Cook, collector of taxes, against Mr. James M. Trotter, recorder of deeds, was argued in the court in general term Monday, and sub mitted. Mr. H. E. Davis appear- for the collector and Mr. Wm. A. Cook for the respondent. In the answer filed by Mr. Trotter the controversey is gone over again with no material change from what has already been published in the REPUBLICAN. He denies that be cau be compelled to record deeds after hours prescribed for the gov- erument of the ollice, and states that when he became connected with the office he made no change or ivnovation as to the hours, and adopted them as proper: that due and sufficient notice has been giv- en as to the hours by meaus ofa placard “Office hours, 9 a.m. to 4p.m. Saturdays, 9a. m. to 3 p. m.” and the other side with the word “Closed.” Mr. Davis, in bis argument, claimed that legislation recoguized that aday began at sunrise ans closed at sunset, and that there was no authority couferred upon the recorder to close the office at any hour he chose. He also re- ferred to the fact that the recorder bad closed his office on the day of the funeral of ChiefJustice Waite a» Prof. John T. Layton, | WASHINGTON, D. ©. SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1888. when that day was not a legal holiday. Mr. Cook in his reply, claimed that the recorder bad the right te adopt the custom he found there, or to change the hours as he deemed fit, aud that his predecessors all closed the office at the time he did. Authorities were quoted on both sides to sus tain the argument made, and near- ly the entire session of the court was consumed by the ease. —_-- ROBIN’s COMMENTS. I often thought that it was funny, The way my people spent their money: And yet had to look upon ye For wisdom, wen: But now yonr resolution’s won me, Ye my well ken. Yes I’m opposed to street parading, *T:s but good characters degrading, And in it we are only trading Oar good for bad, Whilst whiskey ills are merely aid- Ing, To make some glad. Then down with such a celebration ! A disgrace to the colored nation,— Is such the sign o’ education? No! no! I say, Then have a sober celebration On such a day. Ye for parades just cease your sob- bin’ For know ’ti’s but your senses flob- bin’; Thus give your hearts a calmer throbbiv’, And lighter load :— My name?—some call me sighing Robin ; Some R. E. Forp. SHERMAN FAVORS THE EX- CLUSION OF CHINESE La- BOR. As» part of the policy of pro- tecting American workingmen, Mr. Sherman is earvestly in favor of the exclusion of Chinese labor from our shores. Prior to the treaty proclaimed Apru A4LM, 102U, VCUWCUN ww United States and China, the latter country admitted no com- merce from ours. This treaty, to a certain extent, opened five ports of China to American trade; but American missionaries tothe Cel- estial Empire were then unknown. The treaty of January 26, 1860, provided that those American citizens “who quietly profess and teach” the principles of the Chris- tian religian and ‘Chinese con. verts shall not be harassed or per- secuted on account of their faith-” The “Burlingame’, treaty of F-bruary 5th, 1870, provided that “citizens of the United States in China of every religious persuas- ion . . and Chinese converts shail enjoy entire liverty of conscience, and be exewpt from all disabilities or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship.” Pro. visious were made in these treaties tor commercial intercourse. Thus the way was open for American commerce, fur American citizeus to reside and trade in China, and tor Americal missionaries to pi os- ecute their work of evangelization. Tuese were great achievements. li was not then forseen that Chi- nese laborers might flock into our country in such numbers and of such character as to seriously -un- dermine the interests of American laborers. When this fact became app-rent it required the bighest type of statesianship to save our com- merce with China and Japan, to protect American citizens engaged in trade in those countries, and save American missionaries in the enj yment of their privileges from persecu ien _ aud from expulsion. In this condition of affairs the sub- ject of excluding Chinese laborers trom our shores was broached and discussed among our people and in Congress during the administra- tion of Pgesident Hayes. Many jemineut statesmen who favored éhe exclusion of Chinese laborers believed that any efficient legislation by Congress for that purpose would violate our treaty relations with China, would serious ly impair our commerce wiih that country, aud endanger the safety of American citizens there resid- ing and missionaries there prose- cuting their labors. The ‘Builin- game” treaty “recognized the rights of the citizeus of either country to visit or reside in the other.” Thus Congress was confronted with the difficulty and danger of excluding Chinese laborers, to do which would violate treaty stipulations, bring Bational dishonor, and im- peril the rights and safety of our own citizens, Accordingly President Hayes opeued up negotiations with China, witha view to secure the exclusion, bat at the same time imperil no one of our rights or interests. In this he was cordially and efficient. ly aided by Mr. Sherman, then Secretary of the Treasury. These negotiations finally result- ed in two treaties under President Arthur’s administration, both pro- claimed October 5th, 1881 (22 U. S. Stat. 826.828) ; one regulating aud saving American commerce, the other authorizing the exclus- ion of Chinese laborers trom the Uni ed States, without imperiling any right of American citizens secured by previous treaties. Our commercial and other rights and interests having thus. been secured, aud the way opened op for efficient legislation for the ex- clusion of Chinese laborers—a pol- icy which Mr. Sherman always favored —he voted in the Senate for the bill, which became the act of Congress of July Sth 1884, to secure this object. This act (23 U. S. Stat. 115) was designed to execute and carry in- to effect the treaty stipulations. giving the right to exclude Chinese laborers. It specified a time with in which “the coming of Chinese laborers into the United States’ is suspended, and then provides that “it shail not be lawful for any Chinese laborer to come from any foreign port or place, or having so come, to remain within the United States.” It then makes provision or carrying the act into effect, prescribed penalties, eté, Thus the whole subjvct has been so far disposed of in a manner to preserve national honor, to sacri- fice uo right of American citizens, tosecure the privileges of Ameri- can missionaries, aud yet secure the object in view. In the delicate and diff-ult work of securing these results, requ r- ing the highest skill of diplomacy aud statesmansbip, Mr. Sherman tharegoarity others the honors of plemented his labors by efforts more perfectly to secure the ex- clusion. - On the 29th of April, 1886, as Chairman of the Committee ov Foreign Relations, he -.reported back to the Senate a bill amenda- tory of the Chiuese acts, and May 26th, 1886, he made a speech on the bill favoring the restriction. Thus his record on all questious affecting labor and laborers must te eminently satistactory. Nor is this all. SHEMAN’S SYMPATHIES WITH LABOR- ING MEN—TH EXECUTION OF THE LAWS IN THEIR FAVOR. One important consideration is too often overlooked. The most useful laws, when intrusted to their enimies for execution; are so executed, or not executed, as pract- ically touefeat their purpose. Tue sympathies and opinions of execu- tive officers have much to do wih the manner in which they execate | laws. The laboring men of the country have in the hfe, character | and services of Mr. Sherman the highest guaranty that their inter- ests will be safe in bis band : At the tender age of six years, | left fatherless to the care of a widl- owed mother with eleven children, with limited means, he was soou throwa upon his own resources, and has worked his uuaided way, a self-made min, to his high and honorable ewinence. At fourteen years of age he vecame junior rodman in the engineer foice en- gaged in the improvement of the Maskingum River, and so con-| tinued fortwo years, In this and | other positions, which space does | not permit to he traced, he became inure! to toil, and bas never wav- ere! iu hissympathy for all iu like condition. Hi private life, his public ac s and all bis utterences prove this. With views so clearly and for- cibly expres ed, and with a record ou great questions so well under- stood, Mr. Sterman as a caudi- date will solidify the Republican AN NPRECEDENT > @1 earre ax AN NPR NTED @LUB @FFER. \ WGA “itp = § mS (FY CE POLITA’ | (OWT Nee SESSA a BS) RENE Os Ta TEST OF ALL “oy BRIGH | , ep LLUSTRATED MONTH | Y MAGAZINES pemvscl ad a ie 7 it the best megezine published.’ Boston ie YM AN ILLVSTRAT oo, PYBLISHED EVERY AZ, SCHUCHT: VERY SOMA ~ SHES NEW CRE orkreefample Gopy address 4 Lad " smopolitan’ 29_Park Row.
