from everything that bears the taint OF

discrimination. The mote In the eye OF
Chicago Just now which excltes the at.
tentlon OF other cities, Is that Chicago
has brought out the beauties OF two
Chinese merchants and has entertained
them In a very becoming style. The
following extracts are taken from the
New York evening papers OF Tuesday !:

years he has spent here. He has gath

local papers thinks at must be about
as much OF bore to be a Chinaman In
Chicago, as 1t would 10 be a kangaroo

II seems, too, that the speech OF Choy
Chew, hattering as 1t was to the Lake
CITY, failed to cover the case. Accord
inglly, the Chicago journals are sup.
plying dehciencies. One OF them says:
1.-THE Chinese visitors express them.
selves highly delighted with Chicago
and her people. Words almost failed
the industry OF local reporters shows
that Choy Chew's words quite failed
TO express their enthusiasm at the en-
ergy and business enterprise OF the
city, This will do very well for those
who think that these celestial visitors
come from the moon, and not from
China. But Sing Nun and Choy Chew
have seen Canton, which Is nearly as
large as ten Ohicagos; they have come
from San Francisco, which Is energetic,
and have passed through 81. Louis,
which Is busy. But further, says the
report: "They expressed their belief of
the probability ofa great trade between
Chicago and China especially In the
line OF teas"
$50 that all this tempest Is only In a
tsa-pot, and as tea seems TO be chief
among the ''grounds'' for presumed
connection between Chicago and China,
Il would be well for Chicago to "draw
1t mild" The Pacific railway will do
much, but not everything. When the
Central railway was opened In this
State, Schenectady did not talk about
direct trade between New York and
Schenectady. It was remembered that
Albany and Buffalo were on the line.
Direct trade between Chicago and China
