Glass POLITICS.

The decision of the members Of the Wine.
Beer and Liquor Dealers Association, of
New York, to support the Democratic can
didates at the polls will have the effect
to clear to some extent the peculiarly
foggy atmosphere of New York politics.
but it will deprive the results Of all Inn
portance as an influential factor in the
national election in that State next year.
No matter which side wins in the cleo
ton near at hand the result will be
neither Democratic nor Republican vic
tory.
The excise laws are the rock upon which
one party or the other will split. The
action of the Wine, Beer and Liquor Deal
ers' Association will have the effect to ar
ray the Prohibitionists and possibly great
mass OF the moderate temperance people
upon the Republican side, not SO much be-
cause the Republican leaders are in sypi-
pathy with them as for the reason that
those who advocate the abolition of what
they call the Blue Laws have arrayed
themselves on the other side.
In these circumstances the contest in
New York Is quite unique, and will be the
more exciting and peculiar since the per

and secure immeasurable commercial ad-
yantages. One alarmed London journal
cries out that under the agreement the Pa

rather than the conventio shall be made
operative.
All this is stirring and enliyening, IL
not alarming. Russia is not likely TO relea Sc

According to the last census in the Uni

was aged 123. She has since died. and
there is no one in this country who is 12O.
Still. there has probably never been time
in the history of the world when there were
so many people alive who are 100 years old
or about that age.
In a book written by a Londoner some
time ago there was given list of people
who had attained the age of 125 years am

CHINESE EXCLUSION

IN a session at Detroit yesterday of the
American Missionary Association, Rev. Dr.
Mclean. of Oakland. Cal, made the re-
markable statement that the Chinese can
not be kept ont of the United States, and that
TO his mind it is an open question whether
they or Americans will possess the Pacific
coast.
DIR. Mclean is more hopeless than any Of
the Congressman from California who have
advocated anti Chinese laws at the Capitol
Every one OF these Pacific coast statesmen
has declared that with proper legislation
and efficient government agents the Chi
neSe can be practically excluded.
The trouble is not so much in lack of law
as in lack of its enforcement. Government
agents are selected for their party services.
and not for their adaptability to their pc
culiar positions. Usually they don't care
whether or not the Chinese are smuggied
over the coast or across the Mexican or
Canadian borders.
If there is basis for the fear expressed
by DIR. Mclean, so much the greater reason
is there for yet more rigorous legislation and
supervision. The Chinese, with their evil
and disgusting customs, their cheerful will
ingncss to live the lives OF pigs, which en-
ables them TO work for wages upon which
an American would starve, must be shut
put of this country.
II they may possess the Pacific coast there
is no reason why they may not possess all
America. Especially, therefore. should all
labor organizations in view of such state
ments as that of DR.. Mclean, take action
toward urging better laws and more Wig
orous enforcement of them, for the exclu-
sion OF these Objectionable foreigners who
hate our laws and customs, and who come
here merely to carry gold back to their
own country.

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.

Democrats do not appear to be interested
As yet in their next convention, but the
Republican National Committeeman have
practically decided that the convention of
their party shall meet either in Chicago or
in Pittsburg AS they have done for many
years, the Republican leaders of the Pa
ciric coast are urging that San Francisco
shall have the honor, but they will not get it.
BY all means, Conventions of both of
the old parties should be held in the East

Another reason is the telegraphic IA

aIl..mportant to newspapers. These fac
tors alone place San Francisco out OF the
question. The farther a convention goes
West the greater the Inconvenience to

DISTRICT MARRIAGE LAWS.

As wrote the immortal essayst when he
began and ended a disquisition upon snakes
in ireland by saying There are no snakes in
ireland" SO one might say Of marriage laws
In the District of Columbia, There are
no marriage laws" At best, II any there
be, they are almost wholly imperative, as
a local article in The Times this evening
well describes.
Though somewhat belated, the action of
ministers OF several denominations of the
District, looking toward restrictive legfs-
lation in the issue OF licenses, Is highly
ronimendable and every right-thinking per
son will hope their efforts may result In
more respectable limitations. In existing
conditions Washington is a center for
the marriage of persons who, for some rea-
son, do not want TO be married In their
home localities. In addition to this, resi-
dents of the District who are not legally
marriageable procure license without DIFF
ficulty, the purpose of the authorities ap-
paren;ly being to rake in as many dollars
as possible.
In many OF the States no one can procure
license without producing an acceptable
Witness Or a certificate from some official
or from the parents or other relatives of the
would-be bride and groom. Here persons
under age, schoolboys and schoolgirls bent
upon the romance of an elopement, married
persons, and many Others who should not
be permitted to marry, secure license with
out trouble.
Those who are interested in this reform
might well go further and ask Congress
to prohibit the marriage OF those who
are criminals, either by reason of associa-
ton or heredity, and of other objectionable
classes who would transmit their own char
acteristics to their progeny.
