The Chinese in the United states.

The ever-present Chinese pique our curiosity.
We must look into their homeS-compact, simple,
yet not over-clean or sweet-smelling quarters
into their restaurants and their theatre if it is
in operation, and into their ''jos houses" !"
Their stores invite US with open doors, and
tempt our pockets with all the various speciali-
ties of Chinese manufacture at reasonable prices
few are men Of stature and presence with faces
OF refinement and gentle strength the many go
sneaking about their work-a low type of man
kind, physically and mentally, imported here like
merchandise, and let out to labor under sys-
TEN only half removed from slavery itself. Yet
they are an important element in the industry
and progress of all this side of the continent.
Bat for their labor the Pacific railroad would have
been at least two years longer in building.
Twelve thousand of them have done nearly all
the picking and drilling and shoyel!ng and
wheeling OF the road from Sacramento to Salt
Lake. They furnish the principal labor in
the factories; they make cigars; they dig
and work over neglected gold gulches; they
cooks; they almost monopolize the clothes
washing and ironing; il all the lighter and
simpler departments of labor, where fidelity to
pattern, and not Gexibili,y and originality OF
action, are required, they make the best and
most reliable of workers. At least $1,000 OF
them are scattered over these Pacific States, west
OF Utah and though orr American and Eu-
ropean laborers quarrel with and abuse them
though the law gives them no rights but that CT
suffering punishment; though they bring
families, and seek no citizenship; though ali
their women here are not only commercial, but
expressly imported such though they are
mean and contemplate in their vices as in their
manners; though they are dispised and kicked
about on every hand sill they come and thrive,
and slowly better their physical and moral and
mental conditions, and supply this country with
what i: most needs for its growth and prosperity
cheap labor. What Shall we do with them is
not quite clear YETI how they are to rank, So
clally and politically, among US, is one of the
nuts tor our social science students to crack, if
they can; but now tha: we have depopulated
Ireland, and Germany is holding to its own,
and the old sources Of our labor supply drying
up, all America needs them; and obeying the
| great natural law of demand and supply, Asia
seems almost certain to pour upon and over US
countless thousands Of her superfluous, cheap
living, slow-changing, unassmilating, but very
useful laborers. And we shall welcome and then
quarrel over and with them, as we have done
with their Irish predecessors. Our vast grain,
cotton and fruit fields, our extending system of
public works, our multiplying manufactures, all
need and can employ them. But must they vote !;

The Secretary of the Treasury gives US some
Interesting figures concerning the condition of
the public debt, as affected by the receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year. The expendi-
lures cannot be fairly estimated yet. Wells
thought they would be $50, coo, 900 less than
the receipts; McCuloch put the difference at
$50 ,ooo,ooo It now thought that the receipts

expenditures. At this rate of retrcnchment
who will say that we are not rapidly wiping out
the national debt by the economy practiced by

The New York Erening Posi-, the champion of
free trade has an editorial article on the future
of the Republican party, in which it takes the
ground that the mission of that organization was
not finished with the extinction of slavery. 1t
proceeds to demonstrate that every page of its
record shows it to be the enemy Of special priv
ilege, consequently it is the enemy of tariff,
and must be the party of free trade. This is so
equally well qualified to speak for the Republi-
can party with the Post, and declares that that
party is the friend of the workingman and me-
.chanc, and is therefore, the party of protection.
Who shall decide when these eminent doctors
disagree?

the work of the Quakers will be greatly simpli-

reservations set apart for them, and those who
may go outside of these are to be dealt with by
the military authorities. The Quake-s will,
therefore, only have to look after those within

Producing among them the arts of peace and civ
