AChapfer on the Heather Chlnee.
The most effective way to concen-
trate and utilize public opinion on
the Chinese question is to form clubs
and leagues. Virginia New Chroni-
Gle.
The Chinese have a powerful or
ganization of their own in this State
acting in defiance of our laws, and
there is a system of slavery or peon-
age among them that repeated efforts
cannot break. Yreka journal.
The talk of converting the heather
Chinee must be hopeless. 1t has
lately been shown that San Fran
cisco missionary has been in the
business ten years and has made only
ten converts. Oakland Tribune.
Never before in the history of the
labor question, as affected by the
Chimes on this coast, have that peo-
pie came into connection with them
selves. 1t is fact now that Chimes
laborers who six months ago demand
ed and received wages at the rate of
S25 per month can now be had for
SIS. Lampoc Record.
Mr.. Burlingame was only author
lied to enter into commercial relation
with the Chinese Empire but when
the treaty amendments proposed by
him were published they were found
to contain provisions looking to the
naturalization of the Chinese and in
viting their emigration the former
were stricken out, but the emigration
proviso still remains. Oakland News
Just so long as the Chinese evil
attacked only labor, capital shrugged
its shoulders and refused to interfere.
White men might lie idle, their fami-
lies might starve; what cared capital
Was 1t not growing rich on the "cheap
labor" of the heather Chinee? What
cared it though that cheap labor was
sucking the very life-blood from its
poorest brother, labor [Solano
Times.
After time forbearance will cease
to be virtue and woe unto the al
mond-eyed Celestials when this for
bearance GIBBS away. Extermina
ton will then commence with double
vengeance, for Chinese scalps will be
even less valuable than squirrels
skins and the hair forming their pig
tails will reach the highest market
value for mixing with plaster and
mortar. [Solano Republican.
Give John five cents worth of 'slicee'
and pair of chopsticks and he will
make full meal. How can white
labor hope to compete with such a
class 4? And is it any wonder that
with white workingmen and their
families starving, and Chinese labor
everywhere in excess of the demand, "a
movement should have been started
to prevent further emigration from
China to California ? Victoria (B C.)
Colonist.
The great reason why the China
man is nuisance and an evil is be-
cause he will not, and probably can
not assimilate with the American
people. Although he has been here
for twenty-five years, he is welded to
the traditions, the customs, the cos
tumes,, the law, the food, the novels,
the dirt, the vermin, the manners,
the habits, the vices and the religion
of China. Unlike the foreigners
who come from Europe, he does not
enter and become component part
of the nation. Napa Register.
The heaviest blow that could be
aimed at Chinese emigration to the
United States would be strict en-
forcement of the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution, abolishing
slavery. 1t is well known that the
worst classes of Chinese emigrants
are the most abject slaves, and few
of them would ever have found the
way to this country had not specula-
tors brought them here. Cut off this
speculation and we cut off an equiv
alent degree Of emigration. San Joa-
