability.
A canvass of the eighty-three
senators shows thirty-nine in favor
of Il repeal of the Sherman silver
law, twenty-eight against repeal
and sixteen non-c0mmittal. Forty
one favor the repeal Of the McKin-
icy tariff, thirty-three oppose re-
peal and nine are on the fence.

Good Roads.

We once more urge upon our
readers the propriety, yes even the
necessity of arranging for some
plan for the immediate and thor
ough Improvement of all the prin-
cipal roads in the county.
To continue for q longer period
the present system of wasting

the essence of folly, and great
loss to our people.

Mr.. Harrison leaves the presi-

it. He has increased the taxes,

of finance that he found working
with the utmost soothness. He
has imposed on the people the
burden of supporting such an eX-
travagant system of pauper pen
sions as the world never saw be-
fore. He has defaulted on bonds
that fell due during his term and
has asked an extension on $50,000,-
900 of them because he had squan-
dered the money that should have
been used in redeeming them.
With Treasury emptied he has
brought the country face to face
with default on the sinking fund
for the extinction of the existing
debt, and he has opened up a way
through which the Plutocrats hope
to force new issue of bonds.
If his policy at home has been
disgraceful, his foreign policy has
been not less so. He allowed this
country to be outwitted in the set
tlement of the Samoan entangle-
ment; he did nothing to redeem
the disgrace when Barrundia was
murdered on an American vessel
through the completely of the
Harrison Minister with dictator
and usurper. He has carried on q
long squabble over a seal mono
poly that is worthless to the Amer
lean people and is matter of in
terest only to few politicians and
spectators on the "ground floor"
of his administration. He has
supported in Chill a conspiracy be-
tween an adventurer sent to that
country to represent the American
people and tyrant attempting to
subjugate the Chilians; and when
he failed in the attempt to uphold
that disgraceful alliance he did his
best to force the United States into
war with the brave but almost
helpless Chilians, hoping through
war to restore the party of the die
tator to power. After all this and
much more like It he concludes his
administration by joining Spreck-

President Cleyeland's inaugural.

The address which Mr.. Cleve,
land opened his second term Satur-
day takes high rank as a literary
production. 1t is characterized
throughout by vigor of though and
clearness of statement which have
marked all his public papers.
Very evidently Mr.. Cleveland
intended to make the inaugural a
statement in brief of the policy he
expects to pursue, and as such it
ought to elicit general approval.
AS a rule he keeps close to the
lines of the Democratic platform,
but he is perhaps somewhat more
vigorous than the platform in de-
noucing what he calls the "mad-
ness of the Spoils system" The
number of spoilsmen who were
appointed by Mr.. Harrison justifies
the emphasis given that subject,
and it will be generally expected
from what Mr.. Cleveland says that
he will display even greater activ-
ity than he did before in removing
spOilsmen from Office to make room
for capable and trustworthy Demo
Gratis.
The fact that the inaugural is
opened with a reference to the fl
nancial situation created by the
Sherman act shows that Mr.. Cleve-
land is properly alive to the dang
ers produced by that iniquitous at
tempt to demonetize silver and to
force the currency permanently to
a gold basis. All patriotic people
will rejoice that Mr.. Cleveland is so
fully aware of the dangers of the
use of the lawmaking power and
the executive machinery of the
GOYerment to bull gold, and those
who have appreciated cOgent ex-
preston and terse English suffi-
ciently to familiarize themselves
with his public papers will be re-
minded OF his promise to "divorce
the United States Treasury from
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-03-11
the financial operations of Wall

the financial operations of Wall
street"
Though Mr.. Cleveland seems to
think that the country is suffering
more from the Sherman act than
it is from Mckinley bill and the
system of trade prohibition it i'm
poses on the people, he devotes a
considerable portion of his inaug-
ural to the subject of tariff reform,
speaking with his usual force and
clearness, and intimating in an un-
mistakable manner that he is as
much opposed to all unfair and
monopolistic combinations now as
he always was.
Congratulating Mr.. Cleveland ON
the ability and patriotic purpose Of
his inaugural. The Republic con-
graduates the country that the adj
ministration of the Government is
once more in safe hands. We eX-
pect to see the country prosper un-
der his administration, and we be-
lieve that new era in politics will
date from the time marked.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-03-11

THE late Republican administra-
,tion seems to have left nothing un-
done that would tend to embarass
the new administration. They have
placed laws on the statute books,
which rapidly depleted the surplus
and Secretary Foster now acknow-
hedges that he has turned over an
empty treasury to Mr.. Carlisle.
Retrenchment and reform must
be the watchwOrd of this admins
tration, if the countryis to be saved
from financial disgrace.

binding the American people to

We have no motive for being
unjust to Mr.. Harrison, and
we do not believe that we are un-
just in saying that he is the most
lamentable failure as a President
who ever sat in the White House.
His administration has had all the
vices that were illustrated under
the administration of Grant with
none of Grants virtues of good
nature and tolerance.

man, but we believe the country
has been in great danger from him
during the whole of his administra-
tion. The causes are plain. He
was controlled by two elements,
both dangerous to the liberties Of
the people. On one hand were the
Plutocrats, Il small body of inn
mensely wealthy men and of men
who deal in money as commodity,
determined to control his admin
stratiUn, and he yielded to them.
On the other, the Pretorian ele-
ment among the veterans of the
Civil War demanded that he
should represent them in their
rapacity, and he surrendered to
them. Either cause would have
made his administration an odious
failure, but he might have better
afforded to be a Pretorian ifhe had
been less of a Plutoerat.

The Treasury Under Mr.. Carlisle.

ST. Louis Republic.
1t is very fortunate for the coun-
try that it now has Secretary of
the Treasury who will interpret
the Sherman act under the guild
ance of the Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago.
The danger created by the Re
publican method of administer ing
the Sherman act can be very read
lily avoided. 1t is due to the fact
that gold is paid for certificates of
deposit Treasury notes, SO called
issued on silver bullion. AS long
as this is done, the Wall street
clique that has been bulling gold
can raid the Treasury and keep
the loose gold in it reduced to the
minimum.
To stop the raid on the gold re-
serve it is only necessary to re-
deem silver notes. in silver coined
from the bullion on which they
were issued. The payment of gold
on a certificate of deposit for silver
makes it fraudulent money, no
better than a warehouse receipt
for wheat.
1t is obvious that if the Treasury
goes on paying out gold on deposit
checks for silver bullion it will be
impossible to keep gold in Treas
ury, even by borrowing it at inter-
est. The Sherman act provides
that the Secretary of Treasury
may redeem these bullion certifi-
Gates in silver at his option, and if
that is not done the alternative
will be to borrow gold at interest
at time when the Democratic
party is attempting to reduce taxa
tion.
While we do not feel as much
alarmed as do some because gold
is sent abroad in the way of busi-
ness is legitimate such a move
ment of gold is a good thing for
all concerned, yet we are also con-
vinced that it will be ruinous to go
on redeeming silver certificates i'm
gold as is now being done in the
case of all certificates issued under
the Sherman act.
The silver money of the country
is its most important cash asset.
Under this policy, it would cease
to be an asset and become liabili-
ty against a stock of gold so small
that it is hardy sufficient for the
demands of international trade,
much less of the trade within
national boundaries.
The attempts made by Wall
street to retain its control of the
Treasury so as to force the country
permanently to the single gold
basis ana to compel the Treasury
to borrow gold of interest to pre-
vent silver from being monetized
could only succeed through foolish
complaisance on the part of the
Secretary of the Treasury, and we
may feel sure that Mr.. Carlisle,
who has so often spoken against
the Gold conspiracy, will not sur
render to it now.
