REASON FOR EXCLUDING CHINESE.

1t may be that BY the discreet conduct
of our army in China and our fair treat
ment of the people there we have been
inviting the food. AS we have been
friendly and fair in one direction they
can see no reason why we should be un-
fair in another. 1t is announced that the
Chinese in the United States are pfepar-
ing for an organized fight to obtain the
absolute repeal of the Geary exclusion
act at the coming session of congress
From their point of view it seems unfair
to exclude them while our doors are
open to almost all others. But is it I'M
fair? The difference between Chinese
Immigrant and one from Europe, where
desirable qualities are equal, lies in the
fact that we can and do assimilate the
European, who loses his native identity
by adopting our ways and customs
while the Chinaman clannishly holds Il
his dress, his racial traits and character
| istics, thus creating distinct class, con
| trary to the genius of our government
On any other grounds than these moth
! ing can be urged against the Celestial

CLEVELAND AND ITS MAYOR

The city of Cleveland either must
be governed by very imperfect laws
ana ordinances. or the authorities
must have been very dersliot In their
duties during the past year. The
statement has gone forth that the new
NEGLECTED mayor, Tom Johnson, as his
FIRST official act, ordered a revision of
the assessments; next. That two build
ings just completed be torn down at
once, and third, that no more frame
buildings should be erected Within the
defined fire limits From this it would
seem that the mayor of Cleveland has
aulocratc power, and Is called upon to
act in a way that would hardly su.t
the citizens of Wilmington, or any
city having the usual municipal laws
and ordinances. The matter Of assess
ments of real estate for the purpose OF
taxation Is usually in the hands of a
board of revision, regulated by law, 20
which appeals are made and which has
power to alter and elualize.
Tine tearing down of buildings inn
IANNtlAft vi illNEulif tltANlA Aot WtlAi
us, a matter for the building inspector
and the Municipal Court to attend to.
And the erection OF frame buildings
Within the prohibited limits also is
coyered by the law which provides
adequate penalties.
Cleveland has either inadequate
laws, or, more likely, incapable assess-
ors and building inspectors
But with ali Of the improvements
THAI might be suggested in our own
city charter, we have the laws, the
court and the officials to carry them
into effect without relying on the dis
position of a newly-elected mayor to
do, or not to do, the proper thing.
Perhaps Cleveland enjoys havin.
her mayor as grand mogul instead o.
board OF revision, city courts. buildinG
inspectors and the usual legal safe
guards which protect the Individual
rights and define the duties OF the citi-
zen to the municipal corporation.

WHY NOT LoCALIzE IT

In Europe within the last few years

samples Of the tourists postal cards
which are exposed for sale in such
large quantities and great variety
Many of the designs are beautiful. Con-
sui Diederich OF Bremen under date Oh
anuary 2S, 1901. writes in regard 20 the
popularity OF such postal cards In Ger
many There Is no city nor hamlet,
he says. no place OF historical interest
but has cards embellished with some
design appropriate to the locality
which offer convenient means of com
'municaton with friends at home Las
Summer, according to pOstoffice re
turns, 20,SOS.313 cards were mailed il
one week Forty-six per cent. were
tourists cards. The postage collected
daily on these cards averaged abou
SIS. 1858. Berlin furnished the larges

Dresden, with $4,000; then Hamburg
Cologne, Leipzig, Breslau, Frankfort
