Addressing the Nassar graduates, MT
Justice BREWER Of the Supreme Court of
the United States remarked on Monday:
"In this land we have no privileged class that
comes to It's opportunities hy inheritance
Only few days ago, in his dissenting
opinion in the case of the United States
vs.. Ju Toy, Mr. Justice BREWER showed
that there is in this land privileged
class that comes to its opportunities by
inheritance. This class consists Of all
free born citizens having the right 10
live in the land Of their birth, Citizens IN
the OF her class. the on-prlrileged class
to which it Toy belongs. have not that
right and opportunity. according to tn"
majority decision from which MIR, Justice
BREWER dissentcd, saying:

Of the city not 100000 ferry fares, but
200 900 by adopting the following resolu-

sary expenses OF the opening Of the new ferry"
Ten thousand dollars represents 100000
ferry fares. The increase of the pay of
ferry employees as provided by act of
the Legislature represents 500 900 more,
and the acquisition of terminals as re-

Every ship OF our navy going into commission

Nor Is It doubtful that they used every oppor
tuny to put To use their peculiarly keen faculties

These young Japanese are highly esteemed by
their Government, and people because OF the self,

with gunpowder, dynamite. or some
other powerful explosive. The service
thus performed would be of practical
disciplinary value to those engaged in it,,
as well as promotive of the safety of all
those who go down to the sea in ships.
1t is not easy to exaggerate the peril
occasioned by the presence Of submerged
wrecks drifting about the ocean upon
the routes travelled by great passenger
steamers About two years ago the
steamship Norge of the Scandinavian
American line was lost near Rockall, a
pillar of stone rising out of the North
Atlantic some two hundred miles north
west Of the coast of Scotland. 1t was sup
posed at first that the steamer had got
out of her course and run upon ledge
bordering this islet; but upon the official
investigation held at Copenhagen the
captain Of the Norge insisted that his
vessel did not strike any ledge at all, but
was sunk by reason of collision with a
submerged wreck We do not know what
conclusion was reached by the board of
inquiry. but we remember that the evil
dence gave strong support to the cap
tain's theory Of the accident.
When our men-ofwar get through with
their present tasks, let them go a-h,nt-
ing upon the Atlantic in search of hos
tile derelcts.

HiRSH TREATMENT or CHINESE.
The President Orders Immigration Officers
to Exercise Greater Care.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-President Roose-
Welt wrote a letter to Secretary Metcalf
of the Department of Commerce and Labor
to-day, directing that the inspectors in the
immigration service he ordered to exer-
else greater care in the treatment of Chinese
immigrants. Mr.. Roosevelt believes that
the Chinese exclusion law is being well
administered, but he il satisfied that I'M
necessary harshness is being shown in the
treatment of high class Chinese, who are
not debarred from our ports under the law.
The President will insist that all cause of
complaint on this score shall he eliminated
as far as possible.
This action by the President is due to
the complaints recently made by the Ameri-
can Asatic Association and the Southern
cotton manufacturers. who fear that our
export trade to China is seriously threatened
on account of the stringent enforcement or
the exclusion law.
Secretary Metcalf has promised to make
such notifications in the regulation AS Is
possible within the law. and directions will
be given immigrant inspectors to proceed
with great care in examining Chinese who
apr " for admission unCer Section g of the
exclusion law which defines the exempted
classes.
1t is understood that in his next message
to Congress the President will suggest hat

syectors at ports Of the United states me-
have greater discretion in passing ny n

the law is specific and mandatory in cirC"l-
ing what shall be done.

Mr.. THOMAS W. LAWSON of Boston has
contributed some things of value to the
surplus of human information, but his
position as a sage and moralist is not so
firmly established that he can hope to
discredit the Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND
by cheap trick.
In his letter to Mr.. THOMAS F. RYAN,
accepting the trust on behalf of the
Equitable policyholders, Mr.. CLEVELAND
said:

The italicized words so far twice
used above, have only one meaning, and
it is perfectly plain The plan Of the
trust is well known to everybody. Twen-
tv-four directors are to be chosen by the
trustees themselves. heavyweight di
rectors are to be chosen by the policy
holders and voted into Office by the
trustees. Mr.. CLEVELAND says that $50

directors is concerned. that is to say.
with respect to that part of the board,
he makes absolute independence Of die
tation and freedom from interference

the other twenty-eight directors are
hot ,
to that part of the board he STIMULATES
that there shall have been a fair and
undoubted expression of the policy
holders choice before the trustees vote
these policyholder directors into office.
And Mr. RYAN tells Mr.. CLEVELAND that
his understanding of the matteris right
Yet Mr.. LAWSON, by singing out the
words $50 far and ringing the changes
on them, actually seeks to create the
impression that they mean that the dis
erection vested in Mr.. CLEVELAND and
his cotrlstees is to be limited that the
trust has a string to it, that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND and his associates will not be alb
solutely free and undisturbed in the
exercise Of their judgment. Our great
GROVER CLEVELAND, says LAWSON,

fore knows the difference between full
power and power that goes only so
far" and no farther. Mr. LAWSON puts
a dishonest emphasis on the words so
far, and tries TO pervert meaning to
them, remarking:
1t will be noticed that so far is tho great c1-
Presidents theme and that he breaches 1t well.

Mr., LAWSON ought to be ashamed of
himself. If he resorts often to this sort
of thing, innocuous desuetude for him

Unfortunately for Sweden's hope of
blocking the secession Of Norway, it
was not more probable in the winter of
l777-7s after the battle of Saratoga
! that France would intervene on behalf
of the Americans than it is to-day that
Russia, the moment her hands are free
in the Far East, will give support to the
Norwegians. With the latter the Rus
SLAMS have never had a quarrel, whereas
they have found in the Swedes for CEN
turtles deadly enemies and even now IT
is the Swedish influence that constitutes
the most formidable bar to Russlas
absorption of Finland.
Moreover, Of the two northern Scan
dinavian countries, Norway alone pos
sesses something that Russia covets.
She has many a port on the Atlantic
Sweden has none. The NorweGlans
may think that they could we'll Afford
for the sake of attaining independence,
to give Russia one of the harbors at
present virtually unoccupied, which lie
near or north Of Troms0. We directed
attention the other day to the fact that
a Russian army posted at the north
western angle of Finland would have
but few miles of Norwegian territory
to traverse in order to take possession
of a capacious haven on the North Sea.
The project Of gaining an outlet to the
Atlantic on the Norwegian coast was
naturally in allegiance while the re-
sources of Russia were concentrated
on the acquisition Of ascendency in
Eastern Asia. Now, however, that the
outcome Of negotiations with Japan
is likely TO be remuneration of Rus
sias hope of becoming a great naval
Power in the Pacific, the eyes of her
expansionists may be expected to re-
vert to the North Sea. An ntimation
from ST. Petersburg that Norway could
rely upon securing assistance in that
quarter would suffice to deter the Swedes
from any attempt at coercion, unless,
indeed, the latter were assured, on their
part, of aid from Germany.

Boston for the BOstOnians.

Among the municipal ordinances that
regulate the conduct Of the thrice happy
citizens of the capital Of Massachusetts is
one in which municipal department heads

legal voters Of Boston. Boston for the

to enforce it, and the Aldermen are the
stern agents who will undertake to bring
delinquents to punishment,
