The difficulty which confronts tiie execution of the Geary regis tration law, namely the refusal of the Chinese to register, was not. anticipated at the time the law was parsed, and it has. gotten Un cle Sam into a quandary. Thej law provides that those Chinese who do not register according to; law, shall be deported. Only a small percentage of them have, up to the present time, complied with the provisions of the Geary act, for reasons which are not entirely dear. The regulations as first promul gated provided for the payment of a lee by the applicant not exceed $1, which would be compensation rnl flia nl!Afnr nf internal reve- ivt vtiv -- - nue. Before the registration be can the secretary of the treasury decided that no fees should be ex acted, and that the collector shoult be entitled to no extra compensa tion for his work. A hue and cry was then raised against furnishing photographs, the Chinese claiinin; that the government was gather ing a collection that might be re ferred to as a "rogues' gallery.' They also claimed that it was in convenient to fuanish two wit esses. Secretary Carlisle in re aponse to these objections pre seated by the Chinese ane theii sympathizers instructed the co! W.tnrs to discontinue the use of photographs and accept the testi mony of one creditable witness And still they do not register. About the onlv reason that the mas of Chinese have for not com plying with the law is that they are commanded noi to do so by th Chinese Six Companies. The best objection that the Six Compan ies can make is that the law is tin constitutional, but it is probably more profitable lor tnem, in va nous ways, to oppose the law. For the alleired purpose of bring ine the matter before the supreme court the Six Companies have nrvpA (vp.rv Chinaman in the country to contribute one dollar Having received a vast sum in this manner, they now de mand five dollars from those who did not pay the dollar. A oscular stales that a failure to make payments according to de- WkAits? mill Via ivtfkt I 1 1 0 S0 f 1 1 CO 1 of certain papers issued by the Six JComDanies without wlucli a Ulii inaman cannot return 10 uiuna. The Six Companies have ample Itnpnnsnf fixppiitiiir their decrees. Taking into consideration the Chi nese population it may be seen I that avast sum of money will I Bass into the coffers of the tyee Chinamen. By the enforcement of the registration law the Six Companies would be deprived of the profits from the smuggling business, because no Chinaman would pay a high price to be illegally brought to this country when he would hfve no assurance of being able to remain. Through their numerous agents it is claim ed they contract to land coolies for $500 each, while the actual expense does not exceed $150. It would seem, now, that no Chinese will be sent out of the country until the supreme court snail decide the constitutionality of the law. Should the law be upheld we can scarcely hope that a wholesale deportation will even then take place. X In the press of important busi ness1 which the present administra tion has to attend to, including the financial muddle, the annexation proposition, Chinese registration, etc., it 6hould not lose sight of the tariff question. The country got worked up on this matter during the presidential campaign and bus fness interests, have been in sus pense ever 6ince the election of Cleveland.

Twbes effected by the present -ehedule on account of the chances promised in the democratic plat form. If there is to be a change Jet us have it; if not, say so. We need a settled financial policy, and -a settled tariff policy of some kind :jnore thanrthe special form. The historic old Liberty bell, which rang out independence July 4 1776,will have a triumphant prog res from Philadelphia to Chicago. A special train will be provided Jroeof cost by the Pennsylvania railroad company. . The commit tee irr ebaFge of the precious relic have beet begged by- the mayors f various cities to stop long enough to allow fitting receptions to be eriven bv the citizens. At Indianapolis it baa been arranged that the school children shall pa rade and -be given ' a sight of the GOVERNMENT FINANCES. - The condition of the govern ment's finances remain in quite an unsettled condition, but on the whole, it seems rat her jnore assur ing. That there has been, and is now, cause for some alarm i3 gen erally admitted, but the best means of remedying the present condi tion ot affairs is I lie point of dif ference. Gold has been flviiur the country at a rapid rate for some time, and many expected a finan cial panic when the gold reserve of $100,000,000 was reached and broken. The upper crust of the reserve was removed on the 21st, and scarcely a tremor of the ex pected financial earthquake was felt in the money centers of the count ry. To a correspondent Sen ator Chandler said: UI can state the position I take in a single proposition, and that is that the secretary of the treasury ought'to use the hundred millions of the reserve if it becomes neces sary, and not issue any bonds un til he is obliged to. That large fund was made to be used. That, is what it is there for, and it should be called upon before any other steps are taken. The law requires national banks to retain 10 per cent of their earning for a surplus to be used in an emergency, and why should not the government resort to the same policy? I am afraid that gold will soon go to a premium, and the country be forc ed to a silver basis." When asked what effect the fi nancial situation would have upon the calling of an extra session, Mr. Chandler replied: 'That question can best be an swered by the parly in power. The question of an extra session depends entirely upon the present administration, whether it is broad and large in its contemplation or public affairs or small and inade quate, whether it shall prove strong and courageous. If it is strong and has the courage for which some people give it credit, Mr. Cleveland will call an extra ses sion and repeal the of law 1890. Whether congress will or will not follow the advice of the president in this matter, he can at least place the responsibility upon congress. In my opinion Mr. Cleveland will surely go to ruin if he permits gold to M a premium, rather than call an extra session." The president is more confident, lie says: 'The inclination on the part of the public to accept newspaper re ports concerning the intentions of those charged with the manage ment of our national finances seems to justify my emphatic contradic tion of the statement that the re demption of any. kind of treasury notes, except m gold, has at any lime been determined upon, or contemplated by the secretary of the treasury, or any other member of the present administration. The president and his cabinet are absolutely harmonious in the de termination to exercise every pow er conferred upon them, to main-j tain the public credit, to keep (he public faith and to preserve the parity between gold and silver and between all finance obligations of, the government. While the law of 1890, forcing the purchase of a fixed amount of silver every month provides that the secretary of the treasury, in his discretion, may re deem in either gold or silver .the treasury notes given in payment of silver purchases, yet the declara tion of the policy of the govern ment, to maintain the parity of the two metals, seems so clearly to regulate this discretion as to dm tate their redemption in gold. Of course, perplexity and difficulties have grown out of an unfortunate financial policy which we found in vogue, and embarassments have arisen lrom ill-ad vised financial legislation confronting us at every turn, but with a cheerlul confidence among the people and a patriotic disposition to cooperate, pending a legislative return to a better and sounder financial plan, the strong credit of the country is still unim paired and the good sense of our people, which has never failed in the time of need, is at hand to save us from disaster." Million are Barnes, of Lansing, who a few days ago did not owe a dollar in the world, is today likely to go Droke. lhe embarassments of the Lansing Iron & Engine Works and the Lansing Lumber Co. have caused him to pay obli gations aggregating $15,000, and to pledge the balance of. his fortune for the payment of further liabili ties exceeding over $700,000. He did this to save the credit and busi ness honor of his son, O. F. Barnef. It is estimated that thirty thous and persons paid for admission to the world's fair grounds last Sun day. Inasmuch as the fair is not yet open, the Sunday closing obligation is not yet in force. The attendance served to illustrate what a hardship the closing of the gates on Sunday is going to be on the vast majority of the poor peo ple who can ill ' afford a day off from their regular occupations. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.' WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, April 17tb 1893. Mr. Cleveland has certainly been unloi tunate in the orders he has is sued caucerniiig ; flags. ? People have not yet forgotten the howl ol indignation that was raised during his first administration wheu he is sued an order directing - that the battle flags in the war department, which were captured during the civil war by union troops, should be returned to their original own ers. That indignation was so uni versal, outside of-the South, and even there the order was not gen erally favored, that the order was never carried into affect, and the captured flags are still in the war department. The indignation over his order to lower the American flag which Minister Stevens had raised over Hawaii months ago is even deeper and stronger than that aroused by the battle flag order, but as yet it isn't so loud here, at Washington, because, being an in ternational question, prominent men hesitate to publicly speak their opinion about the lowering of the American flag the first in stance of the kind on record, and it is to be hoped the last for fear that it may injure American in terests. But privately, condem nation of the act is heard on every hand, and not a little of it comes from democrats. Even those dem ocrats who tried to smooth the matter over and talk about its coming all right in the end admit their regret that the flag should have been lowered upon Mr. Cle veland's order and by a man vffio spent four of the best years of his life fighting to destroy that flag and all it represented. Perhaps the members of the administration are not familiar with a quotation from Hon. William Maxwell Ev- arts' "Our National Banner" which is echoed in the hearts of millions of American citizens, ready and willing to fight, and to die, if need be, for "Old Glory" "Let that banner wave forever, May its lustrous stars fade never, Till the stars pale on high; . , While there's right the w rong defeating, While there's hope in true hearts beating, Truth and freedom shall not die." Had the sailors on the U. S. S. Boston, now anchored in the har bor of Honolulu, lelt disposed to sing the "Star Spangled Banner," after the humiliating episode of lowering the stars and -stripes had occurred, they might fittingly have used a revised version of the fa miliar worcs, something like the following: . Oh, say, we can't see by the noon's bright light, What so prondly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, ' Whose broad stripes and bright stars, in the dim light, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so iallantly streaming, And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, -Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there: Ob, say, the star-spangled banner doesn't wave; It has been lowered by the band of a Raising the constitution of the U. S. as a bar to prevent some thing they do not wish to have done is a very old trick with the democrats in congress, and . yet it does seem surprising .that they should be willing to go before the country with such a flimsy excuse for not being willing to have the charge of criminal embezzlement against Senator Roach investiga ted. The republican' senators be ing a minority could not force the democrats to vote on Senator Hoar's resolution, before adjourn ing, but they could, and did, com pel the democratic majority to put itself on record as being afraid to allow this investigation to be made, not because it would almost cei tainly have resulted in the expul sion of Roach, but because it would have laid bare the methods by which the election of Roach was secured, methods far from credit able. Republican senators are willing to let the matter g in that shape to the intelligent people of the country, for the present at least. They will bring the matter up again at the regular session of congress, when they hope to be able to compel the senate to take action. Half of official Washington will go, down to see the interesting in ternational naval review in Hamr ton Roads, in w h ch, t ianl s to a republican congress and the Har rison administration, the United States will make such a creditable showing. ; The end of the extra session of the senate was very quiet, although there were several very stormy periods during its last days. In suspending the further issue of gold certificates Secretary Car lisle was rather hasty. : The law says they shall be suspended wheu the gold m the treasury, falls be low $100,000,000. This it has not yet done, although it may do so be fore the wee it ends. Mrs. J. H. Parker, wife of the cashier of the First National bank of Baker City, Or., committed suicide by taking an overdose of morphine. . Domestic . infelicity was the cause of the suicida. ALSO HEADQUARTERS FOR BEE SUPPLIES, : FRBTILIZRH.S. SPRAY PUnPS. ETC. .vjsrir rosT office rules. Fat. man Bissau, who is Cleve land's postmaster general, has got up a new set of post office rules, which a New York paper says are as follows: A pair of onions will go for two cents. Ink bottles must be corked when sent by mail. , Persons are compelled to lick their own postage stamps'and,. en velopes; the postmaster cannot be compelled to do this. Persons are earnestly requested not to send postal cards with money orders enclosed, as large sums are lost in that way. , Nitroglycerine must be for warded at the aisk ot the sender. If it shoud blow up in the post master's hand he cannot be held, responsible. When letters are received bear ing no direction the persons for whom they are intended will please signify the fact to the postmaster that they may at once be forward ed. As all postmasters are expert linguists the address may be writ ten in Chinese or Choctaw. It is unsafe to mail apple or fruit trees with the fruit on them. It is earnestly requested that lovers writing to their girls will please confine their gushing rhap sodies to the inside of the envel ope. Ducks cannot be sent through the mail alive. The quacking would disturb the slumbers of the clerks on the postal cars. When watches are sent through the mail, if the sender will put a notice on the outside, the post masters will wind and keep it in running order. John Smith gets - his mail from 694,279 post offices, hence a letter directed to John Smith, United States, will reach him. When you send a money order in a letter, always write full and explicit directions in the same let ter, so that any person getting the letter can draw the money. Alligators over ten feet in length are not allowed to be transmitted by mail. The placing of stamps upside down on letters Is prohibited. Several postmasters have recently been seriously injured while trying to stand on their heads to cancel stamps placed in this manner. BABY RUNNING SORE Wont Sight Ever Seen.
