RAcEs.-Alluding to an item recently in the
INDEPENDENT relative to the white and Chinese
population in Boise county. Idaho, the Salt
Lake Herald remarks: This looks as if 'Sa-
lem Scudder's aphorism. that where the
white man sets his foot the black man and
the red man must pull up stakes and stand
around. was being reversed to an extent"
We believe that It is generally reversed
with the yellow race. Where the white and
black races come in contact or the white and
red the white speedily SURPRISES the other;
but experience thus far has not shown this to
be the case with the white and Chinese races
in America. Numerically. they have the ad.
vantage. which compeusates for personal in
feriority.

State. The fallacy of the cheap labor theory
has been exploded. Practically. it has been
found here and everywhere to be the newt

wages to its laborers is invariably the most
prosperous. Cheap labor meaus money -mak-

HARD NUT TO CRACK.-On the 22d of March.
1869, Hon. James A. johnson moved sus.
pension of the rules in the House of Repre-.
sentatives, in order 10 introduce the following
resolution.
Resolved. That in passing the resolution
for the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitu
ton OF the United Suites. this House never
intended TINT Chinese and Mongolians should
become voters.
Commenting on this, the Chicago Times
says:
The motion to suspend the rules was lost
yeas, 4S. nays, LOG, not voting, 42--the yeas
consisting of A Democratic and only four
Republicans and all the nays being Republic
cans.
Thus. we see that the Republicans in the
House, by an overwhelming majority, voted
that, in passing the resolution for the FIT.
teenth Amendment TO the Constitution of the
United States, the House did intend that Chi.
nose and Mongolians should become voters.
We need not make any comment on this
proceeding. We present il to the public in its
