Coolies Still Coming.

The Boston people will not think quite
SO much Of the Chinese in this country,
ifthey take notice of the report made by
gentleman who has recently returned
there after residence in China of thir-
teen years. He was connected with the
China and Japan trading company,
whose headquarters are at Shanghai.
He stated to the Globe that. he came
over on the Empress of China, and that
on board, there were 500 Japanese, 600
Europeans and 600 Chinese. The latter
were the very scum of the population,
hundreds of them ex-conyicts and thieves.
they occupied their time on the way by
Supplying themselves with opium. They
were landed in Vancouver and are now
probably in the United States.
The gentleman declared that real ma
tive Chinaman belonging to the upper or
middle class is rarely seen in America.
Those who come are chiefly coolies and
criminals. The educated classes are
friendly to Americans and desire them to
remain in the country, as it is to the in
terests of business affairs. Ii Hung
Chung, the yiceroy, is friendly to for
eigners and his policy is pacific. There is
no danger of war through the operations
of the GEARY act.
People On the Pacific coast know pretty
well the true character OF the coolies, who
are still being struggled into the United
States. The east will appreciate it better
if they are permitted to come here at the
rate described by the Boston gentleman.
There are two sides to this Chinese ques-
ton and it is necessary to understand
both before Judgment is rendered.

A Petty SIanderer.

Several Republican papers are trying to
cast opprobrium upon President CLEvE-
LAND for "going on fishing iaunt on
Decoration day" Many plaintive things
are said about the NEGLECTED heroes of
the war; and the indications in this
fishing expedition OF the 'heartlessness'
of GROVER CLEVELAND, and his dispo-
sition toward the sleeping brave. He is
further accused of falsehood, in saying
that the pressure of important business
would detain him from memorial services.
1t is pity that his detractors could
not get hold of something tangible
on which to predicate their attacks.
But they offer in their own columns
the refutation OF their ISLANDERS. The
press dispatches published simultane-
ously with their diatribes inform the pub
lie that President CLEVELAND came to
Washington from his suburban home,
remained all the afternoon at the White
House where he saw no one but Col.
LAMONI, stuO DIT O.tV ps LIZ ASlt ny ofdlu
for Hog Island where he was due next
day.
So the awful crime of going on fishing
jaunt was not perpetrated as ''an insult
to the honored dead and all the moral
izing of those immoral papers is worse
than wasted. The President has taken
three or four days vacation, which he
needed, spent some hours in settling up
his pressing business SO that he might
be absent till Saturday and went away
so that he might go fishing On Wednes-
day or Thursday.
ssLittle things please little minds"
Very small things like this Republican
fling at the President indicate the little
ness of the source from which they come.
The fishing on Decoration Day did not
take place but the midget-souled writers
that published the Islander will not be big
enough to take it back.

assemblies would have 10 be held
to prepare basis OF representation
and define the powers of the
congress, and ell that would have to be
satisfied by all the governments inter
ested before it could go into effect.
An international congress would have
to be supplemented by an international
court to determine disputes under the
international laws enacted by the con-
gress. That would be the real court of
arbitration, which would render wars
unnecessary and tend no doubt to prevent
them in great measure.
movement in that direction is the
French organization called Soctete du
Drot International, which has for its OBJ
iect an arrangement by which the various
treaties and International rules adopted
and attempted may. receive definite ac-
ceptance and agreement by the civilized
nations. 1t is in the interest of that
society and its principles that ex-Presi-
dent HARRISON is to lecture before the
Stanford University in California.
That arbitration is better than war
must be admitted on general principles,
whether that war be resort to arms or
to bitter fighting in the courts. But it
must have basis on which to proceed
and rule and its decisions must be ac-
cepted as final or it will be of little value.
Therefore, as TO differences between ma
tions, there must be some recognized
code of lsws behind an internati nal
court, and the sooner such laws are en-
acted the quicker and more surely will
means be at hand by which to establish
that peace ir the earth which the seers OF
all ages and races have predicted for the
golden era of the world.

International I.awc

In the discussion of the Behring sea
controversy Sir CHARLES RUSSELL re-
ferred several times to international law.
That is very much like quoting from the
British constitution, only it is a little
more indefinite. There are certain recog-
nized principles that are regarded in Eng
land as constitutional, but, unless it may
be in judiciali decisions, they are not
written, and in some respects depend
rather on common consent than on any
thing more definite. 1t is very much the
same with international law
Civilized nations have regard to agreed
rules as to their course in the conduct of
wars, treaties, representatives to other
governments, consular service, crimes
upon the high seas, extradition and SIM
liar matters, but international laws, in
the sense of a written code duly enacted
with courts and officers for its admins
tration is another thing altogether.
1t would be for the common interests OF
the nations if international laws were
passed and put into effect, covering the
chief points on which disagreements are
likely to occur. The arbitration court
now sitting in Paris is a recognition of
the principle OF peaceful settlement Of
international quarrels. 1t is something
to be encouraged and admired. It is very
good so far as it goes.
But of necessity its sphere and its pacific
powers are extremely limited. 1t is con-
fined to the exact questions submitted,
and has to depend on the somewhat
equlvocal regulations that pass for inter-
national law for basis on which to found
its decisions. 1t is therefore but an ex-
pedient. 1t is step towards a more per-
feet system, a pointer as to what may be
reached.
An international code implies an inter-
national congress. There have been some
conventions for the purpose of agreement
as to certain methods and movements but
shey were not bodies authorized to enact
laws. The nearest thing to such a body
was the Brussels convention in 1874, but
its war code when submitted to the ma
tions was moi ratified, and there is very
little adopted by such bodies that has be-
come definitely recognized by all the
powers.
| An international congress in order to be
effective would have to be clothed with
definite authority and be permitted to
make enactments that would be binding
upon all the nations having proper repre-
sentation in that. body. Preliminary

Religion and Liquor.

The assembly of religious teachers now
in session at Washington may be able to
decide what is heresy and what orthodoxy,
but does not seem to be body qualified
to act on questions of constitutional law.
One of the subjects before it is the tenn
perance question. A demand has been
made, on a report from the committee
on temperance, for ssthe establishment
by Congress of commission of inquiry
concerning the liquor traffic"
This is more interference by that re-
ligious body with the affairs OF civil
government. 1t is also evidence
that the reverend gentlemen who
make this demand upon Congress
do not fully understand the powers
of the national legislature and their
limitation. Whatever may be said or
thought about the evils of the liquor
traffic, their suppression or regulation is
not within the scope of national au-
thority. Laws in relation to that matter
are within the puryiew of the several
states.
Only in relation to revenue is the manu-
facture and sale of liquor and tobacco a
rightful subject OF congressional legisla-
ton. Congress may levy tax on those
articles and provide means for collecting
it, but cannot prohibit their sale or manu-
facture no do anything else as to their re-
striction. The appointment of a commits
sion of inquiry into the traffic would
imply the right of Congress to legisIate
on the subject. That is neither lawful
nor expedient.
The sphere of the church in relation to
the LIQUOR traffic does not lie in the circle
of the civil law. 1t belongs to the moral
and spiritual world. The root of the
LIQUOR evil is in the liquor habit. If the
church can exert moral influence SO as
to counteract or harness that. it will ac-
complish moe than by attempting to use
| legal force or procure ITS exercise.
The correction of those evils which all
churches deplore viii not be accomplished
by stringent laws or oppressive regula-
tons. The civil power alone cannot cope
with it. If religion steps in to aid in the
work, it must proceed within its own
lines and by extending its own proper in
huence. Stirring up the secular author
ity to more active exertions is a
waste of time and energy. Let
the religious voice be raised in its own
way and its help be afforded to the weak
and erratic. By attending to its own
legitimate business it viii do more good
than by intruding into the domain OF the
civil power.
Besides, the step which the Presby-
terrain assembly demands of Congress to
take is one that the national legislature
has no more right to take than the re-
