SENATOR WHITE.

Senator White has not improved his
standing with his constituents on the pro-
posed Chinese treaty by his talk with an
Associated Press agent. The first point
urged in support of the treaty is that the
Chinese Government will not object to the
enforcement Of the Geary-McCreary act.
In other words, the Chinese Government
agrees to permit the United States Govern
ment TO execute its laws. Mr.. Whites
statement that he sees no objection to the
temporary absence of registered Chinese
lsborer is a neat evasion of the force of the
objection to that provision of the treaty
1t is not that we object to the temporary
absence OF Chinese laborer, but that we
object to the return Of hungry laborer in
his place. As Californian Mr. White
must know how impossible it has been to
Identify Chinese. AS a rule, the outgoing
Chinese will depart with his pockets full
of California gold, and the incoming Chi
nese will come with pockets as large, but
quits empty. And every Chinese who
may smuggla himself into the country. by
the exercise of the right OF transit or other
wise, will claim the right to be registered.
Nothing that Mr.. White has said impairs
the force of the statement that II Is only
exclusion that excludes. With the act of
1888 in force the Chinese who do not
register by the 5th of May will be subject
to deportation. But the proposed treaty
will repeal the act of 1888 as completely as
if the repeal we're done by Congress.

RAILROAD CONTROL.

Three chosen debaters of the California
State University will meet three chosen
debaters from the Stanford University and
argue on the merits of the much-talked-of
proposition to place trunk railroad lines
under control of the Federal Government.
The Stanfords will take the affirmative.
the Berkeleyans the negative. Il happens
that events are holding up object lessons
for the Stanfords to draw their moral
from. There is one trunk line that has
earned money enough to pay for itself and
make its owners rich which is insolvent.
Part of it is in the hands of Federal
cour and part is on the verge Of worse
fate. The Great Northern road is in the
hands of. strikers. The management APP
pears not to have kept faith with their
EMPLOYEES. The great railroad king. Jim
Hill. Is the manager OF this road and is

PERFECTLY SOUND.

The New York Times says in respect to
the bill to repeal the tax on State bank
circulation:
The most important feature OF the system
here provided for is the frank abandonment OF
the principle OF collateral securities 10 be held
by the Government (either Federal or SIate) for
the redemption of the notes. This we believe
TO be entirely sound.
1t is not long since the Times considered
the coinage of tue silver bought with treas
ury notes breach of faith inasmuch as 1T
proposed to withdraw certain specific
property of the United States which was
regarded as in some way pledged for the
payment OF such notes. The Times in
timated that the value of the notes was
impaired by the fact that no collateral
securities were held to secure the fulfill
ment of the Governments promise to pay
in cola. But the same journal now APP
proves of the frank aband onment Of the
principle of collateral securities by the act
to repeal the tax on State bank circula-
ton. The Times apparently cuts the
coat according to its cloth. Since it is
impossible to provide collateral securities
for State banks it declares such securities
unnecessary

AT MEXICO.

A monetary conference at Mexico in
stead of at Brussels would give the gold
nations of Europe something to think
about There Is an atmosphere in every
locality. At Brussels the atmosphere was
created by the creditor class. There were
men Of high standing at every street corner
to assure visitors that the commerce of the
world could only be conducted on the gold
basis. Finance ia like theology in one re-
spect, that nothing can be demonstrated.
The confident assertion Of the gold advo-
Gates could not be shown to be without
foundation. It was opinion against
opinion, and the opinions of the gold adj
yocatss carried the greater weight.
In Mexico the atmosphere would as
sumo another color. Countries would ap-
pear upon the scene that were unknown
even by name at Brussels. The producing
interest would be held up for considers

ton in place of the interests of accummu-
lated capital. The idea would also be adj
vanced that If creditor nations insisted
on flocxing together debtor nations might
initiate their example. Ii gold patton
would not trade with silver nation with
out exacting payments in gold the silver
nations would see If they could not buy
the things they need from a nation that
would take pay in silver. The United
States, which cut no figure at all at Brus-
sells. would be in a position at Mexico to
offer all the silver nations might demand.
There is nothing in the way OF finished
goods that the mills OF the United States
cannot supply. If they want common
silver dollar. good for its face in every
country belonging to the monetary union, 1t
will only be necessary to agree to the ratio
that dollar should bear to the gold dollar
and upon details Of coinage. The rate OF
exchange in gold countries would give the
product of United States mills degree OF
protection equal. nearly or quite. to ordi-
nary tariff rates. The Mexican or South
American merchant now CANDLES when
he orders goods from Europe. If silver
goes down he has to pay more for his
goods than he expected. Ii silver goes up
he gains by the difference. To avoid the
risks of that fluctuation merchants in silver
using countries would buy of manufactu-
rers who would take pay IN dollars good in
both countries.

The spectacle of Chinese coming IN at the
Golden Gate and white men going East by
railroad is not inspiring. There seems to
be room for the Chinese. but only god

fact that thousands in the West are eager
to come and fill places the people of our
own country turn from with impotence
goes far to show that even the troubles Of
the past year have not brought us to an
Industrial level with other nations. The
mistake is being made by our people who

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

Stuart Rendel, who has been rewarded with
a peerage for his persistent coddling of Mr..
Gladstone, is having trouble with his title. He
wishes to be known as Viscount Montgomery,
simply because he has represented that county

name is Montgomerie.

Russia's TWO greatest authors, Turgeneff and
Tolstoi. were students at the University OF st.

Wilson, has resigned his position as copyist to
the Government inspectors at the Homestead

CUT IN EMlGRANT RATES.
1t Places the Union Pacific IN an
Embarrassing Position.


The cut just made by the lines in the western
Passenger Association in emlgraht rates from
the Missouri River to California points places
The Union Pacific IN an embarrassing position
The rate at present is $50. The new rate
which takes effecl April %, Will be SIC 10. On
all San Francisco business the Union Pacihc
will be compelled 10 pay the Southern Psclhc
just that amount for service from Ogden here
while on Los Angeles business in addition to
the full passage money received from the ticket
purchaser the road will be compelled to pay
50 40 costs additional 10 the Southern Pacific
and on all tickets TO San Diego 81 40.
Ii should be understood that no tickets to
City or other Missouri River points at the basic
rate of S16 10 above mentioned. That Is the
rate which, IN the sale OF emigrant tickets at
New York, is added to the rate from that point
to the Missouri River. Thus the all-rai rate
from New York 10 tho river has been and re-
mains S23 20. Adding the Sic 10 m kes the
California terminals. The through rate from
New York has been S5S %. But no tickets 10
CalifO rna can be had at Kansas City or Omaha
for less than $50, which is the second-class
rate. There are no tickets sold at emigrant
rates this side of New York.
There IS still another phase to the case which
must be taken into consideration and that Is
the attitude Of the Santa Fe. That line Is not
member of tie Western Association and con-
sequently Is free TO act as 1t chooses. 1t may
conclude 10 make the rate from the Missouri
River 10 Dan FRANCISCO SlU. Oul OF tnis amount
II would only be compelled to pay the Southern
Pacific Sc rs for passage from Mohavr TO his
city, leaving 1t a balance of So "a on each pas
senger. But the Union Pacific, in order to meet
this imaginary rate, will necessarily have to
pay the Southern Pacific So 10 out OF its
treasury and yei receive nothing for transport

Cnrlfslc Decides n Test Case.

Secretary Carlisle yesterday took decisive
action in a case which has attracted con-
siderable attention in shipping circles, and
has come to be regarded as rather a test of
the Secretarys authority over shipping
commissioners. By his decision Albert c.
Kerwan becomes shipping commissioner at
the port Of Baltimore, Md, vice Littleton
T. hayden, removed. Bayden's resignation
was called for more than a year ago. but he
refused to resign, taking the position that
under the act creating the office of ship
ping commissioner the Secretary has no
power to remove him without specific
causes, which, so far as known, was not
alleged in this case. Yesterday the Secre-
tary removed Bayden. The shipping act in
question says: The Secretary may from
time to time remove from office such COM
missioner whom he may have reason to
believe does not properly perform his
duties"
