Tho eliurgi! of ti.vtjtoiiiittlu (leliaueh
lniT of voters is a familiar ono In
werlcaii polities, but is very preatiy

ly" in l.aeliawaniia we Hnnw it is
lalho. l.'leetion e:qieiii-es are heavy
ind money is libeil, but tliu real hulk
of it is US.-U leKitiinately. Instauees
of Us uniaut'ul use are few, unauthor
''.cit, and (.onfined to no one party. For
..'.-ample, in the recent eainpaiKH in
New York eliy, it is said that Timi
.nany sjiunt ?yuU,UU'J and the Kus-inuists
.'.".OO.ijO'J. AVe cannot vouch for I he lis
ures: hut if thu Fuslonlsts spoilt les:.
iha.li Tammany it Mas becan.-o they
had I-ss. It is human nature when
one Is la a light, to use the weapons at
hand for all tiiuy are worth. This
Iruth is not limited to polities. It is
equally true in business, in tho compe
titions of social life, cen in the rival
lies thill develop In the held of le
IIkIoii. Y.t if the. Fusionibts .support
ing Seth J.'iw spent til- sui'i they are
credited with having spent, it does not
uceohsntily imply the systematic dc
bauchiUK of voters. Had as Tammany
i", and no doubt It Is bolter than
painted, we Uun'l believe, that Tam
many put much of its money into the.
liurchaf-e iv attempted purchase of
voters.
To organize thu iiinuiiierahle activi

of hit ml reds of possible influences, to

manager wants him to vote costs
liion-y, as well as time and talent, hut
as a matter of fact, comparatively Ut
ile of this money is iiml in the lorm of
bribes. Practical politicians of nil
part'es Know this, but II ha-? become
the fashion to cry "boodle" and
"bails,"- and those who follow this
fashion Invariably locate the alleged

whole lot inorf remains to he mild nltd
done, especially In u city lllto New
York, Hliero the irrittlllrtttlon of vice Is
a prominent anil pi'olllnblo industry.
All cities htm' this problem mid nil
well'S'iM'rneil rlllcii urn wttlllin,' for
pomp oilier city to work ottl it priictl
rnl "otlttlott of the problem, productive
of better results than have jot been
(irodtteeil.
The only spcelilc hmkkuniIoii "' Imvi'
seen In tlie New York discussion i-oiiic
front LHstrltt Attorney-eleet Jutoinc,
who would repeal the act Making It
crlinliiiil olfciice to keep a house of evil
funic. This, he thinks, would take
awuy ll hlef hold which police
blackniallerM have upon this buplness.
Then he would Id the disorderly
lllllldcd prnvltate In icrtaln reioRlilssed
resorts, and keep those tesorlii under
t'uch strict police suivelllailce that the
moment any crime took place within
them they should be; closed and every
Inmate held to stern account.
From a luunuii tilnnilpolni this is ns
effective ii plan of lestiictlon as Is
possible under existing conditions, but
ll will nol be accepted by th"iuists or
teachers of morals, for It Is at bent
merely a compromise with sin. Not
withstanding that there Is no better
working alternative, there Is a senti
ment Inimical to compromise, and ll is
nol to be iKiiored. 1'erhaps that is
why there In more talk than real pro
Kress In lining away with this type of
vice.
Since Ills election, Travel's Jerome

Chinese Exclusion.
THU expiration next year of
the fieary Chinese exclusion
net Is callintr into play a
stroiiK demand for Us re
cnaclmeiit. Slimy of H"- ll11""' '"''K'1"
izations are preparing lo brine; pres
sure upon congress to continue indetl
liltely the essential features of this ex
lieriiuenlal act.
At present no Chinamen ran law
fully piln llrsl eiilr.iuce into the Fulled
Slates unless he can prove to the sat
isfaction of the iiuuiinralion olllcials
that he is im envoy, a student or a
traveler wishing merely to puss
through. Those Chinamen who were
In when the exclusion law was enacted
were allowed lo remain, but they had
to register; and before one, after suing
buck to China, can return, he must be
identified: it must be proved by oath
of two American witnesses that he is
a merchant and nol a laborer; ami then
the period of his absence from Ameri
can soil must not exceed two years.
Against tho citizens of no other na
tion is such exclusion decreed. With
relative freedom wo admit JIulays,
Japanese, Syrians and oilier Orientals
as different from our people in race
stock and customs as are the. Chinese.
Not only Ik the exclusion especially
aimed at thin one peoplu but our gov
ernment on i)iore than one occasion has
forbidden China to retaliate in Kind.
Americana are free to cuter China and
we insist that once having entered they
shall be treated on an equality with all
other foreigners. Against China's will
thu gates of China have been forcibly
opened and forcibly kept open to for
eign iuti rcotirse.
American labor is rightly entitled to
protection against an invasion of
Orientals ready lo work for what, by
our standaul, me starvation wages.
Though relatively a docile and inolfen
slve type of inhabitant, the; Chinese
in numbers are not wanted inthlscoun
try and should not be allowed to enter
in numbers.
Jltit is it right lo make a different
rule for the Chinam-u than for other
foreigners? Should not one general re
striction be applied to all our forms of
immigration one that will admit the
more meritorious and reject the unlit?

Reciprocity with Canada.
ANl'IWSPAl'F.lt dispatch credits
to Sir 'Wilfred l.aiiricr, tliu
premier of Canada, the asser
tion thai the Dominion govern
ment will not again send lomiulsslon
er.s to Washington to negotiate for
reciprocal trade relations with the
t'nited StntoH; "the next reciprocity
treaty," Sir AVllfrci! Is credited with
saying, "must be negotiated at Ot
tawa" in other words, with the Fulled
Stales as the soliciting parly.
We hope that this prophecy, whether
uttered by the Canadlaii premier or not.
may comu true, for If the law-making
power of Hie Fulled Stutes should de
sire reciprocity with Canada HUllielent
ly to feel like sending u deputation In
Ottawa to beg for it, theie would be no
reason to doubt that a treaty would
hpeedlly bo drafted and ratllled. Here
tofore almost all the longing for reci
procity has been on Canada's side.
Yet laying badinage aside, recipro
city of trade and closer communion of
commercial, t-.ocktl uud also political
lulurests between these two kinsmen
peoples sltuuttd sldo by sld urn the
common tseuso promptings, of the situa
tion the logic of destiny ami the des
tiny of logic, Tho other day in a
speoch before tho New York chamber
of commerce, John Charlton, one of tho
ablest of tho inoiiihern of tho Canadian
purlliiment, made this dear.
After pointing out that Canada had
become the United States' third best
customer, In the total of goods pur
chased ranking next to (ireut llrUulu
and Ucriimny, ho tailed our intention
to the fact that tho exports to Canada
from tho United Stales In tho year
pon wero greater than thu American
exports to Mexico, tho Central Ameri
can suites, the South American states,
and tho West India Islands, except
Cuba and l'orto ltlco, tliu relative
amounts having been: Total export a
to Canada, JUB.UT-.WO; export to thu
I, alia Amciican states, above men
tioned, und to tho 'West India, Iriluuiln,
except Cuba mid l'orto ltlco, possessing
it population of S'J.uOu.OOO, or ten times
more than Cunuda, $Ut),HO,000, or SM,
OOO.UUO less than to tho Dominion. This
showing, u Air, churlton'B opinion,
' colli! Utiles proof that the ratio nf Unn
dilii Is worth etlltlvullii!;.
It In the opinion und belief of .Mr.
I Charlton. In which he shown beeniuliig
loyalty to his country, that tho present
! tariff tirituigcinent bitwren Ciiniithi
i mid this county Is unfair to the former,
I ..I I, r....ill...i.... il... ....... ... I ..I
Mure it iiiciiiuiict, in- riue oi ihi;ii-
cuti goodti lit ('intuitu and illscourngeM
the sale of t'aitiiilliin goods 111 tho
Fulled Stales, lie therefore nay;!:
"Finler th operations of the old reci
procity trciily coniinorclal, social and
business relations between the two
countries tended lo grow more unit
more Intimate year by your. Since thu
abrogation of that trealy mid the utt
.luntiueut of the present' tariff policy of
the Fulled States relicllant inllueliccs
have driven thu two peoples further
and fin liter asunder In sympathy und
sentiment. Little doubt can bo enler
talnrd that the United Stntesi govern
ment would have found great udviiii
luge In thu pursuit of a policy us lib
eral as that adopted toward them
selves by tho Canadians. 1 inn often
asked whether an annexation Heiilimciit
exists in Canada. J unhesitatingly an
swer, in nil cases, No: mid under tho
continuance of present trade regula
tions the lapse of time will not develop
such a sentiment."
Making with respect to these re
marks such allowance as appears to bo
called for In the fact that their speak
er In more earnestly interested In his
than in our side of tho discussion, it
nevertheless remains that what ho says
as to the best way to advance cordial
feeling between the two peoples Is
eternally true. Let us bo kind to one
another and let us have peace.
AVoril comes from the City of Mexico
that olllclal society In tho Mexican
capital is aghast at tho uneonventlon
alitios of some or the American dele
gates to the l'an-Amerieau congress.
It is alleged, for Instance, that tho
chairman of our delegation, when ot
tered the distinguished honor of lead
insr into supper the wife of tho Mexi
can president, abrupty pleaded weari
ness and went to his hotel. On an
other occasion, a. reception given by
tho Alexiean department of foreign af
fairs, all the ladies of the T'nited
Slates party were present, but only
one was in evening dress. These mat
ters mi! of small moment lroui tho
cvery-day American standpoint, but,
of course, they excite notice and ad
verse comment among the more punc
tilious Latins, which Is unfortunate,
though, wo fear, not to bo helped.
Jn support of tho proposition that
society has need to revolutionise her
wholu plan of dealing with crime, so
as to oinpha.-i;;-, the redemption, rather
than tlie retributive punishment of
criminals, the following is published:
