Action of si ii;kmlatmi early period willbe pressed, for thereason Unit iiv operation of Hi ? presentlaw coasos In the first part of May.There would la a(I>ol of the Asiatics ,cotnini;in, should there bo strap openby the failure of congress to act. ThaPacific cunt m^mbjrn will1)3 urgentfor :i si)--dy report from tin: senatucommittee; but, ifuinticco3sful,will at-tLMiipttlioforcingptooati. ItUnot prob?ablo, however,' that tlio senate will imi-tate the uiib.'L'Kiuiii,' hiiito of tin: HouseIv passing bo radical and unexpecteda measure with itiattequata debate.There is no party feature to the scheme.Tlie Pacific states are solid for it. Therepresentation from that section la al-most entirely Republican, but the billwas Introduced in the house by n Cali-fornia l? 'in i-r.it. Among those whoopposed itmost forcibly were a Detoo-cral from Mississippi and h Republicanfrom Illinois. Should itootne ton .votein the senate, there is little doubt thatItwillpa?. Bin ? even bellevjthat thepresident willapprove it. as it tniirntmake trouble for him in con-vi'tition if ilia Pacific delegatesKhoiild kick. If ho has the cour-aue'of his convictions, he will veto itpromptly. more tho subject is dis-uussed by the prwjs, the more soriousthe objection to it appear. It is, un-questionably, a breach of faith, a viola-tion of treaty obligations, and would besi cause of war if China were equippedlor that issue. The exclusion of Chi-

nese Labor is the only end that the gen-eral public seeks. There is hardly anydissent from that, policy, and it couldbe carried out effectively without anyabsolute break with the Chinese gov-frnnu'iit. This new bill is an in-tensely drastic affair. It shuts outmerchants, students,, 'artists, and,even if missionaries are sent overto vert heathen Americans, they areto ba shut out. The only persoos forwhom the door is to be left open are theImperial minister and his suite, or otherdiplomatic representatives. it is im-material if the Johnny has become acitizen of another country; he must notcome in. Of course, muter these cir-cumstances, China would have no partin the world's fair. The defense of sosevere 4meain re is diflicult, and findsits impulse only hi the ueeds of politi-cian.-.

-??., THE AQUEOUS DIIiGMMA.'Ithas been the practice in all the pro-

liibition suites for the Republicans toput that dogma into their platformsregularly. This has been specially thecase in the Dnkotas, lowa, Kansas and>i;uiie. Inthe original restrictive statetins has been done fora generation, anditis a meaningless matter of rote, asthe liquor dealers are not made serioustrouble while they vote the Republicanticket. The situation In lowa is famiiar. Now, hi Kansas the Republicansare in a quandary. As itis presidentialyear, they want to leave "prohibitionout of the platform. The leading partypapers are urging that policy. They wantto be inline with the national organi-zation and carry the state for .llak-i:i-i>.\. Another element is far moreconcerned to control the state and localaffairs, and this Is believed to demandthe indorsement of prohibition. ? Thesepeople, who live to compel others to beKood in their way, will lly the track ifthe regular indorsement is not had.They are uncompromising, and run theline to Washington. This controversywill be of service In pulling the stateout of the Republican line next fall.In the Dakota jthe Prohibition Repub-licans are on their mettle constantly,and suspicious of any movement of theother follows. They are willingfor a compromise, provided theyare given the whole of the tur-key. The fellows who want anew vote on the constitutional amend-ment are admonished tostop their talk-ing. They may think and kick a little,butnot try to disturb the law or theconstitution. The prohibitionists havelonic on their side when they reply toallegations that the system is a failure;that it would not be it no one opposed,and they will keep on the line ofprin-ciple tillall corns to them. As this willnot happen for a good while, the ques-tion will grow in difficulty for theparty, and itis not apparent just nowwhether itis safest to hang on or let go.Trouble looms up in cither case. .

WlLli NOT GO.The Boston, ladies who were to bloom

out upon an astonished world in thehabiliments of dress reform sometimesince failed to materialize. Possiblytheir courage was inadequate for the

ordeal. In California/however, theladies of one prominent communityhave, so quietly as toeven surprise (heir

husbands nml neighbors, taken anewdeparture. The <*(><<tfim? is a skirtreaching three Inches below Che knee,

with leggings and a blouse waist.Other ladies are following the example,and itseems to be a success in that lo-cality. Yet it is not liKely to becomeepidemic. Areform that adopts a partof the nether male garment may as welldemand the wboK. The abridgementnear the ground has never seemed apopular tendency with the sex.

hi: bpoku i'> mm>.Uov. Mkciuam pays the penalty of ',

greatness. He is in Washington, pre-sumably for a vacation. Yesterday hevisited the boose ofrepresentatives andtalked with.John LIN'D. Somebody sawhim. In five minutes the telegraphicwires werehot with the tidings, and thewhole state in drawing its own con-clusions at breakfast this morning. TheSage of St. Anthony Park is not castdown, because he expects no help fromthe present chief executive. But Km ik

Nki.sox, in his Alexandria hardwareshop, as he sells a jackknife to a farmercustomer. Is reflecting sadly o:i the gov-ernor's perfidy.

Rut, perhaps, some one willsay thatMr.Mkkiciam and Mr. I.i.m* did nottalk about politics at all yesterday, andthat no significance attaches to theirmeeting. Maybe this ii true, but whoIs iroimr to believe it. When Horacecalled on M i.(i:na- in the days that aregone the prime minister used 10 discusswithhim profundities like these: "Whattime in it?" or"If anybody is carelessenough to leave off his overcoat thismorning he may catch cold." lintnot sothought the Roman people. They weresure that nosecret of state was too la-cred to be hidden from the poet's ear.

Very probably the governor said to >

Mr. Link,"The capitol Is a bigbuild- ;Ing."aid Mr. Lixi> replied, "It Is In-deed quite large." Hut this is not thepoint. IfMr. Mi.i:i:iamdid not intendto further the Link gubernatorial boomhe should not have spoken to him at allin public. Even a little thing is veryagitating to Mr. Nki.hox and Mr. Mc-(?ii I.and Mr.Ivks and Mr. BeATWOLXin their present anxiety. Our governorhas great power.. He should use it 80us not to hurt others' feelings.

"WON'T SING UfRRICA."Colored people all over the country

in conventions assembled arc pledgingthemselves not tosine '?America," be-cause of the alleged outrages recentlyinflicted on some of their race in theSouth. The (Ji.oiik is against outrages,and is glad to see our colored citizensasserting themselves and insisting ontheir political a.id social lights. Theway to get a thing In these days i- todemand it. But it does not seem likelythat the world will be very deeplymoved by anybody's refusal to sing"America." The average singer, wheth-er he is white or colored, sings badly,and no one gets much pleasure out ofhis performances except himself. A ;law forbidding vocalism would be un-popular, but a hearty welcome awaitsany volunteers who are willing to cutoil their own resources in this direction.There will always be tuneful warblersand whistlers enough tosatisfy the gen-eral yearning for this .sort of thing.Our colored Citizen must not expectoutrages tostop because they stop sink-Ing. Suppose, for example, somebodyshould threaten never to slug or whistle"Wang" again, if any mace murderswere committed in St. Paul. Would itstay the assassin's hand. Not a bit of

'it. On the contrary, it is probable that ,a score of dead men would be found invarious parts "ot the city as soon as thenews got about. Singing is overdonehIready.

IiKO XIII.Archbishop Ikkiank lias given for

publication a sketch of Pope Leo'smind and character. It records hisviews and impressions gatnercd fromhis recent visitto Home. Instrong andpicturesque English he paints a noblepersonality; The venerable man hasentered his eighty-third year, withbodythe frailest, but clear and alert of mind,capable of great industry and keenlyinterested ii> the world's passing prob-

lems. Inthe midst of an atmosphere oftraditions and precedent, enveloped bymemories of the past and the prestigeof lons-established order and methodsof thought, he stands forth with start-lingdistinctness as a sympathizer andadvocate of modern progress, and. as jthe archbishop expresses it, "of all thattends to the betterment or tho presentlife.'.' The whole world is- his field,wider than the domain of any monarch,

and the whole world's problems are Miscare. With breadth of view and pro-fundity ot wisdom he utters words ofearnest counsel and kindly encourage-ment, now to one class ofmen, and nowto another. Ills is an inspiring figure,for whose portrayal the world owes adebt of gratitude to our eminent felldwcitizen.

TIIENEW JERSGY LAW.Some mention has been made of the

new road laws ot New Jersey as per-haps the best extant, and embodyingfeatures worthy of consideration inother sections, Inthe next decade theconstruction of eood common reads islikely to eugage public attention asmuch as the building of railroads hasfor a generation past. The sectionsthat fail tocatch on in good time wiltsuffer. The New Jersey measure is notradical and imperative like those of old-world countries, but itis a good start inthe right direction. "The county boardprovides the machinery that insuresexpert supervision and substantialwo k. On petition of two-thirds ofthe real estate owners, frontingon a public road,' stating their willing-ness to meet one-tenth of the cost of amacadamized road not less than a milenextent, the county is compelledto provide for its construction. Thomaximum tax for road building is to beone-half of1 per cent of the taxableproperty ofthe county. The state is tomeet one-third of the cost of the roads,not, however, to exceed $7."),00T for acounty in.any year. Itis believed thatgood roads will.in a few years becomethe rule in that state without onerousexpense to ar.y. The communities thathave the solid, smooth ways will bethe most sought and prosperous. Butit is left with the property owners totake the initiative.

CAPITOL SKETCHES.Special Letter to the Globe.

Washington-, D. C. April9.?Every-thing about Washington is. of course,more or less a monument to the ratheror his country, and that every great andillustrious roan is pictured in everyconceivable shape all over the city.

There are dozens of him in and abouti the capitol, in marble, bronze, plaster

and paint, but out in front of the eastface of the buildingis an Image of himat which the graceless youth of thetown who reverence nothing on earth,are accustomed to nucs. The statue isof marble, perched on a pedestal onwhich is carved "First in peace, first Inwar and first in the hearts of his

? countrymen," and appealed yesterdayfor the first time this year. Few of thestatues about the city are protected inthe winter, i;iitthis one is housed everyfall in a rough shed of boards. It rep-

-1 resents Washington seated and drapedwith what appears to be a sheet. The

,ibroad chest is exposed and the statue isreally impressive, but the frivolous sayit represents Washington tre^ii fromthe bath, pointing, as indeed lie does,'.o the national museum when; hisclothes are.

i j Those same clothes are the familiarblue and buff uniform the (\u25a0omiiiaudei-in-chief wore when he resigned hiscommission. They impress one- withthe idea that Washington was of im-mense height, but thin of leg. Theyand Franklin's printing press are lead-ing attractions at the museum, .butoddly enough, ace somewhat overshad-owed in popular favor by a bitof humanleather, which was atone time such anattraction to the young girls of the citythat it actually began to exert a balefulinfluence. It was even rumored thatthe authorities contemplated Ms re-moval. It is a circular bank of skinfrom the arm of a teen year-old girl,ami to the chagrin of every visitingwoman who prides herself on the deli-cacy of her skin, it is thicker andcoarser of train than horse hide.

Hun ViMltorn Are Treated.Apropos of visitors, no inconsidera-

ble portion of a legislator's time is con-sumed in doing the honors of the cityfor visitors from his particular district.Some of the congressmen turn over thispart of their duties and privileges tothe professional guides who haunt everycorner of the city,but others areas wellinformed as the guides themselves.

j Congressman Fellow?, of New York, Isoften to be met with personally con-duct! m; a party of New Yorkers. lie isa little man, out he knows itall, fromttie bronze, doors which "weigh 20,000pounds, and cost $30,000 ingold," to thewonderful subterranean capitol. andsince Col. Fellows frankly confessesbefore the whole house that he has beenguilty of tippling there can be no vio-lation of confidence in saying that thetipple his visiting constituents sometimes enjoy with him is not infre-quently a bottle of Moet and Chaudon.

?I?ti-I-iiii llenr> Jerry MllipMon.

Gov. Merrlam has been a visitor atthe capitol for several days past. Onthe Moor of the house, with SenatorDavis on one side and CongressmanHall on the Other, he listened to thespeech of Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, onthe tariff, bill. Mr. Simpson declareshimself a working man, but lie reallydoesn't look it. There isn't even any-thing strongly suggestive of the agri-culturist about him, and it the dressingof his nether extremities is in any waydefective, one wouldn't imagine it fromth? neatness of the rest of his attire.His Prince Alber; coat is buttonedtrimly about his somewhat thin figure,and his dark moustache droops neatly,even if a bit hungrily, lie possessesan admirable voice, it lias not theclarion ring Mallory, of Florida, pos-sesses, but itis round ami lulland car-ries well. Mr. Simpson is alwayslistened to and has a clever way of mak-ing capital of slips his opponents make,lie rides a bicycle, and rides ita greatdeal, with more skill and energy, how-ever, than grace.

Agreat many of the senators of theFifty-second congress have precededtheir senatorial successes by a term ormore in the house, but few, if any ofthem, have passed immediately fromone body to the other likeSenator Mills,of Texas. The new senator has beenvery quiet. Indeed, for the first two orthree days he occupied a desk in thesenate chamber, he- scarcely ever lefthis seat. He seemed ill at ease, andthose intimately associated with himsay that even now he misses the life andfreedom oi the less dignified house.

The l.an?<iboro Journal goes beyond theshadows of the governorship and tut;V*onthe nomination of N.Klagsley, of Austin,for attorney general on tbe Republicanticket.

The Madeli* Times, notln? the fact thatLieut. Gov. lv?-? reeljcompelled la withdrawfrom the race for congressional honors, say*'tnat "tome attribute it to Ma desire to run'for governor.' 1-

The Red Wing Journal names the dele-gates at large to the Mimieapo'.is conventionas follows: J. S. Pillnburr. ot Minneapolis:Mauford Newel. 01 Paul : Y.A.Day. air-monnt;and "some man from bniuth."

Pally fosifjisays the Little Vs.* Herald:"Itwould be somewhat amusing Ifthe Ke-pnbfleaos should nominate Kuute Kelson, assioedler el the Mills tArirJ bill,and run himon the McKinley platform, to see some ofthe Republican orgatu \u25a0 juirsi.''

Here itis again hi black and white fromthe St. Cloud Times :"True, the peoplewant more money, but they al?o insist thatwhen the goverument places its Hat opoa apiece of bilver and stamps it "One Dollar'that it kball be worth I'JU cents and not TOcents."

In MM line of antiquarian researches tbeIlutcbinkon Leader ?ay?: "We are surprisedthat (he papers which favor A.It.Sid.Hi forgovernor again are not atirocatin? the re-election of Hayes to the presidency. Byspading a little further in the politicalgrave-yard they mightaneartb atill more interest-lugspecimens; tor instance. Charley Oilmanand John 1.. Gibbs."

Marshall county Leader quotha: "Yes,that wouldnettle itif the Alliance and Dem-ocrats sbould combine on v M.Owen forgovernor.' The ouiy possible thins that couldunsettle such a programme would be for theRepublican* to nominate- Kuute Nelson andtry 10 break up the Alliance by working theuatioualhy racket. And that, probably,wouldn't unsettle it."

The Marshall County Leader thinks thesupply of cakes and ale at Minneapolis willb0 small, judging from the present outlooK,and eoucnos the idea Intbe following lan-guage: "Itlooks now as though there wouldnot be as much fun at the Mlnneapolih con-vention as one would have a right toexpect.They will simply meet, nominate Harrisonand adjourn." _ *

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

The ease with which the Chinese ex-clusion bill passed tin*house is readilyaccounted for. The Chinaman lias novote, nee few friends.? Kansas CityJournal.

A Chinaman will need a long-reachjimmy and many other burglarious ap-pliances to get into tbe United btatesvvldii the in",1,1 exclusion act kdos intoeffect.? New York World.".Whatever objections may reasonably

bo taken to the admission of Chineselaborers, the exclusion of merchants

\u25a0 and students and other immigrants be-longing to unobjectionable classes willnot. we feel sure, be approved by pub-lic opinion.? Uostou Herald.

The Ch'foescs exclusion act Is. DO itsfact*, an unworthy bill. It is in direct

\u25a0 violation of the solemn ;treaty obliga-tions of the United, States. i From thestandpoint of common'honesty and thenational intejrrity.lherefore.it shouldbe defeated.? Huston Advertiser.'

China is init mood to retaliate uponthis government, ai^l American' resi-dants in Chinese .cities arw^nisvini: uu-eejsjr. The;foilisih bill- passed by thehouse Monday, abrogate (MC all treatiesaud excluding Chinamen from ourshores, willcertainly not pass the. sen-ate, 'nit wo have done enough to arousethe drasron, and our interests in Chinamay as veil bo abandoned. -.New YorkAdvertiser. \u0084; \u0084, .

We have important commercial rela-tions withChina which this act puts injeopardy. Ifthe housu were blind toconsiderations of the national honor itmighthave had some regard to the ma-terial interests of the nation. The prob-able response of China to the enactmentof this act would be the expulsion ofour merchants and missionaries and thecessation of commerce and all friendlyintercourse with us.? Boston Herald.

There is a more .straightforward wayto the accomplishment of Chinese ex-clusion. It is possible to cease treaty

relations with China altogether, or so tomodify these relations as to leave eachnation free lo admit or exclude thecitizens of the other. With such an un-derstanding between the countries wecan pass the Geary bill or any other ex-clusion measure and preserve our na-tional sell -respect, which is more thancan b" dime while the existing treatiesremain nominally in force.?

The address delivered at the zrav2 ofWalt Whitman yesterday by Col.ln^er-soll was all that the most ardent ad-mirers of the poet could have desired,and in so tar us it was a tribute to thepersonal character of the deceasedrattier than to the genius of the poet noexception willbe taken to it in anyquarter.?

throughout the state that the citizens ofAnoka county, without regard tv race,sex or politics, aru enrolled under theMc(iil)bauuers. ready to follow EditorTease to St. Paul Inter in the reason anddemand that the Republican state con-vention nominate ex-Uov. UeGUI forgovernor; but this|imprcsslon baa beenmdely dispelled. Away back in 1989Anoka county was a McGillcounty, andin that year elected a delegate to thestate convention instructed to support(iov. BscGil] for nomination. At thehead of this delegation was EditorPease, now the grand marshal or theex-governor's forces, but Editor Teasedid not support Mr. McGjIIIn that con-vention, according to the Aaofca Herald,which. last Saturday, under the head-ing "Security Wauled," printed thefollowitu:In ni!uounci!i_' Bon.

The "ancient" history resurrected inthe precrding clipping shows that ex-Gov. McGill had some friends' In A.nokacounty four yt .tr-jago. 15 it the Heraldclaims that they are now "out of sight,"and that, aside from Editor Pease, notone can be found. The situation is sizedup after the following manner by theUerald:Ifthere isnny '"demand" In Anoka for th?

Editor Penso and the Mc<!illboomwore Riven several more spicy para-graphs, none of which willannoy thoUnion man grertly except Un one inwhich he is termed "Granny." 'Ihistitle Mr. Pease does not take kindly to,because, as he stated toa Globp. man'a few days sinee. tie had not been railed"\u25a0?Granny since be was a boy." The of-fensive paragraph follows:

Ye godsmidlittle fishes: that our illustrious towns-man should be dubbed "Granny."

Th? Hernia regrets to explode tlievery pretty little story to the <\u25a0!!'??! thatEdito*Pease has worn a IfcGill iiad^eever since tin- convention of ihss, withthe avowed purposu or never ceasing inureiug McGill's cause until the tatter'sadministration had been lodorsad bythe customary second term, but it isobliged to do so. and performs the dis-agreeable duty in the article which fol-lows:

The truth is that Brother Pease wns tent tothe Mate Republican eon veuiloti -in theyear ofour l.ord'l IMS,as a delegale fromAnoka county, instructed to vote for Mi?.iii.Inste?d ot doing th.s be went into the Mcr-rlnin camp toon after reaching tbe '-iced< \u25a0\u25a0>. aud voted forMcrrlnm on every ballot.Itis very Bad to destroy the pretty romance,but Brother Pease willnot deny the correct-ness of the Herald's statement*.

For some time past Col. Samuel Low-enstein has been quietly circulatingamong his friends and acquaintingthem with the fact that hi;is a candi-date for delegate to the Minneapolisconvention from this district. iii-ene-mies in the party, unable to appreciatehis services to the party, have sprungcandidate after candidate against himin the hope to force him out of tin*race,but Col. Loweustein has compelled allthese to pull out. The Louis Niemoboom, thfi Fitzgerald boon and the Mer-riam boom have each been frozen out.I>urin_ past few days, however, theanti-l.iiwiMi^ifin forces have becomedesperate* and have trotted out EditorGeorge Thompson, or the Dispatch,acainst the First ward statesman, andare doing noend work in his behalf.In relation to this move, a friend oi Col.liuweusteiii writes as follows:To the Editor of the Globe.
