Editor Anti- Monopolist.
In my late communication to your
popular journal, limited at a feature of
the Chinese plague, which is we'll known
in this community, but which the news
papers are either afraid to allude to, or
brised to observe silence on. | mean
the immoralities of which the Chinese
become the instruments, and the bad et-
feet OF their shocking example on the
youth OF our population.
The smooth. elastic and plump per-
son of well fed Cinnamon are great favor
ties in some families, where unhappily.
love and conjugal harmony do not flour
ish, and hence the frequent divorces, as
sassinations and suicides which places
California at the head Of all other states

Most every day within sight of to Sns
and villages. stages are stopped. safes
containing treasure taken oft boldly
from the custody of expressmen, and
passengers relieved OF their watches and
purses as in the day of Robin Hood.
Last month in the region of Humboldt.

was robbed and one of his assistants
killed, among five or six, and this was
ompiished-murder and robbery-by
one man, on the highway at Ga. m.
not more than five miles from large
village.
Then again. the Young men here who
are called .'Hoodlums," are generally en-
rolled in gangs of from II to - persons
for the purpose of robbery and house
breaking. and the law is powerless
against the evils OF "Hoodumism."
This state of affairs. presaging such
evils for the future of our young state. is
the direct result Of the importation of
Chinese coolies, who. because they work
cheaply after their arrival. and are use
tul in the way limited ut above, are hired,
we'll treated, and almost as we'll used as
the favorite poodle dogs of the East
while the white boys are secuted, the
door slapped in their faces il they ask
for work. and thus being tabooed by their
own race, take their revenge on society
by joining into bands of assassins and
robbers all over the country and in the
cities.
To remedy this state OF things. schools,
churches and preaching have proved
failures. for by givingn boy schooling
and turning him out on the streets to
starve by the side of Chinese competi-
ton. you only sharpen his wits and add
hundred fold to his natural propensi-
ties for evil and crime.
But who are responsible for this terri
BILE state OF affairs? On whose souls. il
they have any. will lie the stain OF turn
