THE UNITED STATES ,
AND THE CHINESE.
in a particularly timely article in
Thr -Outlook (New Yorks Chester
Holcowhi•, formerly sec'retary of. the
United States -Legation at Pekin', dice
eusm•s.the question of ('hinese expiul-
siou and the boycott. Ile does not
mince matters. He spt'aks strongly
of the "outrageous acts." "scandalous
• Legislation" ,and "Shameful record" of
the United Stites in the trer.ttuent of
the Chinese. He shows that in 1880 a
treaty, which is still in force, was con-
cluded with China. "which provided
that. the United States should •here
the power to ' regulate, limit or sus-
pend es
nd theg
immigration n u t Chinese
laborers,
but not toprohibit
italto-
gether : that Chinese laborers already
in the United States should 11e free to
remain, to travel to and from it at
will : that allher-el/tsars of Chinese
n t
should be at liberty to enter, reside
the country, and pursue,their
within
avocations, without molestation : and
that Chinese of every class, while
within the United States, should he
granted all the rights, privileges. and
immunities of citizens or subjects of
the most favored nation.' "
Mr, Holcnnlb• shows then how by
subsequent acts and amendments,
"each, if possible, more degrading tie
the Chines• and outrageous upon our
part than its predecessor," this treaty
has heeu violated, and says . "If we
choose to look facts squarely in the
face, we are forced to admit that the
whole .course of national legislation
upon this subject has been illegal,
abusive, insulting, and without any
excuse of necessity in its relation to
the Chinese. As an exposition of the
abilities, sound judgment, and just
spirit of our tuitional law -makers it
exhibits a spirit of panic, of wilful
disregard for grave, international
interests. and of crass ignorance of
even the commoner obligations under
which each civilized nation oust re-
in/lin,
.i nein, which is as .reproach and a ho.
, miliation."
Mr. Holeotut* also states that. with
the general immigration laws of the
States the Chinese find no fault : they
realize the wisdom of excluding ser•
titin clas.e.of in 'grants. and the l'hi-
nese; (tovernment is "on record as
strongly opposed, to every forty of
immigration of its pcelple to foreign
parts under contract."
Regarding the Chinese boycott of
Penitent States goods. ,h•. Holcombe
laughs at the idea that by an 'irnperial
cnminand issued at the request of
President Roosevelt any result can he
effected. "The Chinese," he says,
"are not fools, and sl lung as We dis-
criminate against,. abuse. nod insult
their people, they will, with ur with-
out a formal boycott, continue to dis-
criminate against' our waxes, and
avoid, as far as y be possible, all

THE MINORITY IN QUEBEC.
A recent editorial utterance of The
Montreal Star. a Conservative journal,

The Cemservative party in the mother
c tee is the party ,f satchel distinc-
tionthe bate Lord Salisbury, a high
Tory, in it trenchant phra(e, termed
it "a pity of classes and their de-
pendents." This exactly descrilarlthe
old Tory party in this country. Al-
though it is fee less true its its applica-
tion trslay. The Canadian ml• AIIN-
.tralian, who has breathed the deuir,-
cratic air of colonial politico, has no
natural affiliation with Btitisb Con-
servatism, but the colonial who goes
to England to live usually does. 'n be-
enus• he hes emote a fortune, nt•
reputation, and is ambitious nt social
preferment. Consequently, he !allies
himself with "the party of dolmen anti
their dependent'. Ile is happy if
he can nth al Mete with aristo-
crats. If he cifi't break into their
chow. he can at beast be a dependent,

What memos to be the (newt -wide-
spread null these' days?
Undoubtedly want of fidelity to
trust.
Pnblic oxen sacrifice the interests of
the people who select them as trustees
of office and rusG,lann of public
property, public money, public rights.
They give re.vay the people's prop oily
to their friends. Ever day directors
who are on two Mated, will .lat'riHre•
the interests of one of them to the
other.
Directors And officials of joint stock
isompantes forget their trust, and
threw for whom they (fold it treat,
from whom they derive the trust, shd
in) propel IY adr,ance their own inter-
est or their friend,t At the repenter of
their shareholders.
Clergymen forget their denontine-
tion and their principles and aitcrifir.

Public officials forget that they ate
