The Situation in Nutshell.

American goods appears to be peter
ing out. The Washington Star sums
Up the situation very clearly and very
tersely in the following words:
Chinese merchants and students are
protected under the law as it stands.
There has never been Il disposition in
this country to shut out Cinnamon
travelling for Information and the es-
tatlishment CT business relations with
us. They have always been welcome.
II here and there men of those classes
have met with nardships at our
frontiers it has grown, not cut of 4 pur-
pose to discriminate against them. but
to execute the law against the pro-
scIibed classes. 1t mas been found nee
essary to be unusually strict to prevent
evasiOns of The law in he interests of
the coolies; and even then thousands Of
coolies have slipped il. regular
traffic has been established. and money
made out of certificates fraudulently
obtained ana used.
Let those, therefore, who are COM
planning about the law &C. operate to-
ward securing its enforcement against
the coolies and all will be WELL This is
the proper course. The object of tn,
law is 70 keep the coolies cut. and the
law is not going to be changed In the
coolies behalf. or that We may all bH

Among those most strongly in favor
of the maintenance of the presen.
Chinese exclusion law. aEl with good
reason. are the wage narpcrs of this
country who are naturally opposed to
dispcsing OF their labor in competition
