craftsmanship than has the United States
in it's recent dealings with China. In fact,
in so far as practical craftsmanship con-
templates the extension of trade our deal
ings with China during the last few years
show no trace OF it. Our Chinese policy
has been based on a sentiment, and a very
intolerant sentiment at that. We have
seen nothing in the Chinese question ex-
cept the immigration question. That is.
indeed, an important phase of the ques-
If it were there could be no justification
for the bungling and unstatesmanlike way
in which we have handled II. Our Chinese
policy has been dictated by sand-lot
shriekers, miners mobs and Pacific coast
labor unions, with as little regard for
national interests as for international
rights. In response to popular clamor we
have disregarded treaty obligations and
have heaped insult after insult on a friend
ly government which stood ready at any
time to regulate the immigration question
If it had been asked to do so. and whose
people stood ready. as soon as We should
stop legislating against them, to turn a
great and profitable stream of trade to
our shores. Both parties ere equally to
blame in the matter. Republicans and
Democrats are in the same boat. 1t has
been a case of American stupidity, ire
spective of party.
1t follows. of course. that our relations
with China ought to be readjusted. There
is reason to believe that the Chinese gov
eminent desires such REIMBURSEMENT. and
if the work is taken up by this govern
ment in the proper spirit it will not be
difficult of accomplishment. To be sue
c~essful. however, or to bring any credit
to the administration or benefit to the
country it should be handled as differently
as possible from the manner in which the
Hawaiian matter has been handled. Let
us have no more spite work in our for
eign policy, no more sacrificing of Ameri-
can interests to personal malice. The re-
adjustment of our relations with China
affords an opportunity for the exercise of
real craftsmanship. VIII the administra-
ton be equal to it?

they desire to take that method to express
their condemnation of extraordinary COM
pensation of the secretary Of the CONNER
cial Club. That is, to express disapprobation
of one act. citizens will permit thousands
of people to suffer n even die for want
of the necessaries of life. The committee of
the Commercial Club having the matter OF
relieving the distressed in their hands have
proceeded thus far with energy and along
practical lines. Under the present condi-
tons. no others can promptly take up the
work which this committee has begun. If
that committee does not continue the work,
all that has been done will be practically
lost. Consequently, If this committed is not
supported, suffering that can be relieved
will not be. If there was a reasonable
ground to suspect that every dollar contrib

intelligent and conscientious manner, it
would be different: but there is no possible
basis for such a suspicion.

THE GRESHAM MALIGNITY.

Perhaps Secretary Gresham has a more
intense hatred of General Harrison than he
had for Hon. James G.. Blaine; but it is
we'll known to those who know anything
Of both men that Mr.. Slaine stood about
second in the list OF men TO be hated and
TO be punished by the present Secretary of
State. Mr.. Blaine knew. in 1884. that Judge
Gresham was one of his malignant oppo-
nents because, in his capacity as Postmas-
ter-general he visited Boston about a month
before the nomination of Mr.. Blaine, and
denounced him as a trickster and even
worse. Mr.. Blaine being dead, 1t seems
that the resentment of Secretary Gresham
should have stopped this side of the grave
and that he should not have permitted the
report 10 go out of his department that
a letter which Mr.. Blaine should have writ

the files. Such a report was in circulation

rected from the State Department had not
