The Majority Report on Chinsss
Immigratisn.
WASHINGTON, March l.-Rspresent.
alive Meade Of the minority presented
to the House bis views Of Chinese i'm.
migration. He says that for years the
people OF the Pacific Coast have en-.
dsavorsd by State and municipal resu.
lations to discourage. or to an extent In
tsrdict. the Chinese influx to this coun.
try. and laws have been passed. which,
for the credit Of the country. had better
never have been placed upon the statute
book Of any country. But II 10 only
just to say that their ~impropristy Is now
generally conceded. Meade confessss
that all that Is claimed OF the personal
habits Of the Chinese has been sbund.
antly proved, but this goes but q little
way 10 prove that they are unit for res.
idenos among US. wbilo in San Fran
cisco aud other considerable towns on
Pacific slope their condition and treat.
ment go q long way to prove defects In
those municipal governments and their
regulations. Indeed the disclosures be.
fore the committee nre not favorable to
the city government Of San Francisco.
No complaint can be justly found with
the officials. bat tho laws which are
provided at Sacramento are inadequate
and suggest the necessity Of thorough
revision. For illustration, the entire
police force for patrol and harbor duty
being 100 In number. and detective In
discipline. In a town Of nearly 800. 600
population. made up Of elements from
all parts Of the world, would seem to
offer no serious inpedimsnt to a coniiict
OF races, and the testimony rather JUST.

to, rather than prevents, tho conosive
feeling which Is fast being, II not al
ready, permanently ongendered between
them. Respecting the Importation OF
women for immoral purposes the facts
disclose that while the practice Is
discontinued by the better por-
tons Of the Chinese residents In CAL
~ifornia, yet II exists aud is encouraged
In It's most revolving phase, Of which
credible testimony indicates that II even
falls short Of a full exposure Of tho de-
gredation Of morals at home among the
lower order OF Chinese. Meade thinks
the provsrbial hostility between labor
and capital has magniied the Importance
Of Chinese immigration, and that II is n
safe conclusion that the present liberal
wages OF the Pacific coast cannot be
maintained with any great increase Of
the labor element. Tho Chinese have
the most mental occupations, but give
satisfaction and work for less wages.
Meade ~dsprscates Chinese emigration,
but suggests that duo consideration
and regard should be had for the exist
ing treaty and obligations with China.
He suggests q liberal endowment for a
profcssorship Of the Chinese language.
We must know more OF the pso-
plo with whom our trade Is constantly
increasing. A new convention should
b. had with China, and Congress should
establish q department OF immigration.
For the present the entire business
remain with the treaty-making
Of this Government. A perma'
mont Chinese Embassy Is soon to be
established here, and n Chinese Consul
will DO timely and greatly facilitate
us In arriving at an intelligent DISPOSE
ton OF the question under considers.

A Just and equablo national policy
respecting immigration is at present
needed, and great wisdom and prudence
characterize II, especially in Tho
infancy Of the relations which are to
create 10 many bonds Of common In
between the Oldest and newest
nations Of the globe.
