Eut we do kiek w* en we see tbe goverument| plucing itself in such au abject j jios.tio;i as it lias done by calling in to «ts cuuucils the polilieal bosses of polilieal cliqaes. If the government is so weak thut it 1 1 ;• sto consider the opiuion or accept the help of its petty employee; in tho Custom House or elsewbere, it is abont time tbat it ubdic..ied unJ mude room for a covernment witb sufficieut back bone aud enough manbood to do wli.it is rigl»t. becuuse it is and not be eusily le<i by tbe nose by i» lot of sandlotters aml blutberskites who don’t araount to u fig .n the eyes of tlie commanity. The d<*libenite suub to t!ie Advisory Coancil bv consulting the electe»l deleg »tes to tlie conven- \ tion is \vorthy of notice. It shows the Co mcillors that (heir vote is considored solid with the execative und thut all that is uew needed is to couciliate the new membnrs and thereby makiug a| show of barmony in tbe convention. The Jupanese wII vote. and, throngh the powerfn! in llueiiee of the bosses, the club, tlie leigue, the verein and the othcr p »lit cal organizatioi;s wiil aiako a ch;»nge o£ front aml upphiul tiie granting of the frauch se to all and every J.»p amseia the cōantiy. And we «*xpect to see deputitions both frora tlie leagae aml the club and from the Councils at the quar«ntiue station upon the arrival of the Miike Muru with 1000 more “voters” h »iling them as friends and brotbers —and askiug £or tlioir JWte. In tbo meani.me we eall the ;<tt *ntiou of tlie government to tho fuc*t thut the Ciiiuese are uoi as!eep and th it they will be heard from in a verv emphatic mr.uner. lt will be well to lc.*»ll Robertson, McStocker and company iuto consu!t ution over that m »tter.
