What a beastly Government"
But Lincoln managed to live
through it.
The case in hand, here, will
probably become an international
one, and it may be very serious
one. We hope it will not. Every
step now taken will be critically
reviewed. y little time and pa
thence now may avoid many err
rors. The Government has taken
strong position. 1t must be
maintained, not with guns, for it
has none, but by the force of in
ternatiOnal law, based upon proper
evidence. The provisions of the
immigrant law are not very clear.
The law Is the same here as it Is
in the United States. The United
States authorities are baffied.
Commissioner Fitzgerald of Cali
fornia reports that the Govern
ment practically cannot keep the
japanese ont. The blatherskites
here shout: Never mind, kick
them out. Those fellows in Amer
lea don't understand the business.
Our Government knows that the
japanese Government will have
something to say if we arbitrarily

and misguided men. There may

BLATHERSKITING.

There is quite too much ''blath-
erskiting" about town in the Jap
anese matter. Some serious ques-
tions are involved, and shouting:
Away with the japanese" doesn't
answer them.

England demanded the surrender

CONSTITUTING TREATIES.

The laymen must be badly puz-
zled to understand the law which
govern treaties. But the Courts
are puzzled, too, as they are often
forced to make law" where there
Is much doubt.
In the Taku case, our Supreme
Court holds that the treaty with
Japan does not operate until the
immigrants are landed This Is
what would be called a conserva-
tive decision, and it practically
puts the immigration law before
the treaty. The Supreme Court of
the United States makes a more
radical decision. Where the legis-
lative power makes a law which
defeats a treaty, it says: The
Court cannot say law Is void be-
cause it conflicts with a treaty. 1t
also says that the law must be up
held, as a general rule, and the
treaty must Weld. 1t says that it
is the business of the Political"
Department of the Government,
that i, the Executive, TO make
things all right, if it can do so,
when the treaty is defeated. The
Judicial power gets the Executive
power into hole, and then stands
by and softly whistles while the
Executive Is trying to get out of
it. Besides this, the Supreme Court
of the United States says that if
the Executive power decides that
it will not keep the terms of
treaty, the Judicial power cannot
say that the treaty is good and must
be kept.
Here the innocent layman asks
what are treaties good for, if they
can be defeated so easilyl The
only answer is, that strong nations
do about as they please, and weak
ones have to do as they are told
The United States, 80 far, has only
applied this peculiar doctrine TO
the Chinese. And the Chinese do
not get angry at them. The Unit
ed States has had no tussle, SO far,
on the subject with any OF the Eu-
ropean powers.
1t is an open secret in Washing
ton that the Government Is not
very anxious to apply this doctrine
to its treaty with Japan. The Gov
eminent of that country is quite
willing to prevent the immigration
of Its people to the States, and 1t
has made some regulations TO that
effect But the Japanese emigrants
are crowding into California, and
the people are growing about It.
When the American Government
IS moved 10 exclude them, as it has
the Chinese, there will be some
very plain talking by the japanese.
Curiously enough, there Is a
general sentiment throughout the
States that the japanese are not ut
all as Objectionable as the Chinese.
But the labor men may change
this sentiment. But the apparent
ly great progress of the japanese
wins the sympathy of the Ameri-
cans, who are not In competition
with them. The effort to work out
the real brotherhood of mankind
keeps us all in a hot perspiration-

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

4 correspondent of the London Sat
urday Review thinks it is time to utter
a mild protest against the ugliness
and pedantry of the phrase "such an
one" The only apparent Justification
of the use of AN is that our eyes
must be satisfied by seeing it before
the vowel. where our grammar pri-
mers laid down that it should always
be. But when read aloud, such an
one" is simply barbarous, and the very
authors who seem to loose no opportu-
nifty of writing it would hesitate, the
correspondent thinks, TO speak of IAN
one-armed man or IAN one-sided
judgment.
