ANOTHER sERvILE WAR.


The Anti. Chinese men of Carson, did
mot commit any violence which We are
exceedingly glad to learn. Nothing is TO
he gained by force and much will be lost.
It is true. it Is disgraceful that large
companies and corporations should en-
ploy Chinese labor 10 preference to
white men. but it is lawful to do SO, SO
neither the employers or employees
should be interfered with. The object
Of the working classes, should be to
alter the laws permitting the intro
dnction Of the Chinese into the country.
II the workers are true to themselves,
they can do this. They are in the
majority and il they organizs properly,
can elect such legislators. both State and
National, as they please. The matter 10
In their own hands and only requires
concerted and combined action to
remedy. Another National House of
Rspress natives is to be elected next
November. II the working classes are
true to themselves and act together, they
can sleci a inajorits of the members Of
the lower house. They then could
compel the recognition Of their claims.
To Cd, CT this orderly. peaceful. lawful
organization, is all that is required.
Force and violence will only defeat the
object. Sargent's scriptural quotation
Ia most especially applicable to the
American workers. "Be wise US ser.
penis but harmless as doves" Be
gentle and Law abiding. bat DO wise,
wise In time. wise while the power Is
in your hand. There il no telling how
soon tho great corporations and capitalists
will not only employ Chinese while
Americans are starving. but will place
the ballot in the hands of their Mongol
favorites and march them up to the polls
In platoons. American laborers have
but very little show now, how much
would they have then? Thus they had
better not fool their time away in ab.
surd and sporadic spasms of physical
force. Let them make hay while the
Sun shines. The present campaign is
their opportunity. To them It'll but lit
tie consequence who fills the Presiden.
iial chair. but 1t is all important to them
that majority Of the House should be
pledged to the cause of the white labor
er ~ against the Chinese. The cause is
national one. 1t is true the Pacific
Coast is now the chief sufferer, but soon
the Chinese plague will spread oil over
the land, and negro slavery will have
only been extirpated to permit the intro
duction Of o worse and more dangerous
type Of servile labor.

1t is funny to read newspaper pub

pie OF Nevada because Of the issuance of
gambling licenses. The Chronicle. the
paper in question. is disingenuous. II

not possible TO suppress gambling. The
only question for Nevada TO decide, was
whether it was the better plan to make a
virtue of necessity and lessen public bur-
dsns by contributions from a practice
which would obtain under any circum.
stances. We are not fond of the you're

can not help remarking that structures

That he was tired Of being classed

and he was ready for any investigation
or impeachment that could be had; nor
did he have any demurrer or plea to ju-

as it stood to be known. and il the coun-
try was not already aware that Repub-
