MUST BE ENFORCED.

The intimation in Wednesdays dis
patches that the McCreary Chinese regis
tratiOn act will be brought before the Su.
preme Court when a case of deportation
rises under it does not come in the nature
of o surprise. The ready acceptance of
the McCreary bill after the stubborn fight
made against the Geary act cannot be &C
cepted as evidence that the friends of Chi
nese immigration have given up the bat
tie. The Importance of keeping the gates
open to newcomers is not underestimatcd
by the Chinese Six Companies. Without
this annual supply the number Of Chinese
in the State would soon become insignifi-
cant. All the ways out of the State are
open and none into the State. II the law
should ever be enforced requiring Chinese
laborers to present certificate of registra-
iion as proof Of their right to be in the
country the risk attending the smuggling
of Chinese across the Canadian border
would be too great to warrant an expen-
sive organization. The surplus of la Dor In
Eastern States will make the Chinese
question as vital to that part of the coun-
try as to the Pacific Coast. The act mus t
be enforced.

NO FOREIGN LEANINGS.

The Petaluma Imprint has made the in
conceivable blunder OF confounding con-
domination Of President Cleveland's Ha-
waiian policy with a general disposition to
side with foreign countries in International
controversies. President Cleveland's Ha-
waiian policy is criticized on the ground
that it is anti-American. At time when
the Hawaiian Islands are compelled to
choose among foreign Governments for
some kind OF political support their appeal
to the United States was denied by the ad-
mnistration. The island Governm ent is
thereby admonished to look elsewhere for
needed support. The press of this city
without exception has condemned the adj
ministration policy. not from any DISPOSE
ton to side with a foreign Government
but because that policy tended to throw
the Islands into foreign hands.

LITERARY RESURRECTIONS.

Professor Abram Isaacs of the Uniyer
sity of the City of New York has laid the
reading world under obligation by his
new work, "Stories From the Rabbis."
For while the Old Testament with its COM
mentators has made US familiar with the
religion of the children of Israel and with
the general spirit of the ancient Jewish
people. we are still only partially &C
quainted with their habits of life, aud we
know less of the manners and customs of
the inhabitants of Jerusalem at the time
of the Roman conquest than we know of
the manners and customs of Rome at the
same period. This is not for want of ma
terial. But the Midrash and the two Tai
muds are as rule such heavy reading that
no one goes through them but specialist.
What has been wanted to make us feel at
home among the early people of Judea is
just such selection from the old Jewish
writings as DR.. Isaacs has made. For the
first time we learn from his book that the
Jewish mind was not devoid of humor, as
study OF the sacred volume had led readers
to suspect.
1t is only in our day that the great body
OF ancient Arabian literature has begun to
be understood. The late Captain Bur-
ton let the world into the secret of the
Arabian mind. and long succession of
iliustrious explorers. treadiDg in the foot
steps of Layard at Nineveh, have made
Babylon an open book. Mr. Rassam re-
stored the life of the common people at
the time Of Nebuchadnezzar in the minu-
test detail. He introduced us to their So
cial customs and made us familiar with
their land laws, their mercantile usages,
value of money among them. their system
of mortgages. their marriage laws, their
dealings with foreigners. Even more valu-
able are Sir Henry Rawlinsnn's lnscrip.
lions. which contain political and religious
Information, with petitions TO the kings,
dispatches and business letters. Thanks
to the imperishable nature of the su bstanc
on which writings were inscribed, every
find OF tablets contains q fund of informa-

ton. and information of inaisputable au-

ton, and information of indisputable au-
then ITCHY.
The mutilated condition in which we
have received the Midrash deprvss them
of a portion of their value; but there is
enough left of them to supply material for
useful literary excavation by scholars like
DR.. Issacs. Nor has the Talmud been ex-
hausted. When explored with a modern
eye it is found to contain information
which is both new and valuable.
The field which is opening to scholar
ship in this direction is tempting and vast
Modern Jewish writers among other
things have imposed on themselves the
task of proving that the ancient Jewish
mind. though inclined to the heroic drama.
was not without humorous vein. The
titles of DR.. Isaacs' chapters are light and
pleasant. Such are the RIP Van Wrinkle
of the Talmud," ''When Solomon Was
King" 1.-THE Munchausen of the Talmud."
"a Four-leafed Clover" "The Repentant
Rabbi" "a String of Pearls, ""Tbe Faust
of the Talmud," the ''WooiDg of the
Princess" These might be the titles of a
collection of stories by Howells or Haw-
thorne. Similar bits of old Jewish humor
were lately collected by Dr. Felix Adler,
the wel-known rabbi. in a magazine
article. Such contributions to literature
are welcome as rounding out picture
which without them seemed grim.

SIDE LIGHTS ON THE BLOUNT
REPORT.

A correspondent of the New York Sun
who signs himself "Hawaiian-born Ameri-
can" directs public atient ton to the fact
that parts of Commissioner Bloubts re-
port which were given out by the State
Department on the 25th Of November
were identical with parts of letters sent to
the New York Herald by Charles Nord-
hoff on the 18th and 14th res pectively, and
published on the 21st and ODD. The fact
shows either that the Herdlds CORE
spOndent contributed to Blount's report,
reserving copies for his own use, or that
Blount permitted the correspondent to
copy parts of his report in advance of its
submission to the State Department The
Suns correspondent says:
In the former letter (on the 18th OF Novem-
ber) MIR. NOrdhoff said:
i have before me q letter from one OF the most
prominent and trustworthy citizens OF Honolulu
citizen of many years standing. not an allen
who writes, etc.
1 have before me a letter from one of the
most prominent and trustworthy citizens Of
HOnolulu-a citizen of Hawaii OF many years
standing, not an alien-whO writes, etc.
This is followed by long quotation taken
verbatim ct llieratim from Dr.. TrOusseau's
pages 2S4 and 2s5 OF the State Department
document, moi issued 10 the public until No.
mber 20. Further on Nordhoff says:
1 ask you to insert here letter have before
me from one OF the best-known and most able and
respectable lawyers in Honolulu whose word or
testimony in court one would pretend to doubt
there.
Then follows long quotation taken verbatim
from the statement OF Mr.. e. T. Quick TO
BlOunt, which is found on pages los and lO9
Again. in Nordhoffs letter Of the 14th he says:
On the point of Mr. stevens action quote here
from letter before me from very prominent
and respected citizen OF Honolulu.
He then proceeds to make another quotation
from DR.. TrOusseau's statement to Blount on
page 2S5. Further on he says:
On this head a thoroughly informed citizen OF
the ISLANDS writes Inc, etc.
Again he makes a long quotation from DIR.
Trousseau's statement (page 2S9) containing
the absurd contention that the wealth created
by American enterprise in developing the
natural resources Of the Islands ought not to
be reckOned as American capital.
The Herald's correspondent is RESPONSE
BILE only to the Journal that employs him,
but Congress may want to know why OFF,
cial documents that were withheld from
that body should have been submitted to
an unofficial person before the State De-
partment had removed the seal of secrecy.

WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.

Ii Is easy to say that II is not the duty of
Government to find work for the unem-
ployed. 1t is also easy to assume hat if
wOrkingmen were provident and industri-
Gus they would not be destitute as soon as
their wages were cut off. But we are now
confrOn ted with a condition which shoves
theories to one side. There are willing
workers who can find no work to do. Many
OF these willing workers are utterly with
out means. How they pass the dreary
days and nights no one but themselves
knows. Charitable institutions reach the
young, the infrm and the women whose
hands are tied by the care of children, but
they are not the remedy for the idIeness of
healthful male adults. There is profitable
work in the State for ten times the num-
Der who are now reported as unable to find
work. But destitute men cannot inaugu-
rate enterprises either in town or country
Capital must come to the aid of labor. and
In this State may do so without loss or risk
of loss. AS suggestion of what might be
done we give the following from CORE
spondent. who sends his name as a guar
antee of the truth of his representations:
AS practical response to the meeting OF
clergymen and unemployed we have sugges-
Tton to make: We can show them tract of
100000 acres Of land near Sacramento which
can be reclaimed by building seventy miles of
leVee. aud If the town Of Phoenix, Ariz., can set
her unemployed TO grading seventy miles OF
railroad track, why should not some one or
more of the rich men OF the great city of San
Francisco employ 200O men for several months
In forming seventy miles of levee. The owners
OF the land would gladly give no % 900 acres
10 have the tract reclaimed, and as 1t is the
finest land in the State and worth 500 an
acre any set of philanthropists who would dis
burse 100000 in wages to the unemployed
would get their reward in the shape of 81, $780,

Mr.. Charles A. Wetmore's comments on
the wine exhibits report made by Mr..
Oldham and on the prospects of French
demand for California wines are of de-
cided interest to viticulturists. There is
now an opening for high-class California
wines on their own merits. Prosperity is
to be sought in producing good marketa Bile
brands which deserve a reputation and
will give the State a good name abroad.

they came from Bordeaux or the Rhine.

house on Greenwich street, near Leavenworth.

afternoon and were held to appear before the

them was one Of the ten men who recently
escaped from Siberia and came 10 this city.

TUES which might have been caused by the
knout, but he said nothing about them. The
police believe hat both men are local operators
