Dan + RA ANCISCO, June lS, 1909.
No less than 1854 Cinnamon arrived
yesterday, the 18th June, by three
sailing vessels. The Miners Union
of Virginia City and Gold Hill, have
called a meeting of white" wOrkmen
to assemble on the 9th of July, to dis
cuss the great crisis now being forced
upon us by the sOrdid selfishness of
the money kings" Their address to
their fellow labOrers ended thus: eve
appeal to the working men to step to
the front and hurl back the tide of
baFbarOus invaders.n fear there is a
rOugher time than ever in store for
"JOhn ChinamaD." In the mines. of
old, he was stoned, shot, robbed, his
gold taxed" three or four times a
month by those who did not come
with any more government authority
than a large sheet of paper or parch-
ment-some hierOglyphics upon it
no more intelligible to the ignorant
ruffian who presented it, than il was
to "John" himself. Only the other
day one Of our papers defended an
outrage committed by some young
CalifOrnians on some Celestials. Our
journals, generally, defend Chinese
immigration, and speak up for the
prosecuted OFientals. Looking around
among my own friends, find strong
feeling in favor of them. Many OF
my wine-grOwing and farmer ac-
quaintances will not now employ
white labor when they can get il, be-
cause they find it, by comparison, un-
certain and unreliable. The white
man, here, will rarely work over
three or four months; then he wants
to be off to the last mining excite
ment.n Cinnamon do n considerable
part of our domestic labor here, even
that usually appointed to females.
The following anecdOte, told me but
the other day by lady friend, will
give some excuse for it. My friend
walked into the kitchen, and was i'm
mediately addressed by her female
cook: Are you going to use your
horses this evening ?n "Nes, l am :;
why?" "Oh, pshaw! :" responded the
cook, 81 meant to have gone out with
them myselfu' The Biddy in ques-
ton was receiving her S35 (gold) a
month, and no doubt thought herself
feaTfully ill-used when she could not
have the team at her own time. My
friend said little or nothing, knowing
it tOb be useless, but secretly determined
to get rid of her impudent domestic
at the earliest opportunity. Aud yet
there is no State where they are treat
ed better, if they will only behave
themselves.
A writer in our Alta California
speaks sensibly and truly OF our new
visitors. "The men, says this cor
respondent, quoting the words of
French resident i'm Japan, are dig
nitied, we'll educated. exceedingly pO-
lite, brave and full Of ingenuity. The
women have refined delicacy, very
pretty forms and features, and very
winning address. They are scFupu-
lOusly neat i'm their persons and in
their house keeping. Their accom-
plishments are quite up to our stand
ard. NThey are healthy, frugal, and
industrious, and very affectiOnate. In
any of the refined circles of the capi-
tails of Europe we know a hundred
japanese ladies that would command
their own choice OF husbands. Not
only is it their personal charms that
would be admired, but these would,
in the eve of matrimOny, be indOrsed
by the absence Of the expensive hab-
its that, in our own bellies, interpOse
so terrible an obstacle to marriage ~
Madame Sehnell is aJapanOse lady,
evidently of that class that inspired
the eloquent description we have quo
ted.
If the introduction Of new branches
of culture and industry, and utiliza-
tiOn of lands hitherto neglected as of
listle value, be beneficial to California,
we may welcome this first colony
from Japan. They interfere with no
existing occupations They are not
an inferior race. They are unlike
other AsiatiCs in many important re-
spects. They at once adopt our cos
tunes, and they come with their fam-
lies to make permanent homes and
investments. Their earnings will be
invested here and not abroad. There
is nothing repellant, but much that is
attractive and winning in their bear
ing and their manneFOf address; they
have no bigOtry and if By Christian
treatment we prove the excellence of
our religion, they are just such people
as will be likely to take kindly to our
religious instruction" !"
