HAVE WE A GOVERNMENT?

The action Of President Cleveland in
Withdrawing a treaty President Harrison
had submitted TO the Senate conficted
with the ordinary conception of the con-
tinuity of government The party with
which the treaty had been negotia ted had
a right to consider its submission to the
Senate as an act accomplished. Foreign
nations naturally keep the Office Of Presi-
dent in view. but regard the person who
dis ii for the time as of much less i'm
Dortauce. The House has followed in the
Presidents footsteps. Under the last ad :
ministration treaties of reciprocity were
negotiated with several foreign nations
These treaties, as their name implies, pro-
vided that in consideration of the United
States doing certain things the other par
ties to the treaties would do certain
things. Commerce was invited on the
basis of this mutual agreement. But the
House stepped in before the treaties were
fairly in working order and repealed the
clause in the tariff under which the
treatIes Of reciprocity had been formed.
Not only is an increasing and profitable
trade abandoned, but nations which had
shown a disposition 10 cultivate more
friendly relations have beed rebuffed. OF
course now that the United States has
backed out of its part of the agreement
the other countries will send in MOTTO
that all the old barriers against American
goods will be restored.

tone of Chinese public documents. Refer
ring TO the old exclusiveness of the Chi
Dese. he says:
Ii has become more and more evident that no
country is now able 10 remain in seclusion or TO
shut its doors ag inst the foreign intruder.
Moreover, The fostering care of our paternal
Government has been the means of increasing
the number OF our people, so that within these
TWO hundred years the great increase IN our
population has become a subject OF grave ap-
prehension TO he throne. Hence the ancient
laws of restriction have become obsolete, as 1t
Is imperative that the people shall have breath
Ing space.
The position the Chinese Government
may take on the emigration question is
immaterial to the United States. Chinese
prohibitory laws did not keep Chinese at
nome, and II a few thousand well-to-dO
Chinese should return after the repeal of
such laws there are millions of poor Chi
nese ready to Ike their places. The eX-
cluslon Of undesirable immigration lies
with the nation which emigrants seek.
The necessity of our exclusion law will
not be made less imperative ny any action
China can possibly take in respect to the
emigration of her subjects. Meantime
most Americans will take exception to the
statement that mo country is now able to
shut its doors against the foreign in

DECENT POLITICS.

Mr.. Wheeler II. Peckham said after the
adverse report on Hornblower by the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee
We can get no decent politics until that man
Hill is made an end OF. Petty revenge is the
only cause am able 10 discover for the action
OF the majority Of the Senate committee. In
fact II will bear no other construction. That is
the most significant comment can make.
Senator HIPS political method are not
such as men OF both parties would freely
indorse. but the comparison now is not
with what might be or should be the
alternative, but what is. Are Mr.. Cleve-
lands methods really better than Mr..
HIPS? Is the payment of party debts
with national honor thing to be encour-
aged? Is the use Of public patronage to
influence the action of Congress much
above ballot-box stuffing? Are not the
critics Of Mr.. Hills methods estopped by
the use of patronage made by President
Cleveland?

A NEW PHASE OF THE CHINESE
QUESTION.

Late papers from China indicate that
there may be a change in the policy OF the
empire On the subject of emigration. Il
Is we'll known that an ancient Chinese
law-which may still be enforced-pro-
hibits the emigration OF Cinnamon to for
eign countries under severe penalties.
The law was passed under the first and
second sovereigns of the present Tartar
dynasty. China had been wasted by war,
pestilence and famine, and it was vital to
repeople the country. Hence the Emperor
not only forbade his people from going
abroad 10 settle, but ordered all those who
were abroad to return forthwith. That
law became imperative when the natural
growth of the Chinese population filled up
the empty places. When the European
treaties were concluded in the forties
China was compelled TO recognize the
right of her people to expatriation as an
offset to the admission of foreigners to
settle in the empire. But in the eighties.
when the United States sought China's
assent to our exclusion act, the old law
was brought up in the debate, and the
members of the Chinese Commission were
reminded that we were only asking them
to enforce their own laws.
So matters have rested until within a
year or two. 1t now appears that, while
the Imperial Government bas taken
no steps of late years to en-
force the law OF 1910, certain willy
Mandarins have turned it to account
by Matchmaking Cinnamon who, having
made a competency or fortune abroad,
returned to die in their own country
These persons were technically liable to
forfeit their property and their lives by
reappearlng in their old homes, and it
appears that regular system of bleeding
them has been started. Such returning
exiles have come from the United States,
South America, Java, but especially
from Singapore, where the Chinese con-
stitnte 20 per cent Of the population. and
many are rich. The Consul-General at
Singapore, Huang Chun-tsein, reports
that half the Chinese in his district
would return to China if they were in
sured against robbery when they set foot
OF Chinese SOIL On this an ordinance has
been drawn repeating the act of 1910 and
conceding the right OF expatriation and

Consul-General at Singapore will surprise

ALL ZEE SAME CHINESE.

Assuming that there are 10000 Chinese
In San Francisco and that each works an
average Of 800 days In year and receives
as wages 81 for each day. the aggregate of
earnings would be 100000 OF this prob
ably one-thlrd would be expended for the
necessares of life. There would remain
to send to China two-thirds, or $4,000. 600.
1t may or may not be fiattery to William
Waldorf Astor's vanity to know that in
one respect he is equal to $4,000 Chinese.
He lives in London and draws his income
from his American estates. He is without
doubt the richest man in America if we
make the standard of estimate the money
his property would bring if put upon the
market. The Vanderblts, who NAV DOS
sess property that at its current value is

ence greater losses should they attempt to
turn their holdings into money. The Lon
don Astor without doubt has a yearly in
come of not less than S6,000,0O0 at his dis
posaI and, keeping in view the purposes
for which he went to England, he probably
finds use for most of it. The most effective
arguments employed against Chinese i'm
migration are that they break down the
rates of wages in America, and being with
out families send the larger part of their
money home. But one of these arguments
can be turned against Mr.. Astor. His
competition in any department of human
industry is not to be feared, but his draw
ing power upon the resources Of tie coup-
try is not much less than that of 30 GOO
Chinese laborers.

A COLONY'S LOSS.
Italians Honor Federico BieSta,
Journalist

The funeral of Federico Biesta, the piO-
neer Italian journalist of California, which
took place from his late residence, 623
Montgomery street, yesterday morning.
was attended by numerous prominent
members of the Italian colony, many of
whom were old and cherished friends of
Biesta in lis lifetime.
There was no set funeral service per-
formed. Beautiful floral offerings covered
the casket, and after those present had
taken their last look at the remains of one
of the hardest working newspaper men
San Fran isco has known, the casket was
borne to the hearse and the funeral cor
tege proceeded to the tia Iian Cemetary.

BY A STRICT PARTY VOTE.

THE CALLS Washington correspondent
predicts that the McCreary resolutions in
dorsing the Presidents Hawaiian policy
will pass the House by strict party vote
Keeping in view the action of the House
on the Wilson tariff bill. the fulfllment of
this prediction is probable. A good many
Democrats who dc not approve the Presi-
dents Hawaiian policy do not think the
issue worth a party fight about. They
prefer TO let the Republicans have what
ever campaign thunder there may be in
the Hawaiian Islands question. About the
only thing that now remains for the Presi-
dent to commit the party to is a recogni-
ton OF the universal right of migration.
1t is one of the cardinal principles OF free
trade that people should be allowed to 90
where in their opinion their interests
prompt them to 90. If Chinese Ia
borer could do better in the United States
than in China, let him be free to change
his place OF abode. a like privilege of
course would attach to the American.
From this point Of view the workshop of
the world should be where the most work
could be done al the least cost. Competi-
ton, unchecked by artificial barriers,
would regulate the rates of labor But to
give capital little advantage in this uni
versal level of competition one-half the
money of the world was destroyed, while
the forces Of labor are impaired only by
the dropping out Of individuals who can
not stand the pace. As in the operation
of natures laws under the atheistic the
DRY, the weakest go to the wall, the fittest
survive. By strict party vote silver was
demonetized; by a strict party vote tariff
bill making direct approach 10 free trade
has been passed, and it will be in order for
the House to indorse the Presidents Ha-
waiian's policy.
