PRO-CHINESE CCORDING tc the Washington correspon- A dent of the Boston Transcript there has been iy manifest at the national capital a in opposition to the re-enactment ssion law. He does not under- take to say how formidable the opposition will prowe itself to be when the lines of actual battle are drawn, but he asserts that in the oppggition this time there will be found clements that were not hitherto opposed to exclusion, and consequently the strength is likely 1o be greater than ever. Among the forces that are expected to oppose exclusion are the steamshjp companies plying be- tween the United States and China, Southern em- ployers of labor who are dissatisfied with thé negro, manufacturers who have ‘goods to sell in the Chinese market, and merchants in all the large cities. It is said that we have now a good chance to extend our alrez sentiment the Chinese € trade in China, but that the exclusion law acts against us in that respect, inasmuch as it inflicts upon the Chinese indignities which they resent. Speaking the sentiments of the merchants the writer says: “Our trade with the Chinese must develop very slowly if always subject to the handicap of the necessity of carrying our goods to them on the chance of their being willing to purchase, whereas if every facility were offered for the free admission of themselves to come here and see what we have to sell a large commerce would soon grow up between the two countries.” One of the most instructive features of the article is the forecast of the tactics that will probably be adopted by the opponents of exclusion if they find themselves powerless to defeat it outright. It is said that 2 compromise will be offered. It is known that the coming session of Congress will be very busy, for it has many great questions to deal ‘with. A prolonged fight on the exclusion bill would inter- fere with the legislation for the Philippines, the isth- wnian canal bill, the reduction of taxes and other mat- ters hardly less important. Taking advantage of4hat fact, 2 proposition will be made to have ti exclusion bill go over until next term. As the present law ex- pires by limitation in May, that would leave seven or eight months in which the Chinese would have full freedom to enter the country, and would afford a test of what might be expected should exclusion be set aside altogether. Commenting upon the desirability of making the experiment of a limited season of unrestricted Chi- nese immigration the writer ‘says: = “If all the pas- senger-carrying companies were to stretch their traffic to the extreme they could not bring an aggre- gate greater than 4000 or 5000 2 month, so that 30,000 or 40,000 Chinese would be the outside numbér who could take advantage of the opening. This would not be a sufficient multitude to do any harm to white labor through competition; and probably the bulk of it would be absorbed so quickly in channels already cleared and waiting that the only effect the working- men would see would be an increased development in certain industries, from which they would ulti- mately reap the greater benefit, since everything pro- diced by Chinese labor would have to be boxed and hauled and shipped to various markets, and in these lines Chinese labor has never begun to compete with white at all.” Such are the forces we shall have to meet this win- ter, and such is the plan they will probably adopt in making their fight. Itis well to be forewarned. Our representatives can be counted on to stand firmly for exclusion. Their motto should be, “No compromise.” We are now being told by many papers that “visit- ors to the exposition at Charleston have been aston- ished at the magnitude of the scheme of construction and the magnificence with which it has been carried out”;. but we have heard that before about other ex- positions. It is stated that for the third year in succession the book trade inyLondon has fallen flat on account of the war, so it is no wonder the litefary fellows are howling for peace. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURST)AY, 'NOVEMBER 28 1.‘901' SICK SERVANT RECEIVES CHIEF WITTMAN'S ACTIVITY. ‘ and well directed measures for the suppres- sion of pool-selling that there is now a fair prospect. the evil will be = greatly - diminished, if not absolutely stopped. At any rate, the pool-sellers will have to carry on their illicit trade so secretly it will be no longer an enticement and a temptation to the youth of the city and to the public generally. The supervision exercised by the police over the cigar trade has had its good effect already. The pool- sellers who used the cigar business as a mask be- hind which to carry on the sale of pools have found themselves exposed and ‘wiil be compelled to give up the’practice. The results will in the end be bene- ficial to the legitimate cigar trade, and the armoy- ance of the supervision will be overlooked by reason of the benefits that flow from it. That much is so well understood by legitimate dealers who have never made a practice of pool-selling that they may be counted among the firmest supporters of the reso- lute policy of the Chief. The activity of the police in the suppression of pool-selling comes at a most opportune time. There have been reports of late of the intention, or at least the desire, of certain parties to reopen Ingleside track for racing, with the accompaniment of book- making. It is just as well to have any such move- ment stopped at once. San Francisco has had ample experience of the results of unlimited racing and track gambling at Ingleside, and has not forgotten the lesson taught by the experience. The public still retains the memory of some at least of the many de- falcations, embezzlements, forgeries, robberies, mur- ders, suicides and other crimes resulting from the gambling mania acquired at the track. Many a home in the city has been blighted by those crimes and well nigh every class of people have been affected by them. It is to be borne in mind that the movement for the reopening of Ingleside does mnot mean merely a resumption of racing. To that there would be no objection. In fact, under the law the management of the track has a right to hold races there at this time. if it should choose to do so. The objection is to book-making and to other forms of gambling at the track. Horse-racing, inasmuch as it tends to promote the .breeding of fine horses, is in itself good. The evil lies in the gambling that accompanies it. The fight, therefore, is not in any sense a fight against racing any more than against horse-breeding. It is directed exclusively to the prevention- of gambling. It matters not in the least whether the proposal for reopening Ingleside ccme from the present matfage- ment of the track or from any other man or set of men. The objection is to the track gambling itself, and not to any particular management. - The fact that one set of men might run it more properly than an- other does not count in the problem. 1f the track be reopened and bookmaking or other forms of gam- bling be permitted there the results are bound to be similar to those which in the past roused the moral sense of the whole community and brought about that crusade against the evil which led to dts sup- pression. Under no circumstances, then, should there be permitted a revival of track gambling at Ingleside. Upon that issue the better elements of the peaple should be united and resolute. It is one upon which there should be no compromise. It is not to be overlooked that one of the best methods of putting a stop to the proposed movement for reopening Ingleside track will be that of strengthening the hands of Chééf Wittman ip his ef- forts to suppress the illitit pool-selling that has been going on in the city. Should the support given to Wittman be openly and emphatically pronounced the men who have been promoting the scheme for re- opening Ingleside will see at once that their efforts | would meet with an overwhelming resistance and they will abandon it. On the other hand, if the ef- forts of the police against the existing practice of pool-selling be coldly received, the Ingleside schemers will conclude that sentiment is no longer averse to their scheme and they will be corrcsponq- ingly encouraged to undertake it. Chief Wittman's activity comes, therefore, opportunely. It will not only put a stop to existing pool-selling, but check a scheme to set up bookmaking within the city. The Chief, then, is doing the right thing in the right way and at the right time. It is the duty of all good citizens to sustain him. v Pt e T——— Roosevelt is said to have told the Republican sup- porters of various candidates for Kentucky appoint- ments that they could have a day in which to reach an agreement.” The next day they asked for a week, whereupon he told them he would make the appoint- mentg, himself, and he did. To the politicians the method scemed sudden, but the people will perceive in it nothing more than promptness, and approve it. THE YEAR'S IMMIGRATION C shows that the total steerage arrivals num- bered 487,018, being an increase of 39,346, or approxi- mately nine per cent, over the arrivals of last year. In addition to the steerage immigrants there were during the year 74,950 alien cabin passengers who en- tered the country, making the total fer-the year 562,868, A study of the report shows something in the way of improvement, but still there remains a good deal that is far from satisfactory. One of the gratifyi features -is the announcement that the chara‘cterfi the immigration is much higher than it has been in recent years. Thus the number of intending immi- grants who were rejected was considerably less than last year, notwithstanding the increase in the total number who arrived. On the other hand it is noted that among the persons admitted there were 117,587 who could neither read nor write, and their general poverty was such that 204,860 had less than $39 each on their arrival. The classification of the mlmlgrants as to race and OMMISSIONER POWDERLY'S report HIEF WITTMAN has taken such vigorouss of immigration during the last fiscal year nationality shows that there arrived from Ttaly' 135,096, from Austria-Hungary 113,300, from Russia 85,257, from Ireland 30,561, from Sweden 23,331, from Germany 21,665, from Norway 12,248 and from Great Britain 12,214. The majority of the immigrants gave as their destination the States of Illinois, Massachu- setts, New York, Pennsylvania and Mary]a"ld Com- paratively few were going to the South or coming to the far West. Most of them are going fo districts where they have rclamves or friends already. - estab_ lished. The fact that so large a proport!on of the new- comers had less than $30 each is a proof of the pov- erty from which they have sought to escape, and also of the low standard of living to which they have been accustomed. Many of them indeed have been almost forced tc emigrate from their former homes by the pressure of taxation upon the scant can influences will of course do much for many’ of the newcomers, but the strain they will put upon the labor market is certain to be severe in some com- munities. 2 2 Discussing the relation of immigration to the labor market and to the general welfare of the country the commissioner says: Fawns . “To deal with the problel:n successfully it seems in- dispensable to remove as far as possible thcse con- ditions which conflict with the incorporatica of the alien element into the socxal system of the country, so that by actual experience the former may learn as soon as possible that the basis and foundation of the American polity are a respect and affection for and a willing obedience to the laws and customs of the land, because the maintenance of those laws is the best safeguard of individual IiBegty. It is therefore recom- mended that Congress enact suitable legislation, either with or if necessary without the co- gperation of the States, for the purpose of distributing the alien popu-~ lation with some reference to the industrial law of supply and demand.” It is probable the proposed legislation-would prove advantageous to all concerned. It is at any rate one of the recommendations which merit considera- tion when the whole subject of our immigration law is taken up for revision, and that is a task which ought to be attended to promptly. The Governor of Minnesota declares that the re- cent railroad combination between Hill and Morgan constitutes a “consolidation of the roads,” and is therefore a violation of the law; but the managers of the combine declare they have provided only for a “consolidation of control,” and it is over the differ- ence between those two ideas that the fight is going to be waged RELIGIOUS FURORE. £ HERE is a differenge between fervor and T furore. Fervor may Be legitimate earnestness in a legitimate cause. Furore,'on the other hand, may be inconsiderate zeal in a legitimate cause. The world has been furnished two recent instances of religious furore in which its use and action were in direct opposition to the spmt of the cause which lt professed to serve. The fi¥st had for its scene the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalcm What a center of Christian zeal has that venmerable structure been! It caused the Crusades. Peter the Hermit so aroused the zeal of Christian Europe against its possession by the in- fidel Saracen that vast armies moved to its rescue, chanting and praying as they marched. <Even chil- dren caught the spirit of the Hermit, and there is no more pathetic incident in history than the mobilizing of a great company of children which marched toward Jerusalem and evaporated by disease and death long before it saw the land of the infidel or the domes of the Savior's sepulcher. Later on, according to Kinglake, a quarrel between two sects of Chris- tians over the repairs to the roof of the holy struc- ture was the cause of the Crimean'war, in which human valor inscribed a*hew chaptér in the history of man’s courage and sacrifice. The last and recent contention seems like a descent from the sublime to the ridiculous. Two bodies of Christians have been disputing for the privilege of sweeping and dusting the church. The Mahometan Governor of Jerusalem, fearing trouble, had posted troops around the sacred edifice to keep the peace. The two contending parties of Christians, apparently by agréeément, beset the infidel soldieérs by surprise! and whipped them. Then the followers of the Prince of Peace fell upon gach other in a bloody battle, in which some were killed and many wounded. The rival forces began to receive recruits from their re- spective partisans, and the war was only ended when there appeared a sufficient force of the followers of the Son of Abdallah to stop the believers in the Son of Mary from killing each other. Just which side won the right to sweep and dust the church is not told in the chronicle of the furore. The inciz:nt is a sufficient commentary onge per- verted view of Christianity held by the part®s who furnished it. If it had occurred in the Mosque of Omar, or in the temple of Buddha in Lhassa, we would have summoned our Christian pride and pointed to it as the natural manifestatign of the fail- ure of a false religion in the restraining of human passion. But as the scene was the center of.the Christian cult, the holiest of all its places, what can we say? No sooner had this furore hecn quelled by the troops of the Prophet than another bloody one broke out in Athens among the Christians who adhere to the Greek rite. It was proposed to translate the- New Testament into modern Greek, as it is translated and used by Catholic and Protestant Christians in all the other modern languages. For a reason not stated the university students in Athens opposed this inno- vation. - They insisted that the sacred books should remain it ancient Greek only. This seems unnatural, for students are supposed to’be. intelligent and pro- gressive. The ancient Greeks were not intolerant in religion. ~Their education was purely secular, but they were the first ancient people to tolerate all forms of religion. In Athens, moved by a commend- able spiritual hospitality, they built a shrine to every god they could hear of, worshiped by the nations around them, near and far, whose people might visit their_city and desire t® worship the home deity. Lest any.should be forgotten they built an altar to “The unknown god,” and when St. Paul preached on Mars Hill and was asked what god he worshiped he answered in his provincial Greek, “The unknown god,” though not in that exact phrase. ¢ The students who show such, zeal for the ancient langlagc as a medium for the New Testament seem to forget utterly this fine spirit of toleration which honored the men who made that language. They raised a riot and rallied on the ruins of the Temple of Jupiter Olympus and fought the police, until a mob of twenty thousand took part and seven were killed and a large number wounded. When driven off, the students barricaded lhc university and held it against all comers. The incident is a mixture of tragedy and comedy. If the gods of Olympus were real gods, though tem- porarily retired from business, how they must have been amused looking down from the classic height upon thé furore and murder going on where the ‘Temple of Jupiter stood in the time of Pericles. Imagine Mercury bringing the latest news of the fight, while Jupiter and Juno, with Venus, Neptune, Vulcan and the rest, listened as Diana read the bulle- tins and the Muses ‘sang ragtime ditties full of local “hits” uncomplimentary to their modern successors 'in Attica! ~ NTy T —— Boss Croker has announced that he wishes “vindi- cation,” and that he will stay in politics with Tam- many until he gets it. It would seem from this that the old man has lost his head, for vindication is a hard thing for a politician of his type to find any- where, and it is a sure thing he will never get it from revenues derived lrom their profits or wages.

Mrs. Ledwith had been in charge of thes President’s boys and girls ever since they were born. Before that she was in the family of Mrs. Roosevelt, who was Miss Edith Kermit Carow. Mrs. Ledwith had endeared herself to two gen- erations of the family and she is looked upon as an important member of the housghold. Mrs. Ledwith came from Ireland when a girl. She is related to well known fami- lies of the Emerald Isle and is a woman of education and refinement. Her posi- tion in the President's household is that of nurse and nursery governess. She is now 76 years old. She lost her husband early in life and forty-five years ago was engaged by the family of Mrs. Roosevelt. On account of her faithfulness and intelligence she be- — came indispensable. She was nurse to Mrs. Roosevelt in childhood and Iater, when the young mistress went to Europe, Mrs. Ledwith accompanied her.” She went with Mrs. Roosevelt after her marriage and has been with her ever since. When the President was Civil Service €ommissioner and later when he was As. sistant Secretary of the Navy Mrs. Led- with accompanied the family to Washing- ton. She was a familiar figure In the streets of the capital, where she was fre- quently seen driving with the Roosevelt children. Mrs. Ledwith contracted a severe cold at the inauguration of President McKin- ley last March, from which she has never quite recovered. She is now at the home of her sister, Mrs. Mary Flynn, who lives at i50 East Forty-eighth street. She is under the care of a trained nurse sent to her by the President. It is reported that she Is regaining her health. It is expected that she will be able to return to Wash- ington'in a few days. Mrs. Roosevelt has also called to see Mrs. Ledwith and sends frequently to in- quire concerning her condition. (] WW—PH—H*H%—I—H—*H-H-H*FH—H—%W L] A CHANCE TO SMILE. “Blimber is getting poetical.

Uncle Sam will soon issue a new ter- dollar greenback, which will be a novel “buffalo bill.” The design for the new treasury note was drawn by a celebratci artist and student of animal nature who is connected with the National Smith- sonian Institution. Several weeks ago it was engraved by one of the most skillful artisans employed at the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. Its chief feature is the represcntation of a buffalo bull, with bent head and ouistretched tail, on a prairie of sage grass, in the position of pawing for food. The note has been so designed that about as much white wid show as is now visible on the silver cer- tificates of 1899. ¥ After the Gage method adopted two years ago, conspicuous numerals will be used on the face of tne bill. The buffalo bill will be the fourth of a serles of five bills which Secretary Gage planned to have issued after a distinct American type. The first three of the typical Amer- jcan series were the $1 silver certifi- cate, with the eniblematic eagle, the $2 certificate, with a portrait of George ‘Washington on its face, and the $5 certin- cate, showing the head of Indi>a.
