Messy AND CHISG-FoOw The children OF Chinese
citizens will have the entry OF the public schools on
the same footing as white children. Any one
who is not blind can see that the hrst ninety words
of Article work miracle which shames the most
dazzling achievements Ofhim of the wonderful lamp
am speaking as if believed the Cinnamon would
hasten to take out naturalization papers under TINS
treaty and become citizens do believe IL. Ihey
are shrewd and smart, and quick TO see an ahVant-
age that is one argument If they have any scru-
pies about becoming citizens the politicians who
need their votes will soon change their opinions Ar
ticle does not confer citizenship upon Chinamen,-
we have other laws which regulate that matter. Ii
simply gives them the privileges ana lmmunltleS per
filming TO residence" in the same degree ms they
are enjoyed by the subjects of the most favored ma

becoming full citizens after that residence has been
extended to the legal and customary period. MT
Cushing saws the Cinnamon had right 10 become Gift
seRs before article framed They certainly have
| it now. Prominent Senators refused to touch the
treaty or have anything TODD with II unless IT threw
the doors of citizenship open as freely TO Cinnamon
as to other foreigners. The entire Senate knew the
broadcast meaning of Article Sand voted for IT. The
closing sentence of it added to please certain
Senator and then he satisfied and supported
the treaty with all his might 1t was gratitcaton
to him to have that sentence added and Inasmuch
the sentence could do no har since IL ao mean
anything whatever under the sun, 1t was gratefully
and cheerfully added. 1t cOud not have been added
to please worther man. II sets of the treaty, too
because it is gracefully wOrded and Is so essell-
/ fiall III
and supports the grand edifce OF the Chinese treaty
even as wreath of stucco elDbelllshes and supports
a stately temple. 1t would hardly be worth while
for treaty to confer naturalization in the last clause
of an article wherein it had already provided for the
requirement of naturalization by the proper and
usual course. The. idea Of making negroes eti-
zens of the United States was startling
and disagreeable to me, bat Ihaye become reconced
TO it; and being reconciled to IT. and the ice being
broken and the principle established am ready now
| for all corners. The idea of seeing Chinaman
citizen of the United States would have been almost
! live through ii now Maybe 1T will be well to say
what sort of people these prospective voters are.
There are $1,000 of them the Pacific coast at large,
and IS 900 10000 in San Francisco. They occupy
quarter Just out of the business center Of the CITY
they worship hideous idol in q gorgeous temple
They have tbeater where the orchestra SIT on the
stage drinking occasionally and deaening the
public with ceaseless din of gongs, cymbals, and
ddles with two strings, whose harm0nies are capa;
bic of inficting exquisite torture Their theatrical
dresses are muchfner and more costly than those IN
the Black Crook and the immortality OF their plays
/ Is fully up TO the BACK CROOK Standard. CohSe-
| quently they are refined people. Their prominent
instinct being just like ours let us extend the right
hand of fellowship to them across the Some of
the men gamble and the standing of the women is not
good The Chinese streets of San Francisco crowded
with shops aud stalls mostly, but there are many
Chinese merchant princes who do business on large
scale. The remittances of coin to China amount to
half a million a month. Cinnamon work hard, and
with treless perseverance, other foreigners get out
of work. and labor exchanges must look out for
| them Cinnamon look ont for theInsel IVES and are
never idle a week at a time; they make excellent
cooks washers irOners and house servants; they are
