The hoodlums Of San Francisco are
evidently bent on doing all in their
power TO aid those capitalists who are
making money out Of Chinese cheap
labor, and fastsn the curse permanently
upon US. They celebrated Christmas
by smashing the windows Of Chinese
Warehouses. and stoning and beating
every Monaghan who dared to show his
face ON the streets. Some Of the China
men we're severely injured. and bat two
arrests Of the offenders we're made du.
ring the entire day. Indeed. the police
seem to DO thoroughly in sympathy
with the lawlsss classes. when the VIC
tim Of their ~rufisnism happens to BE- a
Chinaman. They pass by plaeidly ION

gazing steadily hsavsnward. OF course
the news OF these outragss is telegraph

Congressman who already have q de-
cided leaning TO what thsy deem the

to strengthen their opposition to any

do not see the curse which this element
Of our population Is Ito the Pacific Coast.
but they DO read Of every outrage CON-
United upon the heather. and each one
furnishes them q new point with which
to enforce their arguments in his de-
