And it would seem that the legislative body under our present ruler is a superfluous adjunct of government. It matters not that monarchs have lost their heads for less cause. for it is well known a Democratic ruler is above the law. As early as May 5. when the present Administration had been hardly two months upon the throne. the act of May 5. 1892. known as the Chinese exclusion act. was nullified and utterly defied. and up to the present time no attempt has been made to enforce it. This is a subject with which I propose to deal hereafter. but in the present condition of our country I am too patriotic a citizen to intrude even the criticism of this disregard of law. But to bring us here at this hour to repeal the Sherman law is the merest folly and has about it a tinge of humor which provokes a smile upon the face of us all.
