The Supreme Court has decided that in no event and under no existing legislation can the Chinese at any stage in the proceeding.whether initiative or as they go on or finally. bebrought within the protection of the judiciary. I have no doubt that it was the general opinion of the profession when the act of 1892 was passed that somewhere in the course of the proceedings the judiciary could lawfully intervene. as it now seems it can not. Hence I am anxious to see this legislation changed in some way so that if immigration from China to this country is to cease (and I confess it seems to me very desirable that it shall) this country shall not scandalize and disgrace itself by such political. arbitrary. and administrative processes as this legislation has been held to warrant. If a Chinese can be deported. any other aliens can be deported. coming here under the sanction of whatever treaty. however liberal. The country was greatly excited two years ago by the performances of the Mafia at New Orleans. and it was charged and believed that a secret society dedicated to assassination was in our midst. Its members were aliens.
