cause there was no provision in the Bill for
I trs4nsit acrfl!.s tilt. United States of Chinese
j subjects residing in foreign countries,
j The following extracts and abstract con
I tain the substance of the President's
message :
" To the Sen it- : After careful consideration
! of the Senate ! i . Xo. 71, entitled. 'An Act
i to execute eei ;.vutr stipulations relating to
j the Chinese," 1 herewith return it to the Senate,
i in which it o, iia.Ued, with my objection to its
! passu ge.
" A nation is ju.-tiried iu repudiating its treaty
j obligations oi.iy when they are iu conflict with
a great and p nauiount interest. Even then all
I possible ami reasonable means for modifying
! or changing these obligations, bv mutual agree
;
ment, should be exhausted before resorting to
he supreme riht of refusal to comply with
i them. These rules have governed the United
i States in their past intercourse with other l'ow
I ers, us themselves one of the family of nations,
j I am persuaded that when Congress can feel that
; this Act violates the faith of the nation as
j pledged to China, it will' concur with this view,
and will endeavor to tiud another Act which
j shall meet the expectations of the people of the
! United States without coming in contact with the
j rights of China.
! "The present treaty relations between that
j l'ower aud the United States spring from the
antagonism which arose between our paramount
t domestic interests and our previous relations
under the treaty commonly known as the IJnr
liugume Treaty. This conferred upon the Chi
nese subjects the right of voluntary immigra
tion to the United States for the purpose of
curiosity or trade, or as permanent residents,
and was in all respects reciprocal as to citizens
of the United Slates in China. It gave to
voluntary immigrants coming to the United
States the right to travel there, or to reside there,
with all the privileges, immunities or exemptions
enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most
favored nations.
" Under tha operation of this treaty it was
found that the institutions of the United States
and its people, and their means of obtaining a
livelihood, might be seriously affected by the un
restricted introduction of Chinese labor. Con
gress attempted to alleviate the condition by
legislation, but the Act which it passed proved
to be in violation of the treaty obligations, and
being returned by the President with his objec
tions, failed to become a law. Diplomatic relief
was then sought. A new treaty was concluded
with China, without abrogation of the Burlin
gr.me Treat. It was agreed to modify it so far
that the Government of the United States might
regulate or suspend the coming of Chinese la
borers to the United States, or their residence
therein, but it was ngreed that it should not ab
solutely prohibit them, and that the limitation
or suspension should be reasonable, and should
apply only to Chinese who might go to the
United States as laborers, other classes not be
ing included iu the limitation.
" This treaty is international, not reciprocal.
It is a coi.c.""ssion from China to the United
States, and is a limitation of the rights which
she was enjoving under the Burlingame Treaty.
! It leaves the United States, by its own act, to
determine when and how we will enforce these
limitations. China maj therefore, fairly have
the liyht to expect that in enforcing them we
will take good care not to overstep this grant
and take more than has been conceded to us.''
The President goes 6n to say that the Act, while
reciting the opinion that ' the coming of Chinese
laborers to this country endangers the good
j order of certain localities thereof," is itself much
j broader than the recital," and " acts upon resi
j dents as well as immigrants." Its provisions
i also are not framed for "certain localities," but
j are to be operative throughout the United States.
lie goes on to say : I think it may fairly be
accepted as an expression of the opinion oi t on
gross that the coming of such laborers to the
United Suites, or their residence here, affects
our interests and endangers good order through
out the country. On this point 1 feel it my duty
to accept the views of Congress.
"The first article further confers the power
upon this Government to regulate, limit, or
suspend, but not to actually promuit tne coming
. v 1 i - - 1 " il
of stu-li laborers to or their resilience in the
United States. The negotiators of the treaty
have recorded with unusual fuluess their under
standing of the sense and meaning with which
these words were used, as to the class of persons
to he affected ly the treaty. The Americans in
serted in their draft p.ovisions that the words
44 Chinese laborers " should signify all immigra
tion other than that for teaching, trade, travel,
study and curiosity. The Chiuese objected to
this, that it operated to include artisans iu the
class of laborers whose immigration miht be
forbidden. The Americans replied that they
could not consent that artisans should be ex
eluded from the class of Chinese laborers, for it
is their very competition of skill and labor in
cities, where the Chinese labor immigration con
centrates, which has caused the embarassment
and pupnlar discontent.
The examination which I have made of the
treaty and of the declaration which its negotia
tors have left on record of the meaning of its
language, leaves no donbt in my mind that
neither of the contracting parties, iu concluding
the Treaty of l.SsU, contemplated the passage of
an Act prohibiting immigration for twenty years,
which is nearly a generation, or thought that
such a period would be a reasonable suspension,
or intended to change the provisions of the Bur
lingame Treaty to that extent.
" I regard this provision of the act as a breach
of our national faith, and being unable to bring
myself in harmony with, the views of Congress
oii the vital point, the honor of the country con
strains me to return the Act with this objection
to its passage.
' Deeply convinced of the necessity of some
legislation" on this subject, and concurring fully
with Congress in many of the objects which are
sought to be accomplished, I will avail myself of
th? opportunity to point out some ether features
of the Act which, in my opinion, can be molli
fied to advantage."
lie then points out that there are classes of
Chinese who now enjoy the privileges of the still
unabrogated Burlingame Treaty, inferring that
these should be excluded from the operation of
the Act. lie shows the difficulties attendant on
the enforcement of the passport system, but
adds that, if that system is deemed necessary, it
is still undesirable and unnecessary to cause 'the
Chinese entitled to the protection of the Bur
lingame Treaty " to register themselves. He
refers to the absence of provision for the transit
of Chinese across United States territory to
which his attention had been called by the Chi
nese Ambassador. He then proceeds as follows:
" T hive said that ?ood faith requires that the
United States suspend immigration of Chinese.
laborers for a less period than twenty years, x
now add that good policy points in the same di
rection. Our intercourse with China is of re
cent date. Our first treaty with that power is
not yet fortv years old. It is only since we ac
quired California and established a great seat of
commerce on the Pacific coast that we may be

them. Tbe time has uow come when it is sup
plied that they are not needed and whn it is
thonJ.t by Congress and by those most ho
4Uutcil uith the subject that it is best to try t-
t,-fct aieug withont theui. There may, however,
be other set tious of the country where this spe
cies of h.bor may Ve !ulvauts;"eonsly eiuploycJ
withof.t interienng with laborers of our own
race. It may be the p:.rt of wisdom, as of t;oo,l
faith, to rix the h lu-th of the eljv. riliietitai j t ii.-vl
with reference to this fact.
L;..rietue has shown that the tr..dc of the j
East is the k-y to n itioii.tl wealth and iiitlnt iue. I
The opt liiu of China to the commerce of the
world has benefitted no section of it more than i
the States on onr own Pacific slope. The State j
ot Caliiorma and its maritime ports especially,
have reaped enormons advantages from this
source. Blessed with an exceptional climate, eu-
; joying an unrivaled h.irbor. with the riches of
the cree.t agricultural and mining States near it.
and the wea'th of the whole Uaioa pouring into
it over its lines of railwuy, .San Francisco his an
incalculable future, if our friend y and amicable
relations with Asia remain nndisturbetl. It ueetls
; no argument to show that the policy which we
i now itmrvtci ts a.lnnt l.i- Ax.,t
j dellcy to repel the Oriental nations from the
i United States, aud to thrive their trade and com-
uierce into more friciadlv hands.
" It may be that the great and paramount iu
texsts of the protection of our lalor from Asiatic
competition justifies us in the permanent adop
tion of this policy ; but it is wiser in the first
place to make a shorter experiment with a view
of hereafter maintaining permanently only such
features as time and experience may commend.
" I transmit herewith copies of papers relating
to the recent treaty, with the accompanying con
fidential message of President Hayes to the Sen
ate on the 10th of January, 1SS1, aud atso a copy
of th memorandum respecting the Act herewith
returnee!, which was handed to the Secretary of
State by the Chinese Minister in Washington.
Signed Chkster A. Arthck.
Washington (D. C), April 4, 1SS."
Naturally, the veto on this Dill has caused
a great senation In the United States and
especially on the Pacific Coast. The East
ern papers almost all approve the Presi
dent's conduct in the West the disatisfae
tion is so great, and the disappointment fol
lowing on the jubilation caused by the
passage of the Bill through Congress so
bitter, that the incontrovertible points made
against the Bill iu the message to the Sen
ate appear to be looked upon as mere idle
talk. A wide-spread agitation was imme
diately commenced in the States on the Pa
cific slope, and a convention to devise the
measures next to be taken was about to be
called. The question of passing the Bill
over the President's veto was put iu the
Senate on April 5th, when the vote was
" ayes, 29 ; noes, 21." The required two
thirds majority not being secured the de
feat of the measure thus became complete.
The Public Health.
(From the San Francisco Aetrt Letter.)
The public mind is greatly more exercise d by
the veto of the Chinese bill than it is bv the
loss of six hundred lives bv preventable disease
We may surely anticipate a score or so of public
meetings to denounce the action of the Presi
dent, but none will be held to arraign the Super
visors or question the actien of the Board of
Health. The fact is that, while all American
citizene have been educated to take a deep inter
est in political questions, nothing has been done
to teach them the economy of health. And yet
the competition of the Chinese is neither more
keen nor more fatal than the fight with death.
The one cuts down the income of the family just
as surely as the other perhaps more so. Think
for a moment of the tax inflicted upon the labor
ing family by a case of typhoid fever. The doc
tor's bill, the nurse and laundryman, the medi
cines and costly foods, to say nothing of the
loss of services and anxiety of mind. What is
Chinese competition to the household which has
lost the father from pneumonia or the mother
from puerperal septicoeuna, induced by a poi-
mtoned drain ? The cost of the extra funerals
this year has already passed a huudred thousand
dollars, to say nothing of the cost of mourning.
On this score alone the city tax for preventable
mortality is at the rate of half a million yearly,
or more than snmcient to put tne sewers in a
safe condition. Unhappily, however, no one
considers the economy of health. Death has
been so habitually regarded as inevitable that
no extra or unnecessary mortality is likely to
arouse the people to the extent of their suffering
and loss, or to make them take a lively interest
in the reform of sauitary administration. And
yet the mortality returns of the past three
months are enough to startle; the most apathetic
from their sanitary lethargy. The death rate is
nearly sixty per cent, higher than it was last
year. Sixteen hundred and ninety-one persons
have already died. The annual death rate is
28.88 per thousand, or nearly tlouble what it
should be. It is no exaggeration to affirm that
nearly 600 persous have this j'ear been murdered
ly preventable disease.
It is not Chinese competition nor the poverty
of the people. It is not the badness of their
dwellings, nor want of clothes and warmth. It
is neither the qualit3" nor insufficiency of food.
It is not the rigor of the winter, nor the vicis
situdes of the season. None of these have
cansed the appalling result ; but simply the ig
norance of the people on sanitary questions.
This ignorance is reflected in the laws and gov
ernment in the Board of Supervisors, in the
habits and customs of the people If the culti
vation of physical health formed a part of edu
cation, and was put on an equal footing with
intellectual education, no laudlord would dare to
make a house drain without proper ventilation.
No Supervisor would dam to make sewers with
out sufficient fall and proper outlet, and the
Coroner would be ordered to hold an inquest in
cases of death from typhoid fever, in oreler to
fix the guilt upon the murderers. Xo better
evidence could be afforded of official ignorance
aud incapacity than the resolution of the Super
visors requesting the advice and opinion of the
Academy of Sciences. Have they not already a
Board of Health, whose duty it is to assist them
in this strait ? Why not refer the matter to
them ? Why not defer to their opinion and
carry out their wishes ? We fear the Board in
question does not possess the confidence either
of the Supervisors tr 'the public. It is, iu fact,
a clique without influence or power. It exer
cises a little mild patronage in the interests of
the predominating party, but it is powerless to
reform the sanitary administration of the city,
or remove the monstrous evils which have been
created under the existing charter. The appeal
to the Academy would be a laughable, were it
not a lamentable, evidence of sanitary ignorance.
The learned Academicians are requested to sug
gest some way to remedy the escape of sewer
gases. Just what is not required. The problem
is not how to remedy, but how to facilitate the
et'-ape of sewer gases. If the Supervisors had
ever seen a sewer, they ought to have found out
that it is by necessity a channel for the trans
portation of foul water; that no sewer can exist
without sewer gases. Not all the Academicians
of San Francisco can prevent the formation of
sewer gases, but they will render a great public
service if they will teach the Supervisors the
importance of sewer ventilation, whereby the
evil may be reduced as much as possible.
But the Academy can confer upon the com
munity a still greater boon. Let the committee
appointed to consider this question put sanitary
science in the very first place in the future
operations of the Academy. At the present mo
ment it is the subject of paramount interest of
which the public are profoundly ignorant. Let
geology, etymology, astronomy and other com
paratively useless subjects give place for a time
to sanitary science. The Academy has recently
received a noble gift. But the stuffed animals
and the fossils of the past will not save a single
life. They contribute much to the intellectual
cultivation of the citizens, but they will not
teach any one how to live safely in an unwhole
some neighborhood. Surely some millionaire
mi"ht be induced to pay a lecturer to discourse
on the gcspel of cleanliness and health. Let
the Academy invite an exhibition of sanitary ap
pliances, and diffuse information with respect to
the precautions against impure air, impure
water and adulterated food. Let it be shown
that the most practical science of humanity is
the knowledge how to live, and that this eve-ry-dav
business is not beneath the attention of
scientific men.
Once again do we repeat that sanitary reform
must come from the people themselves. With
out the wide diffusion of sauitary information
charters are useless and laws will fail. Th
Nuisance Inspector is powerless where he acts
in direct opposition to the wishes and habits of
the people. The evil he remedies is created as
soon as his back is turned. Let the Academy
report that sanitary knowledge ia the best scav
enger and the best remedy even for sewer gas.
