ARGUING WITH CHINA.
This is the last day allowed for the
Chinese to register under the provisions
of the Geary act. Not one out of ten ot
them have complied with the law, and
the next steps on the part of the govern
ment will be watched with interest.
The Geary act was passed in the Fifty -eecond
congress, and was framed to reg
ulate or stop the immigration ot Chinese.
The first step made in a course for re
striction of immigration and exclusion
was the so-called Angell "treaty" of
Nov. 17th, 1880. In this treaty it is
agreed that the government of the United
States may regulate, limit or suspend
''the coming or residence of Chinese
laborers," but "may not absolutely pro
hibit it," and that "the limitattion or
suspension shall be reasonable." Up
to this time our relations with China
had been the most agreeable ot any
other nation. Kngland and France, be
ing treated indifferently by China in
their efforts for trade, had invaded their
ports by powder and ball, and compelled
their attention of not their respect
This invasion was known as the ' 'opium'
war. These warlike nations in the early
part of the present century had intro
duced and supplied opium to Chinese,
just aa tobacco was introduced into Eng
land from savage America. They did an
exceedingly profitable trade, but as the
energies of the, Chinese were being
sapped by, the deleterious drug, a com
missioner (Lin) was sent by the emperor
to Canton to stop the traffic. He de
manded that all opium in the hands of
foreign merchants should be delivered
to him, and more than 20,000 chests were
delivered into his hands. The entire
quantity- was destroyed. An American
merchant who witnessed the destruction
was 'astonished "that while Christian
governments were growing and farming
this deleterious drug, this pagan mon
arch should nobly disdain to enrich his
t.reafhTy with a sale which could not fall
-abort of $20,000,000," This was the be
ginning of hostilities against the Chinese
Bad in a short time trade was resumed
and opium smuggling went on as before.
The policy of the United States, how
ever, has been one of peace, and it is a
notable fact that the only two foreigners
who have ever received posthumous
honors at the hands of the Chinese em
peror have been Americans Frederick
Ward and Anson Burlingame. The lat
ter became minister at Peking in 1863
and was later employed by the Chinese
covernment as their representative to
all foreign powers with which they had
treaty relations. Mr. Burlingame had
encouraged the immigration of Chinese
in 1866 by saying that a million Chinese
would find employment on the Pacific
coast. At this time they were welcomed
by California, which rendered possible
the development of their vast resources,
and up to even 1881 the cry was still for
more, as the farmers were unable to find
enough laborers to carry on their work
In 1882 the first act was passed re
striding their immigration, providing
the suspension of their coming for ten
years. It also provided for the issue of
certificates to Chinese residents in this
country who desired to go home and
return. They were issued, accepted in
good faith by the Chinese, and when
thev returned with their certificate it
was arbitrarily refused at San Fran
cisco. The United States had violated
their treaty obligations formulated
many years previously, which related
that "China should be accorded privi
leges granted the most favored nation."
Then came the Scott act of 1888, which
was a more open repudiation of the
treaty, and since then the Geary act of
the Fifty-second congress. It remains to
be seen whether it will command re
spect at the hands of the highest judi-
if so in an international court. It WO fid
seem that if international treaties 109 ' n
anvthing, our course cannot be upheld
and it is evident that China is reeling
upon this assumption, since the Chiif
of the United States have been ordered
to pay no attention to the demand to
register. The Chinese are skilled di
plomats, and they are so egotistical as
to believe that no nation is their equal.
They have a right to be proud, since
they can boast of a civilization thous
ands of years Old, while our enlighten
ment dates from a very recent period.
Five hundred years ago Europe was
still in such a chaotic state that we have
but little record of any man or achieve
ment from that time to the beginning of
the Christian era. The Chinese are
unfathomable. With a "smile that is
childlike and bland," there is no telling
what notions are flitting through their
steeple-chase of thought. They have an
entirely different process of reasoning
than ours, leading to conclusions that
seem ridiculous. For the first time in
recorded history they will measure
swords on the judicial arena with men
of Anglo-Saxon origin. It will be in
teresting to follow their mode of argu
ment, and we shall await the contest
with interest.
THE OLDEST DEMOCRAT.
HIa First
Tote Was Cast for
President
James Madison.
It is claimed for Edward Embry that
he is the oldest democrat in the coun
try. He was born in or near the ham
let of Summer Duck, Va. , jn the sum
mer of 1788, and it is supposed that he
first voted for James Madison, the fourth
president of the United States. He has
always been a democrat and told a
Boston Globe man that he took much
pleasure in voting for Grover Cleveland
last November. The old gentleman
seems to have passed a rather quiet,
uneventful life, notwithstandine his
EDWARD EMBRY.
great age. He was drafted for the war
of 1812, but was not called upon for
actual service. His age at the
breaking1 out of the civil war, 73,
naturally exempted him from service.
Mr. Embry was married in 1824 to Miss
Harriot E. Embry, and by this union
had ten children, seven of whom are
living. The oldest son is now 65
and the younirest 45. The old veteran
makes his home with his two youngest
children. Besides the seven children
there are sixteen grandchildren and
twenty-seven great-grandchildren, and
if the old gentleman ever gathers his
descendants about the family hearth
stone the house must be of a good size
to accommodate them all. Until with
in a few years the family has made
their own clothing, weaving the clotb
on hand looms, and the counterpanes
now in use in the family home arc
home woven. The clothing worn by
the old gentleman as shown in the
picture is homespun. During his active
life he was a hard worker, eating1 plain
food and being simple m his habits. His
life has been quiet and peaceful. He
has hardly been outside his native coun
ty. During all his life he never rode on
a train of cars.
He is below the medium size and his
hair is comparatively black, even at his
advanced age. His memory of old times
is still good.
