HERE. IS THE LAW OF IT.
The Aotlonrof le Butte City Counoll
Sustained by the Attorney
General.
Zqdne of the Treaty, Artioleg With
the Chinese Have Been
Violated.
A Review of Legistation on the Subject
and Proyvtions of the Ditrerent
Treaties.
Atto ney General Haskell has submitted
a lengthy opinion to Gov. Rtickards in re.
speat to the action of the Butte city council
in requesting all city employee not to
patronize Chinamon, as asked for by
the Bilver Bow Trades and Labor
assembly. The opinion is to the
effect that the councni's action wae perfnotly
proper. Thompson Campbell, of Butte, for
the Six companies, asked Gov. Rickards to
consider whether or not it did not militate
against the treaty obligations of the United
States with China, and the governor sent
all the papers in the case to the attorney
general. The questions submitted to the
attorney general were: First, is the action
of the Butte city council in contravention
with any law of congress or any treaty,
stipulation or obligation of the United
States government with that of China and
the subjects thereof iediding and being
within the United States under said treaty?
Second, does this cnae present such a state
of facts, if true, as will warrant executive
interference in the absence of any com
plaint on the lart of the subjects of the
Chinese government, who are residing
within the jurisdiction of the state of Mon
tana, or a demand for an inquiry by the
department of state of the general govern
ment? The first treaty of any noie that
was entered into between the general gov
ernment and China was one of poice,
amity, and commerce, between the United
States of America and the Ta Tsing empire,
concluded at Wang Hiya on July 8, 1844
and ratified by the president Jan. 17, 1845,
One of the conditions of the treaty was
to the effect that "there shall be a pe:fect.
permanent and universal peace, and a sin
cere and cordial amity, between the United
States of America on the one part, and the
Ta Teitig empire on the other part, and be
tween their people respectively, without ex
ception of persons or places." 'Lo objeet
of the treaty was to open to the citizens of
the United States five Chinese ports and
permit the citizens of the United States to
proceed at pleasure with their vessels and
merchandise to and from any foreign port
to either of the five ports and from either
of the five points to any other of them. At
each of the five ports citizens of the United
Etutes lawfully engaged, n com aere ,,vwere
permitted to import fron theirno y
other port into China,.and s41 hyre, and
purchase therein and eipo arto. hiydr own
or any other ports all meanner of ntsrphan
dise of which the importation a exttation
was not prohibited by the fisahy r).& for
merlimitation of trade 0* *Orrdign'ph one to
certain persons appointed at Canton y the
government, and commonly called hong
merchants, was thereby abolished and oiti
zens of the United States engaged in the
purchase or sale of imports or exports were
by the articles of the treaty admitted to
trade with any and all subjects of China
without distinction, and were not to be
subject to any new limitatione, or impeded
in their business by monopolies or other in
jurious restrictions. At the mlaces of an
chorrge of the vessels of the United Mtates,
merchants. seamen or otuores sojourning
there might pams and raprise in the immedi
ate neighborhood, but they could not at
their pleasure inalte excursions into the
country among the villnes at large, nor
could they repair to publib maria for the
purpose of disposing of goods unlawfully
nd in frand of the revenue.
All citizens of the United States in China,
esceably attending to their affairs. were
laced on a common footing of emity and
ood will with sabjects of China, and were
utitled to receive and enjoy for themselves,
nd everything appertaining to them, the
pedal protection of the local authoritiesof
overnment, who were required to defend
hem from all insult or injury of any sort
n the part of the Chinese. If the citizens
f the United Strtes had special occasion
o address any communication to the Chi
ese loal officer of government, they were
equired to submit the same to their coun
et or other officer to determine if the ian
aage be proper and reenectful, and the
utter just and right, in which event the
ounsel would transmit the same to the ap
ropriate authorities for their considers
ion and action in the premises. And if
ontroversies should arise between citizens
f the United Strtes and subjects of Chinn,
hich could not be nmicably settled other
ise, the nnme should be examined and de
ided conformably to justice and equity by
he public officers of the two nations acting
o coninnction.
Itiwas etipulated that the provisions of the
reaty should not be altered without grave
euse, but inasmuch ns the circumstanoes
f the several ports of China open to for
ign commerce tire different, expeaience
nv show that inconsiderable modillcations
ie requisite in those parts which relate to
ommurce and navigation; in whioh case
he two covernmente will at the expiration
t twelve years from the date of conven
ion treat amicably concerning the same
y the means of suitable persons arnointed
o conduct the negotiation, In 1858, which
as nearly thirteen years after the ratid
ation of the first treaty with China and
wring the administration of President
uchanan, the two governments adopted
ad renewed in ii manner clear and positive
y means of a treaty or general convention
f reace, amity and coutinete, the rules,
bich were in future to be mutually ob
ived in the intercouses of their respective
notries. This treaty wae substituted for
e treaty of 1844 so far n. the provisiona
'lated to identical subjects and had the
ifect of opening additional ports to com
eorce and permitted citizens of the United
tates with their fatuilies to trade therein,
ad to proceed at pleasure with their ves
Is and meachandise from any of the ports
any other of them. Prior to the ndop.
on of this last unmed treaty the veessels
f the United States had not been admitted
trade freely with the ports of China on
equal touting with the veseels of other
untrie. but this treaty had the effeot to
en to the United States all the ports of
hina which were at that time open to for
g n commerce.
Following the rnle laid down in artiole 34
the a eoty of 1814, which provided that
ditional a tioles might be made thereto
ery twelve years, the United States and
e Tn'l icing empire entered into articles
ditional to the treaty of 1858 which were
tifled by the president in 1`188, and which
as known an the tiurlingume treat,. In

either of them. This treaty by its
tiles recognizes the inherent and in
cable right of man the change hisAtamq
d alleginuce, and aleo the mutual dyatit
ge of migration and Immigation of 0181
ns and subjects respectively from th'I one
untry to the other-for the parpose of
ade, or as pa m aont residents. It pro
dad that citizens of the United States
siting or iesiuing in China should enjoy
e sanme privileges, imrunnit s o ezempp
ns in respect to travel or residence as
my there te enjored by the citizens or
bjects of the most favored nation; and
iprosally, Chinese subjects visiting or
siding in the United States shall enjoy
a same privileges, immunities and ex
tions io respect to travel or
idence as may there be enjoyed
by the clitases or subjects of
the most favored nation, but
nothing therein contained should be held
to confer naturalisation upon oltisns of
the United States ip China, nor upon the
subjects of China In the United States, It
further provided that Chinese subjects
shquld enjoy all tariv leges of the public
educational inatsti$ qi under the control
of he government, of, bp United States
wh oh are enjoyed In' the arespective coun
tries by the oltiosue or onbjeatp of the most
favored unation; asd that Chinese enbjects
'maw freely establihb and. maintain schools
within the United States at those pices
whise foreigners are by treaty permitted to
reside,
Under the provigions of the treaty of
1888 as well as those of fo mer treaties,
harries of Chinese laborers who were sub
jects of the Ta Sing government took ad.
vantage of their plenary conditions and
literally poured into the United States,
and not until protect after protest had gone
up from the people against this influx of im
migration, which endapgered the good order
of certain localities within its boundaries,
namely, the Pacftic coast staten and terri
tories, did the government of the United
States by its congress take legislative no
tion thereon, and on May 0, 1882, passed
what was called the Chinese ex
oliqion act. The eot provided that
the coming of Chinese laborers to the
United States be and the sane is hereby
one' ended after the passage of the not and
until the expi ation of ten years next there
after. The not further provided that no
state court or court of the United States
shall admit Chinese to citizenship. This
act was intended to prevent and did have
the force and elfect of preventing Chinese
labo ors from immigratiti into the United
States, and for its conetitutonality de
t ended upon the feat that it was a police
regulation, in this, that the coming of Chi
nese laborers to this country endangered
the good order of certain localities within
the territory thereof. While this not ex
empted from its provisions all Chinese Is
borers who were in the United Statee on
Nov. 17,1880, and as well those wLo came to
the same before the' expiration of ninety
days after the passage of the not, it was in
itself, so far as the United States could
speak through that body, a congressional
declaration that the subjects of the Ta
Taing empire and the Chinese are objec
tionable to the people of the United State.
The people of the United f tates spoke
through congress which was their sovereign
power, and declared in plain and unmis
takable language "that Chinese chean labor
which had taken or obtained so firm a root
in American soil should be unrooted and
transplanted into the soil of its nativity."
It was a declaration that the fittest shall
survive, and a further declaration that
their presence in this country was preju
dicial to, and endangered the good order
of certain localities within the territory
thereof. The act of congress of 1882, and
as amended by the act of 1884, was accepted
and must be understood as ii proscription
against the admission of Chinese subjects
into the United btates by land or water,
and any Chinese person found unlawfully
within the United States shall be caused to
be removed therefrom to the country
whence he came at the cost of the United
States after being brought before some jus
tice or commissioner of a court of the
United States, and found to be one not
lawfully entitled to be or remain in the
United States.
'I he fist step that was taken to p otect
free white labor ngainet competition with
Chinese coolie labor, and discoorage the
immigration of Chinese into the United
States, wirs taken by the miners of Cali
fornia. in 1854 and in 1855 resulted in the
passage of a law in that state which fixed
the r ate of foreign namer's tax at *4 a
month as to all foreigners "eligible to be
come citizens of the United States," and as
to all foreigners "ineligible to become citi
zens of the United States," increased it $2
a month for every snuceasive year, ad in
finitum. The agitation of this question
which was so vital to the people continued,
and their oprosition thereto was made
manifest by further legielatlon ty the leg
islature of California in 1858. by an act en
titled "an act to prevent the further immi
gration of Chinese, or mongolians, to this
state." It made it unlawful after Oct. 1,
1858, for any person of the Chinese or Mon
golian races to enter the state.
The attorney general hode that the ion
nicipality of Burtte', beinre a component part
of thie stte of Moitrna and goterned by
the existing laws of this state, has a no
ordinate right with the state to enforce such
rules and regulations which are not irron
aiitent with the constitution and laws of
the state, to protect auch utunicipelity from
danger of patre:lem, drneer to health,
danger to morals, danr:er to property or
danger to religion. 1le erys the attorney
for tire Chinese companies must concede
that the Chinese are not bona fido residents
in any sense of the word; they will not even
perrmit their bones to have sepulture in
American soil; that this request by the
'trades and Labor union of Butte. even if
incorporated into a rule by the municipal
ity of Butte, would not into. fere with the
"possession" or "enjoyment" of property
by the Chinese or prevent them from en
gaging in trade in common with American
citizens resident therein; that suech a rule
does not confliet with the treaty obliga
tions of the United Statea government with
that of Chint and the subjects thereof re
siding and being within the United States
under ntriri Ceate.
tant these two first prorositions are not
mooted must be conceded from the fact
that the customs and habits of the Chinese
are each as negative the assumption that
they are bona fide rosidents of this state,
says the attorney gener 1; and too, that the
laws of Montana permit foreigners to en
gage in trade on an equal footing with the
citizons thereof; and that this cannot be
regarded in any sense as an inhibition upon
the right of the Chinese to engage in
trade. The treaties that have been entered
into from time to time between the United
States of America and the Ta Teina empire
show nothing more than that they were in
tended fo: the purposes of trade and com
merce between the two countries and for
maintaining permanent and universal
teace between the people of these govern
ments reeroctively.
The so called Burlingame treaty is the
only treaty In existence which purports to
grant to the subjects of the Ta Acing em
pire residing in the United States rights,
privileges and immunities co-equal with
those granted to the citizens of the United
IStater. As to those privileges the treaty
provides that Chinese subjects visiting or
residing in the United States shall enjoy
the same privileges, immunities and ex
emptions in resfect to travel or residence
as may there be enjoyed by the citizens or
subjects of the moat favored nations. 'Ihis
latter paratraph does not, as witl he per
ceived, grant to subjects of the Chinese
emephe residing in the United States the
right to engage in trade or deal In lands
and estates, and the holding of any chiee
the cin is practically Inhibited by pro
scription of the right of naturalization.
To aesovrrate that citizens of the United
States under the articles of either t eaty
have the right to freely engnge ti trade in
any part or portion of the is Tsing ampire
except such as are stecifically enumir ated
in the irticles would be to contend for that
which is not therein written. All that is
not therein delegated isexeluded therefrom.
for that cach treaties are a limitation of
rights rather than ii delegation of prerogn
irves. Tihey carry with them the stamr, of
eutocratic conceseints on the one hand end
monarchical reservations rn the other.

ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE
United States Smelting and Refining
Company Sued for $40,000 Dam
ages to Albert Miller.
Believes He Is Permanently In
jured and That His Life Has
Been Shortened.
An Appropriatlea of $18,000 Available to

A damage suit for $40,000 was fled in
the district court yestei day by It. It. Pur
cell against the United States Smelting
and Rietinig company for Albert Miller.
It is alleged in the complaint that Miller

was his duty to pull and operate a car con
taining ore from the smelting furnace to
the bin in which the ore wae dumped. On
Aug. 2, 1892, the plaintiff was injured. He
says that the defendant allowed the ear and
its springs to become weak and worn out,
the resule being that the car and springs
gave way, and Miller was violently thrown
against the oar and precipitated with great
force into the bin. He claime that the
emelting company had notice of the condi
tion of the car aad neglected to repair it or
take any presantions to prevent injury to
the plaintiff. Miller eays his right leg was
sprained cud broken ina very painful and
complicated manner, and that he suffered
and still sufers great bodily pain and men
tal anguish, and is yet confined to the hos
pital. He believes he is permanently in
jured, and that the natural duration of his
life has been greatly shortened.

New Epring Drees Patterns lit "Rush"
Pr'ees.
Last week Sands Bros. inaugurated a
genuine "surprise sale" of spring dress
patterns, offering very desirable spring dress
patterns At $2 eaah, about one-third less
than actual eastern value. The great sne
ceas of the sale has induced Sands Bros. to
offer a still greater attraction this week in
dress Iatterns at "rush" prieds. They
place on sale to-morrow a very large and
extremely choice aseortment of new spring
and summer, Scotch wool cheviot dress
patterns in greys, tans, greens and change
abler, fancy weaves, stripes, mixtures,
plaids, etc. The very newest effects and
strictly all pure wool at $4.05 per pattern.
These goods are unquesttonably the most
desirable bargains ever offered in Helena.
Ladies who have used Sodtch cheviot. in
Montana know their merits for general
wear. They are soft, loosely woven goods
and do not wrinkle, and the colors are
what are called "dust proof." For travel
ing costumes, no other dress matersal
is as satisfactory as a genuine Scotch chev
iot. In connection with these bargains in
dress goods Sands Bros. mention to-day a
special offering in ladies' cloth capes at $4
each. Colors, navy blue and green. Bands
Bros.' assortment of spring and summer
goods in every department is now complete
in the broadest sense of the word, and the
styles for this season seem more attractive
than formerly, perhaps because light shades
prevail more than dark in all the new sum
mer materials. In addition to the largest
aesortment in all lines yet shown in Mon
tana. Sands Bros. present unprecedented
values throughout their establishment. So
that close buyers can do better to-day in
Helena than in any eastern city. See hisnds
Bros.' "specials" this week.
