The Real Friends of Chinamen.

Tlio simple truth is that on every possible occasion the present administration has proved if self the friend of China, and opposed toThe California view of tho question. If any proof were needed, take tho refusal of the house ou Monday to -take-up-fire exclusion bill for which ’Belmont and Morrow - are working-. A bare hint from the Democratic dictator would liavo sufficed to put the bill on its passage, but no such hint came. Why not? Because Cleveland knows that the hill, if passed, would stop up the gaps which the treaty has left, and because ho values tho friendship of Chang Yen Hoon more highly than ho does that of the Pacific coast. When. Californians are looking around for friends to China let them bear these things in mind.—San Francisco Chronicle.
