HERE is no room for any honest or thoughtful Tpcrson to misunderstand the purpose of The i Call’s attempt to prevent the illegal landing ot | Chinese by exposing the method of it. In our first [e.\pose we made no charge against any official. We | sim ly reproduced the official records, leaving con- | clusions to be drawn by the reader. It is known that | not many Chinese laborers here have families; that | is one objection to their presence among us. Surely, | then, it is enough to put officials on their caution that 3000 male coolies are admitted within the last three years as native sons, who went back to China before the first exclusion law in 1882, and have concluded to | return to their birthplace only when the last law and treaty close to them all methods of entry, except the native son route. the proois made of their birthplace and see the small | percentage born outside of San Francisco, and the large proportion, running into the hundreds, who | were born at the same number on some street | Chinatown. All of this internal evidence that the | majority of their landings are by fraud and perjury is accessible. What The Call desires 1s that the last treaty with China and the exclusion law passed in pursuance thereof be honestly administered. We desire that all Chinese excepted from exclusion shall have rights, without-being compelled to bribe any Ameri- can officer to get them. We admit that proof may be shown of cases in which Chinese merchants, and | others in the excepted classes, have been compelled to pay dishonest officers for a right that belonged o them under the law. We admit, also, that it is the rule that when men have to secure by bribery what ass belongs to them, they will recoup themselves by get- | | ting by bribery what does not belong to them. This has been the curse of this whole Chinese business. It has run through. it all. from the payment to the police of a2 monthly bribe for protection to vice in Chinatown clear to the fraudulent landing of ex- 1 nese by evasion of the Federal law. Now raised that our latest exposure, consisting f the publication of the official records, will Francisco by prejudicing the Chinese mer- , whose presence is absolutely requisite in de with their country.

When Consul General Ho Yow asked for greater fairness and justice to the Chinese merchants he was attacked by the and charged with trying to punch a hole in the exclusion law. That paper and others like it make a sensational play of the Chinese question, and dump merchants and all together. Tt has never done any good by that policy. When the party it represents was administering the law corrup- tion and bribery were so rank that buzzards fled to “xami | their carrion for fresh air. We are not making a sensation, but are deter- | mined to stop the corruption or the stupidity, or | beth, now plainly evident in the administration of the | law. Give the excepted Chinese all their rights, without bribe or price, but teach the excluded classes that neither by corruption nor crait can they get rights that are denied by the law, is the policy we have in | view. The local bubonic yellow sheet has added to its laurels by wrecking a ship off Santa Cruz. It was only an imaginative wreck, but was in the improved style of the art. OUR CCMMERCIAL RELATIONS. | [_\ DVANCE “The | / sued from the State Department by way of in- | troduction to the twg volumes of annual reports of i diplomatic and consular officers upon our commer- | sheets of Review of the foreign commerce during the past year, and of the prospects of the future. During the calendar year 1899 the domestic ex- | ports of the United States amounted to $1,252,003,087, | against $1.233,558,140 in 1898. The percentage of | manufactured products was 30.39 in 1899, 24.06 im | 1808; of agricultural products, 62.42 in 1809, 69.06 in 1898; of mineral products, 2.66 in 1899, 2.09 in 1898; of forest products, 3.8 in 1899, 3.16 in 1898; of fishery products, 0.45 in 1899, 0.47 in 1898, $708,843,571, against $634.964,448 in 1898, an increase of nearly $164,000,000. There was a drop in the per- centage of “articles manufactured ready for consump- tion” from 16.5 in 1898 to 14.9 in 1899, although there was an increase from 12.76 to 13.45 in “articles of vol- untary use, luxuries, etc.” appear that we are importing more foreign materials for use irf our industries and less of finished manufac- tures, with a slight gain in our consumption of for- eign “luxuries.” A significant feature of the trade of the year is that our exports increased during a period of great indus- trial activity in Europe and when competition was correspondingly keen. It is thus evident we can hold our own in the world's markets despite all that rivals can do. In commenting upon the reports of Consuls as to the demand for our goods, the Review says that “neither the products of our agriculture, our forests and our mines, nor those of our workshops and fac- tories, have anything to fear so long as they preserve their distinguishing merits, and the only danger they have to face is a falling off in the standard either It will be interesting to examine | in | their | st be credited with discrimination in the mar- | World's Commerce,” which is soon to be is- | cial relations, make a very gratifying showing of our " Our total imports during the year were valued at | In other words, it would ' through carelessness or the mistaken desire to ‘ob- tain larger profits by lowering the quality. * * * This conclusion is the more obvious when we con- sider that the remarkable development of our exports of manufactures has been due to their excellence rather than to any marked improvements in our methods of pushing sales abroad.” Since so much complaint is heard of our Consular service, it is worth noting in this connection the Re- view proves that a great deal of valuable work is done by the present officers. The published reports are of ! great use to manufacturers and to merchants, and no | other country has so rapid a system of disseminating | | information, or one that so satisfactorily meets the re- | j quirements of industry and commerce. e Great changes, it is said, are to be made in the “upper office” of the Police Department. This is one | of the few cases where the people can rest with the | assurance that change cannot be anything else but for | the better. | A WESTERN M@N WANTED. | EPUBLICAN leaders in the East are reported to be well nigh unanimous in desiring the | nomination of a Western candidate for the Vice Presiderfcy on the Republican ticket. The occa- | sion is therefore propitious for the advancement of | such a candidate. It appears certain that if the Great | West will put forward a strong man, and give him ‘ cordial support, the nomination for that high office | can be obtained for him. | The opportunity thus afforded for California to | | place one of her citizens in the Vice Presidency should not be overlooked. This is the Empire State | of the West. Its prestige on the Pacific Coast is higher than that of New York on the Atlantic, but | that prestige has never been exerted in politics, and accordingly the State has never had anything like its rightful power and place in governmental affairs. The | call for a2 Western man coming at this time is there- | fore one to which the Republicans of California | should give heed. The nomination is equivalent to | an election, and by the display of harmony and | energy at this juncture we may mark the beginning of the new century by installing in the second highest | office of the republic a representative of the Pacific Coast. There are many reasons why a Western man should be preferred to one from the East at this time. In | the first place the choice of a candidate would strengthen the ticket to some extent in this section | of the Union, and in the second place it would be a | due recognition of the growing greatness of the West | as compared with that section of the Union lying ca of the Mississippi. The time has gone by when Eastera wits could with any show of reason refer to the com- | remained.

It would be invidious | to cite the names of some worthy of the office while omitting others, but it would be easy to name several whom the people of the State could support with a | just pride for the position.

AG@IN, FREE SILVER. T silver. Inits last fit of this kind it nominated and elected | HE Rocky Mountain News has spells of feeling rocky, in which it brings forth its large type and exclaims in double leads for Bryan and iree Bryan, enacted free coinage at 16 to 1, doubled the | population of Colorado, increased the price of real | estate by 100 per cent and raised silver to 9o cents an ounce, the day after election. In exact terms the | News said: “The power of Bryan over Congress | | would equal his influence with the American people. | It would be irresistible. If Bryan becomes President | free coinage will be restored to silver before his term | | expires. 5 | “The mere fact of Bryan's election would raise silver to 0o cents an ounce. How can loyal | Coloradoans falter now? In the face of the fact that | the Democratic party in more than forty States is | pronounced for Bryan and free coinage, that the | Populists and Silver Republican parties are unani- | mous for them, the Coloradoan that is not for Bryan is a traitor to his State, placing party before prosper- | ity, and voting to completely destroy its silver mines, | : for with the cause of silver made absolutely hopeless | the price of silver will decline yet one-half.” If merely electing Bryan will spur silver up to 20 cents an ounce, his inauguration should send it kiting | to $1.2029, or par with gold. As Mr. Bryan has con- tinually cried that dear money, par with gold, makes | low prices, we are compelled to say that the two prophets, the News and Bryan, are working their gift | of vaticination against each other. They are two | prophets, prophesying in the same vast field, but | their prophecies don't pull together. | The News says that seductive efforts have been | | made to woo Mr. Bryan from the path of duty to the | divinely appointed ratio of 16 to I, but that he has | | nobly refused, and his attitude has compelled William { ‘: R. Hearst to print a signed editorial pledging him- | self to support Bryan. Of course when Hearst signs ;an editorial things are getting serious. But will the | News explain why, if Mr. Bryan's devotion to silver will raise its price if he is elected, the devotion of | somebody to putty will not raise the price of that useful commodity if the devotee is elected to thc | Presidency? | If the price of commodities depends upon such | causes, let us have hog and hominy, bull butter, and wheat, oats and rye candidates for the Presidency, or pool the issues of all those useful articles and run a succotash ticket that represents them all! But the Chicago platform declared that the gold | standard caused an “appreciation of gold, a fall in the price of commodities, the prostration of industry and the impoverishment of the people.” | If these direful things follow the appreciation of one | money metal, why not of any money metal? Yet here _is the News threatening us with a sudden apprecia- | tion of 31 cents an ounce in silver, which according to the platform of 1806 should depress prices, prostrate industry -and impoverish the people. Come to look all of these prophecies and platforms in the mouth, we are inclined to shy. We fear the Colorado prophet is a Schlatter, and the Nebraska prophet is “an apprentice at the business, and that poor Mr. | Hearst is the victim of misplaced confidence. l | teres | Hawail, is at the California. | iana at Baton Rogue.

Miss Emille Hager was the guest of honor at a tea given vesterday afternoon by Mrs. Walter E. Dean at the Palace Hotel. Miss Hager, who recently® an- nounced her engagement to Walter L. Dean, was overwhelmed with congratula- tions from the several hundred guests present. The tea was quite the most elab- orate affair of the season. The decora- tions were of surpassing beauty, and the | | costliest blossoms were used with a lavish | hand. In the main reception-room orchids were used, and a beautiful effect was pro- duced by a trellis work of the rare blos- soms, which nestled over the immense surface of the mirror which decorated the mantel of the apartment. Roses and pimks were used in the decoration of the other apartments, and in the dining-room pink and white sweet peas decorated the | mhbvll"' 5 | rs.

In the library, where the cere- money was performed, pink and whhe‘ blossoms were used with pleasing effect. Daylight was excluded and pink silken | lanterns shed the only light in the room | during the ceremony. The bride was at- | tended by Miss Gertrude Allen. who of- ficiated as maid of honor. William F. | Humphrey, an_?ar!ner of the groom, was | the best man. The bride wore a gown of | ink satin entirely covered with an over- ress of white point.

The bride's bouquet was | a shower _bouquet of orchids, a gift of the | froom. The flowers were worth a small | ortune.
