CHINESE PoLITIcrAss.-The Chinese
are apt imiiators and few faults exists in !
the American character without they
faithfully copying them. But their
latest move has considerable shrewdness
in il. The six companies Of San Fran
cisco have made up campaign fund OF
$50. 900 and given 1t to the Republican
Central Committee with instructions
that it shall be put where it will do the
most good. They seem to think that If
the Democracy get into power their
days ore numbered and give substantial
aid to the party who they believe is their
best friend. That demand" plank in
the st. Louis platform has set the astute
heads OF the companies to thinking and
the result OF Chinese deliberation is the
sensible plan of raising campaign fund.
This is splendid opportunity for Dem
ocratic editors to show the necessity OF
voting with the party that is opposed to
Chinese immigration. We are inclined
to think the $50, 900 will not help the
California Republicans much. The re-
sulting good will be counterbalanced by
the splendid argument it affords the
other eide. Simply considering it as an
example OF Chinese shrewdness II shows
what apt scholars our Asiatic visitors
are. They are wiser In their generation
than the children OF light.
