TUE CHINESE QUESTION.
Lecture by Professor PunipelIy. Of Harvard
College.


Lecture by Professor PumpelIy. OF Harvard
College.
very interesting lecture was delivered last even
Ing at the Cooper Institute by Professor Raphael
Pumpely, OF Harvard College, the subject being
'lhe Chinese Question:"
inc lecturer VINO. BY the way, read from his manu-
script In a remarkably clear and resoundng tone OF
voice, which was easily heard In all parts OF the
room, was highly eulogsric OF the Chinese ~
people and, In fact. to Judge from tho data paradeo
Dy the Professor in their favor the people OF the
i0ng naa;on queues are & far anead q some Christian
that pertains to tnat novel article OF barter,
business psncps After giving 9 considesDls
sivey on the customs OF the people, their great intel
ligence aud wonderful aptitude TO learn he entered
upon that part OF his subject which mas moro inter-
est for Us Americans than any other namely; the
PROBABLE results OF great innux Of Chinese In our
oiCnnese or Coolies, bound BY odioas Contract tSss
made them for years worse than slaves, was thing,
10, be not s' .s. every uuSsf d ns
circumstances OF the case. how the voluntary iu.
migration OF Chinese into tnls country could be
prevented. Emigration from China was now D
necessity with the Chinese nation, and he did nQt
see how their competing IN the ordinary depart
ments OF labor could In any wise fnJure American
mechanics They had shown themselves skllful
w0rkmen so far, wherever they bad been employed,
and had IN his country for twenty years suerea nn
told prosecutions on account Of their race, ana yet
| had. IN California especially, against q 0ddA
worked their way into opnlence and N
| nuence. All the trade unions IN the w0ri0
| and special acts or legislation could in nowfso
affect the final result According 10 our constitution
their Immigration could not be prevented. and II tho
Cninaman showed himself skilled laborer he woui0
make his way against all odds. IL was simply .
question OF success, ard II the Chinese did not come
up TO the mark IN the labor market they would nat
urally have 10 retire from the arena. To endeav0r
| TO shut them ont would be to DO that for which
we had termed China "barDaran," in keeping
herself aloof from the rest or the world.
The lecturer concluded by expressing his belief
that an amalgamation Of the two races OF gradual
nature would naturally be one or the results OF
the Chinese lnfux ana that no fear need be enter
tanned OF a dsintegraton OF the superior by .
mixing OF the two Dloods. The Chinese were highly
intelligent race and the amalgamation would tnero-
fore be in wise damaging to the European portion
| OF our population.
There were several Chinese present during the leo
ture which was loudly applauded.

Church Music A,soc;a,iop.

The remarkable growth in one short season OF the
above society has created in the public mind sur
prise and astOnishment. The Church Music Associa-
tiOn private society, and, therefore to some ex-
tent exclusive. 1t is supported by about one hun
dred gentlemen, who subscribe 800 each. In return
for this they each receive bundle OF tickets accord
ing to their subscription. These they distribute
among their friends, who are citizens OF wealth
and influence IN the city and who, the nights OF
performance appear, to the number Of some two
thousand persons, attlred In full evening dress.
The first concert, In January last, in numbers and
excellence Of the orchestra and chorus presented a
performance OF orchestral ana choral music which
In It's execution has not been exceled by any similar
undertaking for years past. 1t was, however, con-
sidered by many but q splurge, arising from the
mere effect OF nOvety that as soon as that novelty
with It's usual attendant excitement had somewhat
evaporate. at least subsde to the ordinary level or
some OF our other vocal societies. On the contrary
the chorus already composed or ladies' and gentle
men moving In wealthy and influential circles OF
New York society, flushed, no doubt. with success
redoubed their efforts. The continued regularity OF
their attendance at the necessary rehearsas and the
assduity with which they prosecuted their studies
under Dr. James Pech, conductor OF large expe-
rence, though somewhat exacting acted ls stmu-
las upon those who were still doubling The chorus,
continually receiving fresh recruits from all parts OF
the city and neighD0rhood, appeared at second
concert In March, TO the number Of $50 singers,
aided by an orchestra Of seventy performers ut
which they displayed perfection OF chorus sing.
iuS IN MenuelssOnnS "LODXcsanX" Dut rarely heard.
The synopsis OF the third concert take place az
Steinway Hall May Is, mas Just been issued. 10 Is
repleto with varied information upon the compost
tOns to be performed that occasion. The Orches-
ira and chorus VIII be larger than al either Of the
previous concerts and everything promises we. for
the crOwning effort or the season.
We cannot close these remarks without compli-
menting the Executive Committee and their acJive
secretary for the ndomitabe pluck ana resolution
with which they are carrying through to the end this
most interesting series OF cOncerts To DR.. James
Pech with whom rests the musical direction, we can
honestly award the highest praise He has achieved
few rehearsals that which s frequently the result
OF years and years OF labor. IL is to be borne in
mind that but two orchestral rebearsals are allowed
to sach concert. With these only The orchestra un
der his direction has been excellent, so excellent
indeed, that we perceive by the programme that two
OF the Overtures-the ''Jube" and ''Oberonn-per-
formed at the previous concerts to be repeated
BY general request.
