UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

Until this year the two great national par
ties have kept abreast in legislation to re-
strict Chinese immigration. Two restriction
acts were signed by Republican Presi-
dents and one by Democratic President
In Congress the two parties have been
nearly evenly divided. On this coast our
Congressional delegation has been unit
for restriction. Among newspapers there
has been only an occasional discordant
voice. which popular disapproval soon
hushed. But all this is changed. At a
time when The veXed question was con-
sidered about settled, a Democratic ad-
mluslration has entered into a treaty
which undoes all that has been done. Our
Democratic Senator and our Democratic
CongreSsmen indorse the treaty. Demo-
cratic newspapers try TO make it appear
that the treaty will be subject to existing
acts of Congress. Now and then one comes
out openly and declares that the treaty is
good thing. Among these is the Santa
Rosa Democrat, which says:
The new treaty is published and it is ad.
mitted that it strengthens the restriction act,
and that it is a wise measure.

effect repeals every restriction act passed
since the treaty OF 1880 was ratified AS

SUCCESS NOT ACCUMULATION.

Chauncey Depew has won the reputation
of being the most brilliant talker of the
dav, not by flashes OF oratorical genius, but
because he has the knack OF saying old
things in new and striking way. He has
just delivered an address at the commence
ment Of the Long Island Hospital College,
which contains no new discoveries but
which bristles with admitted statements
of fact and doctrine. expressed In such
terse. striking and brilliant phrase that
some of them will never be forgotten by
his hearers.
Speaking Of success in life he puts it
in the homelY sentence: "When a man
reaches the position where he does not
have to enlist the assistance of his friends
and can support himself he is success.
Everything else is accumulation" 1t is
Impossible to state a truth in fewer or

is superfuity. And the pursuit of happi-
ness is in inverse ratio to the aecumula-
tion. The less man has, after his ordi-

TWO CAUSES.

The Stockton Mail declares the asser-
tion that a reduction of duties means
necessarily reduction in wages in this
country "mere rubbish" The Mail seems
inclined to ignore facts. There is hardly
a large manufacturing establishment now
running that has not reduced wages since
the Democratic rarity came in power.
There are two causes which have COM
bined to produce this result-the demone-
tization of silver and the declaration in
tho Democratic platform that tariff for
protection is unconstitutio nal. There are
no other causes in operation TO which the
fall In wages could be attributed with any
show of reason. Nor is it surprising that
q removal OF the barriers which have kept
the products of cheap labor from our
markets should force reduction of wages
In this country.
