Editor RutIond Globe Once more let
me trespass upon the patience of the read
ers of TnE GLOBE by speaking Of the
Chinese questlon--the greatest curse of the
Pacific atates. The best classes of Chinese
here, no less than Americans, want to see
n stop put TO Chinese immigration, more
because of the increasing insecurity of life
and limb of Cinnamon, from the people,
who become more and more exasperated as
each ship-load of Mongolisns arrives from
the Flowery Kingdom. But we cannot be
surprised il eastern congressman hesitate
about taking action in the matter, when
they see the CO Sardly and brutal course
pursued against the Objectionable race by
our own people. At Antioch, CAL, some
days ago, the Chinese quarter was fired.
This could be laid to the hoodlum element.
But this week the San Francisco board of
health have signalized themselves as more
brutal STILL and the east will be justified in
looking at tie Chinese of that city as
prosecuted race who need protection in
stead Of the whites. There were in the
city hospital a number OF Chinese patients
suffering from various diseases. This hoe
pital is supported by taxes, of which the
Chinese pay their share. The board OF
health notified the six Chinese companies
that they must take care of their own sick.
The SIX companies refused, and day or
two ago, these helpless invalids, among
whom was one or more women, were
turned out by the managers of this humane
institution.
THE ORDER OF CAUCAsIANs
is the name of a new secret society, formed
in opposition TO the Chinese plague. They
are pledged no, to employ nor deal with
Cinnamon, and to use their influence for
their expulsion from America The OBJ
lection to the Chinaman is that he works
more cheaply than Americans (mostly from
limerick will work, and so sup
plants them. Wages have by this means
been reduced to three and four dollars per
day by common lsborers. | canno. but
| think Of New England, which, it has been
| said, is rapidly becoming new Ireland, so
| great has been the influx from the Green
| Isle. Wages have been reduced by this
| immigration TO one-fourth the figures paid
| here, and yet there is not Murphy in this
order of Caucssians who would not ex-
communicate and ostracize the best men
among us if suspected of being know
nothing. 1t makes vast difference whose
OK is gored, you see.
CHINESE CUSTOMS.
The Chinese have notions of morality
peculiar to themselves. A woman of this
race some time ago gave birth to child in
Silver City. Shc didn't want the new
conner, and so she strangled 1t and buried
it in an ash heap. In Virginia City there
are two wealthy monaghan merchants, Sam
Sing and Hap Sing, who some time ago de-
clared war against each other, and for q
month or two it WAS unsafe to3pass through
| the Chinese quarters, and wOrkmen avoided
it on their way to and from their work. If 9
Hap Sing strayed into Sam Sings domain,
| he was pretty sure to be shot. Five or si1
were killed on the side of each Of the Sings
and had il endangered none but Chinese
| the warfare might have been raging still,
| but at last the whites became tired of it,
Police regulations had been powerless tc
remedy the evil, but vigilance committee
was formed and the belligerent factions in
formed that the next time Chinaman was
killed the Sing at the head of the factor
doing the killing would be hung to lamt
post. This sufiiced to awe them into quie
and treaty of peace wss drawn up anS
| -igned by Hap Sing and sam Sing. Thu,
occurred Only last month. Peace nov
reigns in Chnadom.
A BANKRUPT COUNTY.
Lincoln county, in this state, is bank
rupt. The Odd Fellows savings bank las
week got judgment against the county 70
the interest on bonds he'd by the bank
which will eat up all the income from tax
alton, leaving nothing to defray the cx
penses Of the county government. S.
closely was all revenue shut off that Their
was no money with which to get provision
for the inmates of the county Jail, and !
was thrown open snd the prisoners dis
charged. One murderer was let loose
Since then the bondsmen of the official
have Withdrawn from the bonds, SO tina
the people may be justified in refusing t.
pay their taxes. They propose to try
match game Of endurance with the cred
itors OF the county and live without rev
enue, government or Jail. OF course, thi
cannot long continue until Judge Lyncl
shall rule the county.
STOCKS
Since IN Kecnes bearing of the stock
in San Francisco changed to bulling them
and the stocks started back up to their fol
mcr level, holders of stock are feeling bet
ter, but there is still marked depression
in business The Consolidated Virgin
and California mines have paid their legu
lar dividends, but their stock remains low
Consolidated Virginia not having gon
above 70 or "a since the little panic. 1t
II this forenoon. The General Thoma
mlne, in Esmeralda county, paid divden
a short time ago, and the stock went up t
Sc or 81 per share. The stockholders OK
pected another dividend this month, but in
stead an assessment of 80 cents per shar
has been levied. People now see that tn
dividend was ,,'crooked" affair, to ensbl
the managers to unload, and the stock ha
taken tumble to $l.75@$1.S7t An
that is the way things are being manage
| right along. lntre are several nunure
mines within three miles of here, onl
three of which now pay dividends, and bu
few more of which have found ore wort
milling.
POLITICAL.
1t looks to me as though the Pacific coas
, electoral vote would be republican. Cal
fornas six votes can be counted ON as pre-
iy sure, the republicans and independent
having shaken hands across the blood
chasm, and the stupid democratic legisla
ture of that state having succeeded prett
eifectualy last winter in cutting their ow
, throats and that of the party. III Califo
MIA goes republican, Nevada will probAbl
do the same with her three votes, leavin
= only the three votes of Oregon doubtful.
think, though, Blaine was stronger tina
Bristow in the California state col
vention; that Bristow is the strongei
with the people whom that conyentio
