NO HOPE FOR THEM.

Murdcrers McNulty and Vincent Must
Die on the GaiIows.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The appeals Of
McNulty and Vincent from the judg-
ment Of the supreme court Of California
affirming the judgment of the county
courts, sentencing them under convie-
tIon for murder, were dismissed by the
supreme court OF the United States to-
day. In these cases the construction
and effect of the state law amending the
law governing the execution of GRIM
inals was involved, and the supreme
court said this was not a federal ques-
ton, and the appeals would have to be
dismiased for the want of jurisdiction.
Carroll Cook was present when Chief
Justice Fuller read the opinion OF the
court in the McNulty and Vincent cases.
The decision of the court in effect is
that it cannot interfere with the decree
of the California court in its construc.
tion of California law. II the Cali
fornia court had not gone back on, its
first decision and delivered another
opinion on another phase OF the case the
United States might have entertained
the motion.
Cook has obtained from the court 10
days stay of mandate in order
to give him time to secure
stipulations from the encouragement.
Cook says he has two other appeals
pending in, the California courts, and
something further will be done upon his
return to California about June 1st. He
admits, however. that the cases OF Nc
Nulty and Vincent are we'll nigh hope
less, as are also those of Bruggy and
others in which the same questions are
involved.
FRESNO, May 16,-When the news OF
the adverse decision of the United States
supreme court reached Fresno in the
case of DR.. f. O.<Vincent, Sheriff Scott
searched him, changed his clothing, put
him in new cell, and set death
watch. Vincent still says he will not
hang, but is nervous.

take that fact into consideration. An
other feature Of this most anQmalous
business is that an appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court Of the United States
from the New York courts, and that a
decision on that appeal was held over
the 5sh Of May, the day appointed for
the deportation OF such Cinnamon as
failed to register. Under such circum-
stances, and the fact that the govern
ment has provided no means for the
deportation of such large numbers
of the heather, an extension of the
date OF deportation is an ac-
complished fact, and there can be no
question but that 1t will be still iurthef
extended. Means must be devised to
carry out the expressed will OF the
nation II the Chinese should still con-
tinue recalcitrant. II, after final de-
cision in the courts, the case is, 90 it
surely will be, decided against them. all
unregistered Cinnamon should be
packed bodily over to Cathay, bag and
baggage, scrip and scrippage. After the
court bad delivered its several opinions
yesterday, counsel for the Chinese
moved rehearing and argument before
full bench, at the next term OF the
court. The judges took the matter
under advisement, and till this MOTION
is disposed OF the federal officials will
have time to determine upon their
course. 1t is somewhat perplexing, to
say the least, There are neither ships
to carry the Chinese home nor officers
to herd them together.
1t will somewhat surprise Californisns
to see the name Of Mr.. Justice Field
amongst the dissenting judges on this
issue. It would naturally be supposed
that this distinguished jurist would have
been grouped on the other side.
If the motion for a rehearing should
be dismissed the necessity for instant
action will be upon our officials, and
what they propose to do is matter for
curious speculation. One thing is GER
tain, they will have to Ash or cut bait.
1t will become, to very striking extent,
case of "Why stand ye here idle"
The law must be enforced though the
heavens should fall.

SOLD OUT AGAIN.

There was one thing highly satisfact-
ory about the action OF the city council
yesterday--it showed that we have no
Democratic representation in that body,
outside Of the Messrs. Gaffey and Pessels
when it comes to the police board. 1t is
good to know where you stand. The
HERALD has known from the start ex.
actly how the thing would develop. We
have not been deceived. The play was
made from the beginning to hand the
police force over to the Republicans.
They have got it. They will keep 1t.
Meanwhile the farce will 80 on of nom-
insl Democratic majority in the police
board keeping in Chief Glass and his
special pets. But the HERALD gives fair
notice that the last word has not been
said about this dicker in which the fruits
OF great victory at the polls have been
coolly bartered away. a vote has at last
been had on the matter. The people
know exactly how the vote went and
what its significance ie. They have long
memories, and the whirligig Of time at
last makes all things even. Perhaps
even the people who sold out the Demo
cratic party may admit the necessity of
having an efficient police force? The
mere fact that they have turned it over
to their opponents ought not to be al
lowed to work injury to the citizen. Ii
we are to have a "snivel' service ad-
ministration Of the police department it
should not be forgotten that the idea
underlying the said "snivel' service is
to have an efficient administration of the
several bureaux and trusts to which it
applies. On this phase Of the matter we
shall have something to say hereafter,
and we shall not open up on 1t until we
have secured an abundance OF facts that
cannot be controverted.
Now let the Democratic city commit
tee meet and formally read the Messrs.
Nichell and fnnes out Of the party. Pre-
serve the integrity of the Democratic
organization and enforce its discipline at
all hazards. Let it be understood once
for all and forever that men elected on
the Democratic ticket are expected to
act as Democrats. When it has done
this good work let it adjourn sine die.

to stand in with the enemies Of their
party. We have watched the career Of
many such Democrats. We+never knew
one OF them to last very long, either in
national, state or local politics. The
Democrat who believes that everything
should be done for Republicans and
nothing for Democrats, at last plays in
the other alley, and things do not go 80
smoothly as they went before. All OF,
which leads up to the political axiom,

IT is estimated that if will take $6 000,-
900 to deport the Chinese from the
United States, while there are said to be
only $4,000 available for that purpose.
This reminds one OF the gambler who
exclaimed: II Lost ten thousand dol
lars last night" Observing the looks of
sympathy on the faces of his hearers he
added, Eyes, and the worst thing about
1t ia that 500 fit wasin cash." Uncle
Sans proportion of money to possible
deportation demands bears about the
same relation that Falstatf's bread did

"LAY away an old coat five years and
it will become new," says the old say
ing. But does the same principle apply
to horse? The Virginia horse Diablo,
that won the great Brooklyn handicap
yesterday, has history somewhat akin
to this. He is seven years old; and,
while he was not the peer OF Salvador,
Longstreet, Proctor Knott or Spokane,
he was a very good 3-year-old in 1889.
The next year he performed only fairly
well, being out-clasaed completely by
Tenny, Salvador and number of others.
In his fve-year-old form he was of no
earthly account, and was early with
drawn and given resting spell Of
eighteen months. Out of this he
emerged with lots of pace; and, being
lightly weighted, managed to romp home
ahead Of the great 4.year-old Lamp
lighter, owned by the tobacco king,
Lorillard.

CHICAGO, May 15.-The long-stending
differences between the Colorado Mid
land and the Denver and Rio Grande
have been finally settled and the rates
In Colorado will be restored in few
days. The matter of running one or
two trains each way every day will be
left to each road to do as it pleases
about it, and all other matters not bear
ing strictly upon the points at issue will
be left to the presidents of the different
roads. The effect of this settlement
means the stiffening of the worlds fair
rates east OF the Missouri river, but they
will not reach the point which it was
originally intended they should. A
meeting of the general managers has
been called for Friday to see if the Atch-
inson will now remain in the Western
Passenger association. II it's wishes in
regard to lower rates than the associs-
tion wanted to make are not complied
with, the probability is it will not stay
in and trouble may ensue.

Ir is a question of how much con.
tinued disappointment contributes to
the morale of party. If it is shut alb
solutely out OF place and power the
experience may have stimulating
effect, as witness the case of the Demo-
cratic party, which may be said to have
waxed strong under defeat. Notwith-
standing this stimulating effect, how
ever, the Democratic party struggled
from 1866 to 1884 before it won presi-
dental election, or, at least, enjoyed the
fruits of one. That wss long gap OF
twenty.e eight years, and it embraced
seven presidential terms. At the begin
ming and at the end there was Demo-
crat. With ordinary prudence and a
sagacious leadership, the Democratic
party ought never to lose presidential
election. 1t ought to>carry three-iourths
of the states and all the larger cities.
1t ought to shape the policy OF
the country for the next twenty five
years. That 1t does not do what
it ought to do is owing to the
fact that the spirit of union is frequently
lacking. No Democrat seems to think
IL necessary to show to his party the
devotion which Republicans freely ex.
tend to THERE. In fact, Democrats fre
auently consider it very cunning thing

THE GsARY ACT DECLARED CoNsrITU-
" ~ A. TTONAL.

The HERALD has held all along that
the supreme court of the United States
was certain to declare the Geary act
constitutional. 1t is in the very nature
OF sovereignty that any power has a
right to decide what persona shall be
admitted to its hospitality. This right
is absolute, and admits of no limitations
except by special treaty, and that is
largely OF grace. OF course civilized
nation is expected to exercise its re-
served and inslienable right of admit
ting or rejecting foreigners in subordi-
nation to an unwritten law that is called
the comfy OF nations; but OF the right
itself there can be no question. 1t is
precisely because we have recognized
this right,on the part OF China that we
have not battered those people with
mortar, paixhan and petard'' for not
allowing Americans to travel through
any out very limited portions of China.
The provisions of the Geary act have
beenin no sense cruel or unusual. They
are in no respect more sweeping than
were the passport regulations that ex-
listed in France, for instance, 20 years
ago, or those which at present exist in
Russia, and under whose provisions
Americans, Englishmen, and persons of
all nationalities are subject today. In
fact, the Geary,, act is very much more
simple and agreeable than these pass
port regulations, as q mere photograph
is made to do duty for the tedious de-
scription and terminology of the pass
port. The pretence that there is any
thing oppressive or tyrannical in the act
is absurd. If any American on his
travels learned that he could 60 through
the Celestial kingdom by simply supply
ing photograph as an accompaniment
to his signature he would be delighted
beyond power of expression, and woulC
exhibit undue haste in proffering both
signature and counterfeit present
ment." The exaction was not in any
sense harsh or inhospitable. 1t really
gave the Chinaman who was lawfully
here a guarantee that, on compliance
, with triAing but necessary formula, HI
would be protected in such rights as h,
had acquired, at the same time that
at least messurably secured the United
States from the further infraction o
} laws which had been notoriously in

the previous ruling as laid down in the
Langfeld case, in what is popularly
known as the shat trimmings" case. It
is estimated at the treasury department
that by the loss of the shat trimmings"
case the United States will be called
upon to refund So 600, 900 to SIC, 900, 900.
Some estimates place it as high as $780,.
O00, 900. Secretary Fosters estimate was
1926, 100000. He offered to compromise
the case for $4,000, 900 but a compromise
was not effected. During the past three
years $4,000, 900 duty in these cases has
been refunded.
The herald., 1893-05-16

By decision of the Supreme Court Of
United Stases, details Of which appear
elsewhere, the government becomes liza
BILE for large amount In what ia known
as the that trimmings" cases. This
sum is variously estimated at from ten
to thirty millions of dollars. The late
Secretary Foster put the amount at $685.
900 900. This will knock big hole in
the small amount OF geld left over from
Harrison's administration. 1t will now
be in order to raise loud howl about
the extravaganza of the Cleveland re-
gime. Republicans ought to begin to
sound the cymbals and beat the hew-
gags. II Mr.. Harrison had left Mr..
Cleveland the sum of $l94, ,000, 900 in
gold which be inherited from that gen.
tleman this last blow would not count so
heavily. This enormous sum will go to
the Wanamskers and people of that ilk.
1t is fortunately only an affair OF mere
trimmings. If it had sounded in more
serious lines there ia no telling where
the amount would have stopped.

UNITY CHuRoH.-The illustrated lec-
ture on London, Old and New, given by
Mr.. Ragan last night, was splendid
finale to a most interesting and instruc-
tive course. The Htereopticon views
were magnificent in size, detail and
coloring and the difficult task in select
ing from the huge mass of material the
matter for an evenings talk was accom-
plished in excellent style by the elo-
ouent lecturer. The series of views
opened with selections illustrating some
OF the localities made famous by Dick
ems. which were succeeded by highly
interesting collection depicting all the
principal places of interest. The views
OF the Tower OF London were especially
applauded; but the statement by the
lecturer that the group of "beef-eatera"
showed the costumes in which these
wardens of the tower had performed
their duties for the past 250 years was
not precisely correct. These stall
wart retainers used to wear mag
nificent scarlet and gold costumes, elab-
orately puffed and embroidered, and
their lower limbs were encased in knee
breeches and blue stockings, with shoes
decorated with enormous rosettes. At
present they wear modified costume,
as shown in Mr.. Ragsn's own picture, of
| the modern trousers and closely fitting
surcoat of blue with red trimmings, the
whole,effect being considerable modi-
| fication of the costume temp. Henry

and the success of the course encouraged
