DEAR SlRs:-We, the undersigned citizens Of
Harvey county, Kansas, being acquainted with
the working ofthe MINNESOTA CHIEF TaREsH-
sR, from Minnesota, which has been threshing
in this locality the present season, cordially
recommend it TO the farmers Of Kansas and
other states as being q first class separator in
every respect, and as possessed Of many very
valuable improvements Of which other ma
chimes cannot boast. We considerit an indis-
pensable part OF the outfit for the successful sc.
curing Of the great wheat crop Of this region,

are less parts and gearing than to any other

1t is q splendid story of endurance
and devotion to duty. The brave men
who had undertaken to rescue these pris-

with manly faith neither danger nor

was not bound by ties of race or na:ion-
atty; but he knew that they were polit-
cal prisoners. cruelty held in bondage
and the seaman's heart. made generous
by intercourse with foreign lands, fell
deeply the bond of humanity, regardless
of Celtic or Anglo Saxon promptings.
1t must not be forgotten that by this
achievement Captain Anthony has de-
stroyed his career rs q whaleman- lie
has placed himself beyond the pale OF
every British harbor 10 the world. He
can no more follow his profession in the
South Sea or in the Indian OCEAN, for
nearly every port at which the whale
ships get supplies are possessions OF the
| British Crown. By this one act, don g
for Irishmen, Captain Anthony has liter
ally thrown away the years and expert
ence that have made him one OF the best
whalemen in. New Bedford.
The Irish OF America should not for
get this, nor allow such q debt to remain
against their name. Captain Anthony
should get such a testimonial rs will
put him beyond the necessity of ever
going 10 sea again. Unless this be done,
the brave man has ruined his future in
the interest of selfish an ungrateful
people. Ii the masses OF our people
would contribute each mite-ten cents
apiece-enough would be done. At the
meetings OF Irish societies throughout
the country, subscriptions OF this kind
might be raised; and local treasures
could be appointed to receive contribu-
tons. All subscriptions sent to The Pilot
will be acknowledged. There is not an
Irish man or woman in America who
could not give something, no matter
how small, to such an object; and we
trust that no time will be lost in settin g

ENGLISH lNuUMANlTY-Perhaps in the
long and'inelancholy annals OF human
misery there are no more narrowing
chapters than those which belong to the
sad records of the deportation from
Great Britain oil natives OF Ireland who
had labored in thia country for many
years 1t has been often proved that
even death frequently resulted from the
inhuman cruelties practieed ia carrying
unfortunate aud aged people across the
Irish Sea with far less care than cattle
They were exposed to wind and weather
when they were shipped off to the Irish
villages in which they had been born
But what cared The (so-called) relieving
officer" about the storm which pitilessly
peited around his drcnched and half
starved charge. so long rs the letter OF
the draconic law was fulfilled Aud yet
many Of those who were thus cruelty
flung away by England In the day of their
want and sorrow had come to her shore
in health, and had tor long years toiled
laboriously IN those works which help
TO build mp her national greatness. But
when, in.course of TINA age had robbed
them of their strength and bitter want
Frustrated their energies, the old story
came again into action

CHINESE EMIGRATION.

The San Francisco Board OF Supervi-
son took the right course when they
called meeting Of citizens 10 consider
the question Of Chinese emigration. The
influx Of coolie labor is becoming greater
and greater each recurring year. II has
already had . most injurious influence
on the working GLASSES Of this coast. and
10 some extent in the East. In Pacific
States and Territories where Chinese
labor comes in direct contact and compe-
tition with the white workers. the result
has been most disastrous to the latter.
Thousands and thousands Of them have
been thrown ont Of employment alto
gether. or their wages reduced to point
that rendered decent living impossible.
All the lighter trades, not requiring any
great skill. but in which o moderate
amount OF technical aptitude is neces-
sary. are engrossed by these swarthy and
unwelcome heathens. II they were out
Of the way, tens Of thousands OF boys
and girls would be able to procure en-
ployment at living rates. Now the former
arc kept in enforced idleness, serving to
recruit the rapidly growing army OF
hoodlums, while many Of the latter meet
even worse fate. This continued and
increasing Chinese emigration is thus
becoming 80 serious matter that It
must command the gravest consideration
OF the wisest and coolest thinkers
in the country. The Chinese are
invading our shores in increasing num-
bers. They have already thrown a vast
body OF white laborers out OF employ
ment. They bring with them not only
the most loathsome bodily diseases but
moral depravity IN its most repulsive
form. conjoined with the hideously foul
bodily habits that are possible to be con-
ceived or to become addicted. They not
only do all this and exhibit these unde.
sirabls characteristics. but they practic-
ally defy the laws Of the country. 1t is
almost impossible either to arrest or con.
vict Chinese offender upon the unsup.
ported testimony Of their countrymen.
The obligation Of an oath is nothing to
them. They are callously Indifferent to
bodily suffering or loss Of life in others.
They live in separate communities, gov.
erned by their own laws or customs,
where, like the Alsatla Of ancient Lon
don, the laws become dead letter and
cannot be enforced. II is time this con.
dition Of things were altered for the bet.
ter. Some measures ought to be de.
vised and acted upon which will cause
this swarming Of undesirable heathens
to be diverted from our shores. Those
who are already here should DO com

Federal and State officers, detected in
official malfeasance and threatened with
impeachment. should be permitted to re-

ton OF impeachment trials, leaving the

flicted by Criminal Court. The con-
duct OF the House of Representatives in

ton, is the work of partisanship-not
