TJjojeb the above caption the S. F. Bulletin makes the folloiring re marks regarding tlie issuance of Chi nese return certificates: For the second time Tvithin a week there comes the direct ruling from the treasury department at Washington that there is no form of certificate that nill enable a Chinese to enter this country but that issued by the govern ment of China, or of that to which he was last subject, setting forth that he belongs to the privileged .classes of the treaty. The rule applies as well to the privileged classes who profess to have left this conutry for a visit to their native land, as to those who ' have not yet honored us with their presence. The order this time goes to the collector at As toria, Oregon, who has been in-the habit of issuing permits to re turn to alleged Chinese merchants wishing to visit their native land. Further, the collector was directed to tear up and destroy the stock he had on hand. These are propositions upon which the Bulletin has been insisting ever since the passage of the exclusion act. There is no other way in which the law can be read. But for all that there arc several expedients by which Coolies are admitted at this port. The question really is whether there is any law of congress which United States commissioners are bound to respect when their own pecuniary advantage is involved. But the chances are that the law is bound to get them finally, even if it reach them by the round about way of Astoria, Or. The clear and distinct ruliugs of the treasury department on Chinese questions are very gratifying. Excitable men all over the country are commenting upon tho chances of a Avar between this country and Great Britain, brought about by trouble over the Behriug sea fishery question. Ambitious army and navy officers, de siring promotion, which comes so rapidly in times of war, and so very slowly in limes of peace, are doing their best to fan the flame. "What the result will be is uncertain, but it is likely that sober judgment and cool heads will be suffi cient to restrain all the impetuous na tures, and that there will be no trouble which will require a clash of arms to settle. "War is too expensive in blood and treasure, and the memories of its horrors, as realized only a little over a quarter of a century ago, are still too fresh in the minds of many to desire a repetition of its dark scenes. "Let us have peace.' Though there may be no law by which property owners can bo com pelled to repair broken planks in the streets in front of their respective premises, an effort should bo made to compel them. Let tho proper notices be served upon them and if they fail to comply, then let complaints bo sworn out and the city attorney com mence action. If these fail, the fault will not be chargable to officials. Law or no law, personal pride and a proper regard for tho limbs and lives or horses who have to bo driven through the streets, should be suffi cient for every man to at once repair any break in the planking of the street in front of his property. AccoitDixG to tho latest estimate from Porter's office, Oregon will be credited with 303,000 population. Tills is 50,000 behind the real popu lation of the state, but is not so unsat isfactory. For it is probable, that the next congressional, appointment will be on a basis of 180,000. In this case, all over 90,000 extra, would form just basis for an extra congressman iu the event of the houso of represen tatives being enlarged as to member ship. The extra 125,000, over tho 180, 000 required for one member, would thus give Oregon a very good claim for another congressman. So that it is not so bad after all, though away under what it ought to be. ilousroxs from Utah have gono into tho Northwest territory, and are spreading their pernicious doctrine among the Indians. The government is trying to counteract the work, but the only sure way to prevent tho spread xti Mormonism in this country is to crush it out entirely, commenc ing at Salt Lake City. That curse in this fair laud is a foul blot on the es cutcheon of our national honor. Iiottert business, so far as it is being carried on through the mails, is liable to be curtailed or stopped en tirely. President Harrison's message begins to bear fruit, for yesterday tho anti lottery mail bill was approved unanimously by the senate committee on postoffices and post roads. FOREIGN NEWS AND GOSSIP.
