Fiv To the | CHINESE EACLUSION ACT CONSTITU- TIONAL. The supreme eourt of the United States has decided the act of May 5, 1862, commonly known as the Geary law, of the justices Gray, Shiras, Blatchfora Brown -—constituting a majority of the court, concurred in the decision. Dis- senting opinions were offered by Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field and Brewer, Justice Harlun was absent. The decision rests upon the power of the nation, which is undisputed, to restrict or prohibit the immigration into the country, and it asserts that this power may be extended to require the removal of such aliens from the country. The court declared that the legislative power of the government had in this act in no wise transcended any of its constitutional limitations. Justice Brewer, in dissenting from the decision, said that if it were upheld there would be no guaranty that simi- lar treatment might not pe accorded other classes of our population. Justico Field used ve vigorous language in his dissenting opinion, characteri ing th act as ‘“‘inhuman, brutal and v ve of the constitution in every section.” He regarded the de- fon as fraught with the giavest dan- gors to constitutional liberty. A motion 1| of the counsel for the Chinese for a re- hearing aud argument before the full court was tuken under advisement, so that there will be no proc foree the law until the court has passed upon this motion, which it is to be pre- sumed will be denied. The court did not, of course, express any opinion as to the wisdom or justice of the law. As to the general public opinion outside of the Pacific const states, it is pretty safo to say that it will be on the side of the minority of the court. What the effect of the de- fon will be upon our relations with ‘hinese government is problemat- tl Jackson and | of alieris | lings to en- | of the first tests whioh oreated such high ! anticipations of great practioal results from the new invention. But in this connection the disastrous fallibility of | the department experts who attempted toimprove on Ericsson's Monitor may be profitably remembered by the secre- tary of the navy. The achievement of Ericsson's little cheese-box raft, as it was denominated by the old men-of-war tars, revolutionized the whole system of | war ship building. The vessels con- structed on the revised plans ot the ex- perts proved utter and costly failures. The chiel reason these officers give for doubting the practicability of the Ve- suvius gun system isthe impracticability | of working the valve gears with the cer- tainty and despatch raguired in actusl warfare. But so far as the press re- ports of their tests show there was no special zeal manifest on the part of the ordnance experts to secure the best pos- sible results from their experiments with the pneumatic gunboat. estigation which led up to the impeachment trial now in progress at the state capital did nothing else, it at least opened the eyes of the people of the state to the fact that there is an ur- gent necessity for the adoption of new and better business methods in the con- duct of the institutions under the direct supervision and control of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings. Tur BEg does not wish to be understood as con- demning the management of all thestate institutions indiscriminately, for to do so would be an injustice to several superintendents whoso methods have been deserving of the warmest . commendation. But the ap- parent lack of uniformity in system, the absence of all checks or restraints upon the dishonesty of contractors, the fre- quent absence of any books or records, and the general inefliciency of the tem of pur ing supplies is deserving l stable governmont bronght about through the influence of the United States, whother it be on an indopendent basis or under the jurisdiction of the United States, Assuming this roport to be authorita- tive it shows that the administration had from the first decided to let the quos- tion of the future government of the Hawaiian islanda be determined by the people of those islands, uninfluenced by any outside pressure, and there is every reason to suppose that this policy will be adhered to. Mr. Blount may be cor- rect in the opinion that it is not in the logic of the situation that the monarchy should be restored. There is hardly a possibility that it will be. But it is not the duty or the policy of this government to take any part in deciding the result, ex- cept in the event that some other power should attempt to interfere. The latest advices from Honolulu entitled to cre- dence represent that the interest favor- ing annexation is a good deal de- pressed by reason of the inaction of this government and that business through- out, the island is extremely dull. Tho provisional government, if not gaining in power, seems not to be losing. It is stated that Spreckels, who it was sup- posed at the outset favored annexation, is now vigorously opposing it, but his views or wishes in the matter are unim- portant, since his motive in any cuse would be wholly sclfish. A significant utterance of the leading organ of the provisional government is quoted, in which it is declared that “there will be no republic with the consent of the American vesidents of Hawaii, who, it they have not all the power they need to decide what the future form of local government shall be, have the strength to determine what shape it shall not take.” This organ further declares that if the government of the United States under the present administration v annexation “‘then the provisional gov- ernment will keep its ground until an- | tion of tho people, through the columns of SIZED UP THE SITUATION, l principal executive ofcor of the War de.

York Democrat: In spite of the declara- tion of many of the republican papers that the impeachment trial is proving a farce, it is proving an era of bad if not criminal man- agement of state institutious for years. The evidence as far as 1t has gone has proven one thing very conclusively and thut is that the state has” been robbed, in fact skinned alive, by a crowd of fellows who haver been warding off suspicion by shouting “*Stand up for Nebraska™ and robbing the state at the same time.

The statement may be taken with a liberal margin for its truthfulness, as the president will doubtless hesitate before encouraging a return to the disastrous days of an un- " restricted stato bank currency. THE Washington Star says that briefly there aro four things which it is the de- sire of tho democratic party leaders that the coming congress should dispose of as rapidly us possible. They are the repeal of the federal election laws, the levy of an income tax, the repeal of the Sherman law and of the tax on stato bank currency and a complete revision of the tarifl, making a very decided re- duction of the duties all along the line. OF COURSE the araguan revolution has been followed up by the assertion that it was incited by New York capi- talists. A Central or South American revolution that was not incited by the Gotham schemers would bé a novel epi- sode in the history of the lower half of the continent.

It is said that he did not understand fully the cir- cumstances under which this unusually long poricd of leave of absence was granted. But he is now contemplating revocation of the two years' leave of .Captain George C, Davis, who is filling a contract with the Nicargua Canal com- pany under a special act of congress authorizing the granting of the leave without pay. The secretary evidently does not propose that the cabinet officer who holds the portfolio of the war de- partment shall be a mere figurehead, even in these “‘piping days of peace.” sidorable numberof the poople who think this way will not attend the fair if the present rate is maintained. The pre- vailing sentiment is that the railroads ave endeavoring to take an undue ad- vantage of the publicand the disposition is to resent it. The practical way to do this is by withholding patronage and this is what many people have decided todoso long as the high rates are ad- hered to. The concession which the railroads have made is trifling. Every- body knows that they can afford to do better, and it would seem that self-in- terest would prompt them to make a more favorable rate—one that would invite travel. They have wmunifestly been governed, however, wholly by the idea that in any event they would have all the patronage they could take care of, that the eagerness of tho people to visit the fair would lead them to go to Chicago regardiess of the cost of transportation. 1t is alveady appar- ent that this is not the case, and it is practically assured that the railroads will find before half of the six months during which the faiv will be open has passed that the rates thoy havo estab- lished will bring them less net revenue than would & lower rate having the ef- fect to encourage travel. To peopls who have the means to go to the fair for a long stay the st of getting there may not cuta very important figure, but this class is comparatively small, and it 15 the large majority, with lim- ited means and time, into whose caleu- lations the cost of transpovtation will entor as & most important factor, The man who wants to take his wife to the faiv and cannot afford to spend more than $100 for the privilege, half of which ho must pay to the railroad com- pany, the remainder allowing him to stay in Clicago only threo or four days, in which time he could sce cnly a small part of the exposition and the other at- tractions, will be very likely to remain at home, and the number of such pers sons is large. It is perhaps to little purpose to ap- peal to the railroads to reduce rates, They will only be brought to do this by practical results. Itis in the power of the public to compel a reduction by withholding its patronage and no other plam will produce the desired effect. It WOULD appear that the ordnance experts have about concluded to report unfavorably upon the pncun_mllc gun system now in place on the ecruiser Ve- suvius, This determination seems strauge in face of the favorable reports 1 the one distrust in which it was held by the legitimate banking interests of Chicago, and its failuve h strated wreat p universally world, that successfully and upon a purely no business can he honestly conducted fictitious capital. The plan upon which the Chieago bank in question was organized and conducted will always be an alluring one to dis- honest men, The owners equipped the bank with but littie capital, but by organizing a score of branches, the capi- tal stock of all of them being recognized by promissory n the projectors of the system were enabled to draw from smaller business centers over a million dollars in the way of deposits, When the inevitable crash came the smaller banks were naturally drawn into the roin. The Chicago men suffered but little, as they practically had nothing tolose. The real sufferers were the hundveds of tradesmen and working people in the smaller towns, The people of the entire country may draw a fow instructive lessons from the collapse of this financial fabric which had been so hastily erected by incom- petent avchitests of fortune. They have a right, w of the circumstances, to look with distrust upon any bank not | organized and conducted ulong the lines of purely logitimate banking methods. A fully paid up eapital stock, an ade- quate reserve, an utter avoidance of speculation, and a judicious conserva- tism in the matter of discounts, are the true indices of a legitimate business, BLOUNT HEARD FROM, Tt is reported that the State depart- ment has received voluminous dispatches from Mr. Blount, now minister at Hawalii, and that he refrained from making any recommendations, leaving the president and the secretary of state to draw their own conclusions, The re- port states, however, that he does not think, in the logic of the sitvation, that the monarch should be restored. The provisional government, 50 runs the re- port, is becoming more in harmony with the wishes of the people every day. The commissioner, having refused to use his office to restore the queen, which of covrse he had no right to do, and having intimated that the Washing- ton government was not so inclined, set aside that phase of the question, which also et with ready acquiescence, The mercantile and commercial interests, the commissioner is represented as re- porting, are largely in favor of some A new danger now threatens oftice seekers, A man who appeared at the white h Thursday and asked to be appointed minis- ter to Me s hustled off by the police and ¢! h being a lunatic.

Of course, such a rule couldn’t be adopted in the United States, but a law might be made thut ofticers of banks that have once gone into liquidation be prohibited from engagine in the banking business again.
