RE-
The unanimity with which the
people of California are mov
ing1 in the expulsion of the Chinese
from that state is no new develop
ment of popular feeling. It is a
reiteration of a practically un
animous sentiment expressed six
years ago. In 1879 it was assert
ed that those who wanted the
Chinese to go from California
were louder in noise than their
number justified. The result of a
direct vote at the next general
election, however, was about as
unanimous as anything of the
kind could be. Here are the fig
ures. They are instructive.
Against Chinese immigration,
154,038; for Chinese immigra
tion, 883; just about the same
as if we took a vote on some
thing in Astoria to-morrow,
and of the 754 voles 750 voted
one way and the other 4 voted
the other way. People would
have an idea we were pretty -solid
one way on that question.
Before and since memorial after
memorial has been presented to
congress, resolutions and declara
tions without number have been
made. In the last year, since the
wholesale success of a fraud in
evading the restriction act has be
come plainer and plainer the peo
ple have got tired of the farce, and
any one that reads the papers
or walks the streets knows the
rest.
An anti-Chinese convention
composed of delegates from all
parts of the state has just adjourned
at San Jose, Cal.; another has been
called to meet at Sacramento,
March 10th. A similar conven
tion meets in Portland to day.
The California conventions have
declared in favor of the abroga
tion of the Burlingame treaty
That is well, but the doing awa'
of that infamous agreement is not
enough.
A prime requisite in the matter
is the co-operation of England.
The Chinese that we see around
us came from Hongkong, a British
colonj over which the Chinese
government has no control. It is
to the English government that
our government must look for ef-
ficient aid in this matter. If we '
can secure the friendly co-operation
of Great Britain and secure i
just and friendly action from Glad
stone who is all the lime telling us
he is a friend of the United States,
we can stop the stream. Restric
tion acts won't do it, abrogation of
treaties won't do it; diplomacy
and persistence can. Where is
the American statesman that can
sink party in an effort for his
country's good? Whoever he is
or wherever he may be found his
opportunity is a grand one.
This we believe to be the chief
requirement after the abrogation
of the existing: treaty. Without
such concert of action on the part
of England and the United Stiles,
and the probable co-operation of
the Chinese government, it isdiffi
cult to see how the desired result
can legally be obtained.
Clarkson, Bright and Wiiber
force showed the horrors of the
slave trade and won a record in
England for their efforts in abolish
ing slavery. England can win
luster for her honorable names by
aiding in doing away with the new
slavery, the slavery of Chinese la
bor in this country that tarnishes
her honor by her acquiescence in
it as it exists.
STATE OFFICES.
The preliminary talk in regard
to candidates for the office of gov
ernor shows, says the Standard,
that few men in either party who
are wanted, can afford to take the
office. Under the arrangement of
public business in this state a
great amount of labor is thrown
upon the executive, which in other
states is performed by various
boards of commissioners. This
makes it jiecessary that the gov-
ernor should devote most of his
time to his official duties, and live
at Salem. The salary is too small
to allow a man to do this and be
honest, unless he has a large pri
vate income which he is willing to
spend while serving the state.
One way to relieve the embar
rassment is to raise the governor's
salary. This, however, could not
be done without amending the
constitution. A much better plan
would be for the legislature to au
thorize the creation of a board of
correction and charities, consisting
of three men to be appointed by
the governor and confirmed by the
senate, whose duty it shall be to
overlook the management of the
state prison, the insane asylum
and other institutions of the kind.
Another board should be appoint
ed to take charge of the swamp
land business. The governor
micht be an ex-officio member of
such boards, but the real manage
ment would be in other hands.
Then he would not be obliged to
live in Salem except during ses
sions of the legislature, visiting
the capital as often at other times
as his duties might require. The
office then would not interfere with
his private business, and any suit
able candidate could afford to serve
for the present salary.
There ought also to be more
state officers. These should be a
lieutenant-governor, an auditor, an
inspector of finance and an attor
ney general. It is far better in a
popular government to have the
power distributed more widely
than it is in this state. If there
were more officers there would be
far less danger of "state house
rings," and a better condition of
public interest in all public affairs.
Two races of men are dying out,
the Laplanders, who number 30,
000, and the Maoris of New Zea
land, reduced from 100,000 to
45,000 since the days of Captain
Cook, and likely to be extinct by
the year 2000.
From the tone of some of the
Portland papers it would seem as
though a riot, growing out of the
anti-Chinese excitement is expect
ed in that city. It is to be sincere
ly hoped that their fears1 are
groundless.
