Show TRUE TO HIHSE1F He is fast getting there and if we are not mistaken he will carry his party along with him A special telegram from Washington in this issue of THE HERALD will let the reader know that by he we mean President Presi-dent HARRISON and by there wo refer 10 his position on the Chinese question When in the Senate HARRISON voted against all the antiChinese bills and this fact was urged against him in tho Chicago convention conven-tion and during the campaign The general was discreetly silent on the subject sub-ject permitting his friends and party organs to make whatever denials they thought proper Now that he is President he has more courage and there comes an intimation that as head of the naj ion he entertains the same opinions that ho held as Senator when he did his utmost to prevent the keeping out of the Mongolians Our special says that Senator HOAR will probably be sent to China as American minister the choice falling on him because he has uniformly been tho friend of the heathen and opposed to the latters exclusion exclu-sion from our shores It is thought that HOARS appointment will be pleasing to the Chinese who will regard it as an indication that America is sorry for what it has done and will be glad te get back in the good graces of the almondeyed empire THE HERALD is not going to find fault with the President for his position on the Chinese question On the contrary we have always believed he was nearer right than either of the political parties both of which were dictated to aud controlled by the mob in all the antiChinese legislation Some of the most unAmerican and ugliest legislation in the books is that relating to the Chinese and both parties aro equally responsible for it We hope that President HARRIsON will do his utmost to wipe out the stain which this legislation has put upon the home for the oppressed of all nations but if ho docs how will he and his party stand with reference to tho late campaign |
