Current News and Views KNEWAL OF OHINESE EXCLUSION. * Next May the Chinese exclusion acts will expire by limitation, and the fore­ handed people of California are al- ready engaged in a vigorous agitation for their extension. Probably t.M« movement will be successful, but its chances seem to be somewhat jeopar­ dized by the intolerant attitude of some of its supporters. In places where people turn upon the streets to stare , after a quiet Chinese laundryman the source of the intense feeling against his race is not understood, and the Whole opposition to Chinese immigra­ tion is set down to unfounded preju­ dice. The supporters of the present movement would, therefore, do well to •bate the violence of their language, and argue their case on its merits. That there are good reasons for renew­ ing the present laws becomes evident on slight reflection. The objection to unrestricted Chi­ nese immigration rests upon the as­ sumption that a large number of Chi­ namen would come into the country if they could do so freely. The rapid in­ crease in the number of immigrants before the passing of the exclusion acts seems to show that this assump­ tion is just. That the presence of such a large body of Chinamen would be undesirable, at least from the political point of view, is generally admitted. • government is not truly one of the people when there is a vast mass of Inhabitants who are alien sojourners- •nd not citizens. On the other hand, perhaps no one desires to give China­ men the ballot. We already have a great many ignorant voters in our dties, and experience does not Incline ns to increase their number. No one is properly qualified for the suffrage who has not some appreciation of the principles of popular government, and In this one department of life, at least, the Chinaman does not seem to be an apt scholar.--Chicago Tribune. VICE QOV. WRIGHT. There are rumors, emanating from COod sources, that the appointment of I LUKE B. WRIGHT. . Ltike B. Wright as temporary gover­ nor of the Philippine Islands, may eventually be made permanent At present Judge Taft is ill and the duties of the office had, of necessity, to be placed in other hands. As a member of the Philippine Commission, Luke Wright was e natural successor. Now tt Is said that Taft and Gen. Chaffee are not wholly in accord, and that, •ven in the event of the former's speedy recovery, it is not at all certain that he will resume his former posi­ tion. For the present, at least, Luke Wright is an interesting figure in pub­ lic affairs and he may be for some time to come. THE M'KINLEY MEMORIAL. The national association formed to erect a suitable memorial to William McKinley at Canton, Ohio, finds its work Impeded by the project offered by public men and residents of Wash­ ington. The circulation of appeals for both projects tends to confuse the pub- 11c as to which is the proper object of popular contributions. Any doubt upon the subject should be dispelled by a simple statement of the facts. For some years there has been be­ fore Congress a proposal for a great monumental bridge across the Potomac at Washington. The, idea is of un­ doubted merit and in due time some such bridge will be built. Congress for various reasons has not yet made the necessary appropriation. One part of this proposed bridge Is a great tri­ umphal arch, which the Washington committee suggests be built by popular subscription as a memorial to Presi­ dent McKinley. Tnis movement is not in any sense antagonistic to the proposition to erect a monument to the late president at Canton. President McKinley recom­ mended that Congress construct the bridge across the Potomac, connecting Washington with Arlington, as "a monument to American patriotism," and without doubt the construction of the bridge and memorial arch will be authorized by Congress. WHERE CARROLL DIED. iiJoe Carroll mansion, one of the fa­ ttens old landmarks of Baltimore, is about to be sold at auction. It was in this building hat Charles Jarroll, of Carroll to n, the last sur­ viving sign­ er of the Declarati o n of Independ­ ence, died N o v e mber 14, 1882. The house was built about 1 7 7 0 b y Richard Ca- tan, Charles Carroll's son-in-law, from bricks brought from England for the purpose. This historic structure, in whose rooms the flower of colonial so­ ciety once gathered, is now a tenement house, the abode of Russian Jews. Persons, Placet and Things SCENE OF RESURRECTION. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem was recently the scene of another bloody riot between the par­ tisans of the Greek and the Roman communions. A number of Franciscan priests and a party of Greek priests quarreled over the right to sweep a certain part of the floor of the church • CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPUlr CHER, JERUSALEM. and a sanguinary battle ensued be­ tween the fathers. Five of the Fran­ ciscans were seriously injured. The Turkish guard which regularly keeps the pe!ace between the Christians in this church was overpowered and dis­ armed. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher was originally built after the visit ol Empress Helena to Jerusalem. It is supposed to mark the spot where the body of Jesus lay for three days in the tomb. It is an ugly building of mixed architecture, surrounded by a heavy dome. Many relics, supposed to have been connected with the crucifixion, are preserved in the building, and the place Is one of the most interesting sights In Palestine. The Latin and Greek Catholics early began their quarrels over the right to use the church. A Turkish guard has been maintained there for years to keep the peace. A CHUROH IN A TREE. Next to the giants of the Yosemite Valley, California, the largest trees in the world are found In Australia. Of these, a species of the eucalyptus, lo­ cally known as the "red gum-tree," takes the lead. One of these giant MB. A TREE-TRUNK AS A CHURCH, trees in Gippsland, Victoria, was felled at a distance of twenty feet from the ground. The wood of these trees is very Boft when growing, and when newly cut down, but hardens when it is dead. In this tree, while the wood was still soft, the stump was hollowed out, openings for doors and windows were cut, and a roof was placed upon ltr In this way a room was formed, said to be twenty-five feet in breadth, and capable of accommoda­ ting fifty people. Religious services have frequently been held there, the people for miles around assembling out of curiosity; but this curiosity has led to blessing, and & moTemsnt is now on foot for erecting a substantial church. H»d an Tntcroaaaor. The Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman recent­ ly told of one of his friends who was a boyhood companion of Robert Lincoln. He entered the Civil War and went to the front. When Robert Lincoln found that he was a private soldier, he said to a friend, "Write, and tell him to write to me, and I will inter­ cede with father, and get him some­ thing better." The young soldier said: "I never took advantage of the offer, but you do not know what a comfort it was to me. Often after a weary march I would throw myself on the ground and say, 'If it becomes beyond human endurance, I can write to Bob Lincoln and get relief; and I would rather" have his Intercession than that of the Cabinet, because he is a son." Rockefeller*! Wow. Wealth does net always have its own way but meets with humiliating de­ feats. The Standard Oil e o m p « n y may be able to elect leg­ islatures, but i t s h e a d cannot elect a little high­ way commis­ sioner. The income o f Mr. John D. R o ckefeller from the oil company alone will amount to |16,- 000,000 this year. How much he will receive from other Investments is not known, and yet with all this money he cannot sway to his will the voters of one small Westchester county town. This is the drop of wormwood in his cup which takes all the sweetness out ol the honey it contains. This was forcibly illustrated at the recent elec­ tion when the man he opposed with all hla might was triumphantly re-elected. Terrible Greek Fir*. Chemistry holds many secrets, some of which, when they are discovered, will not be found out for the first time Among these is the substance which formed such a terribly effective weapon against fleets hostile to the Greeks and which was known as Greek fire. Noth­ ing known at the present time will do what the substance was reported to do, namely, set fire to ships when brought into contact with water.
