The present condition of the business of the Federal courts upon the Pacific coast is scarcely less unsatisfactory on account of the Chinese restrictive laws than it would be with a determined effort upon the part of the Government to enforce the Geary law. * The dockets of the courts are already crowded with applications for habeas corpus by Chinese seeking to enter the United States. and by litigation growing out of the restrictive laws. The truth is. the Chinese question is a question which can not be avoided or trifled with. We must abandon the effort to restrict the coming of Chinese laborers to this country. and admit to the world that we are not able to keep undesirable immigration outof the country. or we must make the necessary provision for the enforcementof our laws.
