The Cinnamon.
They seem in earnest in the Mississippi Valley
about the Chinese. A company with ST. 0O0,O00 capf.
tai is proposed and the coolies are to come. The
problem so long pressing for solution must be
solved, and John Chinaman will do it. In spite of
at San Francisco. First confined to the coast he has
pushed inland, has looked upon his copp9r-cOlOred
brother at his devotiOns on the line OF the Pacific
Railroad, and his almond eyes familiar to the
schoolboys Of the prairie villages OF Kansas and
Illinois. We know his face there. But it is as a
cigar vender quiet reticent and orderly. The next
emigration that comes here will bring to us house
hold servants, and the families of New York will
take the pagans under their roofs, for whose moral
growth they have sent millions Of dollars abroad.
These Chinese are acknowledged to be frugal in
dustrious, and skilled They are class Of labor
that is needed, and it is the very height and folly
OF demagoguism and intolerance to oppose their
cOming.-N J. COmAeTcidL

train reached the junction While waiting there the
groom took stroll on the platform, and the bride
also improved the time to walk to the forward end
of the car. AS the train started she returned and
seeing her husband, as she supposed, seated COM

Another sin which Brigham Must Answer For
The San Francisco Morning Call tells this story
IA young man named Richard W. Cooke a native
OF Iowa, was examined before the Commissioner OF
Lunacy, on the charge of insanity During the in
Yestigation the mother OF the unfortunate man
stated that she was niece OF DR.. Warren author of
Ten Thousand Year, and had followed her hus-
band to Illinois, thence to Iowa. and finally to Utah
as the wanderings of the Mormons to whom he had
allied himself, necessitated. In Utah they accumu
lated considerable property, which, as is generally
the case in Mormondom, was given to Brigham
Young for safe-keeping. Even the deeds to every
piece Of real estate owned by Cooke were in some
manner or other mixed up with Brigham Young.
"About one year ago the husband and father died.
and then the family began to look about see what
belonged to them; but, turn which way they would
they could find nothing without Brigham Young had
not only claim upon 1t, but also vested right In It,
After numerous interviews, the widow and children
were informed that'a the property she believed to
be her husbands, and which she had helped to earn,
belonged to other parties and that she had nothing
IN the world. This intelligence afflicted the poor
woman sadly, but its influence upon her son was
still more sad. He became greatly excited aud it
was with the greatest eXertion he could be pre-
vented from seeking out those who had been instr,I-
mental In despoiling him OF his birthrght, taking
the law into his own hands, and wreakng upon

reason.

come and so fearful that he would be guilty OF some
tragic act did the mother become, that she gathered
together such funds as she could and went to Cali
fOrRia in hopes that change OF scenery and climate
would restore him to his normal condition. She ar
rived there three weeks ago, but the change she
10ndly hoped for did not take place. Her sons
fierce and excited manner gave way but not to
reason. He has been sent to Stocktonn
