THE LATEST CHINESE DECISION.

The Circuit Court has reversed the de-
cisiOn Of the District Court, which recog-
nized as merchants such Chinese only AS
appear in the firm name with which thew
claim to be connected. Judge MeKenna
says that the person denied admission
under the District Court decision was un-
doubtedly merchant, though he was not
doing business in his own name. The
case is analogous to that of a man who
should offer TO vote without having regis
tered. He may bring evidence of bis eiti-
Zenship, but unless he can give some good
reason why he did not comply with the
law making registration condition of the
exercise of the suffrage he is not allowed
to vote. The existing treaty admits Chi
nese merchants who establish the fact of
their calling. The Attorne y- General and
Judge Morrow have held that certain evil
dence Of the fact should be a condition
upon which the privilege conferred by the
treaty should be enjoyed. The Circuit
Court decision now allows Chinese mer-
chants to establish the fact Of their calling
by other evidence than has been REQUIRED.
This throws the Custom-house back upon
the old process Of determining each case
upon evidence produced in court. Almost
any Chinese labOrer viii, under the old
method. be able TO establish his claims to
considered a merchant. The court ex-
cuses its decision Oh the ground that she
cannot believe that Congress intended"
etc. Any law can be demolished on that
ground. There is no desire to exclude
bona-dde merchants, but very general
determination 30 prevent lahorers from
masguerading as merchants. The Circuit
Court decision adds to the difficulties of
carrying out this discrimination.

BREACH OF CONTRACT.

The friends Of the sugar industry urge
upon Congress an obligation to provide for
the payment Of bounties as fixed ia the
Mckinley act. They claim and with good
reason that refusal to make such pro-
vision would be breach of contract. To
this free-trsde journal replies
Bosh! The contract theory cannot be set I'D
in defense Of pure gratuty to a certain class
Of producers at the expense Of others. 1t can
not be set up in defense of system which is
against public policy because 1t rObs the many
for the enrichment Of the few.
Our free-trade contemporary should bear
in mind that Congress was the Judge of
what is against public policy. In the judg-
ment Of the Congress that enacted the
Mckinley law, bounty to sugar-growers
in place of the protection that had been
taken from them was not against public
policy. The breach of contract theory
only holds in moral sense. 1t will not be
contended that the sugar-growers can re-
cover the amounts that would be due them
under the Mckinley act by an appeal to
courts. But to an extent the act OF one
Congress is binding npon its successor.
No one would contend that a contract to
build batIle-ship could be set aside py a
Congress succeeding that which authorized
the contract. A great deal of money was
invested In the sugar-growing industry in
the belief that an act of one Congress
would be honored by a succeeding Con-
Rress. 1t would be impossible to conduct
public business except upon such as
sumptiOns. The reimposition of duties
upon sugar will be some compensation TO
sugar-growers who invested heavily In the
belief that the bounty would be paid dur
ing the term specified in the Mckinley
act, but if the House bill had been enacted
a very grave Injustice would have been

York, and Senator Murphy determined
that it should not be slaughtered. Under
the Mckinley act the duty on collars and
cuffs was % cents dozen and % per cent
ad valorem. The Wilson bill eliminated
the % cents dozen. leaving the ad valo-
rem rate unchanged. The present Senate
bill not only restores the 25 cents dozen
duty but goes cents better, making the
duty so cents a dozen and 80 per cent al
valorem. Still the great New York Dem
ocratic dailies declare that it is Of little
Importance what kind of tariff bill Is
passed so that one is passed quickly.

RIO DE JANEIRo, Jan. 30.-Repeated
and lndiscriminate firing on foreign YES
sells by revolutionists and government
forces has caused Admiral Benham,
commanding the United States naval
forces here, to make demonstration
The United States schooner Amy de-
sired to approach the wharf to unload
a cargo. The decks of the flagship New
York, of the Newark, San Francisco,
Detroit and other United States war
vessels here were cleared tor
action and their anchors raised.
The Amy took her position in the ranks
of the United States war vessels and the
formidable procession started on its
way up Rio harbor. The Detroit took
the leading part in the procession. The
fleet, as it approached nearer to Rio,
came quite close to the shore, causing
intense excitement among both the
soldiers and civilians on land and
the sailors on board the various
vessels. The Amy proceeded on
her way to the wharf and was
safely moored there Not until her
captain had reported that he was fully
satisfied did his powerful escort leave
him. Throughout the whole affair not
a single shot was fired, but the scene
was quite as impressive as if this had
been done. After passing along Rio s
water front the fleet returned out INTO
the bay and anchored in nearly the
same position as it had occupied prevl-
Gus to the demonstration.
