HE unanimity with which Congress indorsed the abrogation of the Russian treaty argues patriotic purpose strong enough to effect the repeal of the Chinese clusion law. What ever temporary liarm abrogation may work to our relations with a friendly power will be more than offset hy ite incentive to dealing justly with the oldest state in the world “When Mr. Root was urging that the tre le terminated be cause American Jews were not admitted to Russia, Mr. Bailey asked him how he reconciled his views with our Chinese policy. His answer was that he “would not discuss the Chinese question.” Yet it must he discussed. It has already been raised in Russia’a official organs. She has millions of Chinese subjects. How can we demand that she | admit any of our citizens who seek admission and ourselves bar out any of her subjects here? : This question will become acute when a new treaty is nego: tiated. Some of our State officials believe that short of repeal of | the exclusion act the problem is insoluble. In some of our treaties we have “most favored nation” clauses which bind us to extend to, other nations concessions we make to one. Must not any article which asserts the right of Americans to enter Russia regardless of race or religion concede the right of all other peoples with whom we have moat favored nation treaties to enter our country? Some of the State officials are so fearful of this that they favor the omis- ion in the new Russian treaty of any article safeguarding the righta of citizens travelling abroad. This would leave our grievance un- eolved, Is it the American way to demand justice for one Asiatic people abroad and refuse justice to another Asiatic people at home? Is) our assertion of the comity of nations and the rights of man only vicarious—to be observed by others and ignored by ourselves? Why iake a position that invites scoffing comment and is likely to defeat the purposes which prompted this good work at Washington? Why not follow the better American precedent—not the sand lots, but the Congress resolution of 1868, declaring that expatriation is a| natural right of all people, the obstruction of which is inconsistent with republican principles? While notifying Russia that abrogation was more than an elec- tion move, repeal of the Chinese Exclusion act would put us in shape to develop the Asiatic trade with the opening of the Panama Canal three years hence. It would give the Pacific slope the Japanese sgricultural labor that the California Commissioner of Labor says it needs. It would square with sound economics and Americ! dessions. Eons THE MELON BLOCKADE. § to the melon trade, the metropolis ‘has been for nine years a suburb of Jersey City. ‘This discreditable fact is disclosed in a brief filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission ‘by Southern growers and Northern merchants. In 1902 the Penn- eylvania Railroad ceased its practice of lightering melong across the North River and unloading cars itself. Dealers had to go to the Henderson street yards in Jersey City to get them, Many dealers quit, Wherefore it is prayed that this grievance be abated, or at any rate that a reduction of five cents a hundred pounds for decreased service be ordered. Now the public knows why watermelons have been so scarce here for years past, and why cantaloupes cost more, Supplies ‘have deem sidetracked and quantity diminished because access was more, Giffiult thereto. Jersey City has revenged itself for the humilia-| tions of that period described by Irving when the “broad mouthed Dutch negroes of Communipaw” rowed the market boats of their masters to this island. Now Father Knickerbocker must take boat himself, Would he have a Nutmeg melon, a Hackensack Large, a! Rocky Ford, a Surprise or an Ogage, he must cross North River, Whither must he go for the majestic watermelon of the South—the Black Diamond, the Blue Gem, the Cuban Queen, the Duke Jone the Florida Favorite, the Mammoth Ironclad, the Mountain Sweet, the Pride of Georgia, the Southern Rattlesnake, the Sweet Nabob and the Sugar Stick. It is essential to the happiness of this town that cantaloup white, red, green or yellow, have direct entrance, and that the water- snelon, spherical, elliptical or ovate, keep them company, The com: | {nission ought to see that “the best market in the country” is made such, . | eee AN OPERA SINGER’S HUSBAND if one of his best known poems Browning creates a situation difti cult of solution between two men and a woman, asks the reader's . answer and thus gives it up himself: "And Robert Browning, vou | writer of plays, here’s a subject made to your hand.” What is the answer in the case of Maric Rappold, opera sa rey and tHe husband of whom she says: “L want a divoree and have! ho grounds for one; he will not let me have ity le does not love me! | The conple were married when she was young, he made sacrifices | to train her voice, and her suc hrought separation, He ney calls on her, but always attends t vera When she sings and ser her flow “She and her friends are t gh for me.” he eluims frum his modest doctor's offic Brooklyn Sut he will n divorce her, for fear sie day marry agai worse things come By New York law he must degrade himself his wife can aecurt her coveted freedom Assume that Nevada js noi, what is wy out Picked Up Here and There.
