The New York Times editorially hints
that the time will come when the United
States will be over-run with tidal-wave
ofMopgolian immigration, and suggests
that IN . few years The superstition Of the
Chinese about the necessity of being
carried back to their native land to be
buried, will pass away. It is true, that
two Cinnamon have thus far become
naturalized, and have assumed the duties
and burdens of American citizenship.
but there ars &c. 900 Of that race in the
country who still cling to their traditions
and allegiance to their native land. It
is plain that the immigration question
must come mp on the Pacific coast, and
the opposition of the whites in that re-
gion would seem to place o great obsta-
Gle In the wsy Of general influx of
Celeatials.l Only few days ago, q meet
ing Of many of the wealthy men of San
Ffancisco entered protest against the
employment of Chinese labor in that
oity, a. they deem it injurious to their
interests, and they set forth the great in
jury to property which was incurred by
the purchase Of building lots by Chinese.
There Il certainly Chinese problem be-
fore the country, but It would be better
to dispose of the negro and Indian

Tho Centennial.

Much could be said against the South's
taking any active part in the centennial
Celebration. No one can consider. the
uNfriendlyt tone towards it of consider
able portion of the people of the North,
no'one eAn look at the prostration of
sohe Southern States, the odious govern
ments put over them, the weight of taxes
and debt under which they stagger, prin-
oipally due to the temper and character
OF the National Government, and pre-
tend to feel any gush of enthusiasm over
the great national anniversary. But it is
far from being profitable or wise to look
only on the dark side, and but dreary
satisfaction to dwell only on the Disagree
able. The evils of which we have Ind
the best right to complain, appear to be
pAsaing AWAY Great changes in public
sentiment North and South are every day
taking place. Perhaps the clouds are
clearing before the approach of the great
day itself, which is to mark our progress
for the last 100 years. Certain it is, q
revolution in sentiment is going on.
Prescription, bitterness, depreciation arc
melting before q flaming public opinion,
which denounces wrong. and insists
upon higher type of public and official
life. and, above all. demands justice tc-
wards the South. It may be, that the
fires of purer patriotism are to he re-
kindled at the old shrine. and 1876, in
its revivifying influence on our national
life. be only less grand than 1776. which
witnessed its origin.
The Southern States arc too poor and
too much reduced to contribute much
pecuniary aid to the centennial enter
prise. But they can make display of
the varied productions which spring
from their soil and ripen in their match
ieas climate and under their genial slsiea.
It would be Of immense advantage il
they could send these eloquent represen-
tatives to speak for them in the congress
Of nations which will bo assembled in
Philadelphia next year. II we had our
silkeh long cotton, our robust short
staple, our grains, fruits, woods. mine
rails. testifying to the paradise in which
our lot has been cast. they would set the
tide of immigration flowing this way AZ
nothing else can. We cannot afford,
''prostrate" State as We are, to be absent
from this great festival Let us go up
with the rest, claim our birthright, get
as much satisfaction out of tho occasion
as we can. and contribute our part to the
purifioation and renewal Of the great
national tie which binds us into one.
They will be worthy of the State which,
as Bancroft has said, made the American
Union.

The Luck of Roaring Camp. 30 happily
described by Bret Harte, was not ush-
cred into the world under more notable
auspices than was Storm Lnke Brolinska
In Iowa, q couple of weeks since. The
Western bound trains with several hun
dred passengers. were snow bound at
Storm Lake, O smrll city on the line of
the Illinois Central Railroad, eighty
miles East of Sioux City. The hotels Of
the place, as we'll as the private resi-
dences, were Of course soon crowded by
the beleaguered passengers. On one
train was q car of Mennonitss, ON their
way to join their countrymen in Dakota.
They refused to leave thoir car, and next
morning 1t was ascertained that bed
room, improvised by tacking sheets
across the end Of tho car, one of the
Mennonite women named Brolinska was
about to be confined. Two doctors from
Storm Lake volunteered their services,
and under their auspices possible Pre-
sident of the United States was success
fully ushered into life. The ladies of the
city, with the sympathy and curiosity Of
their sex, were not long in making their
way to the car, and excitement every
where prevailed. The Mayor called a
meeting Of the Council, which declared
the day a public holiday, and voted the
hospitalities Of the city to the baby and
its mother: A grand procession was soon
parading the gayly-decorated streets, and
the mother and baby were carried in tri-
umph to the public hall, where speeches
Were made by the Mayor, Judge kidder,
Delegate Ato Congress from Dakota, and
several prominent citizens. The an.
nouncement was then made that five-
acre plot Of land was to be given to the
baby, and then q poll was demanded,
and. all present voting for that name,
the boy was christened Storm Lake Bro.
linska. The procession then reformed,
and escorted Master Brolipska to the
station, and the train moved on amid the
firing Of cannon and the ringing of bells.

The position of our Government with
reference to Mexico seems to be this:
In 1928, border commission ipvasti-
gated the matter of damages received by
Texans from Mexican rniders, and after
taking over 1000 depositions, they found
that the claims for compensation
amounted to $40, 600, 900. of which s44,-
600, 900 were for cattle naids The Mexi-
can Government. on the other hand, re.
Gently sent commission to examine the
same matter, and have reported that the
American claims are Immensely ex-
aggerated. and that most of them had
been put in by parties who own no cat
tie. The commission was composed OF
throe Mexican lawyers. and a feature OF
their report was that they endeavored to
whitewash the desperate COrtina,

ulu 30 Well tnat IL would be treating
them with injustice to make special men
ton unless each one could be noticed in
the role he performed. At any rate, We
must mention the "Muldoon Guards
and "The Little Frauds" as enacted by
Baker and Farron. Prom their first ap-
pearance on the stage to the time of their
departure the audience was convulsed
with laughter. There are NO better actors
on the stage than these two celebrated
comedians. TO the loyera of comedy, of
real. genuine fun, we can safely ask them
to witness Baker and Farron. They are
"stars Of the first magnitude"
Another exchange says:
OPERA HousE.-The performances of
Chris and Lena. at the Opera House, last
s'aa.Is, was entertaining in the extreme.
Az true comedians, Messrs. Baker and
Farron arc equaled by few actors who
enjoy o much wider reputation. Ger
tainly to all lovers of mirth aud fun in
last nights audience they afforded tho
highest enjoyment The whole troupe
deserve general commendation and pa
tronage, and We take pleasure in BE-
speaking for them large sudiences wher.
ever they may perform. The lateness of
the hour At which we write prevents us
from giving the particular features Of
the play IN exsended notiee. The whole
alsAir was wall conducted, and was tho
roughly enjoyed.
