SHALL THE CHINESE GO?
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.

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. No person is receiv

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."

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.

.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.
