We learn that the Notorious Sneak News
Thief, JoHS RESELL YouSG, has been caught
stealing the news Of the American Press Assoca-
ton, with which he has been connected. The
stolen property hc has sold privately, for his own
benefit, after the usual manner Of sneak thieves.
When he stole the news Of the Associated Press.
that body kicked him out Of the Ir,Jfae and an
its members, Mr.. GREELEY included, have since
regarded him as a Sneak News Thief. And now
it seems from late number Of the Brooklyn
Union that the American Press Association have
followed MIR. GREELEY's example, and kicked
him out Of their establishment. Truly the way

The Young Democracy should think
twice before they send delegates to the Tammany
State Convention. The Tammany leaders are
anxious to place them in a false position before
the Democratic masses. As there is no posi-
bility Of the admission Of their delegates TO
the Convention, the Tammany chiefs would
accuse them Of an attempt to create
a row in the Democratic camp solely in the in
terest of WoopFoED. lie; the Young Democracy
not waste their strength, but bend all their ener-
gies TO the great battle for reform in this city.
The defeat Of TAmmany this fall may be the
signal Of their success in the State next year.
Let them not, however, forget that FERNANDO
woop, even when backed by strong majority
in this city, failed to secure representation in
the State Convention.
The day may not be far distant when Tam.
many delegates will be found seeking admission
to State Convention Of the Young Democracy.

Paris which reports lat Minister WAsHBuRSE
is disguised with Secretary FISH lie told JuLEs
fAvtE that he had protested personally against
useless measures, and dsapprovsd the cruel cold
ness of the American Government" This is not
exactly diplomatic language. Under ordinary
circumstances Il iorcisn Minister is not justified
in thus condemnug ,hc action Of his own Gov
eminent toward the Government to which he ia
accredited. But that Mr. wAsHBuRSe Is dis.
gusted with Mr.. Fsu is no news. Long before
leaving America he is said to have spoken freely
OF the Secretary Of State as a "lunkhead :" and
it would not be surprising II, amid the excitement
by which he Is now surrounded in Paris, he
should roughly repeat the same opinion 10 the
French Republican leader. But as there is no
French word which precisely corresponds to
'lunkhead,' he probably made use of some
polite circumlocuton which has got translated
into the HerdiFs telegram by the phrase dis
gusted. One thing is certain, and that is that
the American people sympathze with this senti-
ment They, too, are Disguised with Mr.. FISH

The Future Of California ecith

San Francisco Chronicle, May q.


Ten years since the Chinese population
Of California contented themselves with
monopoly of the laundry business. Tho
number of white persons dependent on that
then nominal; to-day their number is great,
and they are obliged to seek such employ.
ment-the Chinaman is preferred because
he can afford to do it cheaper; he has no
family to support. In ten years the cum.
ming Of the Chinese has made them work.
ers in cloth, in leather, in cotton and wool,
and they monopolize the various manufac.
lures of tobacco; they have usurped the
places which III the Eastern States arc filed
by women, and which women here could
engage in for their support. The number
of females has increased in California until
now they form . large class Of society.
what shall become of them? If tho Chi.
nese have done SO much in ten years to
crowd out white laborers, male and female,
what will the next decade bring forth !
The Mongolian will most assuredly not
stop where he is, for his course is progress
i've. lie copies the white laborer, ana then
takes his place. Capital will teach him tho
trades, and when = Chinaman can do an
American carpenter and bricklayer's work
at wages fifty per cent. lower than tho
white man with his family, he will be en-
ployed. With aChincsc male population OF
three hundred thousand, what would be our
social and political condition? The Chi
ncse would then, as now, be owned and con.
trolled by Capital. Should they become
voters, Capital would direct their votes and
the country be in the handsof their masters;
without votes they would be owned by an
oligarchy to which the American slave
holders can scarcely be compared, while the
white population-the working classes
would be sunk lower in degradation ana
squalid poverty thsn ever were the poor
whites of tho Southern States before tho
war. 1t is the consideration and contem-
plation of such state of facts, inseparable
from the continuance of Chinese immigra.
ton, that induces US to sound the alarm and
ask the people of both political parties to
unite on this question, so full Of danger to
ourselves and our posterity. We have
faith in the masses, for they are the source
of all power in the American Government.
Self protection is the first great law OF ma.
ture: it must he invoked. The truth OF
these prospective evils will become apparent
to every one who thinks for moment on
the subject. Unless the people take hold
of the subject aow, and act upon the inevi'
table conclusion that our future prosperity
depends entirely upon the exclusion OF this
race from our midst, the doom OF Califor'
MIA is sealed.

Then the bar pctered out,
And the boys wouldn't stay;

But Dow, In his well, kept peggin' In his usual
